Said the applicant, scratching his head, "I just don't remember, judge." Virgin Islands The Danish West Indies, now called the Virgin Islands of the Unit-ed States, were purchased from Denmark for $25,000,000,000 by the United States in accordance with the provisions of a treaty, proclaimed January 25, 1917. COLD 'BUG' MEANS DANGER FOR MANY "I've got a bug." How often have you heard that said followed usually in a moment or two by a sneeze which,, because of your nearness, may cause you to inhale not one "bug" but thou-sands of poisonous germs. And as a result be-fore long you have a "bug" and are sneezing. If you are fortunate, it will be as simple as that. Dr. Nathan S. Davis III But beware. Because of the viru-lence and type of the infection, through poor physical condition, or because you may be over-tire-have an intestinal upset or other minor ailment that lowers your re-sistance, you may develop complica-tions, such as sinus trouble, ear-ache, bronchitis, or pneumonia. The "bug" may even be one that means rheumatic fever, heart trou-ble, a kidney disease, or "blood pois-oning." The common cold, sore throats, and epidemic influenza are highly contagious. If one member of a family is stricken by one of these y throat infections it usually spreads to all the rest. If a child with one of these "colds" goes to school, hardly one in the classroom will escape. Some persons will have many colds every year while another will not have more than one or two a year. "Colds" differ from season to season and from year to year. At one time, there will be little fever and the disturbance will be mostly in the nose. Another time, or even at the same time in another year, there will be fever and a sore throat. "Colds" tend to increase as the sun moves farther south, the days become shorter and the ultra-viol-rays fewer in the North Temperate Zone it seems, at least. So, also, U.S. POPULATION NOW INCREASED BY7 NUHIER HR 1.000 POFUllttlON i v ri r i i i i a "S n " V V NKTH mi M V-- K i I nP i HEATH RUE 10 ol 10 nil N8 na iu m nw mi tut nn The population of U. S. increased by 7.2 between 1930 and 1940, rising from 122.000,000 persons to 131,000,000. If the present birth and death rates continue, the population of U. S. will increase approximately 1 per generation there are not as many "colds" when the days become longer and the ultra-viol- rays more numerous. During the fall, winter and spring months, people are indoors most of the time and for food depend more on varieties that have been proc-essed and preserved. So it would seem that a generally lowered re-sistance due to a combination of causes rather than to any special weakness accounts for the seasonal variation. How can we avoid catching cold? A diet containing enough vitamins, minerals and proteins and a proper amount of carbohydrates is of great importance in keeping up resist-ance. Plenty of rest and exercise are also necessary. It is most important also that we avoid crowds in street cars, stores and movies, in so far as possible, as it lessens the chance for exposure. Above all do not feel that you must visit every sick friend or relative. If you must visit those sick with a cold or if you have to care for them, wear a gauze mask over your nose and mouth, at least, so that you may inhale fewer of the "bugs" which have been scattered about by the patient sneezing and coughing. Sterilize the dishes and eating ob-jects used by the patient and let him use paper handkerchiefs which may be burned. Put the patient in a room alone so the cold won't be spread to others. If you have the cold, don't leave the house and, if you can, stay in bed. Keep other members of the family, especially the older ones and the children, out of your room. Don't go out and spread the "cold" to fellow employees, or to those near you in busses, street cars or trains! Don't go to the movies! A Hide knowledge is a dangerous thing. WEEKLY MEWS ANALYSIS By Edward C. Wayne Methods of Providing Aid to Russia Before Nazis Win Complete Victory Is Big Problem for U. S. and Britain; Japanese Move Again in Indo-Chin- a (EDITOR'S NOTE When opinions are expressed in these eolumns, thej are those of the newa analyst and not necessarily of this newspaper.) 'Released by Western Newspaper Union th l" vr I IIS 0 P W SS )..ii - '- -,; J Disconsolate Russian prisoners are shown marching through an un-named town on their way to a prison camp behind the German lines, reads the caption accompanying this picture from Berlin. The caption further states that this is a part of the huge bag of prisoners taken on the far-flu- Russian front. RUSSIANS: Deep Trouble As the Nazi blitz moved into high gear on the central and south fronts of the great battle of the east front, the question began to be seriously asked whether Russia, like France, Greece and so many other nations, was going to be forced out of the war as a combatant, wilting before the heat and ferocity of the Nazi war machine. Indeed, when the German spear-heads had been announced 65 miles away from Moscow, the stories of peace and truce offers began to come over the cables, and one of them even declared that Stalin was considering an armistice. However, these rumors were promptly denied from Berlin, Italy, London and Moscow, the Axis de-nials stating that objectives were far from being reached, and London and Moscow sources declaring the Russians were still able to fight. Be that as it may, it was obvious that the crisis was being reached, and that once again the great man-power of Russia must decide if it were better to give in to the Nazi, or to battle it out as the Chinese did against the Japs. Few believed that Germany or any group of European powers could finally defeat Russia, with the back-ing of England and the United States, provided Russia were willing to fight the sort of rear-guar- d ac-tion that China used with such suc-cess. But Whether the willingness was there, or the philosophical tempera-ment needed for such a defense was a question. Harriman, American envoy to the U. S. mission to Moscow, answered it this way: "I believe the leaders of Russia will lead the people to fight on." Beaverbrook felt the same way. NAVY: Takes Prisoners The United States came its closest to actual participation in the war when the navy announced that it had taken prisoner about 20 "Nazis," whether actual German citizens or Norwegians under Ger-man domination was not immediate-ly clear. The American naval patrol, in-cluding Iceland and Greenland in its orbit, was searching the coastline of the latter island for an alleged German submarine base when it came upon a small Norwegian ves-sel. The ship was stopped, questions were put to its crew and the vessel was thoroughly searched. Not only did the navy announce that it was determined that the men were Nazi agents under the direction of the Gestapo, but the questioning led to the finding of a radio station set up on the mainland of Greenland. This station, apparently, was being set up by the Germans, the report had stated, for the purpose of broad-casting weather information to the Nazis. The purpose might have been for the flights of planes that had been "strafing" shipping in the north At-lantic; it might have been for guid-ance of submarines; it might have been to give locations of lease-len- d ships to surface raiders, planes or At all events ship, crew and radio station were all taken over by the navy, which announced that all were on their way to the United States. It had been the first move of this type since President Roosevelt had issued the "shoot on sight" order. JAPAN: Moves Again Considerable alarm about the Pacific situation was caused when Tokyo made another move associat- MATERIAL AID: ed with her expansion into Indo But Hoiv? The Soviet crisis left the lease-len-ideas of Britain and this coun-try very much "out on a limb." That both countries were dispatch-ing aid was apparent. But how much and how long were difficult prob-lems. "Barkis was willin'," but the Ira-nian railway from the head of the Persian gulf to the shores of the ' Caspian sea, thence into boats and again to Russian railways and roads in the Caucasus seemed the only practicable route. : Britain had material to give and was giving it not only planes but . squadrons and pilots and gunners. Much of this was of the heavier types which could be flown direct to the scene of service, put into ac-tion and, if surviving an eventual Russian defeat, presumably could be saved. But much of it, such as tanks and guns, had to be shipped in. The British took the attitude that they . were not only willing to give of their own store, but of the American lease-len- d store. They said, in ef-fect: "We get it from the United States this way, and we shall do for Russia what the United States is doing for us." Britain felt that the Americans should give what they could, but the task they wanted this country to take over, the keeping of Soviet's "Burma road" open seemed a task that it was a little dubious how we could accomplish. China. The Japanese demanded control of the Indo Chinese railway system. They also had demanded the right to control customs collections and postal censorship. At the same time the Japanese demanded the arsenal at Saigon, and this was considered highly sig-nificant because at this arsenal the French had set up what was re-garded as the most powerful radio direction-findin- g outfits in the Orient. The Japanese armed forces in Indo China were continuing their maneuvers along the Thailand fron-tier, back of which, and in Malaya, there were heavy concentrations of British troops. The Saigon moves, the British said, were being closely watched, because of the likelihood that if any plane attacks were to be .made against Singapore or Manila, Saigon would be the proper hopping-of- f spot. VIERECK: Revelations What many believed to be true, that Nazi agents in the United States were using the the isolationists and other enemies of the President's foreign policy for their own ends was de-clared to be a fact by George Syl-vester Viereck, author, poet and registered Nazi agent. Viereck was being tried in Wash-ington on charges that he had not told the state department the whole story about his activities. It was perhaps a joke, but at all LEASE-LEND- : Second Edition Everyone had expected the sec-ond lease-len- d bill of six billions ot dollars to pass the house, but the vote, 328-6- was considerable of a surprise to the who had made part of the fight a battle against aid to Russia. The smashing victory for the pro-ponents of the President's lease lend policy, and for implementing it with a huge sum was repeated in the de-feat of the amend-ment. This was knocked off handily by a vote of 161-2- The first lease-len- d bill had been passed 336-5- Most opponents of the administration held that the country had made known its sentiments at the time of the passage of the first bill. They gained only 12 votes in the second It was being freely predicted that there would be a third request from the White House for more billions next March. Representative liich oflcred the amendment which would have barred Russia, and which went down on a counted vole. i events a sensation when, at the out-set of his trial, he was asked to "name his associates" and he list-ed two assistants of Secretary Hull, Joseph Davies, former ambassador to Russia, and William Phillips, now ambassador to Rome. The nub of the case against Viereck was that he listed his activ-ities only as an employee of the Ger-man library of information; as cor-respondent for a Munich newspaper. The library had been closed down by the government for alleged im-proper activities. The prosecution had maintained that Viereck failed to mention his connection with Flanders Hall, Inc., book publishers, or the Make Europe Pay War Debts committee. The committee charged that Viereck had financed the latter. Viereck had admitted that he had "used" isolationists and their organ-izations, but denied it was improp-er. There were many who believed that many non - interventionist groups were honest enough in their intenlions but that they were being "used" by Nazi agents. Viereck seamed to have confirmed this.
