Toothpicks May Cause Pains In Stomach, Doctor Says The society did so by circulating an account by Dr. Elmer G. St. John of Binghamton, N.Y., of his experiences with a toothpick which had run aground while navigating the alimentary canal of a 48-year-old man who had been admitted to the hospital with a very "acute abdomen." NEW YORK—(U.P.)—Among other things menacing people today are toothpicks. Bartenders stick them into onions and olives. Women put them into canapes and meatballs. From those places, they get into alimentary canals where they cause trouble. He had been in much pain for 30 hours. X-rays showed nothing. Various things were suspected, but there was nothing to do—since the man's condition was alarming—except to open him up and explore. Only then was a toothpick thought of—when it was found puncturing the intestinal wall. The Medical Society of New York, has, in effect, tipped off the professional that when confronted by what is known medically as "the acute abdomen" and the routine efforts to find out what is the trouble have failed, then the doctor may suspect it is a toothpick. Careless Drivers Should Win Rabbit's Foot, Expert Says By HARMAN W. NICHOLS WASHINGTON—(U.P.) A well-known traffic expert suggests that there ought to be an award for the driver who can violate all of the rules of traffic and still wind up alive at the end of the year. The trophy suggested by L. M. Van Noppen, vice president of a large automobile finance company, is a rabbit's foot, splashed on a field of asphalt. The prize would be an appropriate symbol for the fool's luck that kept the driver alive. There is a method to Mr. Van Noppen's brain storm. The automobiles that are financed by his outfit travel 30 million miles a year, and his company has an investment in them. It hates, however, to see people hurt. Cars can be patched up, Mr. Van Noppen said, but science hasn't figured out how to put a man back together once he has stopped breathing. For this reason Mr. Van Noppen has set up rules in reverse for the no-good who drives recklessly on the highways, maiming and destroying property and life. If an owner of the rabbit's foot on the asphalt gets through his second year, he would get an "acorn cluster" for his rabbit foot, Mr. Van Noppen said. "To show the rest of the world just how low his mentality is." NAUGATUCK, Conn. —(U.P.) Policeman Edward Armonat spotted a stolen automobile two minutes after it was reported missing. The owner, Casimir Lanewski, had to wait another 60 seconds before the machine was recovered. Quick Work If you are interested in not winning one of these decorations, you should avoid ignoring speed limits and joywalking. YM-YW Discuss Religious Beliefs The consensus of opinion of four speakers last night at the YMCA-YWCA all-membership meeting was that the real difference between people is that some professa a belief in God and some do not believe in God or do not care. Speakers included Gopal P. Khare, graduate student from Rowa, India, Hindu religion; Mohamed I. Kazem, graduate student from Cairo, Egypt, Mohammed religion; Dr. David Paretsky, associate professor of bacteriology, Jewish religion, and Francis W. Hurst, Kansas City, Kan., senior, Christianity. The speakers also agreed that the similarity of ethical beliefs is notable within the major faiths. Nothing's Safe WASHINGTON, Ind.-(U.P.)- Apparently even an empty safe isn't safe anymore. A huge safe containing $2,500 was stolen from a local grocery store and later found empty along the railroad tracks. Police returned to the station to get a camera to photograph the scene. When they returned, they found someone had stolen "the evidence." MAYFIELD, N. Y. —(U.P.)—Owen S. Billman is a firm believer in "do-it-yourself." The 34-year-old salesman has built his own airplane from second-hand parts at a cost of only $500. The craft, about a third the size of a Piper Cub, has been granted a certificate of airworthiness by the Civil Aeronautics Administration. Low-Cost Plane RISK'S LAUNDRY Storms Hit East, Colder In West WESTINGHOUSE LAUNDROMAT HALF-HOUR LAUNDRY Assurance that all your clothes will be uniformly clean Shirts finished in just 4 hours Another threat arose on the Gulf coast, where the Weather Bureau issued small craft warnings from Brownsville, Tex., to Lake Charles, La. Another icy blast covered Wyoming and much of Colorado with fast-falling snow. Cold wave warnings were posted as far south as New Mexico and as far east as Illinois. A wintry storm raced up the eastern seaboard today and hit New England with lashing rains and four to eight inches of wet snow. By UNITED PRESS RISK'S LAUNDRY In at 8 and out at 12 The weather's double-barreled attack was already blamed for at least 10 deaths, plus snarled traffic and a rash of highway accidents. Tel. VI 3-4141 10 Deaths Result At Plato, Minn., six teenagers were killed when a Milwaukee Road streamliner, speeding through the rain, smashed into their car. In North Carolina, a plane crashed during a snowstorm, killing three persons, and a duck hunter drowned in a storm-swept river. 613 Vermont After "a fairly stormy convalescence" the man was out of the hospital in two weeks. Two Air Force enlisted men made an emergency landing on a Buffalo, N.Y. high school field when ice clogged the carburetor of their small plane and a mounting number of accidents were reported on parts of the snow-packed Pennsylvania turnpike. Dr. St. John was so exercised by his experience that he went through the files of many medical journals and discovered that he wasn't, by any means, the first doctor to find a toothpick in a patient. A string symphony, made up of delegates to the convention, will play and 1954 and 1955 winners of the State Federation of Women's Clubs music contest will perform. Dean Thomas Gorton of the KU School of Fine Arts is president of the association. The KU Chorale will open a two-day convention of the Kansas Music Teachers Association Dec. 1-2 at Salina with a 30-minute concert. Chorale To Perform At Music Convention He was struck by the fact that of all the "foreign bodies" which human beings manage to swallow, the toothpick seemed the only one which consistently gave trouble. The reason is its length and its sharp ends—it is too long to get around curves and corners and its sharp ends catch easily on the shores, which they puncture or "perforate." should be examined today.
