former naval lteutenant James R. Osgood, 1503 N. Pennsylvania st. has one that's slightly different. Mr. Osgood has quite a pile of white shirts, such "#8 navy officers wore, but they're collarless, Hence, they aren't much good for civilian dress. He and Mrs. Osgood hate to see the shirts unused, so they ut thelr heads together and figured out what they k might be ‘a solution. Mrs. Osgood has read about people making white shirts from sheets, so’s she , decided someone might cut up a couple shirts and make collars for the others. She can be reached at RI-7641 by anyone who has any ideas on the subject. . . . Another guy with an unusual problem is Duke Nalon, driver of the rocket car tested at the Speedway yesterday. Duke, who has two racing cars, has nothing to ride in. He's testing the rocket car and plans to drive a Ma®rati in the 500-mile classic, but he has no transportation from downtown to the track. Since their arrival here he and his wife has been hitchhiking rides back and forth with other drivers. + + The police have decided to halt the gambling habit at an early age, in their latest , crackdown.

‘When Can We Eat?

BERLIN, May 22.—“General,” sighed the German _Rutrition expert wishfully, “if only I could see before me one of those big cans of Towa lard—clean, white lard!” “Well, your man Hitler would whip up a war,” replied the general. “He would announce Germany didn’t need our Midwestern surplus fats. He would grant subsidies to increasing herb cultivaiton from 12,000 to 636,000 acres though it cost your government twice the price of our lard.” “I know, I know,” said the German. “You're not answering Germany's question—when can we eat?” Germany's food shortage (which can be multiplied by virtually every country on the continent) is due Ao no confused rehabilitation program. It can be told in a few words: Hitler, by granting high subsidies and preaching daily, got Germany to producing 85 per cent of her food needs by 1938-39. He had manpower, equipment, fertilizer. Seventy-five per cent had been: normal, meaning der fuehrer boosted the batting average only 10 points and still was shy an occasional vitamin.

Soil Poor In Fertilizer

CAME THE WAR. The basic chemicals of which fertilizers are made were fashioned into munitions. The soil of Germany hasn't been fed for five years. Factories which made farm machinery began making war machinery. Horses which had tilled the soil pulled artillery pleces. Hogs ate grain, as man

Science

THERE MAY BE ways of destroying civilization that are cheaper and simpler than attaching atomic bombs to supersonic rockets. It is something we are likely to forget as Joint Task Force No. 1 gets ready ' to set off atomic bombs at Bikini atoll and the army ordnance department fires the captured Nazi V-2 rockets at the White Sands proving grounds in New Mexico. But scientists and industrialists who attended the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the birth of George Westinghouse in Pittsburgh last week were reminded of it by the address of George W. Merck, who served during world war II as chairman of the highly secret United States biological warfare committee. A report was made by the nation’s top scientists late in 1941 that biological warfare appeared feasible and so a unit was organized under the most extreme secrecy with the collaboration of the army, the.navy, and a number of universities, research institutions, and industries, Neither the United States nor any of her allies used biological warfare in world war II but there were persistent reports that the Japs had tried to spread plague germs in Chinese villages. During world war II, I talked with high-ranking generals of ¢he Chinese medical corps who believed that they had positive evidence of attempts by Japanese airplanes to spread plague germs.

Warns Biological Warfare

MR. MERCK, who also held the post of consultant to the secretary of war, warned his audience that those charged with guarding the national se-

ourity must continue to be alert to the possibilities of biological warfare,

My Day

NEW YORK (Tuesday).—In Washington tomorrow, May 22, there will be held a memorial service for ‘Harry Hopkins. Those of his friends who are able to attend will be grateful for an opportunity to think of him and to talk about him to others who still keenly feel his death. In the last years of my husband's life, Harry Hop~ kins was probably his closest and most trusted coworker, He went on missions that required tact and courage, and he met the great men of the world face to face. I cannot remember the time when he looked really strong and, as the years went by, he became more and more delicate, Yet he seemed to be able to rise above his bodily weakness and meet every great emergency, Perhaps it was this quality of indomitable spirit which first drew my husband and Harry Hopkins together, They met and worked together in New York state while my husband was governor and Mr, Hopkins had charge of the state unemployment relief program. They got on well then, and when Mr. Hopkins came to Washington to take over the much larger and more serious relief job that faced the nation, my husband felt he was dealing with someone he already knew and on whom he could count.

Worked on World Picture IT WAS NOT, however, until domestic issues began to be secondary and the war seemed to be growing dally closer to us, that the two men really began to work on the whole world picture together. My husband recognized the weaknesses as well as the strength of the people with whom he worked. I heard him take Harry Hopkins to task because, 2 57ite of Tofakiod NAGEL Le MOTE Go ae unis

A Classroom Project

MRS. MARIE PRITCHARD, teacher of begifining class at school 91, is afraid she’s “going to become an inveterate hensetter.” For the past weeks she's had a hen setting on 14 eggs in her schoolroom, Mrs. Pritchard had heard about it as a schoolroom experiment but says she went into it “with my tongue in my cheek.” Now, after nine eggs have hatched, she says she's “sold” on it as a class project. . All 32 of her pupils have become keenly dnterested and it's accelerated their progress no end. What's more, they're extremely anxious to keep quiet so as not to disturb the hen, which teacher doesn't find a bit hard to take. The experiment has many facets as a project. The students have become extremely interested, bringing worms, grass, bre:

into practice. Counting eggs, and so on has helped their pumber conception, All in all, the project's, been a great success and both the class and teacher will be sorry to see the hen and chicks return to the farm this Friday.

A hue and cry set up immediately, but she was nowhere to be Jou Then Monday night a Sigma Chi, Beverly Maze, of 3623 N. Illinois st, found the mascot in 3700 block on N. Kenwood st. He took her vd with him in case the “dognappers” should try the stunt again, and returned her to owner Jim Mitchell yesterday. There's still no clue as to who the villains might be, but maybe we have a tip. Monday we got a call from an operator on the Illinois-Butler line who said that he noticed a collie

puppy in the waiting car at the end of the Butler |

line Sunday night. The dog he saw answers June Ann's description. It was still there when he drove the last car in. It's possible that the ‘“‘dognappers” used the waiting room until the trail cooled. ,

does; so the hop were killed, thus saving bread for man. Came the peace. Eastern Germany, that portion Russia whittled off and gave to Poland, is rich in foodstuffs. Regularly it had fed itself, then shipped food for 4,000,000 residents of Germany's Ruhr. That land is gone—even the Poles aren’t using it this year—and virtually 10,000,000 Germans who have been driven from it and from the Sudetenland into present German boundaries must be sheltered and fed.

Many Gardens at Homes SO I HUNTED up Brig. Gen. Hugh Hester, chief of military government's food and agriculture branch. The general knows his oats and corn. Nor is he a 40-hour-a-week office sitter. “1 flew over Berlin yesterday, looking for gardens,” said Gen. Hester, “and every foot of available soil is being planted. And it's the same all over Germany.” “It1 help, too, during what looks like a pretty rough summer. But it’s a minor item. We're at the bottom of our grain barrel now. There will be a few early potatoes in August, wheat for flour by October.” “What about the basic food crops?” “This year’s crop will be 50 per cent, because of poor seed and no fertilizer,” he said. “And when can we hope for normal crops?” “In two years—if we get fertilizer; longer if we don't; still longer if we don't get enough food to produce enough coal to produce enough manufactured goods to produce economy.’

There was, however, a brighter side to Mr. Merck's remarks. He pointed out that in the work already uone toward devising defenses against such warfare many discoveries have been made that eventually will be of incalculable benefit to mankind.

World-Wide Disease Control “IN RESEARCH in biological warfare lies a firm promise of the control on a world-wide basis of many diseases afflicting man and beast as well as plant life,” Mr. Merck told the Westinghouse centennial forum. “Perhaps no other type of warfare can bring with it such a guarantee of good—economic advantages in agriculture, parallel gains in animal husbandry, and above all, vital contributions to the fight against human suffering. “The investigations of this field and the revelation of its inherent quality of producing not only weapons and defenses but also fundamental and practical advances of knowledge and contribution to science, have necessitated writing of a new chapter in biological science.” Mr. Merck said that wartime researches had yielded information concerning the effect of more than 1000 chemical agents on living plants. The work was originally undertaken to find chemicals which could be used to destroy an enemy's crops but it also yielded information which can now be used to control weeds. I think it will be well for the people of all nations to realize that every avenue of science may in the end prove like atomic energy the means to advance civilization or the means to destroy it. Eventually, it must dawn on the nations that the survival of civilization is only possible if war is truly outlawed.

suffer. However, my husband understood the impa_tience with bodily handicaps which made Mr. Hopkins such a poor patient.

Roosevelt Needed Trusted Aid

TO A MAN who was handicapped physically in the

way my husband was, it was almost essential that he|

have a few people whom he could trust absolutely

and whom he could use as messengers. He had to|} i= have the knowledge that his messages would be de-|}

livered accurately and that his ideas would be conveyed in the way he wished them conveyed. True, he expected everyone who worked for him to use their own initiative and their own judgment whenever the need arose, But when they were carrying a message, or getting a plan across, any initiative must bear on the ultimate accomplishment, and the personality of the individual must not in any way obscure the job that had to be done.

Harry Hopkins was in himself a very big person. I|f

think it was because of this that he was willing to subordinate himself and to accept the fact that the objects for which he and my husband worked together

were more important than any kudos which he might|

acquire for himself. In some ways, the comforts and luxuries of this world were matters of complete insignificance to Mr. Hopkins, and yet there was another side to his character. There were times when he felt he wanted to enjoy them all. But always his tongye was in’ \his| cheek, and you felt that a little imp sat on his shoulder and said: “Go ahead and have a good time, but you know it has no real value.”

And for real fun, your own seedlings, as a number of local gardeners gathered these pointers do. Mr. and Mrs. Edward A. Zickler, 1823 Koehne st. each do their own hybridizing. Of the 725 seedlings— no two alike—blossoming now in their yard, Mr. Zickler's make up about 75 per cent. “But next year,” he said, “my wife's seedlings will make up the bulk of our planting.

Their {iris are growing, he explained, in “almost pure gravel.” Good drainage is essential for bearded iris if you want the best blooms. If you have poorly drained soil, Mr. Zickler advises planting in beds raised 4 to 6 inches. Barely cover the rhizomes. Root rot is a serious threat to iris. Mr. Zickler cuts back his iris leaves, “only when I'm going to transplant, to slow down evaporation.” He finds June transplanting gives the plants a better start for the following year.

SAYS INDIANA LABOR MEDIATION RAPID

An “obvious inclination on the part of both management and labor in Indiana to resolve differences by mediation” was cited today by State Labor Commissioner Charles WwW. Kern. The Hoosier state leads all others in “prompt and practical aid in labor-management disputes,” Kern said. He said that in 12 disputes entered into by the labor division in the past month, five were “promptly and “satisfactorily” settled and the other seven were nearing ‘settlement. He estimated that 95 per cent of Indiana's industries have converted to peacetime production.

THE DOCTOR SAYS: Causalgia Feels Like Stab

Nerve Pain Develops in Limbs

By WILLIAM A. O'BRIEN, M. D. A PAINFUL nerve in an arm or leg may result from an injury in which only a part of the nerve is destroyed. : This condition, called causalgia, is most common following military injuries, because of their destructive nature, Patients with causalgia usually say the pain started im-mediately after the injury, although a few hours or days may intervene in some cases, The pain, which is distributed over that part of the extremity supplied by the sensitive portion of the nerve, is variously described as throbbing, aching, knife-like, Stabbing, burning, twisting, and crushing. After it develops it does not cease, although it may vary in severity. In most cases, the severest pain is felt during the day, although some patients complain most of night pain.

Last Tribute Is Beloved as

“SURELY GOODNESS and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.” The simple greatness of the 23d Psalm echoed through a quiet, sunbathed section of Crown hill yesterday as relatives and close friends of Newton Booth Tarkington stood with heads bowed, in humble last tribute.

AGGRAVATION of ‘the pain by unusual conditions is one of fits most characteristic features, Sudden movements, loud noises, jolting, and contact with dry surfaces makes the pain worse. Noise may be so distressing that the patient prefers to remain in bed with his ears plugged with cotton. Why contact with a smooth surface, such as a bed sheet or a plece of paper, makes the pain worse cannot be explained. Just as unusual circumstances make the pain worse, it is relieved by unusual methods. The majority of the patients with causalgia find that wrapping the affected part with a damp cloth is soothing; some prefer a cool cloth, while others like it warm. Patients often go tg such extremes in applying moist applications to the skin that maceration or softening is produced. Patients with causalgia may prefer to remain in a quiet room and

permit no one to speak to them, as this makes life more ‘bearable. r » »

TREATMENT of causalgia depends on the severity, as an occasional case apparently subsides in a few months without any special treatment. The more severe varieties, however, require a surgical operation on the sympathetic nerves in the back, in which those supplying the affected part are cut. Temporary relief from pain may

Remarkable relief is obtained, in the majority of cases, by sympathetic nerve operations, with many patients reporting complete disappearance of all pain and no further difficulty with noise, excitement, or jarring.

Hairdresser In London Pours On Heliotrope

FREDERICK G. OTHMAN United Press Staff Correspondent LONDON, May 22-1 wish you could smell me today. Only I would not want you tb see me. I've got heliotrope patené leather hair

| glistening red in the sunlight like

a grenadier guard. What I'm trying to say is that I've just patronized a gentlemaa's hairdresser. I think you'll be more interested in what went on behind his purple velvet curtains than in Westminster Abbey. su 8 THE ABBEY is Britain's most historic shrine, but Oswald the gentleman's hairdresser is a gent. I'd had my morning tea and was strolling down Piccadilly (wishing I had a walking stick) when I saw the sign: “Dover gentlemen's court hairdresser, by appointment to: Grenadier guards.” Oswald explained that meant when a grenadier gets a bid to a brawl at the court of St. Jame's he drops in first for a hair trim, shave, singe and heliotrope friction to make him look as handsome as he smells. And vice versa, Oswald added. But I'm getting ahead of my story. » » » THE DOVER gentlemen's hair dressing salon looked like no barber shop -I've ever seen. The foyer was hushed, dignified and gloomy. Having identified myself as a prospective patient, I took a seat as at the dentist's. Eventually Oswald announced he would see me, I was led through a paneled corridor to a room lned with royal flavored velvet. There was an easy chair in the middle, with a wash basin at its side. r “ n MY ATTEMPT to take off my coat shocked Oswald, a slim citizen in a tan artist's smock. He sald British gentlemen never removed their jackets nor loosened their cravats to get their hair trimmed. 1 put my jacket back on and Oswald went to work, He identified himself as a hair dresser of 25 years’ experience, mostly on Dukes, but he he couldn't fool me. ¥ . ON THE wall directly in front of me was a picture of a nekkid lady advertising = “Slenira Slimming Creme,” five shillings a jug and positively guaranteed to make slender. I asked Oswald if it woul make me slim. “Oh sir,” he replied, “you are pulling my leg.” I assured him I was not and Oswald said: “As you must have noticed, sir, pictures of the female form are not numerous in London. I keep this one posted for the edification of my clients.”

¥ . » I BAT there edified while Oswald made me look like a peeled onion. The purchaser of a haircut gets his money's worth in London. Oswald gave me an oil shampoo and then he said I needed a friction. This turned out to be a scalp massage. I told him to go easy on the beautiful smells. “Oh yes, sir,” Oswald said. a dash of heliotrope.” He sloshed it on. I smell like the royal flower garden in August.
