ERADICATION OF RAT
IMPOSSIBLE NOW, is
BELIEF OF SCIENTIST

By Science Service
BERKELEY, Cal, June o.
Man might just as we'll give up
hope of completely eradicating
the rat, DR.. H. E. Hasseltine Of
the United States public health
service told scientists at the meet
here today of the American Asso-
citation for the Advancement of
Science, in discussing San Fran
cisco'S freedom from rat-borne
plague for the last quarter CEN
tury.
The best that sanitary and pub
lie health measures can do is
keep the rat within bounds, he
said. The rats remarkable pro-
life reproductive ability is ma
lures way of protecting the rat
from going the way of the dodo.
Only some better method of fight
ing rats will give scientists a
chance to wipe them out.

USE OF PRONE
PRESSURE GOOD
IN GAS CASES
Method Also May Save Life
in Electric Shock, Ex-
pert Explains.

This is the fifth and last of series
of articles by Lewis C. Robbins, director
of life saving and first aid at Camp
Kosciusko. Winona lake, on proper
treatment Of drowning persons.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1934-06-22
BY LEWIS ROBBINS

The prone pressure method of ar
tidcial respiration, described in the
four preceding articles of this Sc
ries, has three special applications.
The first of these, of course, is in
case of drowning.
The other two are gas poisoning
and electric shock. We shall con-
slider these in this concluding ar
ticle.
Gas poisoning results from breath
ing fumes given off by auto motor
exhausts, gas jets, burning coal,
buildings or similar sources. The
harmful agent in a gas is the
carbon monoxide, first cousin to the
beneficial carbon dioxide.
1t replaces the oxygen in the
blod stream and clings to the red
corpuScles with tenacity 300 times
as gerat as oxygen, making it i'm
possible for the corpuscles to per-
form their normal function of de-
lvering that life-giving element to
the body tissues.
StOppage of Breathing
AS more and more of the carbon
monoxide piles up in the blood
stream, the victim becomes nause-
ated, weak, and finally there is
complete collapse, followed by a
slow and finally a stoppage of the
breathing.
When the breathing is depressed
or stopped because of this condi-
ton, artificial respiration must be
begun Immediately and continued
until the patient breathes normally.
The inhalator is most valuable at
this time as the concentrated oxy-
gen more easily displaces the car
bon monoXide. The carbon dioXide
by stimulating breathing, hastens
this elimination. So, with the prone
pressure method, use an inhalator
if possible.
In electric shock, one of two dan
gerouS things may happen, the
breathing may be stopped or the
heart action may be impaired.
The latter condition can not be
helped, but, if only breathing is
affected, our prone pressure treat
ment perhaps will save the life. It
may be necessary to continue the
treatment for eight hours or even
more until the nervous system has
repaired itself and breathing once
more is automatic.
Respiration Is Useful
How then, can we tell whether it
is the heart or breathing that is af-
fected?
This is not easy and prone pres
sure should be applied in any case
and continued until repeated ex-
aminations by the physician prove
that further efforts are useless.
Unfortunately, even the 11O-volt
circuits in our homes sometimes can
bring about this stoppage of breath
ing or impairment of heart ac-
ton, or both.
Severe injuries may cause breath
ing to stop, as we'll as Suffocation
produced by cave-ins of sand or
dirt. In both cases the prone pres
sure method must be applied.
In conclusion, then, we will say
that In any condition that contri-
butes to or is caused by impairment
of respiration, the prone pressure
method, skillfully applied, may save
a life.

NEW FURNITURE
DISCUSSED

It is possible for people of mod

Of new style decorating. He said:

If folks Of moderate means

RADIO CONTROL
SEEN THREAT
To PRESS

CHICAGO, Oct 9 U.NS0.-The
threat to free speech and democ
racy in the event the Government
tightens its control over radio
broadcasting was suggested today
by E. H. Harris, publisher of the
Palladium.Item, Of Richmond
Ind, in an address before the Ma.
tional Advisory Council on Radio
in Education.
e Mr.. Harris, chairman of the Pub.
fishers National Radio Committee,
declared:
Gas we approach govern
mental influence in the pro-
gramming of radio brOadcaSting,
we step away from democracy
and initiative toward q planned
social order and a dictatorship.
eff we accept dictation and
domination of radio programs by
those in governmental power,
cOnceivabIy it will not be . far
step until our governmental
leaders may seek to influence
the presentation, or prevent the
presentation, Of news in our
daily press by following Europe
through diStOrting news at its
SOurce-the press associations.
PRESS THREATENED
eff we destroy the freedom Of
expression over radio, we may
soon find that radio may be
used to destroy the freedom Of
the press because of the posi-
Utilities of the tremendous emo
tiOnal appeal in radio broadcast
ing"
Mr.. Harris pointed out that the
1900 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS news
papers, the 5000 weekly news
papers, 500 magazines and the
more than 500 Independently
owned radio stations in the United
States are powerful factors in pre-
serving democracy.
Cites European System
Mr.. Harris contrasted the Gov
ernment-controlled radio broad
casting systems of Europe with
the present democratic American
system of broadcasting. He as
serted.
ut is generally known that in
more than one country of Con.
tinental Europe, the ownership
of the radio waves has passed
from the public domain, and has
been seized by small groups to
maintain themselves as masters
Of the masses. "In many coun-
tries Of Europe, the property Of
the citizens, namely, the radio
channels, have become power
full propaganda medium"
Mr.. Harris suggested that ia
forestall the Government exer
cising its power over radio pro.
grams, citizens should register
their specific protests regarding
objectional programs. These pro
tests, he said, should be for
warded in one, or all, of the
following ways: To the station
owner, to the advertiser, or to
the Federal Communications
Commission.
The publisher said that if "any
substantial number of citizens
will follow this course it will not
take long to bring about very
definite results in removing
Objectionable programs from the
air."

Henderson high schools baseball
team will open it's weeks card tomor

Vance here at League Park for the
first game between the two schools

Coach Hank Powell will probably
