FATHER KEEPS VOW BUT
COST IS SONS' LIVES
NAIIAN, India (UP) Two of the
three persons who set out on a 300
miles crawling pilgrimage to the
shrine of Lord Krishna in Hardwar
have died en route.
During the critical illness of his
two sons, the father vowed that if
the boys survived he would crawl
with them to the Hardwar shrine.
Doth boys recovered from the ill
ness. In July, while his sons were
still convalescing, the father and two
sons set out to fulfill the vow. They
planned to do the journey in 60
stages of five miles each day.
One son died of exhaustion on the
seventh stage, and the other boy
succumbed when he was within 10
miles of the shrine.
Although sui'ering from swollen
knees and limbs the father crawled
the remaining 10 miles. He hopes
that fulfillment of his vow and the
sacrifice of his two sons will guard
the rest of his family from calamity.

AMERICAN MAN NOT FLAT
TERED BY HIS TRAITS
NEW YORK (UP) The "normal
American male" is distinguished by
21 characteristic traits, Dr. John Dol
lard of Yale University believes and
not all of these traits, he admitted,
are by any means flattering to this
'normal American male."
Dr. Pollard has recently made a
study of American males both phy
sically and characteristically to
"bring to bear on the subject of re
search from sociology and psychol
ogy." Concerning the physical part of
the "normal American male," he said
the American's figure the sublim
ation of 100,000 Americans who re
turned from the World war is flat,
chested, round shouldered and pro
tuberant pouched.
Some fo the characteristic traits
that Dr. Pollard emphasized were
individualism, easy arousement tc
vvarlike behavior, expectation to rise
in the social scale, faith in demo
cracy and the competitive system,
and belief in what the newspapers

ONION AND GARLIC WIN
HEALTH OFFICER'S PRAISE
ALBANY, N. Y. (UP) Dr. Daniel
V. O'Leary, Albany health commis
sioner, contends that onions and gar
lic are useful in combating infectious
diseases because of their immunity to
facterial attack.
"Yes, sir, weeping over onions may
soon be changed to cheering for the
onion and garlic," he said. "The
very chemicals in onions and garlic
which bring tears to the cook's eyes
as she prepares the vegetables, are
now found to have germ killing pow
ers." The germ - killing, tear - starting
chemicals have been isolated by Dr.
Richard E. Yollrath, professor of
physics, and Dr. Carl C. Lindgren.

partment of the University of South

DEBATERS WIN ONE TO
THREE LOST AT LINCOLN
From Tuesday's Daily
Yesterday at the law college in
Lincoln, Plattsmouth high school's
debate squad made a very good show
ing against the very able Lincoln
high debaters, by winning one and
losing three. On Saturday at an in
vitation meet held at Geneva, Lin
coln took seven of the eight debates
in which they took part, defeating
such schools as Grand Island, Au
burn, Geneva and Kearney.
As a result of their three victories
and one defeat by Plattsmouth, Lin
coln now has a record of twelve vic
tories in fifteen debates this season,
showing the class of competition the
Plattsmouth squad was up against
yesterday.
Coach Gerald Kvasnicka of Lin
coln has the strongest debate squad
he has ever coached and expects to
win some championships this year.
His team won the district champion
ship of the Lincoln district (of which
Plattsmouth is a part) last year.
In yesterday's competition. Homer
(Jack) Barton and Harriett Case
won one and lost one, while Robert
Woest and John Bestor lost both of
their debates.
The debaters from here were ac
companied by Coach Milo Price.
The opportunity of engaging in
competition with one of the acknow
ledged besb teams in the state will
be of much benefit to the local quar
tet of debaters, who, as previously
stated in the Journal, show promise
of going a long way in sub-district
and district competition this year,
and the fact that they were able to
wrest one decision out of four from
the Lincoln team speaks well for the
ability of the promising youngsters
from our local high school.
JOHN H. TITUS STILL
WRITING VERSES AT 91
NEW YORK (UP) John Henry
Titus, who still writes verse at 91,
and who used the title "The Face on
the Bar Room Floor" for a canto,
often wonders if the confusion sur
rounding the poem he composed in
1S72 ever will be cleared.
. The confusion, he explains, arose
over a title heading in "An Ideal
Soul," described by him as a romance
in seven cantos. It begins as fol
lows: "Astir the pine in combre lay
'Twas a-barmy autumn night
And a-godly lot was there
That 'Oversaw Joe's bar-room
As Court on the square."
Another poem, written later by
Hugh Antoine D'Arcy, and titled
"The Face Upon the Floor," runs in
a somewhat similar vein, as follows:
"Twas a balmy summer evening.
And a goodly crowd was there
Which well-nigh filled Joe's bar-room
On the corner of the square."
Titus has just returned here from
a 5,500-mile swing through the east
and south. He said he had visited
500 bar-rooms in an effort to get a
"psychic delineation" of the present
day saloon.
AUSTRALIA PLANS USE
OF TRAILER HOSPITALS
HOBART, Tasmania (UP) While
auto trailers are used largely for
pleasure in the United States, the
Australian government is planning to
put them to a far more utilitarian
end here.
Present plans call for the inaug
uration of a whole system of trailer
hospitals and caravans. They will
call on all schools, all small towns in
the islands, outlying districts and
even among the bushmen for the
performance of minor surgical oper
ations, maternity cases, and hospital
uses generally. They also will have
dental equipment.
HORSESHOE IMBEDDED
IN HEART OF OAK TREE
PEL MONTE, Cal. (UP) A
horseshoe, believed to be more than 90
years old, was found imbedded in the
heart of an ancient oak tree on the
Del Monte golf course.
The shoe, which old-time residents
here believe dates back to the days
when nearby Monterey was the capital
of Spanish California, was found in
the center of a one-foot thick limb
while the eld tree was beinjr cut down.
It was generally belived that the
shoe was thrown by a horse nearly
a century ago: that its rider hung
it around a branch, and that the limb
grew around it.
CHURCH BELLS OUTMODED
MUNICH (UP) Ilcrr Oberascher,
Munich bell founder, has invented
an apparatus which he asserts will
take his occupation away by mak
ing church bells superfluous. It con
sists of six small metal rods, the vi
brations of which are transmitted
electrically to an amplifier.

POLICE BELIEVE WOMEN
REMAIN MORE FAITHFUL
LARAMIE, Wyo. (UP) "Go to jail
if you want your wife to love you,"
Chief of Police Will Mast advised
when he summed up the opinion of
many police officers concerning wives
mothers and sisters who "stick by"
their men when they get into trou
ble with the law.
"Women are like that plain sen
timental over a no-good man," Chief
Mast said, and pointed out a faith
ful wife carrying candy and cigar
ettes to her husband then in the
local jail. "Almost as soon as we get
some of these fellows behind the
bars, the womenfolk start carrying
cake, candy and tobacco to them.
"A woman will have a man ar
rested for beating her and then
:ten to one the next morning before
a warrant can be sworn out, she will
be around asking to have him re
leased." CO-ED'S BEAUTY STINT
