It has been ho ever since the ancient Greeks were spell-bound by the tales of their hero L'lysses. long before there were any newspapers. And it may be observed that such old traditions are r.tiU kept up in modern forms, as men <o«ne home from our recent wars and tell their tab** of valor and endurance.. The newspapers and > magazines of course are still tops i for reading In general. And land Byron's old formula of "love, war ' and shipwreck" still serves as the most highly read subjects.

J drugs as bromide-, phenobarbital end diphenyl hydantoin sodium may be helpful but, according Io Dr. ItusMdl N. DeJong of Ann Arbor.

In some ease* the improvement was spectacular. However, it was not found to be suficieotly effective when employed alone because many of the patient* in whom it was used also had convulsions, so that in these cases it wav found ik>ceasary to use phenobarbital, bromides and diphenyl hydantoin sodium as well. If these preparations were not employed, the convulsion* recurred. When the tridione was used with theae drug* the psyciminolor seizures in a large percentage of the cases werfb almost completely controlled. The given by mouth three time* a day.

Display Captured German Equipment Display Sunday At Fort Wayne Four large army demonstration Irnilure will arrive In Fort Wayne lativ today for a oneday exhibition of radar equipment and captured Gorman jet ■ propnlsion motors taken from an ME 262. A section of the covering material has betti cut away and the vanes which create the terrific force are exposed. The radar unit will lie h big olive-diab trailer with a bl/ !,ough aiiaped antenna on t<ff> which revolves scanning the horizon for planes. Inside (here ate three scopes. The first covers the entire horizon to pick up the planes as they come into range. The other two guide the planes' approach, (hie records Its altitude, the other, its right or left deflection from the rnnway. The equipment is used to guide the landing of airplanes Ir the fog or pitch-dark. This Is a good trick and looks simple if you skip the uncounted miles of wire, scores of dials and the 750 electronic liilh-h which licit the electric waves around to make light pictures of planes In the sky. The set can pick up planes 12 to 30 miles away and follow them to within 25 ft. of their runway. The 25 feet is guaranteed, but generally the plane is picked up within 5 or 10 feet from the runway. Another trailer consisting of captured enemy equipment will l>e shown. Some of the equipment on exhibition are German flight Instruments, un observation camera, periscope, and dlff<enf machine guns. Tlie Norden bombsight Is one of the featured attractions of the exhibit. Other features of interest arc aerial cameras, electric flying suits, n.mouflago anils, fur-lined winter l coats, a foucke-wolfe German | lighter switch panel, and German i radar tubes. The exhibit will be accompanied by three officers and 16 enlisted technicians who will operate and explain the different features to the public. One truck is especially equipped for an office where men may be interviewed concerning enlistment in the army air forces. Those men between the ages of 17 and 34 are eligible to apply for their initial i enlistment or reenlistment. | This will be ifie first showing of former secret weapons to the state ol Indiana, and it should lie remembered that the things seen ir the exhibit, oar enemies would have paid any price for before or during the war. Major Prater, the officer in charge of the army recruiting station in Fort Wayne, announced the exhibition would be shown from id a. m. Sunday, to 6 p. in.. Io the general public, and will be located on the city parking lot near the Armory In Fort Wayne. ■i ■'•'<> Trade In a Good Town — Decatur

CHAPTER FORTY-ONE FRESENTtA*. while I was eating my long delayed breakfast, at Rosa’s almost tearful tnaistence and with a total lack of appetite, Inspector Burry arrived, followed a few minute* later by Dr. Rosen, who beamed at me over his rimless glasses, announced he'd come to preserve the nervous system of a valuable witness, and prescribed 24 hours in bed at the least, as a remedy. I felt so tired and all In In spite •f my long, drugged sleep that 1 agreed readily to the little doctor’s suggestion. Especially when In- * spector Barry assured mo that everything had been arranged for Brenda’s funeral —th* following Monday, to make sure Leighton would be there—and that I couldn’t see her body at the funeral parlor, no matter how often I went there. I even submitted to having a nurse, who was to spend the night in my guest room. I knew I wasn’t Ml and didn't need one. But, to be guarded from all outside interference for 24 hours in bed did sound good to me after toe last two weeks. And so I relaxed gratefully in my pillaws after my visitor*. Including Claire, had left, pleasantly aware of the protective nearness of the smiling, ro-bust-looking nurse who’d materialised as if by magic. Towaad dimwr time Dita rang J «FShe sounded pay and animated, wanted to know Why I hadn’t catted her to rep*rt my reaction to Neal’s performance and great sucecra, and asked if I ware eonte out for to* weak-fold. Her cheertoteM* abMved that Dfck hadn't tdd hsc of our new tragedy, and she’d overlooked the small notice in the papa** about Brenda’s “sufeitte.” But she did know, of some tsoable between JistA and me, and scared me out of my wits by suggesting she'd give NcN a grad lectur* atxAit it . over the phase. “Dick ha* triad al day long to reach her for me, but *he'« always I out,” she complained. I had an Idea that Dick had managed NOT to get Neal on the phone, or had reached her and made her promise to keep quiet about Brenda's death and the nature of our quarrel. But. iuvt to make sure, I begged Dita: "Don’t, pet. Let it lie ’ It's only a small misunderstanding and—you know Neal. If you talk a lot of a thing it looks more important to her." Dita saw the sense of thelftateI ment and agreed, reluctantly, to I leave Neal alone. But I had to lie myself out of an immediate trip to Eimpoint. “No, I’m not coming out this week-end, on account of, I have the sniffles, •’ I extemporized in answer to her entreaties. -Your father-in-law would scalp me if I gave them to you. Nfl, honestly, l’m not ill. It’s just the sniffles. Sure I’ll curae out for a real stay, as soon as my rawe benaves itself again. It's a promise ” Nothing els* happened that day.

He said there were still hopes of further decreasing the gap. first by "still more intensive collar rvafion" of breadstuffs and fats in North America and second by having “every farmer bring every grain of cereal to market."

Friday was a wonderful respite, too, and anything but lonete. Dr. Rosen came before noon, felt my pulse, listened to my heart and ordered hi* medicine discontinued. Inspector Barry looked in several times. Tonio sent flowers he also asked to see me and was told he couldn't, I discovered later. Hunt actually wired rose* and Claire was In and out constantly, with and without reports Bom the office. The climax of the day, however, came late in toe afternoon, when Neal’s Jones. presented herself, in hat and coat and looking the typical English lady's maid, to bring me a letter from her mistress. •T also wish to say goodby, If I may, and hope you wilt soon be well again, Miss Appleboe,” she announced primly, with an expression that said something entirely different Then she bobbed me a curtsey and marched out. And I lay turning to* letter around in my hand, afraid of toe black-ofl-white fury it was sure to contain, and wondering why Neal bothered to put her anger Li writing, instead of just walking out But wh<i after a while I opened It—mainly at the prodding of Claire, who had just arrived to have dinner with me—l had the surprise of my life. The tetter was abort. It nally wasn’t much more thaa a not*And it read: Jane dear: Tve been * big pig, but I promise 1 shall only be a little pig from now on, so please forgive me!
