27. Many little health tricks to keep war workers well were shown at the American Public Health association which began its annual meeting. The tricks are the things each man and woman can do for him-sefl in addition to the food, medl-cat, sanitation and safety precautions. If the job sedentary, tip one Is don't be a tail-sitter but a jflrm-astern-sitter. That Is done by crowding the back of the chair all the way down to the seat.

Stand up occasionally, bend or stretcn, snrug your siioume.s. noa your head with both yeg and no motions. If the job is standing don't be a droop with shoulders hunched I and stomach sticking forward. Sit down now and then, put your feet up on the desk in the car-I tooned big executive style, wear low shoes, shift position, swing 'one leg. I If you have a backache, do a jcat stretch, which puts both arms iup in a T.

Put a pillow roll on the chair, adjust the chair to ease i the back and sleep on a fiat bed. If it's a headache, try fresh air i elimination, rest the eyes, take long sleeps. I For aching hands, shake them, 'scrub them with soapy water. rrEssage them, play games. Weary roomy fiats for those aching feet Sit down with feet elevated desk high, soak them in warm water, wriggle the toes.

Don't neglect play. A walk at the noon hour is recommended After hours play may be hiking, bowling, swimming, dancing, bicycling picnics, arts, crafts, games, music, reading or dramatics. Remember the old cover-a-sneeze rule. Don't stand close i while- you talk. Keep your body scrubbed as skin is the first line of defense.

If you have a fever stay in bed. Diseases, said the association, go from hand to mouth; so scrub I your hands well before meals. Recommended highly is the Bridgeport (Conn.) plan, knovn as pack a lunch a man can work on. Bridgeport won national notice among health workers by this campaign and the Bridgeport lunches comprise meat and other sandwiches, salads, raw vegetables, fruits, cakes and milk til in one lunch. Finally get the medical checkup when you don't feel right.

City Scrap Drive Lacks 75 Tons The city scrap drive is lacking 75 tons of the goal of 300 tons and it was announced that the work of collecting will go forward until the goal is attained. This was decided at a meeting of the salvage for victory committee of the city civilian defense council held in Burton Wynn'g office Monday evening. Rags have been listed as one of the greatest, present essentials in the war effort and Mr. Wynn accordingly requests that all persons having castoffs that can be contributed to meet this want get in touch with his office and the material will be collected. Two carloads of scrap will be shipped early next week from the depot at the rear of Nearhoof's car plant, Union avenue and Twen-ty-second street.

There will be no middleman involved in the disposition of the material and it will go directly to the mills. The money received will go to some local war effort which is not supported by the state or federal government. Four old automobiles have Tjeen contributed to the scrap pile and a trouser pressing equipment made of metal and weighing 600 pounds also has been contributed. The committee members expressed the hope that those who- have the means of conveyance will take their contributions directly to the depot. Arrested Wilfred Tipton, 37.

of 2915 Pine avenue, was arrested by city police' yesterday afternoon at 2:15 o'clock cn Seventh avenue between Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets on a charge of being drunk and operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of Intoxicating beverages.
