Civil service was designed to take politics out of government employment. Now politics is tak-. ing civil service from the jobs. O o>— Mark f Purcell, the Rushville weather . prophet, says Indiana will be favored with good harvest weather next fall. All of us will buy a share in that forecast. O 0 We may have our tornadoes and freakish storms, but there are some dangers that we escape. A Norwegian coalmining settlement in the Arctic island of Spitsbergen has been attacked by a runaway glacier, which destroyed a hospital and two other buildings and killed two people. 0 0 This newspaper extends congratulations to The Decatur Castling Company on its thirty-third anniversary of operation in this city. Located here in 1920, this progressive and nationally known manufacturer of gray-iron castings, enlarged and modernized its plant several years ago. It provides steady employment for nearly 100 co-workers, 58 of whom have been w’ith the company five years or more and seven with 25 or more years of continual service. It is one of the most substantial and best foundries in the United States. o o Postmaster General Summerfield will not wipe out the postal deficit with his boost in firstclass out-of-town postage and air mail rates. IJis proposal to hike mail rates to four cents and air mail postage to seven cents will increase income by about >240 million, compkfetf' the |6OO million deficit. Newspaper postage rates go up another ten percent next April, making a total increase of 30 percent in three years. The people do not have serious objection to paying w’hat postal service is worth, if balancing the budget will bring a reduction in federal taxes. 0 0 A 100-year-old New York man, who was born in Minsk, Russia, is seeking his citizenship papers. He came to this country at the age of 77. His friends advised him against trying to become a citizen, for they thought he would not live to<= accomplish that goal.

New Penicillin Combinations Overcome Former Difficulties

' ly HERMAN H. BUNDESEN, M.D. ' WITH the discovery of one new wonder drug after another, it should be remembered that the old standby, penicillin, was the original wonder drug, discovered in a mdld. Penicillin has progressed from its early days, when it had to be given every three hours in order to keep up an adequate blood level. Now, in certain cases, a combination of penicillin with other substances to form a longacting salt of penicillin has been found which is effective for as long as seven to ten days, with just one shot, Early Difficulty ; , ' One of the early difficulties , with the then new and wonderful drug was the necessity of giving it so often. Medical scientists then devised a mixture of penicillin in oil and beeswax. With this mixture it was possible to give injections about every sixteen hours or so. However, this .type of injection was very painful to the patient and brought many allergic reactions. It was then found that penicillin, when mixed with a local ‘anesthetic agent known as procaine or novocain, did not eliminate pain at the site of Injection as was Intended, but did give a high blood level of penicillin for • twenty-four hours. Also, many of the allergic reactions due to the 'oil and beeswax were eliminated. One Daily Injection This mixture of procaine and penicillin enables the physician to give an injection of three hundred thousand units or more of penicillin dally In one shot which

Now he knows they were wrong and he intends to delay no longer. American citizenship is a proud status. Some of us who are born with it never fully realize how precious it is. Those who be.come citizens by pledging their heart and loyalty to the things America Stands for often know too well what it means to live in countries where freedom does not exist. —o4—«— Van R. Grant, whose death occurred yesterday in Rensselaer, operated a motion picture theater in this city in the mid-twenties. Although a resident here only a few years, he was actively identified with the civic and business life of the community. Returning to Rensselaer he entered the retail business and developed a modern ready-to-wear and general apparel shop. He visited here often and always maintained interest in Decatur’s expanding housing and industrial developments. Stricken several months ago, meager was the hope for his recovery. His death brings sorrow to his local friends. This newspaper extends sympathy to members of his family. 0 0 The building of wings to the Adams County Memorial hospital will furnish quarters for additional surgery and delivery rooms, Xray and technical laboratories. Other quarters desired in a modern hospital can be included, along with more bedrooms, when final plans are prepared tor the improvement. The >400,000 asked by the hospital trustees to finance the additions and modernization of the building is not excessive, for it represents only one percent of the net assessed valuation of taxable property in the county. An over-all goal of a 100 bed capacity hospital does not mean that 50 bedrooms will be added to the present building, as the trustees plan to incorporate other needed facilities and quarters in the general construction contract. One good hospital in a county the size of Adams/can become one of the greatest assets in the community and with that in mind people in every corner of the county have good reason to support the hospital modernization program.

will keep a high enough level ol penicillin in the blood stream to fight infection. Nearly all types of Infections sensitive to penicillin can be treated by this once-daily injection. However, certain types ol meningitis that are sensitive to penicillin may need it in higher dosages. , Action Increased Penicillin also can be mixed with other substances to increase its long action. Penicillin combined with aluminum monostearate in oil can give a high level of penicillin in the blood for two to three days. This type of treatment is being used mainly for cases of syphilis which require treatment over longer periods of time. Recently, a salt of penicillin has been used which keeps Itself in the blood stream for seven to ten days. This type may be very effective as a preventative for rheumatic fever. Now, with the data much more complete on what penicillin can and cannot do, it can be estimated that many hundreds of thousands of lives have been saved and will be saved in the future by this forerunner of the wonder drugs. QUESTION AND ANSWER Mrs. V. B.: I have cramps in my legs nightly. I am sixty-four years old. Is there anything that might be of help? Answer: Night cramps usually can be controlled very well by the use of quinine. However, this drug should only be taken under . the direction of a physician.

SVNOFSIS . The eight guest-passengers aboard the yacht 'Spiritus" out of Nassau. Bahamas, are gripped by terror when a shot is fired in the night and their host and owner of the craft, wealthy, eccentric Darius Opdyke is reported missing from the vessel. Sardonic old Jonas, the ship's captain, assembles his passengers in the salon, advising them that Opdyke had a premonition of meeting with foul play on the voyage, and had consequently left his will in Jonas’ keeping. The document decrees that the "Spiritus” continue along her course toward South America for seven days, by the end of which period Mr. Opdyke had believed his killer would be revealed. Eagle-eyed Stewardess Macbeth is placed in charge o< the women and she watches over them like a jailor. The strain of all this causes sensitive little Gay Walton, movie actress, to become hysterical and Dr. Reuben Randolph, a psychiatrist, comforts her. Elderly Lady Lisa Tremaine. and Larry Redding, a broker, and Frederick Brown, a lawyer, each admit having quarreled with their host prior to his disappearance. CHAPTER TEN RANDOLPH seemed pleased at the discomfiture he had caused Brown. “It will be Interesting, clinically, to observe the effects of strain on such different personalities.” His cold gray eyes went over all of us as if be were hunting for symptoms. No one commented on this unpopular suggestion. The doctor continued suavely, "Now we know just where everyone was except the. Captain." | ■ But Jonas was too wise a rat to be caught with such a small piece of cheese. “I take your meaning, Doctor, and I'll answer you, although I don’t know as I should. I was on the bridge where I belonged, like I told you in the first place. And plenty saw me there. “It don't take a very smart man to figure out that there is something wrong in all these stories. Nobody was around, and everybody was alone. It don’t make sense. I didn’t kill the old man, and I know it. But somebody did, and I know that too. You’re all hiding something you don’t want let out, but before this cruise is over you folks will talk. You’D talk and be glad to. Hez and me’D see to that.’’ •’Are you threatening us?’’ Robert asked quietly. V “I’m telling you. Misted I’m just telling you, that’s aIL” His deepset eyes went around the room as if daring someone to oppose him, but no one did. When he was satisfied that he had the upper hand, he added in a curt way, “Breakfast’s ready now, down in the dining salon.’* Being ordered around was a new experience for Lisa, and she did not take to it very welL “1 shall just go and* wash up first,** she said quietly. “Them as cats, eats right now," the Captain told her. “Fancy notions is out from here on in.” She answered him with the most crushing politeness. “I still say that I shall wash up first." And on the heels of this small defiance, she left the room. Coffee and eggs put some heart

Opposes Meeting Os U. N, Assembly India Suggestion Opposed By U. S. UNITED NATIONS’ N.Y. UP-4 India’s formal suggestion to reconvene the United Nations general assembly "very soon” to consider the Korean crisis appeared doomed today in the face of opposition by the United States. Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge Jr., chief of the American delegation to\ the U.N.,1 announced his opposition shortly after Indian prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru: made the suggestion to General* assembly president Lester B. Peaison and secretary-general Dag Ham-' marskjold. “Frankly,” Lodge said, "I can

in us again, as they always wilt, but conversation was guarded to say the least. Everybody acted as though the person next to him might be a poisoner, and it would be no understatement to say that the atmosphere was actually poisoned with distrust Solitude, which we had feared, suddenly began to seem better than company. We wolfed down what food we could manage, and gladly escaped from each other to the privacy of our cabins. Frederick Brown demanded a' pot of coffee and said that he would take it to Lisa Tremaine. The dining salon was forward on B deck. Aft of it came the galleys, and then quarters for the second officer, the engineer, and the steward and stewardess. The guest cabins were all on A deck, four to a side. To port. Brown, Randolph, Carlotta and Larry Redding; to starboard. Gay, Lisa and ourselves. Aft of the cabins, a small reading room gave on the well deck, and across from it, under the poop, lived the “black gang,” the oilers and wipers for the engine room. Forward, under the forecastle, lived the sailors. All this was connected with the promenade or veranda deck above, and the salon and Opdyke’s cabin, by four stairways, one inside and one outside at each end of the ship. I mention them to show how easily anyone who did not want to be seen could go up and down or back and forth. Above us all, the incalculable Captain presided from his bridge. While I dressed in my cabin Robert joined me. 1 had done as he asked about making notes during the endless night. He read them over and over. “Do they mean anything to you?" 1 asked. “Not yet. But you have a good memory for scenes and conversations. Keep putting them down so that we can reflect on them. It is like the child’s puzzles we used to have, where you look at the picture A long time in search of the missing face, and at last It fairly jumps out at you from among the trees.” We all sat looking out of the porthole. The gray dawn had been followed by a peremptory sun, and the blue water looked tensile as silk except where the flying fish jumped through the surface. The yacht wallowed on, her engines barely turning. She was going nowhere, and getting there very slowly. The absence of seaway made the heat oppressive. Robert and I exchanged our opinions of the situation, and I was surprised at the depth of his pessimism. I usually go along cheerfully unless someone is actually hitting me over the head, but Robert has Moods. I thought he might be in one now, but he assured me that be was merely taking a realistic view. ?

He thought Lisa Tremaine was too brave for her own good,' and when 1 said that I admiretfbyr, he had the effrontery to suggest that I suffered from the sam^- defect. 1 said that Mr. reminded me of some big clumsy animal, essentially peaceful, like a hippopotamus for instance, flourfdering in a net that it felt growing tighter. He answered that there Were things he would rather be shut up with than a hippopotamus in a net. I told him I could not make the doctor out, and he said he would bear watching. Oddly enough neither of us mentioned Larry. The fact was, when you added up the evidence, that anybody could have stood in the dark passageway between the salon find the owner’s cabin, fired the shot, and slipped away to come back later looking innocent. It waa not a comforting thought. ' ■; “1 think the Captain did it from the bridge," j I said. • | ' - “Why not Todd from the porthole of the cabin?” * "No motive." “How do you know?" asked Robert drily, “Do you know what I think??* I inquired. “These people pretend* ed not to know each other when they were introduced, but I think they really do know each other—and altogether too well." Robert rolled his eyes heavenward and clapped his hand to hie forehead. “A Daniel come to judgment!” I < > “It might pc nice," I suggested, “to find the murderer and get the money." • Robert was shocked. **l wouldn't touch the tainted stuff.” “No, but we could keep it for Bobs to fix up Chillstone.” • “Now the woman is burying me!" [ J “There is nothing wrong with thinking about our son." “I do think of him. I think about him all the time. And I hope to God we win get back ta him, and soon. That is why I ana going to do everything in my power to get this matter cleared up. My dearest girl, I don’t think you realized as yet what a nasty business you may find yourself involved in. But I do beg you, J really beg you, not to mention to "anyone but me the man whom you saw throw something overboard before the lights went on." ; I I was nodding solemnly when the most unholy row broke out above our heads. Scuffling feet; Shouttag. and Todd's high voles shrilling from the stairs. i “Help! Murder! Help! They are trying to kUI each other!" .'li “A fight!” Robert exclaimed, his eyea lighting up at the proapectr aq they always do, and with that he let go of me and flashed out of the room. I followed him? There was quite a tableau on the veranda deck. J (To Be Continued) j'
