MUST KNOW POISON
 IVY ID AVOID IT
Govt. Bureau Issues Warning
 to Public

Washington, Sept. tP-"Leaflets three, let it be-" was q homely phrase when Kit Carson roamed Kentucky. And. honored by hun dred years the saying still offers protection to those unacquainted with poison ivy.
 The plant. distinguished in au- ,umn by its whitish or cream color d fruit, exudes a volatile oil from both leaf and stem, a powerful ir- ritant that causes itching. burning, md possibly fatal inflammation.
 In the eastern and central DOT ions Of the United States poison ivy is found as vine, trailing shrub, or as a low, erect, small-fruited bush known to northern sections as the poison oak. From New Jersey, Delaware. and Virginia south and southwestward there is found so- called poison oak that does not climb. West of this region, extending 10 Rocky mountains, this form is re- placed by thicker leaved, low bush or trailing shrub. In the Pacific coast region poison ivy occurs as a bush, and sometimes as vine.
 The plant is known by various local names. including three-leared ivy. poison creeper, climbing sumac. markwecd, picry, mercury. and yeara. It adapts itself to a great variety Of conditions. flourishine in woods or in the open. in low moist soil or in dry soil and on hillsides It is especially abundant along fence rows and at the edges of paths and roadways, scrambling over rocks and walls, climbing posts and trees to considerable heights. often mixing with other shrubbery. such as the harmless five-leaved Virginia crceper in such a way as to escape notice until contact with it causes poison ing.
 Contaminated shoes. clthing or tools arc sources of ivy poisoning. s are also animals having access to poison-ivy patches.
 In many localities the growth is 90 abundant as to discourage at t"mpts to destroy it.

disposing of man-eating shafks if 10 drown them. The idea is an old one, conceived by sailors.
 An enormous hook, baited with large piece of horse flesh or beef. is used as bait in the shark drowning trick. By means of cable or chain this hook is attached to an anchored buoy.
 The line" is then set in the shark infested waters which abound in various coast districts. and when the victim comes along 1t swallows the bait, hook and all. Then the shark will submerge the buoy for q time, the float tueging all the while endeavoring to come to the top and the shark tuggine at the other end. trying for dear life to re- lease himself. In time the shark is worn out. and meets his fate by drowning, down in the ocean depths in which he was so perfectly at home before he took the hook.

SHOT IN HEAD,
STILL LIVES

Today. nearly SO hours after he
shot himself in the head with a
shotgun in his home at Landover
Md, Elwood VolZ, % years old. is
still alive in Emergency II ospital,
despite the fact that his death has
been expected momentarily since
his arrival there.
Volz. a carpenter, was respondent,
his relatives said, because of his
inability to find employment.
Leaving his wife at the home Of
her grandmother, Mrs. Catherine
Seuberlich, a quarter of a mile from
his own house, Volz returned to his
home early yesterday morning,
shouted Goodbye, Mac" to Ray
mOnd McDermott, a roomer, and
went to the cellar. where he placed
the gun on a saw-horse and pushed
the trigger in some unknown man
ner.
When McDermott rushed to the
basement he found that the shot
had torn away the left side of
Volz's face. destroying his eye and
the upper part of his head.
McDermott summoned the Stan
ton Park Hospital ambulance and
then notified Volz's wife, Mrs. Elsie
Loretta Nolz, to whom he was mar
ried in 1926
At the hospital It was said that
the young carpenter retained con.
seriousness throughout all of yes.
treday and kept calling for his
wife. 1t is not thought by ply.
sicians that he can live.
An investigation by Constable
Andrew F. Gasch and Justice of
the Peace O'Neill left no doubt that
Volz's wound was self-inflicted,
they said.

Making Speed Safe

Ono Of the rather unexpected advantages gained
from the installation of automatic traffic signal
lights in general use has been curbing of the
speed mania through highways. BY timing the
lights so that they operate progressively and per-
nit traffic to move continuously at fixed speeds
they serving the double purpose of making the
slowpokes step the gas bit. and forcing the
sixty-milc hour drivers to slow down if they
wish to avoid shifting gears at every light.
The next refinement in this procedure is to in
form drivers at what speed the lights of given
system set IT, at the entrance to every city and
town having traffic lights. a sign were posted to
inform drivers at what speed the signals changed
the menace Of the speed demons would be materially
diminished.
