Thot is true but beloted observation. American iso-
otonisn detected and for all proctcoI purposes
killed when Congress and both political parties for.
nolIy discovered it some months oeo.
But with the defect Of American isoIotionsm
there have appeared some disturbing tendencies to-
ward new and international sort Of solotonisn. It
is the isolotonisrn Of heads Of governments and Of
statesmen from the people whose destinies they con-
troll to great extent.
Such tendency was revealed with the forced
disclosure Of secret agreement among the Big Three
at Yolto. This agreement on Russios request for
tro votes in the world assembly controdcted the in
teNenine assurances Of our Stote Department that
there would be one vote for each notion.
Decisions and compromises on organization for
world peoce Ultimately OBJECT the people, not the
statesmen Secrecy in these decisions and compro-
misses naturally breeds suspicion among the people
that there may be other undiscIosed agreements
which could have profound and troeic effect on
their lives and fortunes.

people for the decisions thot OBJECT Them But Greet

East winning with the king. East
returned a club, South went up
with the king, cashed the seven Of
hearts and entered dummy with
a diamond to take his remaining
heart. West In the meantime had
discard trouble. He had to give
up two clubs on the two diamond
leads, and two more on the last
two hearts. Then. when Dorm
busch cashed his last two dia-

HOME NURSE
By Iona l.. TROTT
Assistant Director
Red Cross Nursing Service
Written for NEA Service

One of the minor problems in
the home care of the sick Is dam
age done to linens and bedding
by staining with medicines
blood or body discharges. Many
such stains can be prevented by
prompt and proper treatment
In treating stains with water OF
a chemical solvent, it is usual
ly advisable to stretch the article
over bowl of water and apply
the solvent to the affected area
with a medicine dropper. After
the treatment has been applied
and had q chance to take effect,
rinse the article thoroughly with
clear water to remove the chemi-
cal. If allowed to stand too long
it may weaken the fabric and
cause a hole to appear. Soap has
a tendency to fix stains.
STAIN ERADICATORS
Here are some common sick
Room stains and a method OF
treatment that is usually (al-
though not guaranteedD effect
i've.
Blood - new stain. Slightly
warm water and ammonia.
Blood-old stain. Hydrogen
peroxide.
Blood-unwashable material.
Apply paste of starch and water.
Dry in sun. Brush off paste. Re-
peat several times if necessary.
Castor oil. Alcohol, followed
by ammonia and water.
Chocolate. Apply borax and
cold water. Follow by boiling
water If material Is washable.
Iodine. Wash with soap and
water or with ammonia and
water.
Mercurochrome. New stain
clear warm water.
Tincture of Benzoin. Acetone,
ether or alcohol.
Urine. Hydrogen peroxide and
salt.
Fruit or coffee. Pour boil
ing water through the stain from
q height.
If you would save yourself
worry lest your best bedroom
furniture be damaged by alco-
hol, medicine bottles or bath
water, protect dresser and table
tops with oilcloth or thick news
paper pads. A layer of waxed
paper under the newspapers will
keep them from sticking to the
furniture and will also help to
protect against the danger OF
water soaking through.
