If I know Mrs. Skelly's taste, those should be mighty pretty hats girls. During the past week while returning from Chicago, Mr. and Mrs. Wally O'Brien were in an auto accident, Fortunately no one was seriously injured.

Hydrophobia UneomdUJW ' 1 Among Men and Animab "Two or three thinga can be said very definitely about hydrophobia," the late Dr. Logan Clendenning wrote. "Hydrophobia is a rare disease even among dogs. It is even rarer in human beings. Only about 30 per cent of dogs who ara actually bitten by another mad dog develop rabies.v And if 100 people were actually bitten by a rabid dog so that the virus entered the skin, only about 10 per cent of them would become infected. "In order for infection to oocur, the akin must be broken and infective material from the dog*a saliva enter the wound. The akin, of course, is usually brokan by the dog'a bite. But here again there la a sort of preventive instituted by nature, because when the saliva is heavily infected, the dog has usually reached the paralytic stage so that its Jaw muscles ara paralyzed and it cannot bite. "Still another piece of comfort is that even if infection occurs in a human being, prevention is pretty certain with the Pasteur treatment. This treatment can be begun even several days or weeks after the bite has occurred and still be perfectly effective. A full course of this treatment reduces the possibility of the disease developing in a person who has been bitten by a mad dog from 10 per cent, as mentioned above, to less than one-half of 1 per cent." repoHa a strange oarecognlsad (Deration in infante *Uch he says fa due to water from poorly constructed farmyard walla.

(In "blue" babies, a malformed heart causes insufficient oxygen in the blood, resulting in a bluish color to the lips and akin. This deficiency is dueto the failure of the blood to obtain adequate oxygen as it flows through the lungs.) The two infants who were the subjects of Dr. Comly's report had gastrointestinal disturbances, but the author adds that diarrhea and vomiting may not always accompany this condition. Investigation proved that the condition was due to boiled water which came from poorly constructed dug or drmed farmyard we'.Is with defective casings. The water contained large amounts of nitrate, specially concentrated in manure and other fertilizers. When these nitrate compounds are ingested and converted by bacterial action to nitrates, they produce the unusual syr.Tptoms in infanta. « Taanlag Teebalqoe Anefent Tanning of leather and the manufacture of shoes dates from prehistoric times. Part of the story haa been gained from crude drawings, unearthed by archeolo gists, says the National Geographic society. When a cava man cut or bruised his feet, ha wrapped them in animal skins, and fur foot coveringa gradually becama as popular as preeentday saddle shoes. Various articles of leather, more than 33 centuriea old, have been found in Egyptian tombs. The ancients discovered an early means ef refrigeration when they learned that leather "breathea" and water remains cool in a leather bag. The Araba, artisans in saddlery, probably did the first really satisfactory tanning, using flour and salt to cleanae the skins, then plaoing them in the sun to dry. WOm Monday It la a strange fact that the great* est number of colds begin on Monday. This could, of course, be due in part to lowered resistance due to late hours over. the week-end. But since many people actually get extra sleep on week-ends, it seems possible that one factor might be lowered cleanliness standarda oq, these daya. ' Storage Band The Swedish sunken barrel provides a good way to store surplus garden vegetables. The method, so called because of its wide use in Sweden, consists of placing a wooden barrel at an angle in the soil with the top even with or slightly above the surface. Provision must be made to prevent rainfall or surface water from running into the barrel. Mounding the earth up around the top will direct the water away from the barrel. Drainage can be provided by filling the bottom of the pit with stbnes, or brickbats, before the barrel is placed in position. The barrel should have a tij^itly fitted cover Km » Haw wood oral coats at wfltft. lllrai tba Sf>t er pvtsaas ooat Mb, wv It wffi aSst-- teata aad aial the weed, and allow it to dry ft* at least tan daya before applying tha nest ooat A good grade of aluminum paint la unexcelled aa a primer coat.

Soon these tine cars will be their appearance on the streets--driven by Mr. and Mrs. America. And what a thrill to own and drive one--a pleasure you will not soon forget. General Motors discontinued production of passenger cars i* , February, 1942, and turned to become one of Uncle Sam's largest -producers of "tools of war." Engine and transmission assembly lines were never shut down as these units were used in tanks and other units of war. Therefore' improvement has been constant throughout the war years. And now--four years later--1946 General Motors cars will soon be available to the public. And, we believe, with the same popularity which existed before Pearly Harbor, when General Motors produced approximately one-half of all automobiles being manufactured. Since it is recognised that a normal heavy demand for G. 11 can has been accentuated as a result of the strike, it is hoped that you will bear with us on any. delay in filling your orders during this critical period.

The Union demanded a 34 esaita per hoar inenaae and a Government boerd has now recommended a general increase of 18 cents an hoar, which would make a\ earnings $1.33 H an hoar. We average would be $63.40. What ibnt witiriih?, No one seems to know how high materials costs will go. The Gov- •erament has increased steel prices as much'as $12.00 a ton, with an average increase for all grades of 8.2%. Steel is the most important material we buy, but prices on other materials are also increasing. What about prices? There has been no general inrrcrtf^ in our prices since they were frozen by the Government in early 19-12. Since then a few small increase; have been allowed where particular machines were substantially changed in design. What abeot profits? Risk is part of the American profit and loss system, so we do not, of course, ask either our customers or the Government to guarantee that we can be certain of profits each year. The chart tells the story of our profits during the war. Although Harvester produced more goods than ever before, it had no desire to get rich out of war, so our rate of profit has steadily gone .down. What our 1946 profit will be is extremely uncertain. What it'the aext stop? As you can see, our present sftratipn is that with frozen prices and declining profits, we are asked to pay higher materials costs and to make the biggest wage increase in the history of the Company. Can we do this? Wages and materials consume all but a few cents of every dollar we take in. If our prices continue fii' And ttflt wAflM And ~ W!T: aa to whets that if thav tarn out to The management of this Cobbpony cannot and will not aay that. It dares not gamble. It has to be sure. Continuation of our eervice to millions of customers, the future jobs of thousands of employes, and the safety of the investments of 39,000 stockholders depend on our making as correct a decision as is humanly possible. What abort fatore prices fa farm machinery? The judgment of Harvester's maw rgementnow is thatwe cannot safely make the huge wage increase recommended by the Government until the Government authorises adequate increases in the prices of farm machinery to cover the resulting increased costs. That is not a mdgmias nt that makes us happy. The Company does not want to raise prices. V» prefer to lower prices, when possible, and we know our customers prefer to have us do that. We have produced 1942 prices, and hoped we could continue to do so. We have delayed seeking general price relief in the hope that it could be avoided. Now we are convinced that it cannot be -avoided any longer. The price question must be settled. Until it is settled we do not see how wc can settle the wage question. Until the wage question is settled we do not see how we can resume production and begin turning out the farm machines which we know our farmer customers need. Because of the important stake, which both farmers/md ciiy dwellers have in this controversy, we are bringing these matters to your attention. Through the cross currents of today's conditions, we are trying to chart a course that is fair to our employes, to our farmer INTERNATIONAL G a iii^n m ualn* S.4 cm* I* W. riafc rmiHwsss to rise, Sfevt~ our Company will begaa to le at a loas at aosa passt. v.:*. iV., -
