WASHINGTON, Nov. 6 (U. P.).— ‘The battle of Guadalcanal raged today on two fronts—barely 20 miles apart—with Americans holding the initiative, capturing more valuable equipment and inflicting comparatively heavy losses on the Japanese. "The battle for the strategic South sea. islands, which is three months old today, has reverted temporarily to a land baitle on’ Guadalcanal island. Last month the fighting raged for two weeks on land, sea and air not only on Guadalcanal but in the waters and on the islands for hundreds of miles. Although American planes and warships continue to blast enemy positions gn Guadalcanal, thexe has been no niention for 10 -days in naval communiques of enemy air or naval activity.

on a long-time basis and with the idea of building up rather than tearing down. You don’t win wars by ' tearing down essential home services.” G.O. P. County Chairman Henry E. Ostrom announced that he was “in full accord with what Gen.

Tyndall had to say on this impor-

tant subject.”

The personnel situation is espe-j

cially serious at City hospital which already is suffering from a 30 per cent reduction in its staff.

Superintendent Alarmed

For two days now, Dr. Charles W. Myers, hospital superintendent, has spent most of his time going from one department to another, urging workers to stay at their posts despite the change in administrations. “One key technician yesterday threatened to leave to accept a higher-paying post already offered to him but I induced him to stay, explaining that the new administration probably won’t change the personnel here because they just can’t replace them,” Dr. Myers said. The superintendent warned, that if the hospital loses any more employees the efficiency of the whole institution will be dangerously impaired. In the last few months the staff of resident physicians and internes dropped from 70 to 51 and most of

the latter are first-year internes.

He pointed out that formerly the medical staff was kept intact by | second-year internes who take over surgery and other advanced work. “However, now we can't keep them any longer than a year because they automatically leave for the armed forces,” he said. The problem of nurses, of course, is just as bad or worse. “The shortage of trained nurses has become so critical that we have had to take high school girls and give them short training and put them into nursing work,” Dr. Myers said. He declined to talk about what might happen in the event of an epidemic emergency. Nobody else around the hospital will talk about

THOSE OVERWEIGHT | CALLED UNPATRIOTIC

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.—To be overweight in these days when every

ounce of food must be used wisely is unpatriotic as well as unhealthy and unesthetic, health authorities of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. charge in their latest statistical bulletin. Currently used tables of average weights for women are criticized for showing increases with advancing age which are neither necessary nor desirable. A large scale study by the company has “definitely shown that at the young adult ages a moderate degree of} overweight was beneficial, but that beginning at about 35, the advantage lay with women of average weight. In middle age and beyond, the underweights had the best longevity record. Frank obesity was bad at every age.” The current tables allow 13 to 14 pounds increase in weight for short women between 20 and 50, and 15

women at these ages... These in-

pounds or ‘more increase for tallf

creases; the life insurance company charges, reflect the effect of con-| tinuing to eat the same ‘amount of | food while physical activity - de-' creases. i They propose a new set of “ideal”, weight tables for women over 25 | which take into account differences in body build and height. According to these tables, women over 25 of small frame and a height of five feet five inches, with shoes, should weigh between 119 and 128 pounds in. ordinary clothing. |
