He was invited to talk before the club and gave a stirring speech. It was demon rum that led to his downfall, he told his audience.

Masters told Deputy Sheriff Andrew Graston that he smelled gas as he approached the house, broke in, and found his mother on her bed. All the jets on her gas stove were open. Deputy Graston said a note was found which said: "No money. No job. No health.

My all is my cats." Mrs. Masters adopted every stray cat she saw and had between 30 and 35 of them in her home, neighbors said. Only a few survived the gas. MRS. MASTERS was revived by the Wayne Township rescue squad after her son carried her to a porch.

Last year, the agency asked Congress for The former Nebraska governor listed six major reasons why civil defense is more urgent than ever before: 1 "DISCLOSURE of the deadlines and wide distribution of radio-active fallout from ground bursts of thermonuclear weapons. This extends the lethal potentialities of such weapons to points far beyond the cities and military installations that might be expected to be targets." 2. Tests which the FCDA conducted with the Atomic Energy Commission and Defense Department last spring in Nevada "from which we obtained accurate knowledge of the effects of atomic bursts on hundreds of common products from canned foods to homes, and of techniques ranging from protection before an atomic explosion to rescue afterward." 3. The 1955 "operation alert" from which the FDCA learned the efficiency of 'warning and emergency information systems, the operational readiness of state and local civil-defense agencies, and the ability of some 30 key divisions of government to perform civil defense functions under attack conditions."

A man can generally obtain 25 to 50 pennies from his own pocket or from other adults at such a gathering. Then send the youngsters to a distant spot while you scatter the coins on the front lawn. You may get them all to walk around the block or hike a quarter of a mile and back, to allow you ample time to toss out the pennies. This walk itself helps drain off their excess muscular energy. Then, after their return, they will run and squeal in delight when they pounce upon the pennies.

The 50 cents is cheap insurance to give the women folks a half-hour of quiet indoors. MRS. CRANE and I also would vary this procedure, if we had enough advance warning, for we purchase 50 cents to $1 worth of lollipops, bubble gum and other 1-cent items. Then we'd send the youngster down the road while we hiked over a 30-acre pasture field and stuck the candy or gum under the bark of shellbark hickories or laid them on stumps, etc. The only rule was that the hidden objects had to be partially visible.

On a given signal, we'd send the crowd of kids whooping and running all over the pasture. They enjoyed it and the adults got a respite. For auto travel, be sure to stop at frequent intervals, such as every 50 miles. Let the children have a foot race all around the block. (Coprrtiht br UM HopkUu Srndlcali Inc.

Pollen, certain foods, various sorts of dust, allergy to plants (grasses, trees), even the ordinarily innocuous dust inside the house may be responsible, or the stuffing of a pillow a cause worth investigating if the asthma strikes only at bedtime, as is sometimes the case. THERE ARE quite a number of drugs which, in appropriate cases, help adrenalin, ephedrin and aminophyllin are a few of them, but bear in mind that it is entirely possible to generalize on these and other treatments. The family doctor and allergist, or an out-patient clinic which will be available in many communities, may be able to track down the cause and find the right treatment to prevent the attacks or at least keep them at a minimum.
