age Of 4 dog is also factor in

BUSTING RESULTS
ARE SATISFACTORY

nr A, H. Elliot of the consolidat-
ID health department pointed out
yesterday that early reports on the

Gram so far has proven satisfac-

have been almost entirely exter-
minated.
busting of Zone l. the shipyard-
Msffitt Village-Sunset Park region
IN which the typhus incidence was
highest in the county lis expected
to be completed this week, DR.. Ell
Int said. The spraying, which be-
can in mld-September, should re-
main effective for from four to six
months.
According to present plans,
spraying of the downtown Will
mington section will begin next
week and DR.. Elliot estimated
that if would take between two
and three months to dust the en-
tire area.
The overall busting program for
New Hanover county will require
about a year in order to complete
" eradicate the typhus threat to
this vicinity. It is planned to dust
all buildings in the downtown area
and all private residences where
there is evidence of rat infesta-
ton twice during the year.
The program originally planned
IN include all residences except
those in extremely isolated loca-
lions however, after the program
was launched, the health depart
men+ discovered that it would take
from two to four years to COM
plete such a busting. The project
was then limited to industrial build
ings and those residence that are
rat infested.
New Hanover was one OF the
four counties in the state, along
With Sampson, Craven and Wilson,
designated for DOT busting be-
cause of the high incidence of ty-
phus. To undertake the job, the
county was allocated 10000 pounds
of DOT dust. The busting crew is
comprised Of foreman and four
Workmen.

MINOR LEACUER
 MEET WINDS UP
Numerous" Revisions Proposed for Agree

CHICAGO. March 1.-The minor league committee, which has de- manded a voice in the selection of Baseball's new Commissioner, now plans to meet with major league representatives within the next three months, to discuss proposed changes in the major-minor league working agreement.
 The Remember committee has closed it's three-day meeting here during which it proposed "numer- GUS revisions in the agreement It has selected a 7-man sub commit tee to uphold it's recommendations at a meeting with major league off cials, scheduled for Chicago in June or before then.
 Chairman Tom Richardson, East ern League president, said the com mittee had recommended to increase the player draft price maximum of $7,500. Richardson declined to re- veal the maximum price sought or to itemize the numerous revis- icns.

on a troop train, has been regu- lated scientifically The kitchen is under the supervision of mess officer twho is usually also the train commander and six enlisted men.
 Since sanitation plays a vital part in troop movements, paper eating and drinking utensils are used. This eliminates dishwashers, saves valuable space that other wise would be required for dish washing equipment, and lessens the danger of transmission of dis ease through inadequately washed dishes.
 Often the food and other SUD- plies run out before the destina- tion is reached. Since only two men know the ultimate destina tion-the train commander and the train escort Ca representative of the railroad) d)-the duty falls on them to wire ahead for supplies to be picked up en route.
 There is no doubt about it-one of the most difficult problems of this war has been solved, thanks to the cooperation by both the armed forces and the railroads.
 Without this teamwork such mammoth daily troop movements, free from epidemics, at mini mum of cost and maximum Of efficiency in the maintenance of schedules, could not be attained.
 zThe same precision in. maintain ing schedules of troop movements is reflected by American industry on every sector of the home front where a never-ending stream of supplies goes forward to the war front, making certain of that in- evitable day of victory.

Exclusive Central Press Dispatch
 MAIN STREET, U. S. A. Through every town and rail june Iion in America. troop trains are criss-crossing the nation, creating generation of train and travel conscious Americans from the Ozarks to thes Dakota grainfields.
 This wartime conversion of one oc. our nations biggest industries wasn't easy; it was bound to have great civilian repercussions. It did. By the middle of 1922 train travel n America was an ordeal, the sub ject of countless government edicts and appeals.
 Civilians, wives and children of servicemen, bu n S m e n, all seemed to find reasons for an un- precedented increase in travel. It was no wonder, then, that by Oc- tober Of 1922 trains earmarked flor troops in transit only" were being assembled in every station.
 Even so train travelling was not exactly joy ride-for servicemen and train crews. The average jour ney for troop train for the entire nation during this past year, from starting point to destination, re- quired 28 hours of travel.
 This is bad enough for the sol diers, but think of the crews. A troop train hardly ever gets a breathing spelA except for neces- sary repairs. Because of labor shortages there are virtually no crew replacements.
 There have even been instances where crews have been on the same train-without having seen their homes or families meanwhile flor six consecutive months!

Third Contest of Season to Be Shot at A. B.

Rifle shots will again be heard to- night in the AB Hall at 7:30 o'clock tonight as the Juneau Blues and Reds of the Alaska Territorial Guard meet their favorite opponents, the Douglas units, in the third small bore four position rifle match of the season.
 Henry Harmon said today the pre- vious matches seemed to have been pushed by an air of competition but he would like to see more expert shooting - shoot to win but try to make as high score as possible.
 In tcnielit's match Charles Cor dcn of the Reds will be unable to participate. One of the alternates, as yet not named, will take over for Gordon.
 Following the match, Harmon said refre shments will be served to the tired shooters" He added that any, one wanting to see the match was welcome to come to the AB Hall and watch the guardsmen try to put holes near the bulls-eye

|. An average troop train is made tip of Pullmans, tourist sleepers troop sleepers and a troop kitchen car. The last two are innovations of this global war.
 The tourist sleeper is not a con verted box car, despite popular be- lief, but is one of 1900 cars spe- cially built by the government with an eye to postwar conversion by the railroads into baggage and ex- press carriers. Each car has 30 berths, 15 at each side. It may not equal the de luxe Super Chief, but it is far superior to overnight coach travelling.
 Even a Shower Bath
 The kitchen car is a remarkable outgrowth of the war. It has a regulation Army coal range with capacity of 250 meals at one time.
 It also boasts a shower bath for the cook and his KPs, who are re- quired to use it before preparing each meal, These cars, too, were constructed for postwar conver- sion into baggage carriers.
 Though serving meals to the troops is quite feat, it has ac- tually been perfected to the point of individual service. This was made possible by system of serv- ing, whereby paper cups, paper plates and miniature paper "sil- verware" are distributed first. Then come the KPs with the grub" in huge 2o-gallon pots just off the stove, followed by dessert and coffee. An average, well-prs- pared and good-tasting meal, fol example, includes boiled hambur. ger or beef stew, stewed tomatoes sliced canned peaches, coffee. Food-the most important item

 Major offensive
 Though the Soviet high command had nothing to say on the progress of the battle in Silesia. Berlin broadcasts reported Marshal Ivan s. Konevs First Ukrainian Army had launched a major offensive de- signed to encircle Breslau, pre-war Germbany's eighth largest city.
 With Konev's forces south of Breslau already within 12 miles of the city. the NaZis said other col- umns struck out from bridge head on the west bank of the Oder northwest of the city.
 The northern forces drove 18 miles beyond teh Oder into the out skirts of LiegnitZ, 40 miles west of Breslau, Berlin conceded The drive left Breslau two thirds encircled.
 Tn East Prussia, the Russians en- circled the fortress city of Elbing after a tWo-Week battle and drove on another IT miles to the north east to capture Frauenburg, on the coast of the F'risches Half lagoon.
 The fall of F'rauenburg erected a 20-mile wide wall between the Dan- zig Free State and the fast-shrink- ing Nazi pocket south and south west of Koenigsburg in East Prus- sia.
 More than 2,6OO Germans were captured in the advance and several thousand more killed. Several de- fense lines of trenches, steel and concrete pillboxes, anti-tank ditches and minefields were overrun.
 Far to the south, Marshal Feodor I. Tolbukhin's Third Ukrainian Army recaptured lost ground be- tween encircled Budapest and Lake Balaton in advances of up to four miles.
