Prompt Action Needed in Shock Cases

FOLLOWING electric shock it is
Il first necessary to remove the
electrocuted man from the electric
conductor. Employees O. electrical
corporations do not stop TO shut off
the current. They take of a coat
or wrap and throw it around the pa
TENTS body so as to pull him away
from the contact.
They are told never to put their
hands near the pockets of an cleo
trified man nor near his shoes. be-
cause the presence of metal mate
rial or nails in the shoes will cause
severe shock to the rescuer.
When person has been shocked
by electricity. death may occur in
simultaneously due TO paralysis Of
the centers OF circulation of the
heart because of overexcitation Of
the heart muscle. perhaps due &c
suffocation from the forcible con-
traction Of the muscles of breath

The Birth Of q War Play

A YEAR or so ago before What
"a Price Glory?" was written.
Alexander Woollcott. Stallings and
l were sitting somewhere having a
drink Woollcott had been ser
geant in the medical corps. and
later. at the front. as a reporter for
The Stars and Stripes. my own ex-
perience was entirely reportorial
and mostly in training areas. Stall
lings was the only one of us who
had seen line service from the in
side.
Something was said about the
war. I think Woollcott said it, In
those days he was supposed 20 he a
little romantic about the war. AT
any rate Laurence Stallings ex-
ploded like a mine He wanted TO
know whether either of us had ever
heard the sounds a wounded man
makes in a wheat field when lac has
been lying for hours in the same
spot, where il is impossible 10 reach
him. He went very graphically into
all the details Of what happens when
man is ripped IN the mlddle by
machine gun bullets, and he ended
by saying that he was going to write
a play TO blow war out of the water.
He and Maxwell Anderson wrote
the play and IL didn't blow war
out of the water. l think that
What Price Glory?" deserves 10
rank very close to the top OF the list
OF enduring American plays, but 1t
contains its own particular solace
for those who still believe IN war.

Sometimes death occurs due to
burning. and sometimes the person
who has been shocked by electricity
falls and dies from the fall.
After the person is removed from
contact, artificial respiration is

Cotton rose on President Roose-

The cotton market Immediately re-

the government drive for higher

Cotton easily took the spotlight
in the financial community. Trad

prices continued to soar. In the

The matter of the penalty
payment has been brought to
a head by three orders written
by the commission in which it
was branded as illegal and
unlawful"
Latest of these was approved bv
the commission Friday afternoon in
the Washington electric case. where
10 per cent penalty payment was
eliminated.
Rates of the Washington plant.
municipality owned utility, we're
reduced upon petition of Mayor
John McCarty, and revenues de-
creased about $4,000 annually.
Similar elimination of the penalty
payment has been made in COM
mission orders reducing electric
rates of the former insult companies
at Kokomo and Aurora.
The penalty is levied against
those who do not pay bills within
ten days. In Kokomo, it was
gross rate" charge of | per cent
more than is charged those making
prompt payment.
Cites GiIIiOm Opinion
1t is estimated that 80 per cent of
the utilities in the state have been
making such charges.
Chairman Perry Mozart of the
commission cited an opinion of for
mer Attorney General Arthur l..
Gilliom, given the commission on
Aug. 3, 1926, holding the penalty
charges unlawful.
Most of the rates with penalties
were filed and approved by former
commissions since that time.
Gllllom pointed out that a dis
count from the regular billing might
be allowed for prompt payment, but
that no additions legally could be
made.
The discount method is being fol-
lowed by the Citizens Gas Company,
according to c. l.. Kirk. general
manager. A 10 per cent discount on
all bills of the company would
amount to about ,602 a wear. ac-
cording to their 1882 revenue report.
Fight May Be Made
The Indianapolis Power and Light
Company levies the 10 per cent
penalty, which would amount to
S91,170 on all bills based on 1882
figures.
No penalty charges are made by
the Indiana Bell Telephone Com
pany or the Indianapolis Water
Company. The phone company ex-
poets payments in advance.
Effort to retain the penalty
charges will be made by utility men
next week. A conference is sched-
uled with Chairman Mozart and
John T. Beasley, Terre Haute, pres
ident of the Indiana Gas Utilities
Company and spokesman for the
utility viewpoint.

Colonel Fulgencio Batista, army
chief, was reported angry because
students refused to compromise with
political leaders and conferred sec
reilly with opposition leaders, pre-
liminary to deciding the army's
course.
The governments life was saved
for the moment today when it ap-
parently outwitted sponsors of a
plan for a concerted revolt of rebel
bands planted throughout the island.
Indications were that the respite
might be brief and that if students
refusal to compromise continued, a
revolt of overwhelming scope would
begin.
BY waiting until it had suppressed
a revolt in the Colon area, ITO miles
east of the capital, before rejecting
the latest compromise proposal, the
government apparently thwarted
the major revolt that was to have
started today.
Revolutionists under three in
f1uential leaders seized Manguito
and marched on Colon, important
Mantanzas province railway juno
ton.
1t was learned today that this was
to have been but one of scores of
simultaneous uprisings.
Before the agreed hour, orders
from an unknown directing head
in Havana, rumored to be Mario
Menocal, former president and bit
ter government opponent, counter
manded the plot.
The reason was revealed, appar-
emily, today when the government
rejected the compromise proposal.
Circumstances of the rejection led
to the, fear that the revolt on a
national scale was merely post
DOned.
