belief that 'sleeping pills' are harm-
loss and therefore can be used at *.vill
by those suffering from insomnia,
Dr. Geo. W. Cox, State Health Of-
ficer, said today that despite the fact
that hypnotic drugs cannot bo sold
without a physician's proscription,
there are many persons who manage
to get a supply of them and who use
them upon the slightest "Xcuse, or
in some cases for no reason at all.
Those who take one of the barbit-
urates in this loose fashion are doing
themselves a physical injustice, the
Doctor stated and added, "What they
need is not a self-prescribed 'harm-
less sleeping tablet', but a physi-
cian's advice.
"There are many people who harm
their health by employing an unpre-
scribed hypnotic to induce sleep," Dr.
Cox said. "More often that not by
various means they will over-stimu-
late themselves, relying upon the
sleeping tablet to soothe their jaded
nerves. Thus, a vicious circle is de-
veloped, and the habit-forming prac-
tice stealthily grows, with loss of
vitality and maximum health being
among the least of the penalties in-
volved.

Those persons who of their own
accord are taking one of the hypno-
tics to induce sleep should realize
that they are tampering criminally
with one of nature's basic blessings
and necessities, natural sleep, the
Doctor stated. If addicted to these
drugs, the family physician may be
needed to load the victim out of the
need for them, but whether in need
of professional aid or not, those in-
dulging in this harmful habit should
for their health's sake terminate it
immediately.
Social Security
Director Discusses
Extended Coverage
San Antonio, Tex.—Changes in the
present Social Security Act urged in
the Social Security Board's eighth an-
nual report would benefit particularly
the three States of Region X—Tex-
as, Louisiana, and New Mexico—
James B. Marloy, Regional Director,
said today. This is especially true,
Mr. Marloy said, of the Board's pro- to activation of the laundry, superin
posals to extend the old-age and sur-
vivors insurance program to people
working in occupations not now cov-
ered by it.
The Board recommends that some
20 million workers now excluded be
given the same right to earn social
insurance protection as industrial and
commercial workers.
Since the Act now insures only wage
and salary earners in industry and
commerce, and since southern States
are predominantly agricultural, Mr. j
Marloy pointed out that the Board's its cost borne by
proposals would bring proportionately particularly those
large numbers of southern workers
under the contributory insurance sys-
tem. "Coverage and benefit payments

in Alamo Heights, with E. L. Luke

Selective Service
Calls Supt. Of
Post Laundry
Camp Swift, Tex., Feb. 17.—Selec-
tive Service hit hard at Camp Swift
when A. B. Jacobs, civilian superin-
tendent of the Post laundry, received
orders to report for induction on Feb.
16 to his hoard in Dallas. The order
followed expiration of a deferment
period and "Jake" under whose su-
pervision the laundry has ranked as
No. 1 of such installations in the
entire Army, expects soon to be wear-
ing the O.D. or khaki, as the case
my be, with which he is so familiar.
Jacobs came to Camp Swift prior
tended installation of machinery and
equipment, staffed the big plant and
placed it in operation. Millions of
pieces of G.I. clothing and linen have
passed through his washers and man-
gels and the laundry has received
many official praises. Prior to com-
ing to Camp Swift Jacobs was con-
nected in an executive capacity with
the laundry at Fort Sam Houston.

For instance, there's Loon J. Liv-
ingston of Dallas, radio man third
class when he was with the fleet, who
has had two years of service in the
South Pacific. He was on both the
"Hornet" and the "Northhampton"
when they want down. But the most
exciting part of it all, he says, was
"coming back to the good old U. S.
A.!"
Robert Ledridge of Island City,
Ore., saw a lot of action as radio
man, second class, on a destroyer in
the South Pacific. "I'd rather serve
on a destroyer than any other type
of ship." Ledridge says.
Glen Thornton of Abilene, as radar
man, third class, saw action in the
North African area. He admits that
he had a few submarine scares, but
can't go into details.
Jack Williams, Fort Worth, form-
er aviation chief radio man, has been
in three major and 15 minor engage-
ments. Duke Bolen, Jackson, Ala.,
with three and one-half years of ser-
vice, saw action in several of the early
Pacific naval engagements and re-
ceived a citation for valor.
These men, and others, are now a
part cf the Navy's V-12 training pro-
gram at T. C. U. Their goal is Mid-
shipman's School and a commission,
when they will return to active duty.

Regarding proposals for expansion j quate remuneration- very probably
of the social security program, as
distinguished from the proposal for
extension of old-age and survivors
insurance to farmers and other self-
employed persons, the report calls at-
tention to the burden of sickness and
more nearly adequate than that in
customary circumstances—to all prac-
titioners and institutions furnishing
medical and health services, and to
guarantee the continued independence
of non-governmental hospitals."
