Our Remembrance:— Somewhere in Korea along a bomb-scarred road, behind the protection of a wall that la all that stands of a house, or dug in o» the side of a nameless hill, Americans are remembering Memorial Day. Their remembering I will not take the form of parades or speeches, and it may be that _ tne name of the day may not even dross their minds, but they will remember. The soldier who has buried comrades needs no calendar to prompt his memory. These ba|tle-tired Americans will pay tribute to men who gave tneir lives for this country since men here ffrst decided that freedom wad worth dying for. They will pay tribute by what they do. To the soldiers in combat the War dead are not heroes In the old history book sense of the word,When these men think about the other soldiers who have died in battles since the Revolutionary , war, it is as fellow-soldiers and , not as the heroes of the statues in public parks. But they are the nation’s heroes. I We at home can only feel humble about Memorial Day. We shall fly our . flags, attend memorial /, services and we shall remember, 400. .Let us prove that we do by ; makfng the memory of the sacrifice of our dead a thing which * lives with us throughout the year. And let obr work Mr peace and freedom, not merely for ourselves . but for the world, prove that we snail not forget. r . . -o—o—- — the contest at Indianapolis will be chasing cars, one driver hoping to outrun the % other 32 contestants. • —•>—o— ; Few people will believe that Sen.

Choose Deodorant With Core If Sensitive Skin

’ EVERYBODY — that is every normal person—-perspires. Spine ~\ may -perspire less than others, bat there is no sueh thing as a sweat-free human being. Fdr this reason, vitruaHy all of us require anti-perspirants or deodorants at / least from time to time, and many shoe Id use them every day.As it comes from the bodj, sweat has no offensive odor. This fine state? [■ of affairs is soon ’ changed, however, by the bacteria which are always present on the skin. They act on the perspiration \ to produce the so-called tion odors. ' ’ ] . It is true that regular bathing gets rid of many of the germs on the skin for the time being and also washes away the .perspiration, but" the excretion of persp-' ration is f a continuous process, and germs soon collect ’ on the skin again. / * The unpleasant odors of perspiration cannot be disguised very" well, at least for very long, with colognes, toilet water, or powders, as they only temporarily mask the .odors. -7' Most of the deodorants avah able for use on the skin are \ safe ' However, it must be borne in mind that there are some persons ; who are allergic or oversensitive to chemicals of one type or au-

KILL'EM**KINDNESS FRED DICKENSON

CHAPTER TWENTY THE detective’s gaze roamed the room. There was an ashstand on the redhead’s left and m it three cigarettes had been crushed out. The ends of two were smeared with lipstick and were only half smoked. The third was clean but smoked down to less than an Inch. He picked them up and slipped them into his coat pocket. He went into the little kitchen, finding the cord to an overhead dome and pulling it on. Yellow A light flooded over a small sink, a two-burner kerosene range, a camp table and chairs. There was a cofi fee-pot on the stove and he went over and felt it. It was still warm. .Two cups stood on the kitchen sink. One was almost empty with Just a drying brown ring in the bottom. The other contained about half an inch of dark liquid. There was a faintly acrid odor when he put his nose to it. Footsteps rushed up to the porch as he took a tentative taste. The coffee was thick, shuddertngly powerful. Ma Handy slammed in. She said, “What’s\ the matter? What is it?” \ •Our girl friend got too much of, something," McGann said. "I thlnk( r it’s morphine. Did. you know she was an addict ?” __ "No." She moved her heavy body on the slim ankles, looking down at the still face. “We called an ambulance. It’ll have to come from Elizabeth.” She laid two fingers on the limp wrist. "Her pulse is awfully slow. Isn’t there something we cando tor her?” McGann stood beside hen, .holding the coffee cup and staring at the redhead. "If she stops breathing altogether we can give her artificial respiration. That’s about all, though, except keep her warm until the ambulance gets here.” He pulled'over a chair. “You sit here and watch her. I want to look around some more." \ "What tor?” i \ "Notes for one thing. If she took an overdose on purpose there should 1 be some around. This will be a police matter, you know. If she was dehberateiy given an overdose I’d like to find out how;” \ - She flicked a capable hand. “Hop to it." There was nothing in the bedroom resembling a farewell note. An alligator purse was lying on the bed and he opened it and pawed through it. An unopened pack of Camels, a lipstick, keys, handkerchief. In the purse com- . partment some bills and loose change. "She’s still breathing,” Ma Handy said. “Find anything T‘ "No,” McGann had left the coffee cup on the cable bcsWfe the magazine. He picked up the latter and Shook it out but nothing dropped from between the pages. Riffling through it, he could see no marginal notations. "Better see if there’s anything in her pockets.” he said. “If she pulls through this, she’ll thank us for keeping them dark.” After a minute. Ma Handy said, “Only a book of marches. From the Chanticler.” 11 ' "Let me have them,” McGann said. He put them into his pocket with the recovered cigarette butts.

Ina kitchen cabinet he found a brown paper bag and a couple of small empty Jars with tops. He put coffee from the pot in one and scratched the top. He poured what wae left in the cup into the othgr. He .shoved both Jars and the second cup with its brown ring into the bag Just as the throaty moan of the ambulance sounded near the camp. \ ' I "Thank God,” Ma Handy said. “Here they come. I told your little friend to stay there and show them the- way upJ” "Good,” McGann said. "There’s nothing else here.* From the porch he saw the red eye of the ambulance winking through the trees. Lights were going up in the mam camp building and people were coming out on the porch. Flashlights advancing along the trail grew brighter. Wexton was first and directly behind him were two white-coated attendants carrying a rolled-up stretcher. McGann held the door open end they stepped aside to let an ifiterne enter first. He was a dark and serious young man. Almost while they were opening the stretcher he completed his triad examination-— pulse, pupils, respiration. "Drugged, all right,” he said. "Take her.” ft The door slammed and Hooker Hunyak stgod In the room, massive; menace in his hunehed shoufrder£ His gaze touched her tenderly, -moved to the others. "What arei ya trying to do?" he said. "Why is she like that?” The attendants ignored him, lifting .the limp form and her bright | hca£ tilted back from the lovely curve of her throat. McGahn walked over. "She’s sick,” he said, “ijhfe has to go to the hospital.” Slowly the wide eyes took him in. instead of standing squarely, Hunyak instinctively slid his loft foot- forward. "No \she doesn’t,” he said. McGann watched the left shoulder. "It’s the only chance to save hcr,Hie. You want them to save her, don’t you?”; The attendants had lifted the stretcher. They stood waiting. The - interne adjusted a blanket. Hunyak backed reluctantly. His words were heavy, addressed 'to McGann. “Nothing better happen to her then, understand?” McGann nodded to the interne and the attendants. The stretcher starred out. He showed his credentials to the young doctor. “I'd like to ride with her. Anything she says can be very important.” "1 guess it’s O. K.” z McGann held the paper bag with its jiars and cup down near his side.;; He told Wexton, "Stick near me."l They walked along the narrow |trai! directly behind the interna. The crowd from the camp stood. ip a silent and curious ring back of the ambulance./ While the stretcher was being loaded, McGann went to his car and put the bag in the glove compartment. /He locked it. Then he took the ignition key from the ring and Chadded it to Wexton. “You got a driver’s license?” “Yes.” "I’ih going to ride in the am- i bulapce, You bring Chary and • Franter. .

If any of you want to go . back to New York you can get I the Pennsylvania at the Elizabeth i station. Or wait If you’d like.” "All right.” The stretcher was loaded. McGann walked over and swung up on the rear step, into the dim, warm interior. They had \ transferred Shirley Stanton to a heavier, crome-trimmed stretcher- bed on wheels. ? The interne was on the long seat beside her, his fingers on her pulse. Another low moan and they swung around slowly toward the road. Through the glass of the side McGann saw Hooker Hunyak posed stolidly, his arms heavy at his sides. » Wide tires and special springs floated them over the highway bumps. The warning wail sounded as they slipped past intersections. Neon signs wheeling by'east garish reflections across the peaceful features of the sleeping girl. “How is she, Doc?” “Deep,” the interne said. "Deep as they can get without—" After a bit, "There isn’t even much you can do in the hospital, is there ?”, J. A ; "Watch and hope. Keep them warm.” McGann .thought of the art gallery in the’ Tompkins study. "She was Shirley Stanton, cigarette girl . . . out of this world'. . . completely i,. , 1 proposed instantly . . .” Gdcen eyes staring fixedly.’T think 1 can tell you who killed Ronnie and why ... it isn’t easy I . . they’re washing us . . .* Country blackness gave way to brightly-lighted streets. NoW the siren was on almost continuously, and cars and buses pulled oyer before it. They were turning into a side driveway and a sign with a light behind it said, "Emergency." They wheeled her along the quiet corridar and the elevator hummed them upward. McGann waited in the hall fori a few minutes and then the nurse came and Said, "All right” Shirley Stanton’s hair was even more violent against the,white pillow, a startling background foi the immobile features. The interne stayed for a long time. When he went out, a nurse came in and stood watch. They slipped hot water bottles under the blankets. Shirley Stanton was a marble statue that had toppled from a pedestal, ■ \ j A man who wore a gray fedora came to the door and crooked a finger at McGann. He walked into the halt The man showed a Union County detective’s badge. McGann\ brought out hie credentials again\ and told him briefly of finding her. "I don’t know about relatives,” he said. “Ma Handy will call them, if there are any around here, and then come over.” * "I know Ma,” the county man said, "and I knew something about this girl’s connections with Tompkins. I’ll wait with you. Maybe two wiH listen better than one.” Shirley Stanton’s lovely Ups never opened. At 11:21 P. M. she was really out of this world. ( To Ba

Healthy Children Chief Source Os Polio Spread

(By THOMAS B. TURNER, M.D. Professor of Bacteriology, the Johns Hopkins University school of hygiene and public health! (Editor’s Note: This is the second of a series of articles written for laymen by outstanding scientists covering present-day knowledge about polio, based upon the last thirteen years of research supported by the National Foundation for Infantile, Paralysis.) Y To understand how poliomyelitis spreads, |t, is necessary to understand, first, that those whp pass it on to others are not necessarily sick themselves and that the infection nwy- pass from person to person many times before a susceptible individual develops paralysis. Study of many epidemics has shown that of all persons infected with the poliomyelitis virus, only a smaß proportion—perhaps one in 100 dr more—t'ver shows paralysis or other recognizable symptoms of the disease. Therefore, if 100 children or adults acquire the virus at about the same time only one of these, on the average,'will develop the disease in detectable form. Yet each of the others, although able to go about his usual activities, will harbor thd virus for several days. ' Virus In Excreta Certain steps In the transmission of the poliomyelitis virus remain elusive, but it has been shown that most infected persons for ?a brief period, ushal’y three- to ten days, eliminate the virus( in their bowel discharges, and for/ shorter periods also eliminate the virus in nose and throat secretions. Knowing this, it is obkvious that evefr with careful is obvious that even with careful virus could cling readily ,to the hands and other parts of the body, ;could contaminate clothing and other objects. With careless per- , sonal hygiene or sanitation the degree of contamination is, likely to be much greater. / , It is presumed that the virus usually enters the body byway of the mouth or nose, probably carried onArnieroscopic particles of dirt ! oA secretions The amount of virus required to Infect an Individual is not known. ,' ; > True, the virus probably does not survive for more than a- day or two outside tbte human body. But since those who are unconsciously responsible for the dist'harge of Virus cannot bo. detected by any known test, contaminated hands clothing, etc., could be handled by many other persons within a household in that short space of time. \ Personal Contact Plays pole The small proportion of infected persons who happen to become sick, and I consequently ate confined to their homes or a|e in the hospital, are ofWar less danger to the community than the many who are free to mingle In various groups. EVery community! contains not only people who are susceptible but a n)r larger number !of others who are immune because! of previous and usually unknown {infection. The. proportion of immune persons varies according to age and other factors, but generally speaking, fully one-fourth the ! children around ten years of age and three* fourths of the adults will be immune and in no danger of further infection. Unfortunately, susceptible individuals cannot be distinguished as yet /rom those who

are immune/? except by elaborate and costly methods employed today only on a research basis. During the course of an epidemic the sources of infection, then, are principally iri the healthy child population, plus a email number of adults. While our knowledge of the factors favoring transmission still is limited, it is believed that the virus is usually transferred from one person to another by more or Ipsh direct physical contact. Opportunities tor tach contact vary tremendously. Children mingle closely with other children, while close contact between adults and children is largely limited to, the home. The occurrence of so many “silent cases” renders it virtually ; lihpos* sible actually to trace the infection from one person to another. Food, milk and water undoubtedly may becoriie contaminated with poliomyelitis ; virus, but the usual protective processes, such as the cooking of food, tbe pasteurization of milk and proper chlorination of water are adequate to destroy the virus, Thus if is believed that few infectious occhr in this manner. Ordinary house flies,, feeding on infected human excreta, may earry poliomyelitis Virus to fdod. This food has been:fhown to be intectis ous for chimpanzees, who with monkeys are the only animate susceptible Io all types of this dis-, ease, a'fact that makes investigation a \ vast- expensive undt rtaking. Nevertheless, other evldence—such a*4 the fact that tbe disease has been found In fly-free cold climates elimih4 tlon ot flies*has not interrupted the pattern of poliomyelitis incidence —indicates that flies play a minor role, if any, in the spread of the disease.

iAbd there is up evidence that other insects or animals are carriers of the viras. ' ft must be admitted that there are wide gaps in our knowledge. Fbr example, the fact that year after year the disease to much more prevalent tn the summer and tall than in the winter and spring is not understood.
