ONE way to keep down costs
when doing a room is to invest in
some of the reasonably priced un-
finished pieces, doing the staining or
lacquer job yourself. 1t isn't at all
difficult, and once the man of the
house has demonstrated on small
table or a shelf he usually sighs for
larger and more elaborate pieces
on which to apply his skill.
A bright glowing coat of colorful
lacquer or a deep rich stain makes
even simple piece into a handsome
bit of furniture. A most effective
way to treat unfinished wood fur
niture is to give it a special finish
that brings out all the natural
beauty Of the grain. This is accom-

New DrUq
Will Help
Children
By HERMAN n. BUNDEsEN, MD.

WHOOP1NG cough is by no
means the innocent disorder many
parents suppose it. 1t is an infinitely
troublesome disease in older chill
dren, and definite killer during the
first year Of life.
For this reason, the whole medi-
cal world is watching with interest
the performance of a new drug
which gives promise Of being effec-
tive against the germs causing
whooping cough. Produced from
bacteria known as bacillus aero
sporus, it is called, in view of its
lineage, aerosporin.
Tested on Animals
As always, the first test Of the
new substance was made on ami
mails. After experiment showed that
it completely protected them against
what would otherwise have been
fatal doses Of whooping cough in
fection, aerosperin was tried in the
treatment Of children with whoop-
ing cough.
Ten youngsters, between one
month and two and one-half years
of age were treated. Aerosporin was
given by injection into a muscle
every four hours in mild cases and
in twice the dose every three or four
hours in severe cases. The treat
ment was continued for from three
TO FIVE days.
Showed improvement
All Of the children showed def
mite improvement in the first 4s
hours Of treatment.
Vomiting, periods of coughing,
and the frequency Of coughing at
tacks were less. The patients in
whom treatment was begun within
4 week after the onset of the typical
whoop recovered without any COM
plications irrespective of the sever
ity Of the disease or the age of the
patient. When treatment was begun
later than a week after the onset
Of the whooping attacks, the effects
were less favorable.
This difference may be due in
part to the fact that after whooping
cough has made the patient vulner-
able, other germs usually find an
easy entrance into the lungs. Not
only does this secondary attack
widen the damaged area but, by
giving all invaders a better chance
to dig in, makes it harder to dis
lodge them. Thus, in all those cases
in which treatment is started sew
eral weeks after the onset, COM
bination of the aerosporin with one
Of the sulfonamide drugs may be
more effective than the use of the
aerosporin alone.
Before 4 definite statement can
be made as to the exact value of
aerosporin, results of treatment on
a larger group of patients must be
observed. But it is to be hoped that
in this new antibiotic substance will
be found . potent weapon against
whooping cough, a disease which
annually kills so many young babies.

The Teacher Who Bluffs Her
Pupils Fools Only Herself

problem arises. If she has some in
formation on the matter she will
give it and then state frankly that
she is able to answer no further.
Then or later she will go to the
proper source of information in
order to amplify accurately on her
answer. If she wishes to enlist the
students help in gaining this infor-
nation she might properly tell him
so, not as a measure of escape, but
as means of learning with him.
OF course, the teacher needs to
win a high batting average" in
order to inspire her students. She
needs to strive to keep this batting
average" high. About most things
she will aim to have more wisdom
and information than her pupils.
But if she is humble and intellec-
tually honest, admitting her linita-
tions and learning with the pupil,
even from him, she will have the
best way possible for inspiring him
at learning and at winning his es-
TEEN and cooperation. All the while
she will feel so much more self
respecting, she will have peace of
mind, she will have better mental
health and personality.
However, for a few days or weeks
an occasional student might take
advantage of her honesty, espe-
cially if he has had one or more
teachers who for while were so
clever at bluffing as not to be found
out quickly. But with patience and
moral courage her ways will win.
Even those clever buffers among
teachers, though the discovery may
be months or years later, effect an
irreparable moral shock to the
youthful discoverer.

|NTAllY'S the bride who'll
Nl be starting in housekeep-
ing this fall with only two
burner stove in a kitchenette
for meal-getting. It's only the
very fortunate young couple,
these days, who move at once
into a home of their own, with
a complete kitchen to swing a
saucepan in.
A smart trick for the gal
with limited kitchen space is to
get herself a few good porce-
lain enaneled utensils, since
these can be used for storing
foods in the refrigerator as
we'll as for cooking, which
means she won't have to worry
so much about places to keep
them when she's not actually
using them.
Let her select minimum of
items, choosing with care those
which will serve several pur-
poses. An efficient Starting
set" of pots and pans will in
clude frying pan, medium
sized double boiler, one or two
quart saucepan with cover, COW
cred sauce pot and coffee
maker. Those planning showers
for prospective brides, take no
tice!
For ordinary routine, the
kitehenette bride will find her
two-burner stove does we'll
enough. But when it comes to
entertaining, as she'll proudly
want to do in that new home of
her own there's a little more
of problem.

UNFORTUNATELY many teach
ers believe they are supposed to
know everything that might come
up in the classroom. None of them
do, of course, even in the kinder
garten. Therefore, when some ques-
tion is asked by pupil in the grades
or student in the high school, which
the teacher knows she cannot an
swer accurately and fully she is in
clined to bluff in order to save her
face, or to tell the questioner "to
look it up"
In the latter instance the chill
dren soon discover the true reason
for the teachers response. Nor can
any teacher bluff very long without
being found out. Two things happen
in either instance: The teacher suf-
fers inner conflict over fear of being
found out and, if she has a sensi-
tive conscience, she suffers from
moral conflicts. Then her emotions
are discerned vaguely or clearly by
the children, who feel lack of sim
cerity in her.
Can't Know Everything
If only the teacher were wiser she
would get il out of her head that
she must know everything and into
her head thst nobody knows every
thing. She would set out by precept
and example, especially by example,
to teach her children so. Accord
ingly, she would make it a habit of
never going beyond her bounds of
knowledge when any question or

der Of Benjamin (Chippy) Weiner.
Assistant District Attorney Louis
A. Pagnucco of New York said Bre-
tagna waived extradition after be-
ing booked by Boston police as a
fugitive from justice and will be
returned to New York today.
Bretagna, described by the New
York authorities as a "trigger-hap-
by" ex-convict, was arrested while
he sat drinking beer with two at
tractive women. The cafe was sur
rounded by Boston and New York
detectives armed with shotguns and
tear gas.
Women Pointed Bretagna Out.
Mr.. Pagnucco said the gunman
was traced to Bridgeport, Conn;
Hartford, Conn, and then to Ever
EFT, Mass, where he allegedly was
living with one of the women.
The woman and her friend ad-
mitted knowing the ex-convict and
had agreed to point Bretagna out
at the prearranged meeting.
Detective Neylon and Capt. Hen
messy arrested the man without a
struggle. He was unarmed and
had only $1.39 In his pockets.
Weiner, 43, was shot to death in
his lower East Side apartment as he
sat caring for his infant son while
his wife was out.
Wife Held as Witness.
Mrs. Weiner, who police said left
the house IS minutes before the
shooting, has been held as a material
witness. A 26-year-old truck driver,
Carmine Rastelli, who the New
York district attorneys office said
has admitted harboring Bretagna
for time, also is held as material
witness in $4,000 bail.
New York District Attorney Frank
s. Hogan ordered the search for
Bretagna' February l6 after learn
ing Weiner had told an associate
he was going to cut Bretagna out
of his share" Of loot in 10000
New Jersey hijacking.
Mr.. Hogan said five persons par
ticipated in the hijacking, and
added: I'VE know Weiner was one
