Your Health
Accurate Diagnosis
Treatment of Back
Pains Advised

aims AuNlSeu
By HERMAN NJ. BUNDEsEN, NJ. &
BECAUSE Of the great number
of people engaged in industries,
and the need for keeping men ana
women at work, accurate diagnosis
and prompt treatment OF pain in
the lower part Of the back are
more important now than ever be-
fore. But first the cause Of the
back pain must be found If posi-
bic to do so.
Now, if the pain In the lower
part Of the back is accompanied by
pain in the leg, it may mean that
a condition known as q ruptured
intervertebral disc is present. The
intervertebral discs are pieces of
cartilage which are located be-
tween the small bones in the spine
and act as sort Of cushion be-
tween these bones.
Disc May Rupture
Occasionally, as a result OF IN.
jury or other causes, a disc may
rupture or get out Of position. II a
definite diagnosis of such condi-
ton is made, operative removal Of
the disc is usually advised to re-
lieve the backache.
There are many other causes for
backache and in trying to deter
mine the cause Of the patients
backache, a careful study should
be made Of his posture, the reac-
tons which occur when he bends
his back, raises his legs, straight.
ems up from lying down, or bends
backward. II the spine bends for
. ward too much with q sagging alb
domen, pain in the back may occur.
These posture difficulties can be
corrected with exercise and the use
of braces or casts, in certain in.
stances.
II, when the back is bent for
ward, there is some movement to
the side, it may indicate q sprain
Of the sacro-iliac joint. This Joint
is located between the lower part
of the spine and the hip. II the pa
tient cannot raise his legs straight
up when lying on his back, this
may also indicate q disturbance Of
the sacro-iliac joint, or of the lower
part Of the spine.
A special sign, known as the
Lasegue sign, is used to tell
whether the sciatic nerve, which
runs down the back Of the leg, is
affected. This sign is carried out
by having the patient lie on his
back with the thighs bent. While
the patient lies in this position, if
the leg cannot be Strengthened at
the knee, or il the movement is
painful, it indicates that the scia-
tic nerve is affected.
Posture Corrected
In treating low back pain, IL the
sciatic nerve is not affected, pos
ture difficulties should be cor
rected, exercise taken to strength
en- the muscles, and the back sup
ported with a belt or brace. The
application of heat by means of
hot baths or the electrical treat
ment known as radiothermy may
be helpful. Such drugs as the sal
icylates may also be helpful to re-
heve pain but these drugs should
be taken only on the advice Of the
doctor.
Many patients are more COM
Portable when moving about, but if
bed rest is needed, a hard mattress
should be provided. In any event,
the best treatment for low back
pain can only be carried out after
the cause is found.

evidently taken not to bomb near the palace, lest Hirohto be struck and the Japanese people be gal vanzed into redoubed fury in the war Whether this policy later was modified we do not know, although on one recent occasion certain outbuildings on the palace grounds struck by bombs from our high flying B-29s
 There is increasing reason to believe it would be good strategy to give the Emperors palace the works just as Allied forces the other day gave it to Adolf Htlers Alpine hideout Nothing could be more damaging to the carefully cultivated notion of al- powerful and semidivinity with which Hirohito is surrounded than an air attack reducing the palace to heap of rubble
 The Japanese militarsts would make what capital of it they could but if Hirohitos palace was blasted it would damage their symbol. We doubt if it would effectively increase Japanese fanaticsm in carrying on the war and it might, where all else would fail convince them they can't win.
 We'd like to see the experiment undertaken. After all if it doesn't work out so well can always send note around later to Tokyo saying, 50 sorry!"

GIVE TO THE SCOUTS

The brief campaign for funds to be used to support Girl Scout and Boy Scout activities in the Gastneau Channel area will end this week The goal is small S300O-but the good that the scouting activities ac complish is a great deal. So if you haven't given now's the time
 Money obtained will be invested only in providing local activities for the boys and girls of this area to keep up the camp that used during the summer months carry needed improvements, to pay for a cook and camp director.
 The scouting movement is large part of the answer the problem of juvenile delinquency. The boys girls occupied in scouting activities haven't the time or desire to be delinquent Having some thing to do" is the important thing
 In addition to providing activities for the boys and girls the scouting organizations have come in handy on numerous occasions and have been ot real service on the home front during the war
 Juneau is getting good name for conducting a good scouting program We hope the $3,000 and more will be contributed before the week is up.

 HEART AND HOME
 There is a sign impelling women to bestow clothing on needy war vic tins and their generosity will cause much shopping to replace what has been given away.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 All signs seem to presage an early postwar period of tremendous busi- ness achievement. Factories are to be reconverted with astonishing speed and returning Servicemen in great numbers will be employed.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 States east and west will preach economy and will attempt to reduce costs of government. Laxities in the administration of public affairs will be corrected and overlapping de- partments will be eliminated.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 According to astrology, the most thorough defeat of the Axis is in- evitable There is sign that seems to presage a desperate last attempt to delay final victory of the United Nations
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of fair success but there may be desire to take toe many financial risks.
 Children born on this day probab- ] ly will be strong in physique and in- tense in emotions. They will seek material success and prosper from an early age.

 Joshua Powers, publlsher-expert on Latin America, estimates that the per capita wealth of Washing ton, Oregon and California IS S1 800. Also he estimates that the wealth of the II million people living in these three western states is one billion dollars more than the wealth of all the 133 million people in the 20 other American Republics. That gives you some idea of our western economic strength com pared with Latin America-1l mil lion people wealthier than 133 mil lion.

Regional Employment
(NeW York TimeS)

(New York Times
 During the war the proportion of the labor force employed in the Northeast has declined slightly while gains have taken place in the South and Far West. However despite large-scale migration, there has been major redistribution of the aborforce These conclusions emerge from analysis prepared oy pr Elmer c. Bratt of the United States Department or Commerce In this study the percentage distribu- tion of non-a agricultural enjoyment in 1859 and Tn May 1914 is compared by States. In the twenty States in which the increase was greater than the national average their relative proportion of the total work force was increased by only 36 per cent. This small overall change shows that the gain III employ ment was fairly well distributed
 One of Dr. Bratts conclusions has an important bearing on postwar employment policy:
 The problems of postwar unemployment
 cannot be solved by moving people to other
 parts of the country where job opportunities
 await them Because the expansion has oc- cured in almost all areas, parts Of the country will act a vacuum to absorb excess workers from production centers until
 the national output of non-war goods and services substantially exceeds the pre-war level .
 It is undoubtedly true that only high level of national production prevent postwar unempoy- ment There are however, number of areas which have had an unbalanced wartime expansion because of heavy concentration of shipbuildng and aircraft manufacturing Thus, for example the increase In the number of shipbuildng workers in the San Fran cisco and Jacksonville was greater than the total number of manufacturing workers in those areas be- fore the war In other cases towns have expanded under the stimulus of nearby cantonments and plants such as ammunition loading plants and others difficult to reconvert to peacetime production
 While Dr. Bratt recognizes these regional prob- lems he suggests that they may be of small importance because there is little doubt that workers will mi grate to where there jobs," if high level of output is attained Many workers will probably return to their home towns and the wartime migration will be reversed in part regional exchanges of in- formation concerning employment opportunities and retrainine programs may be desirable.

Stassen went on to point out that there was considerable Justl- fication for the American view, even if he didn't agree with it en- tirely himself. He said that if there were no arguments, there was no use holding a conference.
 Stettiius then said he thought Stassens statement of the situa- tion was so good that he ought to 20 on the air and sent 1t publicly.
 Jimmy Dunn next protested that the Russians were holding up the conference by refusing to permit Argentina to take the chairmanshlp of a conference subcommittee. He launched into vigorous anti Soviet tirade, paying his respects to the Russians in no uncertain terms.
 Rockefeller endorsed Dunn's idea about giving Argentina a place on a conference committee.
 Its terribly important that we treat Argentina as well as anyone else he said.
 T agree with Dunn and Rocke- feller,' chimed in Michigan's Sen- ator Vandenberg, now that we've invited them we've got to treat them right"
 But Stassen said he couldn't gt along with Dunn, Rockefeller ol Vandenberg.
 Its bad enough said Stassen that we let them in without giy- ing them any honors."
 Well" was Vandenberg's retort anything that Rockefeller want' is o. K"
 Dunn suggested that the U. s delegation should slip Argentina into the first committee vacancy they found, but Stettinius de murred.
 I've gotten into trouble enough over Argentina already" observed the harassed Secretary of State.
 Note-Senator Vandenberg ha consistently advocated a strong blot of American Republics which ar' anti-Soviet, even though pro Fascist. Argentina observed Hitler racial laws and put hundreds il jail for political reasons
