Check Pain in the Chest

By Herman N. Bundesen, M, 0 NOW and then doctor* see outbreak! of a disorder in which the most outstanding symptoms Is pain in the cheat. Never serions, it is still important to differentiate this disorder from other and more' dangerous ones which require prompt and often, unpleasant treatments and. which in addition, will inevitably cause both the patient and those who love him great anxiety. Most people who have this disorder do not have fever, but every once in a while a patient may have a rise in temperature to I<W or even 103 degrees Fahrenheit Accompanying the .pain in the chest there may l»e sore throat and at 'imes running none This disorder usually does not make the patients : very sick outside of the pain on motion. Many even continue with their work. Lower Chest Region The pain, which may last from 2 to 21 day*, is located for the moat part in the lower region »( the chest, below the armpit. There may be some coughing, together with the bringing up of a slight amount of suptum. X-ray examination shows nothing abnormal, nor is the number of white cells in the blood Increased. According to Dr*. James Hoche and Francis G Hwiddy of Bagland. this condition apparently I*

family fortune, but to the despondent or mcntaiiy-ill person it Is a death tower. Already the thirteenth person has plunged to hit* death from the eightyxlxth floor Why they would go up that high to hurl their Imdies to the pavement below is something that the sane person cannot fathom - Sl— O —l.ll-o'l— '1 111 Governor Gates of whom it was said wanted to be the Republican vice-presidential candidate, is not showing much Interest In the pros-1 pect of getting the nomination. Ills' tiff with Senator Capehart and the fact that Speaker Halleck i seems to have an inside track for a place ou ticket, has cooled the | governor's ardor for the office nnce held by his distfnulshed fel-low-townsman. Thomas R. Marshall. 0 —o — Only two of the Indiana congressmen voted In favor of the bill extending aid to Greece and Turkey, which left them In the 1 minority as the measure passed the House, 287 to 107. The gift of four hundred million dollars Io the Balkan countries may not be the ’ solution to things, but a large | percentage of the people realize 1 1 that this country will be called on ! many times to help faltering naif ions throughout the world After all. it s only money we give them. ‘ for which they can buy food and thus prevent the seeds of communism from growing in that section of the. world. —O—o The Dandelion The dandelion is doomed Shortly it will become as rare as the dodo, because men and women in laboratories have invented sprays and powders that will do away with weeds entirely. Most of, these compounds are not poisons, but food. They work on the prin-. cipit; of feeding dandelions and other lawn pests to the point! where the weeds make a sudden tremendous top growth that is beyond the power of their roots to support. As a result they topple over and die. Because the dandelion and Its j friends are to become extiuce.' manufacturers of power lawn mowers are altering their product.l These powerful devices dedicated ' to giving America well kept grass for home sites, parks and golf courses, used to be equipped with . a sickle bar to keep down weeds. ' New models are to have few of | these special cutters. In away it's too bad about the i dandelions. They are a pretty sight when their brilliant yellow blossoms shine like drops of sun-' shine against the green of a lawn. .Maybe if they become rare, they ■ will be cultivated as flowers. Man-| kind is as perverse as that, and most flowers are only nurtured i weeds, after all.

due to pleurisy, that is, an inflammation of the lining membrane of the chest cavity. In addition. there may be inflammatiou of a small area of thelung It is likely that it comes on following ’ an Infection of the nose or throat, which is carried to the lung either In the air passages or through the lymph channels. The disorder ap- , parently is in no way a serious , one and the patients for the most part recover without any particular treatment, other than perhaps : rest in bed for a few days. More Serious Conditions Other, more serious conditions affecting the lungs and chest cavity which behave in much the same ways are pleurisy as a result of tuberculosis, a typical or i virus pneumonia, and a disorder known as epidemic pleurisy, as well as one known as epidemic myalgia or muscle inflammation. It Is quite evident that the epidemic chest pain is not caused by tuberculosis, in view of tiie fact that recovery occurs so rapid- | iyThus, it is important that when | paia in the chest occurs a com plete examination I>e made, including an X-ray of the chest. In this way the exact cause of the trouble may be determined and the most suitable treatment carried out depending on the condition present

CHARTER THIRTY LATE ONE afternoon about a week after the evening the had ■pent with Kay Winninger and Lex, Sherry came home to find a message on the telephone table tn Helga'a awkward hand, “Mr, Moren phoned—wiU be here in half an hour." Sherry, her heart lifting, flew to the kitchen, the slip of paper in her hand. "Helga, when did he call?" The placid Swedish woman glanced at the electric clock on the wait "About four, it waa. i told him you weren’t here, but that you said you'd be home around four." "But it's almost four-thirty now!" Sherry exclaimed. “He'll be here any minute." "Yes," Helga agreed and went calmly back to her silver polishing as the door swung shut behind Sherry. In her bedroom, Sherry surveyed herself critically in the full-length mirror. She had been shopping, but her softly ruffled white blouse, her black wool suit with its gentle feminine touches, were still fresh and unmussed. She slipped off her jacket and hurried into the bathroom to wash herself, to apply fresh lipstick in a clear geranium red. Back in the bedroom once more, she brushed her russet-gold hair till it shone, then turned it under in a smooth page-boy effect There now, that would have to do. She had just slipped on her jacket when the doorbell rang. She called to Helga. "I’ll answer it" Lex's lean face lit with his friendly grin at sight of her. "Hello. Sherry. I was afraid you might not be home yet" "Barely made It" Sherry admitted. "It’s a wonder <ou wouldn't give a person a little warning.” "Yeah," Lex agreed, "but I’m a sudden sort of guy." She took his things and put them away, then brought him into the living-room. It was deep with shadows until she had switched on the two white-shaded lamps at either end of the divan. “Here, sit down. Would you like a drink?" "Don’t mind," Lex said. He remained standing. There seemed to be some uncertainty in his attitude, a lack of ease that was unlike him. "Bourbon and soda okay?" Sherry asked, moving toward the ceiiarette in the comer. "Or—" “That will be ewell." She mixed two drinks and came over to put One of the tall glasses in Lex's hand. Os one accord they sat on the divan, their legs outstretched Own, their him flu resting on ths cushioned back.

Lex sampled his drink. "Hmmm, very good." Sherry smiled. "I come of a long line of bartenders. Didn’t you know?" They sat there side by side, drinking and talking. Their conversation was casual, punctuated by long, but not uncomfortable silences. The uneasiness Sherry had sensed in Lex when he first arrived seemed to be dissipated. After a while, their empty glasses put aside, they smoked and talked. If Sherry wondered why Lex had come, she put aside the pointless speculation. Probably he would get around to telling her. If he didn't, it was enough just to have him here, sitting beside her. Or, if it wasn't enough, it was better than nothing. Lex asked. *Tm not keeping you from an engagement, or anything?” “Oh, no. In fact, you’re a lifesaver," she told him. "My mother's out of town—New York again on business. I faced a long evening alone—" She broke off, struck by a sudden idea. "Lex, could you stay and have dinner with me? Helga always fixes something nice —and there'd be plenty—" He was shaking his head. "No —l’m sorry. I’ve got a dinner date later. At seven.” Os course. He would have a date. He had a date with Kay, that was it Why else would he come in town. Sherry asked herself. Certainly not just to see her. She was merely a friend, a girl he dropped in to see for an hour or so when he had some time to kill. That was IL That was all of IL And she had no right to feel hurt, to know this sharp upwelling of self-pity. Because Lex had never, by word or act, led her to believe he looked on her as anything but a friend. And, thank heaven, she had had the sense never to let him suspect she wanted more than that Sherry forced a smile. She reached out for a cigarette to hide the fact that it wasn't a very steady smile. Lex held a match for her, then watched the little flame bum for a moment before putting it out His glance was troubled, coming back to rest on her face. “Sherry—" "Yes, Lex?" “Sherry, there’s something I want to tell you That’s why I came early, why I stopped by to see you. It's—something that happened after Kay and I left you that night last week.” Sherry knew what it was. The coldness in her hear* told her, even before Lex went on. before he explained. "Kay and I—weH,

May 12—(UP)—• j Rodney Harding. 22. today main- • tained a stubborn silence on ■ charges that he kidnaped a young I Auburn couple and raped the young wife early Saturday. Harding was returned here late Saturday after Allen county sheriff’s officers arrested him on rape and robbery charges in Fort Wayne. Raymond Staley. 16. and bls wife. Norma. 14, Aubuwii. said Harding forced them Into the trunk of their car late Friday night after they picked him up near Waterloo. They said that after a few hours he ordered Mrs. Staley to ride in the front seat with him while he drove. The young couple said they overcame Harding after Staley lunged through a board behind the seat and hit him with a wrench. During the ride through Allen and DeKalb counties, the Staleys said. Harding roMred them of some money and jewelry, bought gas. and raped the young wife. Al-on L. Bloom, Allen county prosecutor, returned Harding to DeKalb county where he faces kidnap < harges Bloom said that only the alleged robbery and rape occurred in Allen county.

we've got everything all straightened out at last, Sherry." He stopped speaking and Sherry knew she had to say something. "You have. Lex? That’s wonderful." “Yes," be said. Isn’t it? Kay’s decided shell do as 1 want We're going to be married and live tn the country. It’s—what I’ve dreamed of, Sherry, what I’ve wanted for such a long time I still can’t believe it’s real.** Again she knew she must speak. Again she forced words past her unwilling lipa And they must have been appropriate words, for Lex went on talking, telling her about Kay’s giving in, her willingness to submerge her own preferences in his. "Makes me feel selfish in away," Lex admitted. "And yat 1 couldn’t go back to the old life, even when it looked as though I'd lose Kay if I didn’t back down. A man owes something to himself. And when everything in him cries out against the cutthroat scramble that getting ahead in the modern business world amounts to—well, he’s got to listen, that’s all." "Os course he must," Sherry agreed. "There’s so much more to life than just making more money every year than you did the year before, having your name on the door of a private office. Lots of men are realizing thaL Lex. It isn’t laziness, or lack of ambition. It's keeping faith with yourself, getting the most you can out of each day, having dme for things that are important to you.” Somehow, it was easier to talk now, after she’d forced herself to start And once the first shock of Lex’s announcement was pasL she realized that nothing was really changed between them. She had exactly as much as she had always had, Lex's friendship, his honest liking. And if, for a little time while Kay remained obdurate, she had let herself dream that there might be more—well, that was her own foolishness, that was just hope springing eternal. Now she had learned better. Now she would remember. Sherry asked Lex, "When will you be married? hi it all decided?" "In June—the twentieth," he replied. "Kay wants a June wedding. Ail the trimmings, too, I'm afraid." “Most girls do," Sherry said. There was no denying that the thought of Lex, standing straight and solemn before an altar, being united in marriage with Kay, hurt deeply inside her. But as she had accepted it when they first met, so she must force hesself to accept it now, (To Bo Coattaaod)
