Good Evening.

Pacific Notebook (No 13). The rain beat down through the cold air. it had for days past Most of southern Okinawa dirty brown lake, in which tanks stood helpless What left of the roads bad that even the ubiquitous eep helpless and heavy sxbysxes stalled everywhere In the foxholes and the bomb shelters all mud and water and gnaWlng cold Skin of feet and hands wrnkled into folds from immersion. It in the lines before Mana and Shurl key to the Jap defenses and shells from Nip guns landed steadily Now and then the characteristic chatter of enemy machine guns nterspersed with rifle ire The shsh-shsh sound of Jap mortar shells through the ar followed by the muddeadened explosion or perhaps cry from the wounded. runner crawled through the slime to command post and reported: Its all over in Europe The Germans have surrendered. Unshaven faces stayed stiff and grim the word was passed along Men Oknawa had too many concerns ot their own to have time rejoice the end of the European war. Just few hundred yards back from advance patrol position got radio r1gged up. They're celebrating wildly in New York and all the United States. They're celebrating in London and in Moscow The people have gone wild!
 None of the listeners said word until said quiet ly Shut that blasted thing off, But other field radios had taken the refrain by this tme Germany has sur rendered. What ceIebration" Corpsmen still crept out to minister to the wounded ambuances still snaked their way wherever the terrain seemed to offer any traction Artillery and mortar shells from Jap guns still fell, and the casualty lists went Marines took minute to rip open their ration they lay there in their sodden dungarees and poncho then ate without appetite Four lads bearing stretcher stopped their way patch of country pausing several times when shell bursts came too near then moving again. One nfantryman with grenade raised in throwing postion slipped down silently and with tragic fnalty into the mud Jap machine gun opened up from inside haf-runed tomb. From fresh-faced messenger, unique without the universal coating of mud and desperation to shout again: "Hey, it's in Europe. Did you guys know that? The silence and the hatred-fed glances all the answer he needed, and he went away. The guns still roared the blood still flowed. The air stayed fod and the rain kept pouring down without pause. So It was on Okinawa on VIE Day, just year ago.

usherette in a theater, were re- leased by a smiling judge who de- clared such action was not an in- suit.
 The judge understands the feminine mind and heart. While a girl may toss her head or stick her nose in the air in pretended scorn of anything as vulgar as an appreciative whistle from a mas culine admirer, it really is not an unpleasant sound to feminine ears.
 A girl may not endores the manner of strange young man who gives a low whistle when she walks by. But the chance en- counter gives her the nice, com- fortable feeling that she looks as well as she thought she did in her new spring outfit.
 A MEASURING TRIBUTE
 Or, If she is well out of the bobby sox class, the whistle that applauds ner is heart lifting reinsurance thata she is still young enough to bring out the worst in men
 So, while women may pretend they hate to be whistled at are almost forced, in fact, to pretend to be malignant about 1t = they aren't really insulted.
 If the truth were ever admitted by the fair sex, it would probably be found that the wolf whistle of the young man of today does as much to build up girls morale as did the hand-kiss of an age long past.

IODINE AND ADENoID T1ssUl

IODINE AND ADENOID TISSUE
 Doctors fifty to a hundred years ago generally regarded iodine and iodides as "alteratives" and pre- scribed them pretty freely in cases of "scrofula" and. enlarged lymph nodes ("kernels") on the sides of the neck. What they called scrofula is called tuberculous lymphadenitis today-that is, inflammation, en- largment, swelling, sometimes soft ening or suppuration of lymph nodes on the side. of the neck, due to tuberculosis.
 It is still anybody's guess what an "alterative' is. The old timers imagined certain medicines changed the morbid condition for the better and they conceived the term "alter- ative" to describe such medicines or their effect.
 But nowadays we are less credu- lous. No real doctor today imagines that sasaparilla, for example, has any medicinal value as an altera- tive or in any other way. Indeed, few laymen now believe sasaparilla is anything more than 8 flavor.
 The medical schools still taught that iron iodide was good medicine for youngsters with kernels" in the neck, enlarged tonsils, adenoids and undue susceptibility to respira- tory infections ("colds" to you, stupid,) when I was a young doctor. A great many kids with such con- ditions had to take syrup of iron iodide-a nasty dose to take, and now, happily, it is seldom pre- scribed.
 Every child with enlarged tonsils and/or adenodiS should receive a suitbale iodine ration, but doubt that iodine or iodide in medicinal doses is of any value in the treat ment of either enlarged tonsils and/or adenoidS or kernels or enlarged, inflamed or suppurating lymph nodes nj the neck.
 The reader should not confuse swelling or enlargement of lymph nodes, commonly called glands" |" in the sides of the neck or under tue GQge OI Cne JaWDOue W1Cn gOlCIe, swelling of the thyroid gland in the middle of the neck just above the breastbone.
 Please understand, it is just my opinion that iodine or iodides have no value in the treatment of these tonSil, adenoid and lymph-node conditions. Bettar doctors than I may not share this opinion. So, if the patient were my child and the doctor prescribed or used iodine or iodide in treatment of tonsils, ade- holds or kernels" in the neck, I'd keep my trap closed, for at any rate don't believe there is any possible harm in trying it.
 On the other hand, iodine or io- dide is the best known remedy for large neck" goitre- can't advise what kind, how much or when to use it-that of course, is a ques- tion which calls for the judgment |

QUESTIONS and ANSWERS Mother Is Almost Right

Discussing methods of obtaining vitaminS, minerals and the com parative value of foods and medi- cines mother said person deficient in iron can get enough iron by putting several nails in glass of water and then drinking the water after it has become rusty. (M.. .J.)
 AnSwer-I don't know mother may be right. If the water tastes metallic no doubt some iron oxide or hydrate (ruSt) is dissolved in it. That would be plenty of iron-the body requires less than one-fourth of grain of iron day-as much as you get in, say dish of stewed prunes, one-half head of lettuce, yolks of two eggs, or a serving of beer. Makes no difference whether the iron is mineral or vegetable or animal, organic or inorganic.

Going Places?-Foreign travel during the Summer season is threatened by the lack of ship space In view of the fact that many of the prewar liners taken over by the and rebuilt for Army transports the difficulty confronting the tourist lines not hard to understand With the end of the lack of necessary materials and strikes have delayed progress in prepar ing ships for the service for which they had been toned before the However this does not mean an entire suspension of the tourist business lines sufficiently equipped to offer accommodations sired particularly for travel to the Central South American countries If this summer that trip you want ed to take doesn't pan out remember that the National Federation of American Shipping holds the prospect that great improvement will be reached in securing de- sirable accommodations by next Fall

 ON BRIDGE
By WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY America,a Card Authority

With the increased speed of air travel, I hope that we will soon have some international competition in our bridge tournaments. It would b. a pleasure to meet Dr. Paul Stern of London, who has sent us some very fine hands that have ap- peared in this column.
 Todsy's hand is from Dr. Stern, who says that Sergt. Charles Brech- CT of Chicago, once a pupil of his in Vienna, made five no trump in the South position; and three no trump in the West position was made by Robert Gill of Baltimore, Md, who recently was promoted to the rank of brigadier-general.
 General Gill is a past president of the American Contract Bridge League. He is serving at the war trials at Nuremberg.
