HOW TO KEEP WELL

New studies in the effectiveness Of
the anti-tetanus serum in the treatment
of acute tetanus-the dreaded ''lockiaw"
have shown concclusively that it is very
much easier to prevent the disease than
it is to cure it.
Today;s bulletin from physicians of
the Minnesota State Medical association
calls attention to gardeners in par
ticular who will soon be digging around
in freshly fertilized soil in which the
tetanus germ is constantly present. of
the importance Of looking after
puncture wounds Immediately, especially
when dirt and foreign bodies may be
thrust deep into the tissues.
These are the wounds that made
ideal soil for the development of
tetanus poison, according to the bulle-

tin. The tetanus germ is an "anaerobe"
that is, it grows only in the absence of
oxygen and thrives in deep airless
wounds made up Of narcotic or un-
healthy tissue. Thus it requires a
damaged tissue of deep wound caused
by foreign body in which to manufac-
ture its poisons.
Every puncture wound should be re-
ported to a doctor so that anti-tetanus
serum can be given before any symp-
toms of tetanus poisoning have de-
veloped.
Lockjaw may appear in less than five
days or after ten days or longer. To
be safe, the serum should be admins
tered Immediately.

tetanus serum is not surpassed in ef-

bulletin. For proof, its effectiveness
in preventing lockjaw among soldiers
in the World War IS cited. As a treat

less effective and the morality from

The thing that surprises me most
about the modern driving is this: All
the manufacturers are busy designing
automobiles as mechanically safe as
possible. Late developments have
brought in safety glass, four wheel
brakes, and other numerous safety
features. But automobile dealers sell
them to every human being that can
afford to buy one
No effort is made apparently TO make
the individual as safe as possible No
examinations are made as to his mental
condition No examination is made as
to his eyes and hearing. Should not
these factors be just as important in
the driving of an automobile as the
automobile itself?
Expert driving is term that is often
abused. Some drivers believe they are
experts when they can cut their way
across lines of traffic, run against the
warning conveyed by signs or traffic
lights and turn corners on two wheels.
The individuals should be tested also
before they are allowed to drive.

The big reason for such preference Is plainly
shown at the right. Chevrolet has so many

Trials and tribulations of a Washington secretary were des- cribed by Frank Sullivan in a talk to.,members Of the Lions club at d meeting today at the Elton.

son and Mrs Stoll were in each others confidence all the time"
 Despite the story given by Mrs Robinson to her attorney, Harold Nathan, department of justice in- vestigator, insisted that she was guilty of complicity. Mrs Stoll has pleaded that the woman be dealt with leniently.
 May Join Gangland
 Harold Nathan, department of justice investigator, said that unless Robinson has found haven of re- fuge with gangland his arrest would be a matter of "only short time." ~,
 "The hoodlums will harbor him just as long as his money holds out" he said. ''He wouldn't have to look for them; they'll hunt him out"
 Although the government is in possession of the serial numbers of the ransom bills the chances of trapping Robinson by that means were hampered because the num- bers do not run consecutively, Nathan disclosed.
 Underworld haunts in Chicago and Indianapolis were known to be under surveillance by federal men in the belief that Robinson might seek refuge, there.
 Meanwhile, Mrs Robinson plead ed with jail officials to allow her to see her three-year-old son, James, and her mother. The re- quest will be granted.
 Smokes Many Cigarets
 Mrs Robinson, described by Mrs Stoll as "the woman who saved my life," was extremely nervous and smoked many cigarets in her cell.
 She sent a note to Jailer Corners to-day asking that she be allowed to talk with an attorney at once. She suggested prominent Louis- vile lawyer.
 The request was turned over 10 United States District Attorney Thomas J. Sparks, who has an- nounced that he will demand the death penalty for Robinson and "a stiff term of years for Mrs Rob- inson and the fugitive's father, Thomas H. Robinson, Sr., bridge contractor of Nashville, Tenn. The elder Robinson, intermedi- ary for payment of the ransom, is under arrest in Nashville and Sparks said that efforts would be made to-day to extradite him.
 A special federal grand jury will be called this week to take up the charges against the three Robin sons, Sparks added. ''

Washington Oct 1S-Financial houses throughout the country are displaying an increased. eagerness to extend credits for property im- provement, 1t is disclosed in en- couraging reports to Federal Hous- ing Administrator James A. Mof- fett.
 Bankers in widely scattered com munities, selected at random from a large number of those writing the Administrator, declare that thhy see in modernization loans a highly profitable business with wide- spread benefits to every element in the community. The rate at which loans are being advanced shows a steady acceleration and banks are now actively campaigning to secure the patronage.
 V. J. Alexander, president, Union Planters National Bank and Trust < Co.,, Memphis, Tenn, with resources of $47,309,332 in a city with a pop ulation of 250,000 says:
 Says Loans Advantageous
 'It is the measured opinion of {. the officers of this bank that from every andpoint-public interest. home owners interests and the banks own interests-loans for modernization are distinctly ad- vantageous. There is no question about it-real recovery cannot come until the building trades and building material trades re- gain something like normal em- ployment:"
 He said that the activity of the modernization campaign is causing people to inspect their property and a majority have found repairs, or modernization necessary. As a re- suit he estimates that for every job being done through modernization loans two or three are being done from the owners own funds or on shortstime loans.
 William L. Gillespie. President of tho Commercial Bank and Trust CO. Albany, N. Y, with resources of $5S,S9S,241 in a city of 130,000 population makes a similar en- couraging report. He says that his bank has been put to no additional expense in making the loans and that 1t has developed into an att tractive business, His bank is mak- ing loans at steady increasing rate.
 II have every reason to believe that the banks of New York state will cooperate fully in carrying out the spirit and the letter of this act in furnishing aid to home owners, he concludes.
