That lets them know where they stand and that our government is in earnest In its fight against the spread of communism in Europe. o o One of the meanest thieves in the country stole a leather brief case from the blind man who operates a magazine and candy stand in the Indianapolis Federal Building It contained his records in Braille. Such a thief Is as low as the one who steals from a church's poor box.

A man as experienced as he in government should have known what constituted fraud.

Methods Used To Relieve Pain in the Aged

By Herman N. Bundeaen, M. 0. PAINFUL disorders are very common among elderly people and while It la not always possible to get rid of the disease. the doctor has a great many ways of banishing pain and making his patient comfortable. He has a number of drugs at his command, including those knnrwn as opiates or narcotics. Dirs Emanuel M. Papper and Emery it. Rovcnstlne of New York City believe there are even better means of freeing patients frond pein They are of the opinion that opiates make the patient drowsy and depress the breathing, both of which are bad for the aged, different Methods Instead, they suggest a number of different methods for use against pains of variousorigtns. For Instance, if pain is due to spasm of the blood vessels, they believe a preparation known as demerol Is useful in relieving the difficulty. But it should only be given under the doctor's constant guidance. This preparation relaxes the muscle In the walls of the blood vessels and has a pain-relieving setion This preparation also may be us«s prior to the administration of an anesthetic when an operation becomes necessary. Passage of pain sensations over the nerves may be blocked by the

Chamber of Commerce, or refusal if It is not given. e Cleveland apartment house owners do not want much. Their organization has just asked Congress to permit an Immediate rise of 15 per cent in rents and further raises of five per cent every six , months until rents "reach an even keel with people's incomes." It is true that many landlords have suffered from rent controls. But an overall rise of this kind is more than the traffic can justly bear. Returned Gl's will particularly appredate this consideration for tenants' interests. The last of the school commencement exercises will be held Friday evening at the Decatur Catholic high school when a dass of thirty high school and twentyeight eighth grade graduates will receive their diplomas. The Rev. John A. O'Brien. Ph. D,. professor of apologetics at the University of Notre Dame and one of the leading educators and Catholic writers in the country will deliver the address. Dr. O'Brien will discuss. "The Challenge of a Changing World." Friends of the graduates are anticipating a most happy evening. o—o The first English settlement in America, at Jamestown. Va. recently celebrated its 340th anniversary. Although none of the original buildings remains, the oldest being a church tower whose date may be anywhere from 1639 to 1647, the visitor Is sure to thrill at seeing the spot where American civilization began. Everyone has heard of Pocahontas and Captain John Smith, but not so many of John Rolfe. Pocahontas' husband Rolfe's great achievement, was that he got the colonists to work. ( Not only did Rolfe start them to farm, but In 1612 he perfected a process for curing tobacco, the crop on which Virginia s prosperity long depended. o o No comment is needed or the following figures, which are quoted editorially in The Indianapolis News, leading Republican paper in the state. One of Roger Budrow's business stories dealt with an Indiana banker whose customers are mostly farmers. The banker explained that these farmers have an average of between $3,006 and S4.WO on deposit with bis Institution . . . ‘Some ordinary farmers have SIO,OOO to $20,000 to their accounts,' said the banker, 'and many have bought land, fixed up their buildings and added equipment in the last few years ' "This is additional testimony supporting the fact the Hoosier farmer has become a successful and substantial business man. It is a far different picture than in 1933 when Democrats came forward with a constructive farm program.

When a patient's age makes ■ an operation for cutting nerves • unwise, blocking of the nerves : with suitable drags may relieve pain for several months or more. i For example, if the patient is i suffering from angina pectoris, a condition in which there is severe > pain around the heart, injection of ' certain nerve passageways in the • upper part of the spine with alI cohol may be effective in bringing relief. Facial Neuralgia Likewise, injections may give relief for many months In cases of facial neuralgia when operation for catting the nerves might be hazardous. These Injections may be repeated when necessary. Pain in the bones may also be relieved for the time being by injecting anesthetic solutions, especially when the pain Is due to inflammation of the tissues around the joint and spasms of the muscles. Pain due to blood vessel spasm also can be ended permanently by Injections of local anesthetics into certain nerve pathways. Blocking of nerves with alcohol Injections can also be employed in cases of cancer in which operation for removal of the growth is not possible.

SYNOPSIS The wedding nt viraeioun Diane Tarrail to Rill Arden, aerioaa yaaag lawyer, waa aa Important event to Grand harbor aueiety, though tome et Ito more reaeervatlre membera doubted the wisdom of the groom's eholco of bride. Bill belonged to one of the town’s eldest families, while Diane's father, wealthy J. Emmet Tarrefl, and Paola, her step-mother, were tempers tire newcomers, with little or no backgroead. It was rumored, 100, that J. Emmet had tome by bls huge fortaae rather questioaably. Among the gneets wm Page Winston, who had been to lore with Bill store childhood. Diane, ■boat to throw her bridal bouquet, saw Page quietly standing to the background, and deliberately tossed the ■ewers to her. CHAPTER TWO PAGE WINSTON picked up the flowers, held them out with • brave show of triumph. No one, NO ONE should know how her fingers shrank from touching them! She accepted the congratulations proffered her. “Oh, yes, I’ll be married within a year, won’t IT** But she could not watt with the others for Diane and Bill to appear again, ready to go off; she slipped into the library and on to the deserted terrace where she sank down on a cushioned divan, breathing painfully. "May I sit down with you?" A strange young man stood before her. She was startled. She had not heard anyone come to the tearace. “I’m only waiting until my family are ready to go,” she answered ungraciously. He was not rebuffed. He sat drwn next to her. "We must surely have been introduced to one another inasmuch aa we're guests at this affair.” Page shrugged slim shoulders. "There weren’t any introductions —no one counts tonight except Diane!” A muscle at the corner of her lip quivered a little. The man touched the flowers on her lap with the tip of a long finger. "Don’t these count now for you? Isn’t there an old superstition—" Color rose on Page’s cheeks. ’"They mean this—Diane thought it was awfully funny to throw them at me! Just too definitely funny! She laughed—" "Yes. I heard her. I saw your face when you picked them up. I was interested in the little scene.” "And you followed me here to satisfy your curiosity,” Page charged indignantly. "I suppose 1 did." The man admitted it without any hint of apology. He regarded Page more intently. She had the coloring he liked, Mood done under her skin, a fine sensitiveness in the lines of her fhce. He realised, with a little shock of surprise, that gt last he was finding what be always was looking for in the girts he met Brown eyes, too, warm and unfathomable under straight brows. Thick, brown hair, with a soft wave in it. In his pleasure his voice took on ar. intimate tone. “You see, until that moment Fd been bored. Nothing was happening out of the ordinary—”

“Except,” Page broke In with unguarded bitterness, 'that Bill Arden was marrying—" The man’s hand fell on hers where it crushed the flowers under it “Don’t finish,” he said quickly. “You'd be sorry afterwards." Page shrank back against the cushion behind her. “I must be crazy!" She drew a sharp breath. “I certainty am being obliging and satisfying your curiosity.” He took a cigarette from a somewhat shabby leathe case and lighted it “On the contrary, I And it growing. Perhaps I am influenced by a very definite dislike of her sort but I consider it strange a fellow like Bill should have chosen the much-publicized Miss Tarrell when you—" “It’s my turn to warn YOU not to finish," Page laughed, a little shakily. "You might be sorry afterward.” Then she sobered. "It isn’t strange at all—do you know Diane?" "I met her for the first time tonight I came to Grandharbor only two weeks ago. To go on the Post I'm one of that breed—" “You’re Rufus Kent!" Page cried with warmth. “Bill told me—" Now she took him in, eagerly, his long-legged build, the high, bony brow and deepset eyes, the thin humorous curve of his Ups. Eight years back Bill had begun telling her about Rufus Kent He and Bill had been roommates In Harvard, their first year. They'd been friends throughout their college course. Bill had spoken of him after reunions. She put out her hand. This was sharing something with Bill. “We're glad you've come to Grandharbor, though—” her face grew a little puzzled. "Weren’t you on one ot the New York papers?" "Yes. But there were inducements here," He did not explain what they were. He leaned a little toward her. "Now hold everything while I search my memory. Your name’s somewhere in it I have It! Page—Page Winters?" “Winston," she supplied. "Well, I was close. And I should have remembered your face. It was on Bill’s bureau all through our freshman year. I used to envy Bill, having a girt who looked like that You were in riding tilings—” He stopped, suddenly conscious that that was • clumsy thing to say at Bill Arden’s wedding to another girt He was contrite, too, for he saw a dark pain In her eyes before she averted them. "We were talking about Diane," rhe said, a little hurriedly. “Diane’s got something -charm isn't the word, for It’s stronger than that Zest, perhaps. It is. Everyone litas tar!" "You do?" Rufus Kent’s brows lifted a little. •Yes. We*rs old friends. I knew her in schdol I introduced her to BUL I am not going to let wftat happened tonight make any difference." She knew he waa thinking she wanted to hang onto Bill. Which was true; at any cost she intended to hang onto the friendship she d had with Bill, as far baek as she could remember, She'd have that

if not the drcam she had cherished for awhile. But she could not explain thia to Rufus Kent; she'd betrayed too much as It was. “They’ll be going—" she said hastily, moving to rise. Rufus Kent roes. “If you mean Mr. and Mrs. Arden, Junior, they've gone. I happened to see your zestful bride throw her veil to the floor in the upper hall and bolt down a back stairway.” He held out his hand. "The orchestra’s playing again—have you the patience to take me on? I’m not much of a dancer ” At the library door the Senior Ardens and the Matthewsons were bidding goodnight to J. Emmet Tarrell and Paula, his wife, “It was a lovely wedding,” said Mrs. Arden. Her smile was a little fixed and her eyes a little blank with fatigue. They had looked too far this evening, ahead and back into the past "Yes, very lovely,” echoed AlHthea Matthewson, in as toneless a voice. She had come to the end of the strength she had borrowed. Behind them, Oliver Matthewson and Bill’s father spoke properly in agreement J. Emmet Tarrell fancied a finality in their manner. He thought again: "Sheep and goats," and felt his blood warming under his collar. "Well, come ’round whenever you feet like it, you folks,” he said, grandly. But that wasn't enough to hand ’em! “Come and look at your pictures, Matthewson, any time you want to.” Paula Tarrell slipped one hand under his arm and pinched it The other she held out to Mrs. Arden. “Goodnight, Mrs. Arden. Goodnight Mrs. Matthewson. Goodnight—" She turned from one to the other, with a quiet simplicity. It waa said in Grandharbor that before she married J. Emmet she’d run some sort of a place in a western mining town. She had, though not the sort of a place the teas kindly would like to think It was, for it had been no more than a lunchroom, on which, after the sudden death of her first husband, she had depended for a living. It had meant endless work; each night after she closed her doors to her patrons she had had to bake a supply of pies and doughnuts and beans for the next day. scrub and clean, and her hands still bore the scars of that drudgery. She had had to endure loneliness and the shadow of it was in the quiet of her manner. "Now what did I do?" grumbled J. Emmet when the amenities were over. "That was mean to say, Joe." But she was not upbraiding. She smiled at him, a little shining tn her eyes. She knew how kind he was at heart. No one knew better! She wanted everyone else to know IL . “Well, wouldn’t you think they'd have said something about seeing us again? Their boy marrying my girt—” "Your girt and their boy are on their own now, Joe." That reminder would hurt him, so ata tightened her hand on his arm. (Ta Be Continued)
