BY MARSHAL OTEY WALKER
Reporter-At-Large for The Savannah Daily Times
PUBLIC AUDITORIUM, CLEVELAND, 0., June 10.—Well,
people, I am at last in the middle of the Republican national
convention and when I say “middle,” I mean just that.
You have no idea what a reporter like me has to go through
with for the privilege of sitting in this hall, entirely surrounded
by 14,000 fellow human beings. Compared to me at the moment
a canned sardine is just another Robinson Crusoe suffering from
loneliness.
This morning I went up to the hall and asked for my ticket
—“Otey Walker, of The Old Home Town.” Well, sir, it seems
a mere matter of only 17,832 othar Walkers had also tried to
get tickets.
“Are you Petronius K. Walker of East Bicycle, Ark.? Or Dr.
G. Caliope Walker of Sauerkraut Center, Wis.?” the girl at
the ticket desk demanded. I also had to confess I was not At
torney Quibble Q. Walker of Long Neck, Ala., or K. Tutwiler
Walker of Two Boils, Tex.
Then, when she finally got it right, she started to quizzing
me proper. She fired so many questions at me that I’ll bet
right now she could write “The Life and Times of Otey Walker
With Footnotes’*’ in 12 volumes. I had to break down and con
fess all my secrets —from my uncle’s third cousin’s middle name
to my favorke breakfast food, with cream or just plain, sugared.
Anyway, I got my ticket and got in.
I’m sorry I can’t give you the inside dope as to who will
be nominated. I thought I had a good lead when I saw two big
shot politicians in a whispering duel near the speakers’ plat
form. I sneaked up and listened. But they must have been
talking in code for I didn’t understand a thing they said.
“I always use a jigger and a half,” said one, “then enough
seltzer to fill.”
“A dash of lime will give that extra dry touch,” said the
other. “About four of those and you think you’re Haile Selas
sie on horseback.”
I guess I gotta study up on my codes.
(The balloting is about to begin—and Otey will be in the
thick of it. Don’t miss his next dispatch.)
—
Let this oe a comfort and sugges
tion to you men: The shrewish tem
per of his wife, Xantippe, drove
Socrates to spend most of his time in
the streets and markets of Athens.
He spent his time talking, and his
talks, set down by his friend Xeno
phon, have made him immortal as
philosopher and teacher.

ACCIDENTS CAUSED
BY AUTO DOOR
DR. CLENDENING TELLS OF
INJURY RESULTING
FROM HANDLE
By LOGAN CLENDENING, M. D.
In line with the campaign for
safety in automobile driving, it is
well to call attention to the various
means by which automobile accidents
are caused, and the automobile parts
involved. Many of these accidents are
minor, but at any time they may be
come serious, or even fatal.
Topping, in 1933, drew attention to
a peculiar accident called "traffic
fracture of the elbow.” This injury
befalls the driver whose /.'otrudlng
left elbow is struck by a passing ve
hicle. The injury almost invariably
results in serious disability.
The projecting objects from the au
tomobile are the cause of a particular
group of accidents.
The automobile door handle is one
of these projecting objects which has
had cluster about it a peculiar group
of injuries. Sometimes these door
handle injuries are not only serious r
but bizarre. For instance, a man ad
mitted to an emergency hospital had
the history that while riding a mo
torcycle he had collided with an au
tomolslle, and the door handle of the
car had been driven through his skull,
burying itself within his head. It had
broken off cleanly from its attach
ment at the door. Prompt operation
saved his life and today he is able
to work, although he has lost the
sight of one eye.
Walker Struck by Door
Another peculiar case was that of
a man who was walking along the
highway on the left side of the road,
facing traffic. A car passed him
traveling at rapid speed, and as it
did so, the door handle alone struck
him, and embedded itself in his arm,
breaking off from its attachment to
the door. The X-ray showed the door
handle embedded in the bone.
There are a number of reports in
medical literature of automobile door
handle injuries. "A casual glance”
says one of these, ‘‘at a row of pass
ing cars cannot but convince one of
the potential danger of this project
ing piece of metal. In the recent
streamlined models is to be seen
many a door handle that is little
short of a spear—truly a vicious
weapon—directed toward any victim
who hiay chance to be in its path.”
In the engineering of automobiles
it is suggested that two improve
ments be mande in the handle: first,
a handle withov 1 . sharp projections,
such as the oval ones on older mod
els, and second ,the handle that lies
either close against or is countersunk
within the side of the door.
Questions From Readers
H. E.: “I am a boy of 15 years and
I would like to know what my weight
should be if I am 5 feet 7 1-4 Inches
tall. Also what the height of a 15-
year-old boy should be. Please tell
me how to gain weight. I weigh 135
pounds.”
Answer: Your proper wright is 130
pounds according to tables. Therefore,
it is not reasonable that you should
expect to gain any more, but remem
ber, as Benedict says, that the aver
age is not necessarily the normal, and
heigh and weight tables show only
averages. A difference of 5 or 10
pounds either way is not particularly
important.
E. O. W.: ‘ Will you please give in
formation in regard to the dietetic
and medicinal value of garlic? Is gar
lic, in any form, of any value as an
intestinal antiseptic or for stomach
dr intestinal disorders? Would garlic
be an irritant to the mucous mem
brane of the gastro-intestinal tract?
Would garlic definitely lower blood
pressure and if so. would it be con
tra-indicated in a low blood pressure
case?”
Answer: Garlic was formerly used
for the treatment of blood pressure
but given up because it seemed to
have no action. Much has been
claimed for it as a stom chic and
stimulant to digestion, but these prop
erties are probably ascribed to it on
account of the odor. It has no irritat
ing properties.

by a cigarette tossed from a passing
boat.

gested that any girl who drives a car
with one hand and smokes a cigar
ette with the other should have her
license taken away. Cardinal O’Con
nell also had a word for modern
styles. He urged the girls to be mod

“Don’t copy the crazy fashions
that women are wearing today,’ ’he
said. “These pagan styles are shame
ful and disgusting.”
