HOME NURSE

Written for NEA service
One thing that marks a home
nurse as an expert is her abil-
ity to use whatever is at hand
10 make her patient comforta-
BILE.
Perhaps there is an injured
foot or leg that cannot bear the
weight Of covers.
She searches the basement for
a lightweight wooden box or a
firm pasteboard carton and
knocks out two sides to make a
simple device that will protect
the sensitive part. She cleans
the box thoroughly and covers
it with old muslin, then she in
verts it, underneath the bed
clothes, over the injured mem
Der. Or she takes one of the
leaves to the dining table and
stands it on edge between the
mattress and the foot of the bed,
with the bed covers arranged
over it.
II the weather is cool SO that
a drafty air space is left in the
bed, she uses an old flannel
shirt, or baby blanket to place
next TO her patients skin, or
lacking a hot-water bottle she
fills a fruit jar with hot water,
taking care that the rubber cap
is leak proof and that the jar is
we'll wrapped to prevent the
possibility of burning.
DEVISE HAMMOCK
Perhaps she is about to re-
move the lap table (made from
another box with the ends
knocked out) and she notices
that the patient has slipped
down in bed. She meets that Sit
uation by making a hammock to
hold him up where he belongs
All she requires for this is d
pillow diagonally on q sheet.
She folds the. sheet cornerwise,
enclosing the pillow, then twists
the ends of the sheet to hold the
pillow in place. She arranges
the pillow under the patients
thighs and ties the ends of the
hammock to the head or sides
of the bed.
Back rests, foot stools, pres
sure ring, lap tables, newspaper
bags for waste there is no
end to the equipment the home
nurse can improvise from odds
and ends for her patients COM

There was quite feud over
the challenge" Ely Culbertson
resigned from the Knickerbock-
er Whist Club in protest.
Here Is an example OF how
the challenge" was used:
South has made a fairly weak
opening bid. Now if West dou-
bles, under our present conven-
tons that would be demanding
East to make a bid. But under
Reith's plan, if West wanted his
partner to bid, he could say II
challenge" in which case East
would respond with q bid; or.
if he felt his hand was strong
enough to, he could change the
challenge into a double.
But in today's hand West
would double because his side
is not vulnerable and he feels
ne can defeat South's contract.
Therefore, although East had
fairly weak hand, he knows that
he is safe in passing as his part
ner has told him he thinks he
can defeat the contract.
You can see that after cashing
three diamonds and shifting to
club, the best declarer can do
is take four tricks, thereby 60
ing down three for q loss of 800.

ATOMS AND MEN

Thew are sowing now thot the power Of the atomic
bomb Is 50 terrible that men will no longer dore to
wooe war; That would be comforting to believe. But
thew were sowing the same thing about the bomber
oirpIone only seven years ago. They probably made
the same prediction when gunpowder was first used
in battle.
The foct remains that no weapon, however ter
rble, has ever curbed wor-moking. And some OF the
best human minds down through the centuries have
devoted much Of their talent and energy to creating
more elaborate and efficient methods Of bringing
quick and widespread death to their brothers.
Now the scientists Of America, in q fontostic
race with the scientists Of their enemies, have per-
fected the most horrifyne agent OF death the world
hos ever known In doing SO they have Probed onoth-
err secret Of the universe. They have taken the mo-
tvotine energy Of life upon this planet ond without
being able to explain it, have hornessed ond used it,
The explosion Of the first atomic bomb was no
more shotterino than the announcement OF ITS ex-
istence. The employment Of atomic energy, surely
one of the great scientific achievements Of all tne
promises incoIcuobIe changes in history and human
life Yet is man reody to be trusted with me rrut
of his own scientific wisdom?
His record to date is not good Too often the
great scientific leader hos been followed by stupid
men and vicious men who have cheopened and per-
vered the gift Of his discoveries 1t might be better
If men would devote their energies for few years
to roisino their moral and ethical stature to the point
where they could employ their present scientific 3D.

1t may be right, by the rules Of war, for US to

done with this new weapon in the future?

God 1t might be we'll if they kept that secret and
guarded It with desperate vigilance until the rest Of
the world has shown itself fit to share it.
1t is more important that the United Nations
Organization prevent future than that we run
our ships and oirpIones by atomic energy instead Of
steam and gasoline. 1t is important thot the
world keep the peace through sincere desire and
friendly effort than through fear Of another wars
destruction. For the effort, though yet hon.
estIy made, is the worlds only hope. And the fear
has never prevented war; and never will.

He was most shocked at the

He was most shocked at the
way high-ranking Navy and Ar
my officers were treated so in
differently by the man in the
street as they went about their
daily business.
His NOSE oft-repeated story is
about the vice admiral who was
riding to town on the 18th street
bus. He was amazed to see such
a dignitary use the common car
rier In the first place. The bus
was crowded and the vice ad-
miral was herded in the near
like the rest. He grabbed the
handle on a seat which was &C.
cupied by two apprentice sea-
men. They paid scant attention
to him and remained seated. The
Russian was more surprised that
the admiral didn't appear to
mind standing.
The payroll came when the
admiral wanted to get off. The
bus had stopped at a corner
which apparently was his des-
tination and he started pulling
the buzzer cord vigorously. The
bus driver paid no attention.
The cord got several more snap
py tugs.
That did it to the driver. He
hunched himself up from his
seat, looked around deliberately
and said in loud, good-natured
voice:
You're not on a ship, sailor!
Pullin' that cord won't get you
off. III leave you off at the reg
ular bus stop which is in the
middle of the next block, and
not before"
Everybody on the bus laughed,
including the chastised admiral.
HOW TO GET A HOTEL
ROOM
THE one incident the beWild-
cred Russian could never figure
out happened while he was
standing next to the desk of one
this city's swankiest hotels. 1t
was Saturday afternoon. A port
~ colonel hustled up to the
young woman clerk and politely
informed her he would like to
have a room. When she found
cut he didn't have a reservation
she said she was sorry but moth
ing was available. He clustered
but she interrupted with curt
repeat of what she had said and
turned away.
The colonel had been gone
hardly a second when young
Marine officer candidate from
Quantico breezed up.
"Listern, baby, this Is import
ant; I've gotto have a room. How
about it,"
The girl smiled and said she'd
check to see if there were any
cancellations and returned with
double on the 10th floor.

there longer than he had, ex-
piained to him their neighbor
was a big shot in the government

amount of food U. S. citizens
could eat.
The Russians took a silent in

One day he was in a grocery

where he lived, buying half

which he had became very fond.
He watched open-moUthed as ne

buy some meat and then pro-
coed to haggle at some length
with the butcher over how
