War Brings Increase in
Cases of Scalp Ringworm

A highly contagious disease, ring
worm of the scalp, is spread
ing through the schools of the coun-
try. Stephen Rothman, M. D., writ
ing in Hygeia, the Health Magazine,
says that it is apparently associated
with many factors related to the
war, such as crowding, increased
travel and neglect resulting from in
creased employment.
England and France have had re-
curing epidemics Of this disease for
centuries and after the First World
war epidemics also invaded central
Europe, DR.. Rothman said, adding:
1t was rarely seen in the United
States, even in the largest clinics
for skin diseases. A sudden spread
was first observed in New York City
in l943. By now a persistent and con-
tlnulng increase of the disease is
noted n many American cities"
The scalp infection spreads in
schools. orphanages, asylums and
camps and at any other place where
children congregate in numbers.
The great mass of infected persons
consist of grammar school children
up to the age of IA. In any epidemic,
the infection is much more common
In boys than in girls. In children be-
low school age, the disease is
rarely seen because Of a lesser op-
portunity Of contact.
The infection is spread by direct
contact and by the handling of con-
taminated objects. Children easily
convey the disease by hand and
body contact. Loose infected hairs
may also fall out and be carried in
the air. Such objects as combs,
brushes, hats and caps are impor-
tam carriers of the disease. Lately.
evidence has been presented that in
lection may also occur from contact
OF the scalp with the back of the
alter seats which were previously
contaminated by infected children.

BEEF:
Grass Fed

Cattle fattened on grass in Okla
homa and Kansas are beginning to
enter the markets in stable num-
bers. About $50, 900 head have been
put to Craze on the blue stem grass
lands. 1t is expected that the steers
will gain from 200 to $50 pounds on
the green feed.
Ordinarily beef from the grass
country rates as B grade or worse.
Animals that would come up to A
grade if finished on corn are being
grass fed because of the scarcity of
grain. Commission men think the
grassy beef will sell for IS to IA cents

CHARTER:
MOues Along

The United Nations charter, meet
ing with almost no opposition before
the senate foreign relations commit
tee, went to the senate for what is
said to be certain acceptance
without notifications. The commit
tee ended its sessions by a parade
of supporters of the charter, after
listening to a few individual out
spoken opponents.
Final witnesses before the com
mittee included Philip Murray, pres
ident of the CLIO and William G..
Carr, president of the National Edu-
cation association as well as Nor
man Thomas, Socialist party leader.
The speed with which the charter
has been handled indicates that
the United States will become the
first nation to officially approve
the charter or to pass on it in any
form.

POINTS:

Eighty-five points doesn't neces-
sarily mean immediate release from
the army. as all soldiers know. The
trouble is, their families don't real
ize the catch. Thousands of men
who have served long and valiantly
are classed as Essential" and are
being held indefinitely. In many
cases they are having a hard time
explaining to their wives just why
they aren't coming home soon.
One captain stationed in Germany
with an occupation unit has 127
points. His wife is so sure that he
could return to the states if he
wanted to that she is threatening
divorce. She thinks that he wants to
stay because he has fallen for
some German woman. Chaplains

am prepared to prove this state
ment with authentic figures. Only
'one state has less income per per-
son than Arkansas, provides less
school money per student and
pays its teachers less; that's Mis-
sissippi. If these states can do
well without help, SO can any of
the other states.
Poor as these two states are.
on a basis of income per capita,
each of them has more net worth
than the federal government.
Our national debt probably will
reach 300 billion dollars before
the war is over. Mississippi had
a cash surplus of IL million dol
lars last year and Arkansas ac-
cumulated IS million during re-
cent years. Arkansas schools are
inadequate due to politics, not
poverty.

About a year ago there were LOG
school districts in Arkansas with
less than ten pupils apiece. There
were $50 districts with assessed
valuations below $4,000. Some
districts couldn't raise 500 q
year from local taxes. School
districts varied in size from one
square mile to 100 square miles.

Ironing RayOn

Ironing technique for rayons is Of
vital interest to homemakers, since
the uses Of rayon and its acceptance
as one of the basic textile fbers
for all types of clothing, as well as
for many household uses, are con-
stantly increasing. Avoid ironing
rayon when it is too wet, because
this dries the fabric too suddenly.
causing hard and sharp lines at the
hem, collar and cuffs. It also causes
stretching and f1attening of the
fabric and sometimes a rippled hem.
Iron rayon on the wrong side to pre-
serve the surface texture of the
fabric and avoid iron shine. Iron
shine appears more quickly on dark
rayon than on light rayor

AUTOS:
Ration Free?

More autos will be available to
the public by March 81 than origi-
nally planned-at least enough to
bring announcement from Henry P.
Nelson of the War Prediction board
that they would be ration-free.
They will still be hard to get how
ever due to a serious shortage OF
tin. The present quotas called for
some $50. 900 new cars by next
March 81, which is not much more
than 10 per cent of the market de-
mands. Thus while cars may be
placed on ration-free lists, little hope
is held out that many will be able
to secure the family car they have
been saving for.

Centre at Kellom school. Here chill
dren of working mothers are cared for
from $50 in the morning until $50 in
the evening.
Under the direction of Miss Cura
Sailors, physical education teacher, a
staff Of trained workers conduct a
program Of music, handwork, games,
stories and outdoor play. A SubStan-
tial hot lunch is served at noon, ex-
pertly prepared by Mrs. Lucia Pres
ton. Fruit juice is served in mid
morning, and milk and crackers fol-
lowing the afternoon nap. This nap is
taken on folding cots in a cool, airy
room.
Two adults are in charge at all
times, and the children are super
vised in all activities. All this is OBJ

$500 per week for each child.

Interested in Parity

BY congressional action, however,
farmers have been guaranteed a
price for their products. or most OF
them, at 80 per cent of parity for
two years after the end Of the war
and Mr.. Anderson is particularly in
terested in adequate support prices
to maintain this price. Furthermore,
support prices are not costing the
government anything at this time,
since prices of commodities are well
above the prices set. 1t is only when
commodity prices start falling for
any reason. that the support price
will hold the farmer up from ruin
ous prices.
Anderson is not anticipating any
huge SURPRISES, but nevertheless he
is taking no chances on the so-called
reconversion period when army and
other huge government buyers start
cut-backs in food purchases. For
this reason he is now starting con-
versations seeking to taper off,
rather than cutoff. army purchases,
and lend lease.
Consumer subsidies, he looks
upon as temporary expediencies,
and very temporary at that. He
is not in favor of such subsidies
as a governmental policy in
peacetime.

Long Range Program Too

And while Anderson is immediate
ly concerned with the production of
foodstuffs for the war period, he has
not lost sight Of the l%ong-range pro-
gram to which the farmer is looking
for the postwar years. Mr.. An
derson will be secretary of agricul-
ture for the next 3h years. There
is a probability that 2H and maybe
more. of those years will be postwar
years. At any rate, with his char
%acteristic thoroughness, he already
has a committee of agricultural ex-
perts at work studying basic agri-
cultural problems with the idea Of
bringing forth a set of recommended
tons for the postwar period.
This reporter would say, after
an interview with MIR. Anderson,
and a study of his work in con-
gress, that the new secretary has
his feet solidly on the ground,
that he is not given to going off
half-cocked, that he studies ev-
cry side of a question and that
once his mind is made up he
will S every resource and all
his ability to carry through his
program.
While he would not commit him
self as to the Triple A program, he
did say that the Triple A program,
with the exception Of soil c~onserva-
ton. had been pretty well laid on
the shelf during these war years
and for the postwar period he indi-
Gated that the crop adjustment pro-
gram would have to be analysed
thoroughly and that he already had
a committee at work doing just that.
