Hey fellaS. if that racer is ready you can now get the wheels at either the Bowling or Connors Motor Companies. Official soap box derby wheels are now available there for those boys who have completed entry blanks. .. get them now and have your car ready for the next trial runs and the big race.
 Although improvements have been made in the 1948 tire, the changes will not make the 1947 wheel sets obsolete. The new red wheels are similar to those sold last year, and boys who already have their wheel and axle sets from last year may use them again this year.
 Boy car-tuilders are warned not to tamper with the wheels, axles or bearings. Another admonition is that the official wheels should not be painted. Tires on the official wheel sets are embossed with the official Derby tire" name, which should nof be removed.
 Contestants may use other wheels provided they meet specifications in the official rule book. The wheels must be not more than 12 inches in diameter. Tires must be of solid rubter Wheels may be obtainea from coaster wagons, tricycles, car riages or other small vehicles, but wheels salvaged from commercial units are not permitted. Home made or hsnd-built wheels are prohibited
 Disc wheels may be balanced only by drilling holes in the discs, and welded or riveted disc wheels that have been taken apart and rebuilt are prohibited. Axles turning on bearings are also prohibited.
 If your wheels do not carry the official derby stamp, check the spec ifications carefully and be sure they comply with every ruling.

Draft Bill Moi YefUp
 To Truman
Important Legislation Has Not Reached White
 House, Is Report

WASHINGTON, June 22.-tR- The draft bill passed by Congress hasn't reached the White House yet-which means it may be an- ether two weeks before it is sign- ed into law.
 Actually, neither Senate Presi- dent Vandenberg tR-Mich) or House Speaker Martin R-Mass) have put their signatures on it yet, and it will not be laid before the President until they do.
 Both Vandenberg and Martin are currently at the Republican con- vention in Philadelphia, and the bill-which went through Congress in the hectic closing rush last weekend-must be sent to them there before it is delivered to the White House.
 That means the President pro- bably will have until July 5 to sign it.

 How cold must it be before irost3;te is possible" This question has been statisticaily answered when a study of frosto,te was made among the employees of the street cleaning department of New York City, In an average winter there were 3oS cases of frostbito. When tho temperature gets below $ degrees Fahrenheit, !rregardlcss of wind or humility, frosthite becomes common. Be- tween s and Ii degrees Fahrenheit it is common only if there is a high wind.

Proper Treatment

Other conditions conduce to the occurrence of frostbite-fatigue, exhaustion from working a long time, and keeping in a constrained position. Grease and moisture on the skin make it's onset more ire quent. Greasing the body does not make 1t warmer: on the contrary.
 Proper treatment begins with prompt recognition of the onset. The skin areas most likely to frostbite are the places where the circulation is most sluggish-the nose, ears, fingers and toes. Any numbness Of these parts when eX- posed to cold should have prompt and proper recognition.
 If whiteness due to anemia has occurred, too rapid warming is likely to lead to complications. Sit ting right in front of stove or over radiator is poor treatment. The best source of heat is a part of the body-such as your hand over your ear or nose. If not your own hand then someone else's. When circulation begins to be re- stored, which is known by the tingling of the part, gentle rub ping is permissible. The object of treatment is to restore the circu- lation gradually 50 as to prevent eaotang In the blood vssssas sad

Frost bite. Put some snow on it."
 Early educatlons are very diff cult to overcome. and l had as much of that particular variety as anybody, but l must confess it never appealed to me as very good common sense. And am grateful to know from the most modern surgeons that 1t is now actually froWned on. Snow is likely to be gritty and anyway to have harsh spiculos of frozen particles in it and the skin after frost bite is very liable to injury OF account of it's lifelessNcss and the snow treat nlent tends to bruisc it and open up cuts which are liable to infec- ton, and bring on complications which make for a prolonged recov- cry.
 Frostbite, like chilblains. affects fundamentally the blood vessels of the skin. The reaction of the mi mute blood vessels of the skin to cold is first to contract, and then to react with a compensatory dil- atation. This you can see in the faces of those coming inside on cold winter day. They are as flushed as if they had been in the sun.
 The blood vessels have to dilate to keep the tissues alive-''to keep the circulation going" even if the skin is cold to the touch the cheeks are flushed. But prolonged exposure to cold wears this com pensatory mechanism out and the blood vessels of the skin cease to react and go dead on you. There is no bounce left in them and then frostbite sets in.

Pvt. A. v. Messier of No. - precinct
in a driveway at Twentieth street
and Rhode Island avenue NE. after
a zig-zag pursuit starting near a gas
station at 1924 Rhode Island avenue,
Hyattsville.
The gas station operator, John G
