Sidewalk superintendents are
born Second-guesSers and the
odds are in their favor on at
least one construction job here.
Ben Coffman, a construction
superintendent for 80 years,
holds down the big job on a new
History Office building at Thir-
teenth street and Pennsylvania
avenue NV. He works for John
McShain, Inc, general contrac-
tor on the job.
Almost daily he posts a bull
letin for sidewalk Superintend-
ents announcing the days sched-
ule and, frequently, forecasting
the work schedule several days
in advance.
That's where the odds come
in.
Last Friday he posted bulle-
tin announcing that massive
10000 gallon fuel oil tank would
be installed yesterday.
"You should have seen the
crowd that gathered over on the
other side Of E street to see If
we would get it in. After we
completed the job several peo-
pie came over to offer con-
gratulations," he said.
"They didn't think we'd be
able to keep up with the sched-
ule," he added with wry smile.
A half-hour in Mr.. Coffman's
Office at the construction site is
enough for any novice to dis
cover just how heavily the odds
favor the sidewalk supers. The

Blood Thinning Drugs Seen
Averting Heart Attacks

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 2 (P).-Blood-
thinning drugs might have saved
$4,000 Americans who died of
heart attacks in the last 10 years
"a life every 8 minutes-a ply
sician said today.
The drugs, anticoagulants,
help dissolve or prevent blood
clots which block the main ar
terry to the heart.
Dicoumarol and heparin are
main examples.
Described by Doctor.
How they have proved their
dramatic life-Saving ability was
described today to the American
Medical Association by DR.. E.
Sterling Nichol of Miami, Fla.
In 10 years, probably s million
Americans have been stricken
with these heart attacks, he said.
IF anticoagulants had been
used in all cases, the death rate
would have been reduced from
"a to 16 per cent, which means
$4,000 lives might have been
saved Actually, less than one
fifth of the cases we're treated,
but even SO at least 100000 prob
ably have been saved" DR.. Nichol
said
Warming Signals.
The drugs can work if given
before, or even after some heart
attacks, he said. The heart at
tackS often give warning signals.
hours or even weeks before the
damaging blockade of the heart.
Certain pains are a main warn
ing signal.
The drugs must be used care
fully, to prevent hemorrhage
from too-thin blood, DR.. Nichol
cautioned They and other drugs
now are being studied also in
thousands of patients as a means
of preventing later heart attacks.
In another report to the ANA,
it was asserted that rheumatic
fever, the heart disease striking
mainly in childhood, can be pre-
vented by a single shot of a long
lasting form of penicillin, Bicil-
lin. given whenever strep sore
throats appear. The heart
damaging fever often follows
strep infections, Dr.. Charles H.
Rammelkamp. jr., Cleveland,
said in his report.

Antibiotics Succeed
As Meningitis Curb,
DC. Doctor Reports

A Washington pediatrician to-
day told doctors meeting in St.
Louis that meningitis is being
treated successfully through the
use of antibiotics and sulfo-
naides.
In 81 cases of bacterial menin-
gifts treated last year at Chill
dren's Hospital, there were only
four deaths-a mortality rate of
"A per cent-according to DR..
Frederick G. Burke, professor of
pediatrics at Georgetown Uni
versity Medical School.
Speaks to Doctors.
DR.. Burke spoke at the seventh
annual clinical session Of the
American Medical Association.
Possibly in no other disease
entity that afflicts infants and
children with such a degree of
regularity have the antibiotics
shown such an excellent effect
as they nave IN menlngltlS, Df.
Burke said.
DR.. Burke pointed out that
meningitis, which 10 years ago
was causing deaths in so to 100
per- cent of its victims, is now
being controlled in that its death
rate has dropped dramatically" "
Combination Used.
DR.. Burke said the combina-
ton of aureomycin and chloro-
mycetin was adopted at Chill
dren's Hospital last year be-
cause this combination, it was
believed. would cover all COM
mon types of meningitis.
The combination was used in
10 per cent of the 81 cases
treated last year, DR.. Burke said.
In view of the reports that
chloromycetin has had adverse
effects on the blood of some pa
tients, DR.. Burke said not a sin
gle case of "aplastic anemia," a
reaction from the drug, has been
noted in more than 5000 chill

Elaborate School Buildings Termed Needless Expense

taught just as successfully in
less expensive buildings.
Stewart Bushong, a former
legislator, said the most recent
school built in Hagerstown is
mostly glass, has three separate
heating systems and cost $780,
600. The same size building in
Frederick County cost $3.50 900,
he said.
He urged passage of a law
giving county commissioners the
authority to review preliminary
sketches of school buildings and
reject those it considered too
expensive.

Notable was the one in l945 when Il
U. S. coast guard helicopter, as

rescued II Canadian airmen, one

A derail or derailer is a device de-

and other rolling stock off the rails

are used principally on spur tracks

Buying Cycles

For more than so years the orders
received by the General Electric
Company have fluctuated in a rhy-
thin or cycle Of about six years in
length. Through wars and depres-
sions, in spite Of changes in the
nature of the business, the rhythm
has presisted. The average effect Of
this period in the past has been an
overall move up or down of about
30 per cent Of trend.
