,ETTING A WOUND ALONE

LETTING A WOUND ALONE
 One night back in the pre-prohi- bition era, returning from a call, l passed a saloon - and l wish we had saloons back instead of the vi- ciotl. cocktail lounges that affiict the country today-where the police officer was having trouble with some of the drunks who resented being put out of the saloon at clos ing time. One obstreperous fellow charged the copper yelling to his companions to come on and beat the so-and-so up. It looked bad for the cop. but at the last moment he drew his nightstick and neatly conked the leader of the gang, dragged him to the patrol box and held him until the police wagon came. A woman of the neighbor- hood came out with a basin of wa ter and rag to wash the victims scalp wound. l interfered to pre- vent it. The wound had bled enough for protection and such attempt to clean or dress 1t there on the street would only increase the risk of in- lection. When l learned that the gang had contrived to have the cop tried in court for using unneces- sary force in arreSting the fellow I volunteered my testimony that the cop had used no more force than wsS reasonable in the circum- stances. This annoyed the attorney who represented the gang. So the attorney asked whether I had giv- en the wounded man any treat ment. had to answer no, without any qualification. And had I pre- vented a woman from binding up the mans wound? That, too, I had to answer without any ey- planation. The police officers at- torney did not bother to let me explain. The officer was punished, and the jury received the impress sion that I was a cold-blooded kind of doctor.
 Letting a wound alone is an art which most laymen and some doc tors will never learn. Trouble is, they proceed under the childish be- lief that every wound requires an antiseptic of one kind or another to make it heal. The truth is that no known antiseptic or killer (germicide) or disinfectant pro- notes healing, and very often the healing process is retared by the antiseptic unnecessarily applied be- cause every krown antIeptic or germicide or disinfectant destroys tender new tissue cells when ap- piled to a wound. That is the req son why no antiseptic is used on the wound when skin grating is done, and TO antiSeptic is used for the dressing of wounds when plas- tic surgery is done.
 Indeed the idea medical or Surgi- cal treatment of wound comprises just two essentials, CD immediate disinfection of the wound and then CD scientific neglect or let-alone The immediate disinfection is best left to the hands of the doctor. If doctor is not available, then, ip my judgment, the immediate appli- cation of Mild Tincture of Iodine is the best first aid treatment, and as soon as the iodine has dried Cat least on the skin surrounding the wound) a covering of the wound with pad of sterile gauge or with a freshly ironed pad of soft cloth or handkerchief and bandage or ad- hesive straps to retain the dressing in place.
 Nature heals every wound at a certain pace and nothing under the sun can hasten the healing.

gadgets and electrical toys, find simple playthings entirely to their satisfaction.
 Maybe they aren't just what Mama and Dad would like to buy, but they are plenty good enough for the kids.
 Besides, the grown-ups aren't holding back this year-feeling afraid to celebrate or apologetic about being happy. Anybody who feels happy this year has a free conscience.
 So don't feel bad about the kids if you can't find an electric train or afford pair of ice skates. They are going to have the best Christi mas the younger ones of them have ever known-and the best one most of them have known for several years.
 THEY'RE PLENTY LUCKY
 The Dads back from overseas aren't going to think the kids are gypped in any way. They are going to think they are plenty lucky to be having Christmas in America, to have warm clothes and toys and to have dinner with turkey and all the f1xings.
 And for their kids it will be too bad if there is anything left on their plates.
 The vision of foreign kids stand ing in line, hoping for bit of left over food from an army mess, is still too bright a picture in their memories.
 So don't worry. It's going to be wonderful Christmas for Ameri- can kids, a wonderful Christmas for America.

Party Directors

LONDON, April 7. (UP)-Berlin
reported Saturday night that Adolf
Hitler had ordered the separation o,
Nazi party and government posts
within districts, thus excluding party
gauleiters or district leaders and
their subordinates from the govern
ment set-up.
The first Nazi broadcasts report
ing the change in the basic policy
of Nazism did not make clear It's full
import. 1t came at an hour when
the organized resistance of the Ger
man army was crumbling and the
question was arising whether the
Nazis still lruled the Reich and if so
how long they could continue to
do so.
The DNB news agency in broad
cast dispatch said Hitler had Or
dered clear-cut separation in the
government and party posts, as re-
vealed in Nazi press correspondence.
The German radio said Hitler had
found that the war had proved it
impossible for one man to carry out
effectively the tasks of two or more

Battle Cabinet Assumes
Power as japan Weokens

LONDON, April 7. (UP)
Admiral Baron Kantaro Su-
zuki Saturday announced a
new battle" cabinet fer Japan with
himself as premier, foreign minister
and greater East Asia ministers.
In a foreboding inaugural state
ment, Suzuki warned his people that
the war situation warrants not the
least bit of optimism whatever for
our nations survival"
THE enemy has now firmly eS-
tablished themselves on our home
land" Suzuki said, referring to the
American invasion of Japan's Okin-
ava prefecture less than 400 miles
from Kyushu.
Suzuki, in prewar years regarded
as a political moderate, chose two
other admirals, general, and a
group of career civil servants to
help him guide Japan in the great
est military and political crisis in
her history.
The cabinet list was broadcast by
the Tokyo Domei agency, presum-
ably after it had been approved by
Emperor Hirohito. It's completion
was delayed by the American Super
fortress attack on Tokyo Saturday

of gold in the mine. That would be
$84,O00,0OC at the American rate of
$35 toy ounce.
In addition, the Germans said,
there was about $3,000,000, 900 in
paper Reichsmarks, $4,000, 100000 in
U. S. dollars, about $4,000 in
English pounds, as well as 100000

paintings and statutes, $50 tapes
tries, thousands of engravingS and
100 cases Of the original Goethe COL
lection from Weimar.
The geld was stored in a chamber
2100 feet below the ground. The

German officials.

were under no pressure and had nc

quickly be proved or disproved.
