Your Health
Vapors May Lead
to Irritating
inflammation

By HERMAN M. pUNDESEN. NJ. D
VAPoRS from gasoline are alb
sorbed or taken up by the lining
membrane Of the lungs, nose,
throat, stomach and bowels. These
vapors are irritating and may pro-
duce inflammation Of the lungs, or
pneumonia, or they may infame
the stomach, causing gastritis.
When the vapor gets into the
blood it acts on the brain, either
irritating or depressing the nerve
tissues. This latter effect is more
important in industry than the eff
fects on the stomach and lungs,
since smaller amounts Of the gaso-
line fumes will affect the brain.
Exposure To yapOr
Then, too, since the effects are
less noticeable, the exposure to
the vapor may be allowed to con-
tinue and severe damage may ul-
timately result. Because of expo
sure to the fumes there may be
such symptoms as dizziness, head
ache, ringing in the ears, and
faintness. If great deal Of the
fumes are inhaled, there may be
collapse and Inconsistencies.
If a person who has become I'M
conscious is removed from con-
tact with the fumes, he regains
consciousness quickly. However,
this is followed by deep sleep.
Exposure to the fumes Of gaso-
line may occur under many cir
cumstances, particularly in indus
try. 1t has happened often on ships
carrying cargoes of gasoline. Di-
rect contact of the skin with high
concentration of fumes or directly
with gasoline may lead to drying
and cracking Of the skin. Infec-
ton then readily occurs and a Sc
we're skin rash may develop.
This can be prevented by keep
ing the skin clean, and applying
a cream made up of lanolin and
olive oil to the skin of workers
who may be exposed to gasoline
or its fumes. Such A.. protective
creams may have other uses in
keeping the skin from being ex-
posed to irritating substances.
Deaths Infrequent
Deaths from exposure to gaso-
line fumes are not frequent but,
nevertheless, such exposure. Is
dangerous and every possible Safe
guard should be taken to prevent
it. In those surroundings where II
is necessary to work with gaso-
line, ventilation should receive at
tention and, if necessary, a supply
of oxygen made constantly avail
able.
Should any of the milder symp-
toms of gasoline poisoning de-
velop, a person should Immediately
get outdoors into the air.

Observations
Byrnes Must
Commute to Foreign
Minister Council

Secretary OF State James F..
Byrnes is expected 10 commute to
London from Washington during
the Council OF Foreign Ministers
in the British capital. The meet
ings are expected to last for many
weeks.
The pressure OF his work IN
Washington, including reorganiza-
ton OF the State Department and
assimilation OF Owl and CIAA.
has forced Byrnes TO enyisage
plan OF operations which he hopes
will be acceptable to the other for
-eign ministers.
He would have the various ques-
lions taken up by the government
deputies, OF which each delegation
will have one. These would go over
the intricate problems OF each
peace treaty-with Italy. Finland,
Romania, Hungary and Bulgaria
which are first on the councils
agenda.
Unsettled points would go TO the
foreign ministers to reach a form
of agreement under the Byrnes
formula. and thus Byrnes and other
ministers could commute between
London an dtheir capitals.
The formula is similar TO that
followed at Potsdam, where the
big Three" were able to reach
momentous agreements and settle
vastly complicated questions over
q long range in tire weeks OF work.
SOME OFFICIALS FORESEE
considerable difficulty in settling
the patent right questions which
have come out of the past war.
These primarily would include
atomic energy, jet propulsion, and
radar.
Undoubtedly there are others
which have not been so prominent
ly mentioned and which may not
have been developed to play the
sensational roles of these weapons.
all of which have revolutionary
postwar prospects.
Although these have been de-
veloped to the greatest perfection
in the United States. Britain has
not been hesitant in making known
prior claims to many OF them. They
assert that radar development was
far ahead OF that In the United
States since Britain, because of her
proximity TO Germany, knew that
more than visual and sound warn
ings must be had against approach
ing aircraft
The jet propulsion engine used
in Americas jet plane is claimed
to have been based on a model de-
veloped in England. although
American developers may challenge
this assertion.
Both nations have proclaimed
that 1t wac the pooling OF informa-
ton which brought about the atomic
bomb. Insofar as these inventions
were developed for wartime pur-
poses, Britain probably will charge
her contribution off to lend-lease.
But II, as seems certain, they help
revolutionize the postwar world, a
tangle of claims over royalties may
result.
LIBERALS AND CONSERVA-
TIVES are braced for a showdown
fight in the Senate and the full
employment bill which, standing
alone. is little more than a lofty
statement of policy.
Besides statements about unem-
ployment and preserving private
enterprise, the bill sets up joint
committee to study the employ
ment horizon and report to Con-
gress.
The hot issue lies in the policy
statements. They would put Con.

The insect repellent, known to
thousands of CTS in the Pacific
Africa, Sicily and Italy, as "Form-
ula, 6.12" will shortly be available
in limited quantities for farmers,
yatchsmen, sportsmen, and others
to use in insect-infested areas for
the remainder Of the season.
Insect Repellent 6-12 was orig
inally developed to protect sol
Medical officers give this material
much credit for its assistance In
the control Of malaria and other
insect borne diseases that plagued
our fighting men in advanced
areas in the Undiscovered trop-
les. It will prove equally valu-
able to farmers and sportsmen be-
cause it .repels black flies, gnats,
neas, and chiggers, as well as nui-
sance mosquitoes.
This repellent is used by apply
ing a few drops in a thin layer
either to all exposed areas Of the
skin or to the clothing where in
sects are biting through. IT does
not affect clothing and does not
injure the skin. Each application
furnishes complete protection for
several hours. \
Tests on 6-12. by Rutgers uni
versity and several Government
agencies show that the actual pro-
lection time against insects varies
with individuals and with condi-
tons. More frequent application
is usually required if the user is
active and perspiring freely. An
active, perspiring user obtains
from 2 to 4 hours protection
against mosquitoes, and an mac
tive user may obtain up to 6 hours
protection. AS a result, this new
repellent is rated as 6 to Z times
more effective than 100 per cent
citronella and it has a much more
pleasing odor, somewhat like
witch hazel.

Columbia Basin
Project Promises
Fine Outlook

Farmers in the .Columbia Basin
Project will receive a SAG, DOC, 900
gross annual income from agri-
cultural development, according
to a "Joint Investigations" report
received by the Kennewick Pub
lie Library from the U. S. Bureau
of Reclamation at Coulee Dam.
Investigators of Problem D
TYPES of Farming predict that
livestock will provide 50 per cent
of the income and irrigated crops
Al per cent, Regional Director
Frank A. Banks of Reclamation
said. He declared that if present
wartime prices had been the basis
for the Investigators estimate, the
gross annual income would be
more than doubled. The commit
tees figure is approximately the
same as the pre-war average an
nual gross cash farm income in
the entire state of Utah, or about
% per cent of the average annual
return from the State of Washing
ton for the period 1886 to 1910.
Although considerable latitude
of choice exists as to the types of
irrigation farming in which. set
tiers of the Columbia Basin area
can engage, those which combine
both crop and livestock appear
to have the best prospects for
success for most operators, the re-
port states. Dairying is expected
to be the dominant livestock en-
terprise.
The objective of this joint In
vestigations study was to determ-
inc the types Of farming best suit
ed to the project area on the basis
of figures and experience gained
from existing irrigation projects
in the Pacific Northwest where
conditions are relatively similar.
