PAGE TEN Doctors Strong As Discoverers A discoverer is “one who first comes to the knowledge of some- thing; one who makes a discov- ery.” ; Doctors specialize in discovering things about the human body. They want to know what caus- es ill health; they pry into the secrets of bodily infirmities in or- der to check the source of dis- ease and cure the patient. Many doctors have turned from exploring the human body and mind to exploring and discover- ing new things about the world. David Livingstone, the first ex- plorer of Africa, was a physician. Robert E. Peary, discoverer of the North Pole, was a doctor. Other medical men made dis- tinct discoveries, geographically. Walter Russell and Anthony Bagnell, “doctor of physicke”, first explored the Chesapeake Bay region in 1608. Dr. John Brickell first explor- ed Western North Carolina, and Cowher, Nehrig & Co. owaen HINT co Lo n improve With the Bristlecomb you deep-brush to the hair roots, stim- ulate circulation, add lustre to your waves.

Dr. Edwin James first scaled Piek's Peak and Mt. Blanc was first conquered by Dr. Michael Paccard. Dr. John D. Schoeff was the first person to cross the Alle- gheny Mountains in a carriage, Dr. Marcus Whitman opened the first wagon trail across the con- tinent, and Dr. H. N. Jackson was the first non-professional mo- torist to drive an automobile ac- (ross the United States. It is the doctor's insigtent in- quisitiveness that has led him to amazing scientific discoveries. He is a natural explorer. Napoleon's Pose Raises Question Napoleon posed arond with his hand inside his vest. Some say the pose was an at- titude of arrogance, others say he had scabies and was scratch- ing. It is apparant that Napoleon had characteristics associated with a person suffering from ul- cers of the stomach. He complained frequently of se- vere stomach cramps, pain in the upper part of the abdomen, and he suffered from constiatiopn. Autopsy revealed that Napoleon had had a peptic ulcer which per- forated and had walled itself off, but the perforation was surroun- ded by a large gastric carcinoma. He died of cancer of the stom- ach. Napoleon was the nervous type, and this type is most likely to aevelop ulcers. The male who has more than the ordinary amount of drive and energy is commonly thus afflict- ed and it strikes him during his most productive years. About 75 per cent of peptic ul- cers are diagnosed between the ages of 35 and 45. The leading symptom of pep- tic ulcer is pain, pain relieved by food, and thus pain varies in its characteristics and severity with location and size of the ulcer, in- dividual sensitivity to pain, and to presence or absence of com- plications. There is no specific medical treatment for peptic ulcer. General medical care includes drugs and supervision of individ- ual habits as to diet and daily activities, both mental and phy- sical. Open Air ‘Festas' Vs. Santa Claus Santa Claus has firmly entren- ched himself in the hearts of the Brazilian youngsters, although his traditional chimney had t obe ab- andoned—very few homes being equipped with such things, and it never occurs to the small fry that it might be fun to spy on Santa; the children beg to stay up, of course, hoping to participate in the grown-up festivities and per- haps accompany their parents to midnight mass. Since it really is June in Jan- uary south of the Equator, the Christmas holdiay in Brazil is a mid-summer festival. Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve is celebra- ted with greater or lesser pomp throughout the land, preceded by dancing “festas” and gala late suppers. In Pennsylvania, four out of five infants are born in hospitals. In Connecticut and Washington, 97 per cent of infants are born in hospitals, while in Mississippi, fewer than one-third of the bha- bies are born in hospitals.

The ceremony will probably be somewhat similar to that followed in selecting the Un- known Soldier of World War I, whose remains rest in Arlington National Cemetery. His succes- sor will also be buried there, It probably will involve the se- lection of the remains of one Un- known soldier from those of nine Unknown Soldiers who fell in bat- tle in the nine major combat ar- eas. i Selection of the Unknown Sol- | dier is still a long ways off. It will not be done until the pro- gram of returning about 250,000 World War II identified dead from overseas is completed. The $200,000,000 program for return of identified dead is ex- pected to take about three years. The selection of the Unknown Soldier of World War I was made at Chalon-sur-Mare, France, Oct. 23, 1921, from four caskets taken from the U. S. Military cemeter- ies in Europe. A sergeant, who did not know from which cemetery the caskets were taken, selected one by plac- ing on it a bouquet of four pink and four white roses. The remains of the Unkonwn Soldier were transferred to ano- ther casket and shipped to the United States. The casket containing the re- mains was taken to the Capitol and lay in state there until Nov. 10, 1921. Then services were held in the amphitheatre at Arling- ton National Cemetery on Nov. 11—Armistice Day. The Unknown Soldier was awarded the Medal of Oonor and the Distinguished Service Cross. The nine combat areas from which the Unknown Solder’s re- mains will be taken for ultimate selection of the Unknown Soldier who will represent all war dead are the European Theater, Far East, Pacific, Mediterranean, Af- rican, Middle East, India, Burma, China, Alaska, and the Carribean.

Women to Lose Liquor Store Jobs The state liquor stores will drop all women clerks within a few months, it was disclosed this week. The female help will be replaced by men certified for appointment by the Civil Service Commission at Harrisburg. Frederick T. Gelder, chairman of the Liquor Control Board, es- timated that there are now 200 to 300 women clerks in the state, mostly in Philadelphia stores. About 500 war-duration male clerks in stores throughout’ the state also will lose their jobs if they don't make the grade in Civil Service examinations to be held Jan. 24.

A member of the dinossur fam- ily, the great reptile has been classified as a torosaurus. The fossilized remains of the skull, more than five feet in length, were discovered recently about 10 miles east of Camp Crook, S. D, | by Dr. Ralph Pemberton, and E. Curson Poultney, members of the Academy. It was studied by Dr. Edwin H. Colbert, associate curator of geo- logy and palentology who identi- fied it as belonging to torosaurus, a plant-eating dinossur. From his studies and other fragmentary re- mains, a small scale restoration model of the animal was con- structed. It is now on exhibit with the skull at the Academy. The animal carried a pair of largg, straight, conically shaped horns above the eyes, and a small horn on the end of the nose. The back part of the skull was in the form of a bony shield that ex- tended over the neck. In life, according to Dr. Col- bert, torosaurus stood about eight feet tall and weighed six to eight tons. ® YOUR GUESTS WILL ENJOY A Cool Refreshing Drink of Beer or Soft Drinks!

Here are a few of the beliefs, conflicting a lot of details: If the sun shines through the apple tree on Christmas day there will be a good crop the following year. If ice will bear a man before Christmas, it will not bear a mouse afterwards. Thunder and lightning Christ- mas week means much snow the balance of the winter. Rain causes more damage than frost before than after Christ- mas. At Christmas, if meadows are green, at Easter they will be cov- ered with frost. If windy Christmas day, trees will bear much fruit. A wet Christmas means empty granary and barrel. A green Christmas makes a fat graveyard. A warm Christmas cold Easter. A green Christmas is followed by a white Easter. Real St. Nicholas Of Fourth Century St. Nicholas is popularly asso- ciated with Christmas and gift- giving presumably because once during his mortal existence he reportedly endowed three dower- less maidens with three purses of gold. Historically, as the Archbishop of Myra, Nicholas was a member of the Council of Nicaea. In 325 A. D. Constantine the Great called together the great theolo- gians of the Christian world in the first complete general council of the entire Christian church. The council, assembled near Constantinople, and presided over by the still unbaptized Constan- tine, proclaimed the first exact definition of Christian teaching— as embodied in the Nicene Creed —and marks the beginning of Christianity as it is understood today. an means a The village smithy, of Long- fellow’s famous poem, was not a man.

S. Bureau of Mines, says. Boyd said such practices will help ward off fuel acute. pared two free and one ten-cent pamphlet on home fuels and in- sulation. Some of the suggestions they present: 1-—The house may be kept some | cooler during thz day than in the | evening, if the air is kept prop- | erly humified. It is economical to let a house cool off after bed- time, even though additional heat is needed in the morning to re- store normal temperatures 2—Keep plenty of fuel in the furnace, but control the volume of air. Plug any air leaks in the heater with steel or furnace ce- ment. 5—Beforz shoveling fresh coal into the furnace, hoe the upper layer of the fuel bed aside so that red hot fuel can be raked back over the top of the bed af- ter firing to ignite unburned gas- es. 4—Shake ashes down gently, and stop when red particles fall into the ash pit. Use a poker gen- tly if at all, for ashes stirred up in the hot flame melt and form clinkers. Boyd said weather-stripping saves up to 15 to 20 per cent of fuel consumption, weather-strip- ping plus storm windows 25 to 30 per cent, and double windows plus weather-stripping and half insulation, about 50 per cent. Ban on Pleasure Driving Is Urged To Conserve Fuel Oil Demand Running Far Ahead of Supplies An administration spokesman said the other day that motorists will be asiked shortly to curtail pleasure driving as part of a vol- untary fuel conservation program. At the same time he petitioned Congress for authority to enforce rationing and price controls on oil and coal if voluntary measures fail to head, off a threatened win- ter shortage. The Government's plan for cop- ing with the fuel crisis was re- vealed to the House Banking com- mittee by Undersecretary of the Interior Oscar L. Chapman. He said the department soon will announce a voluntary oil- saving program which it hopes will make it unnecessary to re- Administration should be armed with mandatory powers if the pro- gram should fail. He said the coal and oil sit- uations are “explosive in the pres- ent inflationary atmosphere” and {could create serious supply and | price problems.” “The mere authorization of | stringent controls should help to | deter if not to avoid such dis- turbances,” he added.
