Congressman Gillie Is tolling laboring men I bat tbe lax withheld from their pay envelopes is ton large and promises relief if a Republican congress is elected. I He is probably "getting his peck out'* for he will find It a very difficult matter to reduce taxes without repudiation. Tbe average laboring man is smart enough to know that if he doesn't pay it one way be will another and that the plan to pay their share weekly is perhaps the easiest method that can be devised. O —0 Sport and Tolerance An amateur baseball game was staged in a mid western city by members of the Al Birst Grotto. Masonic order. Protestant, and the Knights of Columbus, Catholic fraternal society. Gate receipts were divided equally between the two associations' welfare projects. A cheering throng of SO.uoo paid the admission price cheerfully and gave every indication of feeling they got their money s worth. It is doubtful if anything like this Catholic-Protestant affair would have been possible a generation ago The world has progressed a lons way toward learning that * men of good will" exist in all camps The field of sports, particularly the uon-professioual kind, is a great common denominator in America. The sheer Joy of the play promotes understanding and good fellowship among participants as well as onlookers. Political Professors Professors are sometimes thought of as not being practical men, but Connecticut is fond of English teachers in public office The new Democratic candidate for governor. Lieut. Gov. Wilbert Snow, teaches English at Wesleyan University, incidentally he is j running against his obi buss, J. L. McConaugbty, former president of Wesleyan. Snow’s last Democratic precedecessor a s lieutenant ■ governor, Odell Shepard, was a Trinity College English professor, known for bis life of the Concord philosopher. Bronson Alcott. Both Shepard and Snow are following in the footstep-' of Wilbur L. Cross, long head of the Yale English deport inent. Cross entered policies after reaching the retirement age at Yale, and took to it so well that he became the first Democratic governor in many years and was reelected three time, a modern record for Connecticut Having bad such good luck with, English professors. Connecticut' might see what she could do with teachers of government. New Jersey had one who did so well that the nation took him over. His name was Woodrow Wilson.

symptoms of these lung infections . : include cough, the bringing up of , I sputum. perhaps the coughing up ' of blood, pain in the chest, fever, rapid pulse and loss of weight. No matter how prolonged or sevore these symptoms may be it must be remembered that tuberculosis is only one of the possible causes. Other causes include lung tumors and Infectious besides tuberculoste. Tubercle Germs The absolutely certain method I of diagnosing tuberculosis is to find the tubercle germs in the sputum. Os course. there are other things which may make the physician suspicious that the disease is present, such as the findings in the X ray plate of the lung. It is tree that tuberculosis to elderly persons may not be as severe as it is In younger ones. However, the germs may he passed on from older people to young adults or to children and the germs are Just as capable of causing severe disease in these young persons as are germs acquired from some more acutely infected individual. All persons over 60 years of age who develop symptoms such as those above mentioned should, of course, be given a complete Mamination, including an X-ray of the chert and a search b»r the tsborcuiosto germa to Uw sputum.

CHAPTER EIGHT “YOU,” SAID Madge accusingly, “what do you mean, holing up on your bill? You ought to be out having a very giddy time.” "1 ought to be out,” corrected Abby somberly, “doing something worth-while.” “Weill” asked Madge. Abby tasted a sandwich. She said.

usefulness, the secretarial work on the book he might never finish, the occasional mission with which she was entrusted. Madge said. “Your father sounds darned selfish to me.” Barry appeared with a fistful of sandwiches and a drink. He eat down on the end of his mother's chair and set the glans on tbe flags He said cheerfully. “If I were her father I'd be selfish, too.” Abby looked at him gravely She had known very tew young men. and only two well—Craig, familiar, comfortable; and a lad tn the office of the law firm that attended to the Wallace business affairs. Thinking of him, she felt a little sick. “He,” said Madge, indicating her sen, "has a wonderful Uno—inherited,” she added with complacence, 'from me.” Barry regarded his mother with affection. She was crazy as a hoot owl and bo didn't always approve her taste in husbands, but was very fond of her. She gave him his head. She had never tried to devour bbn Ho said. “Monkeyface, 1 sometimes wonder bow you sver produced such a beautiful, healthy, normal and intelligent specimen as myself.” “WeO,” said Madge modestly. “It wasn’t easy, but I managed. Os course,” she added, “I bad help “ Barry laughed and Abby smiled, with constraint Madge looked at her, and ratsod her eyertrowa She said, “We've shocked her!” “No.” said Abby. She was not easily shocked. If she was innocent she was by no means Ignorant No girl who had gone through the various boarding school mills could remain Ignorant But her contacts with peopls like Madge Duncan were few . . . and most of them, through current fiction. Sbe read everything and anything, avidly and without discrimination. Her good taste and common sense were often affronted, and her natural fastidiousness. But abe was not shocked. She was, however, bitterly envious ... of Barry's relationship to his mother, ths easy give-and-take, the complete naturalness, the affection. Barry said, “Finish your sandwiches. We’re going for a walk.” Madge asked, “How do you know •he wants to?” “What difference does Uiat make?” inquired her eon faintly astonished. Abby Mt Ms bands on her wrLts again. pulling her up. He warned, Doot stop on my glass ” From the comer of her eye she saw Emerson coming toward them with tbe coffee. She said, “But . . .” “Yes can always drink coffee," •aid Marry. "It’s in a thermos. It win keep warm.” His tone implied that he wouldn't, and she found herself walking away with him. They turned the comer of tb* tree windbreak, the pod vanished, and ths voices receded.
