"A y Aides Are Needed
- JO0 ~ Dc 1OII0 At D. c. Hospitals
. whs mt t. the Postwar rPrblems
An Appeal to Those Who '

A hospital nurse moves swiftly
from room to room. There's no time
to make the patients comfortable,
no time to do anything but give
the. medication the doctor has or
dered. On that hospital floor at
that particular moment, the nurse
is alone.
Patients must be bathed. Clean
sheets must be put on their beds.
There's nothing like q wrinkled
sheet to make hospital bed un-
comfortable. Temperatures must be
taken. Patients must be fed.
A hurry call goes to the Red
Gross nurses aide ONCE In the hos
pital. Can you send help?
THE hospitals ate asking for
more help than we can possibly give
Them" reported Red Cross ON
cial. They tell us that without the
nurses aides, the patients literally
would not get ordinary bedside
care-what you expect to get when
you go to hospital.
Situation Worse Now.
They say their nurses are actu-
ally giving less than half the nursing
care required by nursing standards.
They say they can't get nurses-that
the situation now is more critical
than at any time during the war.
1--WE checked on it ourselves to-
day. We called a surgical clinic.
A nurses aide answered the phone
She said the other phones were
ringing, too, that five patients were
waiting. The nurse on duty had no
relief. She finally had gone to
lunch.
1--WE called the medical floor of a
hospital. The graduate nurse was
supposed to have two student
nurses helping her but both were
OF sick. We were able to send two
nurses aides.
I'VE talked to a nurse who said,
How would you like to work IL
hours, catch some sleep and then
wake up still exhausted to find you
had to give 50 baths with no one to
help you?'"

Bombsight Ball Bearings

BY the Assoeioted Press

PHILADELPHIA, Mar. 22.-SKF
Industries, Inc, announced today
that it began-under secret Gov
ernment orders-the manufacture
of special ball bearings for the Nor
den bombsight in 1929.
S. F. Woolmar, executive vice
president of the firm, said the Lans-
dale pa plant produced ball bear
ings for the bombsight so small they
could be oiled only with hyper
dermic needles.
These precision bearings had to
be made with the utmost secrecy -
Mr. Woolmar said. Machine tools
had to be designed and workers
trained to operate them - .
and only now do all our employees
know of this part of our war pro-
duction begun II years ago." ...

DIABETES

When we read about people who
lived in the Middle Ages and come
across q description of the meals
which were served then, sometimes
we are shocked at the quantity of
food that the well-to-do consumed.
perhaps we should remember, how
ever, that people were more active
in those days than they are today.
Some of the diseases which people
have today may be traced, in part, to
their failure to tdjust their eating
habits to the lives they lead. One of
the reasons that diabetes has become
more common in recent years may be
that people are eating too much
rich food while living rather seden-
tary lives. Tkis, of course, is not the
only explanation for the greater
prevalence of diabetes but it is I'M
doubtedly one of the factors involv-
ed
Diabetes is due to an over-abun-
dance of sugar in the blood. The body
requires sugar for heat and energy
and it obtains this sugar from carbo-
hydrates-such foods as sweets,
bread, cereals, potatoes, macaroni
and spaghetti.
If more sugar is consumed than
the body can use, the rest is stored
away or turns to fat. Conversion of
sugar into heat and energy is made
possible by a secretion in the blood
stream called insulin, which is man
ufactured by cells in the pancreas. If
anything interferes with the flow of
insulin, the body is unable to use the
sugar consumed from carbohydrates
and diabetes results.
Early symptoms of diabetes are
constant thirst and hunger, even
though a normal amount of food is
eaten, loss of weight for no apparent
reason and spells of weakness and
dizziness.
If these symptoms are present, the
individual should consult a doctor
Immediately He will make urinaly-
sis and test the blood for sugar con-
tent. The earlier diabetes is discov-
cred the easier it is to control it.
The diabetic patient should be on
special diet as recommended by a
doctor Indiscriminate cutting down
on carbohydrates is not sufficient to
control the disease. The patient
should be under medical care. Often
the diabetic must take injections of
insulin, made from the pancreas of
certain animals, to supply the def
cheney in his own blood. Insulin nei-
Their cures nor prevents diabetes. 1t
is an aid in controlling the disease
and should be used only as the doctor
advises.
Any infection may have serious
consequences for the diabetic. 1t is
of the utmost Importance, theefrore,
that extreme precaution be exercised
to avoid infection or, in the case of
even small cut, to consult ply
sician.

TO VACATIONISTS

with the whole country literally
burning up with vacation fever says
keystone Automobile Club, "some
plain talk is indicated if keen disap-
pointment and even actual hardship
are to be avoided by automobile tour
lists this summer"
William J. Merrell, Manager of the
Club in Maryland, said there is un-
precedented scarcity of all classes
of accommodation in virtually every
section of the country.
'It must be emphasized, he de-
clared, that the demand for hotetl
and other accommodations far exceed
the available rooms. Under these un-
precedented conditions, it is impera-
tive for vacationers to plan their
itinerary at least a month in ad-
vance-and even then there is no as
surance that everything will work
out as planned.
"Our Touring Bureau reports that
Montreal and Quebec are sold out at
least six weeks in advance. New Eng
gland coastal resorts won't even
look at a request for reservations
less than five weeks in advance. The
Park areas in the West are solidly
booked. Only in the South are accom-
modations fairly adequate. The POGO
nos require at least three weeks mo-
tice and as many of the hotels there
are operating on weekly basis, the
chance for transients getting accom-
modations is very slim.
Tourist homes and motels like
wise are doing big business. They
mostly require deposit in full when
the reservation is made. About the
only safe course for the traveller with
out reservations is to contact one of
the group between 4:3O and $3.50 in
the afternoon. No longer is it safe to
drive until shutdown and take a
chance on finding sleeping place"

SURVEYS INDICATE CONSUMERS
PREFER QUALIYT SWEETS"

Mayrlands $500 sweet potato
growers will get a higher return
from their crop provided they pay
more attention to grading and ship
only top-quality sweets" to market,
a cooperative college-industry mar
keting survey has revealed.
Undertaken to determine consum-
er reference and to help growers in
their efforts to develop more efficient
marketing practices, the survey was
conducted by Arp Food Stores in CO.
operation with Prof. ]. M. Baker,
marketing economist of Louisiana
State University and representatives
of the Louisiana State Marketing
Commission. The tests were made in
Chicago and in several Louisiana
cities.
Marketing only the number one
grade is the most profitable method
of disposing of sweet potatoes, es-
pecially that portion going into the
fresh sweet potato market" Prof.
Baker said. eOur survey definitely
determined that it is a considerable
waste of shipping space and waste
Of time for the sweet potato grower
to ship the number two grade to mar
ket."
The study revealed that S7.5 per
cent of the shoppers purchased the
U. S. Grade No. /, which sold at
considerably higher price than infer
ior grades. Results of the survey,
one of series of cooperative pro-
jects undertaken by the food chain to
aid growers in the development of
more efficient marketing methods, CO.
incide with previous studies showing
that top-grade sweets outsell other
grades by a four-to-one margin.
Maryland, with $500 acres plant
ed to sweet potatoes which produce
more tEan 100000 bushels annually
is one of the major sweet potato pro-
ducing states in the country.

A FARM PROGRAM

The American Petroleum Institute
believes it has launched one of its
important efforts in a newly formed
Agricultural Development Committee
designed to provide means of liai-
son and cooperation between two OF
the nations largest and most essen
tial industries.
The oil industry has great wealth
of products and services to offer the
farmer. 1t supplies him much of the
fuel that powers his farm, heats his
home, and takes him to and from
markets over many oil-base roads. 1t
supplies chemicals and fertilizers
fruit ripeners and insecticides, and
many other new materials and meth
DDS that improve his product.
Citing these things, President Will
liam R. Boyd, Jr., of the Institute,
told oil men recently that cit would
be dereliction of duty on our part If
we did not devote special study and
attention to THE subject of better ser
wing his good customer, who pro
duces the food for our continued ex-
iStence."
Coupled with this phase of the pro-
gram is the interest of this new COM
mittee, the Institute points out, in
formulating long-range program to
correlate agricultural products with
petroleum products, particularly in
the industrial utilization of farm pro-
ducts. The committee will seek to fer
ret out such possibilities and to en-
courage their development.
This is an ambitious and worth
while program. If it succeeds not only
will oil men and farmers benefit, but
the national economy as whole.
American industry succeeds because
it is not afraid to tackle difficult,
long-range jobs.

express unselfishness, patience, toler-
ance, forgiveness, gratitude, and
other graces of spirit. The true self
hood of each of us is the reflection
of God, divine Love. Proving this
spiritual fact is the worthwhile OBJ
jective of life. We overcome fear,
sickness, lack, and other inhar-
monies in proportion as we realize
that we are in reality the children of
divine Love, hence spiritual. :.
Wonderful is the result of under
standing the glorious fact that man
is animated only by divine Love. 1t
enables us spontaneously to express
selfless qualities so evident in the
life which reflects the kingdom of
God. Mary Baker Eddy writes in
Science and Health with Key to the
Scriptures" Up. 248), "Let unselfish-
ness, goodness, mercy, justice, health,
holiness, love - the kingdom of
heaven-reign within us, and sin,
disease, and death will diminish un-
til they finally disappear" -.
All desire abundant life. Christ
Jesus declared John 10:10), "The
thief cometh not, but for to steal, and
to kill, and to destroy: l am come
that they might have life, and that
they might have it more abundantly."
The carnal mind is the thief which
would through selfishness and greed
keep us from experiencing the Joy
and health that are rightfully ours.

A Happier World

once the war was over. We thought
that what we considered the good
things of life would soon be avail

over that all would be glad to do
everything possible toward making
better world. But selfishness and
greed seem to have stepped in. In
stead of working together unself-
ishly, many appear bent on self
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. Each wants to see
how much he can acquire for him

The remedy, of course, is unselfiSh

We work in the right direction
when we obey the Masters injunc-
ton Matthew 6:33), Seek we first
the kingdom of God, and his right
eousness." When Christ Jesus said
that the kingdom of God is within
us, he plainly pointed out that the
kingdom of heaven is a right state
of consciousness. In the degree that
one serves unselfishly, realizing that
God is governing all, does one find
the kingdom of God, the spiritual
dominion that means happiness and
peace.

Strike-At Whom?


Financial reports make interest
ing reading to people who know
even little bit about what they
mean. To some, they look drab be-
cause they are printed mainly in
figures; many students never have
learned to enjoy studying figures.
Just the same, dull old numerals
tell the truth in romantic way
to those who love cold facts Of
struggle and adventure.
Late in May it was my good for
tune to have with me an annual re-
port of one of Americas largest cor
porations when l had to spend three
hours on day train. In the back
of my mind as l rode along, was a
lurking fear that l might reach
home day (maybe a week. late
because of labor troubles, just then
coiling to strike. My dread threw
dread light on the figures in
hand.
Division of Wealth
The company about which l was
reading plays an important part in
the lives of more than quarter of
million people: 100000 employees
and 100000 stockholders. Two out
of every five of these people dre@
wages while three out of five re-
ceived dividends. The average
share owner got less than $500 a
year. The average employee took
home more than $4,000 a year.
Daily newspapers for days had
reported threats of strikes in the
plants of the firm I was studying,
also on the lines of the railroad l
was riding, and in many other in
dustries. Question: If all the en-
ployees of all the companies strike
for what they want and get it, who
will pay the difference? How will
they pay it? These questions have
answers and they're not secrets.
Enter Apple Conductor
The train stopped for few min
utes under the sheds of a bigtown
station and a railway newsboy
came through with fresh afternoon
papers. On page one, under Wash
ington date-line, wire story told
how OPA would grant higher prices
on automobiles. Nearby was an
other item about a 1919 boost in
shoe prices. Then l remembered
that bread and milk and meat all
had gone up recently.
Whether you ride or walk or only
eat, the price gains catch you.
Wages are inside the cost of every
manufactured thing, and the con-
sumner pays. It is too obvious to de-
serve proof. Not long ago official
dom was sounding off freely about
how wages in Detroit could be
boosted without charging higher
prices for automobiles but it didn't
work out that way. Why?
Strikes Are Weapons
1t is because strikes are not tools.
The official theory was right: Wages
can go up without boosting prices
but production has to be increased
if it happens, and strikes don't in
crease production Sudden wage in
creases of 1879 to 800 have to come
from somewhere, but where? A
stakeholder drawing $500 a year
can't offer much of boon to
$4,000 wage Garner.
Strikes can't take something from
the owners of company that the
owners don't get. That leaves no
body to pay the higher wages but
Mr.. Consumer whose family drives
the car, wears the shoes and eats
the food. A large majority of con-
sumers are themselves workers. In
the absence of increased production,
a strike is boomerang. It hits
sle consumer who is the worker
himself.
