Something New In Safety

By accepting the sponsorship OF a
special safety demonstration for Will
mington school children the local XII
wants club has placed itself in a posi-
ton to help reduce traffic hazards Gre
ated or escaped by bicycle riders.
The plan which the club endorsed
yesterday is to have several hundred
boys and girls participate in what for
lack of a better word we will call a
bicyclecade out Front street to the Leg
ion Stadium where Captain John Davis,
for thirty years in traffic service, by
word and actual demonstration will ex-
plain what cyclists commonly do to Gre
ate hazards and particularly what they
should not do.
Captain Davis, now retired, organic
ed the splendid junior police who for so
many years guarded intersections near
schools and safeguarded the pupils, and
devoted much of his valuable time
teaching school children the rudiments
of safety, afoot or on their wheels, in
the city's increasing traffic. There is
no one here so we'll qualified to instruct
young people, or old for that matter, in
the ways to prevent accidents.
AS illustrations tell a story so we'll,
it is planned to make the lessons the
project will seek to bring home to the
children attending visual. The project
has the endorsement and cooperation of
the schools, the police and the state
highway patrol.
There will also be a moving picture
cameraman on hand and the event will
be filmed for newsreel distribution.
There may even be special enter
misunderstanding or other gymnastic
exhibiticns-to relieve the seriousness
of the undertaking.
Parents will be especially interested
in the announcement that there will
be police escort for the return trip
from the Stadium to some central dis
assembly point, so that their children
will not be exposed to hazards.
With the police department earnest
ly working for greater safety in traffic,
the project should do much to make it's
campaign an outstanding success.

Communication Devices

When the telegraph and the tele-
phone came into existence it appeared
that the heights in communication had
been scaled. But from some of the ex-
hibits now being displayed at the Ma
tional Business Show in New York,
we amt seer nothing yet.
There's a %contraption, for example,
which a reporter can set up in his auto,
write his story as he sees it and have
it transcribed in his city room to be
rushed into print almost simultane-
ously with the event. It is a product of
the Globe Wireless Limited and known
as the radiotype. The same machine, or
something like it, is capable of produc-
ing a dozen carbon copies and can be
used for letters, accounting forms and
invoices. It is patterned on the teletype
but uses radio transmission and can 90

U. S. Replies To Petrillo

The federal government, in a brief
filed in U. S.. Circuit Court of Appeals,
contends that James C. Petlillo, presi-
dent of the musicians union, has no
constitutional right Ito direct and cause
other persons to discontinue or not to
accept employment"
The brief is an answer to Petrillo's
in which he claimed the Lea Act, on
which the government based it's action
against him, is unconstitutional, viola
ties the freedom Of speech and imposes
involuntary servitude.
The action grew out of a strike
Petrillo ordered at a Chicago radio
station which refused to comply with
his demand that it employ additional
musicians which the management con-
sidered unnecessary.

NewcOmb Was Wrong

The historic flight of the Lockheed
Neptune P2V from Perth, Australia, to
Columbus, Ohio, 1927 nonstop miles in
fifty-five hours and eighteen minutes
recalls the lack of faith Simon New
comb, mathematician and astronomer,
had in aviation. AS late as 1903 Mr..
Newcomb wrote:
1.-THE example of the bird does not
prove that mar can fly. Imagine the
proud possessor of the aeroplane darting
through the air a speed of several hun
dred feet per second. 1t is speed alone
that sustains him. How is he ever going
to stop?".

Religion
THE TALL TREES
BY L T. ELLIS

One rule of life dominates our
forest - seek the sun. Our tall,
towering trees are such because
they have reached upward to eaten
the sunlight. They refuse to let
other trees overshadow them. In
the good earth they have their
beauty. Toughened by the winds,
they wave victorious branches on
high. That is why cur woods hold
thousands Of tall. straight trees.
Is not this a lesson for human
lives? They who seek the sun -
who aspire to beauty of spirit,
whose thoughts are upon higher
things, who reach up in prayer to
God - these are they whose lives
are strong and straight and ever
growing.
Some trees are content to be
u~nderbrush, overshadowed by the
giants of the forest. They, too,
have their use, as beast and bird
will testify. But the trees that be-
come timber, for the building Of
mans homes and workshops, are
those which have sought the sua-lit
heights of the upper air.
Stir us to ambition, o guiding
God, that we may ever "covet the
best gifts" Amen.

Perhaps the most novel exhibit is the
verityper which, from a regular key
board, can be used to type in any lang
uage. An announcement says it can
reproduce Assyrian cuneiform, Chinese
and the Navajo language as easily as
English or any speech using the simpler
symbols.
Obviously the frontiers of communi-
cation are to be extended beyond the
limits of imagination before modern
has exhausted it's creative capa-
bilities.

Doctor Says
T. B. TREATMENT
IN FIRST PLACE
Bv WILLIAM A. O'BRIEN, NJ. \

Expectant mothers with tuber.
culosis do best if attention i,
focused upon their tuberculosis
and not upon their pregnancy, FOR
the presence Of pregnancy does
not interfere with the active treat.
ment of tuberculosis.
DR.. Hjalmar Forssner studied
the outcome Of tuberculosis in a
group of pregnant and non-preg.
nant women of the working-class
in Stockholm. All the cases Of tl.
berculosis ere treated in tn.
same way, and the women pa.
tients had approximately the sane
background and environment.
DR.. Forssner learned that there
was not a great deal of difference
in the outcome Of treatment of
pregnant, as compared with non
pregnant, tuberculous patients
Other studies in this country bear
out this conclusion, and they con.
/ stitute the basis Of the modern
treatment Of t~uberculous pregnant
women.
Almost all organs and functions
of the body undergo changes in
pregnancy. The chest changes in
shape due to pressure within the
abdomen, but most Of the tare-
ups of tuberculosis in pregnant
women occur in the earlier
months of pregnancy, when there
is little change in the shape of
the chest.
AS soon as tuberculosis Is dis
covered in a pregnant woman.
active treatment should be start
ed. Nothing should be done to the
pregnancy which will interfere
with the treatment.
AS the chance OF injecting the
child before birth is not great. no
special precautions a r e indicated
during the pregnancy period. It is
a universal rule that the children
Of tuberculous mothers should be
taken from them at birth, to avoid
post-birth exposure.
An X-ray of the chest might well
be part of the routine examination
during prenatal e, and ad-
d;tional X-ray examinations are
advisable If any suspicious signs
or symptoms develop.
After the birth Of the baby, if
tuberculosis is still present, treat
ment should be continued for at
least six months. Delivery is not
a difficult problem with the aver
age patient, unless she has a large
amount OF air in her chest.
AS tuberculosis Is more and
more brought under control, fewer
cases of this disease in pregnant
women are encountered. The old
idea that all pregnant women with
tuberculosis did badly is no longer
true, for good results follow the
active treatment Of the disease.

Letter Box
AN APPRECIATION

Each day after reading the "Top
of the Morning the writer further
scans the Editorial Page of the
IStar-NeWs for more such helpful,
soulful expressions as come to us
from the thoughts of F. H. Willard
in his article 1.-The Singing Heart"
appearing in the Star of September
l28.
Contributions like this would be
a welcome daily occurrence, and
these lines from our hymnal come
to me at this moment Sing ye JOY
GUS children, sing; Glorious is the
Christ Our King"
Singing should be more widely
cultivated in the home, as we'll as
in our regular schools, and Sunday
School. Singing is truly praising
God, and a beautiful voice is the
gift of God; we all have that gift.
One of the most cherished mem
cries of my childhood days is the
time when a large family of chill
dren gathered around our mothers
knee every evening, before bed
time, and listened to her sing we'll
loved hymns and familiar folk
songs in her sweet alto voice.
Only this past Sunday evening a
little five year old neighbor boy
climbed into my lap and, when ask
ed if he had been to Sunday school
today, he said Mo-; then he was
asked if he could sing the beautiful
child's hymn. "Jesus loves me-"
He didn't seem to know it, bat the
next day he came back and remark
ed that he had gone home and ask
ed his mother to look up this song
for him. If such a little effort can
impress the child-like thought, what
would the result be if we all made
singing a very necessary part of
u daily experience.

Americas Card Authority

Hand No. 3 from DR.. Paul Stern
of London, England, is an interest
ing n from a team-of-four match
played at the Jacob Enrich Society
At DR.. Stern's table the bidding
went as shown in the box.
At the other table the bidding
was the same except that East did
not go to three diamonds. DR..
Stern's teammates played the
North-South cards at three clubs
and lost only two diamonds and
two trumps.
At DR.. Stern's table North made
the mistake of opening the king
of clubs. Dummy's ace won, and
deciding to play South for all of
the strength, DR.. Stern led a small
heart.
South. won with the king and
returned the jack of clubs, which
d%eclarer ruffed. He cashed the ace
and queen of diamonds and led
another small heart from dummy.
South had to play the ace and
came back with the jack of hearts.
DR.. Stern o that with the queen
and again put South in the lead
with the nine of diamonds.
Now South had to give declarer
a spadetrick. Thus he made three
odd in diamonds while his team
mates made three-odd in clubs.
In team-of-four matches. two
members of a team play the
North South cards of the hand
and at the other table their team
mates play the East West cards OF
the same hand. To determine the
winners of the match, the scores
of both pairs must be taken into
consideration. In this match DR..
Stern's team won by 800 points,
as each side made 100 points plus
so points for a partial score.

Nutrition Expert Agrees That Meat
Eating Is Hard Habit To Break Down

John l.. Lewis says if his miners
can't get meat, they can't mine
coal.

it's calories that he needs, and
he can get them just as well from

Can't Talk Beef Into Us

O04k y Il OxxA DSS4
There is a.growing belief that Presi-
dent Truman, in response to increasing
public pressure, will abandon price cell
ings on meat before the November cleo
tons. This points the opinion of many
observers, including democratic senator's
and representatives as we'll as an un-
numbered group of party members, that
the meat scarcity is due as much to
politics as any other cause. Certainly
it is not due to lack of cattle, hogs or
sheep.
That the republicans are taking full
advantage of their chance to profit from
the situation is indicated by their use
of a novel propaganda wisecrack, to wit,
"Meatless voters will go to the polls
looking for blood"
After citing that the meat famine
is just beginning, and that the demo-
cratic leaders are getting jittery over
the Presidents stand, the Wall Street
Journal SAYS: " agricultural sta
t~isticians say the Administration simply
can't back up its claims that the meat
shortage is "only temporary" and that
livestock will soon be rolling into mar
ket. They cite Government figures to
show that marketing of cattle thus far
in 1916 is considerably below last year,
and that ranges are stocked with ami
mails ready to move just as soon as cell
ings are lifted.
"The combination of these factors,
it's ~contended, will add up to more
popular and political pressure than Mr..
Truman can withstand. At the same
time it will confront him with a new
price sterilization dilemma. If controls
are suspended on meat, it will be gen.
orally regarded as an admission that the
FLEXIBLE" price line has given way en-
tirely. Such an admission could lead
to an immediate drive by labor groups
for a new cycle of wage increases.
SHOULD the President back down
from his present stand on meat ceilings,
he probably could find consolation in
the knowledge that if Congress, when
it reconvenes in January, finds meat
regulations still on the books, there'l be
an immediate drive to eliminate them
through legislation. This will be almost
inevitable if the Democratic party loses
its majority in one or both houses of
Congress.
"Says one analyst of the meat mud
die: when Mr.. Truman comes up
against these alternatives, he's very
likely to reason that if controls are 60
ing to be forcibly removed in a short
time anyway, he might as we'll do it
himself and try to salvage what good
will he can for his party before elec-
