Before the war the United King- ^ dem imported about 2,500 tons of pig bhistles a year. Medical Discovery Hailed Journal of American Medical Association announces a new type of spinal anesthesia, which provides comfortable and painless childbirth. The new method—in use less than a year and described as ‘TOO per cent effective"—was developed by Dr. Robert A. Hingson, left, and Dr. Waldo B. Edwards, right, both officers of the U. S. Public Health Service, stationed at U. S. Marine hospital at Stapleton on Staten Island, N. Y. The technique involves injection of a solution of mety eaine, a cocaine substitute, into the cauda, which is at the lower tip of the spine. The A. M. A. Journal, however, cautions that the method should be used only in hospitals and only by doctors specially trained in this particular technique. Painless Birth Baby and Mother One of the first women to benefit by the new painless childbirth metnoa is Mrs. Shirley Sachs, of Staten Island, N. Y., shown with her baby Natalie, now about a year old. She praises highly the Caudal Analgesia treatment worked out bv Doctors Robert Hingson and Waldo Edwards. It worked so well with her, she says, that an hour after her baby was born she enjoyed a big, juicy steak. Swiss Group Feeds, Shota Children billed by She War MILK TIME—In Toulouse and its suburbs, 10,000 children receive milk and dried fruits daily under supervision of the Red Cross. LUGANO. Switzerland—“No. We won't step fighting. We are guerr illas.” This is the answer given to their Swiss nurses by the Serb children— 400 of whom are now vacationing for three months under the" ausp ices of the Swiss Red Cross at var ious homes in the Tessin. Unlike other children now being brought into Switzerland by the "Secours Suisse aux Enfants vic tims de la Guerre," the Serb child ren. because of difficulties of the language, have not been placed in private homes. This probably is just as well. For no children have prov ed as irrepressible as the little Serbs. But the Swiss know how to get around them. And eventually peace descends. Although it is customary to think of the Red Cross as wholly res ponsible for hearing to ease the sufferings of Europe, often smaller organizations started the work. One of these is ‘iPentr'aide Cuvriere Suisse,” which grew out of a spontaneous action undertak en for the children of Swiss work ers during the 1929-32 depression years. . At that time children of the vil lages which were hardest hit were taken into workers' families in other parts of Switzerland. This same kihd of generous action on the part of simple people of the most limited means was shortly extended beyond Switzerland's TRIM TUMBLER S—Mary Sparks (top) and Betty Hoke of the Los Angeles Athletic club rehearse a difficult gymnastic stunt in preparation for club competition.

In 1934. after the February rev olution in Austria, 2500 families in Switzerland offered to take in chil dren who had suffered in that up rising. At the last minute the Doll fuss government would permit only 700. Trains of refugee children from Paris were organized to replace the children of Vienna. It was the work done in the Spanish Civil War which has since developed into the huge work now undertaken under the patronage of the Swiss Red Cross. Kitchen Census Will Be Taken by Best of Government's Bureaus (Continued from Page One) The reports will be made fre quently and will provide OPA with almck a daily picture of what is go ing on in the kitcheas and dining rooms of American homes. Coupled with reports from producers, whole : alecs and retailers, it should leave OPA no out in forestalling regional or national shortages, surpluses, price changes, or diet deficiencies. Whether these ailments can be corrected will depend on a number of things, over many of which OPA will have no direct control (trans portation, crop failures, abnormal demands from the military forces, etc.) but being able to spot the symtoms quickly in 3,000 represen tative homes should go a long way toward providing immediate cures. I’ll piace my bet now lhat the "Wartime Pood Diary will be one; of OPA’s most effective weapons in getting the job done in the war: months ahead.
