It returned to Dayton In 12 minutes, leaving many in doubt us to what they saw in the sky, if anything. 0 (l The Labor Department reports that average weekly earnings are now at an all time high and the Bureau of Statistics says that there is "nothing in the current economic picture to indicate any downward trend or recession." Everybody Is too busy to talk depression. o o Police officers guided the crowds at the street crossings and kept an eye on traffic, protecting the movement of pedestrians at the intersections. Saturday evening traffic was unusually heavy and with the public cooperating in the safety plan, not a single accident occurred. ——O 0 Kill the flies and prevent the pests from carrying disease by keeping garbage cans well covered. In Indianapolis, a city wide drive is being made to clear the town of flies. Garbage containers are being sprayed with a DDT formula and the Boy Scouts have entered the battle against the insects. o o Somebody is kidding the Greek people with a dispatch from that country that thousands of food packages had been shipped from Greece to the I'nited States for “supposedly starving Americans.” When tho time comes that poor, little old Greece has to send food over here. It won t make much difference if it is ever received. o o A weekend blizzard in Yellowstone National park trapped sixty persons and brought death to three vacationers.

Disorder With a Long Name

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. D. THERE aret no more powerful chemicals than those the body manufactures for its own use. That Is why we get such strange and even bizarre diseases when one cf these natural chemical plants misbehaves. Take the tiny hits of glandular tissue known as the parathyroids for instance. Located In the nerk just beneath the thyroid gland, these little glands form a secretion which empties directly into the blood stream where it controls the body's use of calcium or lime. When too much of this secretion is formed, calcium is lost from the body. wholesale, until even the bones are robbed of their chief constituent. Increased Secretion Thia disorder of increased secretion from the parathyroid glands is known as hyperparathyroidism. It occurs twice as often in women as in men, according to Or. Christopher John McLoughlin of Atlanta. It usually develops in adults but has been reported in children as young as twelve years of age. i Hyperparathyroidism gradually < starts wits such symptom* as nus- i cular weakness, loss of. appetite. i sickness to the stomach, fatigue, t constipation, and pain in the bones. 1

price controls are highly undesirable. Buch controls were a major Issue In the 1946 election. Yet home of the same congressmen and senators who then demanded Jess government in business have now voted for government support of wool prices, and for a system of quotas to maintain them. Regardless of the merit of this stand, it is evident that here, they are doing a turnabout. o o So many passenger cars and trucks are on the road burning up gasoline, that oil companies cannot keep up with demand, in some t axes dealers are being limited to 90 per cent of last year's volume of gas. No accute shortage is expected and production of motor fuel is at an all-time high, even exceeding the output during the war years. The vacation months will see a st 111 greater 'demand for gas. bottlenecks In transportation l>/ing one of the reasons ascribed for the shortage. — o o— Dotted around town are numerous cases ot verdant lawn and attractive flower gardens, which contribute to the home atmosphere of our community. Not overlook- , Ing any, but as a special mention of one of the largest displays of roses seen in the city is the garden at the rear of the James L. Kocher, Sr., home on Mercer avenue. The trellises are loaded with white, pink and red roses, which bring the ahs as one steps back tor the garden for a eye-full of natural beauty. < o o A Chicago attorney has Drought what he considers to be a serious charge against the method of choosing Jurymen for the V. 8. District Court. He says they are too well-educated. This lawyer lost a case heard before the court, and set about to compare the educational backgrounds of the Jurors with those of the average found that they were superior. The Jurors are drawn by lot from a list of volunteers, a method which has always been considered to be fair, so the attorney's motion for a change of method was overruled by the Judge * | IIVI o o Discussing changes confronting youth, a travel magazine says that, in the last thirty years, youth has come to criticize all established traditions and institutions, even the family. Such restlessness is healthy provided mere motion Is not mistaken for life, and speed for progress. There never were greater opportunities for young pople than today, but they still have to be worked for. It isn't how hard yoY have worked, the important thing is what you have accomplished. Opportunity still awaits all who will train and work for it. This truth stands as firmly rooted in the changed world of toj day as it did in the world before I the wars. •

i. These symptoms are probably due I to an excessive amount of cglcium. r or iime, in the blood. Increased] I thirsL aN well as the secretion of I large amounts of urine, also are ‘ t present. The condition may affect the urinary tract causing pain, Irritation of the bladder, and blood and ( pus 111 the urine. Because the li> ie , is taken from the bones, there are weakness, aches and pains In the ] joints, and loss of weight. A broken ] bone may follow some slight Injury. Making a Diagnosis ' I jiboratory examination is help(ful in making a diagnosis of hpyer- ] parathyroidism. There will be , found an Increase in the amount of calcium in the blood, with a lessening of the amount of phospherus In the blood. There is also an increase in the amount of calcium and phosphorus in the urine. Xreys of the bones may show cysts or sacs containing fluid within the bone Htructures. Ouco the diagnosis is made, the treatment consists either iu the re- ] moval of a tumor tn the parathy- ] rolds responsible for increased secretion from the glands, or ramov al of some of the parathyroid tielife. X*ray treatment of the parathyroid glands has been tried but 1 hac not been found successful. # 1

CHAPTER NINETEEN DIANE WAS in the kitchenette When she heard Bill come in. She did not go into the living room to meet him. She took up a pan and emptied the peas she had shelled ‘ into it Her hands shook and the ! peas made a sharp rattling sound against the pan and some spilled 1 over onto the table. She did not know how Bill would act in his triumph. If he’d lost—Rufus had ( said— But he'd won. Bill appeared in the door. "Hello! ’ I didn’t think you were home!” He put his arm over her shoulder, kissed her. It was no different from -other homecomings. "Early, isn’t it?” Diane busied herself with gathering up the spilled peas. "Yes. The trial's over. Staples is , cleared.” There was satisfaction in I his voice, but he kept it controlled. "As if it were only hia, alone, to feel!” Diane thought swiftly. Bill turned toward the bedroom. "Don’t start any dinner. Mother I wants us to go over there. Sort of 1 a celebration, I suppose." They’d celebrate—there! Diane put the pan of peas in the s icebox, shut the door with a little slam. “Formal?" "Heavens, no. She only thought I of it two hours ago. Go as you are." II Two hours ago Bill's mother, r like Page, had bought a news1. paper. Or perhaps Bill had telephoned to her! Diane stood still, considering that, urging on her anger, for strangely she welcomed it It was better than feeling nothing. ’ She was at the dressing table, r lining red along her lips, when Bill f came in from his shower. She could see him through the mirror, . see that the strained look was en--1 tirely gone from his face; he was * whistling a tune as he dug into a bureau drawer for clean clothes. But he was keeping his r. Joicing » to himself! Weil, what if she kept to herself that she was going to have a baby? He straightened and met her glance, came over to her, bis socks . in one hand, a shirt in the other, and klased the top of her head. “What’s on your mind. Di? We’d t better hurry!" t She put down her lipstick. "I • was wondering if your mother'd 5 have anyone else there. Maybe I ought to change. After all—” her 1 eyes challenged his through the j glass, "it’s a rather special occasion. isn't it?” But Bill was slipping his arms into his shirt. “You look all right.” Diane sprang to her feet. "I'll mix a cocktail while you’re finishing.” She went past him and out . into the kitchenette. t She had the shaker and two glasses on a tray in the Uving room when Bill came in, dressed. . She filled the glasses, lifted hers. “To Dean, Meadows and Arden.” I Bill shook his head, with a little I 1 laugh. “Better hold that. Di, till it happens.” , r Mrs. Arden met them at the 1 door. She took-Bill's face between . her hands and kissed him. "-Another moment for her to remember." thought Diane. Bffl's father behind Ma. Ardao. advanced to

shake Bid's hand, his face animated for the moment "Fine work, son!" From the sunporch come the Matthewsons, Page and her father and mother. “I asked in the ones closest to us," Mrs. Arden explained smilingly to BilL They gathered around Bill with congratulatory words. Ailithea Matthewson kissed him. "I'll dare now! I can’t when you’re any more famous!” Mrs. Winston kissed him. "I have the right, I guess! I bathed you once when your mother was sick!" “This must be a happy hour for you," Oliver Matthewson said to Diane. She assured him brightly that it was. With her anger growing, for over hia shoulder she «*w Page kissing BilL as the older women had done, but with her face Illumined. And Bill, looking ax if he liked it! At Mrs. Arden's summons, they went on into ths dining room. Mrs. Arden indicated to Diane to take the chair at the right of Bill's father; Bill sat down next to her and Page, after a little nod from Mrs. Arden, took the seat at his other side. They were all here around his mother's table to share Bill’s triumph. But, like Bill, they did not speak of it as such. Mr. Winston and Oliver Matthewson asked Bill a few technical questions about the trial and then turned their conversation to other matters, Bill's father sank into his usual quiet his mother gave her attention to the rather awkward services of the colored woman, Bella, Mrs. Winston and Ailithea Matthewson began talking of gardens. But what they did not say proclaimed loudly that his winning the case was no more than they had expected. The effect of this on Diane was to make her feel a rank outsider. SHE could not claim the right to such expectation; theirs went back to years before she had known Bill, even to those successful attorneys and jurists in past generations of Ardens. "A family of good lawyers." The mellowed wood of the old table around which <they sat, the old-fashioned candelabra gleaming in its center, the highboy against one walL the very walls belonged to those generations. Diane saw in contrast the garish hotel suites which had been home to her. increasing in elegance as her father prospered. Not always offering the security a home should give. She remembered a hurried packing in one place, her father storming. They were being—ejected. Wasn’t that the word? The management wouldn’t wait for her father to put over some deal. It had happened when she was too young to feel humiliation, and now, in the strange mood of her, she recalled it with a little savage relish. Her father HAD put the deal over! Within a week they were established luxuriously in another hoteL in another city. On the wall opposite her hung a portrait ot Bill's grandfather. Diana tound beraelf staring at it, thinking: "I suppose the best Dad has of his father is a tintype! If ha haa anarl”

She suddenly observed that the high forehead, flat temples and straight nose were like Bill’s. Looking from the portrait to Bill's father, she was a little startled to see that he, too. had these same features. Perhaps they were handed down, along with the highboys and the old portraits, and the legal minds. While she had—what ? She could not remember her father ever speaking of his father. She knew no more of her own mother than that she had lived as a girl in a remote mining camp. J. Emmett, prospecting, had met her there, fallen tn love with her, and taken her away with him. Diane's brooding eyes went over the women at this table, seeing each secure in a pattern which had been woven a long time ago. What of mderstanding could one of them give her mother's lot, or the hard experience that had made Paula what she was? Or her father? Or her? She was roused from her strange train of thought by Mr. Winston, next to her. He was back on the triaL "I hope, after this, that this radical element growing here in the city will not be so quick to jump on men of position! I think Staples should sue the Post for those libellous columns it has been printing!" Oliver Matthewson shook his head. “Staples can afford to ignore them." Rufus' editorial. Diane looked quickly at Page, expecting Page to defend them. But a faint deepening of the color of her cheeks, a haste to answer something Ailithea Matthewson had said to her. were the only signs Page gave of having heard her father. "Rufus should be here, with Page!" Diane thought hotly. He wasn't, because Page was afraid to tell her parents and these others what she had told her at the pool. If he were here, he would be an outsider, like herself. Probably—she smiled—he'd answer Mr. Winston by saying he stiU believed Martin Staples guilty. Throw it like a bomb into this corporation of smugness. An impulse seized her, too strong to be resisted. She leaned forward to attract Bill's attention. "BilL do you believe Staples was innocent?" AU eyes turned on her with mild astonishment Ailithea Matthewson laughed. “How naive you sound, Diane!” Th" men smiled. Except BilL who frowned very slightly as he answered: "The jury thinks sa That is enough for me." "Speaking of . gardens." began Mrs. Winston, with an air of diverting them, "have any of you seen Hester McAdams* roses? Twenty-seven varieties—" She heard Mrs. Arden speaking her name and Ufted her glance. "I asked, Diane, how your movie is progressing,” Mrs. Arden smiled at her. “She thinks I’m snubbed," thought Diane, savagely. But her face did not betray her feelings. She answered gayly: "Oh. splendidly! We're sure to get four bells!” tie Ba CcAttauedi

McNutt Points Out U. S. Stake In East Nation Guarantor Os Pacific Peace Chicago. June 24. -(UP)-Paul V. McNutt, first United States ambassador to the Philippine Republic. said today that the nation is "deeply and Inextricably Involved" politically In the far east. Speaking at a meeting of the mid west regional board of the far east-Amerlcan council of commerce and industry, McNutt said the U. S. has become the guanantors of peace In the Pacific "whether we like It or not." "Our army of occupation today rules Japan," he said. “The American flag files over a series of outposts that stretch from Hawaii west, north and south across the Pacific. We are committed beyond recall to the Pacific. That Is] our frontier.” McNutt said the world's greatest markets, sources of raw materials and economic potential lie in the Orient. "There we find 1.500.00.000 peoples inhabiting lands which abound in unexploited riches and treasures of the earth." he said. "There lies one of the major keys to the future of mankind." He said that in order to solve the problems of the far east today, America must bolster the economies of the countries neighboring Japan. "If we withdraw from Japan and leave that nation economically strong in the center of teaming millions who are economically ■ weak, we will have set the stage for another phase of aggression, and war," he said. ■ —,.*o i Liquor Sales Drop Reported In Nation Washington, June 24 —(UP! — The nation drank 30 percent les* liquor in the first four months of this year than in the corresponding 1946 period, the distilled spirits institute reported today.
