time Is the prevention OF pres
sure sores, or bed-sores.
An old person, or one who Is
suffering from q chronic illness.
Is particularly prone to develop
pressure sores because he may
be poorly nourished, have poor
circulation, and his vitality in
general Is low. Under these cir
cumstances. continued pressure
on a bony point interferes with
the circulation of blood in that
area and the tissues soon deteri-
crate. Any slight irritation may
cause a break in the skin that
fails to heal, and a pressure sore
develops.
The parts of the body that
need special protection and care
full watching are the hip bones,
the end of the spine, the shoulder
blades, ribs, elbows, knee and
ankle bones, the heels, and even
the ears.
The most effective preventive
measures are to relieve the pres
sure from the exposed parts, to
keep the skin clean and dry, and
to keep the bed free from wrink-
les and crumbs. Care also must
be observed to avoid irritating
the skin when placing or remov-
ing the bed pan.
RING OF RELIEF
A rubber pressure ring that
can be inflated with air can be
bought at the drugstore. When
placed under the part of the
body where the greatest weight
falls, it provides excellent pro-
lection for larger areas such as
hips, ribs and shoulders, but 1t is
not much help for small points
like elbows, heels and ears.
A pressure ring may be made
from a stocking by filling it with
cotton and bringing the ends to.
gether to form a ring of the de-
sired size. The surplus should be
cut off and the ends sewed neatly
and smoothly together.
A simple way to make small
ring for elbow, heel or ear is to
roll silk Or rayon stocking from
top to heel. Cut off the foot and
haste the cut edge loosely to the
ring, being careful to leave no
roughness that might be irrita-
ting.

the fascination that exact-scale

For Zhukov learned long ago
that model-building pays. When
he was called upon to smash
Finland's famed Mannerheim
Line, he built full-scale fac

Painstakingly, thoroughly, he
searched for flaws and found
them. With the help Of heavy
artillery and specially trained
shock troops, he made rubble OF
the Mannerheim defense system.
Blitzkrieg Is q German word,
but it's a misnomer. The Rus
sian language really deserves
the name for lightning war, and
Marshal Zhukov deserves credit
for introducing it. Some weeks
before the Germans smashed in
to Poland, he gave the Japs a
bitter taste Of modern mobile
warfare.

SURRENDER OF
 JAPAN MUST BE
 BY FORGE ONLY

GLENS FALLS, N. Y, July l4.-- Undersecretary of War Robert P Patterson says that Japan's surren- der will have to be exacted by force
 In an address before the Warren County Bankers Association, of Glens Falls, New York, Patterson declar- ed that the main Japanese armies are intact, and the Jap soldier is still just as willing to fight it out to the end as he was three years age when he was winning.
 Pointing out that Japan remains a formidable enemy, Patterson warn- ed that we must be prepared to win our war with Japan the hard way killing Nipponese soldiers right through the ruins of Tokyo and throughout the home islands.
 The Japanese are fighting pro- gressively smarter war, said the Undersecretary of War. And from now on the fighting will be in a country favoring the defender.

 Notes Exchanged
 The State Department action, bringing the United States govern ment close to an apology to the Japanese, was disclosed with re- lease of an exchange of notes be- tween Tokyo and Washington, handled through the Swiss govern ment.
 One admitting responsibility for the sinking was in response to a Japanese demand of May 16 for a formal apology. The American note said the United States had already officially expressed its deep re- gret' but officials conceded that they were making every reasonable effort to make amends for the mis- hap.
 No Desperate Attack
 To this end three specific steps were taken.
 The Japanese were informed of the circumstances under which the ship was sunk-how it was tor pedoed by instruments during a fog and not even seen by the sub marine commander Nevertheless, the note said that since the ship had been expected in the vicinity at that time he should have iden- tified it before attacking But the Japanese charge that the attack was willful and deliberate" was wig orously denied.

The United States formally agreed to take up the question oi idemnity for the loss of life, shir and cargo but suggested that dis cussion on indemnity be deferred until after the war.

! SERVICE WOMEN IN ALA5kA SCHEME
 S0LDIERS' TREAT

HEADQUARTERS, SKAN DEPARTMENT Soldiers travelling throughout the world by air will soon benefit by an idea of two serv- ice women stationed in She North. Both hospital planes and regular transports will soon be carrying Air Evacuation Recreational Kits" con- verted travelling bags which are now filled with various games, magazines, etc, placed aboard aircraft in AL aska, Canada, and the Aleutians. It. Mary Newbeck, Detroit, Michi- gan. an Army Flight Nurse. and Miss Rosalia Caffarena. Oakland, California, Red Cross girl station cd in Fairbanks, Alaska, were the two women who thought of the new idea. MT. Andy Flagg, of Boston, Mass, Red Cross Field Director was promoter for the project. He drew plans for mass production, and arranged for the procurement of magazines and late newspapers from various sources.
 ! When the plan was first put into effect, it was experimental. One bag was made and loaded on a CAT transport. Once the monotonous journey-this one from Fairbanks to Minnesota was started, the pilot brought out the bag, explained it's contents, but didn't distribute any thing. Instead, he merely set it on the cabin floor, and returned to his cockpit. Half-an -hour later, he re- turned to see everyone busy, either playing cards, checkers, or dominos, or catching up on the latest news from editions of U. s. newspapers.
 Returning to Fairbanks, he made his report to the two young women. They made some adjustments with the contents of the bag, and con- tacted the Red Cross Director in charge of the Territory, who pro- ceeded to meet with various high ranking officers. for approval of the project.
 The Army Transport Command, Alaska Division, made the initial order, requesting 1000 of the new kits-plans called for one on each plane. Other theatres, as they learn of the idea, are ordering bags, and it is hoped that within a few weeks, no. soldier will have to face long, cold hours of flying with nothing to do.
 Reason for amusement b board d Army planes is two-fold. First, be- cause the Bucket seat" type plane is used widely-this type of seating arrangement means passengers can not see out the windows, and have little to do but sit and stare at each ether; Second, because magazines, games and newspapers are avail able only in small quantity in or ganizations stationed overseas and returning soldiers prefer doing noth- ing, rather than deprive fellow GIs.
