Sen. Taft lead the list with about 53 percent of those who replied. Gen. Eisenhbwer running second. The same delegates largely favored Gov. Warren of California and Sen. Dirksen for. second place oji the ticket. After all, the dele- 7 gates pick the presidential candidate and if next year’s delegation is as strongly pro Taft as the hasbeens, the Ohio senator should be nominated, despite the big time show that the eastern leaders are planning to launch in behalf of Gen.

Treatment Os Atomic Radiation 1

Since. the dropping of atomic bombs on Japan, medical science * has been seeking methods of dealing with Injuries inflicted by this newest of modern weapons. Pros gress in these studies has ,M?en > rapid, so that today we would l>y . no means be helpless in the face of an atomic attack. ( The greatest source of- severe and lasting injury following the explosion of an atom bomhj is radioactivity. Early recognition of exposure to radiation is very important in the treatment of such casualties, and it must be remembered’ that everyone wfthin_a mile radius of the ppint of explosion may. “ sustain radiation injuries. Blood Damage Those who show- signs of radiation sickness should be put at complete rest in some institution or hospital equipped to make Wood studies, since the chief damaze is likely to be sustained by- the blood. Both- white and red -cells are-effected. -i t ■ Antibiotics, such; as streptomycin. aureomycin and terramycin, should be given by mouth in or.ier ,_lto prevent ulceration of the bowel and bleeding.

Curb Sights:— To mention names of those who made the Callithumpian such a great success would be running the risk of omitting several individuals \ who worked enthusiastically to roll-up the biggest . and most successful parade ever staged here. Members of the 14 bands and their directors who marched deserve a lot of credit. The piasqueraders tops k Cleverness was their forte in masking and Halloween dress.

A device known as senses, sqch as pneumonia and k!da Geiger counter, which clicks where radioactive substances are present, is helpful in definitely diagnosing an atomic radiation injury. ■ Thorough Washing ' People in a radioactive area where a bomb has been dropped should remove all of their clothing and wash thoroughly with a detergent before leaving the radioactive zone. Thoseienteriiig the zone should not touch any substance that them. Special* shews and gloves Should be provided fihat are radio-active-resistant. A j ;• Ail food and water shduld be examined with a Geiger counter before being used. It a mist nr dust is present in the zone that has been exposed to radioactivity, a wet handkerchief, or preferably a gas mask, should be worn over the mouth and pose to prevent the breathing in -of atomic particles. — ' Questions and Answers G.

Shepherd attended oar at Boone. Influenced by the evil whiaperinga ot Clara Wayne, ma landlady. Peter unfortunately made certain testa on Mollie, ana although these proved negative, they oevertbeieaa gave rue to ugly gossip. Outraged oy this indignity. Dr. Cowan decides to teacn Shepherd a lessen tn professional ethics, one no won't forget- at « staff meeting, ne Hdleuiee Bhephero with whtnerlnk scorn. Humiliated aria contrite tor navtng needed Clara Wayne, Peter calls on Mollie Brooks to 'apologise. She receives htro graciously. For all ms mistakes, sne likes this naive young man. rtien nr calls on Clara, warning her to “gnui her mouth** henceforth—an impossible teat, ot course. CHAPTER TWEIVE IT WAS that small, select group made up ot the servants tn the neighborhood who did what their white folk could not do. They were able to kill the gossip simply and effectively. : - . Clara did her chatting to Hazel. Hazel remembered the night Dr. Brooks took sick ? Well, it seemed they’d been right— _ “Some say she and Dr. ‘Cowan are married..."'-. •They're not!” said Haze! emphatically. “Have they quarreled?” “1 don’t knqw.” "1 believe they have. But I wonder if they did it before or after—” **After< what?” asked Hazel, with that blank stare which sets up a barrier no white may cross. She determined to speak directly to Mr. Sylvester about the matter* this was the best thing ever done for Mollie. Because Sylvester could tell Hazel, and she sould tel! Eddie the doorman, and he could tell the doorman at the hotel, ano so on. that Sylvester had stood right - in the library ot Dr. Cowan’s house and had heard the doctor ask Miss Doctor would she marry him. That was about s month ago, maybe six weeks. Anyway, a nfonth before she was sick. Sick with a stomach ache. Dr. Cowan had tpid Sylvester. He asked right out would Miss Doctor please to become his wife, and Miss Doctor, she say no, she would not. Now, it didn’t stand to reason— So eminent was Sylvester’s respectability that his conclusions were accepted as valid, and his opinion on the matter became authoritative fact. Hazel and Eddie and the hotel doorman believed him. The hotel doorman told Mrs. Walker, the housekeeper, and the story, as true, returned to the kitchens find the living rooms ot the Square. And pretty soon the whites were ready to laugh at such tales about Mollie Brooks. It was then that Mrs. Irvine mentioned the matter to her doc-tor-husband; and he told the hospital side of the affair, with Clara convicted as guilty of starting the brush tire in both directions. “Someone," said the doctor, “should make that woman keep her mouth shut!” Mollie went on her i%ay, unconscious of most ot this turmoil.

Three Children Die As Home Destroyed Cairo, 111., Nov. I.—(UP)—Three children were burned to death in their beds and their parents seriously hurt whqn a flash fire swept a frame house early today on the Ed Marshall fartn about six.miles west of here. Ixsster Brown. 34-year-old negro farm hand, waa critically burned when ho tried to reenter the five room house to rescue his children. He had jumped out a window and' his wife, Estelle, 28, fled through the front door after they avfroke about 3:30 a.m. and diiscbvered : [their bedroom engulfed in flame 1.

r amount of gossip fanning her person; people were ready to talk about any woman: being a doctor increased this tendency; her success added its own push. \ But just now, Mollie’S first attention was being occupied by the change-which had taken place in her Ufa It was so abrupt, this reversal of Nicholas’ interest tn her. For years be had given her his attention, his company—and then—she still tried to argue that he should not have been either surprised or upset at her refusal to marry him. It was as if they took opposite sides tn any argument—she bad a right to her position. Nicholas gave her no opportunity to argue the matter with him. On the few occasions when she saw mm she tried to make such an opening; he evaded her efforts. In the month between his proposal and her illness Mollie had told herself, somewhat angrily, that he was staying away to let her miss him, to show her— But that Was not like Nicholas. His instant help to her when she was ill, and his immediate return to his manner of withdrawal from her and her affairs, convinced her that he had meant his offer of marriage as his simple declaration of love had not done. He had meant his offer, and he did her, the honor of thinking she meant her refusal. Her reason for it She had meant it! But couldn’t they— . No, it seemed they couldn’t "And she did miss him. She realized only now how constantly he had used to be with tier. She missed the privilege of going casually to nls home, sure ot a welcome there. She missed his way of dropping into her apartment, for five minutes, for an evening .... Except for one fifteen-minute call after she came home from the hospital session, he had not been hear—and she missed him. • • • e ; *•,-] The tempest over his diagnosis Os her illness nad served to establish a bond between Mollie and Peter Shepherd not otherwise probable between a Staff and a Junior Resident. Beginning with his turning her surgicals back to her charge after her absence, Peter saw a lot ot Mollie in the hospital. He stayed on tn the orthopedic wards for a time; when he left, he could always ask her about the cases which he ttad attended. They had the additional sympathy 'of mutual bruises. . Misery loves company, and company so established has a particular significance. With Mollie also, there lingered a vapor of that dream which she had had of this young man. It had been such a vivid dream, so particular in its details. Mollie laughed at herself, but wondered if some day the dream might be realized... ' Anyway, Peter was a nice chap, and such a nice boy needed a bit of guidance from his elders. Not that Mollie felt so “elder;” but she did have a few years advance training with which to forewarn him and advise him. If he wanted advice. IHe seemed to. One morning when she visited a ward where Peter was on duty. ha. aaked hae if

she could maybe give him a few minutes soon to talk over a“matter.” “What sort of matter?” t i“This personality angle of doctoring. It gets beyond me sometimes, and you've been so kind—” "A personality 1 know?” she asked guardedly, her pen busy on a form which she was making out. “Yes. Or I wouldn't ask." Her shoulder twitched toward the crowded ward. “This Isn’t a good place to talk." “Oh, no. But after hours.. “When are you through?” “Five. For an hour.” \ T have office hours untH four. I ; get through about five.” She stalled, and when she smiled, her f rec kies ran together on her cheeks, her tiptilted nose crinkled. “1 could meet you—” “You walk toward my officedown Kingshighway, and then Maryland—we can talk as we go home again/’ \ “Check!” [ \' They met In front of the hotel, and Peter suggested that they go in for a drink. , Mollie agreed. The hotel bar was a popular gathering place for the hospital personnel, especially the doctors. It catered to this patronage, served strange drinks concocted by, and named for, certain doctors. Once a tablecloth on which an ahatomist had drawn Illustrations for a discussion was hung upon the wall: it stayed there until an eagerbeaver student stole it for a souvenir. The hospital people called the place Ward 13. It was a rather odd place, all things considered, but doctors are somewhat hybrid people and ceased to notice the oddness. Albert would know their “poison” and, have It ready before they could order;; no one would disturb a tired intern with four hours off duty should he choose to doze in the corner of a booth. This bar served as a sort of decompression chamber between the tension of their work and the slower pace of outside life. That it was a bar had no significance except to people like Clara Wayne and her fflend Lilly. Albert himself was proud that he sold as many glasses of milk and orange juiee as he did of "real stuff.” l This evening, the place was well filled when Mollie and Peter entered it, Peter beaming with pride in his companion, Mollie, frowning slightly because her favorite table — and Nicholas’ — was occupied. But there was .a booth—she started to it, pulling her brown beret from her head as she went. Peter stopped to speak to Ragsdale and bls wife who sat on stools at the bar. “You travel ip rich company, Shepherd,” drawled Dr. Ragsdale. “Oh, yes..." said” Peter, his shinihg eyes belying the boredom of his tone. The other doctor’s eyes also studied Mollie, as she talked to a waitdr. “Weren’t you the boy with the dull and innocent life?" “flow it’s finly inocent," laughed Peter, starting away. “ ’Bye, you two—l can’t waste any more of my valuable time on residents.” '■ (Ta a*

For some time, the sheriff said, Roth had been given daytime ’trusty" privileges and had ‘‘never made a crooked move.” Like all other prisoners he had been lock-! rd" up securely at night, however, according to the\ sheriff. Sheriff Shraluka, in discussing the escape, again condemned fact that in Indiana mental patients* are.confined In county jails, which have no facilities for handling them. ! ‘ Without a padded cell, the sheriff stated, the life of a mental patient with suicidal tendencies,, depends upon the attention of jail attaches. In this county, he said, the burden falls upon the jail matron-—the sheriff’s wife—since there jis no' turnkey on duty while the sheriff arid deputy are at work. The sheriff said he will confer with prosecutor Severin H. Schurger relative to the filing of jail--01 eak charges against Roth. The latter entered a not guilty jilea to charges of first" degree burglary, btealrfng and entering and grand' larceny at an August hearing.
