The farmer fortune seekers believe there is buried gold on their land and have started digging tor the treasure supposed to have been butted by French soldiers some 150 years ago. A good plowing of the farm fields might be a quicker and safer way ot getting money out of the soil. 0 o The Red Cross drive is faltering and the Rev. Lawrence NorL ria, fund chairman, urges a response that will change the picture and boost the fund. Less than half of the (10,199 goal has been raised and that isn’t a very good showing for Adame County. Solicitors are asked to complete the canvass of their districts and make their report this week, although the campaign win extend into March. —0- 0 With its high price, coffee is valuable enough to steal. Burglars entered a wholesale grocery concern in Fort Wayne and made off with 351 cases of the precious stuff, valued at more than (9,000. Professional thieves must have executed the robbery, for " they were equipped to cut their Way through steel doors and then load their truck with coffee. Their next job will be to resack or change the labels on the packLos Angeles and San Francisco have been suggested, with accaKional mention of Houston, for membership in big league’ baseball. Now appears a new possibility. A committee in Minneapolis and St. Paul, using a market survey, estimates that the average attendance in the Twin Cities, if they were granted a franchise, would be 754,000. Attendance of at least a million is necessary for a safe margin of profit. Perhaps the Minnesotans recall the experience of Milwaukee, where a mediocre Boston team played winning ball and drew great crowds. If the baseball magnates could be sure that the like would happen in Minneapolis and St. Paul, they would hasten to put a team there.

X-Rays Aid in Operations

By HHMUM N. NNDESEN, *LD. . X-RAYS can act as the sur-J geon’s eyes in certain operations. For example, in the surgery necessary for repairing a broken hip, X-ray is almost a necessity ta order to fix properly the separated portion of the hip with nails. Use of X-ray However, surgeons have been reluctant to we X-ray in operating reforms even when it might provide valuable guidance. First of all, it takes time to take and develop X-rays. This can be very frustrating since it — is essential to cut down the amount of time a person is under anesthesia, in most instances. A Serious Hazard Then, too, the we of high voltage equipment may increase the possibility of an anesthetic explosion, always a severe danger in the operating room. Today, modem scientists have developed a process that will turn out a useful X-ray picture in “one

There are all kind of drives for money these days and Bluffton seems to have hit os a new wrinkle in fund raising. To equip a new high school gym and auditorium. the town is putting on a One Million Penny campaign. Pennies are donated by school children and other individuals. According to the mathematician in this offioe if the city's goal is reached, Bluffton should have 310,000 tor school equipment. About one-quarter of the amount has been raised. > —o—o Former Vice-president Alben W. Barkley's decision to become a candidate for the Democratic nomination for U. S. senator from Kentucky did not surprise many people. Like an old fire-berse, Mr. Barkley could not resist the call of running again. The veteran politician and statesman has devoted his life to public service and is one of the most popular men on the American acene. He left the senate to become the vicepresidential candidate and was elected with President Truman. He intends to put on a typical Barkley campaign in the Blue Grass state and the tali election will be enlivened with his oratory and inimitable stary telling, if the former Veep cannot be ejected in Kentucky, no Democrat would have a chance anyway in November. ’ 0 « Too Much Delay:— A Congressman has asked Congress to get to work and make up its mind about what excise tax cuts it was going to pass. He said that the extended debate over tax cuts has led to a slowdown in the business of stores which sell items likely to be affected by the cuts. No one grants to make a purchase at present tax rates when there is a possibility that in a short time the rates will be cut. There is a controversy about whether the recent rise in unemployment is the result of a recession or is merely an adjustment in our economy. In either case a slowdown in consumer purchasing could have a bad effect. If the stores do not sell merchandise the producers cannot, move their products and layoff of employees follows. This results in a decrease in purchasing power and a further decline in business. Congress would do well to speed its action on the tax cuts so that business and consumers can know where tihey stand. No one wants to see tax cuts passed without full consideration and debate. But postponing a decision can have serious results to the balance in our economy which now needs a boost.

The image is sufficiently sharp to make It useful in certain cases for surgery. The X-ray apparatus that does this wort: is almost completely safe in regard to operating room explosions.

CHAPTER THIRTY 1 SHELLY thought about Craig’s predicament with some of the workers who refused to be protected against the industrial Hazards of the Refractories. She decided that the only thing to do was to present the situation clearly to the men’s families. J There, she thought, was an idea! Had anyone ever talked to the men's wives about the safety program at the plant ? She considered a mass meeting for that purpose, then discarded the idea. She con.sidered asking Craig to go indii viduaily to the wives—but first she’d talk to some of them. Adel termined wife, she argued, could do more than any plant executive —but the wife first had to know about the situation. Shelly would see that a few of them did know. She remembered a name or two which Craig had mentioned; she got some material from the office both on the program and on the men’s records—and she bravely started out. This was to be a woman-to-wo-man thing. She paid her first two calls on the way to the office. For her work in the summer, she wore simple tailored cottons; she was dressed tn this unpretentious fashion when she approached one cottagr. then another — The wives were at home. At eight-thirty in the morning, the first one was hanging diapers on the clothesline, and she accepted Shelly's suggestion that she not stop her work. —L—"I guess I’ll have to keep on," she agreed, “with three kids and a new baby—” Shelly asked about the baby. Had Ur. Talboy delivered it? (She knew ife had.) And the woman knew that she knew. Shelly flushed. "1 wasn't sure that you’d remember me from the office," she said Contritely. "A woman behind a desk can seem like part at the fumKure.” “That may be, but we all know you’re Dr. Carr’s wife." “Os course," agreed Shelly, “that's why 1 help out at the office. The girt nay hueband had quit.” “So I beard," said the woman •dryly, bending over her clothesbasket. Shelly made a clumsy attempt to talk on the subject site hoped to have in band. But before she nad said much ot anything, and the wife nad commented only that sne left all that sort oi stuff to the Mister, the baby began to cry, and Shelly knew that her departure

would be eagerly welcomed. ■ But she’d not let herself be too easily discouraged. The next morning she paid a second call. This woman was still in her housecoat, and she invited Shelly to net breakfast nook where she was having a cup of Coffee with a neighbor. Both women were wives of plant workers: Shelly stated her purpose at once. As the plant doctor's secretary, she was endeavoring to find out hAw much the wives knew about the safety program at the plant. “Now don’t tell me,”' she said gaily, “that it’s none of your business. Because I'm sure you’d be directly concerned if your husband became ill or was hurt." “Well, sure . . said the visiting neighbor. And both women Waited for Shelly to talk some more. She did. That morning, she made a complete thing of stating the hazards of working with clay, the measures taken by the company to prevent accidents of all sorts, including the results of silica inhalation. “Don\ the men do what they’re told?” asked her hostess blandly. “Not all of them, I'm afraid.” “Can’t the plant bosses make ’em do it ?” "Not as well as you could, if you want to," said Shelly. “You need do no more than insist on your husband showering and changing his clothes before he comes home from the plant.” They looked at her iy"The.men themselves demand that proper change rooms are provided,’’ Shelly explained, “showers, lockers, and so forth—and then a lot of them won’t use them.” “But this way it saves on clothes,” said one of the women. "How?” “You got work clothes, you got good clothes. If you change at the plant, you’d have to have something in between, and you have to tote your coveralls home tor washin’.” Shelly frowned. “But if his health was better protected by using the change room with its Ultra-violet tights, and its dust impregnation . . .” "Look, Mrs. Carr,” said , the home-owner, folding her arms on the table edge and leaning toward the earnest young woman in blue chambray. “Who told you to come here and tell us how to run our husbands?” Shelly drew back, her smile fading. "No ,one - told me,” she sa.d gently. T— Dr. Talboy is having aome trouble getting some of the

men to use his safety devices. I thought, as one woman to another—” Her hostess stood up, and so did Shelly. The other woman watched. “Let me tell, you something tor your own good, Mrs. Carr. I’m older’n you, and I don't listen to talk —but 1 will say this to you. You just try to be as good a wife to your husband as I am to mine, and we'll all be better off." Shelly left, but she thought that over, and hesitated about making any more calls. She didn’t know what the woman was hinting, and she thought perhaps she did not want to know. The next day, however. when she went to see Dorace ©vans, she learned. “My nusband don’t care much for Dr. Talboy,” Dorace said flatly. “Didn’t he like Stephen either?” ‘‘‘Well, to be frank—if you work for the refractories, you’d better like the Carrs —or else.” “Oh. I don’t believe that’s fair.” “Mrs. Carr, do you know much about working for the Carrs?” It was rude, but it was a valid question. “No,” Shelly said, “I don’t. In fact, I don't know too much about working—for anyone. 1 had one job for a very short time before my marriage—and since—well, the little 1 do in the office.” —The woman's eyes narrowed. "Funny, you never worked there when your husbgnd was home," she said. “I didn’t need to*. Stephen had a well-trained secretary. But she left without warning, and 1 fiHed in. And now—Oh, it’s away to pass — 1 mean, to fill my time.” "Mhmmmn,” said Dorace Evans. The tall woman in red-checkeS gingham studied her visitor with avid interest. “Y ou’re pretty young, aren't you?” "I'm twenty-five, almost.” "Too bad your husband had to go off to war so soon after you were married.” "Yes. But it was his own decision, and 1 agreed in it.” “I’ll bet you're lonely.” f Shelly laughed. “Ot course I am. That’s why the work helps.” “Yes, but maybe some other work —” Dorace stoppeq abruptly. “Mrs. Evans,” said Shelly with determination, “1 came here for a ■purpose which I've stated. You've evaded an answer by saying that you don't like Dr. Talboy.” T said Bob didn’t like him. But 1 don't care too much for him, myself. A lot of us feel the same way.” (To Be Continued) '
