Inventor Claims De-
fense By Battery

OFFENBACH, Germany -(AP)--
A German inventor claims you can
beat off a hold-up man with a
flashlight battery. Fritz Harbach of
0ffenbach got the idea because
weapons and firearms are strictly
taboo for the GeTmens.
The inventors device consists of
four volt flashlight battery, a
small transformer and contact
plate which is worn inconspicuOus-
~ like wrist watch. The contact
plate serves as a shock transmit
ter" emitting 1000 volts. How the
inventor generates the 1000 volts
from a four-volt flashlight battery
is my own secret" he said. Elect
ricians, however, claim it is a very
elementary process.
A light touch with the shock
transmitter" is sufficient to floor
any attacker, Herr Harbach said.
He had his invention tested by the
German police and they found it to
be an excellent self-protection in
strument." The battery and trans
former don't take more space than
8. pack of cigarettes. An insulated
wire through the sleeve of your
coat connects the contact plate witt
the transformer
The invenor said he already naC
many interested foreign buyers. He
hopes to export the instrument al
soon as production is in full swing

Hospital Quick Is
Ticket For Burns

WASHINGTON - (AP) - Don't
waste valuable time In attempted
first-aid when someone in your
house gets severely burned. a
Chicago doctor warns. Just wrap
the patient in a blanket, sheet or
even an overcoat~-and get him to
q hospital fast. is the advice of DR..
Harvey S. Allen.
Don't try to apply a poultic@ or
any dressing, don't even wait to
call your family doctor, says the
Northwestern University Medical
school surgeon. just ago to a hos
pital'' as quickly as possible, he
says, so that treatment can COM
pence rapidly. He spoke at a sur
geon's meeting here.
He says that invariably people
try to give some kind of first aid
in such cases instead of speeding
the patient to hospital care. He
pointed out that the role of the BIZ
anket, sheet or overcoat would be
to prevent further infection from
getting into the burned area.
He says he never uses an an
esthetic or anagesic (pain-killing
procedurcs) on severely-burned
children, and rarely on adults be-
cause Of the possibility of shock
He added we've been amazed al
how little pain a patient has i
cold air is kept from getting at tht
burned area.

Curing Headaches Is
Still A Headache

AUCKLAND, New Zealand-(P)-
Want to avoid a hangover head
ache?
The advice of visiting Professor
G. w Pickering, Professor of Med
icine at the University of London,
is worth trying out
1t is: Drink a pint OF water be-
fore going to bed after the party.
That's real tip" the Professor
told reporters.
He has a couple of other tips,
too.
One is a 15O-year-old prescription
for clearing migraine headache in
a fash. You just hold a hnger
against the carotid artery Cthe big
one) in the neck.
There is a catch about this cure.
Take the finger away and the head
ache returns.
Professor Pickering is sure tlr-
ed headache is caused by maintain
ed contraction of facial muscles.
when you wrinkle your fore
head and screw up your eyes you
are a candidate for a headache,
says the professor. Relax your
face and you'll avoid it"
The professor knows the cause ol
about every headache there is.
"But," he says, 1--WE are still hav'
ing trouble discovering how tC
avoid them"

Southwest China
Still Likes Coin

RUNNING, China (AP) -
Southwest China is a coin collec-
tors paradice. There are more
than 20 kinds of gold, silver and
tin coins in circulation. Many long
have been out of circulation in
their own countries.
There are U. S. SIS gold pieces,
French Indochina silver piastres,
and Mexican gold dollars. Rupees
from India and Burma come in
over the Burma road.
Most common is the Yunnan
province half dollar, probably the
only half dollar in circulation in
all China. 1t originally was coined
as dollar, but for years it has be-
en- worth only half dollar be-
cause of its high content of tin.
This tin dollar is worth next to
nothing beyond humans borders
but tradesmen prefer it here Over
the inflated Chinese paper money
Hoarded for years, it came bach
into circulation after the war.
In fact, merchants don't like
any kind of paper money-even tn,
American dollar so percious il
most countries of the world. Tn,

peasants.
Parliament, which long ago
authorized free medical services
for workers, adopted new legisla-
tion guaranteeing all types of

ers of small and medium farms
who can afford to make some pay
ment shall have reductions rang
ing from Is to 20 percent on hosp
ital charges.
Members of production coopera-
tives will pay only 20 percent
Parliament was told that Poland's
hospital services had rapidly i'm
proved since the end of the war
/ There now are 100000 hospital
beds in all Poland. This figure il

Czechs May Move
Doctors

PRAGUE - (APl = Czechos-
lovak doctors have been warned
that they can expect to get moved
around the country. Alois Plojhar,
minister of health, said that there
is one doctor to every 554 inhabit-
ants in some parts of Prague, the
country's capital. But some coun-
try areas have only one doctor for
every 5000 inhabitants. So doctors,
who are controlled by the nation

delivered by
WARD NJ. CANADAY, United States Co-Chairn1an
at the opening session of the Ninth Meeting of the
Caribbean Commission in St. Thomas, December SO, l949
As chairman of the Ninth Meeting of the Caribbean Commission
and United States Co-Chairman, I welcome you warmly to these
beautiful islands Their romantic history for centuries has ufolded in
magnificent sun-drenched scenery. We shall not have the sympathy
we deserve, l am sure, for turning our backs on the surrounding beau
ty of sea and mountains, and attending to the serious work we have
to do. You, know, are moved as I am, by the necessity of accomplish
ing at this session specific and concrete results which will help int
crate and improve the economy of the Caribbean.
In these few days we are privileged to spend together, 1 am sure
we shall make a united effort to transform the long agenda before us
into prompt, practical benefits to the people in this geographically
linked area. l am confident that this session will give assurance and
encouragement to those whose hopes, requests, and needs were
year ago.
Since we met in Trinidad last June the Commission may take some
measure of pride in action already achieved.
The Interim Tourism Committee had its first meeting in Trinidad
in August 1s4s. Resolutions were adopted initiating touism plan
ming and research for the region; promotion of uniformity high area
standards Of service, food, and comfort; simplification and uniform
ity of requirements for the admission of tourists; area-wide educa-
ton as to the benefits of tomisn; and the compilation of travel trade
information.
This start is excellent, but we shall accomplish anticipated bene-
fits only when these resolutions are translated into action: measured
by more tourist dollars in the Caribbean; more and better hotels; in
formation available where tourists want it, and so forth. 1t would
be embarrassing if substantial, measurable, tangible results in this
direction were not reflectedin the approval of delegates att the West
Indian Conference next year.
Contributions in the amount of $4,000 from the Virgin Islands of
the United States, $500 from the Dominican Republic, and $4,000
from Puerto Rico have been received. May / urge that the members of
this Commission endeavour especially to persuade the other teritor-
ial governments to which they are responsible to come into this i'm
portant association promptly, SO that this effort may be translated
into additional Caribbean prosperity.
The Tourist Development Association cannot be set UP on a practi-
cal, functioning basis until $4,000 has been subscribed.
It is said that in Continental France alone last year approximately
800miIion dollars were brought in by American tourists. Let us give
this important scource of new wealth a practical trial here.
You will note here in St. Thomas many new hotels, including one
of nearly two million investment; five smaller hotels in ST. Croix, all
built with private capital; one six million dollar investment to be
opened this week in Puerto Rico all induced by the envisioned pros
pect of more tourists.
We have here aenewly discovered tourist paradise. In the United

gust, 199 was a successful one and achieved important, practical re-
suits in the hurricane warning system of l949. This important extern
sion and simpification of storm warnings is an effective accomplish
ment growing directly out of the cooperative efforts of the members
of this Commission.
An important survey on the utilization of the by products of sugar
has been launched in the United States under the auspices of the
Commission and with the help of the United States Department of
Agriculture laboraties. 1t is hoped that this survey will make a real
contribution in someeof the islands, to the use of sugar by-products
such as bagasse and molaSseS in the manufacture of plastic woods,
building materials at lower cost. The United States Department of
Agriculture has indicated that one of the most important suggestions
to be pursued would be the extended use of moasses as a food in the
daily diet Of the people, as well as the possible use of molasses in new
export products such as sauces and glazes.
One of the important reasons for lack of economic progress in the
Caribbean area is the existence of excessive telegraph rates. This Sc
rious obstacle obviously should be removed. l am happy to report
that agreement has been reached in principle among the French,
America and British companies handling traffic between the French
West Indies and the United States, providing for lower telegraphic
rates to become effective January !, 1850 between Martinique and
Guadelope and Zone 7 of the United States. The new rate is based
on 150 gold francs, which,n effect, means a reduction of approxi-
mately 33 per cent in commercial cables.
1t points the way, we may hope, for determined joint effort during
the next few months of all of the Governments represented here to
bring communication rates within this region, and those between this
region and the rest of the world, down. to the lowest possible cost.
Concerted action in this field will help greatly to open up travel and
commerce, and will help greatly to increase the prosperity of those
who live here.
Related to this one important step in communication progress is
the urgent importance of more interiaand radio telephone commu-
nication. In this field there is little tangible progress to report, al
though Ibelieve the matter is being studied by the Secretariat, and
consideration now is being given to proposals for a new service be-
tween St Croix, st. Thomas and Puerto Rico. 1t is hoped that our
next Commission meeting will see definite progress reported which
can be reflected at the Conference next year.

3. We must exercise our

the ballot must be used intel

4. We must support our pub

they are also the training
