The female of the species may be deadlier than the male, but she's a lot more careful of herself when she's on the job doing her share of war work. The 1943 edition of "Accident Facts," the National Safety Council's statistical yearbook, points this out by showing that approximately 350 women died last year as a result of occupational injuries, as compared with 300 in 1940. the pre-war year.

This is a relatively small casualty list, the Council said, in view of the tremendous increase in the number of women engaged in war work. An increase in the feminine worker toll is anticipated this year the Council says, as women take over more and more hazardous jobs, but a very considerable rise will be necessary before the women's, fatality toll approaches anything near that of men. Twenty-nine per cent of all accidental deaths last year occurred to women. The worst female hazard was falls and the lowest drowning and death by "all other forces." "The obvious effect of this," Knox said, "is to make communications more difficult for the enemy. And while we're on the subject I want to say a word about the submarine service.

This" service has been doing an outstanding and a perfectly splendid job in the Pacific." The enemy's ship losses, he said, presumably are increasing steadily because the American submarine fleet is being "'constantly increased in size." Navy figures on enemy ships sunk by submarines included not only those definitely destroyed, but also vessels probably sunk or damaged. Knox's figures did not include. ships in that category- Also, he did not give any figures on Japan's losses in warship tonnage. Asked whether the sinkings "make it impossible for the Japanese to exploit profitably their conquered territories to the south," Knox replied in the affirmative. "Obviously," he added, "the loss of cargo ships must be embarrassing for them.

It is striking one of their vital activities. All their war-gained territories have to be reached by overseas means. And the steady destruction of that means of communications is bound to impair the use they can make of their war loot." American Submarines Operate Effectively, Says Secretary Knox WASHINGTON, Sept. 4. Secretary Knox announced today that one-third of Japan's total merchant shipping, approximately tons, has been destroyed.

The Navy chief declared this destruction of one of Japan's most vital war resources was chiefly accomplished by American submarine, although all United Nations sea and air forces have participated in the sinkings. Knox agreed with a questioner at his press conference that the enemy's loss of cargo tonnage was impairing the ability of the Japanese to exploit profitably their rich territories in the southwest Pacific. Whether this loss of tonnage was responsible for the withdrawal from Kiska Island in the North Pacific, and from islands in the central Solomons in the southwest Pacific, Knox saidhe did not know. But he added that those withdrawals certainly had been brought about by overseas communication difficulties. In making the estimate of actual tonnage sent to the bottom of the China sea and western Pacific by United Nations forces, Knox used figures which he said he could not officially confirm.

But he said they had been widely published and frequently referred to. On this basis, he said Japan's estimated cargo toni.age at the start of the war in December 1941 was tons. In addition the Japs have built or acquired in the interim an estimated 1,250,000 tons, to give a grand total of tonnage available or built of 7,618,891. Destruction of one-third of this total would put the enemy's tonnage loss at 2,539,630, an estimate based on the published information rather than on official navy figures, although Knox used these totals quite freely and apparently with considerable confidence in their general accuracy'. Knox said that of the total of enemy shipping destroyed 77 per cent had been sunk by submarines, mostly American, while the remaining 23 per cent was sent to the bottom by a combination of Accredited By The Central Association r- or colleges i- ease, one or -tne most vigourous of all campaigns waged by army health authorities, is reflected at the Dyersburg Army Air Base through the work of a special committee appointed by the commanding officer.

Existence of this group, which has been actively working to help solve the venereal disease problem in communities in the neighborhood of the base, was made public today in a story of its Working in close cooperation with civilian authorities, the military committee led by 1st Lt. Raymond Chatfield, Base Venereal Disease Control Officer, has met in several conferences with the mayors, police chiefs, sheriffs, public health authorities and othr civic leaders and groups of surrounding towns. Towns visited by the committee have been Ripley, Dyersburg, Covington, and Jackson, and conferences in. other localities are being planned. As Venereal Disease Control Officer, Lt.

Chatfield has been studying the problems facing the various communities and is making suggestions in regard to their settlment. Said Lt, Chatfield: "The communities visited are well aware of the situation and are anxious to meet it. Their big problem is how to combat venereal disease and the army is interested In helping them in this respect" "The army's attitude," continued Lt. Chatfield, "is to take venereal disease out of the category of morals and expose it as the vicious disease that it is by bringing it out into open battle. Thus we work more with public health authorities, than through the police.

Law enforcement is only necessary when infected persons refuse to submit to proper treatment." Lt. Chatfield pointed that during war periods the venereal disease rate always goes up. He revealed that the present war rate is lower than in any previous war for which there are records, but still it is not low enough. "Exact figures on the venereal disease rate at the Army Air Base or at any army camp are classified as confidential and connot be quoted Lt Chatfield stated. He said, however, that due to the continued presence of venereal diseases at all army camps, the men responsible for the health of the army are constantly wag Four Tests of a Good College 1 2 Is it built on a sound philosophy of education and of life?

An important feature of this campaign is an educational program conducted to teach men the facts of the diseases, their prevention and control. "Offering recreational programs to military personnel is one of the most effective measures of checking the venereal rate by keeping men away from contacts," Lt. Chatfield says. Available recreation at the local base includes planned athletic programs, movies, dances, and spare time activities in squadron day rooms and the service club.

But in the final analysis, Lt. Chatfield believes that the army and the civilian communities must share the joint responsibility of carrying the fight to the core of the problem to those responsible for the spread of infection. "Whenever a venereal case enters the Station hospital." Lt. Chatfield describes, "the man is questioned about the circumstances of the contact and the place of procurement.

The student is taught to appreciate the best achievements of the race in literature, art, science and religion. At the same time special courses prepare students for careers in business, teaching, medicine, law and engineering. The Lambuth faculty is strong. Eight of its members have had three or more years of graduate study. All have had advanced training in their respective fields and valuable experience in college teaching.

They are skilled teachers and sympathetic counselors of youth. Approximately 25 of the Lambuth alumni attend graduate and professional schools. Practically all of them make good records. In pre-medical training the record of Lambuth men for the period 1930-38 was unsurpassed in the seven southeastern states, according to figures furnished by the Association of American Medical Colleges. Moreover, Lambuth graduates cany into the professions, into business and into their home life the Christian principles around which the institution has been built.
