ENGLAND MAPS WAR ON DISEASE

Permanent Dormitories for 2,000,000 During Winter

Being Constructed.

LONDON, Oct. 18 (U. P)—Construction of permanent dormitories to provide .winter “hibernation” for some 2,000,000 men and women was under way today as England prebared for its winter aerial siege With plans to prevent epidemics of colds, influenza and other diseases. Announcement of these phases of the civilian defense program came as agitation for greater facilities for air raid victims reached the House of Lords. : The Duke of Devonshire told the Lords that “the government is pressing with great rapidity provisions for dormitory accommodations—not mere temporary refuges—but places where families would he able to spend the nights during the Coming winter months.”

Medical Authorities Act

His remarks were made in answer to the Earl of Listowel's criticizm of the Government's neglect to provide facilities for civilian air raid vietims. It was learned, meanwhile, that medical authorities were acting to prevent, winter’ epidemics which they admitted possible because of the thousands sleeping in eramped, illventilated shelters and subways and in damp unheated quarters. The medical authorities plan a campaign for voluntary inoculation on a national scale, Medical officers will be assigned public shelters to take charge of systematic disinfection, : Threat Worst in London

Worst threa: of epidemics, it was believed, 1s in London where the shelters and subways are congested nightly. It was hoped the new dormitories would lessen the possibility of disease this winter, But health centers would ‘he established in all cities and towns, Lord Devonshire revealed that London is being evacuated at the rate of 2000 unaccompanied children and and some 20,000 to 24,000 children and their mothers a week. He said that “speaking generally, in the past week there have been no homeless willing to leave their districts for whom no accommodation could be found.”

WASHINGTON, Oct. 18 (U.P.)— French and Belgian babies face death this winter because of a milk shortage, Wayne Chatfield-Taylor,| Red Cross representative to Europe,! said today.

Fditor, Honolulu Star-Builleiin ONOLULU, Oct. 18.—On Nov. 5, when citizens of continental States are voting for a President, those of Uncle Sam's Pacific ocean ferritory will he balloting on the question, “Do you favor statehood for Hawaii?” Thus an issue which has been before the people of this mid-Pa-cific outpost of Americanism for more than 40 years will be for the first time put squarely up ‘to the electorate of the islands. There is no community under the American flag more steadfastly loyal that the Territory of Hawaii. It has Pearl Harbor naval base. Schofield Barracks army post and Hickman Field air depot to remind it constantly of its bonds. And there IS no state more acutely conscious of its obligations to the Federal Government and more willing to live up to these obligations in letter and In spirit. With all this, Hawaii is increasingly alive to the political and ecgnomic discriminations, -disadvantages and handicaps to which a territory is subject while a stale is not.

He said farm i childrgn are in a “relatively better position.”

Prescription Necessary

France and Belgium have long been dependent upon supplies of condensed and powdered milk for their children. Now milk can be obtained ‘only on a doctor's prescription. During the last year, he said, “the. people who' should have been milking the cows and working in the milk factories have been somewhere behind the Maginot Line.” Disease brought on because they {were not milked has set in among the cows, he said, and both countries face the coming winter with milk reserves almost exhausted. The French Red Cross has brought 100 tons from Switzerland, but this can only be used in Paris and is not sufficient for the winter. There has heen no time for re-

186,000,000 Beads a

As Valuable

By JOE COLLIER Prowl around in the history of human culture and what-happens? Inevitably, you bump into beads.

Today, 2eads are the new standard of exchange for highway safety in Indiana. A century ago, according to the small-talk of American folk historians, they were the standards of exchange for Indiana acres. There’s no telling how much land the Indians were smart-talked out of at so many beads an acre. Now night safety on Indiana's highways is being scientifically purchased at approximately 186,000,000 beads a mile. They are glass beads, just as were those that the Indians prized.
