Without warning, the vibrant life of the renowned auctioneer ended Saturday night from a heart attack, just as h<» was preparing to retire fur the day. Colonel Remi< t. he waH known from coasttoi oast and across the northern and southern borders, was a dynamic figure on the auction platform. His successful career covered many years and his ability as a salesman also embraced the distinction of being one of the foremost livestock auih oiitics in the country.

From the great ranches of the south and west and wherever fine cattie was raised, came the call tor his services, including his appearance at the saleg of tin* International Livestock Show. 11 e was known by the appellation of Colonel In the nation's leading sales centers. Possibly the finest contribution to his profession was Ills establishing of the Reppert School of Auctioneering in this city, a quar-ter-century ago last January. From this school many of the country's ablest auctioneers and community leaders were trained and prepared for successful careers. Colonel Reppert brought fame to his own home community, for without doubt he was Decatur's most widely known citizen. For the la< k of college education he supplanted unbounded enthusiasm and educated himself, rising to the pinnacle in his own chosen pro tension, to which he devoted bis life Colonel Reppert was an enthusiastic booster for his home community, always stressing its goml points and advantages. Born on a farm, he had a natural love for the land and acquired farms, including Belmont park east of the city where In recent years he cherished those boars which each visit to the scenic place brought to him. To his daughter and son. we «** tend our sympathies in tho death of their kindly father, and express our sorrow at the passing of a most famous native son.

Hosoital Care Only tor Severe Burns

By Herman N. Bundesen, M.D. ACCIDENTS ought iiH to happen. but sines thsy do, we should all have some advance knowledge of how to handle them. Now, some accident caees can very properly be given first-aid treatment .it home during the time it lakes the doctor to arrive, but not those involving severe burns A deep and widespread burn endangers life and challenges the best that medical science can offer. Moments Precious Every moment is precious, so, if ever you arc faced with such a situation, don't waste time trying to relieve the patient at home Hush him to the hospital, because only a hospital Is equipped to give prompt treatment adequate to the emergency. Sever burn* arc dangerous from many standpoints. In the first place, they cause a condition known a* shock or collapse with lowered blood pressure and. often, unconsciousness. Secondly, there Is a loss of protein because of th*' large amount of the fluid part of the blood which accumulates on the burner! surface. ThU means that the blood Is being robbed of itr> fluid and of protein* essential to the nourishment of body tissues, at a dangerously rapid rate. Losses Made Good If life is tu be saved, troth losses must be made good without delay. The best way of doing this, according to Dr. Somers H. Sturgis of the U. S. Army Medical Corps, ir by au injection of blood plasma or the fluid part of the blood. The plasma must be given early and

In sufficient amount. If plaema U not available, whole blood may be Med. A pressure dressing on the burned area may help to r ut down the fluid loss. In the next two to ten days, injections of whole blood into a vein are advisable. The patient should Ire given plenty of foode rich in protein such as meat, milk, and eggs, ami plenty of wilier must be supplied. Mixtures of amino acids given by mouth may prove helpful Amino acids are the substances from which proteins are formed. Some alkaline substance, such as baking sod*, may also be recommended to keep th* urine alkaline. Danger d Infection A second danger from burns is the occurrence of Infection. The use of penicillin and the sulfonamide drugs may be helpful in combating thin infection or preventing It. Once the patient's general con dllion sr satisfactory, thought must he given to the treatment of the burned area Itself. Various forms of treatment, such as sulfonamide preparations and ointments of penicillin and other substances. have been adv Wed in the early stage*. latter on, the burned area must lie covered with skin and for this purpose skin grafting is cmployed. Os course, whenever a burn is severe, the patient should be put into a hiwpital at once if it Is possible, If not. call the doctor imine dlately. He will be able to improve method < whereby emergency treatment can be given at home.

She pursed ncr Ups. "1 do nave some homework to do." He stood up, not quite sure of whether that was his cue to go out This light persiflage was tine for an exit That would be best to pick up later on. “IT that's the case, I*U be stepping along. I’ve got business myself." "Business?** Her eyebrows rose. "See a man. Reconnaissance tells me my porter can sell me a pint.** Her shining hair rested against tho seat towel. "You’re simply amazing. You don't seem to have the least trouble finding whatever you want” He didn’t reply for a moment but stood swaying above her, looking down at the bow of her Ups, the curve of her lashes. Tho impatience was rising again, prodding and driving. He forced it back savagely, chinking: "Not yet. This isn't tho way. You’re back homo now. You do this right." Ha said; “It 1 get the-plot, will you have one?" “Could be." His spirits rose, Bo felt almost gay. “See you later," he said. "I'U bo boro. It's a long trip to New York." “I'U be back." He Started down ttto Atete of Glen Argyle, stepping so Ughtly that he scarcely fott the jerk of tho train. Then too suddenly stopped. A serpent of doubt curled through his mind. "Maybe I ought to look further." Ho turned and went back up the aisle. Her door was shut. He went out of Glen Argyle, ‘ crossed tho platform and opened th* door of Duquesne. Ho saw Bonny Kalchfs before tho horseplayer saw him. 1 Kalchis was on his way back, weaving up the aisle, moving quickly and catlike, shifting his 1 eyes from on* side to the other. He wasn’t looking at faces, but > rather at laps. Corbett’s forehead knotted. ' What was there about that Iren, I shabby figure? It was stalking,

that’s what it was. Hunting for soimthng. For someone. “Cripes! What else am 1 doing? I’m doing the same." A kid, a boy about five, reached out from one of the seats. The swath of his arm hooked Kalchis just under the knees. The man stumbled, gripped the back of a seat. The kid’s mother lunged for her child. From his stance near the door, Corbett saw the woman’s black handbag slide from her seat onto the oarpot. Ha heard her mumbling some words of apuiogy, saw Katehls swing low as if bowing or bracing himself, then straighten up, move on without answering the woman. Ho slid past Corbett, bolding his arms at bis sides, not even seeing him. He entered the washroom at the end of the car. The black purse was gone from fhn Corbett’s scalp tingled. If tt was what it looked Uke. it was shek slight of band. “No," bo decided. “She picked it up .. . Mind your own busmees, Don Corbett" He went through Duquesne very swiftly, barely glgpcing at women.
