Residents of the various townships look forward to these interesting gatherings of home-folk and it is a splendid thing that neighbors meet at least once a year in the school houses to discuss their problems and learn new practices in safe guarding health, housekeeping and agricultural pursuits. o o It was a privilege for this city to entertain the school superintendents from Northern Indiana, with Superintendent Walter J. Krick, acting as host to the club members. The educators conducted a two-day session here and in addition to their interesting program, visited the local school buildings. Superintendent H. L. McKinney of Auburn was elected president of the group, succeeding Mr. Krick, to whom we extend congratulations for conducting such a splendid meeting and his thoughtfulness in inviting the school officials to this city. o o Pennies don’t buy much these days, but when scooped up in the form of excise taxes, the little copper coins grow into huge

Bleeding That Follows Tooth Extraction

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. D. IN THE past, one of the great difficulties of brain operations was the lack of a good niethod to control bleeding Because of the delicacy and importance of brain tissue, methods Used in operations on other parts of the body would not serve. During the past few years, however, the two substances which play the largest roje in tjie normal clotting of the blood —fibrin and thrombin—have been extracted from human blood, and successfully used for this purpose. More recently, the same method has been adapted to the needs of dentistry. Bleeding often occurs during or after the extraction of a tooth and in some instances it is prolonged. In order to control this troublesome type of bleeding three dentists, Drs. Gwinn, Grimm and Ferber, first place the thrombin in a salt solution and then immerse fibrin foam, which is sponge-like, in the solution. The fibrin foam shrinks in size as soon as it soaks up the thombin preparation. These pieces of fibrin foam are put on a piece of sterile gauze until ready for use. In cases of patients in whom there was a history of previous prolonged bleeding from the wound after tooth extraction, sulfathiazole powder was dusted around the margins of the tooth socket. Then a piece of the fibrin foam soaked in the thrombin solution, jusi large enough to close the opening of the socket, was pressed over the socket. No attempt was made to press it deeply into the tooth socket. One or two plain surgical stitches were put in to hold the fibrin foam in place. Then a small piece of gauze

amounts. From the one and onehalf cent per gallon tax on gasoline, the federal government collects $32,500,000 a month, which someone compares with the government’s income of a century ago. At that time taxes from all sources totaled $26,495,0Q0 monthly. Here, in Indiana, the state collects four cents on each gallon of gasoline, which nets more than 30 million a year and the three-penny tax on cigarettes will gross another 15 millions. No wonder so many pennies are in circulation. Q Q The Republican leaders in congress should get together and iron out their tax reduction proposals. Congressman Knutson, author of former tax bills, excited the country the other day with his declaration that a “quickie” would be pushed through congress, giving tax relief this year. Speaker Joe Martin, who probably wields more political power than Knutson, declares that tax reduction must wait until next year. The taxpayer is as puzzled as treasury officials, the latter wondering when forms can be printed for making the returns and what rates will apply. Our guess is that all she schemes for handing out a Christmas present j to taxpayers come under the heading of political talk. o o Legion's Plan: One of the many problems to confront the new session of Congress will be a veterans’ housing plan submitted by the American Legion. Its Commander, James F. O’Neil, following an executive committee session in Indianapolis re- ■ cently, said details of the plan would permit groups of veterans to form nonprofit corporations for financing houses. Financial assistance would come through sale of government bonds. The purpose is to achieve speedy low-cost housing for the countless veterans all over the country who still are house-hunting while living in cramped and inadequate or excessively expensive quarters. Without attempting to pass on the merit of this housing plan, it would seem that some gaed might come from a study made officially by the American Legion on this most pressing veteran need. The basic difficulty with construction today, whether it be for former Gl’s or non-veterans, is cost. If the Legion plan can lick this complex j problem, the group will be helping not only its own constituency but the great numbers of other Americans who are increasingly troubled by the housing shortage.

/covered with petrolatum was plac- ; ed over the socket and the patient i was instructed to put gentle pres- . sure on it for two or three minutes. In cases in which bleeding persisted after removal of the tQOth, t the same sort of procedure was folt lowed. If bleeding persisted during the operation, the fibrin foam with , the thrombin solution was put in I pjace and kept there until the I bleeding stopped. If bleeding ocI curred again before the operation rj was finished, the foam was applied I again. J When bleeding persisted for a . long time after the operation, the . thrombin was left in place for five J to ten minutes and gentle pressure . put on it. In some cases, if was necessary to pack the fibrin foam into the tooth socket. In thirty-one cases treated in this way the bleeding was successfully checked in all except one in--1 stance. It would seem that this ’ method of treating bleeding, which 1 is simple and easy to carry out, L may soon come into wider use 1 wherever it is necessary to stop ' bleeding. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS J. B.: Is there anything I can do to prevent boils? Answer: In the treatment of bolls, several things may be done. The general resistance of the body should be built up by getting plenty of fresh air, sunshine, and outdoor exercise, as well as by eating a poper diet. Covering the boils with an antispeptic ointment, such as ammoniated mercury, may also prevent the development of further boils. The application of dressings of glycerin and alcohol to the boils is also beneficial. Certain drugs taken by mouth may aid m overcoming the infection.

CHAPTER THIRTY-NINE NORAH MANAGED the pallia semblance of a grin and continuea huskily, “I Know I sounded confused and bewildered. I went up to see Bill soon after he’d been transferred to the hospital in Augusta—” She broke off and shivered with the dreadful memory and her bands locked tightly together. “He was—strange. He was unable to speak, and his eyes, as they looked at me, were blank.” Gail’s arms were about her, hold- ■ ing her close and hard, soothing her with all the tenderness and love that filled her heart for this girl who was carrying her tragic burden in such self-sacrificing silence. “Norah, don’t you think you should tel] Father and Kate?" she asked uneasily when Norah’s tears had subsided a little. Norah caught her breath and flung up her head. “Oh, no. Gail—l couldn’t! It would break their hearts!” she said swiftly. “Because it is MY grief, i it would hurt them much more than if it had happened directly to them. You see, they don’t know Bill very well; they would have been terribly upset if they had known that I was going to marry him. Kate had been very ill with 1 pneumonia, and Uncle Charles was frantic with worry about her. So i you see, when Bill knew that he’d be going overseas in just a short while, we had to be married then or give it up until he came back. That was what he thought we should do, because of what could so easily happen to him.” She drew a long hard breath and said faintly, “He said, ‘Supi pose there should be a child and I should come back crippled or blind?’ You see, neither of us ever for a single instant thought of his mind. The most awful thing of 1 all.” SJie mopped her eyes and straightened and went on quietly: i “Bill is — was — very brilliant, with a fine mind," she said then. “He worked his way through college and was graduated with honors. He wanted to be a doctor, and he had been offered an internship at the City Hospital In Atlanta. He could have been deferred from the draft if he had wanted to, until he finished his internship, and then he could have gone in with a commission tn the Medical Corps. But he was too angry, after Pearl Harbor, to wait He wanted to go In slugging, he said. Well, he did, poor darling—” Her voice broke again and for a moment she clung to Gail, then she pulled away, smiling tremulously. “And that’s that,” she said, her voice determinedly lighter. “It’s been sweet of you to let me howl on your shoulder, Gail, but It’s not fair for me to shove my worries on somebody else.” “What are friends for, if not to share woes?” said Gail reasonably. Xftjrah hesitated a moment and

then she demanded qu.etly, “Then why don't you share yours with me, Gail? Maybe I could help.” Gail's color deepened and for a moment she stiffened. “1 don’t know what you mean.” “Okay, skip it,” said Norah almost brusquely. “I only thought that if it helped me to tell you something of my troubles, it might help you if you told me why you and Greg are determined to hurt each other, just because you are so terribly in love.” “I’m not in love —" Gail’s voice died beneath the look in Norah’s eyes, and Norah turned away, lifting her shoulders in a little shrug "Sorry I mentioned it.” she said coolly. “Os course, it’s your own affair, and you’ll have to work it out your own way.” She slid into bed, drew the covers up ind finished lightly, “Blow out the lamp when you’re ready.” Gail did, but she did not get into bed. She crossed to the window and stood looking out into the soft summer night. It was late September. The nights were touched with a faint promise of coolness that the days belied; the moon was a slim new crescent, scarcely three nights old and already low in the sky. From the fields and the woods there came the soft murmur of night sounds to which the country dweller becomes so accustomed that he notices them only when they cease to exist. There was a steady chirping of crickets, as though they realized that their time was limited and they were in a sudden flurry to have done with all their summer business. Somewhere far across the hill a hound dog bayed mournful--1 ly, and closer at hand an eager, ■ staccato bark of a feist answered i it For a moment, Gail remem- ' bered the city: the bedroom window that opened on a narrow all ley, across that the back of an apartment house; the sounds of the city, its clamor and discord, the air that was thick and heavy these nights with carbon monoxide, coal dust and the inevitable grime of city streets; neighbors’ i radios shrieking; a child crying somewhere; people talking, taxis, a trolley car with a flat wheel. I • Gall knew suddenly that she i never wanted to go back to the city again, knew it with a touch : of panic. Once more the feeling gripped her that this was home—- . Twin Oaks was her home. For the . first time, being independent, shold- : ing a job, standing on her' own two feet and facing the world, did . not seem such a proud thing. Instead, there was a desperate lone- ■ liness about it A loneliness that i shook her badly, l Just beyond that grove of trees : that stood so dark and mysterious i in the thin starlight and the light of the small young moon, was a i little cabin that shrined all het . dreams; and its door was locked I io her forever, Lissa’s Utter ha.

locked the door; there was no key to that door save Greg s complete understanding, and Greg didn’t want t« understand His mind had been closed against her even before he first set eyes on her. Even though he had fallen tn love with her, it had been purely an emotional reaction to whatever looks and charm and personality she might have. And once he had seen that letter of Lissa’s, he had been quick to down the emotion, to reassert his suspicion and his contempt She shivered a little as though the mild night had suddenly turned chill, and crept into bed beside Norah to lie wide-eyed and sleepless while what was left of the night crept past. Somewhere near dawn Gail fell asleep and Norah slipped out of bed without disturbing her. When Gail awoke she was alone, and the cheerful morning sounds to which , she had grown so happily accustomed during the never-to-be-re- : captured summer came in to her. The air was dewy fresh with the i morning that promised heat later in the day. i Her heart lifted with delight in ! the first moment of awakening : She was back at Twin Oaks. She could have a lovely day and ans other night, and then she must go ' back to town to her job But she ' wouldn’t let herself think of that 1 now. She would savor each moi ment of this day, hold it close to i her heart, build of It memories 3 that would solace in some small r measure the terrifying loneliness ? that lay ahead. s Norah had laid out a freshly • laundered pair of blue jeans, a 1 shirt,, a pair of low-heeled, scuffed • oxfords and socks. Gail laughed as , she donned them, picturing Lissa’s 1 face when she saw them Lissa had - never been willing for Gail to - wear blue jeans, even when they - became fashionable among Gail’s i wealthy friends. f "Glamor’s our job. Gail.” Lissa ;, had said with unexpected serious--1 ness. “Pedal-pushers, shorts, well- - cut slacks —we can safely risk e those. But blue jeans—never!” i’ All that seemed so long ago and j so unimportant! i, She brushed her hair back from her face, tied a ribbon about it, e and without so much as a dust of e powder on her straight, sun-tanned ti nose, she went eagerly down the j stairs. The others were at breakfast e when she came in, and Gail almost - gasped at the sight of Lissa at a the table at this hour in the mornd ing, already smoothly groomed and - tailored, obviously on the verge of - departure. t “There you are, you bad girl!” said Lissa, and took the blue jeaiis, s the faded shirt, the scuffed Oxs fords in her stride. "You should be t spanked for scaring the daylights a. out of all of us. It’s your good fort tune, my child, that we love you d I too much.” id (To Be Coctinued}

The dead were identified by statue t police as Maxwell Parker Lyle, 32, J Louisville, Ky.; Charles W. Poole, 1 30, and Alice Dowers, 26. both of , Columbus, Ind. The three-seater Piper SuperCruiser struck a tree on the Sam Feldmeyer farm and plunged to the edge of a pond about 7 p.m., as it came in for a landing at the Huntingburg airport in the darkness of early evening. Poole, still alive, was thrown out of the wreckage into the shallow water of the pond. He died an hour later in Stork hospital. The others were killed outright. Police believed the craft was trying to land after a flight from Bowman field, Louisville. It was owned by the Louisville Aircraft lnc. No one knew who was the pilot. Business Man Dies Indianapolis, Nov. 10 —(UP ) — A sudden down-draft as he attempted to land apparently caused a plane crash in which a Kokomo, lnd. business executive was injured fatally, ah' officials said today. Harry Masquelette, 46, head of the radio division of the Kingston Products’ Corp., died Saturday after his plane crash-landed near the Sky Harbor airport. Witnesses said he had taken off from the landing field to go to Kokomo but apparently turned back because of strong head winds. The plane burned after crashing near the field. Masquelette, an experienced pilot, ' had purchased the plane in Indianapolis last week and brought it here Saturday to have a radio installed. He died before an ambulance arrived to take him to the hospital. 0 Trade in a Good Town — Decatur o TRUMAN HINTS (Continued from Page 1) pose of American aid is to help “free peoples in their effort to maintain the form and composition of their governments in accordance with the wishes of the majority.” “If this end is attained,” he said, '"every dollar that we have or will put into Greece and Turkey (will have been justified.
