Chest X-Rays
Today dozens of general hospitals
are making it a practice to X-ray
the chest of every patient ad
| mitted, for any disease or cause,
j They are discovering a number of
j people with tuberculosis, and this
j type of precaution is extremely
I valuable. Hospitals which have
j carried on these programs find
two or three times as high a pro- j
portion of people with TB as do
chest X-ray surveys made among
the general population.
Shampoo Method
When shampooing your hair, be
sure to wet it thoroughly before
I applying creme shampoo. It is
I easier to spread the shampoo all
i through the hair. The best meth
I od of application is to place a fin
! gerfull in the palm of your hand,
! add a drop or two of water and
j work up a lather between your
hands before applying the sham
I poo to the head.

Butchell, a distinguished London
doctor, was a man of wide learning
and skill, but he could not bear to
be parted from his wife. When she
died, he was stricken with grief
but he thought out a scheme bv

Dr. Martin Van
which he might continue his day-to
day life with her.
Mrs. Van Butchell alone had seen
the soundness of the reasons un
derlying her husbands eccentrici
ties. Other people were inclined to
laugh when the doctor rode a pony
painted with brilliant green and
blue spots. But Mrs. Van Butchell
. , . .
?. gr f e . d that since her husband had
Ilrst learned t0 nde on a rocking
horse - b was wise for him to keep
as cIose to the original as pos
sible.
Dr. Van Butchell detested but
tons and designed a garment of
white elastic wool, stretching from
ankles to neck, which served the
purpose of coat, trousers and
wais * coa t al l in one. His wife ap
predated its convenience in sav

as an entire lake of it enabled
to try its qualities, if
the y felt 80 disposed.
The doc * or rea hzed how well it
Pays to advertis e. When he went
riding, he carried a jawbone slung
about his waist as a sign of his
profession. Once every week he sat
on his doorstep with a little tray
of cakes, tarts, sweets, apples and
nuts, and gleefully dispensed hos
pitality to the children of the dis
trict ' making good friends with
them, knowing that the children of
today can be the doctor's patients
of tomorrow.
Now, with all these means of add
ing to the gaiety of life lingering
only in his memory, he looked at
his wife's body and considered his
scheme for enjoying her company
for years to come.
Appearance of Health
He consulted his old friend, Dr.
William Hunter, one of the fore
most anatomists of the day. Hun
ter was familiar enough with his
friend's queer ways, but he listen
ed in astonishment.
Dr. Van Butchell wanted to em
balm his wife, restoring the appear
ance as nearly as possible to one
of health. He dispatched her body
to Dr. Hunter's dissecting room,
and there a remarkable change
took place in Mrs. Van ButchelTs
appearance.
A mixture of oil of turpentine
and camphorated spirit of wine in
jected into the vascular system gave
her an appearance of ruddy health,
particularly when her cheeks were
suitably padded and stuffed with
powdered niter and camphor. In
a glass fronted case, Mrs. Van
Butchell was laid and held in place
by a bath of plaster of Paris.
Errant-Husband Seeker
Has Outstanding Record
NEW YORK.—George H. Lamb
is one of the few favored men in
the nation who are able to combine
business with pleasure to an ex
tent each year which insures them
of a nice vacation.
Lamb is chief of the abandon
ment bureau of the Queen's district
attorney's office. Every year, at
about the time the season in New
York indicates how desirable a
warmer clime may be. Lamb hies
himself to Florida or California or
some other equally attractive set
ting.
Instead of a rod and reel, how
ever, he takes along a few bench
warrants charging abandonment
and a lot of addresses and tele
phone numbers supplied by de
serted wives with families to sup
port.
He usually returns with a large
bag of errant husbands. His last
haul was 24 delinquent husbands
and fathers out of a possible 37. Of
these, 21 signed papers agreeing to
help support their children. The
other three refused to sign. With
the aid of local police, Lamb had
them arrested and returned to New
York.
In his day Lamb has brought
back some 3,000 errant fathers.
He likes to think of the children
who have benefited by his work.
Governor Receives Letter
Addressed Only With Photo
ST. PAUL, MINN.—A picture of
Gov. Luther Youngdahl pasted on

only address on a letter recently
received by the governor.
The picture had been clipped
from a newspaper and the letter
Mrs. Elizabeth N.
came from
Fischer, postmaster at Streeter,
N. D.
She explained that her hobby is
collecting personal letters and auto
graphs of persons in the news. She
asked Youngdahl for a letter and
a picture to add to her collection.

Atta had customarily delivered

A shopkeeper noticed the blood

before their crime was discov

Hollywood Actress
Abandons Career
For Religious Work
HOLLYWOOD. — One of movie
land's most promising actresses
was quitting the movies and a
career to become a missionary or
a religious teacher. Colleen Towrt
send, the actress, making that
statement, said her decisions had
been made "because Christ is first
in my life and I want to be where
I can serve Him most."
The pretty brunette notified the
studio where her career was hitting
the top that she would not renew
her contract. She said she would
enter a theological school to study
religion for two years. Then, she
said, she would go into "Christian
education, either teaching in church
es or missionary work."
(Miss Townsend was "Sweet
heart of The Orange Bowl Festival"
and appeared at the half when
Santa Clara defeated Kentucky at
Miami in the postseason football
game in January.)
"It's not that I can't serve Christ
in motion pictures, but I feel God
has led me into some sort of full
time service," the actress said.
"I first accepted Christ two and
a half years ago and it was then
theology became interesting to me.
I had never let it become important
before.
"Many young people I'd gone
with to Hollywod high school asked
me to join the First Presbyterian
church. What those young people
had challenged me. They had
something I wanted.
"I realized I had gone to church
all my life, but didn't know what
it was to be a Christian. So I looked
into Christ's teachings."
Miss Townsend had gone to
"various" churches, including the
Presbyterian and the Mormon,
when she was in high school. At
Brigham Young university in Utah
she was a member of the Mormon
Sunday school on the campus, she
said.
Ferret Honored by Airmen
For Solving Tough Problem
RAPID CITY, S. D. — An 18
ounce ferret named Pete has been
honored by the nation's air force
the hero responsible for final
conversion of the Rapid City air
base into a key northern B-36
bomber outpost.
It was Pete who solved the tough
.'S
problem of running an important
telephone wire through a conduit
six feet below a reinforced con
Engineers feared
crete runway,
they would have to tear up the
runway to lay the wire.
But the ferret's owner sort of
felt that Pete could solve the prob
lern. So, he fitted the ferret with a
harness, attached a string and
dropped him into the 2,210-foot long
conduit with the order: "Take it
through, Pete."
Twenty minutes later, Pete ran
out the other end dragging the
string which was used to pull the
heavy telephone bale through the
conduit.
Pete took the line through twice
more in record time. But he was
panting when he took off on the
fourth and final trip. He stopped
halfway through the tube.
After waiting a half hour for the
tired ferret to gather wind and
complete the trip, the workmen
began twitching the string in an
effort to dislodge Pete.
The long distance rescue efforts
continued for three hours with
no luck.
Finally Pete emerged from the
end of the tube to be greeted by
assembled and anxious high brass,
three and one-half hours after he
dived into the conduit.
Pete only blinked at the cheers.
Apparently he had gone to sleep
in the middle of the biggest day of
his life.
Would-8e Do-Gooder Gets
Suspended Term for Pains
PHOENIX. ARIZ.—James Brown
was trying only to do a good turn,
but the best he got for his trouble
was a suspended sentence on a
drunkenness charge.
Brown, a 41-year-old service sta
tion attendant, thought he was do
ing the right thing when he drove
a citrus truck to police headquar
ters for safekeeping after the sta
tion's parking lot closed.
But he did the wrong thing when
he staggered up to the police of
ficer on duty with the keys to the
truck dangling from his fingers.
Magistrate C. W. Pensinger sus
pended sentence on the drunken
ness charge because of Brown's
"good intentions."
