A group of research physicians working at the Children's Hos pital has revealed that marked improvement In small babies afflicted with chronic bronchitis and other respiratory tract in fections, excluding tuberculosis, has been achieved by using penicillin vapor. The physicians, working in cooperation with the University of Southern California medical school, said that it is the ability to get penicillin directly into the lungs which is responsible for the success of the new method. Head Tent of Plaitie A special apparatus for ad ministering the vapor to babies consists of a small plastic "oxy gen tent," which is placed over the baby's head. There is no dis comfort to the child, but if it should happen to cry while un der the tent, the doctors are all the happier because it means that the patient is automatically inhaling more of the vapor. Oxygen is pumped into the tiny transparent tent and serves three purposes: 1, It gives the child circulating oxygen for breathing purposes; 2, it counter acts the accumulation of carbon dioxide in the tent; and 3, it passes through a small quantity of penicillin, a yellowish white powder, which breaks up Into a fog-like vapor and is inhaled by the child. Whereas Intramuscular injec tions of penicillin diffuse quick ly upon reaching the lungs In the blood stream and are there fore ineffective, the vapor meth od permits the drug temporarily to coat the Inside of the lungs. Sulfa drugs are considered too dangerous to use as a vapor In halant. Cost Still High The cost of this treatment Is still high, but results have been so effective that it Is now con sidered a "must" on the list of new apparatus to be obtained when sufficient funds are avail able at the hospital. In the meantime, the research of physicians goes forward. Their next experiment: to employ similar methods in the treat ment of infant pneumonia cases. $1,000 Ring Found In Ten Cent Store Denver 0J.R) Walking through a downtown "dime" store, a Denver attorney stooped and picked up a glittering piece of what he thought was inex pensive costume jewelry.

Investigation disclosed the "cheap jewelry was a $1,000 diamond ring lost by a Denver woman who had passed through the dime store. Demonstrating before Louis XVI the feasibility of the bal loon, the Montgolfier brothers sent aloft a sheep, a duck, and a rooster. Flaw Is Found In Police Effort To Aid Tipsy Drivers Houston, Tex. U.B Po lice are starting to doubt the wisdom of a recent order to escort tipsy motorists to their homes if they request such as sistance. Senior Capt. Tom Sawyer, anxious to help Inebriated mo torists home without accidents, recently announced that Houston police would drive the revelers to their homes and no charges would be placed against them. The department received its first call from a bleary-eyed gent and a sleepy hound dog, who in dicated they would appreciate a ride in a patrol car. The obliging policeman bundled them in the car and set off for the inebriate's address. He admitted afterwards to Capt. Sawyer that he should have been suspicious when the dog leaped from the car and streaked under the front porch. They were met at the door by an angry wife armed with a broom. She flailed husband and policeman vigorously and with out discrimination. Capt. Sawyer admits now that his "Good Samaritan policy has some flaws in it.

Read the background and ask yourself, does this make sense? HERE ARE THE SIMPLE FACTS: la During the last year of the war, the average General Motors hourly-rate worker earned $56.93 per week. This is based on actual records of the money paid and the number of people working. To earn this money they worked an average of 45.6 hours per week. 2a The public demand for GM prod ucts and services is enough to keep our plants working at the wartime level of 45 to 48 hours weekly. During the period of shortages, we plan to oper ate at this rate, barring work stoppages due to causes beyond our control. In fact, some of our plants were working 48 hours a week when the strike was called. The number of people em ployed when reconversion is completed and our new plants and facilities are in production, will be larger than before the war. 3a General Motors offered to adjust wage rates in line with the cost of living. Since January 1941, General Motors' wage rates have increased substantially. Before the strike was called, the union was offered a cost-of-living wage adjustment in line with the Government's stabilization policy. The union rejected this offer and called the strike. This offer has finally been determined to amount to an average of 13xi cents per hour. 4. The UAW-CIO turned down a proposal which would have given the average GM worker $63.44 a week. Under this offer, the average General Motors hourly-rate worker would have received $63.44 for the same number of hours for which he was paid $56.93 during the war. This is at least. 33' more than he would have received in January 1941 if he had worked the same number of hours then. The union rejected the offer. The strike continues. The workers are getting nothing. 5. What does the UAW-CIO want? Government figures say that the cost of living has gone up 33 since January 1, 1941. As already pointed out, General Motors has offered this much to its workers. But the union insists it wants 30 more than present rates, which are already substantially higher than 1941 rates. Its battle cry is "52 for 40 or fight"-52 hours' pay for 40 hours' work. It refuses to budge from that demand. General Motors "MORE AND BETTER THINGS FOR MORE PEOPLED
