DYING GERMAN ‘WARNS BRITISH OF GAS DANGER

Nazi Planes Would Have to!

Fly Low to Scatter Poison Fumes.

By PAUL MANNING Times Special Writer

BONDON, Oct. 14.—A young Ger-

man pilot died recently in a British |:

hospital. Six weeks of medical care failed to overcome the effect of a three-second machine gun burst. More significant than the death of this lone soldier were his last words, utteréd in payment for the nursing he never expected to receive: “Please hedd my warning and never take a step without a gas mask. That is all I can say.” Whether German planes will sud-. denly appear at some hour and begin spraying crowded London with deadly gas is purely conjecture and needs more. than the implied belief some possibly irrational German oy. Yet signs are beginning to creep up indicating that gas may be used

blitz campaign of using bigger explosives of a more deadly nature fails to panic the subsistence level section of this city’s population.

Do Accusations Presage Attack?

Nazis have recently ordered every German civilian to equip himself with a Government gas mask. The British are now conducting a quiet campaign urging .people to never move without their mask. The Nazi command has accused the British of using gas against the German civilian population — a statement which military authorities here emphatically ‘deny. They point out that the Nazi usually preceed an attack with accusations of this kind. With the evidence mounting that gas may be used, some well-in-formed neutral observers, who believe events certainly will get worse before they improve, are wondering if London can take gas attacks as well as high explosives and still come up smiling.

Home Office Confident

The Home Office does not believe that anyone should “be unduly perturbed about gas, because the only efficient way to use gas is to spray it from planes which must fly low. And planes which fly low can be easily brought down by anti-air-craft fire.” Events of the past three weeks disprove this comforting thought. The anti-aircraft barrage of this city has proven to he ineffective against planes bombing London by night. If German planes can release bombs during the night hours without seeming abandon, there is little to prevent their spraying gas the

Princess Feels

"LONDON, Oct. 14 (U. P.). — Princess Elizabeth, doing her bit for the war-wracked empire she is to rule some day, appealed to children throughout the world by radio yesterday to join in making it a “better and happier place” when tomorrow comes. . The 14-year-old Princess made - her maiden radio speech with regal confidence and the sure-foot-ed clarity of a veteran. From some secret spot safe from Nazi bombs, she sent around the world a.child’s message of courage, cheerfulness and hope.

“We know, every one of us, that in the end all will be well, for God will care for ys and give us victory and peace,” she said. “And when peace comes, remember it will be for us, the children of today, to make the world of orrow a better and happier plee.”

RADIO SURGERY FOR ARMY IS ADVISED

Copyright 1940 by Science Service CLEVELAND, Oct. 14.—Radioknives will be used by American army surgeons on future war casualties, if the recommendation made by Col. Gustavus M. Blech, U.S. Army, at a meeting here of the Military Surgeons of the United States is followed. Using a high frequency electric current instead of scissors and scalpel for surgical operations is a most helpful means of caring for wounds, Col. Blech said,” because electrosurgery reduces bleeding, shock and post-operative pain and assures definite protection against infection. This method was recommended for wounds of the extremities which according to statistics constitute the majority of war casualties. New methods of caring for the wounded must be adopted to meet modern war conditions, Col. Blech declared. The care of soldiers wounded at the firing line presents the same problems but new methods are required for the back areas of the army, he said. In the Polish campaign, he pointed out, well-established and. fully

sulfants were established yond the range of artillery so tH&t the seriously wounded and injured could be held over a week before being evacuated to the home hospitals.

CROWTH STEADY SINCE FOUNDING

‘Hard Work, Hard Play and Good Manners’ Is Theme, Says Bowditch.

By EARL HOFF

Indianapolis Is the home of the only non-military private boys’ school in the state, Park School for Boys. : It’s an all-man school down to the tiniest third-grader, who lugs a football around on the athletic field after class hours. It's also a school where every boy says “sir” to nis instructors. It’s a school where every boy gets his lessons every day, for there's no dodging the teacher’s eye at recitation periods in classes that number a dozen pupils. > And it’s a school where teacners and pupils work closely together and the difference disappears firequently when the lesson gets interesting.

Seven Men Founded School ;

Park School grew out of the idea of seven Indianapolis men, Frederic M. Ayres, Dr. Owen Odell, Louis Huesmann, William P. Herod, Oscar Schmidt, Bert McBride and Earle C. Howard, all of whom were educated in the East and who desired to found a country day school in the City for their sons. Forming an organization with other parents, they took over the Brooks School in 1920, then locates at 1535 Central Ave. In 1923 the school purchased the Carl G. Fisher estate on the Cold Springs Road. The Fisher residence became the administration building where the headmaster’s office is located as well as classrooms and the school dining room. A glassed-in tennis court was made into a gymnasium. Lower school boys went to class in a converted greenhouse. In 20 years Park School has grown until the enrollment is slightly past 100 and there are 15 teachers under J. Francis Bowditch, headmaster.

All Turn Out for Sports

Boys in the third through the sixth grades belong to the Lower School. In the Junior or Upper School are the seventh and eighth grade boys. The High School in-

.{cludes- the ninth through the 12th

grades. ' After the school bell rings at 3 p. m., every boy turns out for two hours of sports, football and basketball during the winter, baseball and track in the spring. In spare time boys find time for the Glee Club and Orchestra, club work and dramatics. . Mr. Bowditch, who came here from Milton Academy, Milton, Mass., last year, is the third headmaster at Park School. The first was James T. Barrett, who was at Park School for eight years and the second was Clifton O. Page.

“Hard Work, Hard Play”

The theme of the school, Mr. Bowditch says, is that every boy should have an outlet in something in which he can succeed, if not class work, then athletics or dramatics or some other field. “Hard work, hard play, manners and clean co-operative living.” is the way he puts it. Park School is the kind of a school where you'll hear a youngster on the football field say, in all seriousness: “May I tackle now, sir?”

BRITISH BAN PLAYING OF CATHEDRAL ORGAN

LONDON, Oct. 14 (U. P.).—The roof of famous St. Paul’s Cathedral was described as unsafe today as a result of recent bomb explosions that wrecked the high altar. Experts said that the roof would be lifted, repaired and then replaced. They prohibited playing of the cathedral organ because it was feared the vibration might bring down the roof. Members of thé cathedral staff will carry out the restoration. =~

10 AGED STATUES FOUND

NAPLES, Oct. 14 (U. P.).—Divers working’ in the Bay of Naples have found 10 well preserved statues of the ancient Greek school. The find was regarded as so important that archeologists came by airplane from Rome to study the statues. They will be sent to Rome. -
