California Storm
Moves Into Rockies;
4 Persons Lose Lives
Denver (U.R) A late winter
storm that hit southern Califor
nia with rain, snow and a baby
tornado rolled east toward the
Rockies Monday on a long north
south front. .
The storm, which produced a
week-end of bitter weather in
the Los Angeles area, was lash
ing portions of Arizona, Nevada.
Wyoming, Utah and western
New Mexico with rain and snow.
Four Persons Die
In southern California, where
four persons lost their lives as a
result of the combination of bliz
zards, rain and windstorms,
skies were generally clearing.
But the effects of the storm
were just beginning to be felt ?n
states to the east.
Ely, Nev., reported 20 inches
of snow at 5:30 a.m. There were
varying degrees of precipitation.
Snow fell in western Wyoming
and Utah and snow and rain
showers in Arizona. Some rain
and snowfall was reported in
western New Mexico.
The weather bureau said the
storm probably would beat itself
out on the western slope of the
Rockies in Wyoming, Colorado
and New Mexico, although some
of its effects probably would be
felt in eastern Wyoming.
Utah Roads Open
The snowfall was mostly light
over Utah with roads open and
no known casualties or suffer
ing. The California storm was
capped by a freak twister that
swept through Santa Monica

Hew Drug Saving
Pregnant Women
Washington U.R) A new
drug extracted from a poisonous
lily is saving pregnant women
and their unborn babies at -Gal-linger
hospital here.
The drug, vergitryl, is an anti
dote for hig blood pressure and
associated poisons which some
times accompany pregnancy, ac
cording to Dr. Frank A. Finner
ty, Gallinger physician.
Vergitryl can prevent preg
nant victims of high blood pres
sure from going into convulsions
of eclampsia, an epileptic-like
fit at childbirth, Finnerty said.
The fits are fatal sometimes to
the mother and give her infant
only a 50-50 chance to survive.
Doses of vergitryl are adminis
tered by intramuscular injection
to relieve the non-convulsive
symtoms . of high blood pres
sure swellings of the hands,
feet, and face, severe headaches,
and violent spells of nausea.
Convulsive patients get smal
ler doses directly into the veins.
The blood pressure drop and re
sulting relief of the symptoms
is rapid, Finnerty said.
Of the first 114 patients treat
ed with the drug; the results
were excellent in 92 cases, good
in 18, fair in three, and poor in
one, he reported. . .
When overdoses are adminis
tered the only ill effect so far
detected is nausea dnd vomiting.
In 1915 an earthquake caused
a Nevada mountain to grow 30
feet, says the National Geo
graphic society.

MUST WIFE DREAD
MEETING OF FATHER
AND EX-HUSBAND
(Q) "1'ti been divorced for 10
years and have three lovely teen
age children. I never remarried,
hoping that my husband would
come back to me. He comes to
tee the children twice a week.
Several years ago. he married a
woman young enough to be his
daughter and thai hurt the chil
dren very much. But. that mar
riage didn't last long because he
couldn't keep up with her fast
life. My father doesn't know he
comes to see the children. I never
told him because of his poor
health. Now that he can get
around a little, he comes to see
me often. I- am so afraid my fath
er and my ex-husband will meet.
I don't want to hurt either of
them as I love them both very
much and my children would
feel terrible, too. Pleas, advise
me about what to do,
(A) This is a case where "hon
esty is the best policy." Make a
clean breast of the whole matter
to both your
father and
your ex - hus
band. Explain
to both of them
your reason for
not telling
your father
about your ex
husband s vis
its ' to -- your
home to see
thechildren
and ask both of them to try to
be friendly if and when they
meet. '
It would be perfectly natural
for your father to resent the way
your husband behaved when he
divorced you and married a
younger woman. Any father
would resent such behavior and
would not want to be civil to the
man who mistreated his daughter
and his grandchildren.
But, there would be nothing
to be gained by your father's
showing his resentment and
much to be lost. If your father
insulted your husband or made
things unpleasant for him when

Menhaden Catch
Exceeds Others
Washington -jOJ.B 'Til take
menhaden" seems to have been
the theme song of Atlantic coast
fishermen from northern Florida
to Long Island lately.
The National Geographic So
ciety reports that 1,500,000.000
menhaden, a catch exceeding
that of any other fish species,
were hauled out of American
waters in 1931. The total is esti
mated to equal one-fourth - of
U. S. commercial fishery pro
duce for that year.
The fish, a member of the her
ring family, is an unpopular one
with the American chef. De
scribed as "oily, mealy and
bony," the menhaden's chief
claim to fame is its oil.
Menhaden oil. manufactured
by more than 30 plants set up
along the Atlantic coast for its
processing, is used in making
soap, paint, linoleum, water
proofing compound and in tem
pering steel. What is left over
after oil extraction is ground
into farm animal feed and used
for fertilizer.
The menhaden is known by
many alliases to its marine
hunter. It is labeled everything
from old-wife, greentail. and
pogy to bugfish and whitefish.
About a foot long and weigh
ing three quarters of a pound
when fully grown, the men
haden is pursued in specially-
built boats ranging from 85 to
150 feet in length. Its favorite
habitat ' is the shallow coastal
waters, where it swims close to
the surface and in huge, closely
massed formations. As many as
500,000 of these fish have been
known to be trapped in a single
catch.
Tax Money Saved As
Engineers Learn Jobs
Washington (U.R) U. S. Army
engineers are saving taxpayers
thousands of dollars while they
learn their job.
The engineers have been using
Prince William Park, Virginia.
as a practice ground on which
they learn bridge and roadbuild-
ing and repairing instead of their
own grounds at Fort Belvoir,
Va.
The park as a result has re
ceived the benefit of new bridges
and new roads that otherwise
would have been demolished on
the grounds of the army post.
This novel and constructive
use of army manpower, has given
to the park "at least $400,000
worth of free work from the en
gineers," according to Conrad L.
Wirth, director of the National
Park Service.
Blood Cements Unify
Among Employees
Lorain, O. (U.R) Life-saving
blood serves to cement unity
among the 227 employes of the
Nelson Stud Welding Co. here.
When the daughter of one of
the worker was seriously ill
last year, fellow employes vol

an effort to save her life. The
little girl died but the idea
didn't.
Almost 90 per cent of the em

When blood is needed, they are

he came to see the children, vour
husband might give up his visits
completely. Then your cnuaren
would be the losers.
Try to make your father un
derstand that your ex-husband
loves hjs children and wants to
be with them as any normal
father would. Explain to him,
also, that as you have never
stopped loving your husband or
hoping that he would return to
you, you are encouraging his
visits in the hope that, sometime,
the family may be reunited.
Your father could do much to
bring this about if be would
show your former husband,
when they meet, that he is still
on good terms with him and that
he hones a reconciliation will
take place, for the sake of the
children. -
