RAILROADS USED SMOKE SIGNALS Denver, —(UP) —Railroad signal systems have traveled a long way since engineers sent up a smoke screen to let the other fellow know the track was in use, but then, so has F. A. Weideman. Welde.man, pilot of the Columbine Denver-Chicago limited ,has been riding in an engine cab for 32 years. "We had to use Indian methods of signaling for safety," Weideman said. "We'd make the old fire box belch up a smoke cloud that could be seen for miles. "If any one else was using the track, he would take the hint and 'dear it.” After’32 years of ridin? the veteran engineer d -dared there was much' about life one could learn from railroading. “Every man is his own engineer" he philosophied. "He goes down the track of life and has to observe the go ahead as well as the danger lights." He maintains there still is a career in railroading for the young man. but said it was not a learn-in-ten lessons proposition. 0 LUNGS TREATED LIKE AUTO TIRE Kansas City, Mo., —(UP) —Every adult probably has had tuberculosis some time in life, according to Dr. Alton Ochsner, of New Orleans. At the time he thought he had a cold and natural resistance disposed of the case, he believes. Dr. Ochsner is professor of surgery at Tulane University, a post he has held five years. He visited Kansas City as a delegate to the fall conference of the Kansas City Southwest Clinical society. Jokingly, he explained that his hobby was in letting the air out of somebody's lungs. He went on to say that the principle followed in treating some cases of tuberculosis is to collapse one lung. Unused, the diseased part has a chance to heal. One method of collapsing a lung, he said, was to inject air that creates an outside pressure greater than the inside pressure of the lung. Like a leaky tire, the patient has to be pumped up every few days When the lung is healed, the air is let out and lung expands. o Former Deputy Killed Washington, Pa.. Nov. 3. —(U.R)— James Spragg. 27, former deputy ! sheriff, was killed instantly today when two bombs exploded in what was believed possible retaliation for Spragg's activities in the coal strike here. Spragg, who resigned his deputy’s commission three months ago, was caught in the second blast after he clihibed through a window to investigate the first explosion in the store owned by his grandfather. o Club Plans Aerial Police Radio System Waukegan, 111., —(UP) —An aerial police radio system, which will enable police partol airplanes to receive instructions while in the air and thus flash locations of bandit cars to police headquarte.s, has been worked out by a local radio club which plans to cooperate with local police in catching criminals. <The system was tried out and found satisfactory recently, and it is planned to install equipment in two police planes at the local airport. The system w.as tested under adverse conditions and allowed unbroken communications with an automobile cruising county highways and a motorboat in Lake Michigan. So far as is known here, use of* a radio telephone by cruising airplanes as an aid to police is a new idea. o Laval Calls Cabinet Paris, Nov. 3.— (U.R) — Premier Pierre Laval explained to the cabinet today his achievements on the mission of the United States and the ministers expressed warm approval. A definite decision to open parliament Nov. 12 was reached by the cabinet. Laval will make his most important declaration on foreign policy on the opening day. explaining his recent conferences in Berlin, London, Washington and with visiting statesmen in Paris.

COOKING FEVER ' HITS BOYS IN I HIGH SCHOOLS Chicago's Athletes Proud Os Their Culinary Ability Chicago, —(UP) —There is a back to the home movement on in Chicago— a-.: it’s centered in high schools ampngjt the boys. Nor are they afraid of telling about their accomplishments, taking no though of being called "sissies.” To them, domestic attainments are not only a "woman's job" and do , not necessarily indicate a leaning ! toward bachelorhood. The discovery of the culinary a- i bility was, made by a south side I high school editor with a nose for : news. He began a survey among his I classmates. "What can you do in the kitchen?” I was the question. “What can’t I do," snorted a sedate senior. "1 can make oatmeal, fry eggs, make tea or coffee, and get up a steak dinner, with a baker’s cake thrown in. More than that I I can grab the darning basket,.: patch my socks, sew on a button I and press my suit."

"Fry frog’s legs to a queen's taste,’ shot back another. "I can fry steaks and chops which would do justlej '1 _i $5 banquet," he went on. “T. away I cook eggs not only makes tUcm taste good but look good.” Others have their specialities, such as spaghetti, potato pancakes, fudge and apple sauce, while all sew. A freshman boasted of his bacon and eggs and stews, while a senior modestly admitted his proficiency with chops. 0 Cleaning Pewter Pewter is a soft metal and only very tine scourers, such as fine whiting, rouge or fine rottenstone mixed with oil. should be used for cleaning it.
