'Iron Lung' Easy to Build
Bloomington, 111., Aug. 10 W) A group of engineers, volunteer
ing in the fight against polio, announced today they have design

"Tother materials.
They offered to send blue
Widow Denies
Wedding Plans
St. Louis, Aug 10 UR Mrs.
Carleton Hadley, wealthy wid
ow, today denied rumors that
he would wed Vice President
Alben Barkley within the next
week or two.
She said she had heard ru
mors that she and the vice pres
ident would be wed In Paduch,
Ky., next Sunday or in St. Louis
a week later. Both, she said are
false.
Barkley took Mrs. Hadley to
a ball game here last Sunday
and he also saw her at a party
earlier.
Questioned before about the
romance Barkley answered that
Mrs. Hadley was a very charm
ing and lovely woman , . . a
very nice friend."
Tetanus Drug
Aids Farm Lad
Portland, Aug. 10 (fl A
fourteen year old Gaston farm
lad appeared today to be recov
ering from tetanus infection and
lockjaw thanks to experimen
tal use of the drug myonescin.
University of Oregon medical
chool physicians reported Har
ry Forquer was well enough to
demand a hot-dog yesterday and
then a steak. He got the hot
dog,, but the steak must wait.
Physicians said the boy step
ped on a rusty nail July 4 and
developed symptoms of tetan
us July 23. His body and jaw
stiffened and his mouth was so
rigid for two weeks he was fed
intravenously.
Then the myonescin drug was
used. It relaxed his muscles
long enough so he could eat nor
mally while anti-toxin combat
ted the tetanus germs.
prints and plans for the machine
to any community which
requests them.
The machine can be built
from materials "you'd find in
any hardware store or lumber
shop in any one-horse town." a
spokesman said.
The lung was built by the
engineering staff of the Eureka-
Williams plant and other citizens
in their spare time. It will be
sent to St. Joseph's hospital here
within a few days to take its
place beside two shiny steel
lungs.
R. C. Osborn, vice president
of engineering at the plant, said
the idea of the men was to build
a "lung that any carpenter can
build any place it's needed."
He said the men avoided us
ing any equipment or instru
ments that might be difficult to
find in a hurry.
Here are the necessary ma
terials: A tractor tire innertube.
An alarm clock.
An hydraulic automobile jack
A washing machine motor and
gearbox.
A large wash tub.
Ordinary household electrical
switches and cable.
Plywood.
The machine can be operated
manually in case of power
failure. The alarm clock is used
as a warning. It will go off in
case of a power failure.
Osborn said the lung is a
permanent piece of equipment
that should last as long as an
ordinary iron lung.

All Is Ready
For State Fair
Construction and clean-up
schedules of the Oregon State
Fair are far ahead of schedule.
Manager Leo Spitzbart reported
this week.
"We have only a small
amount of painting to do," Spitz
bart continued, "and we will be
ready to swing the gates open
on the best state fair yet." The
genial Spitzbart. in his 14th year
as head man of the annual ex
position, predicted a record
crowd if good weather prevails
through the fair week of Sep
tember 5 to 11.
Gate admission will again be
50 cents, tax included, while
children, 12 and under will be
admitted free. Admission prices
to the horse races, the combin
ed horse show-rodeo, and Hel-
ene Hughes evening stage pro
ductoin will remain at 1941
levels. Reserved and box seat
ticket sales are now being held
at the fairgrounds office while a
portable ticket booth will be
parked in downtown Salem
during the week preceding La
bor day.
Spitzbart anticipates slightly
lower food prices and amuse
ment charges during the 1949
exposition. Veteran concession
naires have advised Spitzbart
they intend to reduce some
charges, particularly for the
amusement rides, as much as 20
per cent.
In line with last year's policy
free midway acts will again be
a daily feature. A trio of high
wire acts will form the basis of
the show to be held four times
daily in front of the horse show
pavilion.
Expected to be extremely pop
ular with the enthusiastic young
er gentry and harried parents, is
the newly constructed Kiddie
land." The latter area, entirely
enclosed and furnished with
awning covered benches, is de
signed for youngsters, 10 and
under. The area also is resplen
dent with a new lawn and will
offer the smaller amusement
rides at substantially lower ad
mission prices.
time and place will be arrang
ed at the Friday meeting. All
