If any race is more skilled at diplomatic evasion than the Chinese, who have practiced the art for 3,000 years, that race is yet to be found. ——o o Os all the cankers that eat into the soul of suffering mankind, probably none is more devastating than self-pity. No affliction is easier to cultivate. Everybody lias trials and tribulations to bemoan And everybody can look with envy on friends and acquaintances who seem better off. luckier and more blessed. o o Overconfidence defested the Japanese, says "Campaigns of the Pacific War", the new official history published hy the Navy. Their early spectacular successes went to their heads, and they reached out for difficult conquests like India and Ceylon, when they should have dug in on what they had. The grand jurors have made their report, recommending that the third floor of the county hog- 1 pital be opened to patients and that certain improvements be made at the jail anil infirmary. Five indictments were returned by the investigators, along with a request that the Prosecutor continue continue his inquiry into u few other eases. o o Without any solicitation. Adams Post 43 of the American Legion, came through with a 1600 donation to help rebuild Union Chapel church, northeast of the city. While others made friendly jesture in arranging a benefit sale, proceeds from which will la- donated toward rebuilding a new church, the Legion thought It a good Idea to boost the effort. It might be a gwsl plan to have more meetings of the Cliamlier of Commerce during the ynsir, now that rationing and other war-time inconveniences ere a thing of the past.

An Enlarged Thymus Gland

By Hirmin N. Bundesen, M. D. AT totn* time or other nearly everybody ha« l>een puialed at hearing of the unexpected, tragic death of aome new-born infant, attributed to enlargement of the thymus gland. And yet, the situation lx hot hard to wndergtainf once you have ail the facta. The o|M-ning from the throat into the cheat la quite email in an Infant. Thrugh thia opening pass the esophagus, which lead a from fnouth to atomat-h. the windpipe, blood and lymph vessels, nerves and other toMues Here, too, la the thymua gland, larger at birth than at any ether time of life. Since it graduaiy decreases in aiar a» the child grows older. Gland la Large it ia easy to see then, that if thia gland la overly large, ft can produce direct preaaare on other structures in this »amr location, pith each symptoms as shortness of breath, syanosis or a bluish te lhe Ma. Bbtsy breathing, trouble in swallowing or even

to get together and Ulk things over, all bent on helping Decatur a better place to live and work, shop and enjoy life. o o Young Talmadge seems to have the governor’s office in Georgia and the fight between the political factions Is now being carried on by Lt. Governor Thompson. Former Governor A mall passed out of the picture when he relinquished the reins, charging that Talmadge seised the office in a military coup d’ tat. Anyway, Talmadge has the militia and that makes a difference. even In this country. Indiana Representative Gerald Landis will introduce a bill pro j vlding compulsory arbitration of Mrfkcs whiqh Imperil national welfare. Under the proposed measure, jf either side refused to ac-1 erpt comimlsory arbitration the; government would be authorized * to seize the strikelmund plant. We don’t we where that plan will correct anything, for after all plants must run and workers must be on the Job. to get things done. o o Canned bread Is being testedl by the Army Quartermasters I They’ve sent some to Colorado | where they’ re having mountain ' maneuvers and to Alaska. If it holds up it will be sent to Europe. Its’ baked in 4oi. and tins which have their Insides treated with heat-resisting enamel. The tins are vacuum sealed on coming out of the oven. The bread Is said to keep its freshness and flavor. Canned bread would do away with baking in a field kitchen during action. It would be a boon to campers and to rural fam Illes Who live a long way from a store supply of fresh bread. Why wasn't’ canned bread thought up long ago? o o A New Leader Os all the honors that have come to Gen. George C. Marshall, his acceptance of the office as secretary of state Is perhaps the most complimentary and significant. It is well known to all the world that Gen. Marshall is a great soldier. He Imre the brunt of the war as much as any living man. and emerged an international hero. At the age of 66 he might well have rested on his laurels. But when there came a civilian call from the head of the government at Washington, be did not shrink from it. even though, along with growing age. he might have pled that it was out of his sphere. There need be no fear, however, that the military genius will not measure up to his civil office as he did to the military office, or that in his case the military will take undue precedence of tfie civilian. It 1s one of the chief merits andglories of our free American system that we can produce able Americans so readily when they arc needed.

propmtly relieve the symptoms whenever they are due to an enlarged thymus gland. The X-ray treatment has no harmful effect on the mental or physical development of the child. There are other conditions which mar produce symptoms like those of an enlarged thymus gland. These include enlargement of lymph glands Within the chest, heart disease present at the time of birth, blocking of the windpipe, goitre or enlargement of the thyroid gland, an abscess In the baek part of the throat and certain tumor growths in the Windpipes, or laryax, or voice box If. however, it is inspected that the symptoms are due to enlarged thymus and the X ray shows the gland to be enlarged.

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN MARY W/.S in front of the house now, and Philip called her. She looked up. Jhadmg her eyes with her hands. "What, Philip?" "Hadn't you better bring Clarabelle tn before she gets a sunstroke?" Mary wiped the mols're from her forehead and leaned over to look at her doll. “She looks all right." "How about yourself?" Slowly she turned the buggy up the walk and left It at the foot of the steps in the shade. "I AM kind of hot," she admitted when she reached the swing, "Move over, Philip." "You're all In," Philip said, as she curled up beside him. "I sure am. Children are an awful bother." Philip winked at Anne. “What I think. Mary, Anne has asked you to go home with her for a visit. Would you like to?” Mary twisted around and looked at Anne. “Where the castle is, and the spring house, and the well?” "The very place." "I guess so." "Well, that’s that," said Philip with a grimace. “Our graUtude is terrific. Likewise, our enthusiasm.** But he was feeling a great many things besides gratitude. Philip had not been Interested In Dr. Somers' suggestion that he should marry again. When he had thought of marriage, he had thought of falling In love; and he had neither wanted nor expected to be in love again as be had been with Sheila. He admitted that the attraction Anne had for him was different, but. somehow, he wanted it to be different. He thought of what a companion she would be for him; what a mother she would be for Mary; and. with her understanding sympathy, what a home she would make for them both. And he wondered what Mary would think of it He debated ell week whether he should not wait until after the visit to find out; but on Saturday afternoon he stopped by the house and asked her if she wanted tn go with him on a eail he was making In the country. There was nothing indifferent In her acceptance of this Invitation. "Where are we going?” she asked when they were on their way. "Out near Englewood on the Colorado Springs road. What have you been doing all day?" "Well, I helped Mr. Lane pull up bulbs and put them away down in the cellar. He says they sleep all winter like bears and he pisnts ’em again In the spring, and then I helped Mrs. Lane make doughnuts and gingerbread men with hats on, only they looked just like rabbits, and then we had lunch, and then 1 went to the store with Mrs. Lane, and then I picked the asters for Mr. Lane, and he’s awful fymy and waats every single one of ’em rut bar t pefied anyhow, and than X was jurtZ tired X bad to sit down and look at a book." sbouM thtnlr you would ha ve

Monroe, collided on South Second street ax the former was driving away from a parked position. 0 Oechsle Funeral Services Tuesday Funeral services for Mrs. Ixtuise Oechsle. 75. of Conroy. 0.. who died Saturday, will be held at 2 p.m(EST) Tuesday at the St. Paul Evangelical and Reformed church In Convoy, with burial in the church cemetery.

“Yes, only 1 get lonesome when everybody’s gone all ‘he lime." "Would you like it if you and Anne and I had a bouse to ourselves ?’* "You and Anne and 1 live together?" He nodded. “But people don't live together unless they're married, because Mrs. Lane says so." “Well, we could get married, couldn’t we?" “You and Anne get married?" "Would you like that?" He looked at her face, puckered with thought, then turned hia eyes to the road again. "Anne would be my stepmother, wouldn’t she?” "Yes," he said, not having thought of the word before. “My grandma said she hoped Td never have a stepmother, but she supposed I would." He was aware of a momentary sympathy for Mrs. Garrett's natural fears. "What did she say was wrong with them ?" he asked, hoping she had not implanted any serious prejudice in Mary’s mind. Apparently she hadn’t “1 don’t remembefl" Mary said carelessly. “Philip, why can’t WE have a little house—just you and me?” "Just you and me." He remembered the first time she had said that sitting on the bench in Mr. Lane’s garden, swinging her little bare legs. “Just you and me." Had it better be that way? "We’d have to have someone to take care of us," he said slowly. “Fd take care of you, and you’d take care of me." “I'm afraid It wouldn’t work. Maybe we'd better stay where we are." Mary broka the abort silence. "I’d LIKE a little house—and a puppy," she said wistfully. "I like dogs better than cats, don't you?” He nodded abstractedly. There wasn't much sense tn this, he was thinking. Mary didn't know whether she wanted Anne for a stepmother. How could she know? He should have painted a cheerful picture of a home which would have the things he knew she did want He turned off Broadway onto a hard dirt road. He had to keep his mind on Dr. Somers' description If he wanted to recognise the place. There, that must be it ahead of him. A ditch ran along in front, and you drove over a little bridge; but you had to open a gate. It would be simpler to park outside. He stopped the car and turned off the ignition. As he opened the door Mary put her hand on hi* arm. He looked down into her eyes, wide and serious. "Do you WANT to marry Anne?" ' "Yes," he said, realising for ths first time how much. "Well, if, if you really WANT to, I don't gasaw I ears." Ha could not have been more what he wanted. Ho did not know that tt was the firat purely *- bard auuooiajnd planted totoke’
