By HERMAN N. WNDESEN, MJ). QUITE a number of cases of severe head Injuries have beeri reported ftom boxing. I think it is fair to say that most confirmed fight fans would like to prevent these accidents, as well as any permanent i injury to 'fighters. f They will be glad to hear that medical science is making discoveries that should help protect fighters from becoming “punch drunk.” k' Most people will admit that the professional fighter is not as well protected dS players In sports like „ football and ice hockey. Yet such advances as the Queensberry rules and the neutral corner show that safety measures need not lessen t the competitive values of boxing. Injuries of Two Types We generally recognize two 1 types of injuries frqm boxing. The first is the occasional case of severe hemorrhage or skull fracture resulting from a fight. These 'cases are rare. ' ' * . “ The main concern of the physician who tends a fighter is the .chronic brain damage that may result from continuous fighting. This is the type Os damage leading to the dazed, “punch drunk” fighter. Permanent Damage I It is belfeved that this is due to many repeated concussions, as , well as cuts of the brain. ReneaX- f;

No American wants this country to Sign away its honor, for if It die? the Communists would take advantage ot the weakness and attack free people in other parts of 'the world.

This neglect to include him among the party’s great is in the’new lifepf Willkie, • by his former secretary, Joseph Barnes. probably his internationalist views are the answer. Expounded in his book, “One World/’ which i had a larger sale than any book al non-fiction for many a year, they were the theme of his speeches after his defeat. He died shortly before the 1944 election, and had not then indicated whether he would support Roosevelt toi Dewey. Willkie was, such a vigorous figure and his 1940 race was so remarkable that it is odd that no eiie iraid tribute to his memory.

ed knockouts can cause permanent mental damage. The electro-encephalograph, or EjS.GL, is now being used to study flghtexa’ brains and protect them against this danger. This machine makes recordings of brain waves which reveal whether any damage’has occurred to a fighter’s brain , and also the amount of such damage. It can also be used to warn when there is danger of serious damage. Definite Changes Recorded Twenty-four professional boxers were recently studied with the E.E.G. In nine there were definite changes in the telectro-encephal-ogram. There is some indication that those men who had been knocked out showed more severe E.E.G. changes than those who had riot. In the state where this study 4as made, any fighter whose EJE.G. showed too much damage prevent any permanent brain injury. Periodic E.E.G. ttons of fighters, if made compulsory, could help provide a definite protection to these athletes. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS F. E.: Is gold still being used to treat arthritis?

RIVER C ODY 1J

g r CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO ' IT WAS no surprise to Rawls to find, in the morning, that Jenkyn had made his escape. The cargo had been transferred, and now the Astrid prepared to pull out, leaving her Ulster ship behind. Rawls, as was at the wheel. "If you try any tricks,” Whirter warned him grimly, “I’ll shoot you. I would follow such a course with regret, mindful of the very real services you have rendered us. But I count the Cause bigger than you or myself or all of us put together. Make no mistake about that” He meant it, as Rawls knew. But he’d made up his own mind as completely. This had gone fa|r enough—the A.»trid, the whole rash scheme. Mad as it had been, Whirter had gotten this far, and he might manage to win. Once embarked overland, his men would have no other choice than to back him to the limit, fighting like devils when called upon to do so. If the Indians were convinced that he was on their side, they might wipe out the gold camps, and go on from there to such an orgy of i terror as Whirter had first conceived, while Whirter made a run i back downriver with the loot that he hoped would revive the faltering Confederacy. \ No one could deny that Whirter was giving all he had, risking bis life at every turn, for something in which ne believed. Now that Kathleen was fairly safe, Rawls knew that he could do no less. When Earnshaw became convinced that disaster had overtaken the Astrid, he would take the Varina i back to the Missouri, if it were I humanly possible to do so. Loaded now with the proper cargo for ! Fort Benton, Earnshaw would get it there if he could. There was still on* way to put a stop to Whirter’s ambitious plan. If the Astrid was run hard aground, sO solidly that ft could not be gotten off, the Indians would think of the lot of guns and whiskey ready for the taking. And in their present mood, they’d take! ! 1 It had to be deme today, before pie meeting could be held and an alliance worked out with Whirter. Rawls had no illusions sis to his own chances, once he wrecked the Astrid. Like the others, he would not be going back. He’d try to find Kathleen -for a last word, in the darkness before dawn, before transferring to the Astrid. In the confusion, he hadn’t been able to locate her. There had not been much time. Perhaps it was as well, but it was hard to come to the end of a dream, to know that the awakening of cold reality had forever shattered it. He could almost feel her beside him, as she had stood so many times, watching the river, the moving shores in ever-changing panorama. It seemed as If he could smell the perfume that he always associated with her, a subtle fragrance, bewitching as her quick smile. This was no dream. He grew cold with realization, finding her beside him. "You don’t seem glad to see me, Denny,” Kathleen murmured. "Am I as dreadful as the glimpse of a Sioux?” ■ ■ ■ ■ . r r ;

mm "How can 1 feel glad About you being here, thinking of the Sioux ?” he Asked. "On the Varina, you at least had a chance. That was the on,e thing that made this journey easier sor J me, the hope that you might come out all right” "Meaning that you didn’t expect to come back? Do you think it would seem right to me, in that case ?” There was no coquetry here, but a realization of facts and a frank facing ot them. "I like tt better this way, Denny. I’d have come along, even if it hadn’t been suggested that I should.” So Whirter had been responsible. She saw the trouble in his face, and her own voice was steady. \ “You spoke as though We were getting toward the end of something—to the river’s end, perhaps. I’m not asking what you meant. But \whatever you were going to do, you must go ahead, just the same. Nothing can be allowed to ipake any difference. What must be done is bigger than we are, Denny.” 5 ( 1 ! ' i He was silent, staring ahead, unmindful of the sharp upthrust of boulders from the river bottom, of the torn froth of the current, so like his own mind. She had made a declaration of more than faith, and her willingness to be with him in such a situation was both uplifting and depressing. His rage at Whirter threatened to turn from chili to explosive flame. Urging Kathleen to this journey was proof that the man had cast aside all qualms, that he now woitld stop at nothing to get his way. Rawls had planned to run the Astrid hard aground and be done without delay. Now his hands on the wheel were clammy with sweat, and they continued to creep upriver, the hours wearing by, bis mind a torment. He noted landmarks mechanically, out of long habit. It would be better to wait Until night was close at hand, now that Kathleen was along. That would increase the distance back to the Varina, and lengthen the hazards of reaching it, but any escape from a stranded boat would be impossible by daylight Clouds came with the afternoon, piling dark against the horizon, tom by lightning. For some miles the river had been deep and sluggish, but now it hurried as if impatient to reach some secret rendezvous. The engines made frenzied labor, driving against the sharpness of the current A couple of hundred feet' upstream, Rawls saw what he had been waiting for, half hoping not to find. The outlines were sharply etched; the fluted water turning tp an angry boil as it slid pest told his experienced eyes the exact quality of the obstruction. This was a knifelike rock, and once on that, there would be no getting the Astrid oft again. Even if grasshoppering was possible, the bottom would be sliced out. Kathleen had returned to the pilothouse. Rawls looked at her, marveling at the serenity of her face as she gave him a quick smile, feeling his oivn torn and twisted, but knowing that the moment could not be compromised. His eyes ranged the shores, where once more the cottonwoods came close to the banks, shivering to. Li Li . ! ■ . I.

It was too big, too draught with confusion, a wild wrenching and twisting as though the b° at had been caught in giant glands that were tearing agohy, an ear-shattering sound. The razor edge of the rock was still ahekd, and then, as he was flung violently backward and the hiss; Ot escaping steam rose' like the of devils, Rawls understood. long-overstrained boilers had burst. \' He found himself in the water, surrounded by parts of the disintegrating packet The explosion had torh ;tt apart, smashing with relentless power, and already fire was facing to take over what the spitfe of the steam had left This was hot at all as Rawls had pictured such an event in his mind. It had happened with such speed that the had been torn loose and flung aside, along with whatever happened to be on it Most of Astrid had not fared sb well, rjor had the others aboard hfarl But’ his thought still was for KAthleenS She had been beside him-? J . f ebria was everywhere, coating the river'in a tangled jumble, making it h<rd to pick out individual objects. Something stirred tn the water, and he swam that way, grabbed kt a thrashing arm, whiteiy upfludg. Kathleen’s head came out of the water, hair streaming her eye& wide and dazed. Her fingers found his own wrist and tightened! convulsively, but it was a possessive clutch, free of panic Only flow was the full effect ot the disaster beginning to appear Ther* was a curious lack of screams hnd cries, testifying to th< sw|ft destructiveness of the firsi blast tormented noise of wooc and metal shrieked in final disinte gration, the crackle of flames ris ing as tie other subsided.

The huge enemy soldiers have been sighted among enemy troops during recent months. i‘ “That Mongolian would have been more at ease with a howitzer on his shoulder than a burp gun,’’ McCusker said. “He had massive hands ip which the gun looked like a toy. This Mongolian couldn’t be mowed down with 20 slugs,” One of the four Americans inside the bunker surrendered when the Chinesip began throwing more grenades. , “The Chinks never gave him a chance. They shot him down. They were out to destroy everybody in their way.
