They used to say that the horse would be put out of business, but look at the thousands who still go to horse shows and races. —-o o—— Much of the praise of the TaftHartley bill as “mild and inoffensive” seems to come from people aho would not like any labor hill that answered that description. o o Much corn was planted last week and fanners are staying right on the job with a continuance of fair weather the past few days It's a good sign which should bring good results. o 0 The Kokomo man who repudiated his confession that he murdered three Fort Wayne women, remarked, “Anyone who would do them is crazy . . . and I'm not crazy." Whether guilty or not. anyone who confessed to such crimes has a screw loose. o 0 Sixty-two per cent of those who voted in a telephone poll conducted by a radio network said the Republican congress is not doing a good job. The poll was made in five cities which heard the debate by Senators Sparkman and Joseph <’. O'Mahoney for the Democrats and Senator Taft and ex-Senator Danaher. In Louisville, Ky„ 80 per cent of the listeners voted against the program. The people are not being fooled with the booby-trap legislation. * o o About this time next year the national conventions will be making news. Perhaps by then the choices for the presidency will be obvious, but probably not for the

Drug That Fights Tuberculosis

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. 0. FOR generation* medical men have hoped fpr a drug which would attack and kill tuberculosis germa, thus paving the way for quick and certain cure* of thia dread diaeaae. There are thoae who believe that it may be that thia long-awaited substance ha* been found in streptomycin. Streptomycin ia one of the group of drugs known as autibiotics or germ killing substances of which penicillin is the most famous example. The great usefulness of these drugs lies in the fact that they act directly on disease germs, A number of those germs not affected by penicillin are vulnerable to streptomycin, particularly the tubercle bacilli. Stops Growth of Germs According to Dr. H. Corwin Hinshaw and his co-workers of the Mayo Clinic, streptomycin stops the growth of tuberculosis germs. However, these physicians .feel that streptomycin should be given a more thorough trial before it is substituted for the long accepted methods ot controlling tuberculosis. • They themselve?. have used it to treat 75 patients with various types ot tuberculosis, including its most fatal forms, over a period of a year and a half. in some patients, the condition was more rapidly and completely controlled than in others. Injections of streptomycin were given Into a muscle, or under the skin, I

Republicans. In any ease the vicepresidential choices will he uncertain. It is a party tradition to choose the vice presidential candidate only at the last moment, and then apparently by afterthought. One hundred years ago campaigns were longer than today. The Whigs nominated their 1840 candidate. William Henry Harrison, In December of the year before. A campaign of that length would be more than most Americans today would < are to take. Or are wo fool Ing oarselves, and do we really have four-year campaigns? o 0 V "My countrymen, know one another and you will love one another." These noble words may have inspired the memorial fund set up by the widow of Frank Knox, the former Secretary of the Navy. Mrs. Knox has just given Harvard University 21.000.000 to aid in a "program of exchange fellowships throughout the world.” This will enable American university students of advanced standing to carry on their work In other parts of the world, while the corresponding opportunity of getting acquainted with America Is extended to foreign students. o— o The Veto: The House will probably override President Truman’s veto of the income tax cut bill, but It is doubtful if the Senate has the twothirds majority necessary to put the law on the books. President Truman in his veto message, considered the law, "unsafe, inflationary and unfair to lower Income groups." Many Americans have the same belief. If congress really wants to give tWllef to taxpayers it should start from the bottom. Millions of small taxpayers could be eliminated from the tax rolls, if exemptions were increased in the lower brackets. thus saving millions of dollars In the cost of processing returns. Mr. Truman also said, "that sound fiscal policy requires existing tax rates to be maintained for the present." Congress should go ahead and make the reductions possible in the budget and apply the savings on the national debt, which today totals about 257 billion dollars. The federal Treasury situation or national financing plan is not much different from that of the individual. At a time when business is good and the people are making money, the surplus should be applied on the debt. With the individual, his mortgage Is paid off when he enjoys good times. Everybody would* like a reduction in taxes, but the Knutson hill, which was vetoed was not the answer to the national problem, the President declared.

every three to six hours, day and night, from two to six months. Some of the patients treated were suffering from tuberculous meningitis, a condition in which the tuberculosis infection has involved the lining membrane ovet the brain and spinal cord. In such cases, the treatment was given by injection into the spinal column, as well as into the muscle. For tuberculosis of the lungs, moderate amounts of streytomycin, given for short periods of time, were found adequate to control the condition. In most cases, the improvement was prompt and rapid, in other cases, the disease did not Improve, hut did not get any worse. It was found that the fever war lessened, coughing and the bringing np of sputum stopped, and lung inflammation became less within a few weeks time. Tuberculosis affecting the large bronchi or tubes in the lung, the windpipe and larynx or voice-box were benefited in two to four weeks time by having the patient breathe In a mist of the streptomycin several times a day,_ together with the use of injections ihto the muscle. The symptoms became less within a tew days and the infected areas healed up. The condition did not recur after the treatment was stopped. Unpleasant reactions involving dizziness or a deafness occur in some tew instances. However any serious results from the use of streytomycin are quite small.

CHAPTER THIRTEEN "RUFUS IS — different," Page began, her half-laugh not concealing the forced tone in her voice. “He has such strong prejudices about some things. He's had to work for every opportunity he's had, even when he was small, and 1 suppose it's made him contemptuous of ,>eop)e who haven’t had to. But you see what a fuss mother'll make. He isn't—well, what she will consider eligible'" "It's your affair,” Diane said quickly. She was glad Page had told her; there need be no unhappy restraint between her and Page. She'd stand with Page against ber mother's certain opposition. She said, suddenly remembering, “Did you know 1 met Rufus yesterday for a cocktail? Dragged him Into It, to ask him to be in that movie we're making. I didn’t dream—” “He told me," Page put in, but Indifferently. "He’s coming out this afternoon, to go through the thing with the rest of us. You're staying, aren't you?” Page shook her head. "I told mother I'd go to some garden club meeting with her. I must run along home, now.” She got to her feet. Diane got up, feeling a little rebuffed. Neither she nor Page spoke of Rufus as they walked back to the clubhouse, or while they were Showering and dressing. “Call me again for tennis, Page. I'll have more pep, another time!" Diane said as they separated. She was too relieved to think there was anything lacking in Page’s confidence. "She’ll find a million reasons to hesitate," she laughed, watching Page's car go away, Page wouldn't let herself fail in love, all in a minute! She ate luncheon witb Lois Several others drifted In from golf and sat down with them. Danny came before they were through, pulled a chair next to Diane's. “Two down,” be said of his match, dolefully. "Stick around. Danny," Lois said, across the table. "We’re going to rehearse this afternoon. Di got that man.” "Doesn’t she always?" Danny beamed. < Wilma eame, a little later, and Roes Trowbridge, and Thad Corning drove up In a low, long, shining car. They gathered at a secluded end of the wide veranda; a waiter went back and forth with iced drinks. Watching for Rufus to come up the Diane was conscious of a inotective feeling toward him that was aimoat tender. He WAS different* as Page had said; these others, waiting, might not recognize that its was a very swell person. \ He came tn a battered, dusty Ford that a little shock from Vicky. "Look. Jook. all at you! Wt that just antediluvian?" When he joined them Diane saw k Vicky run bis not

Diane watched Rufus* face while i Lola read the script Though it ; gave no sign, he must be thinking ; it was awful tripe, she thought, and was secretly embarrassed and sorry she had asked him to come into it Danny and the others were not looking quite so confident of themselves. Lois finished and Rufus said, slowly, aa if he were turning it over tn his mind: "Something of a satire, Isn’t it?" They hadn’t thought of it as such. But Immediately they claimed to have known it was that Os course! Roas said, briskly: “Let’s get to work, now.” They had started it simply to find amusement in a new quarter, to see themselves filmed in motion, but now it was a satire that must be done well! They went down to the grassy terrace adjoining the clubhouse, Ross commanding them with the crisp authority of a seasoned director. "You’re all In the first scene, all but Kent. You've gotten together for cocktails, after swimming. Di, you’re the life cf the party. Thad's at your elbow, mad about you. hooked. Along comes Kent. You meet him for the first time, DI. He's game from a new quarter and you want to bag him. You’ll know how to work that out. Now, all of you, get Into It!" They got Into it, with spirit They had the wide veranda to themselves. A few watched curiously from the veranda but they did not let that distract them. Diane threw herself Into her role, was gay and laughing and possessive of Thad until Rufus came on the scene, when she turned her wiles on him. “The perfect vamp. Di!” Danny called to her. "God help us poor men!" While Roes put Wilma and Thad through a acene, she went to the shade of a tree at the edge of the terrace and sat down. Rufus sauntered over to her. Watching him come, she wished she might speak of what Page had told her. She did pat his hand when he sat down beside her. “I know," the gesture and her smile said, warmly. "I'm a natural, dont you think?” Rufu» laughed. "Born for Hollywood.” They laughed at the roles they

were going to play. With amused Interest they watched Wilma and Thad go through their scene, Loin come on, Danny. Diane had not dreamed Rufus would enter Into It like this. On a sudden thought she sat a little straighter. "Did you mean that this is a satire—on the way wo play around?" But she didn’t say It defensively; at the moment Rufus seemed one of them. He looked at her with a halfsmile, shook his head. "I guess all I meant was that it was the cockeyed way most of us mix up our values. There you'll be,” he waved his hand toward the terrace, "upsetting your cartload of pretty golden apples because my worthless mug takes your fancy—there am 1, throwing away my chances for glorious achievement to have yon—” *T am going to ask Danny to change the last scene,” Diane put In quickly, laughing but with a little heightened color on her cheeks. "You shall go to the war!” "Thank you. I might rather stay with you!” She liked the lightness of bls mood. It belonged to the summer day, to the pleasant shade about them. Ehe was sorry when Rosa called to them to come on. They went through each scene of the script to the last "A clfnch'll come there, Kent, when we shoot,” said Ross. Vicky and Lois threw Diane a meaning look. “I'll be your stand-in. Kent, if you say the word," offered Danny. Roas was rolling the script; they were an moving back to the clubhouse. Rufus walked beside Diane. She saw him glance at Ills wrist watch. "Do you have to hurry back?" The club veranda was at its moat inviting at this hour. Or they might go into the pod. Someone would lend Rufus a swimming suit "I've less than twenty minutes to make the office.” The others protested his going, Vicky loudest of ah. Well, could he cor/!* out day after tomorrow, same time, Ross asked. Rufus said he would and, with a lift of his hand to them, went off toward his car. No one of the others had to hurry away to anything. Diane was in no hurry to go home. Bill had said he would be late. "Hey, Bruce,” called Danny to a waiter. The girls pressed Diane for more Information about Rufus, as if he were her discovery. She let them assume it. a little excited because they accepted him so enthusiastically, because Rufus accepted them. And herself. Danny came to her chair and sat down on the arm of it "You’ll remember, sweet, that all that stuff about you and Kent is only in a play?” "AM the world’s a stage, isn't It?" Diane retorted, lifting dancing eyes to him. (Jo Bo Continued) y
