words written by one Of your"
(Japanese) comrades. now re-
cuperating in an Allied hospital.
"A MAN CLOSE TO A GOD"
Until the recent disgraceful
event of my capture" reads the
soldiers letter, II had been
taught to picture Americans as
devils wearing masks of gold.
Since then, however, l have had
to drive that feeling about AM
orleans out of my heart II
was meeting Captain Paul xxx,
the American Army doctor who
looks after our ward, that made
me change my feeling He
treats us with a humanity which
transcends all barriers of nation
ality or race. He is a man close
to a god
Another effort to break down
the hate feeling which is a
major obstacle to the accept
ance Of all American ideas, was
put mo a New Years greeting
card, with a picture of a Jap
maiden in native dress. The
caption says she is embarrassed
at wearing grown-up style of
hair dress for the first time.
THE fighting spirit you have
sho ~ during the old year was
worthy of japanese heroes and
has won our respect" says the
New Year Japanese pin-up girl

day will SOON come when we
can call each other friends

HOW 1T ALL STARTED
Eleven years ago Dorothy was
a chorus girl in vaudeville and
Ziegfield shows. One day she
was stranded in Los Angeles
and a friend got her a job with
a secondhand furrier. She liked
it and finally went into business
for herself, working out OF her
Hollywood apartment, and then
hit upon the motion Picture

Its exciting work" she said.
"You never know who is going
to walk in with a load of clothes
under their arm"
Just as we were leaving Jean
Heather, the Paramount starlet,
came in.
Dorothy Richmond started
humming, Take 1t Off"
We got out of there before she
made a bid for our coat and
pants.

HOME NURSE
By Iona L. TROTT
Assistant Director,
Red Cross Nursing Service
Written for NEA Service

The responsibility for, giving
any kind of medicine is a seri-
Gus one, even though you are
carrying out the instructions Of
a doctor. No home nurse should
give medicine without the
doctors order, because nearly
all medicines contain one or
more drugs that may be danger
Gus to life il not given properly.
It may be a temptation in
these days Of doctor shortages
to take things into your own
hands and give . medicine that
you know from experience has
helped someone else, but this is
extremely unwise. If the doc
tor can't visit the patient and it
is not possible to take the pat
lent to him, you can at least try
to report to him over the tele-
phone and get his instructions,
instead of relying on your own
judgment.
The effectivenecc of a medi-
cine depends on its being given
to the right person in the right
way and at the right time. There
are a few general rules to re-
member which the doctor may
not take time to explain when
he gives an order.
RULES TO REMEMBER
/. A medicine given before
or after meals should be given q
half hour before or q half after.
as the case may be.
2. A cathartic, to be given at
night, should be given at bed
time.
3. A sedative, TO be given at
night, should be given an hour
or two earlier than bedtime 50
that its effect will be felt about
bedtime.
4. Medicine ordered to be CIV
en- in the morning should be CIV
en- before breakfast.
The dosage prescribed by the
doctor should be given exactly
and without variation. Never
attempt notifications, even
though you have reason to be-
lieve the dose IL too much or too
little. Report the effect to the
doctor and let him decide what
change should be made.

esting bidding problem to Leo
Leventritt, who held the North
cards.
II brings out a good point.
Most people with the strong
cards that South held insist on
playing the contract in either
no trump or one of their suits.
But just bear this in mind. You
open the bidding with two
spades. You rebid spades and
now your partner bids four
hearts. You show a second suit
with your bid of five diamonds
and he insists on bidding hearts.
Now, when you bid five no
trump and he bids six hearts,
South must pass.
think Leventritt bid the
hand very well and South was
quite correct in passing the six
hearts.

FUGITIVE I5 RUN
 D0WN;;MANH HUNT
 ON AT FAIRBANKS

] A five-hour man hunt that spread from Fairbanks to Graehl and back highlighted by the use of tear gas bomb at one place and forced entry at another, all followed by the prisoners attempt at suicide in the jail, figured in the arrest of Johnny Karns Sunday, according to the Fairbanks News-Mirer of last Monday.
 Karns, 25-year- old ex-convict, has been sought by Anchorage officers since he escaped from the Anchor age jail August 16 while being held to answer a robbery charge. He has a jail record in Alaska as well as a prison record in Montana and Idaho.
 1 Tear Gas Used The manhunt began at about 5 o'clock Sunday morning when Po- lice Captain Don White learned that Karns was in town and called Police Chief George Norton, who in turn notified the U. s. Marshals office. Territorial Highway Patrolman A. P. Brandt and the military police were asked to assist in the hunt. 1 The first information led the posse to CPS Fifth Avenue, where l orders to open the door were ignored until, at the instruction of Deputy Marshal Jack Buckley, window | was smashed and an army tear gas bomb hurled inside. A few moments later a man identified as Spencer Schoonever came out with his hands up, and search of the premises disclosed Harold Ferguson in bed with the covers wrapped over his head.
 There was no sign of Karns, but Schoonever and Ferguson, who are being held as witnesses, told officers he had been there earlier.
 From there the search spread to Graehl where three places were searched without success. Later in formation led the officers to 1903 Second Avenue, where the arrest finally took place at about 10 a. m.
 Officers smashed the door open and caught Karns asleep in bed with a loaded 45-caliber automatic un- der his pillow. Officers said he ap- peared to have been drinking heavily and seemed to have trouble collect ing his senses as they surrounded him and snapped on the hand cuffs.
 At the time of his arrest, officers reported, Karns was carrying a social security card, selective ser vice card and a birth certificate, all made out in the name of Eugene Pipes" Clark. Clark is at present serving a sentence on McNeil Island for possession of stolen property.
 Several hours after he was lodged in the Federal jail, Karns made an attempt on his own life by slashing bis wrist with broken water glass. The cut was not deep enough to be dangerous, according to the Marsh- al's office.
