Highway Safety Device
Warns of Curve Danger

When Douglas L. Stemple, Green
ough, Mont, was snowbound in q
mountain cabin for three weeks, he
had a lot of time to think about q
near-accident he had on a highway
curve.
As a result, the nations highways
may be made safer by means Of q
signal system to warn motorists Of
approaching cars on blind curves
which he invented during his en-
forced idleness.
The device, which works much like
a railroad block signal, is receiving
experimental tests by the Montana
highway department on Mcdonald
pass, west of Helena.
D. A. McKinnon, Montana state
highway engineer, has described
Stemple'S invention as IAN impor-
tant contribution to highway safety"
The signal system works like this:
A thin rubber hose is placed across
the highway well back from the blind
curve. When an automobile passes
over ii, a red warning signal flashes
at the other end Of the curve, warn
ing other motorists that another ma
chine is approaching.
It Is estimated the devices would
cost about 500 each. Highway Of
ficials said they also could be used
on hills.

LincoIn's Inn Chanel

In England's more retiring and

places is Lincoln's Inn chapel,
flanked on one side by its Fifteenth
century gateway, and guarded on
the other by the more modern build
ings Of the inn. Austere in appear

Barometric Pressure
Affects Mans Health

Your general well-being as well
as the weather may be signalized
by the barometer, according to DR..
william F. Petersen, pathologist and
bacteriologist at the University OF
Illinois.
The next time you feel a crouch
coming on consult the barometer.
1t is ten to one, says DR.. Petersen,
that the barometric pressure will be
going up.
The doctor asserted that air pres
sure plays an important role in
health. Sudden death and even
spring fever are some of its effects,
he commended.
Pain in an abscesSed tooth may
be caused in some degree by high
atmospheric pressure; the ability Of
an athlete to perspire and the tone
of his muscles vary with the air
pressure; the nervous, mental and
even digestive systems react to the
stimulus Of air pressure.
In normal persons, DR.. Petersen
said, high barometric pressure in
creases the blood pressure and you
feel full Of pep. However, when the
pressure makes the blood sluggish
the effect is to put you in the dumps.
Changes in atmospheric pressure
work the hardest suffering on the
young, old and sick. Ordinarily
healthy persons, the doctor ex-
planned, can readily adjust their
bodies to outside influences.
DR.. Petersen said that changes In
the barometer should serve as a
warning to physicians to be especial
ly watchful over their patients.
On the basis Of a survey the doc
tor concluded that the death rate Is
in direct proportion to the ups and
downs Of the atmospheric pressure.
Sudden increases or decreases in the
pressure, he declared, often will
show an adverse effect on patients
who appeared to be on the road
to recovery and sometimes the shock
Is so great it causes death.

can to bring about a change in him
without his realizing it. This af-
fair is only a temporary thing.
NJ. B. S.: Am / right in my
opinion that a certain girl, one
night some months ago, had a date
with my husband in our garage,
while l was at the hairdressers?
Ans: She wasn't dating your
husband on this particular night
although he was aware that
some other young man and she
were together. Your husband
wasn't guilty the girl doesn't
mean anything at all to him and
it seems to me that she is married
now and terribly wrapped up in her
husband.
G. H. c.: Is it advisable for me
to make the trip to Colorado that
l am contemplating?
Ans: No, you had better not
go if you still intend to go with
the person who asked you some
few weeks ago. This man doesn't
have the money to make this trip
and carry you, too neither is
he free from the woman he is with.
If you want to go =. go alone.
H. W. A: Ny husband is good
to me but he drinks twice a week.
On these days he fuses at me and
tells everyone all our business.
Can't even tell him a secret. Tell
me if should leave him, as he is
getting so Disguised that l can
hardly stand him. ~
Ans: Stick to him, as you really
don't have a legitimate complaint
other than his drinking. l suggest
that you be a little more sOciable
while he is drinking don't show
your disgust for whiskey. Try to
keep him with you and don't en-
courage visitors. Take him out if
you like, but be as attentive as
possible while he is drinking and
he will do better himself.

Tournament News
Speaking of the glamorous look

are seen at our various dances
around town, no one can deny that
these same folks look just as chic
and smart in sports attire. &.
NINA SALTERS won first prize
for the best dressed woman golfer
at the golf tournament given at
Theodore Wirth Golf Course last
week. Didn't MARGARET
SLEMMONS look cute in that blue
slack suit with a sporty cap worn
on one side of her head? The
JOHN WILLIAMS looked too
smart for words. They're a SPLEEN
did looking couple, anyway, aren't
they? FLORENCE WARD
and her attractive mother both
made a very striking appearance
in their sport outfits, which were
set off by tailored red jackets. E.
BOB MARSHALL was there a
counting WANDA LEE McHEN-
RY, who halls from Duluth. E.
Speaking of "Duluthians" who
came down for the tournament, did
you notice STEVE SIMMONS,
DICK TRAVIS and this JONES
boy, who were stirring up quite a
breeze among the set of femmes
present? Attractive DINTY
PITTS also just arrived in town
from Canada and made her appear
ance at the tournament. .. BOYD
WRIGHT, who just returned from
down Georgia way, was giving
BILLIE RITA RHODES the glad
eye. Billie looked stunning in
that red slack suit, didn't she?
RAY WRIGHT can really play
golf. He came out with flying col
ors, winning the first prize. i
LORRAINE HORRIS was there
looking as charming as ever. i
MRS. ORA REED, MRS. JOSE
PHINE MURRAY and MRS. D.
INGRAM all were tops among the
women golfers. Was that the
coincidence prize that RICHARD
ADAMS won? REV. C. F.
STEWART, HEZEKIAH ALLEN,
CLYDE JOHNSON, DUKE COR
UNI and SAM REED were among
the Bobby Jones'" of the male
entries. The good Reverend played
on Saturday. CLARENCE and
PEARL MCKINNEY are a cute

NJ. A. D.: Could 1 get anything
much for my piano if 1 try to sci
it, and is it the thing to do? Viii
my husband get steady work?
Ans: The Piano wouldn't bring
THIRTY DOLLARS. Although the
money means more to you than the
Piano, and since it isn't in use,
there is no advantage in wanting
to keep it. Your husband will re-
main on the WPA for several more
months, but he should be trying TO
get regular employment with a fu-
ture. He will make a contact if he
continues to try.
G. R. H.: My daughter is work
ing to get means to start to high
school. Is there any danger of her
being mistreated by certain per-
son where she works?
Ans: Talk to your daughter
and explain the paths of life
do so very plainly so there will be
no doubt in her mind. If she I'M
derstands, she will not make a mis-
take. l see no reason at all to
worry about her and this person,
C. C.
NJ. K. H.: For the past few
years have been in business and
had pretty good success. 1 have
tried several different things to
make a better business out of il
and wonder if 1 ever will?
Ans: Your business isn't the
type that will make you rich
but you can expect a reasonable
profit from same. 1t is my sug-
gestiOn that you improve your
building to some extent and make
the place more attractive spe.
cialize in some particular thing
