Vagabond FROM INDIANA

ERNIE PYLE

TOLEDO, May 13.—The day I spent on the Toledo waterfront you couldn’t tell whether you were on it or in it. You never

saw such a rain. You didn’t need to be care-

ful about not falling overboard, because you could drown just as quickly on the bank as you could in the river. : But, I managed to survive, and through the sky darkly saw many strange things. And learned many

sstrange things. Such as .. Toledo isn’t on the lake at all. It’s on the Maumee River, about nine miles from where e river flows into Maumee ,Bay, which in . turn eventually gets to Laks Erie. Toledo is the biggest coal shipping port in America. Bet ycu ‘didn’t know that. They haul the coal up here by train from the West Virginia and Ohio coal fields, and dump it on - these lake freighters and carry it to Detroit E; and Duluth and all around. Mr. Pyle There are 900 freighters plying the Great Lakes, and last year 4500 ships put into Toledo. In other words, the same ships came in enough times to total 4500 calls. Each ship carries about 35 men. There are three big coal-loading docks here, all

. owned by railroads—the C. & O., the New York Cen-

tral, and the Pennsylvania. The C. & O. is-the biggest, and the grandest. In fact, they say it’s the finest in the world. (Except that there’s one just :like it at Newport News.) Last year 20 million tons of coal went through Toledo. And 13 million tons of it were loaded at the C, & O. docks. Here’s the way they do it: They run a whole trainload of coal onto the pier. Then a little donkey electric engine with a side-arm takes off one car at a time, and pushes it up to the foot of a great steel tower-framework. Then a huge steel arm under the track reaches up, and pushes the car 2 an incline into that maze of steel trestlework.

a certain place. ali. Then somebody pulls another lever, and believe it or not, this whole big car full of coal is just taken up and turned upside down, like a bucket, and the coal all falls out. : It falls into a big hopper, and runs down into a chute, and comes out the other end of the chute which is hanging over the center of a freighter lying there at the pier. In less than four hours you've got a 6000-ton ship loaded and ready to sail. By the old method it took three days. There are three of these loading towers at the C. & O. dock. The three of them, working day and night, could load about two dozen ships a day. It takes a trainload of about 100 cars just to fill one ship. Boy, when they load coal here they load it! After a while we went down into the hold of the ship that was being loaded. As one of the boys said, we stood 10 feet under water and let them dump 60 tons otf coal on our heads. Only there was a floor of steel between us and the coal. We were below the coal bunkers, or whatever you call them. What a silly life a reporter leads. ” ® "

Ship Was a ‘Self-Unloader’

HE ship we were on was a “self-unloader.” There . aren't very many of them on the Lakes yet, but there will be. Here is the idea: The holds of these ore boats are separated into 15 or 20 compartments. Under the old unloading method they just opened the hatch at the top and dug out the coal with clam-shell steam shovels, or electric shovels. . - But on the self-unloaders each compartment tapers down to a point at the bcttom, and under this point is # jrapdoor. They open the trapdoor and the coal ru out. If we stopped there, we’d just have a lot of cc .I running out into the bottom of the ship. So... We have a big endless conveyor kelt running the length of the boat, directly under the long line of trapdoors. The coal falls onto the belt and is rapidly moved to the end of the belt line, where it’s hoisted by automatic bucket-chain above decks, and there it falls onto another conveyor belt which carries it over the side and dumps it into cars on the dock. It used to take 14 hours to unload a_ship full of coal. Now they can do it in six.

Mrs.Roosevelt’'s Day

By ELEANOR ROOSEVELT

EW YORK CITY, Wednesday.—Well, I saw a

play last night, “The Women.” It is clever, amusing in spots, but underlying itis real tragedy. 1 do not know the writer, but I am very happy indeed that I do not very often have to associate with the women she gave us on the stage, nor, fory that matter, with the men presented, even though absent in the flesh. They must have been such dull, stupid, little men, to have cared at all at any time for such dull and cruel “cats.” I know there are people like that in the world. I have long thought it is what is inside of individuals which draws to them people of their kind. You cannot say certain things to certain people, you cannot tell certain types of stories before certain people, and if men or women have real interests in life, they cannot possibly degenertae, it seems to me, into the people we associated with on the stage last night. I have no patience with the mother and her advice, but I have no patience either with the one woman who was supposed to be “good” and was so stupid. It is not so much what people do in this world, as their reasons for doing it which really make a difference. Sacrifices are not so important as the reasons for which you sacrifice, and no sacrifice is any good which remains ever present as such. This morning I spent some time with Mr. and Mrs. Bruce Gould of-the Ladieg’ Home Journal, getting some suggestions to work over in “My Story.” It is interesting to me how many people react differently in reading the same thing. I think everyone looks for what they themselves would like to feel in any book. Some frivolous shopping, and now I must rapidly change my clothes and go up to the broadcasting sta‘tion where we have to work another hour to be sure we read just so many words a second. -

The SEVEN outs HOR

Here Are World's Greatest Killers, Causes of 7 Out of 12 Deaths in United States At Present Time.

First of a Series

SEVEN horsemen of death ride abroad in the land.

They are the world’s greatest killers.

No corner of

the earth is safe from them, not the rugged peak of the isolated mountain or the dense darkness of the thick forest. They roam the crowded streets of the cities and the

open roads of the country. They know the mansions of

the very rich and the tenements of the very poor. : These seven cause seven out of every 12 deaths in the United

States.

Between them they do more havoc than all the other causes

of death together. Faintly, above the drumming of the rain that fell slantwise upon the windowpane, came the wail of a siren. Instinctively, the white-uniformed nurse put down her magazine and glanced at the clock.

It was 2 a. m.

She straightened up the blotter on the desk at which she sat, settled the fountain pen more firmly. in its holder, and Waited. A second time the sound of the siren rose upon the air, this time more strident, more imperative, closer by. She rose, walked to the window and, shading her eyes against the light of the room, peered out into the

darkness. David Dietz

The rain had transformed the curving driveway into a shimmering mirror which reflected. the hospital lights in grotesque patterns.

Suddenly the darkness at the

far end of the drive was stabbed by two shafts of light as the police emergency swung around the corner.

EFORE the car had pulled up to the doorway, the nurs duty as the night admitting officer of the hospital—was back at her desk. A push of a button summoned the white-coated orderly, who hurried to the door as the vehicle came to a stop. “A bad smash-up,” called the bluecoat at the wheel to the orderly, as he jumped out of the driver's seat and ran back to help his fellow officer carry in the vic‘tim. “I'm afraid he’s bleeding to death.” “Emergency surgery,” the orderly snapped to the nurse who was nov" standing in the doorway of the admitting office. Then he hurried out to help carry in the stretcher, As quickly, the nurse was back at her desk, jiggling the hook of her telephone. : As the switchboard operator answered, she repeated the phrase, “Emergency surgery.” Then added, “Call the house surgeon. Get the nurses on duty in the surgery. Locate the night superintendent and tell him.” n ” ” HE operating rooms of most hospitals are located on the top floor. This makes for better lighting and in general is a satisfactory plan of hospital design. But

every hospital has an emergency

operating room close to the admitting room. Some cases are so urgent that seconds may mean the differ>nce between life and death. There is no time to take the patient up in an elevator. The policeman and the orderly were bringing the stretcher into the corridor as the nurse finished telephoning. The man upon it lay very still and his face looked very white. Blood was streaming from a gash in his neck and another in his head. By now the lights were on in the emergency surgery. Nurses were hurrying down the corridor. The house surgeon and one of the surgical internes were hurriedly scrubbing their hands and arms, getting ready to pull on their sterilized rubber gloves.

The stretcher was placed on the four-wheel cart that stood waiting in the corridor and the patient was wheeled into the operating room. . Outside in the admitting office, the nurse picked up her magazine and hunted for the place where she had been reading when the sound of the siren first caught her attention. Her part in that par-

" ticular drama of the night was

over. un ” ” > WO hours later the house surgeon and the interne, tired and dejected, came into the doctor’'s smoking room. The surgeon slumped down in an easy chair, feet stretched out, arms limply in his lap. The interne perched on the end of the table and lit a cigaret. “Well,” said the surgeon without raising his head, “that’s the fourth to go this week with fractured skull. There wasn’t a thing we could do for this last fellow. That one splinter of bone had penetrated his brain for a distance of two inches. There were bad body injuries as well, including a punctured lung.” The interne ground his cigaret savagely against the rim of the ash tray. “The human body wasn’t made to wrap around telegraph poles at 70 miles an hour,” he said. “But you can’t make them believe it.” They both turned as steps in the hall and the rattle of the doorknob announced a newcomer. The opening door disclosed one of the city’s leading physicians, a member of the hospital's visiting staff. He, too, looked tired. The young surgeon and the interne waited quietly while he sank wearily into a chair, ® won “ E lost Dale,” said the physician. “He went 30 minutes ago. I've had him under an oxygen tent for the last three days. But it didn’t do any good. His heart was through. Coronary occlusion.” “How old was he?”

asked the interne. :

The blue-coated officers carried in the victim while the nurse on duty in the admitting office of the hespital telephoned the house surgeon to prepare for an emergency operation.

“Fifty-five,” the physician replied, “and one of the richest men in this part of the country. The master of an industrial empire. Master of everything but his own body. The old pump just wouldn't stand the pace.” The house surgeon rose. “This isn’t going to cheer me up,” he said. “Besides I've got to get some sleep. I'm assisting the chief at 11. Cancer operation. Carcinoma of the stomach. I saw the patient yesterday and it looks pretty hopeless to me.” “That’s a pity,” said the physician. “How are things otherwise?” The interne answered his question. ; “We've had a tough run of bad accident cases,” he said. “And

But everybody in Congress is pretty mad about economy when it touches his home district or threatens some pet project of his own.

this bad weather has brought an increase in pneumonia.” The young surgeon had walked to the window and stood there a moment, gazing out into the darkness and talking more to himself than to his colleagues. “Heart . .;. cancer , . . accidents «+. pneumonia . , .” His voice trailed into silence as he stared at the sky.

. n ” EJ UDDENLY he imagined that he saw a great panorama in the sky. Out of the blackness rose the gigantic figure of a death’s head with burning coals glowing in its eyeless sockets, and out of the grinning jaws of the® death’s head rode seven horsemen upon swift horses, leering -evil-looking horsemen who mocked and jeered as they rode across the sky. “The seven horsemen of death,” he said, and suddenly raised his clenched fist and shook it at the sky. “But we’ll get you yet.” “Hey, what’s this,” said the old physician, sitting up in his chair. “What are you mumbling to yourself, young man? Not getting jittery are you? Run along to bed. You'll see many a night as tough as this if you stay in harness as long as I have.” The younger man laughed sheepishly. “I guess you're right,” he said. “Well, good night.” EJ » ”r HESE are the seven horsemen of death who ride abroad in the land: The first one is named Heart Disease. He seems to strike suddenly—a stabbing pain, a chok-

ing sensation, the premonition of -

death—it is the end. But often he

has been stalking his prey for a decade or more, The second one is named Cancer. So slowly, so quietly, so insidiously does he creep up upon his victim that often his presence is entirely unsuspected until it is too late. The third one is named Nephritis. He attacks the kidneys. The chemistry of life puts a heavy burden upon these organs, sometimes a heavier burden than they can bear. They are the vulnerable spot at which the third horseman of death shoots his lethal arrow, 1 The fourth one is named Cerebral Hemorrhage. He causes sudden death. The victim is going about his day’s business, talking, eating, working playing. Quickly itv is over as a tiny blood vessel bursts in the brain. But like the first horseman, he stalks his prey long in advance of the final thrust. The fifth horseman is named Accidents. His allies are men’s carelessness, haste, thoughtlessness, drunkenness and folly. + The sixth horseman is Pneumonia, a treacherous fellow who rides swiftly and often strikes without warning. His chief ally is the neglected common cold. The seventh horseman is named Tuberculosis. He rides more frequently in the crowded streets of the city where the quarters are crowded and sunless, ‘the air thick with dust. These are the seven who challenge the medical profession, who challenge the whole of humanity.

CHRIS BERNLOEHR, it turns out, was + .as good a newsboy as he was a lamp-. lighter. His best days were Wednesday, Jan. 29, 1879, and Sunday, July 3, 1881. I never saw the beat of it. Mr. Bernloehr

remembers everything. Let me tell you what he did for me the other day. He took paper and pencil and without a moment's hesitation, re-

corded the name of every family living on Irish Hill from 1875 to 1880. Mr, Bernloehr’s directory of Meek St. (now Maryland St.) looked something like this: Reynolds, C. C. Krug (father-in-law of Gus Rahke), Howe, Wiseman, Whitmore (the Irish Hill bvarding house), Sughrue, Sayre, Dowd, - Small, Goddard, Sullivan, Murphy, Fitzgerald, Shea, Kennedy, McBride, Hawkins, Deglin, Kelly, Kline, Riley, Molthan, Eckel (the gunsmith), Houppert, Collins, O'Neill, Daugherty, Scott, Yarbrough, Tilt, Graney, Graham, course, the Bernloehrs. Well, as I was saying, Mr. Bernloehr did a whale of a business selling newspapers in the Court House yard on Jan. 29, 1879. That day netted him a profit of $3, and July 3, 1881, was even better.

Mr. Bernloehr says he might have made more money on Jan. 29, 1879, had he kept his mind on his work. But he couldn’t, because that was the day . of the first official hanging in Marion County—sure, ‘in the Court House yard.

Mr. Bernloehr's other big day was the Sunday morning he stood at the corner of Pennsylvania and Market Sts. selling extras announcing the assassination of President Garfield. People were so excited that day, says Mr. Bernloehr, that they gave him quarters and forgot ail about the change. President Garfield's assassination was good for $7 profit, says Mr. Bernloehr.

Population Less Than 1700

LL of which reminds me that when Austin H, Brown was 72 years old in 1900, he also had some thing to say about newspaper boys. Mr. Brown also remembered everything. “When I began to carry the Democrat in 1838,” said Mr. Brown, “the population of Indianapolis was less than 1700, and the carrier’s list did not exceed 100 sube scribers. My route embraced the entire town. , Gove ernor Noble’s was the farthest delivery to the ‘east— near where the baseball grounds of last season were.” (Meaning, of course, the one on Oriental and Marke Sts. where Johnny White, Hogriever and Topsy Hart-

sell played.) » » »

Gen. Hanna’s Farthest Northeast 1T farthest northeast was Genf Robert Hanna's, just east of the Union tracks on Massachusetts Ave. The farthest north, James Blake's on North and Tennessee (Capitol Ave.) and Arthur St. Clair’s where the Blind Institute formerly was located. “The remotest western delivery was in Stringtown, beyond the river, and the farthest south was Samuel Merrill’s at Merrill and New Jersey, and Dr. Mc-. Clure’s, where the present Industrial School (Manual Training High School) stands. “There were a few outlying houses beyond these limits. One was called the Presbyterian Grocery, a bakery kept by a good Lutheran named George Brown. I usually lunched there on ginger cakes and spruce beer.” . In 1841-43 with the help of another boy, Mr. Brown carried the 250 copies of the Sentinel. Seven years later he owned and edited the Sentinal. .

A Woman's Vi By MRS. WALTER FERGUSON HA! Here's news. “Men. prefer women with superiority rather than inferiority complexes.” So says a gentleman who manufactures cosmetics and keeps-in close touch with beauty shop life.” He thinks women ought to be like race horSes, well groomed, spirited, holding their heads high; ‘this is the only type men really love, he believes. In his opinion, charming women are happy and happy woinen are charming. Now this man actually has his finger on the feminine pulse. He sees us with our hair down, so to speak, when we are engaged in the important rite of enhancing our loveliness; and unless you've studied women in this unconventional attitude—well, you just don’t kncw anything about the modern sort. Happy women are charming women. A statement worthy of the philosophers, that! A good many dull= witted husbands ought to learn the sentence by heart. It would be so much less expensive for them than going through the customary process of exe changing a used 1930 model wife for a 1937 streama lined siren, which usually requires money for

divorce and alimony, to say nothing of the unpleasant publicity and the emotiondl strain it entails. How

* much simpler it would be to make the old ones over!

A beauty expert and a good dressmaker can do half the work. After a few months of patient effort any worn; -drab specimen can be transformed into a modish, polished, alluring exhibit which her husband is proud to own. The man with, as much knowledge of psychology as every beauty ert has to possess can keep his wife well-tempered and charming indefinitely. Make her happy. That's the medicine, men. Come pliment, encourage and love her. Give her at leas§ half as much attention as you do your golf game or your office correspondence. Under such treatment the most colorless women will have a second blooming, Tell a woman often enough that she is charming and she will be charming.

much discretion to the President in applying war embargoes and by .another branch to give not enough. In the Senate a record vote was taken and the compromise was approved 41 to 15. The negative votes were cast by Senators who believed the bill conferred dangerous powers upon the President, and thought there should have been no compromise with the mandatory principle. Senator Minton voted for the compromise. Senator VanNuyswas not present, but it was announced that he also favored it. One piece of legislation of wide public interest passed by the House was the Doughton (D., N. C.) hill to repeal that provision of the Revenue act of 1936 which provides for publicity of corporation salaries in excess of $15,000 annually. If the iepealer is approved by the Senate, the public will have no way of knowing whether the compensation of William Randolph Hearst and Mae West last year was more or less than the half-million each received in 1935. The repealer was supported on the ground that the present law invades privacy and provides material for sucker lists. It Yas approved by the House 230 to

from?” Country members answered that they would vote to cut $500,000,000 from the $1,500,000,000 proposed for work relief during the next fiscal year. Despite attempted demonstrations by the WPA that the need of relief is no less acute in rural than in urban areas, country members have not been convinced that the interests of their districts would be injured by termination of WPA activities which “compete with farmers” for rural labor. Rural interests, overrepresented to some degree in the House, are overrepresented to a marked degree in the Senate. The day after the Doxey bill was passed by the House, it was accepted by the Senate with a minimum of debate.

One gesture toward economy has been made by the Senate. It cut the $1,660,000 “emergency appropriation bill” sent over from the House by 25 per cent all along the line. The House refused to accept the cut and sent the bill to conference where the differences in approriations will be compromised somewhere between $1,660,000 and $1,245, 000. The Senate was said in the House debate to have “succumbed to an economy hysteria.” On the same day the House passed the War Department Bill, appropriating $416,413,382 for military purposes. This sum is $25,037,598 more than last year’s appropriation. It will provide an increase of 6000 in the enlisted personnel of the Army, raising it to 165,000; an increase of 5000 in the strength of the wold, Jenckes, Greenwood, Petten- | National Guard. and various other , gill, Crowe, and Gray did not vote. |enlargements of national defense On the bill itself the Indiana gote | activities.

Editor. American. Medical Assn. Journal S I have alréady pointed out, rheumatic fever is the greatest single factor in causing heard disease, particularly in children. Just at the age - when rheumatic fever occurs less frequently, apothee form of heart disease appears. . This may occur in childhood, but is not nearly so frequent in children as it is in those over 13 years of age. From that time its frequency increases steadily until about the middle of the third decade of life, after which the incidence gradually decreases. This form of heart disease primarily affects the interior of the heart. It is more frequent in persons who have previously had rheumatic fever, but may affect those who have not had the disease. Endocarditis, or inflammation of the interior of the heart, usually develops in connection with some other disease, such as influenza, septic e throat, pneumonia, or other severe infections. In each case the germ which causes inflammae tion of the heart is one that is responsible for-the coexistent infection. When an infection of the interior of the heart comes on suddenly, the patient has all the usual symptoms of severe infection, including a high fever, chills, and prostration. In the malignant type of endocarditis, the vast majority of cases end in death. There are, however, other instances in which the infection is milder and a small percentage of these ‘patients do recover. About 95 per cent of these cases are due to a form of the germ known as streptococcus viridans. The remaining 5 per cent are caused by other forms of the streptococcus or other germs. Thus: far no specific method of treatment for
