Hypodernic Care,
For Sprains Speeds
Recovery
Novocoine injections
Bring Recovery Within
Three Days, Is Report
BY HOWARD w. BLAKESLEE.
Associated Press Science Editor.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. ia quick
hypodermic cure for sprained ankles
and knees was reported today to the
American College Of Surgeons.
Novocaine is injected close to the
site Of the sprain. 1t relieves the
pain Of moving the joint and at the
same time helps injured tissues to
recover quickly.
The sprained part is bandaged
tightly and, instead of being ordered
to bed to rest, the patient is told to
get up and walk around. Where the
hypodermic treatment succeeds, the
sprains apparently get we'll in two
or three days in cases when the
ankle or knee could not be used for
two weeks by the ordinary conserva-
tive treatments.
Majority Quickly Recovered.
In Is Of these sprains, reported at
the hospital Of the University of
Pennsylvania, all but two or three
recovered speedily
The new treatment is apparently
useful for the large class of sprains
where ligaments are not torn, but
only stretched and loosened. The
fact that there may be some hem
orrhage about the sprain, with rain
bow colors in the swelling, does not
prevent the shots" from giving
speedy relief.
Surgeons who discussed this treat
ment said that if ligaments are torn
they prefer the old rest treatment.
The use of novacaine for sprains
originated In France. It has been
given years trial at the University
Of Pennsylvania hospital.
Use Of Motion Pictures.
The college called attention to
the growing use Of motion pictures
in medicine by giving It's approval
to 420 medical pictures. OF these
n were made for laymen, with pic
lures ranging from the Life Of Louis
Pasteur" to after-care of infantile
paralysis.
The other pictures were profess

Col. Roosevelt Urges
Retention Of EMBARGO
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Oct. 17.--Col. Theo-
dore Roosevelt. son OF the former
President, last night urged that
Congress maintain the arms en-
barge, asserting adoption Of the ad-
ministration's cash-and-carry plan
would be moving one step toward
being involved ourselves"
In a speech prepared for radio de-
livery, he added the one mission
Of the United States was to "de-
fend our American democracy"
A considerable group, he remarked,
was declaring against participation
in war but expressing the belief that
nevertheless this country will be
dragged in"-and this notion, Col.
Roosevelt said, "is trash"
Speaking Of cash and carry, he
said:
I'VE as a country will be geared
up to furnish the munitions. Soon
we will find that the nations buy
ing munitions owe us q very large
sum Of money, and we will be told
that the only way to make good our
debt Is to help them further"

Neutrality
Continued From First Page.)

of the drastic prohibition against
shipment OF goods in American
merchant vessels. They hope to
work out a compromise which will
be satisfactory to Senators who have
been aroused over the proposed re-
moval of a large part of the mer-
chant marine from its present op-
erations.
Advocated Powerful Navy.
Senator Walsh told the Senate he
always had advocated q powerful
Navy to keep this country at peace
and not for aggression.
Devoted as I am to the cause Of
our national defense" he said, "a
neutrality policy which Is sincere,
unwavering and just is an equally
vital co-relative to the preservation
of peace and domestic tranquility.
The Navy Is a physical force operat-
ing in physical field. Neutrality is
state Of mind, 1t operates for peace
or war through mental channels. A
neutrality that is honest removes
animosities and hostilities. A neu-
trality that is merely q pretense, the
use of name, creates q distrust and
enmity."
Senator Walsh said the only safe
choice in maintaining neutrality Is
not to commit this country to one
side or the other.
pretended neutrality" he said, "is
like the toadstool that in shape and
color appears like the mushroom, but
hidden in its fibers Is the very es-
sence Of a death poison"
More Importance on. Trade.
The present Neutrality Act, the
Massachusetts, Senator continued,
was based on purpose to avoid
participation in foreign wars. He
suggested that those who seek repeal
are placing more Importance on our
trade than on policy Of absolute
neutrality"
1--WE who are against repeal are
primarily opposed now to a parade
Of war weapons from America to
Europe because we never again want
to witness the parade Of dying and
manned American youths that
emerged from the World War;" he
said.
Senator Walsh said that because
of its physical security the United
States is almost alone among the
world powers able to keep itself free
from inducements to Join its foreign
policy to that of any other nation.
The sole question before Congress
when it enacted the present neu-
trality law was to determine in ad-
vance what would best preserve
peace for this country, he continued
adding:
Because a war crisis in Europe
has actually developed it is now
proposed that we repeal the meas
ures heretofore made to resist our
involvement. The issue is, shall we
now, because war has broken out
in Europe, change a thou shalt not
policy Of selling arms and munitions
of war to policy Of thou shalt'?'
Repeal Would Be Tragic.
Senator Walsh said the argument
Is made by supporters Of repeal
that "it will help our friends" He
said he realized that by opening
American airplane and munition
factories to belligerents I'VE will
thereby help one side to a quick and
perhaps total defeat of its enemy.

Selected Poem
THE MASTER PAINTER
(By Myra P. Ellis in the Boston Pos

(By Myra P. Ellis in the Boston Pos) The Master Painter lifted up His brush And OCT my soul there fell mighty hush,
 A deep expectancy. Across the Sky He drew the sunsets gold It seemed my heart could never learn to hold
 Such ecstasy. The mighty cliffs met an Almighty Hand And meath the touch stood like band
 Upon the sea. The strength of love, the green of memories, Spread like glory OCT the waiting trees
 Of forestry. The opalescent colors of unrest, He brushed across the seas quiesecnt breast
 And set it free With lavish hand He laid the colors on And made for me a sunset and dawn
 Of radancy. The Master Painter has no special place, No costly, golden arch of creed or race,
 For beautys frame; The mountain-top that melts into the sky, A babys face, a rose, butterfly,
 All bear His name.

Life - Longer and Better

The average wage-earner now has req son to believe he will, with luck, live to be nearly 62. That estimate of life ex- pectancy at birth, established for 1888 by the Metropolitan Life Insurance Com- pany, is the highest ever recorded. It applies to the country's policy-holders, but the general expectancy is if anything little higher. Back in 1911, when such figures first began to be kept, the average life expectancy on this scale was only 46.63 years. So the improvement in the average mans chance for long life is certainly marked
 What we need now is not so much to make life longer as to make it better. And just as the improved long-life ex- pectarcy has been achieved by steady work on matters of public health and improved diet and living conditions, so the job of making life better as we'll as longer will be long one. Its successes are made up of the sum total of many little social advances. Shorter working hours here, better recreation facilities there, a war prevented, disease con- quered - little by little we inch forward toward better as well as longer life.

Science on the Scent

Now they're photographing the taste of cheese. This mysterious entity to which we are accustomed to refer unana- lytically as Science" has done 1t again. Out at Urbana, H., Dr. s. L. Tuckey has been awarded $1,000 and gold medal for this unusually candid bit of photog- raphy It seems that the taste of cheese is due to the breaking up of its proteins into amino acids X-ray diffraction photos show the shadows of masses of protein atoms, whose arrangement indi- cates the taste.
 All this is of great value to dairymen, but the ordinary cheese-lover is probably not yet at point where he can gaze at a cloudy X-ray plate, smack his lips, and murmur "M-m-m-m! That's the best bit of Gorgonzola ever tasted!" And yet, so dizzy are the peaks scaled daily by Science, that we may yet come to this, who knows?

DANBURYs PROGRESSIVE STEP
(Hartford Times)

There is scarcely any city in which providing accommodations for the parking of automobiles is not one of the most pressing problems. Streets do not afford adequate storage space. Shoppers and others cruise about, vainly looking for places to leave their cars. Usually their only re- course is parking lot, requiring the payment of fee.
 Danbury has tackled this problem and apparently feels that it has ar- rived at measurable degree of so- lution. At any rate 1t boasts that it has provided free parking space in its immediate business area on Q scale "unequaled in other Connecti- cut cities" and not surpassed any, where in the nation. At least that is the claim of the Danbury News Times.
 The parking field lies directly in the rear of the towns Main street. Buildings have been torn down to increase its size and to make en- trance and exit easy. Ramps have been built and the ground has been oiled to keep down the dust.
 The business men of Danbury themselves have provided this con- venience. presumably as means of increasing their own businesses, for the work was done by the Danbury Business Mems association. Very likely they win profit by it. It would not be surprising if Danbury came to be pointed to as a community which has gone much further than most others in solving one of the
 most prsEsing of modern problems. Merchants in other elites may cone

He'll Lead The Fight

When Democrats take to the field next year for the 1940 campaign it will be assuring to Connecticut Democrats to know that Senator Francis T. Maloney will be in the thick of the fight Not only will the senior senator from the state be seeking to return his party to power throughout Connecticut, but he will also be seeking reelection. Fears that he might not run again for office were defi- nitely sidetracked the other day when he let it be known that he would be in the thick of the fight to remain at Wash ington.
 On the basis of his six-year record as a senator there is every reason to believe that he will be successful in being elected in 194O. We don't think the question of his securing the nomination is serious one. It would be almost foolhardy on the part of any Democrat in the state to attempt to wrest the senatorial nomina- ton from the Meriden man and then be elected. Even if Senator Maloney could be deprived of the nomination, which is most unlikely, the successful opponent would find the ranks split against him.
 Of course the 1940 campaign is months away, but with the close of the 1889 con- Rressional session right at hand, the fore most topic among Washington legislators now Is -1040 with it's presidential hopes and aspirations, plus the future of the pemocratic Party in national politics.
