Last year the first frost hit this section on September 20. o o The European nations want Uncle Sam to loan them a little over 19 billion dollars during the next four years. The request follows the suggestions in the Marshall plan, but a lot of us out here wonder if all the countries put. together are worth the price. o o Our factories and manufacturing concerns continue to employ many people and apparently this favorable condition will be enjoyed for months ahead. When people work, they earn and spend, a simple law of economics which makes prosperity. o o In the last war the air corps numbered a couple million men.. Will training of pilots be necessary in any future war? The successful flight of the robot plane, from Newfoundland to Oxfordshire, England, carrying 12 men. may mean that pilots will be unnecessary. All you do in'the robot plane, is press buttons, set the mechanical brain and there you go. o o The American Red Cross was on the job in the area struck by the hurricane. Food, clothing and shelter were provided the storm victims within a matter of hours and national headquarters of Red Cross appropriated a million dollars to aid those in distress. This worthy organization has never failed to meet the challenge in time of distress, in war or in peace time. o 0 Printing companies which turn out the lottery tickets sold in Indianapolis and other cities, were successful in obtaining an injunction against the enforcement of the ordinance forbidding their production in the capital city. The surest way to end the lottery racket would be for the individual to cease buying the tickets, for very few ever win a stake. The promoters usually are the winners.

Symptoms of Brain Tumor

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. D. THE brain is the great controlling organ of the body. As the seat of thought and reason, it is the source of every human achievement, but in addition to these higher functions, it also directs and controls every bodily function. Thus, when the brain is attacked by disease, other parts of the body mirror the damage in various ways, depending on which areas of the brain are affected. For this reason it is easy to tell when a patient is suffering from a brain disorder. It is also relatively easy to tell the part of the brain that is diseased. Diagnosing The Trouble It is another matter, however — and a much more difficult one—to decide just what the trouble is. For this, the physician needs the greatest! possible skill, patience and knowledge. One of the conditions which may affect the brain is tumor or new growth. Symptoms of brain tumor develop very gradually, but steadily grow more pronounced and more numerous. The first sign is usually a slight awkwardness or disability or even paralysis. Before this time, however, there are other symptoms, the most prominent of which is usually headache. The headache of brain tumor may be restricted to one area or felt throughout the head. It urualiv

Up in Vermont they grow Republicans, no one will deny, and no less a personage than Senator Flanders from the granite state, warns the country that wage and price controls may be restored, if inflation continues. The Senator may have a good argument for regulating the price spirial, but to set-up a price control organization in the 48 states, is more than the legislators can accomplish. When congress killed the war-time law, that was the end of governmental control in this country. o o Evidently the Republicans are not satisfied with their leaders or the men who have made their record for the party. It begins to appear that many of the organizations are dropping, or would like to drop Taft, Dewey and other potentials and take on Eisenhower or MacArthur. The generals are not inclined to get mixed up in politics, but the various state and city GOP' leaders are not doing much to boost the candidacies of the men who have heretofore been in the front lines. The country will likely decide that President Truman is doing a good job and should continue as president. o o Eugene Pulliam, the Indianapolis newspaper publisher, after touring 20 countries of Europe and the Near East, is of the opinion that Russia will “use any means short of global conflict to achieve its purpose" for overthrow of the captalistic and private enterprise systems. Pulliam said that Russia doesn’t dare risk a showdown now because she -has neither the production nor the ,fOod for war. Her game the publisher explained, is to wear out American patience with objections, irritating proposals and noisy propaganda. If that is the case, Americans should be smart enough to outwit the Communists, and if necessary stop their wild quest for world dictatorship. o o Yale University recently undertook a survey on the drinking habit. The following conclusions were drawn from the report: “If you need a drink, don’t take it.” The article cites four questions to help a man analyze his drinking: “Can you enjoy a party only if there is liquor? Do you long for the hour when you can drink without hurting your job? Do you turn to alcohol to overcome anxiety, disgust, fatigue or frustration? Do you drink to offset difficulties with your family or business associates? ‘ If the answer in any case is yes, ■ you are an alcohol-dependent and in danger.” The Yale experts warn against driving a car sooner than one hour after taking two ounces iof whisky, or within two hours after four ounces.

. comes on as a severe attack and is most in evidence after the tumor . has grown large enough to increase ' pressure within the skull. About 50 percent of patients with brain tumor wait until this point to consult i a physician. By this time, they are also likely to experience vomiting, ( but without any feeling of sickness J to the stomach. Convulsi6ns, disturbances in vi- ' sion, loss of eyesight and impairment of the intellect are symptoms which may develop slowly but sure- ’ ly in untreated cases of brain tu- ’ mor. The type of tumor and its location to a great extent determine The speed with which' the sympthe symptoms. toms become worse give® some ini dication as to how rapidly the brain ■ tumor is growing. An examination of the fluid from the spine is not always helpful in the diagnosis of brain tumor. However, an increase of the pressure of the fluid in the spinal canal is an indication that a brain tumor is present. X-ray examination should always be made in patients suspected of having brain tumor. X-ray examination will not only show whether or not a tumor is present, but in many cases will also give an indication of its location. Treatment of brain tumor, of course, is surgical and nowhere haj ruodern surgerv made greater advance? 4

Modern Etiquette i By ROBERTA LEE I O —— o <J. Os what should one be careful when planning to take a guest for an automobile drive? , A. See that the car is tidy. Old shoes lying on the floor, packages I scattered here and there soiled rags or newspapers on the seat indicate carelessness and disregard for the guest’s comfort. Also, see that the windshield and w-indows are clean and do not in any way obscure the guest’s vision of the scenery. Q. What should a man do if he is doubtful as to whether or not | he should remove his hat? A. A good rule to follow is, when i in doubf, remove the hat. Q. What should one eend the mother of a new baby?
