TO find a young woman of nine
teen with scientific-m echan-
ical type of mind is rare enough.
But when that young woman has
also a domestic bent, the fact
should not pass unrecorded. Helene
Rhodes, who is art" designer for
the Powerola Radio Corporation of
New York, has been interested in
radio since it's inception, and took
up the designing of cabinets with
a view to balancing the receiver
within, for tonal qualities.
Perhaps, therefore, it is not to
be wondered at that when Miss
Rhodes turns to domestic fields, in
which she is also interested, she
goes at it in more scientific man.

II NTO tropical jungle of Brazil
from which few white men have
escaped alive, a modern Captain
John Smith is about to venture.
He is placing his faith upon mod
ern science to soothe the savage
breast, as did Smith, with his mag
netic compass, some two hundred
years ago. A powerful electric
flashlight and a sensitive radio receiv-
ing set are the means, by which the
intrepid American explorer hopes to
divert the murderous intentions of
the cruel Chervantes Indians, who in
habit the River of Death Region,
just south of the Amazon basin.
"There is legend in Brazil" ac-
cording to Francis Gow-Smith, who
dares to risk his life upon so thin
thread, "t1at no white man has ever
returned from an exploration trip up
the Rio das Mortes, and from that
fatal connotation the waterway de-
rives its name, the River of Death
The hostile Chervantes Indians,
who stink through the heavy tropical
foliage of the River of Death ter
ritory, acquired their hatred of the
white man hundreds of years ago
while the Spaniards held them under
an iron rule. For years treasure ships
of booty, laden with gold and jewels
rewarded the Spanish conquerors.
But we'll organized revolt of the
Chervantes resulted In the death of
every last invading Spaniard and to
this day they have successfully re-
sisted the advance of civilization.
Few Escape Poison Arrows
A few years ago three hardy Bra
zilians ventured into the Chervantes
territory. Two of them were slain.
The third escaped because the In
dams thought that his eyeglasses de-
noted supernatural powers. They
adopted him as medicine man and
gave him a native wife. But these
signal honors held him only until the
first opportunity to escape offered itself.
Another explorer, German, es-
capped from the River of Death coun-

UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO, Moscow
-Idaho's rural homes are relatively
more modern than the average rural
homes in the United States, accord

the amount of and improvement in

Among the home factors considered
in making the comparison, were: cleo
tricity, water supply, household

the savage breast. Another explorer
enchanted these murderous natives BY
means of his binoculars. But these
are the only cases of successful pene-
Itration of the Chervantes territory.
Francis Gow-Smith was the next
to expose himself to the poisoned ar
rows of the Sinking Indians. For
five days with hastily collected crew
|of timid but friendly Carajas he
worked his way up the Rio das
Mortes.
Gow.Smith's First Venture
"The scene was an endless para
disc of peace and flaming beauty. The
banks were walled with forests and
draped with the gorgeous colors of
flowing vines. Over the silver sheet
|of the water flashed in kaleidoscope
|of amazing color the wings of par
rots and strange butterflies. Solemn
ly on the rocks along the shore stood
countless long-billed ibis, Haunting
their plumage in pastel shades of red,
green, purple and blue. Other fish
ermen, the graceful jaguars, lay dain-
tily draped on branches over the
stream where shoals of fish, feeding
on floating petals, were so thick that
"a swift paw could scoop up mouth
full at WILL" wrote Smith in a recent
issue of Worlds Work. Gall was en-
chanting peace. Yet I could almost
feel the unseen eyes of the Chervan-
ties watching our every move from
among the trees. And a column of
signal smoke, rising now and again
above the forest rock, revealed that
our progress was being reported to
natives higher up"
On the sixth day this languid peace
was interrupted by the vicious swish
ing of poisoned arrows. Instantly al
babble of hysterical cries from Smiths
terrified CARACAS. In moment the
canoe was headed down stream in a
panic stricken flight. So ended Smiths
first expedition.

Dangers of Home Medication

The common practice of administer
Ing strong cathartics, particularly cas-
tor oil and epson salts, is fraught
with much danger The first thought
of many mothers or grandmothers
when child complains of Stomach
ache Is to give dose of castor oil.
Likewise, an adult with no medical
knowledge usually resorts to salts or
some laxative water when any acute
digestive disturbance occurs.
Many lives are sacrificed yearly
through this indiscriminate use of
cathartics. Most severe digestive dis
turbances in which resort is made to
these powerful medicines are: ulcer
of the stomach, or first portion of the
ntestines, gall bladder disease, acute
Intestinal obstruction and appended

eases and are fraught with the gray
est danger.
| Ulcer Of the stomach often per-
| forates the wall of the stomach or
bowels, leads to the escape of the
stomach contents into the abdominal
cavity, resulting in peritonitis. Any
drug which increases the contractions
of the stomach or acts as an irritant

of perforation. Early recognition and

delay and home medication are most
dangerous.
The same danger exists in intesti-
nal obstruction which is usually ush-
cred In by abdominal pain, vomiting
and symptoms OF acute Indigestion.
The bowel In these cases is construct
ed by some mechanical condition; a
band, twist or some growth obstructs
the intestinal canal. The giving of
cathartics stimulates the muscular
contractions of the bowel, intensifles
the symptoms and often leads to rapid
death. Only the skilled surgeon can

In acute appendicitis, one of the
most common affections in children
and in young people, common resort Is
made by laymen to cathartics In
acute appendicitis there Is inflamma-
ton with the presence Of highly vir-
ulent germs. Nature tries to protect
the inflamed appendix and the lining
Of the abdomen by forming adhesions
and putting the abdomen at rest. Ca
thartics increase the movements of
the bowels, favor the growth Of germs
and spread the infection.
In all of these acute digestive dis
turbances the physician or surgeon is
too often dismayed by the confident
statement of the mother that she has
given q dose of castor oil herself. In
all acute digestive disturbances the
giving of cathartics should be tabooed
and medical advice sought early.
