Read the Want AdsT McHenry county has the highest per capita income in Illinois and the lowest per capita public aid according to Mrs. Loomis of the Illinois Public Aid Commission office in Woodstock. Things that have happened recently in McHenry county certainly are not consistent with these facts. Farmers are afraid corn will not be out of the way of frost. Cool weather and water logged soil have certainly not made a very bright picture for the 1950 corn crop. Much corn is yellow and dwarfed. This is. caused by weed competition and soil conditions not conductive to the formation of available nitrogen. The barley crop was pretty good, with some making up to sixty bushels. Oats were fair, with some making as high as 100 bushels, but most going about half that Proper weather to ripen our corn crop will bring on serious corn borer damage by second brood borers in late corn, but just when it will be right to spray has been delayed by cool weather. Very late corn between Woodstock and Huntley has been frozen. According to the Marengo weather station, the average killing frost in McHenry. connty has been Oct. 11. According to a summary of soil testing released by the College of Agriculture on 1948 work, only ten counties in the state tested more soil than McHenry county. We tested 25,162 acres that year and the average per county was 8,934 acres. We tested soil on 288 farms that year and the average was just half that, or 144 farms. In 1949, we tested 26,166 acres on 296 farms. John Lake, I.A.A. safety director, may be driving down the right lane now. Instead of spending time on contests where the best driver is selected and where logically only the best drivers would compete, he puts out a report that is startling. It says: First three months , 1949, there were 389 motor vehicle traffic deaths. In 1950, thlB is up to 452, or an increase of 16 percent. What's wrong? The driver's license law, of course. The National Safety .Council says forty drivers per 1,000 are problem drivers and cause almost all of the accidents. Insurance companies say 27 percent of the drivers have over 80 percent of the accidents. Iu Illinois, one driver out of 1,000 gets official attention, because of his driving record. Nationally an average of 14 get official attention out of 1,000. There is a hodge-podge of administration of the law. The Secretary of State issues licenses and examines part of the applicants. Highway police examine some and the courts alone can revoke a license except under th financial responsibility law, which again is the Secretary of State's job. There are about 300,000 new applicants e&ch year renewals with seventy^nve egaminers'to screen then. Illinois ranks next to last in amount of money spent on licensing. We spend 17 cents of the forty-three cents net collected, the other twenty-six cents going into the general road fund. The average in all states spent on licensing is 30 cents. Of the twenty-five highest counties in milk production in the U.S., fourteen Wisconsin counties are listed. McHenry is the only Illinois county listed and ranks eleventh, with 161,987,000 quails.

NEW SCIENTIFIC TECHNIQUE HEART COND A new scientific techl „• which is based on the theory eye is the window to tfc# heart," can simplify early detection or diagnosis by physicians of a tendency toward development of heart disease. - The technique, known as "flicker photometry," has proven to be more than 98 percent accurate in confirming known cases of hypertensive and coronary heart trouble. In the hands of doctors, it is expected to help them save many lives of potential heart-attack victims, who heretofore had little way of knowing they were developing the disease until too late for preventative treatment. These findings, together with facts about the new heart-blood vessel measuring instrument called the flicker photometer", were illustrated recently in a scientific exhibit at the convention of the American Medical Association. The new technique and instrument are the result of ten years' research by two Chicago scientists, Drs. Louis R. Krasno and A. C. Iyy of the ttaftirstty of Illtaiols College of Medicine. " The apparently simple instrument is a black box with a tiny "window of light," In reality, itis a complex and accurate electrical device for producing controlable speeds of flickering light. It is capable of revealing, by measuring the reactions of the human eye to a countable flicker of light, certain blopd vessel conditions of the retina and the brain which appear to procede two important forms of heart disease. Two easily administered tests are made. After first recording a patient's reaction to the flicker, a harmless nitroglycerine tablet is administered and a second flicker test is taken. The interpretation of the tests simply depends on whether nitroglycerine increases or decreases the patient's ability to 'see flickering light. Over 500 patients have been studied in this research project at the University of Illinois. Further research is being continued at the university, as well as by several investigators throughout the country. In addition to its diagnostic application against the nation's No. 1 killer, the Krasno-Ivy "flickerphotometer" offers valuable assistance to physicians in determining the effectiveness of treatment in '•known cases of hypertension and coronary thrombosis. Recent research and actual use by doctors has verified the importance of the device for real progrspeg in the battle against heart' It is the first instrument able to reveal certain conditions of blood vessels of the retina utd the brain, which appeear to precede hypertension and/or coronary heart diseases. It is * commonly accepted that diagnosis and treatment of these two diseases can never begin too early, but diagnostic methods in general use today are of value only after the disease is further advanced clinically. The device detects this tendency at subclinical level, when the patient does not yet show evidence of elevated blood pressure, abnormal electrocardiogram, or any customary symptoms. It makes possible mass testMg of the public, by a simple and inexpensive method. TRAVEL W COMFORT TO ft&Stft,* FROM RECENT SURVEYS An inspection of travel facilities in Illinois ahd Indiana is under way, Chas. M. Hayes, president of the Chicago Motor Club has reported. The A.A.A. field survey will cover points of interest, travel accommodations and highway conditions in the two states. A field reporter will be in charge of the work. ' "After extensive classroom and road training a field reporter becomes a trained road scout who travels over the main traveled highways," said Hayes. "He covers 50,000 miles each year and provides detailed information about each mile. He checks roacl milage, conditions of road surface, road width, density of traffic and other factors that will help motorists ilk their selection of routes." Among a field reporter's other tasks is the examination of thousands of hotels, motor courts, restaurants and other a0c<miaB0dations. Many get no mors than a casual glance, but the moge promising ones are subjected to a thorough inspection. In addition to reporting on tha number of rooms and baths, raH&ftnd other details, the reporter evaluates the quality, appearance, equipment, maintenance, cleanliness and atmosphere of each place. "Atmosphere" includes such intangibles as friendliness, courtesy and the overall reception given a traveler. With highway travel at a record peak throughout the country,, the task of checking and' re-checking roads and travel accommodations is important. Today's travelers don't want to travel; they want to travel in comfort. Four times as many .people are killed walking against the intersection signal as with it, surveys show. Most of those killed walking with the signal are struck by turning vehicles. c. ^ Subscriber for The PlalndetitM ATTENTION SUMMER Yont uneccupled summer home* can be broken into by burglars and thieves.
