Phil Sauer, the street commissioner is directing the city-wide blitz against dirt and will appreciate any cooperation extended to the workmen and truck drivers. o—o Motorists are cooperating In the safety plan by observing the signals of the Student Safety Patrolmen at the school crossing. These youths need your support and every driver should be glad to obey the orders as the young patrolmen guard the crossings where children must pass in going and coming from school. Let's not have an accident at any one of these intersections. As the community paused when word of the death of Cassius •'Cash'' Lutz was announced, local friends of the veteran General Electric employe, also recalled the days when the plant was located here. Mr. Lutz was one of the original personnel that started the wheels going In Decatur’s newest industry in 1920. He was a genial gentleman and had a host of friends among his co-workers and other acquaintances. o o — Decatur friends are happy to extend congratulations to John E. Barth, who has been named manager of the local office of the Northern Indiana Public Service Company. A veteran employe of the company, Mr. Barth has lived here for the past ten years, being the auditor during the time that the late Clarence E. Stapleton. served as manager. Versed in the utility business, he will continue to maintain its standard of service to the community. Decatur will again be host to the 4-H Club show next August, the committee accepting the invitation of the Chamber of Commerce to stage the big youth event In the county seat. Similar to the first show held here last year, the 1947 event, will be ex-

A Form of Leod Poisonin g

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. 0. RECENTLY I discussed treatment for lead poisoning. Today I would like to tell you about a »penalized form of thia danger, one which, unless great care ia taken, may jeopardize workers engaged in the manufacture of the antiknock gaaoline which modern industry haa given ua for our care. The compound which givea gaaoline ita anti-knock finality ia tetraethyl lead. Now thia auhatance ia highly poisonous and acta the more readily becauae the vapor it givea off ia quickly taken up by the lunga a*d passed from them to the blood stream. It ia safe when properly handled. Rlaka of poisoning with thia rubstance occur both tn Its manufacture and when it is mixed with gasoline. Unless great care ia taken there ia also some danger involved in cleaning storage tanks which have contained such gasoline. Such storage tanks after a time contain a thick material on the botom which contains many highly poisonous lead compounds. According to Drs. David A. K. Cassells and Edward C. Dodds of London the earliest symptoms in 25 cases of tefra-ethyl lead poisonhig studied by them were disturbances of sleep and of digestion. The classical signs and symptoms of load poisoning such as pain in the abdomen, trembling, painful muscles, neuralgia, constipation, paleness of the skin and certain changes in the rod blood cells either did not occur or were a. very minor part of the picture.

panded and possibly Include rides and other entertainment for the boys snd girls who attend tbe various exhibits. Last year’s show was distinct and gained statewide publicity from the fact that the prize steer brought 11,000 at sale. It is a tine thing to develops the 4-H club Idea and Ernest Karlen and Robert Helm, have been named as co-chairman to plan the big tbree-day program, begiunlng August 6. Any o' us might be wrong about It, but there seems to be a stirring in this country which could bring American drama to greater things than our stage has yet known. We have the means, and probably the talent, so that there might arise within a generation dramatic genius equal to any career on any stage. Some may say it is too late in the world for new Shakespeares. hut they were saying that when the Great Shakespeare appeared, with his new outlook on life. Perhaps there Is no reason, In the nature of things, that another man—or woman—as groat as Shakespeare should not arise before the end of this century. Those who love drama should be looking for it. o 0 The country may soon have its third largest national park, second only to Yellowstone and Glacier. A deed to 1,000,000 acres in the Florida Everglades has been accepted by Secretary of the Interior Krug, and the Florida state legislature has appropriated U. 000.000 with which to acquire the remaining land. Then the National Park Service will move in and provide roads, lodges, eating places, boat houses and other' facilities. When the Great Smoky National Park was opened, its nearness to the centers of population In the East brought it large patronage. This will undoubtedly be the case with the Everglades, the more so because people of the Northeast have for years been getting the Florida habit in winter. — o o isters Conference in Moscow did find unity and friendliness in one occasion—a farewell banquet. Stalin. the host, shook hands will all guests as they arrived and again when they left four hours later. President Truman was toasted, as were heads of other powers, including President Shvernik of the USSR. Secretary of State Marshall in his toast made It clear that he bad hoped for greater accomplishment than was made, explaining that Americans are impatient for an early peace and prosperity In Europe. The banquet served a purpose. It ended tbe conference on a note of amity and helped to ease tensions.

the earliest sign was sleeplessness. Following shortly after this symptom there were loss of appetite. sickness to the stomach, vomiting and diarrhea. Irritability, restlessness, nervousness and anxiety were the next symptoms. At this stage the pulse was usually slow, the temperature below normal and the blood pressure was low. As a rule it is not difficult to diagnose tetra-ethyl lead poisoning. The symptoms are fairly typical and in addition there is a history of exposure to lead. A determination of the amount of lead In the urine helps to give some ideas of the degree of exposure. The dangers of working with tetraethyl lead are well understood and the use of proper safeguards will help to prevent poisoning from this source. Insofar as treatment is concerned. all that is needed in the milder cases is to remove the patient from contact with tetraethyl lead, to have him take light exercise in the open air. to use a well-balanced diet with plenty of fluids and to relieve sleeplessness with one of the preparations used for thia purpose, such as the barbiturates. The treatment of severe cases requireu strict nursing care, the giving of plenty of fluids and sedative or quieting drugs. Glucose. a sugar in salt solution, may be given by Injection into a veto. Magnesium sulfate or oue of the barbiturate preparations is used as a sedative

CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE VAL FURNED over on her back and opened her eyes and stared up at the ceiling. She seemed to see Rick Colby's face there, grave and loving. It had been Rick's child she wanted, for whom her empty arms would always ache. Now Rick was dead and she had never known him as a husband, she would never so know him. She would never bear Rick’s child—but she would never bear Wade's child, either! She would get up at once, Vai decided, and go and tell Wade so. She flung back the coven and sat up, thrusting her long lovely legs over the side of the bed and Into the satin mules that waited there. The white chiffon robe that matched her lace-trimmed gown lay across a chair nearby and Vai stood up and slid her bare arms into it, knotted the satin be*t about her waist. She crossed the deep soft rug to the adjoining bath of chromium and gleaming peachcolored tile. A glimpse of her face In the mirror caught her attention as she passed and automatically she lifted a hand to push the tumbled, ash-blond hair back from her forehead. But the gesture was uncalled for. Her husband's bed was empty. His handsome, masculine room was empty, toa Wade had got up and gone to work without disturbing her. Perhaps, in a saner morning mood, he had realized that the talk he had proposed would not be a good idea. Perhaps be had already known the answer she would give him and had preferred not to bear it put into words Vai leaned for a moment against the doorframe, a chill little smile curving her mouth ... It was an unpleasant and exasperating coincidence that her day should be singularly empty. Just when she didn't want a lot of time on her hands ... An appointment at a beauty salon took care of what was left of th* morning. She had lunch with a friend accidentally encountered there and that helped use up another hour or so. But the friend bad an engagement at three. Os course, Vai could always go shopping. But there was nothing she especially wanted or needed. And she wasn't in a shopping mood. What she really wanted was someone she could talk to. And so she thought of Susan Pyle. Going up in the familiar elevator, the thought of Sherry brushed against the edges of Vai's consciousness. She hadn't seen her sister in weeks, she realized, nor her mother, either. But Leda wouldn't be home at this hour; probably She.Ty wouldn't either. Besides, Vai didn’t feel in the

mood for her sister's candor, her level-hcadedness that could, at times, make a person feel like a silly flibbertigibbet. No, Susan was her best bet. Susan came to the door In response to Vai's ring and that alone should have been sufficient warning that Susan already had plans for the afternoon. She never let her maid off any day but Thursday unless she had some reason for not wanting her around. Susan's smooth black coronet of braids, her warm olive complexion and flashing eyes were set off by the latest thing t*. lounging apparel, something moss-green and wickedly enticing. She exclaimed, "Darling—what a marvelous surprise!" and drew Vai in and pressed her cheek warmly against her own. Susan’s perfume was as wickedly enticing as her gown, or even more so. Vai said ruefully, "I'm afraid you’re expecting someone else.” Susan nodded. "Isn’t it foul? Why didn’t you give me a ring and I co»iid have saved you the trouble of dropping in—today of all days.” She smiled, pulling Vai down onto a divan and offering her a cigarette. "But I can give you half an hour, pet Tm free as a bird till three-thirty—then I'm embroiled with the most fascinating man. Maybe I can only give you twentyfive minutes—he might be a little early and I woulo./t want things awkward.” •Til leave st twenty after,” Vai said a shade acidly. ‘Then you'll be quite safe. He wouldn’t be earlier than that would he?” "No-o,” Susan held her lighter for Vai’s cigarette and her own, “he wouldn’t be any earlier than that today. But after today—” Her shrug and smile were meaningful. “Os course, you know you are Impossible.” Susan’s complete frankness concerning her love affairs always amus'd her friends. Vai leaned back and smiled at her through the smoke of her cigarette. “One of those incorrigible people," Susan smiled back. "But, pet I have such funi Do you blame me?” “It's strictly your business, the way I figure it” Vai replied coldly. "You’re so right," Susan agreed. She asked then, "But how are you, darling? And how's Wade? We missed you at Lucia's party the other night” “1 missed the party,” Vai said. “It was Wade’s idea not going.” "That again?” Susan asked, with an expressive lift of black eyebrow. Os course, Vai had already confided to her some of the trouble she’d been having with

Vai nodded. “That describes it perfectly.” "You know,” Susan said, her dark glance thoughtfu , "1 saw signs and portents of this yen of Wade’s to settle down and live like a responsible citizen long ago. It’s been creeping up on him for ages." “Why didn’t you warn me?" "But. 'pet, it should have been obvious to anyone. Anyone who knew him well, that is,” Susan amended. "And of course I do know Wade well—we’-e such old friends. There have been little indications—oh, for the past couple of years—that ho was slowing down a bit.” "I didn’t notice,” Vai said, "until along about the time we got back from Florida. And It’s been getting worse. We have the most ghastly battles.” “Oh, well,” Susan shrugged. "That’s just a part of marriage. Sort of adds spice, don’t you think? I mean, it would be dreadfully dull if people were always agreeable.” "Well, at least we’re not dull.” Susan exhaled smoke in two straight columns. "You know what, pet? I shouldn’t be surprised if Wade suddenly developed a paternal urge—it quite often follaws—” She broke off at something in Vai's face and her black eyes widened and a little smile curved her rather thin-hpped scarlet mouth.
