STRAND

Jane Ball is one actress In Holly wood who got bigger bang out of be ing kissed by Lon McCalliSter than by any other star. Jane, whose first real part is in Winged Victory" the 20th Century Fox film on the Army Air Forces now at the Strand theater, is sure that her break is coming because, besides being dl- rected by George Cukor, noted star maker, she was kissed by Lon.
 It wasn't that Lon's boyish smacks were so thrilling, but Jane is a little superstitious about them. If signs and omens have anything to do with it, once he kissed her she should soon be getting star bill ing.
 She reasons that in his last pie ture, Home In Indiana" he kissed both June Haver and Jeanne Grain and they were made stars imme- diately So now that he's kissed her in Winged Victory shes expect ing big things to happen any min ute.
 Described by one New York critic as being of the apricots and whip ped cream type" when she appeared in Let's Face It" and Panama Hattie, she is seen in Winged Vic tory,' romantically teamed with Lon McCallister.
 Selected short subjects complete the bill.

Ordinarily, a bruise will clear up in time with out special treatment.
 Bruises are actual hemorrhages under the skin, caused by the cruising of small blood vessels. with out breaking the skin, usually. Since the blood set free in this manner cannot escape, it eventually passes through chemical changes in the tissues and is slowly absorbed This escape of blood into the tissues is what caues the discoloration and selling of the injured part
 Relief from pain and prevention of discoloration to some extent may be effected by applying cold com presses or an ice bag to he bruises for an hour or so immediately after the injury.

MASSAGE GENTLY

Absorption of clotted blood from the tissues may be hastened by alternate applications of heat and cold Follow this by gentle massage of the areas surrounding the bruise not by manipulating the injured part. Carefully rub from the very edges of the injury, and always away from the bruise using firm motion on the surrounding tissues. This should not only relieve pain but tend to prevent stiffness when the arm of leg is affected.

 Neal reported that in August, 1924, "a thorough clinical and laboratory study was made on three men who each had several months of con- t:nuous exposure to DOT when used as a mist and dusting powder (for delousing). The exposure of these individuals to DOT was extremely great-more so than necessary for the work they were doing !" Neal said that "after carefully evaluating all the evidence {. we was led to the conclusion thta none of them presented definite findings that can be attributed to the toxic action of DDT."
 Danger, Neal implied, lies in the reckless use of DOT. The individual must be the judge in handling chemistry's new boon.

not particularly with main- springs"
 Smith said he himself had found that upon placing a wrist watch on a cold window sill after it had been next to body temperature all day, the watch usually stopped running but that thef handspring ordinarily did not break.
 William H. Orton, who has been in the watch repairing business 40 years, explained that main-springs were affected by weather changes because of loss of resilinecy when they lacked room for expansion. The better the resiliency of a spring, the easier it broke, he said.
 More Easily Affected
 "A watch with good resiliency in it's main-spring," Orton said, "is more likely to expand and contract when the temperature changes rap- idly because of it's fine quality. When there is no room for expan- sion, the spring breaks"

Worn Cautious Use For Public Consumption
BY JACK ROWLES

llUnited Press Staff CorrespOndent)
 New York, Aug. HEADQUARTERS end Quickened the chemical indus erys plans today for mass distribu- ki0n of DOT, the worlds most ef- 6ecttve insect killed, but medical experts warned that 1t must be used cautiously.
 pr. Paul A. Neal, senior surgeon 0fs the Industrial Hygeien Research laboratory, National Institute of Health, found that careless handling of DOT residueS--that part of DOT spray which remains when the liquid carrying agent has evaporat- ed-may cause toxic effects in hu- mans.
 Commercial Name
 DOT is a taSteless white powder. When it is dissolved in liquids to make Q spray, it assumes a con- ulercial name of the manufacturers choice. Geigy & Co.,, holders of the use patent on DOT, calls its DDT- containing spray "neocid''. Other such commercial names will become household words in the United States.
 Neal pointed out in his report, s'DDT toxicity," that DOT bears a physical resemblance. to flour and therefore "it must not be stored alongside food supplies. He said that "ingestion (eating) of massive dos es,. of DOT will be toxic (poison- clIs)."
 DOT, Neal said, should be fused under conditions which exclude the heavy contamination of food" This mean caution in spraying the new ir1secticide literally in kitchens or other food-storage place in the home.
 Normal Use Sound Neal pointed out that normal use of DOT sprays is not injurious to humans. He said contamination : of the skin from such residues as produced by the desired insecticidal concentration of DOT in air is of such low order that it will not cause injurious to humans. He said s.contamination of the skin for such residues as produced by the desired insecticidal concentration of DOT in air is of such low order that it will not cause injurious effects to humans"
 In experiments with lower animal forms, Neal found that DOT, when dissolved in oily, fatty liquids for a heavy spray, will kill mice. Death is not caused by breathing the spray, lie said, but results when mice lick their fur which is coated with the insecticide.

As proof they reported that dur ing the warm months-the season of thundershowers = their main spring business increased at least 100 per cent over the winter months.

because clocks have heavier main- springs than watches and are not affected by thunder showers.
 Another Columbus jeweler and watch repairer, Ruey Rhodes, said that sometimes delayed reaction to the weather postponed breakage of a handspring from one to 10 days after a thundershower.
 Rhodes also dismissed the wide spread belief among laymen that main-springs usually were broken by being wound too tightly. He said that most watches had safety devices which prevented excessive WindinW.
