Detroit for the last 10 years, or since
the establishment Of the Trafnc
Court, did not always prevail.
In the years before its establiah-
ment, trafac cases were tried by
Judges who served In rotation. Is
is the present situation In Police
Court here.
The police had no trained men
detailed to accident prevention work
and as q result relatively few guilty
drivers were punished.
A shocking accident in 1927, In
which Z drunken driver ploughed
through . safety zone and killed
three women, aroused the Detroit
populace to the tyaf1c fatality prob
lem and led directly to the estab-
Nshment Of the Trafnc Court.
A few years later, q wave Of fatal

Of the Accident Prevention Bureau.

A planetarium, in which those
Washingtonians to whom the night
sky is an interesting mystery could
learn how the wheels 60 around in
the universe, has been sought for
years by amateur astronomers here,
but Stephen Macy, president of the
National Capital Amateur Astron-
omers' Association, has provided q
substitute to be used while the cam
paign is continued.
The large wooden box which Mr..
Macy carries by q handle contains
his portable planetarium, or orrery,
which he uses to demonstrate the
movements Of planets and make
more easily understandable to the
uninitiated the reasons for day and
night, eclipse and other phases of
the cosmic scheme.
The device consists of q series of
black metal discs on the edges OF
which are mounted spheres repre-
senting the various planets. The
discs are of different sizes, and, as
they are turned, the little planets"
on the edges move in their orbits
about the SUM- tiny flashlight

The makers ingenuity is evidenced
further by the earth's single moon

are attached to small discs 50 that

Seven Hundred Hernia Patients
 A physician who has had out- standing success in the ambulant treatment of hernia has given TOO patients 10000 injections. Many Of the patients had double or hilateral herniaS. ~
 They were no serious conSequen- ces, and no deaths The final re- suits compare favorably with the final results of the standard hernia operation in hospital. The ambulant or injection meth- cd is being employed more general ly by industrial corporations and insurance carriers, but they usually stipulate that the treatment must be administered by one experienced in the technique, which they know is more difficult than operation.
 As have tried to indicate on other occasions, a good many doc- tors have attempted to give ambul- ant or injection treatment for her. mia without having had proper in- struction in the technique by an ex- perienced man.. That fault in the doctor is too often ascribed to the method.
 The physician who has treated 700 patients uses simple solutions, not solutions containing tannic or gall lis acid, and the injections cause no pain or discomfort.
 He says that failure to cure in many instances is due to faulty truss. The ordinary truss is not suitable for the patient receiving injection treatment, because it does not keep the hernia reduced inside of the internal ring.
 To accomplish this it is better to use a soft rubbed cushion pad two inches thick. Tn addition in many cases one shuld use a three or four inch square of sponge rubber one inch thick. This is a necessity in obese patients who must also re- duce while receiving injection treat ments. Here 1t is of interest to note that some surgical clinics now re- quire hernia patients to wear truss for many months following opera tion.
 One of the gratuitous objections raised against the modern method by dinky little surgeons who fear their prestige may be threatened is that it is such a nuisance to have to wear truss for months and months, as patients receiving the injection treatment have to do. On the other hand, it is nice to be alive, isn't it? I have yet to learn of fatality from injection treat ment of hernia. I cited here the other day 25 operative deaths among 1,092 patients who received

Handsome draperies-and clever too! With this novel arrangement of valance and cascdae you can give a distinguished double window ef- feet to pair of ordinary windows.
 The making is simple. You need n't line these draperies, though for a rich appearance it's best ot choose one of the heavier fabrics.
 Beautiful and inexpensive are gold rayon damask, apricot sateen-and for either you could use a brown fringe trimming.
 As for the valanceS and cascades, you turn them out in a jiffy. For each set, cut rectangular strip of fabric into two triangles as the diagram shows.
 Use one triangle for valance. sewing fringe to the two shorter sides and tacking long edge to va lance board. The other triangle is a cascade and you hem the shorter sides, sew fringe to the longest. Then pleat the cascade, haste, press, add tassel and tack to valance board. $
 So side draperies will trail grace fully, allow few extra inches at the bottoms. For rich folds, make pinch pleats. Easy with directionsl

 QUESTIONS and ANSWERS
 Ivy Poisoning
 Excellent results have been ob- tained in treatment of ivy poisoning by applying as hot as can be borne the water in which sweet fern has been steeped. Crumble the leaves and small twigS, cover with water, let steep for while, strain and apply hot. Frequent applications have shown remarkable results in 24 to 36 hours" (A.J.B.)
 AnsWer-Thank you. Sweet fern is common wild shrub in the east, having fernlike leaves, sometimes called ferngale or ineadow.fefn. It contains tannin, is therefore some what aStringent. It can at least do no harm when thus applied to ivy dermatitis. Other remedies given in monograph on Ivy Poisoning available on request if you inclose stamped envelope bearing your ad- dress.
 How Long a Typhoid Carrier?
 If person had typhoid fever nineteen years ago is she likely to show up as a typhoid carrier after all these years? (Mrs. M.J.R.)
 Auswer-In some instances per- sons are still typhoid carriers thirty years after the original attack of typhoid fever. Plain soap and water cleanliness on the part of the carrier will prevent infection, provided the carrier does not handle foods which will be consumed by persons not immunized against typhoid.
 Sinus Trouble
 I would like to know the remedy you recommended for sinus trouble, in your column last March or April Thank you in advance. CMiss J.B0
 Answer-Repeat your request. and incloSe stamped envelope bearing your address. You will receive copies of two pamphlets, one on The Cal cium Shortage" the other Relief. for Allergy" - remedies for sinus trouble" are given in both.
