The state finals will be played at Indianapolis a week later. LESS DEATH AND DISEASE EXPECTED IN THE NEXT WAR Washington, March 16. Another great war in Europe would produce fewer deaths from wounds, fewer maiming injuries and less disease per capita than in any major conflict of the world's history, military medical experts said today. Despite improvements in the art of killing during the last 20 years, modern medical practice in most countries has advanced even faster, they declared, and physicians and surgeons are better equipped than ever before to prevent illness and care for wounded men. Among recent advances which would protect the soldier against sickness and care for him when wounded are new vaccines and serums to prevent or aid in curing such diseases as tetanus poisoning, scarlet fever, diphtheria and measles; knowledge of food needs to prevent the "deficiency diseases," such as scurvy and beriberi; new drugs and anesthetics; improved surgical techniques, particularly in repairing bone and head injuries and in plastic surgery, and fast automobiles and airplane ambulances.

Maj. Isaac J. Frisch, medical corps officer with the Illinois Na- IllUiiai uuaiu, uctuieu au ai 11-cle in the Military Surgeon, official of the Association of Mili-'tary Surgeons, that "medical science has in its grasp the power to control and crush the diseases which in' former wars decimated armies and populations. "Small, typhoid, typhus, dysentery, cholera, malaria and scurvy can be controlled," he added, as well as i many other diseases of the camp and battlefield. Dr.

Charles R. Reynolds, surgeon-general of the army, added that "preventive medicine is our great field. Through advances in medicine it is now possible to salvage more human beings in war time than ever before." The new health protective measures would keep more effective men in the field with a lower cost in maintaining hospital and medical facilities behind the lines and a lessened drain on the civilian population for fresh troops. During the orld war approximately 80 percent of all American injured men were returned to duty and expectations are that an even larger percentage can be re turned quickly in another war. Orthopedic surgery to repair broken bones without malformation has made rapid strides, indicating fewer permanent injuries and many operations on the heart and brain, previously considered impossible, have proved successful.

Many such procedures, including plastic surgery, received their greatest impetus during the World war, army surgeons declared, and have resulted in the saving of thousands of lives in peace time. One of the few advantages of war is the rapid development of medicine and surgery during the conflict and immediately afterward, government surgeons agreed. A highly important problem for medical men in the next war will be the treatment of emotional diseases among both soldiers and civilians resulting from intensive shellfire and aerial bombing, Maj. Frisch declared. The medical profession must be ready to meet this need, he added, since mental injuries are just as serious and incapaci-tatina as physical injuries.

ED WHEELAN I LOW MORTALITY RATE FROM OUTBREAK OF SEVERE COLDS Education of Public and Improved Medical Care Cut Deaths from Respiratory Diseases New York, March 9. Education the public, combined with improved medical treatment, is thought be in part responsible for the low mortality rate attending the outbreak of severe colds, influenza, and related respiratory conditions rampant in many sections of the country, according to Dr. Donald B. Armstrong, third vice-president of Metropolitan Life Insurance company. Health department reports demands on nursing services show that this outbreak is general many of the larger American cities.

"The death rate from these respiratory diseases has remained low," said Dr. Armstrong. "In fact, general mortality rates for the few weeks of the year for large sections of the population are slightly less than for the corresponding period in 1938. This also holds true the influenza and pneumonia death rates. "This low mortality rate from quite prevalent respiratory diseases no doubt partly due to the fact the general public ha3 been educated to take the doctor's advice, when they have a cold or a fever with aches and pf.ins.

More frequently than hitherto they are probably going to bed, calling a physician, following his instructions. "The outbreak of severe colds or influenza this year are not altogether typical of previous experience. disturbances are often characterized by somewhat unusual symptoms, such as gastro-intestinal upsets, with very little apparent involvement of the respiratory tract by a persistent and recurrent fever, accompanied by few and some times no other symptoms. "Wiser procedure on the part of better informed public has probably figured in this lower death rate. The educational work done by health departments, physicians, life insurance companies, and others is having its beneficial effect on those suffering from respiratory diseases.

"Improved medical treatment, which enables a physician to have pneumonia typed in its earlier stages to administer the proper serum the disease, is cutting pneumonia deaths in many areas by at least 50 percent. At the same time reports from medical centers and hospitals showred that the use of sulfanilamide sulfaphyridine for the treatment pneumonia, even though still experimental, is most encouraging. This form of chemical treatment gives promise of being practically as effective in pneumonia as it has proved to be in streptococcus infections, such as childbed fever. Sulfaphyridine by itself, or perhaps preferably when combined with serum, a series of carefully observed pneuimonia cases, has very materially lowered the fatality rate, even when compared with the best serum treatment results hitherto experienced. "Furthermore, through lectures, pamphlets, exhibits, motion pictures other media, people generally realizing more keenly that pneumonia and respiratory conditions are contagious diseases.

They understand that they must be hand with isolation and due care, not only during the acute stage of the ailment but also during early convalescence." FEW CHANGES MADE IN THE 1939 INDIANA HIGHWAY MAP Four changes in the 1939 Indiana road map of importance to motorists were announced today by Bert Vanderwarf, head of the Chicago Motor club touring and travel bureau. "Old U. S. 152 from Crown Point Indianapolis has been made Ind. to the intersection of U.

S. 52 Montmorenci," he said. S. 152 west of Crown Point is now marked Ind. 8.

"Route numbers on U. S. 41 north U. S. 6 will be removed, and route 119 from Monticello north to Buffalo has been made Ind.

39," he pointed out. Former route 2 50 from Mitchell west to its junction with U. S. 50 has been marked Ind. 60.

FINEST DOTTLE JJ 1 "The Best In Garrett ni a IL Harry L. Kast of 2813 Reed street. Fort Wayne, a former Garrett resident, will have the Distinguished Service Cross conferred upon him if a bill introduced in congress by Congressman Geo. W. Gillie of Fort Wayne, is approved.

Harry Kast is a son of Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Kast of Fort Wayne, and a brother of Harold L.

Kast of Orange, N. J. His father was formerly a Baltimore and Ohio engineer. The bill introduced by Congressman Gillie cites that Harry Kast showed "extraordinary heroism in attempting to save the life of a fellow soldier when the Antilles was torpedoed and sank at sea on Oct. 17, 1917." The bill was referred to the house committee on military affairs and the board of decorations of the war department for consideration.

Mr. Kast, who was a second lieutenant of infantry during the World war, was aboard the U. S. S. Antilles when it was torpedoed by a German submarine off the coast of France.

His story of the disaster, which has been substantiated by several of his comrades, follows: "I went to France with the first division. We landed in June of 1917. I remained with the first division until October of 1917 when I received orders to return to the United States as an instructor unassigned. "I sailed from France on October 14 on the Antilles. We were about 700 miles off the coast of France when, on the morning of October 17, we were torpedoed by a German submarine.

It was just at daybreak. My buddy, Swartzberg, and I were asleep when the torpedo hit our ship in the engine room, or mid-ship. "I jumped from bed and so did he, immediately, and as we went up on deck the water followed us up. I never expect to hear an explosion like that again. It was' terrific.

When we arrived on deck the ship was half under water. "We were assigned to a life boat on the port side. One of the deck hands, Swartzberg and myself tried to let the boat down to the water. The swell was very high that morning. Swartzberg was in the boat but when it hit the water, a large wave came along and smashed the life boat flatter than a pancake.

It threw Swartzberg up against a stateroom, cutting a large hole in his head and left eye. He lay there on deck. "I picked him up and said: 'Come on. Buddy, we have to get off. She's sinking He said: 'Go ahead, I'm "I looked around and knew we only had a few seconds to go before she sank.

I threw him overboard and jumped in after him. We had only been in the water a few seconds when the boat exploded and went down. "I grabbed Swartzerg by the hair to keep his head out of water as much as possible. I struggled along and after a short time a raft from the ship came along, and I took hold of it. After working for half an hour or so I managed to pull both of us on top of It.

Swartzberg was very low. His head was bleeding profusely and he was groaning and spitting. "I tore some rags from my underclothing and tried to bandage his head, but I could see he was sinking fast and I had begun to feel the effects of exertion and had all I could do to hold us both on the raft. The water was icecold and the weather was cold. "The only time I could see any of the other ships was when we came on top of a wave.

I tried to do everything I could for him to keep him alive until -we were picked up, but he only lived about two hours. After he died I held on to him as long I could until I became paralyzed from the cold and I had to let him roll off the raft- "The men and officers in charge of the boat that picked me up said they PHONE 343 For complete insurance protection for your home or automobile In one policy at minimum cost.

March 9. The state agricultural department believes that the average American consumes 10 pounds of onions every year in his quest for seasonings. The onion, the department says, is "high on epicures' lists at the moment." Housewives in buying onions are advised to avoid: "Those that have begun to sprout or in which the seed stem has developed, or that show signs of rot, especially if they are moist at the neck." Onions that have a brown stain on the outer skin are not necessarily injured if they are hard and dry, the department said adding that much of the stain will disappear when the outer layers are peeled off. Misshapen onions are sometimes wasteful to prepare but otherwise perfectly edible. "When it comes to food value and their place in a well-rounded diet," the department said, "the onion supplies some minerals and some vitamins and when eaten raw in sandwiches and salads."

FAMILY TROUBLES ARE OFTEN CAUSE OF PHYSICAL DISEASE Atlanta, March 9. Family troubles and threats of war in Europe have a strong influence in causing many actual physical diseas- es by their effect on the mind, Dr. W. O. Johnson, Louisville, told surgeons here today.

"Psychic and emotional influences are causes of high blood pressure, goiter, colitis, exhaustion, pel vic congestion and constipation" as expressions of "exaggerated human functions," he declared. These troubles are human diseas es and have not been reproduced in animals, he said, and do not occur before a child has developed its emotional powers "Their occurrence bears a strong relationship to world crisis and great emotional states." A much greater percentage of a patient's complaints are psychological in origin than the diagnoses made by physicians indicate, Dr. Johnson added in pointing out that eighty-two of 100 selected patients he treated were restored to normal by treating their emotion rather than their physical symptoms. WHISKER GROWING STARTED IN OBERAMMERGAU, GERMANY Germany, March 13. Whisker-growing began today on a large scaie in tnis Bavarian vil lage famed for its Passion Play.

Whether a villager expects to be chosen for one of the major roles or not, he lets his beard and his hair grow. This is because, besides those who who will take the parts of Christ, the Apostles and other roles. scores of "supers" are needed for mass scenes and tradition demands that the male "supers" be bewhis- kered. TJie first performance of the Passion Play, In which the villagers enact the passion and death of Christ, was given in 1634 after the cessation of the scourge of the black death. It was repeated every 10 years until 1674, after which the dates were changed so as to fall on decimal years.

The next perform ance is scheduled for 1940. BIG TOP NEW BOOKS AT PUBLIC LIBRARY 1 (Continued from page 1) gusson is entirely impartial and writes with humor, warm sympathy and clear insight of these neighbors of ours to the south. "Portraits from a Chinese Scroll," Elizabeth F. Lewis. There are, of course, many books on China, but this one is unique.

It is a series of story-portraits of the merchant, the farmer, the artisan, the scholar, and many other types of the Chinese people. Each portrait is preceded by a short introduction giving interesting general information about the type featured in the story that follows. It is difficult to give an adequate Impression in a brief review of the charm of this book. Written with deep understanding and knowledge of the Chinese, it brings them vividly before us in all the variety of their daily lives and occupations, their loyalties, and fears. It is beautifully illustrated and the margins are gay with decorative Chinese calligraphy in red.

For the children Miss Jones writes the following letter. "Dear Boys and Girls: In this group of International Mind Alcove books you will find two books about The first book called 'Buffo and Petro." Petro is a little Greek boy who I owns Buffo and keeps his skin black and shining by washing Buffo every 1 day and rubbing him with olive oil. The other book has a long title, 'The Pig That Danced a Jig, and is about an Irish girl, Moira, and her pet pig. Patrick. Moira and Patrick played together until Moira was given a doll.

But you must read the book to find out what happened then.

TOURISTS ARE SHOWING MORE INTEREST IN HISTORIC POINTS Pointing to the growing interest which tourists are indicating in American history and scenic beauty, (attendance at national parks and I monuments totalled more than nine million in 1938, an increase of 2.5 per cent over the previous year, according to the Chicago Motor club touring bureau. "This trend of American tourist travel contrasts sharply with the attendance at crowded resort areas where the visitor volume dropped from ten to twenty per cent during the past year," Bert Vanderwarf, head of the motor club travel department, revealed. "Also suffering in attendance, Canada reports a 12 per cent decrease in tourists," he reported, "and the issue of passports for foreign travel fell off 20 per cent over the preceding year, due to unrest in world affairs." By "DUTY YEAR" ESTABLISHED BY GERMAN NAZI OFFICIALS Every Girl who Seeks "Career" Must Serve 12 Months on Farm or in Domestic Service Berlin, March 10. Nazi Germany is attempting to reverse the modern march of youth from the farm to the city.

One of the chief purposes of the "duty year" created by Field Marshal Hermann Goering was to aid in this movement by requiring every German girl -who seeks a "career" or even a plain job to serve 12 months on a farm or in domestic service. Thus, soon after Easter when the school year ends, some 300,000 ambitious girls between the ages of 14 and 25 will begin their "duty yeai" in the reich. This is the latest of numerous Nazi inventions designed to combine the ideology of service to the state and loye of the soil with a partial solution of pressing economic problems. The others, embracing girls and boys, are labor service, consisting of six months manual labor, draining swamps, improving farms, which boys usually perform just before military service; land service, a voluntary year of farm work after finishing school; land year; which combines a rural vacation for run-down city children with work on the farm; harvest help and other temporary services performed by the Hitler youth during critical periods. Girls who have already served in one of the groups mentioned can deduct their time from the duty year.

Otherwise the only way of avoiding it, if you want a job, is to: 1. Prove that you already had a job before March 1, 1938; 2. Prove that you plan a so-called independent occupation, such as artist, or shopkeeper, which does not involve becoming an employe; 3. Prove that you are physically unfit; 4. Prove that you have to support your family; Or 5.

Prove that you are married. Married girls are exempt, and labor ministry officials admit with a smile that many girls have and are getting married to avoid the duty year. But getting married is also very much in line with Nazi ideology. Nothing about the duty year is an experiment. It is based on experience gained in some provinces since 1934.

Special care is taken that the 14 and 15-year-olds, who make up the bulk of the girls, are put into families of. about their own social level where they will not only work but be "brought up." Older girls are encouraged to work in poor, so-called "child-wealthy" families. The Seven Wonders The generally accepted list of the seven wonders of the world is this one: The pyramids of Egypt, the hanging gardens of Semiramis at Babylon, the temple of Diana at Ephesus, the statue of Zeus by Phidias, the tomb of Mausolus, erected by his wife, Artemisia, at Halicar-nassus, the Pharos, or lighthouse, of Alexandria, and the Colossus of Rhodes. oi rTZTT JS "tt ii nun. i i v-t TAimii PROOF pj(jT ()(0)c 2-20o STEP RtG-HT UP, FOLKS IT'S ENORMOUS vg- vTS THRILtlN' ITS EPUCATONAL THE eU3- SHOW IS ABOUT T' START 'i HAVE GrO WHEELAN presents A STUPENDOUS, SUPER-COL055AL STORy OF Lira ii.
