Certain phases of modern warfare,
and with their thick armor and

superior in gun power, in maneuver

some are even said to wear monocles.

leaves of absence.
Training For Defense
•
By Rufus T. Strohm
Dean, International
Correspondence Schools
WITHOUT an intercommunicat
ing system consisting of cables
and wires, the modern battleship
would be all but worthless. The
wiring is just as important as the
gun turrets or the steam power.
The ship might have all the ap-
pearance of a
first class per
former, but she
would be of lit
tle value in
action.
Some men are
like an un
finished ship.
They have the
Rufus T. Btrohm appearance and
• the potenti-
alities. but without skill they are
not capable of doing a job that re
quires responsibility. They are mere
shells of efficiency until the "wir
ing" or training is acquired. '
Today thousands of men are
working in the New York Navy
Yard, busily engaged in building
this nation's two-ocean navy. These
men are given opportunities to ad
vance to better jobs. The task de
mands skilled technicians and
mechanics. Every department must
have highly trained men to direct
those who build and fit together the
parts of gigantic battleships.
The Navy is proud of the spirit of
the men who build ships, but that
is not enough. Such workmen must
be perfectionists. There is not much
time to train men. but every effort
is being made in that direction.
The big jobs in the shipyard, like
those in any other great American
industry, are handled by those men
who are properly “wired” to pro
duce with speed and efficiency. You
Dave to have the “know howl"
Some timo ago Secretary Hull made
a tragic, if indirect, answer to such
critics. He announced the death at a
Panama hospital of a trusted Ameri
can consul who had lived for years in
tropical America. The pity of it is the
man died of malignant malaria—a pre
ventable and curable disease.
It must be presumed that the consul
knew that quinine taken in time would
have saved him. But perhaps, like
many who live in the tropics, he be
came careless. The U. S. Public Health
Service has broadcast the cure and
prevention of malaria. It is a message
that no one should forget and that this
unnecessary death makes worth re
peating.
As a preventive of malaria take six
grains ot quinine daily whenever ex
posed to the bite of infected mos
quitoes. ‘lf malaria comes, take 20
grains of quinine for 5-7 days and stop
the quinine when the chills and fever
have stopped. Such a regime would
have saved the life ot our diplomat.

IN BRIEF . ■ .
So Sorry!
In an attempt to suppress spreading
guerrilla revolts in Poland, 400 German
Gestapo agents were recently sent out
to mingle with the Polish people, for
the purpose of locating the headquar
ters of the chief leader of the guerrillas.
Arno Ranowicz. Six days after the Nazi
agents set foot in Poland, the clothes
worn by them began arriving in Berlin,
neatly folded in parcels addressed to
Gestapo Chief Heinrich Himmler. In
each parcel was a note from Ranowicx,
politely expressing regrets that the Ger
mans had forced him to take “extreme
measures.”
Famine in Belgium
Medical reports on the health of the
people of Belgium are alarming, ac
cording to authoritative London and
Washington sources. “Tuberculosis is
rapidly increasing. Adolescents have
lost an average of 10 or 12 pounds in
weight, at a time when they should be
gaining. Children faint or vomit in the
classrooms, and malnutrition is becom-.
ing general. The rations available for
adults are said to represent about 40%
of the amount of good food required
for average adujt activity.”
Norwegians Escape
In spite of harsh restrictive measures
imposed by the .Germans, many Nor
wegians still make their escape to Brit
ain each week. Most of these, using
small fishing or sail boats, come by twos
or threes, but occasionally a real coup
is made when audacious groups seize
a larger vessel and flee together. Not
long ago, a ship of some 200 tons disap
peared from under the Nazis’ noses in
Western Norway. It arrived in England
a few days later with more than one
hundred Norwegians aboard.
British Work On
About 60 per cent of Britain's total
productive capacity is now engaged in
war work, with factories working 24
hours a day and seven days a week.
Work now goes on even during air
raids. Each factory has a private spot
ter stationed on its roof, and it is only
when he gives the signal that his par
ticular factory is being singled out for
bombing that the workers leave their
machines and take shelter.
Australia’s Army
With a population of only seven mil
lions, Australia now has a total of
500,000 men in her armed forces. Os
these, more than 170,000 have Volun
teered for overseas service and are now
fighting in Libya, the Netherlands Aast
Indies and the Middle East If the
United States had a proportionate anny,
more than 10,000,000 Americans would
now be in uniform, ready and trained
to fight.
No More Ships
Reports from Denmark state that
practically all ship building has ceased
because the necessary wood is no long
er obtainable.
