When a small amount of solvent is to be used the work can be done Indoors safely enough. If the fluid can burn, just be careful to use it where there are no nearby sources of ignition and don’t smoke or light matches while you are hand ling the fluid. However, when a large job is to be done, such as cleaning an entire dress or a pair of overalls or removing grease from a num ber of tools which may require two or three quarts of solvent used over a period of perhaps half an hour.

Brahman Cattle May Vie With Many Domestic Kine Cattle imported from India may some day compete with established beef cattle breeds in the markets of the midwest, according to many livestock experts. One Nebraska farmer, a hybrid corn pioneer, be lieves Brahmans will be as popular as domestic breeds in the next few years. Com belt farmers scattered thin ly from Nebraska to Ohio are ex- , perimenting with Brahmans and crosses of Brahmans on regular beef herds. Do Brahman beef calves weigh 80 to 100 pounds more by weaning age and dress out two to four per cent higher than the usual run of cattle? Do they make economical feedlot and pasture gains and en dure heat and insects better than other cattle? These are some of the questions to which it is hoped an swers will be found through the studies and experiments being conducted. 4-H Club Champ Gilbert Blakenship, 20, of Yorkville, 111., was named na tional 4-H Club achievement champion at the recent Interna tional livestock Shov% in Chi cago.

MIRROR Of Your MIND I ^ ^ A Baby Won't 'Save' Marriage By Lawrence Gould Safety Precautions Urged in Cleaning Danger of Fire, Vapor Inhalations Are Cited Housewives in rural areas some times find it inconvenient to send clothes out to be dry cleaned and therefore do the work themselves. For this purpose, they may go to •a nearby automobile service sta tion and buy gasoline or to a hard ware store or general store and buy “cleaning fluid.” Gasoline is intended to make motors operate and should never be employed as a solvent because of its great flammability. There are some specially refined petrole um products available with clean ing and degreasing properties aomewhat like those of gasoline but Will having a baby “save your marriage”? Answer: Not if it needs “saving” —that is, if you and your wife or husband are really at odds with each other. In that case, the added responsibility and care will be more likely to deepen the suspi cion of each partner that the other is not doing his or her share. The time to adjust yourselves to one another is before the baby comes, not after. But if you both want a baby for its own sake, planning for it w-ill bring you closer togeth er and sharing the thrills of watch ing it develop will create a lasting bond between you. Should you try to “top” a hard luck story? Answer: No. There’s a more or less unconscious urge to do this which you’ll see especially in mar ried people—as when John comes home exhausted from a hard day at the office, and Mary, instead of listening to his tale of woe, breaks in with a recital of her troubles with the children, meant to prove Can psychiatrists agree on what’s wrong with you? Answer: They can come at least as near to it as other doctors, and perhaps a little nearer. Two Royal Air Force psychiatrists report that a review of 541 cases showed ninety per cent agreement on the commonest diagnosis (“anxiety state”) and concurrence in diag nosing almost two-thirds of all types of patients. The doctors were less unanimous as to the causes of their patient’s ailments, with one group inclined to lay more emphasis on “flying stress” and another—probably the Freu dians—on “predisposition to neu rosis.

Barton W HAT MANY OF US FORGET is that nearly all symptoms of various ailments clear up of them selves within a reasonable time. If symptoms continue, with or with out treatment, for an “unreason able” time, then the cause of the symptoms should be investigated. I have in mind at this time tumor or cancer of the lung, in which the early symptoms may be only a slight cough or perhaps a wheezy sound resembling asthma to some extent. It may be easily overlooked because the early symptoms are so mild. When we think of cancer, we usually think of cancer of the stom ach, intestine, and brain, and the breasts and uterus in women, yet research workers report that can cer of the lung accounts for about 8 per cent of all cancer cases. In “The American Review of Tuberculosis,” Dr. R. Adams states that the three most valuable ap proaches to early diagnosis of lung cancer are: (1) education of the public to consult a physician for any cough lasting more than two weeks; (2) education of the pro fession to inquire for symptoms, to fluorscope (X-ray) every new pa tient, and to advise X-ray films when necessary; (3) stopping the practice of treating cough symp toms and pleurisy without trying to find the cause. Unfortunately, the early symp toms of cancer of the lung are so “ordinary” that they are likely to be disregarded by both patient and physician — cough, pain in chest, coughing up mucous, and slight amount of blood and wheezing. Later symptoms are shortness of breath, collection of fluid in pleural sac (lower part of sac in which lungs lie), severe pain, hoarseness, loss of weight and weakness. The X-ray gives the most valu able information regarding lung cancer, and the next most valu able is the use of the bronchoscope, “which, if handled by a seasoned expert will, in 90 per cent of cares, give the proper diagnosis.” Removal of the section of the lung affected by cancer is at pres ent the only hope of cure. The pituitary gland stimulates growth, affecting the whole body; it stimulates production of milk, stimulates the sex glands to pro duce sex extracts and stimulates the thyroid gland and the adrenal glands. • • • In many mental cases treatment consists in trying to build up the patient physically.

There was argument: Were the Hellenist widows getting their share of the church’s help? • • • Committee Chairman T HE APOSTLES, being called on, refused to straighten the tangle themselves. Let the church elect a committee, they said. First on the list was a man named Stephen. He turned out to be most famous for being the first Christian martyr, but when he fell unconscious be neath that shower of stones, there died no ordinary man. To begin with, he filled the bill as chairman of that Com mittee on Grievances. Not many men, then or now, could fill all three qualifications the Apostles required: reputation, spirituality, and wisdom. It takes a very tactful man to settle a difficulty in which women are concerned; it takes tact to handle any committee; it takes tact to manage an inter-racial sit uation; it calls for wisdom to handle funds. • • • Debater S OME MEN THINK themselves bigger than their jobs. Some men really are bigger, and Stephen was one of these. He spilled over, so to speak; he had even more en ergy and ability than the job called for. We hear . of him debating around the synagogue circuit par ticularly in the synagogues which were used by Jews from other parts of the world. We have no details of those debates, but we know how they always came out: Stephen got the decision. We can guess, from his great speech in the hour of his death, what his gen eral line must have been. Many Christians in Jerusalem at that time had little or no idea that Christianity was actually a new re ligion; even the name “Christian” had not been thought of. They con sidered it a form of the Jewish religion. • • • Scholar S TEPHEN’S SPEECH at his trial (Acts 7) may sound dull to some now, but it was not dull to the audience. No man makes a dull speech on the brink of death. Further, it was that speech that got him killed. His listeners may not have liked it, but they certain ly did not think it dull! The beauty of the speech is that it reveals Stephen’s keen insight into the re ligious history of his people. Speaking without notes, he reviews the history of close to 2,000 years In a 10-minute talk, and yfet brings out the main points. Only a real schol ar can do that, a man who is both historian and prophet. The most important peaks in Israel’s history were -God’s revelations to them; and Stephen shows that these revel ations had never been tied to a house or a book. No institutions and no place is indispensable to God. The same God who had wrought new things In the past had now wrought a new thing in Christ. And the religion of thing in Christ. Martyr S TEPHEN’S AUDIENCE was not convinced. Seeing murder in their eyes, Stephen knew his time was short. In a few stinging last words he reminded them that mur der was an old story in that Tem ple. They had killed prophets, they had killed Jesus the “Just One.” And now—. Now they dragged Stephen out and stoned him till he died. Well, you can stop a voice but you cannot stop an idea. Stephen was first to fall, bnt not the last. To this very year Christ haa his' martyrs, men and women who will die rattier than deny him. You can silence a man but you cannot silence truth. When the world goes against her, the Church should remember that now as tben, “the blood of the martyrs is the seed of the Church.” Good Breakfasts Put Pep into Work (See Recipes Below) Teen-Agers* Breakfast I N THE HUSTLE and bustle of school work and social activities, teen-agers are apt to short-change themselves on the food they eat. Their stomachs aren’t going emp ty; but, considering between-meal snacks of candy bars and soft drinks, the kind of food they eat is apt to be off the track as far as good nutrition is concerned. At this age, the phrase “You are what you eat” is all-important, for personality de velopment, the capacity for work and play, as well as health, are de pendent in con- siderable measure on good nutrition. Also, this is the time when boys and girls are forming food habits that will follow them through life. Let’s consider the first meal of the day—breakfast. By studying teen-age habits in this country, we have turned up the interesting fact that two-thirds of our teen-agers feel that everyone should have a good solid breakfast. But, in this same survey, it was discovered that thirty per cent of the boys and girls in this age group were skimping on breakfast. What causes the gap? Consider the wide range of foods offered in this basic breakfast of fruit, cereal, milk, bread and butter. Canned, dried, fresh or frozen fruits may be used at the breakfast meaL Almost two dozen varieties of cooked and ready-to-eat cereals are available. The beverage might be cocoa, milk, or hot chocolate; the bread could be in the form of sweet rolls, hot muffins, biscuits, waffles, or pan cakes. • • • r R APPETITE APPEAL, a hot bread is a quick and easy treat for breakfast. This recipe for up side down oat muffins is doubly good, too, for it supplies extra nourishment in the rolled oats and the apricots.
