 arrived the same aay"
 No relatives are permitted t. view the landing operations O. board the hospital ship. TT ere would be entirely too much con fusion. emotional disturbances, and, possibly, setbacks in the pa- tient's condition.
 The unloading of the patients is carried through under the direc- ton of Brig. Gen. James T Duke, with speed and efficiency an au- tomobile assembly line might well envy.
 Three Patient Groups
 Before the ship has docked the patients have been divided into three groups and tag pinned on their khaki overeoats. The blue tag means a medical case who can usually walk, red tag a surgical case, and green tag a neuro- rsychiatric patient.
 In less than 10 minutes the urgent cases, which are usually the N. P. patients, are in the Stark General hospital under medical treatment and getting the most skilled attention. Everything moves quickly, amazingly, eff1ci- ently, and in a little more than two hours every patient is resting in the hospital.
 Most of the patients, even those lying helpless on stretcher, seem to have souvenirs of which they are jealously proud-a bayonet, turban, a knife, helmet.
 Frequently the accumulation is so large that in addition to the two litter bearers, another hos pital ship attendant must follow the stretcher carrying the souve- nirs. The soldier watches this at- tendant and if he gets separated from him, he raises cain.
 Nearly always the first ques- tion the soldier asks on reaching the Stark General is, Where's the telcphone?" The hospital staff knows where the wounded Joe is from and his request is promptly answered.
 Those who can walk are con dueted to booths where they can talk in private. For those in wheel chairs, or lying helpless in bed, a new type of telephone is handed them. It looks like a big cello plane box that is placed over the patients head.
 In this he can talk privately to his mother, his wife or his sweet heart without leaving his wheel chair or his bed. Even a soldier who has lost his arm can use this new phone with ease.
 The telephone company in Charleston is advised of the ar rival of hospital ship, and every effort is made to have the lines cleared for these calls. They are given precedence over all other telephone business.

 For the patient who can enjoy them there is a recreation room, Q library, sun decks and other fa- cilities, including a spotless, at tractive dining saloon. For the pa- tient who is bed ridden, the diet kitchen prepares attractive trays of specially cooked foods. By May of this year the Army Transportation Corps expects to have 20 ambulance-type hospital ships in operation, with a total ca pacity of more than 18,000 sick and wounded.
 The result of the operation of the hospital ships now in use has amazed the Medical Corps. Sea air, sun baths, good companionship, rest, good food-plus fine, gentle and skilled medical treatment have worked wonders for these pa tients. A quite surprising number have arrived virtually well.
 The historic city of Charleston, because of it's excellent port facili- ties and strategic location, has be- come the home base of Uncle Sam's magnificent fleet of hospital ships.

Central Press Correspondent


 CHARLESTON, S. c. Tn e sick and wounded of our armed forces are returning home. And they are coming home in Ameri- can ships-the finest ships of their kind to be found anywhere in the world.
 Many of these ships were fla mcus luxury liners of peacc-timc which have been converted into floating hospitals in American shipyards-s ships such as the Ital- ian greyhound, The Saturnia, with a speed of 19 knots and gross tonnage of 24,470.
 There are similar luxury liners which once belonged to Germany and France, which are now serving as hospital ships. Others were spe- cially built in this country.
 The Army Transportation Corps now operates P floating hospitals and the Navy has five. More are being built in this country at the rate of two month.
 They are built to bring youi husband, son or sweetheart back home in comfort and in better health than when he first arrived on a toaung hospital. They are fine. cheerful ships.
 A. typical hospital ship has 14.- 900 tons displacement and is 522 feet in length The exterior of the ship is painted a glistening white and the hulls and decks are bril- liantly illuminated at night
 No Weapons
 The Geneva Red Cross is prom inently displayed on the sides, on deck and on the stacks, and a five foot green band runs around the entire hull. There is not weapon aboard and hospital ships are giv- en protection by all civilized na- tions at war-so you do not have to worry about the ship getting through.
 On this typical ship there are 12 wards, completely equipped. Each has surgical dressing room, diet pantry, linen locker, utility room, toilet and shower.
 The main laboratory contains tho finest items of equipment such as high speed centrifuge, bacterio- logical incubator. autoclaves and other of the latest modern medical essentials.
 The doctors and Surgeons have an abundant supply of drugs and other items, many of which cannot be found in civilian life. Each ship carries a dental as well as an op-I tical unit.

WINCHESTER, Va, Sept. To-
DR.. w. S. Hough, director of the
Winchester Research Laboratory
here, believes that DDT, the new
wonder insecticide, may be the
answer to the fruit growers prayer
for an agent that will control the
codling moth-a harmless looking
insect that takes its yearly toll OF
apples.
Dr. Hough, who for the last &c
years has been working with vari-
Gus sprays in an effort to improve
methods of controlling the codling
moth, said ''DDT looks like it will
be the answer
Too Expensive Now.
Asserting, however, that DOT is
too expensive at the present time
for wide use by orchardists, DR.
Hough predicted that eventually
the price will come down to the
point that the insecticide will COM
pare in cost with lead arsenate, now
used extensively to control the moth.
I'VE have been using DDT in
tests now for two years, DR.. Hough
said. 1--WE find it highly effec-
tive, although there are certain
qualities that we still are looking
into. For example, we find that on
trees sprayed with DOT mites that
suck the chlorophil from leaves in
crease. We don't know yet if this
is because the DDT destroys enemy
insects, or if the insecticide causes
some physical change in the trees. -
DR.. Hough explained that spray
to control the codling moth is ap-
piled to trees in the dormant stage,
so that there would be no danger

of DDT destroying bees that poll
nate the orchards. He said that
DOT does not kill aphids or the
San Jese- scale, 3se other sprays still
would have to be used for these
pests.
tsE Has Meth Nursery. -
r. In supplying insects for tests on
the codli1ig moth, DR.. Hough oper-
ates regular moth nursery in a
small building near the laboratory
Here the moths, Kept in large glass
jars, lay their eggs on pieces OF
cellophane, which are then placed
in other jars containing apples
After Matching, the larvae eat their
way through the fruit, later emerg-
ing to weave cocoons from which
the adult moth emerges the fol-
lowing spring.
In the actual spray tests, apples
coated with various mixtures of
insecticides are hung in rows along
the ceiling. With each apple is a
piece of cellophane containing moth
egss, and as these hatch the fruit
is examined to determine just how
many moth larvae have been able
to penetrate into the apples.
With DDT, DR.. Hough said the
percentage of penetration is very
small, and he believes the chemical
could practically wipe out the moth
if its use becomes economically pos
sible.
At present costs, he said, DDT
stands at about $3.50 per 100 gal
lons of spray. against from 40 to so
cents per 100 gallons of lead arse
nate. While it is more effective, its
present expense makes its large
scale use prohibitive.
