Portable Hospitals Follow
U. S. Troops Through Jungle
United States army medical detachments care for the
wounded in portable dispensaries and base hospitals amidst
the background of jungle warfare in the South Pacific. So
trained are the medical personnel to cope with jungle under
brush that soldiers wounded in action can be given first aid,
frequently within ten minutes. Major operations are often
performed within thirty minutes of the casualty.
First aid stations are found within 50 to 100 yards of the
foremost fighting lines, and
litter bearers dart in and out
of the underbrush picking up
the wounded, and carrying
them to battalion first aid sta
tions. Jungle fighting knows
no curfew, and twenty-four
hours of the day doctors with
trained helpers are on duty at
these first aid stations.
In picture at top two members
of a medical detachment ready
their portable hospital equipment
for movement up to the front.
The detachment is trained to
stand up under long marches over
the roughest terrain, as shown in
picture above. Here stretchers are
being used to portage the supplies.
Patients leave the portable hos
pitals the follouing day and are
carried on litters to clearing sta
tions, some three or four miles
further to the rear. These hos
pitals are very complete. Almost
every type of wound or jungle
disease can be treated.

Retentive Minds
Many psychologists believe that
everything we have heard, said
or experienced in our lives is re
tained in the subconscious mind,
but that most of these details rare
ly return except under exception
al circumstances.
Classic case cited is that of an
illiterate servant girl who, while
delirious, repeated numerous pas
sages in Hebrew, Greek and Latin
which she had overheard a for
mer employer recite in his study.
SNAPPY FACTS
ABOUT
RUBBER
Laboratory Vests demonstrate that
rubber con bo modo to stretch
from 50 to lOOO percent or
to have no stretch at all, as In
hard rubber.
A cubical piece of about half an inch
of the substance we cow know as
rubber was selling for three shillings
in London art shops in 1770. It was
then called rubber because it could
erase pencil marks.
The first articles of rubber to ba
manufactured wore clothing and
shoos* ^
American seamen are now equipped
with rubber life-saving suits weigh
ing slightly over 14 pounds. This
new buoyant suit features a whistle,
flashlight, knife and yellow hood and
gloves to attract rescuers. Weighted
shoes keep the wearer upright in
the water.

IT ALL started with a bright idea
* for making a simple, painted
coffee table from odds and ends.
The sketch at the lower left gives
the dimensions and shows the sim
ple construction. Two end sec
tions were made first; the top and
sides of these being fastened to
gether with metal angles, as illus
trated. A shelf was then nailed
in and a % by 3-inch board nailed
across the back of it. Two boards
for the top of the table were then
screwed to the end sections.
So far the table was substantial
but crude and that is where the
lady with the needle came in. The

Not This Time
A woman, visiting the movies,
could find only two aisle seats,
one behind the other. Wishing to
sit with her sister, she cautiously
surveyed the boy in the next seat.
Finally she leaned over and whis

Without even turning his head,
but twisting his mouth and shield

muttered: “Cut it out, my aunt’s

A well-known author met an old Ne

cheerful in spite of having had more
than his share of life's troubles.
”How have you managed to retain

“Well, sah, Ah’ll tell you,” replied
Uncle Joe, **Ahse jest learned to co-op
