Since 1946 the Army has re- - «- 4H rn JEL~ ° rer LSOO handicapped duty. Among this num-, her are many amputees and crippled men Who suffered their in--juries in the line of duty. They fill administrative posts of responsibility and their records have justified the Army’s faith , in their ability. The return of these men to duty serves several >,phrposes. It allows the handicapped soldiers to pursue useful careers in the Army and provides a group of- efficient men, whose loyalty to duty has been tried under fire, for important army jobs. The wounded veterans are a source of inspiration to recruits just beginning their service.

New Type Os Transfusion Aids Some Severe Cases Os Shock

W HERMAN N. IUNDESEN, M-D. A NEW type of blood transfusion has brought good results in severe cases of shock. The blood v is injected into one of the arteries supplying the brain. I should like to point out that when a doctor speaks of “shock” he usually does not mean an electric shock, or any violent injury or nervous attack. “Shock” usu- > ally means, a breakdown of the 1 \ blood circulation, which seriously cuts dotfn the blood supply to some of the vital organs. This condition. often results from a severe injury or difficult surgical operation. / ' Usual Method Most cases of severe shock can be helped by the usual method of injecting blood and blood plasma into a- vein. However, in certain cases, which are few, the shock may prove difficult to combat—even impossible to check. In the lathr cases, medicine is useless and the shock condition usually leads to death. .-The main difficulty in treating most cases of shock, however, is 1 ? the effect of the shock on the brain. If the blood supply to the brain is too small for too long a time, permanent damage of some sort usually results. "OlMimfiltfte itte a» artery

Claude Biwers wrote of it as “The Tragic Era.” It was the time of reeowtruction with its terrible havoc in the South, of the corruption of tlie Grant administration, of the Tweed ring in New York City, of chicanery and downright crookednt «s in Wall Street, ot the bloody railroad strike of 1877. Everywhere a person might turn, the outlook was gloomy, yet the nation energed from the mess, and made groat moral gains both in business and in politics. Remembering this, It i may still be too early :o deepair Os the United States. It is a Well known fact that cabinet members must have a back-log ot capital to serve in theee official positions, for their salaries do not meet the cost of living and entertaining Washington. It is hot believed that At-torney-General McGrath is a rich man, but evidently when he took the post he had finances which permitted him to carry the general overhead. Now, a congressional committee wants to know .his financial worth. We doubt if \ . ' • that is any !of the committee’s business, presuming of course that.the Attorney-General has not been mixed Up lb any shady deals ft his office. No wonder that men with ability and enough money to live in shie from tak- I ing government jobs r Roads Os Rubber:— Motorists are watching with interest an experiment with, rubber- • ' " -r ■ H J I ! 1 ■ a* ■ t 8 - ived roads in j Canada. In some parts of that country roads paved with a mixture of asphalt and natural rubber have j been in use for over two years With good results. Experiments with [ rubber roads in Europe show that the addition ot rubber to asphalt adds years to the life of the road, lessens the need of maintenance, helps prevent ice formation and gives automobiles a better braking surface. ? h ' There may be several drawbacks to rubber roadi» They cost more to bUild than ordinary asphalt highways and natural rubber can become a Scarce commodity, as Americans learned during World War 11. But with highways playing an - t important part in modern living ans suggestion or idea Ms to how they can be built better is bound to be inter- > esting. . Many a motorist who bounces along a bumpy road might wish that it Were paved n ■ r 1 i I With rubber. 1 i ' ' : i . ’ r i- ' h i ■ ?u? ■ n —. d—<.

have been tried with a few patients who were in severe shock. In this condition, the pulse can hardly be felt, the breathing is very shallow, and the heart and lung action have almost stopped. The usual methods of treating shock had failed to held these patients, but results with the new method were good. VI ji Close to Brain ‘L Some doctors believe that the! best way to give the transfusion: is into an artery Close to the brain, such as the carotid ofthe neck. The blood is directed upward toward the brata, increasing the blood supply to that organ and | reducing the danger Os permanent damage. N : j It is claimed that this transfusion, which gives support to the nervous centers rather than the heart c’enters, protects the brain from much damage, and gives the patient a better • chance to recover. QUESTIONS AN» ANSWERS T. L. E.: Can nose drops be harmful if used continually? Answer: The continual use of certain types of nose drops might cause what is known is hypertrophic rhinitis, and a more or less chronic .inflammation and i o; emt next titsnM. ’ .

Do this by washing with benzine or alcohol Dry thoroughly before applying first coat of paint. Straight white lead-lin-seed oil paint containing some turpentine is a satisfactory first coat. Over this may be applied the desired color paint. Unpleasant Medicine j. If medicine is disagreeable to take, hold a piece of ice in the mouth for two or three minutes before taking. It will ; then not taste nearly so bad. , Double Thread! When sewing with a double thread, make a knot in ; each end and draw through as udual.

| I CHAPTER THIRTEEN ( THERE was a light tap on the doox\the uniformed patrolman came in, deposited two containers on the desk, handed one to Muggay. "The one on the left is black," he told Liddell. The inspector waited until the door had closed behind the cop, reached over, took one of the containers, gouged the top out of it "Besides, rm curious to get a look at this famous package. The one that nobody but you seems to have seen." i i ••You’ll get a look at iti As soon as I lay my hands on the mob that hijacked IL” Liddell promised. “And the only way Fm going to be able to do that is if you string along on this identification." Herlehy nodded, swirled the coffee abound the inside of the container. "Suppose by some freak chance Muggsy does make one of these guns in Identification section. Naturally, you’re going to turn him over to us to handle?” | “Naturally," Liddell lied blandly. Herlehy grinned, took a sip of the coffee, then stirred ft with a finger. “Come clean. What are you really going to do if you catch up with these guys?" .Liddell shrugged. "Just have a little talk with them.” "Suppose they don’t talk?* Liddell picked up his container of coffee. Cupped his hands around it, smiled frostily. “Want to bet?" Herlehy sighed, shrugged. "I don’t suppose it would be any use to try to convince you it’d be a lot - smarter to let us handle him ?’’j “Maybe you don’t know :the right questions,” Liddell countered. q "Or the right way to ask them ?” Liddell shrugged. “Could bet* i Herlehy turned to the girl. "You really think you’d recognize this guy if you saw him again, Muggsy?” She nodded. ‘Td know the leader all right. He was the one that slugged Johnny. I’ll know him if I see him again.” Herlehy tapped on the edge of the desk with stubby fingers, finally nodded. "Okay, let’s go down to Identification and see how good that memory of yours really Js.” | He swung back to Liddell, “But let’s you and me understand’each other, LiddelL I’m going to play ball with you on this ope.. But that doesn’t mean I’m giving you a hunting license. If you get to this guy before we do, I want' to hear about It. While he’s still alive!”* Liddell nodded. "It’s a deal, inspector.” I Herlehy drained his container, crushed it into a ball, tossed it at the waste basket “Maybe I’m sticking my neck out but Tve got a funny feeling' that there’s a dot more to this one than appears on the surface. |This isn’t just the murder of a floater. , And maybe a . guy like lyoUi with a personal stake in it, and not tied hand and foot by regulations, can make some sense out of it" “I intend to,” Liddell grunted. ”Qkay.

eight bait Til take the Chance. But I’ll expect you to level with me all the way." Liddell nodded. Herlehy got up from behind the desk. "All right, as long as we all understand each other, let’s gat the show on the road.” He led Liddell and the girl down a long corridor, lined with frosted glass doors, turned at a sharp right angle, brought up at a door labeled “Identification Section.” Herlehy opened the door, led the way in. ? f t The room was huge, lined on three sides with mammoth filing cabinets. In the center of the room, under large overhead lights, were two long library-type tables A man wearing a lieutenant’s badge pinned *to his blue serge suit sat at a small oak desk near the door, riffling through a stack of filing cards. He looked up, smiled at Herlehy. “Hi, inspector, you don’t get back here very often these days. 0 He looked from Herlehy to Liddell and the girl, back to Herlehy. “Going to do some! fishing?” “Yeah, Martin. This is Ronnie Kiely of the Advance and, Johnny Liddell, a private, eye. Miss Kiely thinks she can identify one of your boarders. Lieutenant Martin is ifi charge down here, Muggsy," he added. "You think your man has gone through our fishbowl, eh, Miss Kiely?” the lieutenant asked. “Ifi he has, we’ll find him for you.” He drew a large manila pad in front of him. “Suppose you tell me something about him. That may make It easier.” ) $ Muggsy looked to Liddell for help. “Where do I start ?’’ 1 “Well, I got a few fleeting im-’ pressions of him that might help,” Liddell “He's a gunman. I think he probably puts his, gun up for hire. He must be about my height, a right hander.” He felt the tender spot on Ms head. ' The lieutenant took some notod "That’s all you saw of him?” , “I didn’t have much of a chance. He was behind me most of the time. Miss Kiely got a better look at him.” *' “How about it. Miss Kiely ?” the lieutenant asked patiently. “Like Johnny says, he was about his height. A lot lighter, though. I—-I think his hair was black. He talked like some kind of foreigner. The lieutenant nodded, made some notes. “How about any peculiarities in the way he walked or. talked? Any deformities, marks of any kind?” he asked. Muggsy started to shake her head, stopped. “Do you mean skin blemishes? Things like that?” "Anything at all. The way he parted his hair, whether he u ore glasses or jewelry. Acne. Birthmarks. Anything.” "I don’t know about his hair. He was wearing a hat, but I d|d notice home kind of a mark under Ms right car. Sort of like a large frcdrlc** 9 ’ i ’’Nothing else?” the Identification man asked. : I Muggsy caught her lower lip between her toe th. coaoedtoatlil, flrmfty swefik her head. “That’s ill

1 remember. But if 1 >saw him, ll’d know him.” * I The lieutenant nodded again, finished his notes. ’We’ll get you some pictures to look at, Miss Kiely.” He got up from behind toe desk, walked over, to a library table, pulled out a chair for her. Liddell and Herlehy found chairs next to her. ‘Til be right back,” the lieutenant promised. He disappeared through the Corridor door, returned in a few minutes with two patrolmen. They immediately busied themselves at the huge files! started bringing drawers of classified pictures to set* in front of the girt The lieutenant returned to his desk, busied himself with his filing cards. Liddell and Herlehy leaned back in their chairs, wat c h eld Muggsy study picture after picture. Several hours later, she stopped at a picture, chewed on the end of her fingernail. “Got him?” Liddell asked. ! ‘ “I—l don’tknow. I think this looks like film.” i < Herlehy stood in back of the girl s chair! looked over her shoulder at the card. "Luhfar, Dominick,” he read. He looked up at LiddelL “How about it, Johnny. He look familiar to you?” Liddell scared at the hard face in the file, | scowled in concentration, finally shook his head. , “I didn’t get a good enough look at him. It cotlid be.” s "Let’s geti the rundown on him," Herlehy suggested. He lifted the card out of Ithe file, turned it over. “5 ft 10 ifi., sallow complexion; about 160 pounds, dark hair, brown eyes. Scar in upper left quadrant, ? knife scar on right arm, brdWn Skin blemishes prominent body and right jaw.” He looked up. "founds like him." , J '"l’m almost sure it is, inspector!” Muggsy told hini wearily. “It's just that after you’ve looked at so many pictures they all begin to look alike." Herlehy niodded. "Here’s something for you, Liddell,” he referred back to the card. “Known narcotic addiction. Dangerous." He replaced the card in the file. “What do you think?” Liddell jotted the name down on the back of an envelope. “I think it mightn't be a bad idea to have a talk with him." < "I didn’t mean that. He’s a known killer.” “Sowhat?l” Herlehy shrugged. “Lunfar. Ben Ceria. This deal doesn’t sound like the kind a guy should go up against alone. Why don’t you sit tight until we flush Lunfar out for you, Liddell?" “I think jl can do the job quicker.” V r Herlehy grjunted. “How can yo.U do a job like this quicker than 18,000 trained men?” "They’ve got other things on their mind. Me. there’s only one thing I’m interested in. Finding him. Believe I me, inspector, I’ll do the job quicker.!’ Herlehy shrugged, the lieutenant in charge, Jed the way tack to his office.
