EVERY ONCE in awhile we see or hear things that make us do mental doubletake and leave us wondering. . . . For instance, there was the conversa-

"tion between two clerk in a drugstore at Illinois and

Maryland sts. yesterday. One girl finished a sentence with: “Didn't you know that, Betty?” The other replied somewhat airily, “Oh yes; I knew that. I know everything-—I'm psychopathic.” We think she may

have meant psychic but we could be wrong. . . . Then

there was the man who was standing on the corner of Maryland and Delaware sts. at 7 p. m. Wednesday night with a box full of bottled beer. Everytime a car pulled up to the stoplight he'd wave a bottle of beer at them, apparently either offering to give away or sell the scarce amber fluid. Strangely enough, he had no takers, . .. One of our agents asked us something we couldn't answer, but it aroused our curiosity, too. A woman who was carrying a cane and tin cup boarded the 21st and Arlington bus the other night. What puzzled our informant was that although the woman was apparently blind, she’ was wearing a watch of the ordinary lapel variety. . . . Shoppers who looked up as they passed Strauss yesterday got a thrill out of a “human fly,” A workman on top of the tall building was sitting unconcerned on the corner of the

Mountains too High GUS SUESS, Indianapolis old-time barber whom one of his customers said: “Talks your ear off while he cuts your ‘hair off,” has something to tell his customers now. He's back at his shop at 202 W, Maryland after his first vacation since 1910. That was the year, Gus' customers will remember, that he went to Chicago. He was going to take a lake excurs sion but he took one look at Laké Michigan and backed off quick—too big, he said. “They couldn't pay me to get on that thing,” Gus often says. . . . This time he went to Yellowstone National park, where the water comes in smaller bunches, He saw the mountains for the first time though and they “scared me to death.” He'd been halfway thinking of going to Los Angeles next year but now he’s not going. “Not if I have to go across those mountains.” In fact, he says, he’s just too content as a Hoosier to do much more traveling. Gus has spent 45 of- his 60 years barbering, but none of his sons followed in his footsteps. “Thought too much of them to teach 'em the trade,” he says.

Serial Set Precedent ANY OLDTIMERS IN TOWN remember what year The Times carried its first serial story; a thriller called “Chickie?” There was a lot of excitement about it at the time, some 17 to 20 years ago. It marked the first splurge of sidewalk and trash can advertising. As a matter of fact, the way one of our agents remembers it is that it marked the first time card space was ever sold on the side of the city trash

Tasty Trout

GUNNISON; Colo., Aug. 16—If you want to eat these "tasty Gunnison river trout after thousands of fishermen have been working over the stream all summer, you've got to know how to: ‘ "ONE: Use a fly rod, or, TWO: Use your head. Big Jim West is the best I ever saw in the No. 2 classification. Big Jim runs the Hollywood theater in Memphis,

* Some weeks, ago he decided to quit being a slave to

his business. He was going to break away and have some fun. So he bought a new car, and he and Mrs. West headed for Colorado. : In Colorado Springs he told friends he would like some trout fishing. Where should he go? They said the Gunnison river was tops—the most famous trout stream in the world. Jim bought a swell outfit, includingan assortment of flies simulating every kind of flying and hopping bug known to Western entomologists. He and Mrs, West rented a cozy cabin at Eden's Resort; and Jim donned his boots, draped himself with his swanky equipment, and headed for the river. -Jim fished until-he got caster’s cramps—and never caught a trout. "He got only one strike and that excited him so he jerked the hook right out of the fish's mouth.

Then Jim started using his head. He made

. friends.with the couple in the. next cabin—Mr. and

Mrs. N. E. Medlock of Colorado Springs. Mr. Medlock, a real estate man, has been coming here to fish for 25 years. He knows this river, and he knows his flies. He catches trout when others don’t.

Shares His Find

80, BY the time we arrived on the’ scene, Big Jim was living high, eating trout and having the grandest time of his life. He's a gentleman, too. When he heard we were in Gunnison, he looked us up—and shared his find with us. He introduced us to the Medlocks, who

Aviation

NEW YORK, Aug. 16.—Tony Le Vier, the man who probably has flown faster than any other, is out to win the famed. Thompson Trophy race at the

coming Ni#tional Air races in Cleveland. And what Tony has done to a standard Lockheed P-38J fighter is indicative of what many other veteran race and fighter pilots are doing to P-38s, P-47s, P-61s and other fast warplanes which they have obtained at low cost from RFC's surplus aircraft division. Tony, who once won the Greve and placed second in the Thompson, is the chief engineering test pilot of Lockheed and did most of the dive testing during the war on the P-38 and the famed P-80 Shooting Star jet fighter. It was while diving the Shooting Star that he placed himself probably at the top of the list of fastest flying humans, Believe it or not, Tony has taken just 4000 pounds (two tons) off the weight of the P-38 bringing its gross weight down to 13,500 pounds for aerobatics, He will have to add 3000 pounds of gas for the 300 mile Thompson, but his plane still will be 1000 pounds lighter than during war use,

Plane Is Stripped Down LEADING EDGE gas tanks, all armament and plate, carburetor air scoop, horizontal stabilizer tips, turbo-superchargers and much electrical wiring have been removed. Even the pivot mast on one wing has been moved to the nose to eliminate drag.

My Day

NEW YORK, Thursday.—I am sorry to have to write a different type of column from that I have been writing but, unfortunately, while driving down from Hyde Park yesterday, I must have become

drowsier than realized and, before I knew it, I had come head on with another car in a collision and then sideswiped a second one. I was terrified to think that someone else might have been hurt. My son’s maid, whom I had in my car, was slightly injured but I hope she will be all right in a few days. And the little grandson of another maid fortunately was not hurt. The hospital tells me that the people in the other cars were not seriously hurt, either, but I know what a terrible shock this must myst have been for all of them. I have never had a motor accident before and had no idea that the sun, together with the fact that I had no one sitting by to talk to me, could have such a bad effect in making me so drowsy. I can only be thankful to a kind providence if no one was seriously hurt.

Black and Blue

I MYSELF AM quite well, though for some time I shall look as though I had been in a football game without having taken’ any training! My eyes are black and blue. In fact, I am black and blue pretty much all over. If I tied a bandana around my head, I think I would resemble some of the Pirates Penzance. I am told that I will feel more of a action in the next few days, but at present I just feel that T have much to be grateful for and that what little discomfort T have should be borne most cheerfully.

Fishermen Crowd Region THE GUNNISON region is crowded with fishermen and other vacationists. If you come here without a cabin reservation you may find yourself up against a tough problem. Kenneth A. Bundy, one of the editors and publishers of The Gunnison Courier, went into ation on our behalf. He phoned around to various camps, but had no luck. Nothing vacant. : Then he called Mrs. Alma B. Miller, secretary of the Chamber: of Commerce, and told her that the Roarks were threatening to pitch their tent right in the middle of town and give Gunnison some - unfavorable publicity: Mrs. Miller did some phoning and 20 minutes later announced triumphantly that she had feund a cabin at Sloppy Hollow Resort, right on the bank of tHe river. So here we are in a two-room log cabin. The price is $3 a day. We haven't plumbing and we're cooking on a wood stove, but it’s comfortable. The weather is wonderful, and Mr. and Mrs. G. L. Freche, who operate the ranch, are Jriendly and accommodating. All our neighbors are fishermen. They aren't catching many trout, but they are having a good time wading around and working up enormous appetites. We rented a couple of horses today and took turns riding. One was a 24-year-old mare named Queen, and the other was a younger horse named Silver. They thought' I had better ride Queen, and I agreed. I-thought she wouldn't have much pep, but I was wrong.

Tony points out that it still is a stock plane, although stripped down to the limit. He will not use water injection, which some pilots are experimenting with. But his two Allison in-line engines will deliver much more horsepower and that is Tony's own secret.

Plans to Stunt Ship

ON THE, PYLONS, Tony is going to have a big advantage over the one-engined racing planes. His two props are counter-rotating, thus eliminating torque, which has proved exceedingly dangerous in vertical banks around the pylons, Tony's efforts are not going to be confined to the two races. He has agreed to use his big bright red P-38 to perform thrilling aerobatics for the National race crowd. On the takeoff Tony will do a double Immelman, then perform some Cuban “8s” and rolls. He will climb out of an inverted dive with one engine feathered and on that single engine will perform a compressibility (almost vertical) dive from 16,000 feet. Climbing back up to that height he then will feather both props, do an Immelman, drop gear and flaps and come in to a “dead stick” landing in front of the grandstand. And, brother, when anyone lands a P-38 with both engines dead, he is doing something. Tony will have a large white No. 3 on his plane. And it will not be surprising if past Thompson records are beaten by nearly 100 miles per hour. The purse is ‘$40,000 and 12 planes will compete. ‘The races will be staged on Aug. 30 and 31, Sept. 1 and 2.

This accident, I am afraid, will prevent my doing a humber of things which I had planned to do during the next few weeks, because I am quite sure no one would like to see me! However, many years ago, I read a little pamphlet entitled “The Indispensable Man,” which could just as well be eatitled “The Indispensable Woman,” and I know that 6thers will be found who will do a better job on the things which I had undertaken for the next few weeks. I am interested te find how many things the doctor can find to think about when you have had an accident! ‘There are many things that can go wropg but, thank heavens, none of them did with me.

Long Hours at the Dentists HOWEVER, I HAD to spend three and a half hours at the dentist's this morning. A great many years ago, on the steps of the station in Utica, when I was on my way to make a speech one wintry day. I fell and cracked both my front teeth, chipping bits off of them. As a result, I suppose, they were fragile, and so, in this accident, they broke off about halfway up, Now I shall have two lovely porcelain ones, which will look far better than the rather protuding large teeth which most of the Roosevelts have. However, three hours and a half is a long while to spend with the dentist under the best of circumstances, and I must go back to him tomorrow and again next week. Above everything else, I was grateful for being “brought to my own door before I looked too badly. I think I shall be wearing a veil for some time, but

. CAMP ATTERBURY, Ind., Aug. 16.—An old Chinese philosopher once said that “time” has neither friend nor enemy.

Here in Wakeman General hospital everyone is trying hard to make “time” a friend to the more than 1500 patients still recovering from wartime-inflicted wounds and army-incurred illnesses. One year after V-J day, hospital personnel have developed a diversi fied program of work, play and relaxation for the bed-weary soldiers throughout the 90 wards. For most of the patients, however, the work outlined by attend-

ing for burned and broken limbs.

The men are eager for this training. “We've had trouble with only one case in all the time I've been here,” reported Miss Myra McDaniel, chief of 13 O.

And Lamar blossomed forth as a rich, pompous and clever stock manipulator, ” » LAMAR’S STAR shone in a constellation of Gay Ninety brilliance. He wore a huge mustache. He was pomaded, perfumed. His luxurious tastes ran to cold bottles, small birds. He loved horses. He paraded with women. In '98 Lamar made the first of a series of court appearances. He struck the proprietor of a lobster palace with a champagne bottle. A “comedy queen” was ‘insulted.” The fine was $5. New York society next heard of Lamar when he drove the great bay gelding Azote, world’s fifth fastest trotter, in the newly opened Speedway. He always appeared at the track in his own - glittering coach-and-four, Lamar the gentleman soon attracted the attention of the great speculator, James R. Keene.

THERE 1S no record of their initial session to plague Wall Street with false rumors, but Lamar became Keene's gumshoe man and an expert blackmailer of huge com-| bines. In 1902 financiers amazingly read of a suit by a small group of U. 8S. Steel stockholders to restrain that corporation from converting $200,000,000 in preferred stock - into bonds. Lamar, behind the suit, wanted a payoff to drop the action. And one year later he audaciously attempted to defraud the great E. H. Harriman and assertedly precipitated the 1903 panic. Lamar approached Harriman as the novice who had cleaned up in U. 8S. Leather common stock. Harriman then was jousting. with Morgan and James J. Hill. » » ~ MASKING HIS burning hate of the Wall Street titans, Lamar brazenly tendered a blackmail proposition to Harriman involving a pool in Southern Pacific. “Get out!” the enraged financier told him.

As “Judge” Lamar, he had imbued the senator with antitrust venom. Someone whispered to the senator that Lamar was a mountebank. The senator tossed away his speech. Lamar went into temporary hiding. In 1913 a new Wolf appeared in the financial zone. In Washington he had gathered some crumbs from his one-man anti-trust crusade.

THE DOCTOR SAYS: Streptomycin Helps Conquer Disease—

Successful Where Sulfa Fails

By WILLIAM A. O'BRIEN,

THE ANNOUNCEMENT that limited distribution of streptomycin will" start September 1, under supervision of the civilian production administration, is good news, The distribution will provide physicians with a remedy to use in treating certain infections which have not responded to the sulfa drugs or penicillin, Streptomycin was discovered by Selman A. Walksman, Ph.D, and his New Jersey agricultural experiment station associates at Rutgers university in 1941.

~ »

THESE investigators extracted the remedy from fungi which are found in rotten leaves and stagnant rain water. The researchers were rewarded with success because they anticipated that the soil contained agents” which kept the germ life under control and killed off the excess, Streptomycin aids the body in combatting infections in a natural way. .When the drug is injected into tissues, it goes to all parts of the body by way of the blood, destroying special varieties of germs

"

.| (Streptomycin cannot do the job alone, however; the body must take care of a certain number), ” » » STREPTOMYCIN appears to be retained in the body longer than is penicillin, and for oy reason the injections are given at less frequent intervals. The excess leaves by way of the urine, which must be checked regularly to make sure that not too much streptomycin is accumulating in the body. The effect of streptomycin on germs has been studied in the test tube, where it is effective on certain varieties which penicillin and the sulfa drugs fail to kill. It has been tried on experimental tuberculosis in guinea pigs with apparently good results, » ” » WITH THE limited amounts which have been available, experts have been using streptomycin in certain diseases in man (infec tions of the urinary tract, influenzal meningitis, tularemia, typhoid fever, and certain forms of tuberculosis). In some forms of tuberculosis, streptomycin may prove to be the treatment. of choice if enough of

wherever they are encountered.

ent time, there is no Ikelihood that we will abandon the rest treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis. Streptomycin will be used as a supplement, rather than as a replacement, ¥ » n STREPTOMYCIN is of proven value in Infections caused by certain germs. Its effect varies with the strain, and in some cases it is of no value at all. Streptomycin has not yet been obtained in a pure form, and it may be that some of the So-called impurities have important treat-| ment properties. The chemical formula of streptomycin: is complicated, and it is not likely that it will be reproduced in the laboratory for some time, But commercial production will soon catch up with our need, according to those in charge of the program. » QUESTION: What is Paget's disease?
