America buys; ‘for even in peace time she was tésponsible for buying at least 85 per cent of all the things purchased. Today with men away, the women “of the. country are doing . close to 100 per cent of the buying. But. even worse is in store if little things: ‘aren’t carried now. As delivery’ “frnoks wear out, « deliveries. of

life from producer to store will be curtatled until even the baby’s milk may. not be on hand when mother goes to ‘the store to buy it. Already as a part of the program for maintaining and conserving: de-1 livery trucks, the office of defense transportation has ordered delivery: mileage cut by at least 25 per cent. That means that slreddy fewer deliveries are being made £0 the grocer by the meat packer, the dairy company, the cereal’ “maker and those others who supply’ him with food for America to buy. . Department stores and other merchants who deliver direct to the _ customer have been ordered to limit their trips to a single call per day to one address. This cuts mileage, saves wear and tear on the. truck and saves on precious tires, So look for the women trundling’ a child’s express wagon down the street or proudly exhibiting a swollen twine shopping bag. They've responded to their country’s call. , , . “To. arms!”

Health— Few Fi irst Aid Measures Used In Air Raids

Science Service Writer THE TOURNIQUET, at once the pride and worry of the new first alder, is rarely used by the rescue parties who in Britain apply what little: first ald can be given - to 'gictims under- actual air raid conditions. i This observation is one of a number reported by Dr. George Baehr, chief medical officer of the office of} civilian defense, in the Journal of} the American Medical Association. “The experiences of Britain under air raid conditions have dispelled many preconceived notions concerning first aid,” he stated after a recent inspection of emergency facilities in England and Scotland.

"BURNS ARE COVERED only|" with - sterile gauze until fhe" victim reaches the hospital. ~ Traction splits, Dr. Baehr found, are not used unless the victims must be transported long distances over country roads. . But, Dr. Baehr points out;: use .of

the victim has to travel only a few miles over paved city streets to a hospital, especially since the darkness and conditions during a raid make hurried application of traction difficult or impossible.
