Three type* of trouble may occur, namely, Infection, enlarge, mmit or overgrowth of the prostate eland called benign hy perplaaia, and the occurrence of a malignant growth, or cancer In the gland Infections ’of the prostate are common after the age of 50. These Infections are usually long-con-tinued and persistent. The germs which moat often cause the infection are the colon bacillus and staphylococcus. Sometimes streptoeoccl are also present. Other Infections Now and then, a tuberculogj InTeetion may occur. Gonorrheal in faction of the prostate has become less common with the use of the 2 sulfonamide drug- and penicillin since these preparations quickly overcome thia:type of infection. The most affective treatment for other types of prostate gland infactions still continuer, to be massage of the gland. Treatment with penicillin or ts sulfonamide preparatlons evidently has little effect tu overrating the difficulty in a number of cases However, such treatment to by do means uaeteM, nod should be

Steelman has ben given the second and final report of the Inter-agnecy rubber iiolicy committee. The com mlttee. which 1* headed by William L.

The committee urged continued research in the development of new and better types of rubber and said that this research should be handled primarily by industry under competitive conditions. The report added, however, that there is still a need for government partici (Mt Hon and sponsorship of the research. During the war It seemed necessary to exchangt technical information and to permit patent cross-licensing within the synthetic rubber industry, but under normal conditions, these practices prevent free competition, so their early termination was advised. Also recommended was early disposal of government owned synthetic rubber plants, by sale or h-ase to as many different buyers as possible. It looks as if natural rubber may find the artificial product a real rival In the future, provided a few more Improvements are made. <, ■■■ 0—-——Q*--—— —

J. Nugent of Florida. Enlargements of the prostate or benign develops in about one out of four men past the age of 50. In about one-half of the canes, sooner or later, it Is necessary to mierate on the patient. In men past 5o there Is always danger that when enlargement of the gland occurs it may be due to cancer. Hence, there never should be any delay In having the enlarged gland treated. Symptoms Worst There are many things which may make the symptoms of an enlarged prostate gland worse. These include infections, sugar in the urine, constipation, nervousness and sleeplessness, exposure to cold and fatigue. Th? mere fact that the gland is enlarged does not necessarily mean that an operation is needed at once unless there is suspicion of cancer. It may be poaattte by controlling the things mentioned above to allow the patient to go on for several years without operation. However, the danger of cancer must always be borne in mind and the physician will ,\vays make a careful study of wbat conditions are present he decides that surgery need not be employed.

CHAPTER THIRTEEN “WELL?" aald Trent at Charie’s elbow. He waa waiting for her to ■ay something. And her only feeling at the moment was a paralyzing shyness such as she had felt when the door of the hotel room in Victor shut behind them. Only then Trent had taken her into his arms, so gently, so tenderly, that instantly all sense of strangeness had vanished. Now he was standing a little away from her, just looking at her, his hands in his pockets. She said awkwardly, at random, •'Have you read all those books, Trent?" He looked at the books. “Most. Some I had in college. These—” ho indicated a row of shelves, *Tvo picked up In second-hand stores. They are a rather battered lot!" But he spoke defensively and Charie had an alarming impression of them as strange friends of Trent’s whom she must accept She crossed to a window, still feeling self-conscious. Trent followed her, stood next to her, though he did not touch her. "Charie, you’ve seen the place. ... I want you to decide.” He spoke a little brusquely. "Maybe your mother is right—that I ought never to have planned seriously on your coming here. 1 can't see It as

she does—the neighborhood to respectable. I don't consider that Its poverty to anything against It. But you may not agree with tne; you may have the same idea of things your mother has . . ." Charla interrupted him, "Trent, Mother isn't the least bit of a snob!" To defend her mother would Kt off the decision he was asking r to make. If only he'd see that it would make up to her mother, U they lived there! "She's really very democratic. It's only where Flo and 1 are concerned that she wants things.... 1 think it’s because she had so little when she was a child. Even after she married my father, we were awfully poor. He was a lawyer, you know, but be always tried to settle hto clients’ troubles out of court and I don’t suppose be got any fees for that Not big ones, anyway.** Charlo was seizing on an accusation she had heard her mother make, one tune. "That’s why my mother went out and got a job. so that she could give us more." She stopped, disconcerted by the slight twist of Trent's tips, which wasn’t a smile. He had stood staring down Into the street while she was speaking; when she broke off he turned to her. "We’ve probably as different backgrounds, Charlo, as any two people who’ve ever fallen in love! My folks dkto't care that they lived on the wrong sMe of the tracks. My mother still lives these- My father got hto living from them. 1 grew up with the MfgbhMteed

Though my parents gave me a good deal that isn’t paid for in money! For one, making me depend on myself. They had faith in me and lot me know it and I had to Uve up to it That’s about as fine a thing as parents can give a kid. I've realized it more, as 1 grew older.” She put her hand out toward him, panic in her heart again, the feeling of hanging between two worlds. "Trent . . .” her voice shook. He caught her shoulders a little roughly. "But we'll make our marriage work, Charie! Maybe wo took a long chance, rushing into it without knowing each other better, but we’ll catch up on that! If we pull together—and wo will, wo love each other . . ." He broke off, his voice suddenly choked. "Yes. Oh, yes!" Charie drew into his hold, her terror gone. This was the Trent she knew, sure of everything, making her sure. She premit does to him. She whispered, "Trent, Fll . . . Hl come here!” And she felt a new Idnd of happiness saying it, as if, by this yielding, they were more married.

Trent put his hand under tar chin, lifted her face to look Into It "You’re certain about it. Charie?

List Procedure To Obtain Terminal Pay Outline Procedure For Ex-Servicemen Washington. Aug. I’* tl’FI The war. navy and treasury depart menta today outlined for the former enlisted man of the armed services the procedure he must go through to get the terminal leave pay coming to him under the law signed yesterday I y President Truman. These steps are: 1. Obtain from any post office a form entitled "claim for settlement of unused leave” and the instruction sheet that goes with It. I. Fill out the form. If you need help, contact a veteran-* community Information center or a veterans service officer. 3. Swear to or affirm the statements made tn th* form before a notary public or other civil officer authorised to administer oaths. 4. Mall the completed form, together with your discharge certificate or certificate of service, to the appropriate service paying officer listed on the reverse side of the claim form. A pbotostatic copy or an officially certified copy of discharge papers may be substituted for the original. 5. The paying officer will examine the documents and mail them hack to the claimant. Payment will la- made as soon as possible The government cautioned that it was a big Job and would take time. 4. If less than 350 is due the claimant will get a check for the full amount. Payment will be in bonds in multiples of 325. with any odd amount by check, for claims exceeding |SO. 8. All paymenu are to be made at the rate of pay In effect on separation from the service. All da Ims must be filed Uy Sept. 1. 1847. 8. Tho maturity date of the bonds is determined not by the date on which the claim was filed, but the date of separation from service. They mature In five yeans, and bear 2-44 percent Interest. jo. The bonds are now-negotiable.

Trent was coming to the bouse for dinner she had seen it a heavensent opportunity to interfere. And the effort with which she had controlled herself through dinner had been wasted. She was left feeling as she had when Trent Renner walked out of her office—brushed out of the picture. "She seems so young!" punmed i Neil Winslow, pulling the straighr chair she used up to the desk, "She's—almost 20." I "Who is the young man ? Renner, 1 was that the name? I liked his 1 looks—he’s got something, Td say.” 1 Her chatter moved with her fingers as they unzipped the big brief casa, i spread out sheets of paper. "Just a family wedding? I didn’t see any- : thing about Pin the newspapers." Mary Patten closed her fingers : on the arms of her chair ... to 1 fight a sudden desire to unload her ! heart of Its too-heavy emotion. The 1 Impulse startled her at the same time that it swept her, for she real- * lied that in her whole life she never * had bad or needed such a eonfi- ' dante. 1 Her habit of reticence won. "Yea, they were married very quietly. ' He’s a reporter on the Star. Now,” ’ she forced a smile, "what do wo * cover this evening?” 1 Mell Winslow consulted her

Did you know anyone to Stanton?” "No one.” "You were tearing up all your roots.* Mary Patten shook her bead. *T had no roots In Columbus. Or anywhere, for that matter.” Neil Winslow wrote that down. “Why Stanton? I can’t Imagine yopr taking a single step without knowing where you were putting your feet down.” "I did go to the Chamber cf Commerce in Columbus and got Information about several eastern cities . . . cost of living and schools, things like that.

CHAPTER FOURTEEN THE FIRST weeks here. Mm. Patten . . . weren’t you lonely, even a little frightened?" pursued Neil Winslow. Mary Patten hesitated, then said, with a quick intensity, "1 was neither lonely, nor afraid! 1 was happier than I’d ever been In my life. I was . . . free. Couldn't it be . . . human to enjoy that, after 12 years of a marriage that had become empty of meaning?" She had a fueling of having stripped herself to nakedness before this other woman. She was relieved when Nell Winslow asked, "How long was it before you got the job with the Muir company?” This was safer ground. She answered evenly. “As soon as I was settled here, I went tn an agency and they sent me to James Muir's office. He needed a secretary. He was satisfied with the letters I'd brought front Columbus, gave me the position." "An element st luck In that—or destiny!" "Yes,” conceded Mary Patten, smiling. Though it wasn’t luck you got ahead!" “No.” “Probably the same spirit in you that won the medals and things tai school” Mary Patten might have said that It was the need of more money, to meet Flo’s and Charle s tuition in the girls' seminary where she had enrolled them; to pay Nettie’s wages; to keep a small reserve in the bank. But Neil Winslow was quite certain to make those practical motives all one with personal ambition. Perhaps they were—she was too tired to think it out Tonight she felt a shrinking from this woman’s probing. Until tonight it had been much as if she watched an artist sketching in the rough outlines of her portrait but now she could not summon this detachment: the personalitv coming to life under Neil Winslow’s pencil an at once was too close. "Tve dug up some of the stuff that's been written about your career. Mrs. Patten. I can refer to it —that'll save time." Mary Patten said quickly, "I thought this book was to appear as fiction!” Tt Is. But it may not bo too difficult for a good many to recognize the character as you! I'd like my •J®* • V w,u - « tion tor other women to go out and do what you've done." Mary Patten acknowledged the tribute with a very slight smile, for a suspicion crossed her mind that this flattery of Neil Wtastow was a tool eha used, like a burglar's junmy.

since you've lived in Stanton? Men must have been attracted by you—your looks and your brains!" Mary Patten thought of James Muir, but she answered, "None.” Her eyes on Mary Patten, the writer considered this Incredible fact. Then she nodded her head. “Os course, you had your two girls. By 'he way. I’m hoping to meet your older daughter some lime. Is she like Charie?” “No. Very unlike.” But Mary Patten offered no more than the bare statement. Nell Winslow went hack to the lack of lovers. ”1 may have to put a man In the story, to point up a conflict. Someone you'd known al) your life—you never realized you cared for him—then, years afterward . . .” "We meet in our wheelchairs!” Mary Patten laughed. Put the speculation in the other woman's eyes bothered her. She thought, "It's absurd! What am 1 afraid of? I can cal) the book off, any moment I choose to!” Neil Winslow clipped a few papers together, held them out "This is a rough draft of my ■tart . . . Very rough, but you may get some idea of it." 1 could refuse to take them, thought Mary Patten. But she took them, laid them on Zipping her brief ease, Neil said, the table. “IT. read them later.” "I have to go to New York tomorrow, Mrs. Patten. Fll wire you when I’m coming back. It’D be tn a week or ten days, probably.** Mary Hatten bandy managed to conceal the relief that surged up In her. "Yes, let me know." Neil Winslow was gone, but the notes she had left lay on the little table, waiting to bo road. Returning to her chair, Mary Patten’s eyes went to them. For a moment she was tempted to tear them Into pieces; her hand moved toward them with that intent. Then she brought it back, told herself again that It was fantastic to be so disturbed . . . they were only words on scrap paper! She took up the sheets of paper. She smiled with some amusement at the careless typing, a little like the writer herself. She began to read: "Nora Temple sits on the porch step of the small, nondescript bouse that is her home.
