LINDBERGH TO AID UNCLE SAM MAKE AIR,SAFE Atlantic Flight Ace Is Made Technical Adviser to Government. BY ARTHUR F. DEGREVE United Press Staff Correspondent WAfc-HNGTON, Feb. 22.—Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh, who flew safely from New York to Paris and has made many other hazardous flights, has joined hands with the government to make the air safe for aviators and the ground safe for pedestrians. After William F. Whiting, secretary of commerce, had announced Lindbergh had been named technical advisor to the aeronautic branch of the commerce department, it was learned the flying colonel would pay particular attention to regulating planes and pilots. Stunting, and flying low over cities already is forbidden by the department in the interest of safety. It was believed Lindbergh would offer from time to time suggestions on more stringent regulations, accumulated from his various flights. Post Is Advisory One The department explained Lindbergh’s connection with the government would not interfere with his other duties. He will be called in for advice on air problems whenever needed and will receive the same compensation as other technical advisers estimated at approximately $25 a day. Serving in an advisory post will be nothing new to Lindbergh. He holds similar assignments with the Daniel Guggenheim Fund for Promotion of Aeronautics, the Pan American Airways and with the Trans-Concinental Aair Transport He now is making a survey flight for the latter concern. In addition to regulations, the government will seek his advice on airways extension dealing with equipment, construction; airway mapping; accident prevention and aeronautical research. Youngest of Officials Commerce department officials said today they always have felt Lindbergh vas one of their official lamilv, pointing out that on each visit to Washington he has consulted with aviation officials and made many suggestions gleaned from his flights. A glance at the prominent figures in aviation here revealed Lindbergh would be the youngest official in a line primarily in the hands of young men. William P. Mac Cracken, assistant secretary of commerce in charge of aeronautics, is 39 years old. Major Clarence M. Young, director of the bureau of aeronautics is 40; F. Trubec Davison, assistant secretary of war, in charge of aeronautics, is 33, and Edward F. Warner, assistant secretary of navy, in charge of aeronautics, is in his early thirties. Lieutenant A1 Williams, crack navy pilot is in his twenties while Lieutenant Elwood Quesada, night pilot of the record-breaking Question Mark, is only 25 years old.

DEATH MAY ENSUE FROM INJURED FINGER Doctor Warns Against Popular Remedies for Injuries. JSlt Science Service LIVERPOOL. Feb. 22.—The popular method of treating a pricked finger by squeezing it and soaking it in very hot water often has disastrous effects. Dr. R. Kennon declared in a recent address before the Liverpool Medical Institution. The unfortunate results of such treatment have often been gangrene * and amputation. Hangnails, thorns, pricks and insect bites arc frequently the starting points leading to loss of fingers or even hands and arms. “The moffe educated lay people arc all too ready to imagine that the thorn or needle has carried germs into the depths,” stated Dr. Kennon, “so vigorous squeeze initiates the treatment, to make the part bleed and wash back J he organisms. A moment’s thought would show that it would be just as sensible to try to squeeze water out of wet socks without first removing the boots.” This treatment actually spreads the organisms beneath the.skin and further injuries the tissues, thus providing a starting point where bacteria may multiply.

PIANO CALLS POLICE Starts Playing When Thicn ;s Smash Coin Container; Arrested. BROOKLYN, Feb. 22.—Two boys attempted to rob an automatic piano—the nickel-in-the-slot kindin the ice cream parlor of Joseph Horne. On breaking open the coin container, the machine started to play. Two policemen, walking outside, thought it strange that jazz music should be .coming out of the store at 3 o’clock in the morning. They captured the boys. 3 GENERATIONS WORK Grandfather Father and Son in Same Factory. LONDON, Feb. 22.—The Warring furniture factory at Lancaster has had three generations of the Rogers family in its employ. Thomas Rogers. who recently died at his job of wood turning, worked for the same concern for seventy-six years. His son has been working for the furniture outnt forty-nine years and a grandson twenty years. Oxygeu Wins Against Death It,i I rtifcrf #rt BLOOMINGTON. Ind.. Feb. 22.

Has 7 Fangs Bit United Frees MONT ALTO, Pa., Feb. 22. —Loss by injury of its fans does not render a rattlesnake harmless, because it can quickly grow anew set, according to T. C. Evans and H. A. Fromen, students at the Pennsylvania State Forest School, who have devoted considerable time to studies of the private life of this fearsome reptile. A compilation of their findings prepared by Dr. E. A. Zeigler, director of the school, discloses that each rattlesnake is equipped with six or seven sets of immature fangs, capable of developing quickly to replace mature fangs that are injured or lost. The only way to deprive the snake of its deadly quality is to remove the poison sac.

CHAMBER PICKS AVIATION GROUP Fire Prevention Committee Also Chosen. Memberships of the new Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce aviation and fire prevention committees was announced today by President Paul Q. Richey. The aviation committee is composed of Postmaster Robert H. Bryson, chairman; H. Weir Cook, general manager of Curtiss Flying Service of Indiana; N. H. Gilman, Allison Engineering company; Frank Sparks, Noblett-Sparks company, and Woods Caper ton, Eli Lilly & Cos. John C. Marshall, local manager of Standard Oil Company of Indiana, was named chairman of the fire prevention committee, with Albert L. Zoller, of Charles Mayer & Cos., as vice-chairman. Marshall succeeds Frank C. Jordan, Indianapolis Water Company, chairman since the committee was organized seven years ago. Jordan’s duties since his recent election as president of the National Fire Protective Association prevented him from accepting the local chairmanship again. Committee members are: Jordan, W. J. Curren, Thomas R. Dungan, J. J. Fitzgerald, Fred C. Gardner, Carl C. Gibbs, Charles L. Hartman, John R. Kinghan, Perry W. Lesh, Richard Leiber, M. D. Lupton, Fire Chief Harry E. Voshell, Police Chief Claude M. Worley, and Louis H. Wolff.

HITS DRUNKEN DRIVER Bad as Crazy Man With Machine Gun, Governor Leslie Holds. Bu Times Special NEWCASTLE, Ind., Feb. 22.—A man who drives an automobile while he is drunk is “as dangerous as a crazy man with a machine gun,” said Governor Harry G. Leslie. The Governor expressed that viewin a letter to Paul R. Benson, Henry county prosecutor, in refusing leniency to Dewey Whitehead, who has been serving a sentence for drunken driving. “This department is not inclined to ook with favor upon leniency to be shown to men guilty of this offense,” the Governor wrote. BANDIT STOPS TO EAT Loots House; Prepares Ham and Eggs Order; Leaves Dishes. AKRON, 0., Feb. 22.—Not content with a $45 watch and $5 in cash, a burglar who broke into the home of R. H. Leigh here put up an order of ham and eggs, bread and coffee. He ate the meal and without waking any one in the house walked out, leaving the dirty dishes on the table.

“My Tongue Was White and Furry” •‘Some time ago I began waking up with a terrible taste in my mouth every morning, and my tongue seemed to be coated with a white fur. At first I wasn't alarmed, but when I began to tire early in the day and suffer dull headaches. I realized my system was storing up poisons. I began taking Dioxol tablets for the ox gall they contain, as my doctor said there was nothing better for the liver and bowels. I was amazed at the amount of old waste matter expelled from my body, and in a very short time began to feel like anew man." Let your liver become sluggish and it fails to cleanse the blood of the poisons formed in the food waste. These poisons then are spread throughout the isystem, causing auto-intoxication, chronic constipation. sick headaches, and diseases of the stomach, blood and kidneys. The best thing for stimulating the liver, as doctors now agree, is. pure, natural ox gall. Dioxol. containing pure ox gall, tones up the liver in a natural way and makes it function vigorously. When your whole intestinal tract is kept clean, your bowels move regularly, and you enjoy genuine health. Dioxol tablets are pure, natural ox gall in dainty, tasteless form, and cost less than 2c each at druggists. Try them and see what a difference it makes when your liver is functioning right. All good druggists sell Dioxol tablets.—Advertisement.
