OF IL DUCE’S MEN INTENSE STUDY TO BE MADE IN EFFFORT TO PREVENT SUNSTROKE WHICH IS SE- RIOUS PROBLEM (My Asscetated Press) MASSAUA, Eritrea, Jan. 31.— Death-dealing rays of the sun are undergoing an intense study by Italian ntedical specialists in an effort to prevent sunstroke which already has felled 300 Italian soldiers and workmen. In the Eritrean lowlands, where temperature in January is 90 in the shade and in July around 140, heat is man’s worst enemy. All the other ailments from which it was feared the Italians would suffer, such as typhoid, malaria. and dysentery, are as nothing in the scale with the mortality pro- duced by the sun. Heat Penetrates Helmets White men do not work be- tween. 10 o’clock in the morning and 4 o’clock in the afternoon in mid-summer, but the heat in the other hours still is enough to drop them. They wear pith hel- mets, but the heat comes on through, Doctors here said that fatal heat prostrations have occurred after sundown. In midday, they said, men are required to wear their pith helmets even in the barracks, What causes death, they re- counted, is failure of the body to maintain an equilibrium between the heat of the body and the ont- side heat. If the body tempera- ture “is normally 37 degrees cen~ tigrade and the outside tempera- ture 50, a body unable to com- bat this condition will begin to jump jn temperature, going to 40, 44, 47, 50—and then col- lapse. Medicos Seek Specific If the victim does not die at once, he lies unconscious for three or four days, with bodily functions suspended. When the patient comes out of this state he suffers for days from atrocious headaches. Specialists hope to find some chemical agent that will act as an internal protection against the sun, just as the pith helmet acts as an external protection. They admit they have themselves a difficult task.
