(Ernie Pyle is on vacation and at the request of readers we are reprinting some of his favorite columns,)

GARDEN CITY, Kas., June 13, 1936.—If you would like to have your heart broken, just come out here. v This is the dust storm country. It is the saddest land I have ever seen. Coming in here from Colorado Springs, a one-day’s drive, you pass through both the sand storm and the dust storm regions. Eastern Colorado is a mild form of desert, and hence rather sandy. When the wind blows, you have a sand storm. As you get into Kansas, the soil becomes richer and softer, and when it gets dry and powdery and the wind blows, you have a dust storm. We were still in Colorado. Far ahead to the east were faint, hazy clouds of sand. The approach to a sand storm is a dark and chilling experience.

~ A Desolate Scene

We came into Kansas. It had been raining for 12 hours. The earth was wet, and we were thus spared the spectacle of a Kansas dust storm. But since the air was clear, we could better see the terrible desolation that is western Kansas, The land is as flat a billiard table, The horizon is far, far away, You can see for miles and miles, I saw not a solitary thing but bare earth, and a few lonely empty farm houses. There was not a tree, or a blade of grass, or a fence, or a field. Not a flower or a stalk of corn, or a dog or a cow, or & human being,

The Gallup Poll

Congress has set aside two billion dollars for the Army, Navy and air forces for the next 12 months. President Roosevelt has now asked Congress to increase this by another one billion dollars. Do you approve or disapprove of this increase?

The yellow sand haze ahead grew heavier and darker, making the atmosphere a queer yellow, the way it is sometimes just before a cyclone, To the right were rolling, foreboding rain clouds, dust mixing with them. And over to the left, over where the wind came from, were pillars of sand. Giant vellow columns, miles away, rising from the horizon clear up into the sky. The wind howled. It came at least 40 miles an hour across the prairie from the north, It was hard to steer the car. The sand film steadily grew thicker around us. darkened the atmosphere. The country was slightly rolling. Tn the vallevs it was better. But on the rises, the sand-laden wind

MORE MEMORABILIA for the hook. all of which have something to do with materia medica this time. Ttem 1: The first taxpayer to be treated in the City Hospital was a man who had the hard luck to fall out of a hotel window. That was back in the Sixties. The man died and legend has it that the $60 found on his person was spent to buy 60 soft maples with which to decorate the hospital grounds. The record is impeccable, however—certainly nothing for the State Medical Journal to worry about. The dead man had no heirs—see? Item 2: During the Civil War, the soldiers around here were nursed by four Sisters of Charity. When Sisters Athanasius, Henrietta, Frances Ann and Helena had finished their war work, they established themselves in a little frame house near the old rolling mills in the neighborhood of what is now Merrill St. and Capitol Ave. There was no telling when a man got hurt down there. After that, they moved to a bigger house on Georgia St., near St. John's Church, where Sister Henrietta had charge. Next move was to a double house near the old streetcar barns at the Depot. With the mules acting up the way they did, the Sisters couldn't have picked a better place. They stayed there until St. Vincent's Hospital, at Vermont and Liberty Sts., was built especially for them in 1881.

The First Cholecystotomy

Item 3: Dr. John Stough Bobbs was the first, anywhere in the world, to perform the operation of cholecystotomy (gall stones to you), Mary Wiggins was the beneficiary of Dr. Bobb's skill. She was taken to the third floor of Vinton & Kiefer's drug store at the southwest corner of Meridian and Pearl Sts, and it was there, on June 15, 1867, in a bare harnlike room made to serve the purpose of a hospital that Miss Wiggins was relieved of her trouble

“arrival, he got something in his eye.

Today, because of the rain, the ground held firm and would not give itself up to the wind, But yesterday it did, and tomorrow, after the bright sun, it will again, The air will gradually fill with the earthy powder, and people in its path can’t breathe, and houses will be closed. An the soil will blow away from around the roots of things, and pile like snowdrifts against the barns. As I drove along I thought of all the smart aleck jokes about President Roosevelt's 100-mile wide

belt, of trees. A belt of trees, or a belt of soy beans, or a belt of billiard cues stuck in the ground-—any- | thing that might faintly halt the march of the destroyving wind across the face of the sarth-—-seems to me worth trying.

in charge of an Englishwoman, especially engaged for the purpose by Dr. Bobbs. Nobody remembers her name. Six weeks later, contrary to all predictions, Miss Wiggins got up feeling fit as a fiddle, As a matter of fact, she got married—Rurnsworth was the name—and lived 46 years longer. Almost long enough to celebrate her golden anniversary. She died at the age of 77. Dr. Bobbs didn’t have the same Juck. He died three years after performing the operation. Item 4: According to data left by Dr. Milton M. Wishard, it was Dr. John Chambers who introduced antiseptic methods in the treatment of wounds around here. That was in 1884 at the City Hospital. Dr. Chambers used carbolized gauze, also a carbolic spray during the time of operation. About the same time, Dr, W. N. Wishard, who was then superintendent of the hospital, got wind of the technique used in the Lying-in-Hospital of New York.

Some Were Skeptical

Tremendously impressed, he decided to adopt antiseptic methods in the obstetric ward. Almost im-

mediately, deaths from puerperal sepsis declined to almost nothing. Some skeptics shook their heads, however, They insisted that the tearing down of the old hospital building and replacing it with a new one was the reason why puerperal peritonitis was licked. Item 5: Dr. J. L. Thompson was among the first in Indianapolis to specialize. On one of his trips abroad he visited Vienna and, simultaneously with his It hurt like

everything and so he went to see an oculist who at that time had an international reputation. For some reason, probably because old time spe- | cialists handled patients with less style, Dr, Thomp- | son didn’t have to make an appointment. I stress the point because I want it clearly understood that Dr. Thompson entered the great man's office as an anonymous patient. Otherwise, my story won't click. The Viennese oculist removed the splinter in a jiffy and did it so cleverly that Dr. Thompson told | him he was pretty good.

returns show, The President's program, designed to increase the potency of the U. S. Army, Navy and air forces, was laid before Congress a few days ago. In the same period, while Congress has been considering the measure, the Institute has put its survey machinery in operation in each of the 48 states.

The response has been almost equally strong from Democrats and Republicans, from rich and r, and from voters living in the traditionally “isolationist” Middle West as well as those living along the seaboards.

Voters were asked: “Congress has set aside two billion dollars for the Army, Navy and air forces for the next 12 months. President Roosevelt has now asked Congress to increase this by another one billion dollars. Do you approve or disapprove of this increase?” While German troops have heen thrusting deeper and deeper into French territory, American voters have replied as follows:

Approve extra sums R6%

Disapprove

Significantly enough. only one person in 20 (5%) said he was undecided or without an opinion on the question. “We can't afford to be caught unprepared for whatever the future brings” . . . “national defense should come first” . . . “if we're not prepared to defend ourselves now, the quicker we get prepared the better” , . . these are some of the typical comments of rank-and-file voters reached in all parts of the United States. Frequently voters remarked that it seemed especially necessary to increase the size of the air forces. » » ” LTHOUGH the man in the street is by no means a military expert, it is interesting to note that he has been more anxious to expand the air divisions of American national defense than either the land or sea forces, according to repeated Institute studies over the last five years. During the same time many bona fide experts have maintained a “wait-and-see’ attitude about. the value of aircraft.

The American public's reaction fo President Roosevelt's request for a billion-dollar emergency defense, appro-

priation. has been an overwhelming “yes,

to see U. S. air forces strengthened.

Voter

8 were particularly anxious

Equally revealing of the state of mind of the American people today is the fact that a great majority say they would be willing to pay additional taxes to cover President Roosevelt's emergency defense requests. Presitient Roosevelt actually left this question on the doorstep of Congress in his special defense message. The President did not specify whether he thought the additional billion should be covered hy a special “defense tax” or by further Government borrowing. In the past, Congress has always been chary of levying new taxes in an election year, But the Institute survey asked voters throughout the United States: “Would you be willing to pay a special tax to cover this increased expenditure?” The answers were:

Willing to pay tax Not willing to pay tax..... 2

Five months ago, in a previous Institute survey, a majority of

voters took a similar stand, com=ing out in favor of a “pay-as-you-go” plan for national defense in preference to additional Government borrowing. Most in favor of paying for defense by extra taxes were the very groups which would, in all likelihood have the largest, tax sums to pay-—voters in the upper and middle income classes. »

N the present survey the vote of A different income groups on willingness to pay a special defense tax is as follows: Not Willing Willing Upper Income (More than $40 a Week) Middle Income ($20 to $40 a Week) . .

Lower Income (Less than $20 a Week)... 74 26

standing shoulder-to-shoulder in essential agreement. This does not mean that rank-and-file Repuhlicans have ceased opposing the New Deal, or that they would give the Administration a blank check even in the field of national defense, But 1t does indicate that on the fundamental question of increasing U. S. defenses there is no party clash whatsoever,

The vote by parties is:

. Washington

WASHINGTON, May 27—A tryout campaign for intervention in the war with everything short of men has been begun by Senator Claude Pepper of Florida, a young New Deal Democrat who is very much in favor in Administration circles. His drive—thus far a oneman affair—will be worth watching, for it is definitely a feeler, based upon the belief that the country is thinking ahead of Congress about the war. It may be taken for granted that the Administration will watch most closely the public reaction. Senator Pepper's start has been made under shadow of considerable indifference in Congress. He first proposed a resolution to make our Army and Navy airplanes available to the Allies. The Senate Foreign Relations Committee tabled that proposition. Then the young Senator, who achieved debating laurels at Harvard, went to the Senate floor Thursday afternoon and made a most remarkable but, little noticed speech. He stopped just short of calling for a declaration of war against Germany,

mines are operating with a minimum of labor saving machinery and everything that is humanly possible has been done to provide work for as many men as possible under the circumstances. This is all the more noteworthy when one takes into consideration the fact that competition is very keen in the coal business and the installation of modern machinery by the other companies has made that competition the harder to meet. “The officials of the coal company are also to be commended for their treatment of the aged coal miners, since not a single employee has been laid off due tc advanced age.” Next we stopped off at the little WPA nursery school in a room over a garage. In that one room the food for the children is cooked in a corner. Their cots are put out when it is tine to sleep.
