Chemists trace the cause of death of fish in St. Marys river to phenol washed from oil used on the roads. There is a case where chlorophyll could be used. ♦ . 0 Q | With Second street closed for repairs, most people prefer traffic and occasional congestion to the void that exists when cars aren’t parked along the curb. —o Former President Hoover looks hale and hearty, his most recent picture being snapped Sunday at Former President Teddy Roosevelt’s home on Sagamore Hill. Mr. Hoover is 78 and his retirement from public office probably has added years to his life. —IO 0 People of Britain are not unaware of the work that Is before them. They paused long enough to crown their beloved Queen, but now back at work, a bit sorry that the holiday could not have lasted longer, but quite willing to face what is ahead. With that kind of an attitude they should establish a new Elizabethan era. 0 0 Mercer Avenue and a three block stretch in Second street are getting a new floor covering. The resurfacing job is being done by crews from the Meshberger Stone Company, who man ingenious equipment with a “know how” that soon covers the area under construction. Citizens hope it will not be necessary to dig into the newly resurfaced streets before the black-top layer crumbles from traffic and spring thaws. ■—r Pay and pay seems to be the ' v / policy in Washington this year. On top of the high taxes that still prevail, the Post Office department will ask for higher postage rates, including those for first class mail. Postage rates for newspapers were hiked last year and another boost is slated for second class matter. The department is operating in the red and presumably the easiest method is to increase rates, rather than cut Overin wiping out the deficit. However, considering what the postaL.setrice is and how easily it is to send a letter across the country, Americans still get a bargain.

Most Injuries to the, Knee Produce Fluid in the Joint

By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. THE knee is a fairly sturdy joint, made to stand many hard knocks. Yet the doctor can always depend on a good number of knee injuries every year, many Involving water on the knee. Some of these are sure to be due to the wide popularity of football, not only college and professional games, in which the players are fairly well padded, but more especially the sandlot games all over the country. Bones Protected Rarely are the knee bones Injured in these accidents, for they are well protected by ligaments and other tissues. Injuries to the supporting ligaments are common, however, especially when youngsters are engaged in athletics. Usually the injury comes from the sudden turning in of the knee while running. A person with a strained knee ligament usually walks with a slight limp, and has to keep the knee slightly bent. In more severe injuries we find an unstable or "trick” knee, and the person may not be able to walk. Tendon injuries usually do not show up on X-ray pictures, but torn ligaments may reveal themselves by pain and tenderness. Fluid Can Be Removed Some fluid in the knee is usual even in the mildest cases. If fluid collects following injury to a ligament, a physician can remove it with a sterile needle and syringe. If he finds that the fluid Is bloody- it is a likely sign that

Scientists refuse to admit that there is any possibility of atomic explosions affecting the weather or causing tornadoes. The amount of natural disturbance caused by an ordinary thunderstorm is equal to the power of many atomic explosions, these scientists contend. They explain that the recent twisters are abnormal but add that weather and climate are always abnormal somewhere. Some weather experts say that clashes of hot air from the Gulf of Mexico and cold air Irom Canada have resulted in the tornados. Seasoned observers doubt whether this explanation will satisfy the Congressmen who wish to investigate. It is possible that some of the hot air concerned with the storms will be recorded in congress. v 0 0 Must Remain Strong:— Sherman Adams, the “assistant President,” warns that end of the Korean fighting will not mean the end of the Communist threat against the free woVld. He pointed out that any let-down on the part of the United States may amount to an invitation to Russia to strike again. Adams recalled his service in Congress in 1946 when tremendous pressure was exerted to bring home the veterans of World War 11. The public reaction was a natural and understandable one. We were tired of war, we wanted to show our appreciation of the efforts of our servicemen by returning them to civilian life as quickly as was possible. Our attitude toward remaining strong followed a similar course. As a result when the crisis came in Koiea we found our strength had slipped away and many of the men discharged after. World War II had to be called back into service. Any. idea" that we can turn our back on Korea once the fighting has stopped is foolish and dangerous. If we desert Korea we will be betraying the men who have already, sacrificed so much in that battle. This is no time to relax on - to indulge, our inherent distaste for strong military forces when we are not actually at war.

an injured ligament is to blame At other times a fatty type oi fluid may be a sign of certain knee joint fractures which do not show up with X-rays. In any case, removing the fluid usually relieves the pain in the knee. Rest tb an injured knee is very important. Crutches will relieve the leg of bearing weight, and a type of elastic bandage gives support. Mild injuries will permit weight bearing as soon as the soreness disappears. May Need Splinting In severe injuries, however, the leg may have to be kept in a splint or cast for seven to ten days, and in extreme cases it may have to be splinted as long as four weeks. Another type of knee damage commonly bothers housemaids and carpet layers, who are on their knees a great deal. The repeated small injuries month after month, lead to a painful disability known as bursitis. This is an inflammation and swelling of the bursa, a small sac in the front of the knee, that lubricates the knee joint. Many times fluid has to be removed from an inflamed bursa in order to bring relief. QUESTION AND ANSWER B. M.: Whenever I drink a warm drink, I perspire profusely. What causes this? Answer: The taking of any warm beverage may cause a person to perspire, due to the effect of the warm drink on the nervous mechanism-

Cruise 0 F. DRACO

CHAPTER ONE FROM the beginning there was something strange about that cruise. Darius Opdyke brought us all on board at different times, as it he were afraid to have his guests meet each other until they were well at sea. Robert and 1 were on the list by accident. At least i like to U|ink so. But before the Spirttus limped back to port, we had such a demonstration of the power of evil to corrode, to reach out even from beyond the grave, that sometimes 1 almost believe we were part of the plot. The sinister old man might have heard something which made him Consider us fair game'... No, I won’t believe it. We were there by accident.. Robert Tintagel is my English husband. 1 met him when I was a WAC in London, on the night when they dropped the incendiaries on our headquarters in Grosvenor Square, or Eisenhower Plats, as the British were beginning to call it. We were married three weeks later. Everybody was short of time in those days. 1 saw a young captain tn the Commandos, and the man, then, now, and always, who was the only one for me. If I had known that he was a ninth baron besides, complete with a family curse, and enslaved by a moldering old house, 1 might have been scared off. I'm glad 1 wasn’t. We’ve had some interesting times, as Robert says when he is teasing. I’m from Wyoming myself. My name Is Virginia and my hair is red. so naturally I get called Ginger. When terrible things began to happen on that unholy cruise, we could not prevent them, we could not change events. When 1 was first asked to write out the account cf it, I felt I could not bear going over it again—but afterwards I decided that it would be a relief, like going to confession, or to a psychiatrist’s couch. We blundered into it lightheartedly. No intuition warned us, no presentiments held us back. We had been married five years, and

Is it really considered good taste for a man to wear a handkerchief in his breast pocket? j , \ A. Yes, it is. The handkerchief should not,' however, give the appearance of careful arrangement Q. Are opera glasses considered stylish? A. This is not a question of style, ibut of usefulness. Opera glasses are to help the spectator get a clearer view of the performers. It is not good form to use them between acts to stare at oth'pr persons in the audience. > Q. Would it be proper sos us to mail out announcements of the adoption of a new baby, just as though it were our <r.. - n child? A. This is perfectly proper.

we were on our way for the first time to visit my home —a .trip made passible by the fact that my brother itad decided to buy out my share of our dude ranch. I was homesick for the mountains, and yet 1 wasn’t tn a hurry to get there. Both of my parents died just before 1 went into the Army, and Tom married while 1 was away. It was going to be strange to see the old place under new management, although of course I was prepared to like my Unknown sister-in-law. We took naif the money and patched Chillstone so that it could be rented for two years to rich Americans. There are still some left. Then we picked up Bobby, our baby son, and started but. We had intended to leave Frothingham, Robert’s last surviving servant, with the place, but thej old man seemed so upset about it that we brought him along. After watching him make the transition from butler to baby nurse, no one can tell me the British aren't adaptable. < Our first stop was to visit Robert’s godmother, Lisa Tremaine, in Nassau. Her friends in England never understood her moving out there when her husband died. St. Helena, 1943, they called it. But it did not seem strange to me that she should have wanted to escape the English winter. She was certainly the queen of the place by the, time we arrived, and I liked her, although 1 found it hard to call her "Lisa,” as she tn her old-fashioned 1920 way insisted we should do. We had been there a week or so, when she told us about ah invitation from an old acquaintance of hers, Darius Opdyke, to Cruise for three weeks on his yacht down the coast of South America. We were included, and it seemed too good to miss, as we could never afford much travel bn our own. Bobs could stay with Frothingham in Lisa’s well-run house in Nassau. "It will be an experience for you,** she said. “He came down from ,New York last year and

Forced Landing By Plane, 14 Aboard I CHIDLICOTHE, Mo., UP — A Braniff International Airways plane, en route to Kansas City from Chicago with 14 persons aboard, made a forced landing here late Monday while emergency fire fighting equipment stood by. There was no fire. The pilot. Jerry Jericno, said he decided to land because an instrument indicated there was a possibility of a blaze in one of the engines.

made quite an impression. Robber barons used to wall themselves up in castles, now they isolate themselves on yachts.” We should not have gone without having met the map. My mother always said not tp accept favors from strangers. She would have told me 1 “went back on my rais-ir.g’’-—and she would have , been right. But if ever a mistake was paid for promptly and in full, this one was. Our host invited us on board for dinner the night before sailing, which seemed natural but it was strange that we were the only guests, as we had understood that the party would include eight. It was stranger still when he rose immediately after dinner and-an-nounced that we had better go to our cabins right away and get a good night's rest. It sounded .like an order, and we took it so. ■ Even Lady Tremaine raised her eyebrows and went. As a rule, 1 like everybody. Robert complains that my troubles come from never believing the worbt until it has happened. He takes the opposite trail, and by pooling our tendencies we manage to meet in the middle. But 1 began to see that I was going to have trouble liking Darius Opdyke —and that is just when I should have taken my baggage and gone ashore. Only it would have required a social courage I haven't got. We found ourselves in cabins side oy side, but without a‘door connecting them. We would have preferred to be together, but the single bed in each was narrow and bolted to the floor. 1 It was much too early to settle down, So after we undressed Robert came tn and we sat on my bed looking out °* the porthole. We put out the lights because the harbor was fabulous in the moonlight. Then we discovered that we were just over the landing ladder on the yacht’s side, and of course we interested to see who the other guests were gping to be. (To Be Continued} *

r COUNTY AGENTS *1 I COLUMN ♦ —— ♦ \ Chinch Bugs Adult chinch bugs, states county agent L. E. Archbold, are now migrating to thin stands of wheat, oats, and rye to lay their eggs. Archbold, in company with (Ray Schanding, Monmouth vocational agriculture instructor, first found them in Union township. 50 or more adult chinch bugs were found in a three foot row of wheat. 15 or more usually is an indication of a heavy infestation. The county extension office, says Archbold, has about three tons of di-nitro dust that can be used to set up chinch bug barriers. He urges farmers to examine their small grain closely for chinch bugs. To do so, the wheat should be grasped within a few. inches of the ground and shaken. If present, the chinch bugs will move to where they can be seen. Chinch bug eggs will hatch within about 10 days. Then the little red nymphs will run when the grain stalks are shaken. This is the time to prepare to make the barriers. To make a di-nitro barrier the ground in the corn field should be

made smoth by dragging a plank. The di-nitro dust should lie applied in a two inch band on the smooth surface, using a pound of di-nitro to the rod. The barrier will last for about a week unless there is a heavy rain. The barrier should be patroled daily to repair any breaks. Farmers needing di-nitro dust should first come to the extension office for an order. They will then be directed to where it can be picked up. : \ When the supply of di-hitro dust is exhausted or- the chinch bugs get into the corn they can tJte sprayed with a new chemical call~ ed dieldrin. Dieldrin can also be used to establish a barrier. A four rod strip between the corn and wheat should be laid down before the bugs leave the wheat: Care should be taken not to spray the chemical on the grain. Roughage sprayed with dieldrin should not be ted to livestock. • Red-Leaf A destructive disease known as red-leaf is attacking Indiana oats, according to L. <E. Archbold, county agent. Red-leaf usually attacks plants about the time that shoots begin j to elongate rapidly. Leaves first near the base of tlje plant\ and later at the top. Affected leaves turn a reddish-brown or redi color,, from which has come the name. The disease "is caused by a virus, discovered only last year, and is known to be spread by aphids or green plant lice. Usually the affected plants occur in patches varying from one to several feet in diameter. Infected plants produce .much reduced yields of light weight grain. At maturity the patches of infected plants take on a faded gray color and are shorter than the surrounding healthy, yellowplants. No control is yet known for the disease. A search for resistant varieties is made by Purdue plant pathologists. Court News Marriage Licenses Robert S. McCreary, 21. and Roberta Thompson, IS, both of Ne'w Castle, Pa.
