He fled from this country 25 years ag<> when the Teapot Dome scandal burst, r.'urnlng recently to take his medicine in court. He might have enjoyed his millions, but probably has many regrets over the turn of events in his hetic business career ——o o-— Hooking a big fish is officially a matter of luck. Anglers who disagree* call take- the matter up with the Post Office Department, which had to decide whether it is luck or skill. The officials, granting that it may take skill to land the big fellow, refused to concede it's anything but luck that gets one hook rather than an other into the fish's mouth. A fishing derby with entrance fee and prise for the biggest fish was held to be a lottery, and the dipartment ruled It could not be advertised. But there is no curb on fish stories. Americans who may favor Com munism. and there are some, would be considerably astonished if they had to work under a system of labor passports such as prevails in Russia Under the Husrian plan each workman must have a book, which normally is kept by his employer. If he leaves his job without the tmpioyer's consent, fee does not get bU book, and without it may not legally be hired by any other employer.

Tuberculosis Is Often a Cause

By Herman N. Bundeeen, M.O. A COLLECTION of fluid within the chert cavity is known a* pleural »ffusi<>t> in most cases, thia disorder i« usually considered the result of tuberculosis. Even though the tuberculosis may not have shown up in any other way at the time the effusion occurs. it frequently manifests itself shortly thereafter. In a study made of l<»0 patients with pleural effusion, tuberculosis of the lung Was found in 21 and tuberculosis of the kidney in one within sii mouths. Other studies bare shown that tuberculous infection in the Jungs may be expected to develop up to eren five years after the fluid collects in the chest cavity. The latter condition comes on gradually with pain In the chest, fever, and a feeling of sickness. The symptoms are much like those which occur in virus pneumonia Withdrawal of some of the fluid from the chest cavity and examlna tion of It may help to give informs tion that makes a diagnosis po« alble. X ray examination of the langs is Important. Treatment of the disorder congists of mt in bed and removal of enough of the fluid to help prevent the formation of adhesions between the liniar membrane over the lung; and that of the chest cavity. The

imprisoned for two to four months. This is elave labor, pure and simple. It Is astounding that persons who call themselves “friends of the working class" can consider the introduction of a system under which such conditions of serfdom are possible. o—-o— — The fight within the unions has resulted in the expulsion of the Electrical Workers from the CIO. with plans to oust a dozen other locals throughout the country. The big union bosses are attempting to line up support among the various factions and II appears that the country will be treated to a new act in union strategy. A bent fit to the nation would be a union pact to end the steel and coal strikes which are now paralysing industry and Raving thou sands of persons in the cold. The topflight leaders in the two CIO factions arc Phil Murray and Albert Fitagerald, who hurl charges at each othvr faster than bullets eplt from machine guns. o o Eor the next three weeks the biggest civic undet taking will be the raising of funds for the proposed Community Center. Several hundred jor-ons are enrolled in the cause. They will present their story to individual and bustnet. head with the idea of obtaining contributions for this proposed adjunct to the city's social and recreation life. It is an interesting campaign, built entirely on the city's opportunity to avail Itself of a SIOO,OOO offer from Centra! Soya Company toward flnano Ing the cost of the building. The local goal is a minimum of $175,000, and upward to 2200,000, if the full amount of the industry's gift becomes available. So far the response has been encouraging. o—o Air Racers: The National Aeronautic Association has set up new rules intended to reduce the possibility of Injury to bystanders and damage to their property from dosed course racing of airplanes, races In which the planes circle around a coruse marked by pylons or other markers. The new rules require the approval of surrounding communities before sanction will be given to such a race which takes planes beyond the limits of an established air field. The new rules were prompted by an accident at the national air races in Cleveland in September, when the racing pilot William Odom was killed iu a crash which alsd caused the deaths of two bystanders, serious injury to a third and the destruction of a home. Almost everyone concerned with aviation wants racing continued, at least in some- forms, because of the impetus It gives to technical development. These new regulations, if cone m unit les refuse to approve racing over settled areas, might provide at least part of the needed protection for people on the ground.

patient should have al least one ■ J year of bed rest in order to help i check the progress of any tuberculous infection in the lungs. Then, i for ape riod of tour years after disI charge, he should be examined . regularly at frequent intervals and • X rays made of the chest. The test known as the sedimentation test is helpful as a guide to the treatment. A sedimentation i test Is made by seeing how rapidly i the blood cells settle out of the I, fluid of the blood. The normal rale ! does not necessarily mean, howi ever, that the tuberculous Infection will not develop later, nor can it I be used as a guide as to the amount i of time that should be spent in bed I Os coarse. care should always be i taken In making a diagnosis of the . disease, since the .treatment requires such a prolonged period of > bed rest and puts a great economic burden on the patient and his I family.

Rut it did no? happen that way. The stands were empty when I got out of the locker room, amt I hurried down to Mike’s service station to ask If he had seen BlU>i'a roadster. He had not. I tnosied a round the Dairy Den and other places tn town where the kids go after a game, but saw nothing of the pair I sought. I tlephoned the Hardin residence fro mthe church, arid when a woman's voice answered. I art cd If Dotty was home. I intended to say that she was out with the dirtiest skunk in .town, but it occurred to me that it might be Frank's mother, not Mrs. Hardin I was talking to. so I just said. ‘ Thanks." and hung up Thia morning. I telephoned the 811.-h residence around eight orlock. and heard that junior would i see noliody till about noon. At twelve. I learned that be had jus* gone to town. Ho I went around th-j square, and saw his roadster id front of a tavern on south Broadway I walked in. where he waa standing at the bar. Trying to l>e calm, I asked him If he had seen the game last night He nodded Then, "Who was Jibe cute blonds you dated f “Dot Hardin." “Oh. yes. Rhe's a high school kid. isn't she? The first time I ever saw you. Bligb. you had a lot to say about tbe girls In Madrid High.

He tried to pretend he did not know what I was talking aliout. so I got specific as to place, time, and other details He picked up his beer, and tried to walk a way. but I caught his arm and told him this was the only warning 1 would give him. Then I walked out and came back here Beside the bartender. only a frowzy couple heard it. but ! would have done the same had the place been crowded J have taken .*lme to calm down before calling Dorothy. Planned my conversation with her. hut it did not go smoothly. Here It is: "Say Dorothy, this is Ivan Igor- , vich. If you haven't done your Spanish translieion for Monday, let's work it out after the youth meeting Sunday night." "I hate a better system than that right now And besides, 1 have a date- Sunday night, and it won't be 'at church." "Listen, Baby: If your date i* supposed .’o be with the tramp you ' went to the football game with last night, he will call you shortly and break it, or he will have a very Lad accident. So If you had one with Matt Bligh. forget It and date me I'll be a lot better company for you. "Ob. you don’t say so? Matt just called to ask if you are a particular friend of mine. You're not. And mind your own business.” "Okay, Blondie. And if your reputation doesn't mean anything tn yon. I'll tell him ho is free to ta'k about you in any saloon he chooses. Is that what you want?” 1 heard her go. "Oooo" furiously, and hang np. She had better have her own Spanish translation Monday. I won't have it for her. Sunday. Septent'ier 27 This has probably bcm the biggest day of my life. It started out with the sermon which Merle Hawley called. "Our Reasonable Faith." He Is going to mimeograph it and send it to college students. But I still think he had tne In mind when be worked it out. I was wishing my l father and whole family had been here Sone were. Merle started out by comparing the ideas of a Creator-God versu4 no-god to explain the physical universe: and modestly suggeuted that i« .Mind behind creations of stars iu<! worlds was at least as reasonable as having a human engineer, human hands, behind the making of a car or a plane. Then he compared ideas that tbe Creator is blind force with our beUct that Go J

As a class I project, the students wrote the essay on fire prevention; it was then forwarded to the Democrat , with an accompanying letter from i the class instructor, Thomas Adler, who believed the letter would be of interest.) It Is essential that we reduce the number of fires. We cannot afford to sacrifice billions of dol lars and thousands of Ilves ea< h . year. We don't want the world to

God showed the quality of life a man must live to conquer death. •Yet God mercifully offers salvation to those who want life with Him, but cannot begin to match the character of Jesus I kept saying to myself. That's what 1 want!" 1 warded to shout out loud, and mean it this lime. "Hallelujah? Amen!” Merle had a dinner engagement to ent with /he Hardin family; ail t tree of tin m were there this morning. But when I told him I wanted to talk with him. he asked Mrs. Hardin if he could lie half an hour le*e. |We had a wonderful half hour in a pew of the church, talking aliout It. and praying. Even I prayed and felt like I was talking so some on a other than Merle when I said. God. help tne to understand, and help me to do right.” I'm going to get my studying out of the way before Young Peoples. And after the meeting. I have to go i talk with Mike at zhe service station. It makes so much sense to I tion. It makes so much sense to me I should find words in get ft across Monday. S. ptember 2t Mike is in the hospital. He was robbed an! kidnapped lar.t night. 1 had been over at the station, trying to get a chauce to speak with him. But between lots of sales, and two flat tires (with which i helped him) I gave up All I got on’ by 11:00 o'clock was. "Mike. I got something today for sure that I'd like you to have.” I went home shortly after 11:00. disappoint* I. Why I didn't slay until dosing tiin •. •l-out 11:10. I don't know. I might have been shot up if I did. because fists are not much force against guns. As I get it. Mike was servicing « car ' just liefore closing when o couple fellows on foot asked him about using the washmjm. He told them to go ahead, and forgot about them until after he bad agile change for the Illinois car When .''lllinois” was gone, and .Mike had I both tbe cash register and the safe open, one hoodlum came out of the washroom with a gun on Mik.- ami [-made him lie down on the ba<-u floor of Mike's jalopy Then the other took ail tbe monev from drawer and safe, and came out to drive the Chewy; the first thug stayed in the back seat and kept the artillery on Mike. I'm glad Nike did have enough sense not to try to fight, or I'd be minus a brother now. (Io be CouUUUetij

think of us as the most careless of all the civilised nations. Since i most of the fires are caused ofthoughtlessness or carelessness, we the eighth grade citizen* of Adams Central wish to present to others the chief precautions of fire about which we have studied When using matches, keep them In a fireproof container and out of reach from small children Always strike matches away from you and be sure It is out before you throw It away, if you spill them be sure you pick up every one. When using naptha for dry ■ cleaning .the only way to be safe is to take It outdoors because it Is very Inflammable. Chimneys should be built upon solid foundations and should be lined with fire clay, fire brick, or tile and have walls eight Inches thick Have you ever gone past a house and noticed sparks or even flames coming from the chimney? This means that the soot in the flue is burning. There are two serious dangers when this happens: Fires may get through some crack in the chimney, or flying sparks may set fire to the roof if it is made of flammable materials. Be careful with stoves. Protect your floor from sparks with a fireresistant covering Furnaces should not have leaky or rusty pipes, doors that open easy, or cracks in the fire pot. Rubbish piles are serious causes of fire Rubbish piles, largely of old broken furnature or wooden boxes are very dangerous because a single spark may set them on fire. Camp fires are important too. First see that the fire is started In a safe place. Second be sure that all embers are dead before you leave, or it may cause a whole forest fire. When using electrical appliances, always disconnect them when leaving for a few minutes. Replace burned out fuses. Have your wiring and electrical appliances attended to by an expert. it is estimated that about ninetyfive out of every hundred fires, that occur, could be prevented because they are traceable to carelessness. It is also true that in no other civilized country are there so many fires as in the United States. This implies that we are more careless with both life and property than any other civilized country. Finally, we must realize that all of us help pay the costs of fire through our insurance. Only by careful effort can we prevent the tremendous waste of lives from mounting higher and higher. Let's make fire a friend not an enemy. Eighth Grads Pupils of Adams Central
