Mrs. Chase, Although Dumb Is Described As Perfect Patient
Her temperature is normal, she has no aches or pains, and she never complains to her nurse. In fact, Mrs. Chase might be described as the perfect, though unusual, patient.
Mrs. Chase is the dummy used for demonstrations of bed-care of patients in the home economics course, Health of the Family, and in the course in Nursing Arts.
She is of average height, but her weight is far below average. She is so light that she can be carried easily by one student.
Mrs. Chase is made from paper-mache, and coated with a waterproof finish. Her skin is flesh-colored and her features and hair are painted. She has jointed knees, hips, shoulders, and elbows, but her wrists and angles are not joined. Her fingers have cracked slightly from numerous bed-baths and they flop when she is moved.
Mrs. Chase got her name from the company which makes such dummies. She came to the University during the war when a course for nurse aides was being taught. She stays in a classroom in Watkins hospital during the school year. In the summer she is wrapped up like a mummy and put away in an attic.
By practicing on Mrs. Chase, students learn how to give bed-baths, make an occupied bed, and make patients comfortable in bed.
The department used to hang her on a hook during the summer but found this procedure was cracking her neck.

Chaplain's Wife Prints Prayers And Sermons
Keyser, W. Va.—(U.P.)—The colorful and pungent prayers which Dr Peter Marshall intoned while chapain of the U.S. Senate are now in book form.
The widow of the Scottish-born clergyman, whose preachments were often found a source of well-founded advice by bickering legislators, has published a collection of his sermons.
It took eight months for Mrs. Marshall to select and edit the sermons from more than 500 of her late husbands' manuscripts. He died last January.
For readability, Marshall often typed his sermon notes in uneven stair-stepped lines and to preserve recollections of his unique and emphatic delivery, the volume was printed in the same manner.

Popcorn, One Of Oldest American Crops High On List Of Favorites With Movie Fans

Washington—(U.P.)—Thanks to the movies, the nation is eating about twice as much popcorn as before the war.
More than one theater owner will tell you that popcorn sates in the lobby at times have been the only thing that kept his business profitable. Movie theaters now sell almost half of all the nation's popcorn.
The rise of movie popcorn vending machines provides a stable year-round market for popcorn. But, as a farm money-maker, popcorn still remains one of the most uncertain cash crops a farmer can grow.
measure the increase in production over the.year. Farmers have, however, produced an average of 247,000,000 pounds during the last six years, compared with an average of only 116,000,000 pounds during the 10 previous years (1925-44).
With stocks high and prices low, farmers last year produced only 105,000,000 pounds. Production probably will bounce up again this year.
Farm income from popcorn keeps roller-coastering. It's up one year and down the next. For example, farmers got a record-high $15,790,000 from their 1945 crop. Popcorn returns fell off drastically in 1946 and 1947. The 1948 crop again brought farmers a near-record return. But the value of the 1949 crop fell off to $4,897,000.
Because of the up-and-down nature of output, it is difficult to
Much of the popcorn is grown under contract. The acreage for production depends largely on the price farmers are offered at planting time. When the price is high, the output usually is large — so large that stocks pile up and the price offered for the next year's crop goes down. As a result, production falls off drastically.

Popcorn is grown in almost every state, but 12 states account for almost all of the commercial production. Iowa for years has been the leading producer. Illinois has been coming up fast in recent years.
