Diagnosis Difficult to Make

By Herman N. Bundesen. M. O. NOW and then one dines m- will ■limit another so closely that it is «ot always possible iu a given case to uy which Is present. Appendicitis is one of the disorders bavmg such an imitator. <m»which, unfortunately, often doe« aot show Itself for what it h until the time of operation Thus, occasionally when a surgeon operates lor what is thought to be appendicitis in a child, he find* that the appendis is not in tected but that the lymph stand* • within the abdomen are red and swollen. This condition is known as saute abdomta.l adenitis and if the at fected child ia not operated on. hi* sickness lasts at the moot from 12 Io 14 days, after which complete recovery occurs. On the othci band, if the abdomen to opened • the child may develop * severe wt lack of pneumonia. Then a perkwl of three to four weeks may be re guired for recovery.

strike is made If such action fol-' lows. Anyway, for the season at least, it will be better to have a strike in July than in January. Congress, which bad much to way about the strike last year, will have to decide the government's I course. Q-—O A sub-committee of congress has pruned six billion dollars from the budget, but there seems to be dissatisfaction over the items reduced. To accomplish this saving, the congressional pruners had to cut nearly two billions from the armed forces, a point which many do not agree. Trying to give a 20 percent across the board cut in federal taxes is the reason for tampering with the budget and members of both parties differ widely on the method that should be followed. The taxpayer is still waiting. o o— Few will be surprised that the War Department rejected the request of Glenn Davis and Felix Blanchard. West Point's unrivaled backs of the last three years, that they be granted a furlough next fall to play professional football. The War Department's attitude is that Blanchard and Davis are needed in the army, that they studied for this career at govern ment expense, presumably intending to make it their life work. If good football players were allowed time off to make money on the ( side, soon the same request would i come from doctors, engineers and skilled craftsmen, of whom the army has many. And if the army < does not think its own work im- < portant will anyone else? — Q O"" < Speaking before the graduating class of an engineering school. Philip W. Swain of New York, editor of " Power.'' expressed himself vigorously on the necessity of efficient Instruction in English for engineers. Using the , argument most likely to be effective. he stated that from 520.000 I to 3100,000 could be added to the ' life income of most engineers who < I became proficient in the use of i English. He advocated clearness, j simplicity and skill in expression 'as aims in studying the mother ' i tongue. o O I Secretary .Marshall is moving his new effects and personnel to; a massive limestone structure built in 1941 for the War Depart ment. When the Secretary was General Marshall aud chief of staff, his office was briefly in this building until the army overflowed to the immense Pentagon. The new home of the State Department. because of its original purpose, has a warlike atmosphere with a large mural of guns, gas masks, bombers and the like guarding the entrance foyer, a contrast with the old ornate building being vacated.

server to suspect that abdominal adenitis is present. In addition to the fever, abdominal pain and sore throat, vomiting occurs in about ' half of the cases In many instances there will be abnormal sounds heard at the base of the lumen during breathing. The fever Is usually higher than in cases of appendicitis. Then. too. there Is often no increase ia the number of white veils in the blood such as occurs in appendicitis. Often the child feels sick for several days and possibly has a sore throat before the abdominal pain develops RsMmbles Scarlet Fever The child may have symptoms | which resemble scarlet fever with! flustuu* of the face and redness of the throat. There may be as increase ia the rate of bn-athlng The abdominal pain is usually like ■ that of colic. There may be tender I boss almost anywhere in the abdo I men but most often In the right side which again confuses acute abdominal adenitis with append! ettis. i The erect cause of acute abdom-1 i inai adenitis as yet has not been i determined.

CHAPTER FORTY < WHEN Sheila finally wrote, she wasted no tune on preliminaries. "Bob and May are staying out here late tills year, and I’ve decided to stay with them. I'd rather go back and forth than try to sleep tn town in the heat. 1 want to keep Mary as long as we re here. She has Joan to play with and is having a grand time. She is feeling fine and swims like the cutest little fish you ever saw. Bob keeps an eye on her just as ne docs Joan, so • you needn't worry about her at alt" "It's her way of claiming Mary," Philip said after a short silence. "It would at least establish a precedent. If this summer, why not next?" It seemed reasonable enough at that, Anne thought. Certainly from Sheila's point of view nothing could have oeen more reasonable. * "It's the usual thing, of course,” ' she said quietly. “Yes, but ’ don’t want it that way. 1 told Sheila I didn't want Mary shunted bac' and forth between us.” “And yet." said Anne, forcing herself to admit the fact reluctantly, “she has some rights." "She hasn't legally. She agreed to let me have custody in order to get the divorce. Oh, If she got mad she could probably make troub'e. get the case reopened, but 1 don't think she will She has some sense of justice; and I think she's a little too honest to put on a sentimental mother act in a courtroom." Anne was silent. She doubted that Sheila's sense of justice would stand in the way of anything she wanted: and It rather annoyed her that Philip should think it would. But she was on her guard now. She would not draw away from the discussion a second time She knew It was not easy for Philip to talk to her about it. and she was determined to meet him half-way. Presently she became aware of Philips eyes fixed on her questloningly. 'You should have something to say about it. Anne. What do you think?" But it was even harder than she had thought to put her feelings into wonts. "It does seem to me that if Sheila wants Mary in the summer, she has a right to have her. But I—" she stopped. "But you'd rather have her all the time ‘t you're to have her at aIL Is that it?" "Yea,” she said gratefully. “Than I think I’M write Khrila that I *hall expect Mary home wt.cn the two weeks arc up." And if Sheua didn't send her—? Wen. Anne thought, they'd worry about that when they came to IL Sheila's answer wa* wired and brief. "If you want Mary, come and ret her."

come to some kind of understanding with her." Anne was not sure hat he was right either. But neither was she sure that he did not welcome the chance to see Sheila again. S.-ie made one last attempt. "How arc you going to find the time?” "I'm sure I don't know,” said Philip. “But I'll have to manage ... somehow." see Philip turned off the highway into the familiar road that wound up through Merrimac Forest. He and Sheila had come up here so many times that it was the nearest thing to coming home. He wondered if Sheila would be here now. Probably not. Probably she had gone back to work. There was the cottage. With a quick twist of the wheel Philip brought the car around the last steep turn, and pulled up behind Bobs car parked tn the drive. Someone was home, at least "Hi. Philip." May Roberts was running down the steps. "Sheila said you might show up today." If this was home. May and Bob were the family. They kissed warmly, and May tucked her arm in his. “Come downstairs; it's hotter than hades up there. Are you cooked ?” “Just about. I drove all night, but of course the tail end this morning was the worst How's everybody ?" "Fine Sheila went back to work this morning. She drove Bob in. Mary and Joan are out in the woods hunting wild flowers. They have got Raada with them." "Sounds safe enough.” His eye fell on a small bicycle standing against the porch. “That the one Sheila got her?" May nodded. "Isn't Sheila the limit? A bicycle for a baby like her!" They went down the steps to the Mg screened-in room under the cottage. It was much eerier than the outdoors, but still It must have been nearly a hundred, Philip thought. May was hack almost Immediately with tall glasses. “If we'd known yov were comfne. Bob would have driven in, in his car. and come horn early. Why didn't you let us know?" “I thought Sheila would be expecting me. Did you see her telegram?" May grimaced. "I heard her telephone it in Are you taking Mary back ?" "Yea" He studied May's face, suddenly turned thoughtful. “Mary may not want to go.” she said. "No? Well. I can't help it If she doesn't.” He put down tua glass. "I euppose you're on Sheilas side?" "No. on yours." "Well, that s a break. Maybe you can help me make Sheila sec ran-

It Sheila kept her mueh longer, you'd find you had a pretty spoiled child on your hands. I'm afraid.” "What do you think Sheila will do?" Philip asked. “Oh, I don't think she'll do anything. I think that telegram was partly deviltry, and partly hope that you couldn't come and would just let it ride." “Mary doesn't expect me, does she?" “Oh no; she hasn’t an Idea." The possibility that Mary might not want to go home with him had never occurred to Philip. But ne saw May's point And May naturally assumed that Mary’s stepmother didn't make that much fuss over her. He wondered what lihciia hr 1 satd about Anne. “1 think." said May, as though she had read his thoughts, "from 'what Sheila and Mary both have said, and from what I've seen of Mary, that Anne must be a lovely person." "She is," said Philip. “Oh. here come the children I now." May said, looking past him Philip turned to see the little girls coming in. their hands full of flowers. “Hello. Monkey “ Mary stopped dead. Then, brushing past Joan, almost knocking her down, and scattering flower* as she came, she flung herself on Philip. “Philip! When did you come?” “Just a little while ago,” "Did Anne come?” “Na. She's waiting at home for you. with Micky " He kii»ed her, and then raising his head, he met Joan's solemn | brown eye*. “Oh, helio, Joan. I I missed you when this cyclone hit me." He held out hia hand, and sh took it gravely. "It’s been a long time since you were here." "So long 1 thought you'd have forgotten me. Where is Raada?" he asked her. "She brought us heme, and then went off by herself." “Why didn't you bring Micky. Philip?” Mary demanded. “Well. I never thought of it. for one thing. Anyhow, Anne nceda some company with both of us gone." “Did you come to take me home?" “Yes. Ready to go?" "We’re not right now, are we?" T*o pairs of eyes were Ax..l on him He knew May was watching besides. “Oh. not until tomorrow." He tried to make it sound quite far off. “Crx’dn't we stay just a little longer?" He shook his head determinedly. “I have to get bark." “You HAVE to?-
