Riot Slapper Gets
9O-Day Sentence

DETROIT-(A N Pile who
slaps will himself be slapped.
This lesson was learned last
week by the slapper, George Miller
81, (White) who was forced to stand
helpless while a judge in recorders
court slapped 80 day Jail sem
tence on him.
George didn't like being slapped
either from the expression on his
face when the penalty was an
nounced, but George it was who
slapped an injured victim during
the recent Detroit race riots while
two policemen held his arms pin
ned to his side.
George can give it, but George
can't take it.
Detective John j. Richard ar
rested Miller after photographs of
the incident had been widely Cir
culated and nationwide criticism
had fallen upon the local police
force for its ineptitude during the
disturbance.

SOMEWHERE IN NEW { UINEA
-lAP)-A native Papuan Waif is
considered to be the greatest
morale builder that r. group of
hardened American engineers have
run across in this fighting area.
He is nine year CID Omaha Coma,
who has been adopted by the
Negro unit as it official mascot
Indeed, according to the COM
manders of the outfit. SO great a
boost has the little urchir's Wit
and charm IN camp become that
his presence is officially ignored.
Omaha has his own cot, mosquito
bar, a box with his name on it.
and his own serial nEnbcr-O
(hypen 7ero) given to him by the
engineers.

to send you my worry. It's a very
queer one but nevertheless I need
your advice. 1t is this: I have a
very queer girl friend and she some
times acts as though she hard
ly wants to be around me and then
again she's sweet as any girl can
be. She told a friend of mine that
she loves me. Does she think that
I'll make a fool out of her? Please
help me in my case.
Ans: It's much more glamor-
GUS for her to be a little bit
Independent than it is to have
you take her love for granted.
Also, she is aware of your jeal-
GUS disposition and if she were
to show her affection for you
to any great extent you
would make her life miserable.

Minor Burns Can Be Treated
Quickly And Safely AT Home

face, and feet are the areas most
often involved.
DEGREE OF BURNS
Burns are classified az first de-
gree II only redness Of the skin
develops, second degree II blsters
occur in the partially injured skin,
and third degree II all layers Of the
skin are destroyed. The third de-
gree burns does not often blister,
but Is dry and leathery, and is pale
and painless, owing to the destruc-
ton Of capillaries and nerve end
ings. The depth Of skin destruction
by heat will depend on the tenn
perature Of the offending agent,
the length Of time 1t Is applied,
and the thickness Of skin In the
affected area.
Although fire Is much hotter
than boiling liquids, the latter
often produce more severe burns
through prolonged contact.
TREATMENT
Minor burns may be arbitrarily
defined as those Of first and second
degree that affect not more than
five to nine per cent Of the body
surface, or approximately the sur
face area Of one upper extremity.
They almost invariably heal within
five to u days, and are practically
never fatal. The relief Of pain Is
Of first Importance, and Is substan-
TALLY obtained by bathing the af-
fected area In cool, clean white
soap suds for 10 to Is minutes,
cleansing the skin II necessary with
soft white cotton or muslin. After
rinsing off the soap with ordinary
tar water, any one Of literally hun
dreds Of preparations (vaSeline, sui
"a or vita1nin ointments, lanolin,
etc. may be applied and covered
with @ clean bandage Of freshly
ironed muslin or other soft material.
With the dressing, the pain almost
completely disappears.
Blisters are full-grown within
"A hours, and gradually disappear
over @ period Of five TO IA days.
The many tannic acid preparations
50 widely advertised are satisfac-
tory over first-degree and mild
second degree burns where dress
ings are difficult to hold In position
Con the face, for example), or
where clean bandages are not
available.
The physician should be con.
suited particularly II the patient
Is o baby or young child, II the
burns appears to be third-degree,
or If removal Of extensive blisters
Is believed desirable to facilitate
healing, II the eyeball appears TO
be involved, or II respiratory dis
tress following burns Of the face
suggests that intense heat has been
inhaled.
