Texas Oil Courses
Into New Pipeline
Ending in Illinois
FinuI Link Completed
In Conduit Built to
Ease Eost's Shortage
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NORRIS CITY, Ill. Jan. GA
stream of oil from the East Texas
oil fields is bubbling through the
worlds longest pipeline today toward
this terminus.
The final link in the S35 000,000
Texas-to- o-IllinoiS section of a line
that eventually will reach Philadel-
phia and New York was slipped into
place yesterday, six months after
construction was started to alleviate
the oil shortage in the East.
Oil pumped into the line yesterday
at Longview, Tex, will reach Norris
City the first week in February.
Until tank car loading facilities are
completed the oil will be pumped
into the pipeline network of the
Ohio Oil Co.
Capacity of the 24-inch conduit
will be 100000 barrels daily. When
the second 875-mile leg to the East
is finished the line will hold 4,000000
barrels of oil, the equivalent of one
days production by all of the wells
in the United States.
Eighty electric motors will pump
the oil eastward.
Laying the 55l mile pipeline was
one of the biggest transportation
projects of the war.

flames quickly roared into the ware
house proper. Frank Bell, a checker,
called the fire department.

Just as conferences last year re-

concerned. Last winter taught us that there
is wide gap between the comfort line and
the danger line in heating home; there was
no unreasonable increase in respiratory dis
cases. If most of us will wear warm clothes
when not actively at work, the 7O-degree
temperatures can be concentrated In the
rooms used by infants, the aged and the i'll.
As far as older children are concerned, 1t IS
more important to watch out for the wet feet,
the r1nny nose, the aching ear and fever than
to keep them in hot rooms.
3. Fatigue is major factor in increasing
susceptibility to disease, especially mental
fatigue These are days of hard work. but
every worker, including the mother at home,
should get some relaxing exercise in the open
air every day of decent weather. The day OF
rest, whenever it comes, should include
planned recreation. But the less time spent
IN crowds the better, especially during the
winter months when respiratory infections
are prevalent. And remember, full quota OF
sleep is essential for all of us.

than ever to combat communicable illness

be qiyen - until the doctor has ruled out this
possibility.
Abnormal sluggishness drowsiness or sleep
mess, if associated with fever, should cause
concern, especially in child. Such symptoms
frequently represent toxemia from an mfec-
ton. In most infectious diseases, the tempera-
ture, respiration and pulse rate rise together.
In pneumonia, respiration is disproportlon-
ately rapid. 1t is important, also, to be able
to report to the doctor anything unusual
about the excretions.
For the treatment of minor ailments and
accidents at home without recourse to the
doctor, the first rule is: Stock your medicine
cabinet with approved items only; don't load
up with patent medicines and embark on an
orpv of self-medication. 1t is dangerous to
give drugs without proper diagnoses. "Sulfa'
drugs, for example, can do great harm If
administered without professional advice
Txeati.s the Geld
HE medicine cabinet should contain only
those drugs and supplies needed for frst-ald
treatment and those prescribed by the doc
tor. You can find an adequate list OF frst-ald
items, together with detailed instructions to

cept that the prostration is greater, persists
longer and greater care should be taken to

Wartime Health Rules
HE most important thing of all, however,
which most people can do to beat the doctor
shortage is to keep themselves and their fami-
lies healthy in the first place. Many good
books have been written on the subject OF
health habits 1t is not possible to put their
substance into few paragraphs; now, of all
times, the best of these books should be read
or re-read In the meantime however, here
are some important wartime points:
1. A well-nourished family is the first bar
rier to disease. None of the food shortages we
have experienced 50 far have been detri-
mental to health; some of them have even
been helpful to people who liked to eat too
many sweets too much fat, or just too much
food. Whatever additional foods may be ra-
toned during the coming year, there Is every
prospect that we shall be able to get the calo-
ries that we need for body fuel, and the pro-
tein. vitamin and mineral totals that we need.
1t is simply matter of choosing wisely from
what is available. and cooking it properly.
Z. Warm clothing will Offset short fuel

from the age of adolescence onward make 1t
possible to detect and cure tuberculosis before
it gets firm foothold This is especially neces-
sary for young children if there has been a
case of active tuberculosis in the household.
It is easy - but unnecessary and dam
gerous - to neglect little" things in war
time. Having the teeth looked after before
minor defects cause serious trouble should
head the list of musts for the 1884 health
session. The prompt fitting of glasses as
needed will save much irritability and many
headaches. The priced shoe coupon should be
used for completely comfortable shoes. Spike
heels and short lasts cause more misery
than most organic diseases.
Its Enax0ency Insurance
I oU are always doing yourself favor when
you take good care of your health and that
of your family. Now, with so many doctors
gone to war, it is more of favor to yourself
than ever - and also to all the rest of US.
1t is insurance against situation in which
there wouldn't be doctors enough for the
emergencies.
lu UR dUS6-1lAS VI d OO|lOA, q WCAA-A oAA1A
nurse is the next best friend and adviser;
and the voluntary organizations maintaining
stats of visiting nurses are invaluable at
this time. Where visiting nurses are available
at an hourly rate, a doctor can keep in touch
with many additional patients
In addition to doing everything you can
to forestall the need of a doctor, you should
plan in advance for the time when you may
need one If your own doctor has gone into
service, or if you are in town where you
know no doctors, inquire of the local health
department, medical society or hospital as
to those available. If possible, get acquainted
with one; but call him to your house only if
it is not possible to go to his Office.
War inevitably calls for sacrifice. There
will be no more medical luxuries. But if we
apportion our medical skills where they are
most needed, if we make the best use of what
we have, share it, help one another and help
ourselves, there will be no serious deteriora-
ton in our national health.

From Arms to Farms

During the last war a question was
proposed, in music: How're You Go
ing to Keep EN- Down on the Farm,
After They've Seen Paree?" The an
swer at last may be at hand: they
may be ordered there, to relieve the
shortage of farm labor, and without
waiting for them to see Paree first.
Farmers are not sure how it will
work out. Some insist that farm
hands, like poets, are born, not made.
Others, desperate for help, will grab
eagerly any hired hands Uncle Sam
sends their way, hoping that mill
tary training will be Of some use,
and that the help will get the knack
of making early morning raids on
weeds, moving down wheat, mopplng
up stables and barns, and extermi-
mating japanese beetles.

Subcommittee Criticized
For 20 Per Cent Proposal.

To the Editor OF The Star:
If the Democratic members of the
House Ways and Means Subcommittee
cannot reach a better conclusion of its
discussion of the Ruml and other pay
as-you-go income tax plans than the
now proposed and unbearably hard 20
per cent Withholding tax, they might just
as we'll permit the people to pay their
taxes under present rules.
The people in the middle and lower
brackets here in Washington especially,
where living costs are higher than else
where, simply cannot afford to have
from $12 to SIS deducted each week from
pay envelopes. A mid-income taxpayer
with only his private or Government in
come simply could not spare that much
money.
If the subcommittee of the House Ways
and Means Committee really wants to
kill the Ruml plan or any other plan
submitted for its enlightened discussion
they can shelve it for the duration. but
to penalize the people unnecessarily in
times like these is an injustice unheard
of heretofore in the history Of this great
Republic. DEMOCRAT.

The system at Fault

The Star commented Monday on
the case of young woman, struck
by streetcar, who lay on the pave
ment for about half an hour before
a police patrol took her to the hos
pital. An ambulance reached the
scene later.
On Wednesday a man, injured in
an automobile accident, lay on the
street for almost an hour, in a drlv-
ing snow storm, waiting for an am
bulance. Unable to get one, the po-
lice removed him in patrol car.
In this sort of delay the police rec
ords and the hospital records seldom
agree as to the time calls we're made
or received and plenty of alibis seem
available 1t becomes almost futile
to fix responsibility. What such in
cidents mainly reflect however, is
a deplorable lack of an effective sys-
tenn for summoning and sending am
balances in emergency cases. Com

In the meantime, the Police De-
partment has prepared new memo
randum of instructions to police
officers for procedure in case of &C
cident. Calls received by the radio
dispatcher are to be transmitted on
the air Immediately and the hospital
in the area involved is to be notified.
In each precinct there is a scout car,
equipped as an ambulance, which is
supposed to pick up the radio signal
and proceed to the scene, to stand by
in case hospital ambulance fails to
arrive within a reasonable time
This new method is an improve
ment. But the summons of an
ambulance will be incomplete unless
1t is definitely acknowledged by word
