If the Russian leaders are sincere let them prove it by* calling off their ’ front men. Until they do, talk of peace is a mockery. A twin car wreck and one death on U. S. highway 27 north of the city was a poor start on the presummer driving season. Drivers of the cars which struck the unidentified pedestrian on the highway -were not blamed for the death, investigating officers reported. The crash of the two cars near the bridge which spans St. Marys river was one of those Incidents chalked up to the ordinary highway toll of collisions. 0 0 • x .-a Mrs. Clare Boothe Luce has filed her credentials with the President of Italy as ambassador from the United States.

Cites Investment Values Os Bonds T. F. Graliker, chairman of the Adams county U. S. savings bonds committee, today directed attention to the growing investment values of defense bonds owned or being /purchased by local citizens in view'/of recent changes that have occurred in the country’s bond market. He said that the fact the market price of U. S. saving? bonfis is guaranteed is proving a strong factor in making these securities more valuable than ever to the average investor. “There have been recent fluctuations in the market price of many types of bonds,” he said, ‘ but the

Over-Exposure to X-Rays ls\ A Hazard Many Doctors Face

By HERMAN N. BUNDIS EH, M.D. . HEALTH hazards to workers are found in some of our most useful and vital occupations For instance, machine shop workers may get their hands or limbs caught tn machinery which might cause permanentdisability. Those who work with radium are much more subject to a form of cancer of the bone. Painters of luminous watch-dials have been known to have this difficulty, and many have died. Doctors, too, are often exposed to health risks as they work to protect the health of others. Incidence Higher It has been found that doctors who use X-rays a great deal, such as radiologists (X-ray specialists) or dermatologists (skin specialists), _who do not take proper precautions, have a higher rate of leukemia than physicians who do not use X-rays. A recent study has shown that over nine per cent of cancers and related disorders in doctors are due to leukemia. This is higher than the normal ratio for the entire population. More and more doctors are using X-rays and fluoroscopes in diagnosis, and the incidence of leukemia in doctors in general has also risen. Abnormal Rise Leukemia is a disease in which the number of white blood cells shows an abnormal rise both in the blood and blood-forming organs, such as/he bone marrow and spleen. With this, there is a decrease or red blood cells and the normal white cells, so that

mediately, if for no other reason than national defense. Refusing to comment on political subjects, Mr. Truman will probably observe his observations and opinions for his interesting book, which may be published this'year, for which it is reported he will receive S6OO, -> 000. } —o Thene has been so much chopping oi the foreign relief bill that other tpembers of congress figure to givb the. bill a few. heavy strokes ; before they vote on the appropriation. Contrary to President Eisenhower’s recommendation for $5.8 billions, a move is'on in the senate to whittle the bill down tc| $4.7 billions. The smaller appropriation may upset plans for the European army and embarrass the administration in its comitments to assist the foreign countries in _ the build-up of defense armies. (Right now the undercurrent against foreign relief is pressured by the isolation group in congress. — day cattle rustlers and grain thieves are operating in a tier of yrestern counties in the 1 state. Tim night raiders load cattle unto a truck, butcher the animal on thp highway and deliver it at the nejtt stop. Grain is stolen from barijs and elevators. The FBI entered the case because" the thieves entered elevators thatstored government grain. The gang may move to the eastern i side of the state in order to move stolen gooes across into Ohio. Beon the al irt for these highway robbers and notify law enforcement officers if you notice a suspicious looking outfit. You might also use thje shot gun if they trespass on your farm.

.market prile of U. S. savings bonds has remained and will remain constant. In fact, the market price or ‘The cash in” price of these bonds is written into the face of the bond - thus guaranteeing the owner _as much money as he paid for t&e bond plus interest. “Therefore, fluctuations in the prices of other types of ibonds need not causd even the slightest apprehension in the minds of U. S. savings bonds owners and buyers. Their projection against market price fluctuations is guaranteed in writing by t'he United States government.” v if you have something to sell or rooms for rent, try a Democrat Want Ad. It brings results.

I the person becomes anemic. Many Other organs and tissues are not bothered when hit by X-rays and rays from radium. The borte marrow which produces white blood ceUs is affected, however, and may show cancerous changes. Many doctors use a protective apron and gloves when exposed to X-rays. However, these leave a great part of the body still exposed. A new lead-glass fabric gown made of plastic has been invented to protect physicians from these hazards. Damage Accumulates If measures are not taken tc protect the doctor from X-ray ex- . posure, the damage accumulates, sooner or later it results in cancer, depending on the physician’i individual disposition toward cancer, i ’ Patients need not fear exposure to X-rays, because they get only a measured amount of exposure, as prescribed by the physician. The danger to the doctor comes from repeated exposure in the course of treating patients, when he does not take the proper protective measures. QUESTION AND ANSWER J. E.: Can rifle shooting cause . arthritis to one’s shooting shoulder? Answer! Any type of jarring or repeated pressure, such as occurs from the kick of a rifle, can cause osteoarthritis, which is a form of arthritis, to occur in the shoulder joint where the handle of the gun is held.

SYNOPSIS Bill Cantlli’a acquaintance with Janey Nelson had been brief back there in Philadelphia, but for all that he'd fallen tn\ love with this nice, demure Chicago night club girl. She had given him a key to her apartment, daring him to come to the Windy City aqd to use that key tome time! And so he'd taken ■ leave from his sleuthing job in Philadelphia and we find him now seated alone at night in Miss Nelson's abode, impatiently awaiting her return from her night club chore. Here presently he is joined by a stranger, a whitefaced. somber man who says that he too must see Miss Nelson tonight. As both men sit in sullen silence, the telephone rings and Bill sprints to answer its summons. CHAPTER FOUR THE ADDRESS had given me was a walk-up in a discouraged, rooming-house neighborhood. There were ashcans along the curbing, quite a few lean, sneering cats creeping along the gutter and a general air of pinched and Utter poverty. This was a place you took yourself when you hit the sixties or seventies without kids or a pension, and rented a cheap room and waited to die. The cops would find you some morning, lying in bed, mouth open, cold and stiff, and nothing but a source of unpleasantness to the other tenants. 1 stepped into a wood-paneled hallway, m which there was an old-fashioned halltree, and a dark, dust-s pecked reproduction of Raphael's Madonna oj the Chair.

The place had a sdurpickle smell, and would probably . fall down some night unless the termites devoured it completely. 1 found a faded number ”26" on a door and knocked twice. I wasn’t liking any of this: the place, the i old woman or the fear I’d heard in Janey’s voice. “Janey, it’s me, Bill,” I said. There was no answer, no stir within the room. X tried the knob and rt turned. I pushed the door inward and stepped into a musty blackness. My hand moved to the wall automatically, fumbled around and found a light switch. 1 snapped it downward, and light poured over the room from a bare unshaded bulb hanging from the ceiling by a four-foot cord. The light poured over a harrow miserable room furnished with a sagging bed, a rocker with a broken arm and an unpainted chest of drawers. I guess 1 didn't see all pf those things in that first moment. Probably 1 noticed them later. Now, in this first instant, 1 was staring at Janey, and aware only of the ftffl- ! ous, sickening beat of my heart. | I didn’t speak to her; there would have been no point tn it? f didn’t move, either; there was no reason to move. 1 just stood there, add, Mead & Co., Inc. ‘ j&tetrltsuted by 1

staring at her sprawled lifeless body, and hearing,/ but faintly, as it the sound came rrom a long way off, the furious, nauseating stroke of my heart. She was lying on the bed, a slim honest blonde, with wide, deep blue eyes, staring sightlessly now at the unsluuied bulb that hung from the ceiling.. Janey’s wrists Were crossed above her head and bound to the iron frame of the bed with a sheer silk stocking. There was a silk stocking about her throat, knotted so tightly that it;was almost Jost in folds of flesh. She had been wearing a black taffeta dress with a spray of violets pinned to the left shoulder. The skirt of the dress was drawn up to the middle of her thighs, and her legs were bare. Janey’s shoes, black anklestrap sandals, lay beside the bed, and her bag and wrap were on the ; chair. She had been kicking and twisting helplessly until she died. I knew that from the strained position of her body, and the agonized sprawl of her slim white legs. 1 I stepped back toward the door, hearing the creak of the rotten floor under my shoes and the /harsh, unnatural sound of my breathing. I shouted down the stairs, shouted for the gray-haired /crone of a landlady, and I then went back into that cheap and miserable room and stared down at Janey. I began to pound my right fist into the palm of my left hand, and X heard my voice cursing in a low, raging monotone. The landlady came clattering up the steps a moment or so later, and pushed past me into the room. I was still cursing and pounding my hands together when she finally got her -breath and Began to scream in a high, whinnylng-yoice. (To Be Continued) \ OSg features K ' r

NEW YORK UP — Adlai & Stevenson wrote today that, the’ Nationalist Chinese army “is pot so strong as peoplp think” and has ho great chance today of rallying millions of Communist-ruled Chinese to its support.
