(EDITOR'S NOTE: Thb is a guest column written by Winfxeld J. Dyrden, WNU Staff Correspondent, and was not prepared by Bauk- - hage, whose column generally appears in this space each week.) DDT, much publicized Insecticide, eaved thousands of lives of our lighting men and civilians In coun-tries where our operations were ex-tended, but It Is not the panacea that we would like to believe. The Irony of the story Is that It was discovered nearly seventy years ago by h German chemist named Zeldler, but was almost forgotten until rediscovered during the pres-ent war by Dr. Paul Muller and Dr. Paul Lauger. These Swiss scien-tists asserted recently, upon their arrival In America, that with proper control, tiles, mosquitoes and other harmful Insects ran be eliminated entirely from the United States. Kut along with these Insects would go our pollen carrying Insects, bees and other beneficial friends of man kind, also perhnps our birds and flab, Gone also would he many plants and trees that depend upon Insects for pollnlzatlon. As they point out It is n Job for entomolog-ists, not laymen. DDT has been made available to the public in limited amounts. There will soon be a sufficient supply to meet every demand. Manufacturers of the products, whether In liquid or owder form are careful to give complete Instructions as to Its ap-plication, which must be followed. Scientist Tell of Effectiva DDT Use Despite Its Inherent toxicity, DDT in the desired Insectleldal concentra-tions In air Is of such low order thnt It will not cause Injurious effects In humans, Dr. Paul A. Neal, chief of the research section of the division of Industrial hygiene of the U. 8. Public Health service has reported. It was this knowledge that mnde It advisable to spray from the air the Jones Bench area on Iyong Island, N. Y., and part of the city of Rock-ford- , Illinois. In both cases the pur-pose was to control Insects, Jones beach to kill sand lleas and Itock-for-to kill polio-carryin- tiles, be-lieved to have been the direct cause for the serious infanlle paralysis outbreak In ninny sections. Lt Col. A. L. Ahnfeldt, U. S. sur-geon general's ofTlce, after a study of results secured In the army, re-ports: "In peace time DDT may well change the destiny of the earth's population. . . Our postwar world will no longer be scourged by typhus and malaria and other In-sect borne diseases. DDT is not a cure-al- l, but In the perpetual war between humans and disease, DDT Is one of the most effective weapons yet discovered by man." "DDT will be to preventive medi-cine what Lister's discovery of anti-septic was to surgery and should close the door forever on those diseases which are companions of death dealing Insects." In the field of agriculture the re-sults have been far from disappoint- - other kinds of sucking bugs, mimosa webworm, pine saw tiles, pink boll-wor-spruce budworm, velvetbean caterpillar, vetch brocMd, white fringed beetles, mosquitoes, bedbugs, three kinds of lice on man, and houseflles tOd fleas In buildings. A Good Insecticide For Pcstwar Home Brig. Gen. Simmons, army medl cal corps has said, "DDT will ex-ceed even penicillin In Its ultimate usefulness and will prove to be the outstanding medical advance made during the war." One of the newest products Is a paint containing DDT to be used on walls of kitchens, dining rooms and In Institutions. Other industrial uses have been found by dusting with a 10 parent DDT powder around the sink and other places where cockroaches and other insects stay. DDT will eliminate the bedbug problems In hospitals, us well as In private dwellings. It may be appli-ed as a rive percent spray or as a 10 percent powder to both sides of the mattress and springs. It also provides freedom from flies and mosquitoes In hospitals. The new aerosol bomb, which releases the DDT as an aerosol -- a cross between a fumigating gas and an ordinary fly spray, Is excellent for this purpose. A power spray may he used In ap-plying a five percent DDT solution. Just as lt Is proving effective on the agricultural and Industrial front, nnd as It saved lives on the war fronts, DDT has started to con-tribute to the health of the home front. The story of spraying for mosquitoes against malaria Is well known. Painting door ami window screens with a live percent solution of DDT In water or kerosene leaves nn in-sectleldal residue that will kill ev-ery fly, mosquito, or other Insect lighting there within the next sev-eral motulis, the U. S. department of agriculture reports. A live percent solution of DDT In kerosene sprayed on floors or over rugs eliminates the tlea nuisance. A hand sprayer Is adequate. By spray-ing deep Into cracks. DDT will re-main toxic to these Insects for sev-eral weeks. A ten percent powder applied to cracks with a small hand duster can be depended to kill any brown dog ticks that may be hiding tTiere. Baseboards, especially those that have worked loose from the wall, af-ford excellent breeding places for bedbugs, cockroaches, and brown dog ticks. DDT is sure death to these pests. A hand sprayer, held close to the opening, will send the insecticide, u five percent solution In kerosene, down where the Insects are concealed, or a large duster, of 10 percent powder may be used. lng. Itemarkable results have been obtained by some of Its application, while In others the results were either negative, Incomplete, or Its use not recommended due to effect on birds nnd other Insects. Will Prove Boon To Hard Worked Farmer While agricultural use of DDT must still be considered In Its ex-perimental state, reliable and com-plete tests at various state experi-ment stations have proved that It Is the best Insecticide now on the mar-ket for the control of the apple's most destructive pest, the codling moth. It will kill Japanese beetle adults, while current remedies are based entirely upon their repelling value. The grnpe leafhopper and other leafhoppers are highly susceptahle to DDT and excellent results have been obtained with it against Orien-tal fruit moth. It also has proved effective against apple red bug, pear thrips, grape berry moth, fruit tree leafroller, apple maggot, cherry maggot and many others. In California It was proved that DDT was effective against codling moths in walnut and other orchards. At Missouri It was found that a three percent dust was effective In controlling blister beetle, squash bug, white fly, thrips, sowbugs, corn earworm, Colorado potato beetle, spotted and striped cucumber beetles, northern corn rootworm, pavement ant, lace-bug- s, leafhop-pers on grape, flea beetles on egg-plant, and a ten iiercent dust for roaches, fleas, and squash bugs. The TT. S. department of agricul-ture reported that "DDT Insecticides were found experimentally to be definitely more effective than those currently used for control of some 80 pests that attack field crops, man, livestock and trees. These Included codling moth, cabbage looper, eatul-p- a sphinx, cotton ball-wor- cotton eastern tent caterpillar, elm bark beetle, green-stripe- d maple worm, gypsy moth, horn flies on cat-tle. Japanese beetle. I.ygus and four Continuation of Nurses Training to Provide for Thousands of Qualified Hospital Assistants By Walter A. 8head, WNU Staff Correspondent A total of 112,000 girls and young women, of which number 59 percent or approximately 66,100 come from small towns of 5,000 and under population, are enrolled in the nurses training courses sponsored by the United States Public Health Service of the Federal Security Agency. These girls are entrained in what is more commonly called the cadet nurses training corps and the erroneous impression has been largely fostered that they must enter the army and navy service upon graduation. This is untrue, however, since the law providing for the training of these nurses says they are trained for the armed forces, governmental and civilian hospital, health agencies, war industries and for other purposes, course to provide additional nun, during the emergency, particularly from the glrll themselves. Most complaint, Mrs. Mulcahy remarked, comes from parents who believe the Slris should have the same pay as privates in the ami, $50 per month; that the girls are not subject to veterans' benefits and that they are not entitled to free mall. To offset these, however, It U pointed out that the girls are re-ceiving training for a life work at the expense of their government and that despite need for nurses In the armed forces, they are still free agents to practice when and where they will, or to not practice at all If they should so desire, If they marry, or for any other reason. and where the nurses decide to practice .Is entirely voluntary on their part They may decide to stay In civilian practice, or to go into the army or navy, but emphasig Is placed upon the voluntary nature of their service. As Is the case In most war proj-ects, particularly where money for operation comes from gome other source, there I considerable con-fusion In the Public Health Service as this is written as to whether the governmental training of nurses un-der the act will continue. The law setting up the program provides that the act shall cease upon the date of termination of hos-tilities In the present war as deter-mined by the President or upon such earlier date as the congress, by concurrent resolution, or the President may designate. The student nurses already en-rolled In the program will be able to finish their courses because the law provides that all student nurses who were receiving training or course ninety days prior to end of hostili-ties or declaration by congress or the President may be graduated. No further enrollments are being accepted In the cadet nurses' corps. Those with more than 90 days of training, as of V-- J day, will be re-tained In their present hospital as-signments, until they have complet-ed the 80 to 30 mouths of training provided. A movement has been started In congress to have the life of the cadet nurses' corps continued during peace time. Thousands to Graduate. Thirty thousand young women will become graduate nurses this fall as the new class prepares to enter the course and while the armed forces likely will urge these graduates to enter upon hospital duty within the services. It may be that the need elsewhere will be more urgent At any rate, it will be optional with the graduate as to where they go. Cost of sending these nurses through a course Is approx-imately $1250 to the government, so the cost of the training so far has been about $1.W,000,000. In addition, the government, with Lanhani Act funds from the Federal Works Agen-cy, has constructed some 230 new projects, Including buildings, labora-tories and other equipment at a cost to the government of $17,397,202 and to the private hospitals of successful efforts In the war and has been the most reasonable In point of cost to the government. The public relations program Is In charge of Mrs. Jean Henderson Mulcahy of Jacksonville, Fla., a former news-paper woman, who prior to her com-ing to Washington was for five years director of public relations for the Florida State Board of Health. The cadet nurse corps Is one of the few organizations In the war which has been given an official flag and by action of Dr. Thomas Parran, Surgeon General, and ap-proved by Paul V. McNutt, Federal Security Administrator, the flag was ordered as a white rectangular field, with a white Maltese cross centered on a red oval superimposed on a rectangle of gray and below the cross Insignia the words "Cadet Nurse Corps" In reglmentRl red let-tering. The official flag Is ordered dis-played at all Induction ceremonies, graduation exercises, parades and at such other times as authorized by the Surgeon General. Providence Was First. The first hospital in the United States to be approved for Installa-tion of a cadet nurse corps was Providence Hospital In Washington, 1). C, the second being Johns Hop-kins In Baltimore. According to Mrs. Mulcahy, the Providence Hospital corps Is one of the model organizations In the coun-try and under the direction of Sister Rita, superintendent of nurses there for the past 12 years, the cadet corps has been Integrated with the five-yea- r university course which was also inaugurated by Sister Rita several years ago. In other words, at Providence most applicants for cadet nurse training are selected from among girls who have had at least two years' college or university education and when they graduate they not only receive the coveted "RN" or registered nurse degree, but they receive a bachelor of science degree from Catholic University of America, with which the hospital has affiliated for the course. Out of the more than 165 girls In the class at Providence, 107 are college girls. Sister Rita explains that out of an avalanche of applications, she was able to make careful selection of girls with college training, that they make better students and that as a $8,200,783. The new construction has provided facilities for 12,144 students. What will come of these new buildings when the emergency ends has not definitely been decided. Likely they will be declared surplus war properties and be disposed of through the Reconstruction Finance Corporation with preference or pri-ority being given to the Institution where they are constructed. Under the provisions of the law, the government pays hos-pitals which have inaugurated a nurses' training course under the provisions of the act, for maintenance, meals, laundry and rooms and for Indoor and out-door uniforms, text books and other fees. Also, the government pays the hospitals, which in turn pay the girls, $15 per month for the first nine months and $20 per month for the next fifteen months, or until their training Is completed. Where the course runs more than two years, girls get $30 per month for the last ix months. Cost of maintenance averages approximately $35 to $40 per month for each girl. At the present time the public health service has approved 1110 nurses' training schools out of a pos-sible 1250 schools In 6500 hos-pitals in the United States. And, according to records of the pub-lic health service, about 80 per cent of the nursing service In hospitals where such training schools are In progress comes from the cadet nurse students. The course also makes provision for courses for gradu-ate nurses to become supervisors or teachers and approximately 20,000 have been enrolled In these courses, which are short, lasting up to ap-proximately six mouths. According to Information here, the recruitment of nurses for these courses has been one of the most result of this careful selection Prov-idence Hospital has had no disci-plinary problems such as has been true In other hospitals where such care was not exercised In th? elet tlon of applicants. It may be that the experience with the cadet nurse corps at Provi-dence will mark a turning point In the training of nurses throughout the country, since Sister BIta Is planning to abandon the ordinary three-yea- r nurses training course which has been In vogue at most nurse training schools, la favor of the longer course and a college science degree. Although the law provides for an Insignia which may be worn on both indoor and outdoor uniforms, the students at Providence wear the same uniforms as students to regu-lar training without Insignia, and there is no distinction whatever made either In their training or In the treatment they receive by the hospital. And few if any of the cadet nurses at this school wear their outdoor uniforms to make them distinctive from the other girls In a total training school of 250 girls. Large Urban Class. In recruitment of the cadet nurses, according to public health service records, 40 per cent come from towns and rural communities of less than 2500 population. An additional 19 per cent come from towns of less than 5000 and only 9 per cent come from the large metropolitan cities. Mrs. Mulcahy explained this un-usual proportion of trainees from the small towns In the fact that par-ents felt that their daughters would be sheltered In proper environments, that many of them had not been away from their home town com-munities and that they felt safer and more secure In. permitting their entrance In the cadet nurse corps, boj.h as a patriotic move and as a security for their future. There has been little complaint incident to this important training Bolivia's Giuof Is Highest in the' The name of the caphi livia is La paz, "peace."

Farm Indebtedness Is Cut 25 Per Cent In Past Five Years Farmers are using their larger In-comes wisely In reducing their In-debtedness. Many have paid off all their mortgages and others have re-duced their obligations far more rapidly than their schedule of pay-ments required. The total mortgage indebtedness on farms has declined at least 25 per cent during the last five years. Farmers are much bet-ter prepared financially to meet the readjustments that may be neces-sary. In another way farmers are act-lu-wisely In order to avoid heavy losses later. They are trying to keep prices of farms from as land did ia 1919 and 1920, only to be followed by a collapse which was a heavy burden for many years. The danger Is not yet past, for farms are being sold In many cases over 00 per cent higher than in pre-war times. The situation Is becom-ing a little better now and the prospects ure more promising. Merchants and business men in rural communities and smaller towns are preparing to meet changed con-ditions for their prosiierity Is so closely tied up with that of the farmers. Conditions for them are very good, as Indicated by the rise of bank deposits In agricultural re-gions, by higher retail sales and Increased consumer demand for both goods and services. Merchants are trying hard to get the goods for which the demand Is so large. The good Judgment and wise which has already success-fully accomplished so much will help not only the farmers, but also the entire country during the postwar period. We are ready to face what-ever comes. Much has been done and even more Is going to be ac-complished to make the future as prosperous as possible. There has been some unemployment due to closing down of plauts engaged In the manufacture of war material. HUOUSEHOLD HWSSB When clothing is spotted with rain, place a clean, damp cloth on the material and press it with a moderately warm iron. When grease or milk is spilled on a hot stove, sprinkle with salt to remove the unpleasant odor. To make dainty sandwiches, use bread that is at least 24 hours old and slice thin with a sharp knife. Baste a line down center front of the dress you are making and another down center back. Use these lines as guides in fitting. The egg sllcer is good for much besides slicing eggs. Thin, even slices of cooked potatoes or beets may be made with it, and some fruits slice nicely that way. Good Start Made !ln Major Job Of Reconversion Reconversion and all that lt entails between now nnd this time next year presents a black picture if one listens to the predictions of some government and labor lead-ers. The reconversion picture from the viewpoint of business and in-dustry is not so darkly shaded and a spirit of optimism prevails with-in the ranks of Industry In most localities throughout the nation. Insofar as government is con-cerned we ure, almost still unpre-pared for peace. Although the full-tim- e employment bill was Intro-duced last January with urgent recommendations from the late President Roosevelt that It be enacted Into law and later urging by President Truman . . . the bill still rests In a senate pigeonhole And. although there are many ram-ifications to the question of recon-version from war to a peace-tim- e economy, the problem of unemploy-men- t, of lower wages, If only for n short temporary period is predicted will slash the national Income from approximately 102 billions as of now to around 112 billions annually as of January 1, m. And It is un-employment, the human side of re-conversion, which will cane the most suffering. But looking at the picture as peslmlstically as one can It is a (l.r K,nfr"' R nntlo Income of billions to around fifty Mllious which was the nation's Income dur-ing the depression years In the It is a harsh paradox to witness a nation which has won the greatest military victory In history nnd accomplished the most proriM. ous production miracle In the an nals of man, throw up Its hands and predict an army of eight mil". with ,uhnemi)l0Jed b n"t .Spring government doing nnth, about lt 8 Cnalrman Krug of the War pro-duction board In a statement short-ly after the peace emphasized that the actual job of reconversion will be handled by private Industry with pretty much of a hands-o- ff pollcj hy the government. The govern- ment's part he said, will be to bold down Inflation. Well according to the best In- formed persons here In Washing, ton. that is not enough for ment to do. And the record of J" ate industry even In the most lush production year In the nation-- , lis tory has shown that private Indni try alone Is unequal to the task Average Citizen Has Answer to National Welfare There Is considerable difference of opinion with regard to the atti-tude civilians will take during the next few months. Their attitudes will largely determine whether we have a recession of several months' duration and the extent of the re-covery from such a recession. One group thinks that in spite of lower incomes, based on a shorter work week, civilians will have more leisure and spend more. This group would expect a brisk trade based on free spending. Im-portant segments of the federal gov-ernment would seem to favor pol-icies that would lead to free spend-ing accompanied by what might be termed controlled lnflntlon. The other group expects people to be cautious and unwilling to spend their accumulated savings. What will happen probably will be determined by the extent and promptness with which civilian industry absorbs the millions of men being discharged from war Industries, those tempora-rily Idle, and the discharged men from the armed services. The committee for economic de-- velopment has Issued a report which gives business men's estimates of postwar markets for manufactured goods. These estimates are opti-mistic. The committee points out that the postwar years can roughly he divided Into three periods: first, short period of reconversion, which may last through 1!)40 ; second, from 1946 or early 1947, for a year of deferred orders, and the last, period of Although Secretary Anderson In-dicated that meat rationing was on the way out, possibly matter of months, storage stocks are relatively low, and lt is expected that the strong demands for meats will be maintained long enough to absorb the rather heavy movement of cattle ad hogs that Is anticipated during ' the fall and early winter months. Itange conditions hawe been excel-lent, and cuttle men report that the ranchers are in a mood to carry larger than normal supplies of range . uttle over winter rather than to sell them at substantial discounts now. I Washington Highlights . . . Early Congressional consideration will he given to the extension of so-cial security. With the war out of the way the new groups of the popu-lation for which benefits are propos-ed will get a hearing. Experts on Capitol Hill now are pretty definite tn their forecasts for a reduction of Income taxes on 1946 Incomes. This probably will come in the form of a general reduction of about 20 per cent of tax for all in-come groups Look for the end of practically all rationing by the end of the year. No--! body, not even OPA, likes this job. and government claims to be anxious only to continue some kind of con-- I trols over those products which are extremely scarce and might offer fertile fields for black market opera-tions Surplus property handling machin-ery Is scheduled for an overhaul. So Is the entire machinery of govern-ment for that matter. REORGANIZE FARM MARKETING AGENCY Consolidation of more than a doz-en offices and agencies of the De-partment of Agriculture into a new Production and Marketing Adminis-tration has been announced by Sec-retary of Agriculture Clinton P.
