Advance Theory of
Blood Infections
From Dust Storm*
FORT WORTH. April 7——
Belief that the vnusually large
number of blood stream infection*
in this section of the country are
caused from dust storms was ex-
pressed here today by Dr. Leroy
Long of Oklahoma City
in Fort Worth to address a meet-
ing of the Texas Surgical Society,
the formar head of the School of
Medicine of the University of Ok-
lahoma desenbed the findinn of
medical students who had placed
petr dishes of germ culture on Ok-
lahoma City roots during dust
storms.
Among the germs picked up by
the culture wee* countless spores
of the type that cause blood stream
infections The germs are hard to
kill, he pointed out, being at a spore
type and inclosed in a shel-lke
covering.
Dr. Long compared the present
prevalence of blood stream infec-
tion*—they have caused five deaths
in Fort Worth in the last six weeks
—to the Influenza epidemic of 1918.
“It is not so severe, however," he
added. “ since the patients are not
so sick nor is the mortality rate
nearly so high."
Dr. Long pointed out that since
the infections do not come within
the realm of surgery, he could dis-
cuss the subject only on the basis
of what physicians had told him.

GENEVA, April 7.—(AP)—The
Ethiopian government asserted to-
day in a new appeal for help'that
Italy had succeeded in disrupting
the League of Nations.
"There is no doubt,’ said the ap-
peal. “that had the states which
are members of the League adher-
ed to their resolve* to stop the ag-
gressor by applying effective sanc-
lions, the war could quickly have
come to an end.
“The Italian governnaent, how-
ever. succeeded in sowing dissen-
sion within the league, preventing
the imposition of effective sanctions
and securing the postponement of
thoee it feared, especially an oil
sanction."
The Ethiopian note raid bitterly
that whenever some effective sanc-
tion had been decided on and was
about to be onforced, some inter-
vention brought about its postpone-
ment.

Tupelo Bodies
TUPELO, Miss., April 7.—(-
Tornado-tom Tupelo prepared to-
day to buy its dead—183 victims al-
ready identified and stacked in rows
in improvised mortuaries—while the
grim task of seeking additional bod-
ies continued
Hundreds more injured when the
tornado cut a path of destruction
a mile wide and four miles long
through the residential section were
treated in temporary shelters.
Governor Hugh White estimated
the property damage at about $8,-
000,000.
“It is difficult to believe that any-
one in the section visited by the
storm survived.’’ he said.
"First, our duty is to bury the
dead—then we will think about re-
building.”
Hundred* of Houses Destroyed
Between 750 and 1,000 of the
town’s finest houces were leveled.
Scores of the injured were taken
to other towns by special trains and
automobiles for treatment. Ninety-
one were at Mempnis, Tenn. Thirty

Here is a slick trick which two
women worked successfully on sev-
eral merchants in Handley, Texas,
we are told:
One woman would walk into a
store and make a purchase amount-
tag to 36 or 50 cents, and offer a
810 bill in payment receiving her
change and leaving the store.
Thirty minutes or an hour later,
a second woman would come into
the store and make a small pur-
chase amounting to 10 or 36 cents
and would give a 81 bill in pay-
menu •
(Four or five minutes later, the
second woman would retum and
state to the clerk: “I thought I gave
you a 81 bill when I was here a
few minutes ago, but I find that
I gave you a 810 bill.’
Whether the clerk expressed the
belief that a *1 bill was given in
payment, the woman would contin-
ue: “Well it will be easy to identi-
fy the $1o bill I gave you because
I wrote a friend's telephone num-
ber cor street addiess> on the mar-
gin of the bill’’
And when the clerk opened the
cash register at the insistence of the
woman, he or she would find the
810 bill obtained from the first
woman, and there on the margin
would be the identirication mark.”
The customer is always right,"
so the second woman would make
off with 99 more the pair’s profit
on the skin game.

He said, too, that he believed the
president had lived up to the law

that he did not believe he was in

to what extent ordinary expendi-

UNIONTOWN, Pa., April
7- ( AP)—Ten or 11 per-
sons, passengers and pilots
on a westward Transconti-
nental and Western Airliner,
perished today in a crash
against a Western Pennsyl-
vania mountainside.
Their giant craft, lost in
black and icy weather and
straining desperately to
reach a safe port, smashed
into jagged Chestnut Ridge
mountain .
Apparently but three of the oc-
cupants. one of them the girl hos-
tess at the plane, escaped instant
death. Both pilots and either eight
or nine of the passengers died.
The only other woman on the
plane, Mrs. Meyer C. Ellenstein,
wife of the mayor of Newark, N. J.,
wu known to be alive. Two men
passengers were reported in a crit-
ical condition.
The hostess, Miss N. H Granger,
stumbled to a fa. mhouse and tele-
phoned airline officials at Pitts-
burgh of the wreck. Then she made
her way back to the scene of the
crash.

it’s so different to many election
days heretofore that one hardly

a heavy vote in the city races. And
that is u li shou'd be. People who
have the right to vote should ex-
ercise that right. If you have not
voted, there is yet time to do to.
and each candidate offering his
services hope you will vote. If you
haven't already voted, get out the

A four-year-old boy, talking to
grand-dad, said, "When I get big
enough I want to learn to drive a
car, but I don't want to have a
crash and go to herven."
Plenty of rough going for motor-
ists. untold numbers of holes, bumps
snd ruts, and the necesstty of
spending millions of dollars for
extra road repairt, is the gift left
by departing Winter. Few, not con-
nected with actual road work, es-
pecially in the northern section of
the United States, realize the dam-
age done roads by freezes. Damage
wreaked by the 1936-36 cold senson
is estimated to range up to $100,-
000,000, and in several states re-
pairing the damage done by freezes
will materially reduce new con-
struction. Fortunately Texas’ toss on
roads from this source is compara-
tively light.
