Lost RATION BOOKS

Citizens of the United States
appear to be losing their ration
books at a great rate. In New
York City alone they are tossing
them ava y-unwittingIy. Of
course-at the rate of 400 day;
and the national Office of Price
Administration. who invented the
books, has not even tried to keep
track of losses throughout the
country.

important little book was not de-

creased with woeful ease. The
stamps are inadequately perfo-
rated and too small anyway to be
handled successfully by any but
the most dextrous.
Whoever designed the ration
book had no American precedent,
and perhaps had no thought that
his design would have to last as
long as it has. Aud since he was
probably a mere man, he cer-
tainly had no conception of the

RAILROADS DESERVING

The American railroads, which

times in the past, are doing an
outstanding job under very diff.
cult wartime handicaps.
transportation of vital " a r
materials to key points through
out the nation has been handled
with precision and speed which
warrant little criticism and much
praise. One chapter in this story
shows that more than 80 per cent
of the freight cars received in
the New England area alone are
unloaded within 48 hours after

American Red Cross will appear in the
windows of American homes, symbolic.

that organization to American fighting
men overseas.
In every nation of the world, this red
cross has long been the symbol of uni

and in time of war. Today it is worn
by medical corpsmen of all armies and
navies serving the wounded. 1t pro-

Seckinger Reports
Second Consecutive
|nfanti|e Epidemic

LIE OlSLIlCL apparently Is nov
IN its second consecutive infantil,
paralysis epidemic, DR.. Daniel L
Seckinger, acting superintendent O.
Gallinger Municipal Hospital, ha,
reported to the Commissioners.
DR.. Seckinger said today he wa,
trying to arrange meeting for tn.
near future with health officials ir
the Metropolitan Area and the loca
chapter of the National Foundation
for Infantile Paralysis. A spokes-
man for the chapter, which met
Tuesday, said that a special nurse
had been assigned to a Gallinger
case.
DR.. Seckinger said that he did
not expect widespread epidemic
like last year and that he did not
want to alarm parents. He de-
clared, however, that health officials
wished to prepare themselves for
cases that developed.
Successive Outbreaks Abnormal.
Earlier this week, DR.. James G
Cumming. chief of the Bureau of
Preventable Diseases, said that out
breaks do not normally occur in
successive years.
Last year it was not until 120 cases
had been recorded in the District
from July to August Is that
Health Officer George c. Ruhland
admitted there was an epidemic
Prior to that, health officials de.
clared repeatedly that they saw nc
cause for alarm and said that the
number of cases had not reached
alarming proportions.
DR.. Seckinger said his hospital has
admitted two new cases in the past
two weeks. The health department
reported the fifth District infantile
paralysis case with the admission OF
a 6-year-old boy to Childrens Hos
pital. The victim is from the 140O
block of Fort Dupont street Sc.
Told to Concentrate Care.
In an order yesterday, the Com
miSsioners instructed DR.. Seckinger
ito concentrate the hospital care of
these cases at Children's Hospital
and Gallinger, for the reason that
such concentration would save the
much needed manpoWer as repre-
sented in physicians, nurses and
other hospital attendants"
Children's Hospital, the Commis-
sioners said, should take on such
out-of town cases as might be
brought to the District and Gal
linger Hospital facilities should be
reserved for the overflow of cases
and for such type of polio cases that
need the use of the respirator. Only
cases from the Metropolitan Area
are to be admitted to the use of this
facility
One Victim From Arlington.
DR.. Seckinger said he wished te
have the Commissioners pass or
the question of admitting nonresi-
dents to Gallinger. One victim al
Gallinger is a 38-year- -old man from
Arlington County, Va, because there
are no isolation facilities there as
required by the Virginia Health De-
partment.
Last year the District had 1896
cases in the Metropolitan Area and
is deaths. OF these, 1874 victims
were from the District, II of which
died.
In addition to the case reported
yesterday, others reported this week
include a 6-year-old girl from Silver
Spring, an l8-year-old girl from the
4400 block of Quarles street NE,
q 9-year-old colored girl from
the $500 block of Georgia avenue
NV, and a 4-year-old boy from
Morningside, Md. Gases recorded
previously were of 5-year-old boy
from the 1900 block of Sixteenth
street NV. and a 12-year-old girl
from the 1900 block of Nineteenth
street NV.
