This new device, now in the advanced experimental stages in the U.S. army medical service graduate school in Washington, D. C., is a Injecmultiple dose tion apparatus which is shaped much like a pistol, and may be used in the future for rapidly inoculating groups of people with shots of vaccines, antibiotics, insulin and others. Research has not yet revealed who first thought of using a high pressure jet to force medicaments through the skin, but Dr. Joel Warren, of Washington, D. C., chief of virus research at the army school, believes that automotive lubricants accidentally forced by pressure into mechanics subcutaneous tissues probably first prompted the inspirahigh-pressu- , tion.

Those who volunteered for demonstration shots were dubious at first, but as the tests proceeded, eagerly began to ask: When can we get all our shots this way?" There are some disadvantages to the jet method. One of these is the occasional failure of the jet to penetrate the skin when it is particularly thick, or is subsurfaced with layers of intradermal fat. A control that will enable the operator to vary the pressure within limits according to the individual being Inoculated is being worked out The Jet Injection method applies only to subcutaneous and intra- dermal medication; Intravenous injections cannot be given in this way.

"It wasn't much of a strike. A settlement, however, sprung up and they named it Leland, By Wright A Patterson AMERICAN PEOPLE have thoroughly demonstrated their appreciation of and belief in the abilities of General of the Army Douglas MacArthur. By their tremendous demonstrations they have expressed their love and gratitude for the services he has rendered their nation. Unofficially, that includes the senators and representa-tie- s in congress. They, too, rendered their unqualified homage to belief in a great man and their his announced policies, when the general addressed their joint session. .Now there remains the offi- cial congressional verdict. Will that verdict. If and when It Is rendered, support the President and his unpopular secretaries of state and defense, or will It support the judgement of the man in whom the people have so enthusiastically expressed their confidence and appreciation? At the time this Is written, 1 need only one guess as to what the result will be. There will be no definite verdict. Congress will constitute a hung jury, regardless of the wishes of the people. Congress, as such, is a partisan political organization. A bare majority in both houses, senate and house, represents the party of the President, and the decidedly unpopular secretaries of state and defense whom the President appointed, and whom he refused to fire. That bare majority of the Presboth idents party, controlling senate and house, cannot afford to repudiate the leader of their party, nor will they censure or vote a lack of confidence in the members of his cabinet whom the people have so definitely denounced. When it is all over, and Congress has had its official say. we will be right where it all started. Except Douglas MacArthur will know as definitely as wild enthusiasm across the nation can express the attitude of the people of the nation, just where he stands in the hearts of the American people. No action, or lack of action, on the part of congress can take that away from him. The President may, if he wishes, accept such a stalemate as a victory for his policies and those of his secretaries of state, and defense, rather than as a vote of partisan political expediency. Such is the way of partisan politics in our United States. Such is the way of our republic of the people who are in control of the government at all times. The only way we can express our displeasure with a President, once he is elected, is to impeach him if he does something that goes beyond his constitutional authority. The people did not question the authority of the President to fire Gen. MacArthur, but they questioned his method of doing it. The extent of such disapproval was evidenced in a radio poll, conducted by Fulton Lewis, Jr., in which he If the line snaps under pressure and a fish "thaaaaaaat big" gets away, it may have been due to improper winter storage and proper repair. In fact, all fishing equipment should be checked carefully each Spring before the active season begins. The time thus spent will be well repaid in peak equipment performance. Examine rods carefully for chips In the varnish, loose windings at the guides and loose ferrules. Ferrules should be gone over with an oily cloth. Rods that may have taken a slight set can be straightened ,by a mild application of beat and gentle pressure of the fingers and flexing of the hands. In all cases, the rod should be broken down, put in Its case and laid on the floor away from heat and moisture. Reel care is also important. Bait casting reels should be cleaned on the interior by use of a toothbrush which will remove grime, dirt and sand particles. The winding device should also be cleaned. All parts needing it should be oiled. Possibly the one item most responsible for lost fish is the leader. If weak or damaged, it will break at a crucial moment Wire leaders that are kinked should be discarded. Synthetics should be tested for stretch and knots. Silkworm-gut leaders should be checked for knots and rust spots. In checking this item, be sure to have an assortment of the proper size and weights. The first few feet of line receive the most wear and should be tested for strength. Perhaps a foot or two should be eliminated. However, if a considerable length has become worn, the line should be reversed on the reel. An old line can often be slpiced on for use as a "filler. The success of artifical baits depends largely upon the attractiveness of the copper, nickel and brass wobblers and spinners. spoons, These should be well polished. Paint can be restored to many lures. Dull hooks should be sharp- ened. As the tackle box Is checked, list after Jim.

AAA BALL yCTNE U RECENT SOCCER A skilled fisherman usually spends considerable amount of time watching a stream before he starts fishing. He has learned from experience that time spent in observation pays off in trout, and saves a lot of useless casting and walking. That same fisherman measures his success by the number of casts he makes per fish, because he considers that the perfect score is a fish on every cast one cast one fish, or five casts five figh and so on. It's impossible to shoot a perfect score for any length of time, of course, but more than one angler can boast of an 8x8 or a 10x19 and on one occasion with wet flies, where two flies are fished on the leader, he may even better a perfect score by taking a double now and then. This is not to say that Lady Luck doesn't have a hand in fishing, because all experienced fishermen a agree that luck is a handy thing to have along on a fishing trip. This?

From that point on through July, August and September we played the best ball in the league. Now we are starting this season with a stronger faith in ourselves than we had at any time last summer.
