@ so bored / simply had to
disobey."
How many times have you heard
similar remarks from your friends?
For one of the most ridiculous Of
our Inconsistencies Is the hurry
with which we consult our physician
and the fragrant manner in which
we disregard his instructions.
We tell each other all about our
tremendous Doctors bill and just
how 1t keeps us strapped in purse
to preserve the health OF the fam
lily, but 1t never seems to us that a
bit more commonsense would save
us large sums.
Our doctors grow rich (and know
Of no other men who so deserve the
money they accumulate) mainly be-
cause we pay SO little attention to
their advice.
Women are bad enough when II
comes to this, but men are the chief
culprits, for the reason that they
are not used to enduring weeks of
weakness and illness with which so
many women are familiar.
Most men seem to think that they
will never become Ill, and If such dis
aster does overtake them, they re-
gard 1t as the brave and manly
thing to disregard it. Unless they
are almost at deaths door you have
to tie them in bed, and half Of them
kill themselves because they will not
take the proper precautions to in
sure the return Of their normal
health.
The minute they are obliged to
take to their beds they call in
doctor. But are they satisfied when
he comes and tells them what they
must do to recover? No, indeed.
They want instantaneous and
miraculous cures. They insist upon
being. well instantly, as soon as their
pulse is felt and their tongues ex.
amined, and bless you, If they are
not they Immediately start In to
belabor with their tongues the whole
medical profession.
They shout about the gouging
doctors and the terrific fakes and
the amount OF the bill that will be
coming in, when no good has been
done. 1t never seems to occur to
them that cooperation between
physician and patient is necessary IL
cures are to result. They regard
the doctor as good fellow until they
get sick and then he must become
a vendor Of miracles to hold their
esteem.

liams. Welsh baritone assisting art
list, to be presented and assisted by
the Indiana Chapter Of Harpists on
Monday night, Jan. rs, at the
Masonic Temple, is creating a keen
interest among music lovers In In

The chapter Is known TO put
things over big" having the credit
of giving the biggest convention
concert of the National Association
Of Harpists. Inc, held here in May,
1924, when the Murat Theater sold
out to standing room.
The chapter takes great pride In
presenting this excellent harp trio,
the members are Nellie thinner,
Louise Harris and Gladys Crock
ford. who give the harp it's true
place as solo, ensemble and accom-
panying instrument. Some OF the
numbers have been especially ar
ranged for these young women by
tOiilpOHtIos
The organization in the past six
years of it's existence has presented
its varied and delightful programs
to more audiences than any other
representatives of the harp.
Miss thinner, thorough musician
as well as harpist selects her pro.
grams with great discrimination and
the result is that the audience made
up Of musicians and laymen are not
only satisfied, but charmed. Variety
is a happy feature OF the program
in which Tom Williams shares
honors in his arias and groups OF
old Welsh folksongs which never
fail to please an audience.
The ensemble of twenty-five or
more harpists will appear in the
opening and closing numbers. Louise

BRON|NE GIVEN
/ CLOSE STUDY

1t is practically impossible to
predict the extent to which ordinary
gasoline will be ethylized, Carl r.
DeLong. chief of the chemical lii
vision of the United State Tariff
Commission, says i'm reporting TO
the American Chemical Society a
survey of the worlds bromine re-
sources.
The consumption of gasoline
last year in the United States was
about liz billion gallons" he saws.
IF this entire consumption were
treated with ethylene bromide 1ad
tetraethyl lead, 80 million pounds
OF bromine would be required.
It may be unreasonable to as
sumo that all of the gasoline USED
IN this country will be so treated
However, if only 10 per cent Of
the gasoline now consumed should
De converted into loaded gasoline,
there would be required about nine
million pounds of bromine. a guam
tityf nearly three times our maxi
MUM production two years ago.
Much speculation as to the fu-
1ure consumption of and prices for
bropine has followed the decision
Of the United States Public Health
Service that there is no reason to
prevent the use of loaded gasoline

Chemists are at work on 2

stances which, il left in gasp

move them the petroleum industry
each year suffers a loss close to
90, 900, 900 gallons of motor fuel,

It is also possible, Mr. belong

Little attention, he says, has been
paid to the bromines content of thu
saline waters of the United. States.

ton, climatic conditions. and re
ligions connected with its waters
are a barrier to operations.
There is no occasion to fear
that prices for bromine in the. near
future will reach the high level
that existed during the world war;"
he concludes.
So far as can be seen now, any
scarcity for bron1ine that may arise
will result from unexpected demands
for loaded gasoline.
