} Wounds form explosives are
not the only ones in which
tetanus may develop, although
this cause is the most frequent.
Street injuries and auto
mobile accidents, where dirt
gets into the wound, may like
wise give rise to the disease.
The first thing to do after
any injury is to remove all
visible dirt from the wound and
then paint the same, as soon as
is possible. with tincture Of
iodine.
Scientists claim that tetanus
bacili do not enter the blood
stream as do other germs.
Rather they develop and re-
produce in the wound itself and
there manufacture poisonS
which travel up nerve strands.
Treatment of the wound itself
therefore becomes highly i'm
portant and deep wounds, with
pockets, are especially danger
Gus. Whenever necessary, there
fore, a wound should be incised
and fully opened.
After treating the wound as
above mentioned, a loose band
age, soaked in a saturated solu-
ton of boracic acid, should be
applied.
Then the patient, and with
out delay, should be taken to
a physician or to a hospital so
that a dose of anrItetanic
serum may be injected. Such
an injection constitutes the one
big hope of preventing tetanus
. and thus saving the victims's
life.
Symptoms which indicate
tetanuS infection are aches and
pains in the muscles, headaches
and general weakness. After a
time rigidity of the jaw and
neck develop. Later the typical
convulsive seizures of tetanuS
may occur. Death may be
caused by contractions of the
throat muscles or from eXhauS-
ton.

The Rhymin8
Optimist

The NameIeSs Portrait

The new librarian believes
It has hung there a full decade,
Uncatalogued, except as part
OF a collection someone made.
Now, after such a lapse of time,
There seems but little chance to
trace
For me, at once. what I desire,
The history behind that face.
And so I fashion it from these:
Stern mouth, wide brow and
honest eyes
Within whose cool, clear gaze
there dwellS
The promise of a spirit wise.
And calm and kind. Such was
the man
Who needs no record in a book;
He bares his soul 20 me, himself.
I read it in his level look.
1t may be they will never learn
His name, or where he toiled
and loved;
But no discerning heart can
come
And look upon his face,
unmoved.

That firecrackers and fire
works enhance any Fourth Of
July celebration cannot be de-
MED. Likewise is it an indiS-
putable fact that such cele-
brating carries with it the
gravest dangers of contracting
Tetanus.
Tetanus is a germ disease,
more specifically a bacillus dis
ease. Under the microscope
each bacillus looks like a cylin-
drical rod, somewhat larger at
one end than at the other.
These tetanus bacilli always
enter the body through a
wound or an abrasion Of the
skin surface, especially if the
wound be Of a lacerating or
crushing nature.
In years gone by, before so
many States passed laws for
bidding the sale Of fireworks
for the Fourth Of July, cases of
tetanus were not uncommon
among both children and
adults. CarelessneSs in hand
Ling firecrackers, especially the
larger Cannon crackers" was
largely to blame. The fire en-
gines likewise were busy on
Independence Day.
Nowadays we speak of "safe
and sane Fourth" A wise die
tum it is! Aside from blind
ness and other manning poSsi-
bilitieS that went with the old
fashioned Fourth, the contem-
plation of tetanus attacking
any Of our children was little
short of grueSome.
Tetanus usually sets in with
in 10 days after an injury.
Acute cases run a course Of
from one to 10 days and result
in death. 1t is said that j. a
patient lives until the< with
day he has the proverbial
"fifty-fifty" chance of recov-
cry. After the tenth day each
additional day that he lives
markedly increases the proba-
bility Of his getting well.

} not want dummy to block future
operations in spades, so having
won the trick with dummy's
Ace, the declarer led back the
10 of spades, and overlook with
his j. There was an opportu-
nifty for East to win with his K,
but he declined to do so, as he
held the K-9 back of declarer'S
Q-8, and had visions Of winning
two tricks in spades.
When declarer held the Sec
ond trick in spades he led his
8 of diamonds, but East refused
to cover until he had to do SO
when the 3 was led. Then
dummy won with the K, and
followed with the j. The de-
clarer let go his lowest club.
East discarded a worthless club.
The declarer had hoped that
East would discard the guard
to his K of spades, in which
case the declarer would have
won the eighth trick with one
of dummy's clubs and the ninth
with his Ace of clubs, and led
a low spade, obliging East to
lead back a heart.
It really made no difference
what East did. When he refused
to bare his K of spades, the
dummy and declarer ran off
four club tricks, then dummy
took his Ace of hearts, and East
won the thirteenth trick with
his K Of hearts. AS the cards

CHAPTER NINE
"Shall we go in then? The
lambs are waiting"
Still the girl hesitated. She
sent him a timid, ingenious
smile. She appeared to be
searching for words. At length
she said impulsively, "I know
I'm being silly but if you'd just
as soon I'd rather play against
someone else."
"Why?"
"I prefer playing against
people who play we'll. It's no
fun winning from dubs."
"wen you are philan-
thropist," grumbled the man.
Again he concealed his annoy
ance. Something in the girls
expression warned him. He
concluded sulkily, IF I hadn't
seen you play I'd think you
were too big-hearted to be any
good"
Il could come back some
other time" offered Patricia,
ignoring this. Maybe you'll
find someone else then"
"Oh, I'll find someone now"
He did. The opponents he
selected, a pale, thin man and
his sharp-eyed wife, if not ex-
pert, were certainly not lambs.
At the end of two hours OF
spirited battle Patricia was de-
lighted to be SIS ahead. Wally
Edge sighed over lost hundreds.
But he urged the girl to meet
him there the following after
noon. She agreed. She had
no doubt of her ability to keep
Wally Edge in bounds.
On the Avenue
Declining his escort, she left
the hot, smoky hotel. In the
January twilight Fifth Avenue
seemed gratefully cool and
quiet. The bridge had tired
her, after all. She walked
slowly. She thought of Phil
and Phil's violent belief that
gambling was a sin. With a
pang in her heart she remem-
bered Clark Tracy and Marthe
March. Those two had gam
bled, but that was social gam
bling. There was nothing
social about sitting in a public
hotel striving to win from
strangers. Her father had been
q professional gambler. Was
she bound for the same fate?
Had she taken the first steps
toward that career of brief
joys and lasting sorrows?
Suddenly the money in her
pocketbook seemed less desir-
able. She knew that her oppo-

Correct
Manners
Important Call
ear Mrs. Beeckman:

OGdE M1Ss oCCShAAAdAs
/. I am going to be married
very soon. Due to the fact that
my fiance and I were never for
mally engaged, our parents have
not met. We have just set the
date, and 1 would like to know
the proper procedure to follow
in order to bring about a meet
ing. Do my parents pay his
mother an informal visit? Does
my mother invite his mother to
a dinner at our home?
2. If this is the case, is it
necessary to invite the rest of
the members of his family?
BY that, I mean his sisters and
brothers his father is not
living. D.
/. Here is the correct proce-
dure about this: When your fl.
ance tells his mother about his
engagement, she should at once
come to call on you and your
mother. So strict is etiquette
on this important call that it is
supposed to be made within
"a hours after your fiance has
told her the news. If his
mother does not live near
enough to make this signifi-
cant visit to welcome you into
the family, she should write
you a letter of welcoming.
Now what to do when it is
apparent that the fiance's FAM
lily do not realize that this is
what is to be done, is a prob
lem, and your family must deal
with it as they think best and
most agreeable and gracious.
I think that probably the
best way to do is for your
mother to invite "his" mother
to come to your home, either,
say, to tea on a day set, or to
dinner, at a definite time.
2. 1t isn't necessary to invite
all of the members of the i'm
mediate family. this is just as
you like and as you find con-
venient. It's quite proper, if
you wish.
