Lockjaw

Nowadays lockjaw. or tetanus, as 1t is technically known, is a rare disease except on or about July 4 Then. because Of dirt contamination of pistol and other wounds, there usually are many deaths from lock- jaw
 The disease is due to a germ known as tetanus bacillus. Many wounds caused by Fourth of July fireworks are of the puncture type - that is, they reach fairly deeply irto the flesh, but the skin closes over them.
 This type of wound favors the de- Nelopment Of the tetsnus bacillus, for the bacillus thrives when not exposed to tho air.
 The tetanus bacillus belongs to a small group of micro organisms which injure man through q specific poison, or toxin which they pro- dUce
 In sense this poison is like the venom of snake. It gains en- trance into the body, and is spread through the circulation of the blood It affects certain tissues in the body, mainly the nerve tissues, and when present in sufficient quanti- ties, produces death.
 The tetanus bacillus is common and widespread, It is a soil bacil- Jus in that it is commonly found in the ground, especially in the vi cinity of the stables and cowbarns
 In the United States the soil of the Atlantic states is especially con- taminated with the germ-the west ern states on the other hand are relatively free.
 The prevention of tetanus de- pends first upon the cleanliness of wounds, and second on the prompt administration of tetanus antitoxin.
 All puncture wounds and wounds into which dirt of any sort, or shreds of cloth have gained en- trance should be regarded with sus- picion. Antiseptics alone are not to be trusted as a preventive of teta- nus. Cleanliness. exposure to air and sun. and free bleeding are more dependable.
 But, as our war experience dem cnstrated, the best measure of safe ty is early administration of teta- nus antitoxin.

Challenge

By Alice JuQSOQ Gedle
 Johnny, if you do that again I'll slap you"
 Johnny does it again, he is slapped, he cries and nothing has been gained.
 It is not only the unintelligent. ignorant parent who uses threats toward his children. People who know much better do it out of im- patience, or perhaps because they can think of nothing better to say.
 A threat can be successful only when it engenders fear and there- fcre submission. Few parents. how ever. actually are as harsh as they sound. and to the average child his parents threat acts merely as a challenge.
 The very nature of threat im- plies that you expect your child te repeat his offense. You give him no credit for wishing to be good. Feeling that he already has the name. the child quite naturally feels he may as we'll enjoy the game.
 Being threatened with punish ment puts the normal child in position where he really injures his self-respect if he so much as tries to be good
 trates his attention not upon a de-

Dicky's Jealousy Prompts a Threat at Phil Eeritzen, but Madge Brings Him to Time with q Diplomatic Reference to Edith Fairfax


 Reference to Edith Fairfax
 I gave back Dicky's stare coollv, though my pulses were pounding It was one thing to match my wits against Philip Neritzen's, to make him an ambiguous promise that l meant to keep in my own way, not his. It was another to explain my plan satisfactorily to my jealous, temperamental husband.
 I'm not letting myself in for anything I said.
 Dicky laughed unpleasantly.
 You've virtually promised to steal those letters for him from Noel and Mary-to give the t5lnC its short and ugly name. Beg q thou and patGons. old dear, but what else does it amount to? He forbade you to ask them for the letters
 But I did not promise him I would refrain from asking" sad coldlv. Al I promised was to do my best to get the letters for him. And I think you owe me an apol ogy"
 Dickv kaye me a quizzical Titnce. then laughed,
 T shouldn't wonder" he sll. But, my word, your Puritan con- science must be deader than any door nail ever forged. What a e. ticoated Machiavelh you arr, B"t look here. young woman. Don't VOL try any of that stuff or me, It's all right to pull it on old Phil but It i. stop there"
 T don't think I ever have tried to pull anything on YOU as you 90 elegantly express it." I said frigidly.
 Sure. I'm the elegantest guy go- ing" Dicky retorted imperturbably- But, see that you heed them woids, me proud beauty. And let me tel you something about that distin- guished gentleman who has just left us. I've told you this before, but I'm going to warn you again for the good of your soul. You're not al- ways going to get off as easily as you did this morning Phil Neritzen never was noted for his self-re- s-raint. I'm perfectly aware that ne d'dn't kiss you this morning. you were 2 little too quick on the side step for him. Also, he saw me loon1- 1,.- in the doorway just as you

He didn't get in any mischief at all He followed Farmer Browns Bov eve rywhere He was so glad to be back that he had 10 talk about it all the time. As he rode around on the shoulder of Farmer Browns Boy, he talked Crow-tail: continually and Farmer Browns Boy vas certain that it was all about how glad he was to be home again.
 White gruDs are pretty bad this u worst of it is, there isn't much we can do about it. There is the fourth one I have hood out in the last ten minutes"
 He was just about to crush it with his hoe when Jim Crow hoppeI down from the shoulder of Farmer Browns Boy and snatched up that white grub. In a jiffy it had disa p- peared Then what do you think Jim Crow did? He began to walk H"- dately at Farmer Browns heels. His sharp eyes snapped, And every time that Farmer Brown dug out white grub. Jim Crow was right on hand to snap it up. Then he followed Farmer Browns Boy for while. The surprising thing was that he discovered many white grubs that neither Farmer Brown. nor Farmer Browns Boy, saw until he pulled them out.
 All this Farmer Brown watched with considerable interest. Finally he spoke. That Crow Tay be a nuisance at times said he, but he certainly has redeemed himsef this morning I've been watching him. Not only has he been eating those white grubs. but he has been pulling out cutworms Any bird that will hunt white grubs and cutworn,a deserves respect. 1 knew there was

 Don't challenge your child to mis- behave. Try always to put your cor rection in the form of positive suggestion to do something else.

Oct. if to Be Time for Test of Escape Device - Broadcast
 Chain to Give Program.

New London, Oct 1 R)-October 14th has been tentatively set as the date when operations at the sub marine escape training tank at the submarine base will be broadcast by the National Broadcasting company, it was announced today at the base executive office. Graham McNamee will be the announcer. On that day navy meA will enter the tank at the base, and, with the aid of Momsen lungs will ascend to the top of the structure, which towers 135 feet above ground.
 Instruction work at the tank is now being carried on daily under the direction of Lieutenant Com mander P. H. Dunbar. About 20 men enter and leave the tank each day, some going from the bottom entrance to the top. Air locks are established at IS feet and 50 feet from the top so that men not so advanced in escape practices may enter the tank at these levels. En- trance to the tank through an air lock is like entering the water from an escape lock in a submarine. A submarine section Is in the bottom of the tank. It has standard hatch and escape lock.

 Clark. charged with murder of Chief of Police Jenkins, was re- moved from the custody of the three deputy sheriffs on duty at about one o'clock and taken on his death ride in one of the automo- piles of the motorcade.
 At dawn local police reported finding the hanging body. A pre- vious effort to lynch Clark was made two weeks ago last Sunday. Ma tional guardsmen were called out and he was then removed to Atlanta for safe keeping, but returned yes- terday for trial
 The lynching party came to the Ten of the men, all unarmed so far as officers were able to determine, entered the jail office where the deputies were on duty, took the key to Clark's cell from Deputy A.
