jpnk . •"if Thursday, August 1,1940 fmWi TBI HoimtT PLADJDEALSfc OOKGRES8IONAL VISWB by Congressman Chauncey W. Reed Conscription The Senate Committee on Military Affairs is expected, in the near future, to report out favorably a revised version of the Burke-Wadsworth Compulsory Military Training Bill. Numerous changes in the original Bill have been made by the Senate Committee. The revised measure will probably call for registration of all males between the age of 18 and 64. It is anticipated that if the Bill is acted on favorably by the Congress, approximately 1,500,000 men between the acre of 21 and 31 will be drafted during the year beginning October 1, 1490, and October 1st of the following year. A training period of one year will in all probability be provided for, with a base pay of $21 per month. War Department officials have announced that they expect to place men with dependents in a deferred classification, and that such men are not expected to be called for service during peace time. A lively Senate battle on the Bill is expected when it comes on the floor of that body for consideration. Senate opponents of the "draft" are inquiring why the Administration and War Department are insisting on having nearly two million men called to the colors in peace time. Other Senate opponents of conscription contend that in this age of mechanised warfare, what our nation needs is a strong air force and a competent mechanized army rather than having two million men under arms doing "squads Tight:" Garner Going Hone Vice President John Nance Garner, the Sage of Uvalde is.packing up and Is planning on returning to his Texas home. According to reports the Vice President is planning on taking a long vacation despite the fact that Congress is still in session. Capital observers point out that this is an indication that the Vice President is probably through with politics. Mr. Gamer's friends say that the recent action of the Democratic Convention in nominating the President for a third term and discarding the man who was his running mate in 1932 and 1936, was a blow which the gentleman from Texas doesn't intend to take without a "slap "back." Already Democratic politicians are beginning to. worry concerning the probable effect that this action will have in the State of Texas. Vice President Garner is beloved by his Texas people, and political forecasters say that if the Vice President decides to "go fishing" during the coming campaign, Texas will probably go Republican. •*' Clean Pontics Here is considerable talfe/fa^the cloak rooms concerning the question of whether or not Secretary of Agriculture Wallace who is the Democratic nominee for Vice President, will resign his Cabinet post. In keeping with the spirit of the Hatch Clean Politics Act it would seem that the Secretary of Agriculture would be bound to take this action. The Department of Agriculture is in reality a huge political set-up in itself, and therefore it cannot be questioned that Mr. Wallace would be doing an injustice if he retained his Cabinet post while campaigning for another office. We are wondering what the attitude of Senator Hatch, father of the Clean Politics Legislation, will be on this subject. We feel certain that the Senator will be of the opinion that Sec* retary Wallace should not use his political power to further his future political ambitions.

New Brain Operations May Aid Mental Cases New brain operations, made possible by patient, difficult research in the "geography" of the brain, may offer hope of sanity to certain types of hitherto hopeless mental cases, according to Dr. J. F. Fulton, professor in the Yale university school of medicine. Studies of the localization of bodily functions in the brain tissue must take into account, Dr. Fulton points out, not only the human brain, but the brains of various animals at different levels of evolution. This work has established the principle, he said, that the higher the evolutionary progress the more control the frontal lobes have over all the lower levels of nervous function. Cats, for example, may have the area that controls leg movements removed and suffer only a short period of paralysis and weakness. Marmosets, a bit higher in the scale, behave like the cat, but the paralysis is more enduring. In Pithecoid monkeys, such as the macaque, removal of the "leg" 8reas produces profound paralysis from which it takes months to recover. In chimpanzees apd in man it produces a permanent paralysis. These studies of the "geography" of the brain have opened the way to surgical procedures never dared before, Dr. Fulton pcints out, because it was not known what paralysis, for instance, might follow excision of part of the frontal lobes. Now, without danger of such disaster, it is possible to remove parts of the frontal lobes and restore to certain types of mental patient a cheerful attitude and ability to cope with their problems. The results of such operations are being compared with the results obtained from the various "shock" treatments for' insanity, such as those using insulin and metrazol. i • ?' V Minor Improvement* Add to Home's Charm Often it is the extremely modest home, trim, well kept, and radiating warmth and hospitality, that arouses the interrogation, "Isn't that a lovely home?" It does not take a pretentious mansion to call forth such admiration, for more often than not it is neatness and maintenance that gives the dwelling its appeal. * Frequently a new coat of paint or a new roof will transform a rather drab home into one with a pleasant, inviting atmosphere. Sometimes more is needed--a new porch, a new entrance, dormer windows, a bit of landscaping. If it is a frame house, a brick of stucco veneer or stained shingles may be a better investment. A checklist of things which the home owner could do to modernize the exterior should include: Repair masonry and brickwork, point up masonry, sandblast brickwork, apply transparent waterproofing, make cornices and water tables weathertight, waterproof basement walls, stucco side walls, brick veneer the exterior, paint weathering surfaces, replace defective flashing, pressuregun calking, install outside drain tile to conduct water away from foundation, install new areawa^s. Treatment of Ear Diseases The most effective way to reduce the incidence of acquired deafness and impaired hearing is early diagnosis and immediate treatment of all diseases of the ears, since infections are often the forerunners of these conditions, according to. Horace James Williams, M. D., Philadelphia, writing in the American Medical Journal. Catarrhal and pus-discharging infections of the middle ear generally occur in children before the age of five; therefore the child must be carefully watched during this period for any signs of inflammation or infection of the ears. Sinusitis also plays a part in impaired hearing and deafness, in that when a child cries or vomits, the nasal secretions are forced into the ear tube. These secretions should be removed mechanically. . Gritty Paint as Cameoflage Camouflage experts in England are employing various paints for use on structures where light reflection should be diminished. Gritty oil paint--usually applied to horizontal surfaces and roofs--assists materially in disguising contours of a building. There is also a gritty oil-bound water paint for use on asbestos and asphalt where permanence is desirable, and also a non-gritty flat paint for application to walls and other vertical surfaces. These paints are important where artificial and conspicuous figures are to be painted on a horizontal surface, as for example, when a large factory is camouflaged to look like a row of cottages or even a private dwelling. Sometimes the illusion of a road passing over the roofs of buildings is created, and roads are even painted across a landscape for the purpose of making them cut through these roofs. ^t jEaemy •( Vanrfsbtef Dtret is an enemy to good results in varnishing, so when a job of this kind is undertaken it is well to remember that all materials and tools used should be kept as free from dust as possible. Paint authorities advise that the rooms be kept dust free and that the brushes be kept clean and varnish cans closed except when in use.

Diet Important To Victim of f Stomach Ulcer By DR. JAMES W. BARTON IRtleawtl by Wectcrn Newspaper Union.) IT IS known that more than * one in every 20 adults has an ulcer of the stomach or first part of the small intestine. Many are not aware that the fullness, pain or distress that comes on two to three hours after eating is due to a little erosion or break in the lining wall of the stomach or intestine. They simply go on a "soft" or liquid diet for two or three weeks, the ulcer heals, and it RINGWOOD Mrs. Jay Cristy entertained the Easy Aces bridge club at her home on Tuesday afteroqon.

Heine of Chicago remains healed if they do two things: (a) Avoid rough foods, and (b) avoid emotional disturbances. In the Mayo clinic number of the spent Sunday in tine George Shepard Dr. Bartoa imm Medical Clinics of North America, Dr. Carl G. Mor'ock says: "It is now recognized that in dealing with an ulcer-bearing type of individual who in many instances has inherited this ulcerbearing or ulcergrowing tendency. Because of this peculiar tendency to the development of ulcer in some patients one sees stomach ulcer occur in the same stomach from which an ulcer has been previously removed by surgery, and one sees ulcers of the intestine in a patient who has had his stomach and intestinal ulcers removed." Regrowth Not Inevitable. However, the fact that the individual had parents who grew ulcers or he has grown an ulcer himself does not mean that he is bound to grow another. "When an ulcer has healed over, duty to the patient is only half done. He should be made to understand that he still has the tendency to grow an ulcer and that there will always remain the danger of the old ulcer returning or a new ulcer starting. Any infection--teeth, tonsils, gall bladder--must be removed. The patient must learn to eat slowly and chew thoroughly. Salads, raw apples, cabbage, nuts, vegetables, cheese, tough meats and new breads, alcohol, strong coffee, unripe fruit, vinegar, mustard, pepper, very hotand cold drinks should be a voided, "i Finally, keeping mind and body relaxed and trying to avoid anger oi| other "wearing" emotion is an im*- por^ant factor in preventing storm ach or Intestinal ulcer. v • • • Heat Instrumental In Relieving Pain J XXT'HEN you are suffering severe » v pain from rheumatism, arthritis or neuralgia you are likely to reach for the strongest pain-killing drug except morphine, which you wisely refuse to use. Most physicians believe that while searching for the cause of your pain there i$ less harm to the body by using m pain-killing drug than trying to with-, stand a pain that wracks your mind and body. In speaking of neuritis--the sever# rheumatic pain due to organisms or products manufactured by organ* isms--Dr. Richard Kovacs, New; York, in New York State Journal of Medicine, states that general heat measures--electric cabinet baths* hot baths--should be used because' they speed up the body processes and increase the rate at which ther poisons are removed. Heating Action Twofold* "Mild local heating is the maW standby to give relief from pain. Its action is twofold because it not only brings about direct quieting of the nerve endings but also relieves or relaxes the adjdining muscles which are in a state of spasm ags they try to protect the damaged part (joints, tendons)." It is this continuous spasm or tenseness that helps to cause so much pain. In addition to heat other "physical" measures used are massagcf to improve the nutrition of the part (brings blood to part faster and re| moves wastes), to prevent thicken* ing of the tissues affected and tq prevent wasting of the muscles. Passive exercises (part is moved by the attendant, not by the patient) ted prevent deformity and shortening. and ^growing together of the ends of the joints; active exercise and hot applications to keep the unparalyzed muscles in gqpd condition. Heat in any form relieves pal*. ' • • • QUESTION BQK home. Floyd Carr of Greenwood spent Sunday afternoon in the Wm. McCannon home.
