In addition, a few storage racks and inspection tables were rearranged to permit a smoother flow of work. Two crucial but low-paid employees who operated a pipe straightening machine were given raises from $3.70 to $4.07 an hour.

...years that thigh-length elastic stockings aid in controlling clot formation. Now, in the Archives of Surgery, a research team at the Medical College of Pennsylvania and at the Philadelphia Veterans Administration Hospital provides confirmation. The investigators used elaborate Doppler ultrasound instruments to measure the rate of blood flow in the legs of volunteers, with and without stockings. They found that a well-fitted stocking, tight at the ankle, not too snug at the thigh, markedly increases the movement of blood, thus reducing the risk of clotting-and of embolisms...
