90 THE EIDIT011: As glaringly - . emphasized by
two oultsitankting errondcus decisions in tih e State-
Wesitern Maryiland boxing meet on Saturday after

l require.fd to nave better qualifications, prefer
rtlilly actual ring experience.
1.35-Vound class, McFadden deserved no
worse than a draw with Bondi (Penn State); and
in dihe 1.65-ipatund class, Tigh e (Penn State) cer-
Cain& didn't defeat Sganligliio.
lsrmostt sports, netabily track, officials are usual , .

f.txcellent organization of officials who must prove
Oleic qualliCications and be licensed. And that is

Gargles of many kinds are advertised for
the treatment of colds, their claims being
based on alleged antiseptic properties. In
the weak concentrations in which they are
used and in the short space of time they
are retained in the throat. they are not
antiseptic.• Therefore, far practical pur
poses their antiseptic properties are negli
gible.
Hot irrigations or hot gargles, on the
other hand, are , widely used by physicians
for throat infections. They bring: heat to
the inflammed tissues and make the, patient
more comfortafble. •A solution • commonly
used for this putripose is ordinary table salt.
one-half teaspoon to • a glass of water as
hot as can be tolerated. comfortably.
