Highly secret papers have disappeared from the files in the atomic plant in Hanford, Wash. Offieera aren't sure if a Tillie th? Toiler clerk filed the papers in the wrong drawer, or if someone walked away with the valuable documents. A senate investigation may be necessary to determine if the papers disappeared because of carelessness or theft. 0 o Tornadoes made an angry sweep through Georgia, causing more damage than Sherman's march to the sea.

Congress did not declare war when the shooting started over there, but more than 40,000 men were killed in action. The question got to the high court on double indemnity insurance policies paid in a couple of states on the lives of the men who were killed in Korea. Without a declaration of war, the legal status of the Korean shooting remains a conflict. The visit of President and Mrs. Eisenhower to their farm near Gettysburg, Pa., causes speculation on what Mr. Eisenhower has in mind about running for reelectionin 1956. The ,100-year old -farm home is being extensively renovated and rebuilt and Mr. Eisenhower has said that he plans to retire there after he leaves the White House. The comment follows that the house will be entirely rebuilt and ready to live in long before the next presidential election. Will it be the home of Mr. Eisenhower after 1956? 0 0- — With all due respect to the three other teams, Milan, a town of 1 $94 people in Ripley cburily, seems to be the “people’s choice'’ to win the Indiana basketball crown next Saturday.

Severe Burns Should Be Given Prompt Care by a Physician

By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. NO home remedy can equal the ' help that expert first aid gives 1 burns require the careful atten- ' ticn of a physician. However, 1 many times a person may be called on to give first aid to the : burn victim and there are cer- 1 tain vital points In regard to this I treatment. Any severe burn case should be i hospitalized and under the cate i of a licensed physician as soon 1 ax pdteible. However, if this is 1 not possible, all clothing and con- 1 strictlve Jewelry should be re- 1 moved unless it is stuck to the ' burned surface. The burned skin 1 should be coveted With a clean 1 sheet and should then not be i disturbed. « It has been found that the ap- ! plication of oils, ointments or < even butter will not relieve pain ; or aid in wound healing. These 1 things may even be harmful, < since such materials must be removed at the time when the physician dresses the wound. j Minor Barns Painful 1 Minor burns are very painful 1 while second and third degree burns give little pain. A physician 1 Is the best Judge of how much of i a pain relieving drag is necessary ] in the case of severe burns. He < will best be able to control the i restlessness that accompanies 6e- < vere burns with proper medlca- i tlon. He also will administer i penicillin or other antibiotic to 1 control infection and antitetanus 1

testing Milan's ambitions in the second game of the semi-finals. You can have your choice, but all Hoosletdom will send up a cheer if little Milan cops the crown. o o Tax payments have now been made and the Treasury may have sufficient funds to tide over for a few months. Several months ago there was talk in Washington about increasing the national debt, but somewhere along the line the estimates went haywire. The economy drive should prevent the bonded debt from exceeding the limit and expenditures should be made with this thought in mnid. The claim is made that the 1955 budget, which will cover government expenses beginning in July will be lower, and for that reason it may not be hecessary to raise the debt ceiling. o o The long-delayed mutual defense pact between the United States and Japan has been signed, Under terms of the pact Japan will receive over 8100,000,000 in American military and economic assistance. In return the pact pledges Japan to make an honest to build its own defense forces To" the it can defend sor. The pact aTstrcommits Japan to participation in the international effort to resist the spread of Communism. The occupation of Japan by American forces did a great deal to bring the people there a greater degree of personal freedohi than they had ever known. 0 0 Vice-Fiesident .Nixon didn’t de- , nounce Sen. McCarthy, but snubbed the gentleman'from Wisconsin, which probably will not be inducive to harmony among the administration and McCarthy forces. Mr. Nixon at least drew a line between types of investigations and implied that McCarthy’s tactics were unfair. The vice-pres-ident also emphasized that Mr. Eisenhower was not only the president, but the leader of the GOP, and that policy was set by the man in White House. His talk instead of being a rebuke to Adlai Stevenson, more or less followed the Democratic presidential nominee’s line of argument. The energetic vice-president indicated that the administration could run the government better, if Mr. McCarthy didn't nose in so often.

serum If he thinks they are required, as they often are in severe burns. He may also recombat shock, which Is an accompaniment of severe burns. Despite the patient’s request for water, fluids should be given with extreme caution In first aid treatment. Excessive amounts of fluids in the burned individual may lead to persistent nausea and vomiting. Also, there Is A danger of increasing the amount of fluid In the system, which in turn may cause a condition known as water intoxication. If the patient must have fluids before a physician arrives, a solution of dne level tablespoon of salt and one teaspoon Os baking soda to a quart of cold water should be made. The amount consumed of even this fluid should be very small until the person can be placed under the expert guidance of a physician. QUESTION AND ANSWER Mr. W E.: Can the hormones ACTH and cortisone be harmful if used for a prolonged period of time? Answer: These drugs should be taken only under the direction of a physician for, ts taken for a prolonged period of time, the use of these hormones can produce severe symptoms. A person cart develop a swelling of the body, a mild form of diabetes, excessive growth of hair or loss of hair due to the indiscriminate use of these hormones.

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN IN THE big living room, EVerttf Carr took the nand Shelly extended, and patted it in a fatherly way. Then he led her to a chair, and seated her, taking his own seat on the couch, close by. “You don’t come to see us as often as we d like. Shelly,’* he said warmly. She looked up, smiling faintly. “Oh, Father Carr . . “1 thought surely you’d come to see me today, or call me.’’ Now the violet eyes darkened with a question. “About Talboy,” he said quickly. ’’Oh,” she said. “Oh, yes. They don’t seem to know how badly he’s hurt. There's some concussion—he’a unconscious,’’ “Yes, yes, 1 know all that! He’s hot on the criticai list, however.” “Oh,- no!” said Shelly quickly. “But it must be bad enough, if ■* he’s unconscious.'’ - “Bad part is the way it happened. That it happened at all,” said Everett heavily. “1 know what is being said, but gossip—sometimes— ’’ “One ot the doctors at the hospital told me about it,” said Everett crisply, and she knew that she had affronted him. “You mean, they made tests that showed he had been drinking?” “1 don’t .know what they did, Shelly, l just—” "1 wouldn't have said he was a drinking man, Father Carr." “Roman's no judge of such things. Man was as queer as Aunt Hester’s hat. Would get up an argument on any subject. Always took the wrdhg side, too.” Wrong, or unpopular? thought Shelly. She had sense enough not - to any IL . “1 rather like him,” she murmured. “A lot of the ladies do!" Shelly’s head lifted. "Even heard Eleanor declare he was exciting. Bah! Os course, 1 know you don’t mean it that way—you’re Stevie’s wife. And Eleanor—oh, I don’t know why a silk and velvet girl will so often take a yen toward a tough man!" Eleanor! Shelly’s heart was beating taster than she would care to admit as she put some concentrated thought to that suggestion. So concentrated that it required an effort to bring her attention back to Everett’s talk. He had evidently said again that he had expected her to call him—he was going on to assure her that he stood ready to do anything— anything! —for her in Stevie’s absence: “1 think," said Everett Carr impressively, “that now the only thing for you to do, Shelly, will be to close Stevie’s office until he gets back.’* "But, Father Carr . . “We can get a doctor for the . plant. There are then who do Industrial doctoring on a fixed salary; We get Inquiries all the time. And the other doctors here in town can take care of his other patients.” Suddenly, Shelly was angry. *T suppose Dr. Lewis would be one of them!” she said coldly. “Not necessarily. He’s got him-

sqjt into a mess, too. But there Sire 'plenty of other doctors —you'll see. When you close the office, the patients will go elsewhere. They’ll nave to.” Spoken like a healthy man! said Shelly's seething brain. Everett Carr stayed for another fifteen minutes. Shelly smiled woodenly, hearing nothing that he said. At last he rose. “Well —must get home, Shelly. Now you go to bed and get your sleep. My little suggestion will care for any worry you've had, 1 think.” He departed, and Shelly went upstairs. Oh, yes, his little suggestion. ... She was to close the office. She was to write that to Stephen. She was to tell Miss Browne, and Dr. Talboy, and the patients . . . And she was to live the rest of the. year with her hands empty, and her thoughts free to go over and over what she had done, and what she might have done instead. Today she had considered a possible need to close the office, and had discarded it quickly for a halfdozen other plans. The Carrs —Everett—had only one -plan. It was as if they had found her sunk in quicksand, and had put one thin stick within ner reach —and then had walked away. The fam i 1 y wanted the office closed, wanted the practice dissipated. They had never wanted Stephen to be a doctor in the first place and now they might have found away to — - She sat down before the mirror, sick with the realisation of human selfishness, of 1o v e’s possessive power and cruelty. Everett had not come to help tier; he’d thought she would blindly obey him, and thus he would gain what he had always been determined to gain— Stephen, the son he loved, the son ot whom ne was proud, would come back from Korea, go into the business and carry on the dynasty. But Stephen had planned against just that event He had put Talboy into his office, selecting him as a man who would fight, and he expected to come home a doctor, to remain a doctor. Perhaps Shelly would have said she did not sleep that night, but there was Mrs. Jarvis to prove otherwise. The phone wakened her. Mrs. Jarvis had been trying to get the doctor, she said. Nd one answered, so—“l'm afraid Dr. Talboy can’t cotne, Mrs. JaTviii,” Baid Shelly wearily. “You see, he—” “But he must come!” Cried'Mrs. Jarvis. “And don't pass off the excuse that he’s tired. I know doctors get tired, but I'm sick. 1 often have to call a doctor at night. I take turns: 1 call one doctor till I'Ve worn him obt, then 1 turn to another one. Df. Talboy will Come, 1 think. If you’ll just get in touch with him.” “Mrs. Jarvis! Dr. Talboy is in the hospital with his own headache. He was in a car wreck last night, and has a concussion as well as some cracked ribs.” “Oh, well, that’s too bad,” mourned Mrs. Jarvis, '“because 1 do need

him. What do you suggest I do, Shelly?” "I'd suggest,” said Shelly crisply, “that after this, when you are sick all day, you call a doctor then, or go to. see him. Not wait until the middle -of the night. If you have the slightest idea of the sort of life a doctor leads . . . "My goodness,” said Mrs. Jarvis, "I never got this kind of lecture from Stevie. He’d sometimes say he wouldn’t come, but he always did it in a nice way.” Shelly was close to tears when she replaced Che receiver. People expected so much from doctors, and treated them with so little consideration. in the darkness of the night’s last hours, her heart ached for Stephen, alone out there in Korea, and for Craig, fighting for his principles, and now the victim ot malicious gossip. She could r nbt fail either man. She must not! The next morning, at ten, Everett Carr’s secretary said that Mrs. Stephen Carr would like to see him—on business. Midstream, Everett stopped his expansive, “Yes, yes, yes. Any time—On business f" he asked in astonishment, “That’s what she said, Mr. Carr.” “All right. Send her in. We’ll see what she considers business.” The beaming smile was reinstated. Probably money, he thought. Now, with the closing of Stevie's office, there’d naturally be money worries—he leaned back in his chair, smiling. Shelly certainly knew how to dress, thought Everett, watching the girl come through the door and across the carpet—slim black suit, with a yellow hanky, or something, perking out from a pocket below the belt, a little hat tilted forward on her head, spotless gloves. “Shelly, my dear/’ he said expansively as he rose. “What can I do for you T And may I say in advance that the sky’s the limit?” She smiled warmly at him. “Ybu don’t need to say it. I came because I knew how big-hearted you are.” Buttering me up, he thought, as he gallantly seated her, then resumed his chair. “How big a bite?” he asked, beaming. Shelly s blue eyes regarded him. "Oh," she breathed, "I don’t want money.” ; —- — "That’s what most of the Carr women want,” he assured her. “I've a lot to learn!" she said flirtatiously. This morning she was determined not to offend Everett. He was the one member of Stephen’s family who might be occasionally on her side. She’d done a lot of thinking during the night; she’d planned her campaign. Now she leaned forward, one gloved hand on the desk top. “Father Carr,” she said earnestly, “I came to you with just one request, and 1 hope you’ll find yourself able to grant it" Now Everett Carr too was sitting in this office "on a matter of business.” “What request is that, Shelly?" “That you do not discharge pr. Talboy as plant doctor.” pTo Be Continued J

Hit Al Cutback In Public Works Plans Two Democratic Solons Complain WASHINGTON, (UP) —Two Democratic congressmen complained today that the administration is cutting back public works programs when they should be stepped Up. They made the complain as the house prepared to vote on a $430,983.700 army civil works bill. The amount was recommended by the house appropriations committee for flood control and navigation projects being constructed by the army engineers, and for other army “civil functions.” it is $34,176,300 less than recommended in President Eisenhower's budget and $10,609,900 less than allowed for the some purpose in the present fiscal year. Rep. Frank E. Smith, D-Mlss., said appropriations for the army engineers’ work ran around 600 million dollars a few years ago. But with unemployment rising, he said, the “present administration instead of Increasing activity in this field is decreasing it.” “I submit,” he said, “that if we continue to cut back on this we’re going to feel it immediately in the general economy and in the long run in the effect on our natural resources.” Rep. Cleveland M. Bailey, I> W. Va., said that a month ago “we had some talk from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue about the Ides of March—that if employment had not improved there would be consideration for a program of public works.” He said if the administration wants to start a public works program “there's a project in my district — Sutton reservoir — that could go to contract in 30 days.” Court News Marriage License Betty E.
