Observation-Disclosures the mail orders:
d. L., Parsons, Kas.-Checking with h c
Army and Navy, I find that the greatest real
or potential labor shortage apparently is in
the following fields: designers Of dies, tools,
machinery and Instruments; inspectors Of ma
~terials, instruments, power units, chemicals
and explosives; marine and production engi-
neers and supervisors; naval architects; and
metallurgists. The office of education says
both Kansas University and Kansas State Col
lege are participating in the 64-college pro-
gram which already has spread to IS states.
You will have 10 satisfy the engineering school
giving the courses that you are equipped either
by technical training or experience to take
up the studies you desire. Since each college
individually is a judge Of its own require
ments, I can not tell whether you are SUI
ficiently prepared for further training.
your question: Isn't the United States speed
ing up on the highways? The American Auto
mobile Associations survey for the last 10
years shows that SO states have increased
their speed limits 10 to 20 miles an hour
since 1890. Since the AAA survey was made
in groupings, 1 cannot say positively what the
average increase is, but it's close to IS m. p. h.
There are now IS states which put the respon-
sibilty Of a reasonable and proper speed on
the driver. Ten years ago there were only nine.
The automobile people consider this the most
important trend in speedlaws and some predict
the day is approaching when the entire coun-
try. will place the speed responsibility on the
driver. Although these IS states, of which yours
is one, have no maximum limits, it doesn't
mean that when driving in them you can put
the accelerator to the floor-board and leave it
there. Whenever you get the buggy rolling so
fast that it is apparent you are driving reckless
ly and endangering lives of others, you are
counting a session with the judge. Montana does

have night limits 10 m. p. h. lower than the
day limits.

The administrations informal polls
were said to have indicated that a
dozen republican senators would sup
port the measure in substantially it's
present form.
Conceding that a dozen democratic
votes would go against the bill, the
poll takers predicted that nearly so
senate members of that party would
be found supporting it. Senator Nor
ris (Ind-NebA who has not yet re-
turned to Washington for the new

Not that there's much objection

However, Congressman Summers
made his speech as a climax to a

that the whole body is either
raised or lowered in temperature
The fever treatment, which was
used at first for paresis, is now
employed in a large number Of
diseases and is very successful. A
year or two ago we reported upon
cases of general hypothermis
where the temperature of the en-
tire body is reduced fifteen or
twenty degrees. This treatment
was used in cancer and intract-
able pain of various kinds and il
is probably too early TO report
definitely on its value.
Cold Cure
A report from Boston this month
reviews the use Of cold of various
kinds in an interesting way. Doc
tors are inclined to overlook the
use of ice caps and hot water
bags, in spite Of the faith which
patients have in them. Doctors
feel that the effects are mani
tested only on the superficial skin
and cannot touch inflammatory or
disease processes deep under the
surface. As a matter Of fact, both
cold and heat applied to the sur
face penetrate several inches into
the tissues underneath and I'M
doubtedly have a decided effect in
relieving pain and in making such
changes in the circulation as to
improve infammatory conditions.
The local use Of cold has been
found beneficial in things more
serious than Inflammation and
there are reports of number Of
cases of cancer where local freez-
ing has been of great benefit. The
use Of low temperatures in cases
of inoperable cancer also is re-
ceiving attention in many clinics.
The results sometimes are aston
ishingly good Relief of pain is
one of the great benefits Of the
treatment
The induction Of general lower
ing of the body temperature also
is used in such conditions as NOR
phine addiction and the mental
disease called "schizophrenia," or
dementia praecox. 1t is used in
alcoholic addiction and has been
found to be very beneficial. But
this is an old story for we have
the report of Currie in 1903, who
says:
Old Story =
"A Gentleman Of this Island,
whose name was Weeks, a great
votary Of Bacchus, was in the
practice, from fifteen to twenty
years, of plugging into cold water
when he rose from his bottle, and
Of actually going to sleep in
THOUGHTFUL Of water. =. The effect
Of this practice was that instead
ofexperiencing debility, lassitude,
headache, and nausea, he found
himself on awakening cheerful
and refreshed, and free from all
the effects of intoxication. In the
year 1889, dining one day abroad,
he got alternately drunk and sober
three times before midnight, each
time recovering his sobriety by
lmmersing himself, and sleeping
IN cold water; and on awakening
returning to the company"
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Subscriber:-"Please tell about
the use Of calomel. How large a
dose should be taken? And should
it be followed by a dose Of milk of
magnesia?"
Answer-Calomel is a mercury
purge, which can be depended upon
to clean out the entire upper part
Of the intestines. The dose for an
adult is 4 to II grain. It is advis-
able to follow calomel after sew
eral hours with a dose Of salts
which will clean out the large in
testine and also clean out the resid-
ual calomel. Milk Of magnesia is
not generally considered strong
enough and EPSON salts probably
are better.
