v, Old-fashioned liniment, Grand-
ma’s standby remedy, is sometimes
better than the wonder hormones
to relieve pain of arthritis and
rheumatism, a new medical study
has reported.
V It is credited with relieving pain
and permitting more movement in
82 per cent of 148 arthritis and
rheumatism patients tested at the
New England Medical Center and
Holy Ghost Hospital in Cambridge,
Illass. The report was made in the
Connecticut Medical Journal.1^ .
>The liniment is a famous one
(Sloan’s) first developed^ years
ago for horses. < ,1.......
\ Most of the 148 were patients
who had not been measurably ben-
efited by the Antiarthritis hor-
jnones, Cortisone and ACTH _or
Mother treatments, they said.
f,Somehad_beenJbedridd6n_for
years. \T "._ _ ..._-
H After a few weeks of liniment
treatment many were able to leave
their beds and most were able to
move affected joints with greater
freedom. —
Applied locally to affected joints
and muscles, the liniment is cred- ;
ited with raising temperature in
body tissues and increasing blood
flow.1" _____

campaign by clinics and hospita!s(
for more men and women to take
training in physical therapy to aid.

TEXAS ADOPTS NEW SIGN MANUAL
A new manual for a uni-
form system of traffic control
devices has been adopted by
the Texas Highway Commission
as a part of the Highway De-
partment’s continuing efforts to
improve safety on the high-
ways, it was announced in Aus-
tin today by Colonel E. B. Til-
ley of Houston, president of the
Texas Safety Association, and
Services Advisor for the Gulf
Oil Corporation.
“As a part of the overall pro-
gram to reduce accidents and
facilitate the orderly flow of
traffic,” Col. Tilley stated, “high-
way planning experts have long
recognized the need for uniform-
ity of design, application, oper-
ation and maintenance of traf-
fic control devices on both a
state-wide and nation-wide
scale.
“The standards contained in
this manual are based, insofar
as possible, on national stand-
ards, recommended by-the Amer-
ican Association of State High-
way Officials and the National
Conference on Street and High-
way Safety, both recognized au-
thorities on the problems con-
fronting highway planning engi-
neers,” Col. Tilley pointed out.
The most recent steps in con-
forming with these national
standards have been to mark
Texas highways with safe speed
indications at curves, speed
zones where necessary for safe
driving and in some instances
illuminate highways to aid saf-
er night driving.
He urged that local units of
government in counties and mu-
nicipalities adhere to the stand-
ards of this manual in design,
application and operation in- the
interest of safer and more effi-
cient street and highway trans-
portation.
“The provisions set forth in
this new manual are consistent
with Senate Bill 172, passed by
the 50th Legislature, enacting
the uniform act regulating traf-
fic on highways,” Col. Tilley al-
so pointed out.
High heels were originated by
Louis XIV, who wore them be-
cause he was so short.

APRIL DRAFT
QUOTA SET AT
1.030 MEN
State Selective Service head-
quarters Thursday announced
an April draft quota of 1030
men, as compared to a March
call of 985 and a February quo-
ta of 1,010.
Brigadier General Paul
Wakefield, state director of Se-
lective Service, compared t‘
quotas with the same p«
a year ago. In February 195c
quota was 3.000; in March, 3
in April, 2,894.
In addition to the April
duction call of 1,030, state draft
headquarters announced that
2,235 men will be sent for the
combined physical-mental Ex-
aminations the same month.
Only 1,000 men are being for-
warded for these examinations
in March and none has been ex-
amined in February. Approxi-
mately 4,000 were examined in
January.
Local board quotas for April
induction are scheduled to be
mailed from state Selective Ser-
vice headquarters Thursday. Ap-
ril quotas for physical-mental
examinations will be mailed to
boards Monday, according to
present plans.
Local boards are required to
fill April quotas with men 20
years old or older if they have
them. If necessary to reach its
quota, a board may send 19-
year-olds for induction.
So far during February, the
state director of Selective Ser-
vice said, 23 per cent of the
men going into service via the
draft are under 20 years of age,
but all these men under 20
are volunteers.
More than 80,000 men have
been inducted for military ser-
vice under the present draft law,
which went into effect in 1948.

midnight a clock’s minute hand

From where I sit... 6t/ Joe Marsh
You Might Call it a
"Gravy Train"
{ Was reading the other day
ybout a Maharaja in India who
has a miniature electric train all
made of silver. Now, maybe that’s
not unusual for a prince, but this
fellow had it running around on
an enormous dining table in the
royal palace.
The twelve cars on the train
are loaded with different kinds
of fruits, nuts, and beverages.
iAnd the train stops automati-
cally in front of each plate so the
jperson sitting there can choose
:what he wants.
j From where I sit, the Maha-
raja is really going to extremes
to impress his guests. Around
this part of the world, hospitality
certainly doesn’t need all those
fancy trimmings.
You don’t have to spend a lot
of money or go to a lot of work
when folks drop in. Just offer
them what you have—coffee, tea,
a temperate glass of beer—and,
let them make their own choice.
They’ll feel they’re getting a royal
welcome! \ ,
