It’s pleasing to learn that the annual pop concert of the juniorsenior high school Glee Club will be given Tuesday evening at the local school. Music lovers and those who admire youth in general and the efforts of Miss Helen Haubold, the music instructor, will turn out enmasse for the delightful program. o o The traditional "last night out with the boys” was given Lt. Mountbatten in London the other evening, heralding his marriage to charming Princess Elizabeth in historic Westminster Abbey next Thursday. The gentlemen friends drank their toast to the famed couple out of a 22 carat gold loving cup and probably acted about as natural as American navymen who were toasting one of their buddies on such an auspicious occasion. ■ O 0 Newark, N. J. is putting up a fight against one of the navy’s former big battle wagons, the New Mexico, which has been purchased by a salvage company to be junked at the city’s navy base. Citizens of Newark do not want the dismantling job to go on at their pier and attempts were made to keep the old battleship from anchoring there. Yes, there is freedom in this country. Just imagine what would happen in a Russian port if local citizens opposed the landing of a decommissioned ship at a government dock. o o The Friendship Train pulled out of Fort Wayne with more than 150,000 cans of evaporated milk, a carload of canned carrots, sugar several tons of wheat and other food products for the hungry children of France and Italy. Cash donations from a generous people totaled more than $2,500? and a thoughtful person, no doubt a mother, slipped in a brand new pair of children’s flannel pajamas. Clothing was not sought in the appeal, which was answered fourfold by citizens of Northeastern Indiana, who were glad to contribute to the worthy cause. Drew Pearson certainly performed outstanding public service when he

Precautions After Kidney Stone Operation

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. D. A PATIENT who has once undergone an operation for the removal of kidney stones wants, above all things else, some method to prevent other stones from forming. While we do not know the exact cause of the formation of the stones in the first place, there are certain precautions which can he taken to guard against their recurrence. These things include regulation of the diet according to the make-up of the stone removed, the elimination of all infection, and X-ray examination every three months. Each day the acidity of the urine is determined and, from time to the amount of calcium or lime eliminated in the Urine is tested. Many physicians believe that, in the majority of those with kidney stones, there is a deficiency of vitamin A. Hence, those patients who have had kidney stones are given vitamin A in large amounts. Infections may be present in the teeth, tonsils, or in the prostate gland and, if any are found, they should be eliminated. Many germs which are present in infections of the urinary tract have the ability to break up the urea which is present in the urine into ammonia and carbon dioxide. This process favors the formation of phosphates which do not dissolve in the body, and these phosphates may form Into kidney stones. Hence, if the patient has a urinary tract infection, the type of germs causing it should be determined,

started the Friendship Train and the Fort Wayne committee was equally as responsive to the cause. The heart of America is great. O oi— At present the offices of city engineer and superintendent of thej water department are combined, the services being performed by Ralph Roop, a registered engineer. Under the law, the maximum salary for a city engineer is SI,OOO annually. Anyone with those qualifications could earn more than that in private engineering practice or employment with industry, so allowances from the water and electric departments are added to I the salary to compensate the engineer for services rendered to the utilities. By city ordinance and in compliance with the law, salaries of city officials for ne'xt year were fixed by the council last spring. There is no appropriation for a j seperate office as superintendent of the water department. The department duties are largely one of engineering and it would appear that the city now has the right combination, most efficiently operated and economically adminis 1 -1 tered. Any other plan would mean | an outlay of water funds for a I political post which does not exist. O o Human Legislation: As Congress convenes in special i i session citizens of the United ‘ States have a vital interest at', stake—the matter of taking effec-ji tive steps to halt the commodity 11 price spiral that has followed an , experience with decontrol policies.. i I' Everyone is aware that prices, still are on the increase and that Europe constantly is growing hungrier. In almost every quarter it is ' < agreed that if present conditions I continue, the average American wage-earner or salaried worker faces a European diet. I ' For years the American citizen ; has heard the voices of reactionary | leaders crying out against social-1 ism, radicalism, regimentation and bureaucracy. These words were; used as epithets to smear everything designed to benefit the average citizen —the “little fellow” — such as social security, farm se- i curity', rural electrification, flood control, public housing, public health, minimum wage legislation and price control. But notwithstanding their bitterj ■ criticism, they have failed to for-j . ward with a program. Repeal all humane legislation, they demand- • ed, and permit the law of supply i and demand to protect us. These are the same brand of ’ leaders who led the nation into - the inflation and the depression > which followed World War I. j

. and then the proper measures tak- . en to eliminate these organisms. [ In six out of every ten patients I with kidney stones, an increased . amount of calcium in the urine has been noted. When the kidney , stones are made up of calcium 8 salts, the amount of calcium excret-1 ed in the urine may be lessened by using a diet which is acid-ash forming, by giving vitamin D and by varying the dietary intake of calcium and phosphorus. Excessive amounts of phosphates in the urine may be due to using a diet, which is alkaline-ash-forming, for too long a period of time. | Patients who have had kidney stones should make sure that they drink large amounts of fluids. The acid-ash diet should be used when the stones are made up of carbonates and phosphates, and the alka-line-ash diet when the stones are made up of cystine, xanthine and uric acid. j I have outlined alkaline-ash and acid-ash diets which I shall be glad to forward to those who care to send for them, enclosing a selfaddressed. stamped envelope. Names will not be used. Os course such a diet should be employed only under the direction of a physician. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS R. A.: What would cause a burning in the stomach and through the digestive tract? Answer: This may be due to socalled heartburil which comes from many causes, such as gall-bladder disease, uk’er ot the stomaoh or chronic constipation, and colitis.

Modern ft/auette By ROBERTA LEE | . — — O Q. When a young man meets a girl on the street and stops to talk. | shouldn't he remove his hat and hold it in his hand as long as he talks? A. It isn't necessary for him to hold his hat longer than a minute, and not at all if the weather is disagreeable. He should of course, lift it when meeting the girl, and again when leaving. It would be presumptuous for a girl to expect a man to stand bareheaded in a snow storm or rain. Q. If there is a punch bowl at a dance and no one is there to serve it, should a girl serve her partner and then herself? A. No; the man should serve his partner, and then himself. Q. Is it necessary to repeat the, person’s name when being introduced? A. No. "How do you do” is sufficient. _ —oO — r ! 1 Household Scrapbook it By ROBERTA LEE ' O — Making Cold Starch In making cold starch, mix the starch with just enough cold water to dissolve it. Then take %-cup cold , water, fill the cup with boiling water and stir this into the dissolved starch. It will be hot, but not cooked. Dip collars, cuffs, etc., in the same way, wring, and roll up for about 15 minutes. Also add a small quantity of lard to keep the iron from sticking. Fresh Bread Fresh bread should never be placed in the container along with stale bread, or it will also become stale very quickly. Keep the stale I bread in a separate box.

SYNOPSIS Worlds separate young Alison Van Dyke and Teresa, her glamorous halfsister. The latter, ambitious and domineering, was one of Washington’? most successful interior decorators, while Alison and Kitty, their mother, lived quietly in Vermont Alison was 16 at the time she came to Washington for Teresa’s wedding and something happened to her heart when she met her sister’s fiance, attractive Sam Tarrant, quiet, idealistic newspaperman. They are having lunch while Teresa and Kitty finish some last-minute shopping. CHAPTER TWO ALISON wanted to ask Sam all sorts of things—whebe he had grown up and where he had gone to school and what he liked to do and how he had met Teresa Teresa hadn’t told them anything except that she was going to marry a young man formerly of Virginia named Sam Tarrant 'the wedding would be in church, a quiet affair, and her friend. Edna Castine, was having the reception at her house some miles out of Alexandria. “I want you and Alison to come, of course.” Teresa had written on her typewriter. “But I shall attend to all of the details for you, hotel room, clothes, etc. I’ve given up my little apartment and Sam and I have rented a new one which is in the process of being decorated. That’s why I haven’t any place for you and Alison to stay. I’m living with Edna.” Naturally Teresa herself was supervising the decoration of her new apartment. Teresa was an interior decorator. Teresa Hill. But after tomorrow she would be Teresa Tarrant That sounded better. Had she thought of that? Alison ate her lunch rather than asking questions. What would Sam think if she didn’t eat her lunch ? After a while he said, “I’m supposed to put you in a taxi and send you back to your hotel.” He looked shy again, his eyes dark and bright. “This has been very nice, Alison. I mean it. I hope you’ll let me take you to lunch again Maybe the next time you come down you can get around more.” When she looked at him more hopefully than she realized, he said, "All the family 1 have now is a father who has a newspaper and a farm about a hundred miles from here. I think it’s going to be swell to have a sister, to have you. I mean this too." What could she Not “I think it’s wonderful just to be near you. I even like the way vou hold a cigaret I like to watch your hands. ...” She said. “Thank you,” “Shall we go now ?" e 9 Outside the sky was darkefifag. sitting ie the taxi she saw Sam

I on the sidewalk smiling his goodby. And it was with her again—that confused enchantment. » * • After the spacious lobby and the large dining room the hotel room seemed very smalt Kitty was waiting Stout, fullbosomed, her silver bracelets jangling on her plump arm, her blond hair not streaked with gray or dark at the roots as it had been this morning, but yellow as a buttercup. . . . Kitty with her Bohemian airs she clung to because they were the ways of her youth that had passed so' quickly she could not quite comprehend its passing, leaving her old and poor and twice widowed, her fine spirit like a flag that was slowly being lowered to half-mast. . . . Kitty, for whom her older daughter apologized because she had no taste, yet loved and revered by the younger child who knew her mother’s great good taste for living, her unselfish generosity, her astonishing wisdom. . . . Kitty, sometimes a fool, sometimes a sage, yet unforgettably kind and loving. "Coming in, darling," she said. “Our dresses came and Teresa sent some things over.” With a dubious look she went to the closet, her high heels on her short, fat feet making a harsh sound on the floor. “Here they are," she said, producing tailored black velvet for herself and an aqua crepe for Alison. “Um. . . . You don’t like it, do you?” Alison could have wept “It’s too young for you,” Kitty said. “Os course it is. It's for a child in pigtails. What does Teresa think you are—a baby? But don't worry. We’ll take it back tomorrow and get something you like.” “Maybe Teresa wouldn't like that.” Why did Teresa want her to look like a baby anyway? “And maybe I don’t care if she doesn’t You can’t wear this thing. You’d want to hide in a comer.’ And when you have a chance to get a nice dress, you're going to get it.” Alison pulled her beret from her head and shook her hair loose. She glanced at herself in the mirror when she asked. “Have I —that is —is my hair really pretty?” Kitty stood still and looked at her, her faded blue eyes strangely sad. “You have lovely hair, my darling. Sam is observant. He’s attractive, too. isn’t ~he? Very attractive. I like him. And he’ll improve under the process of ripening. aißut I—l donr get it I’m queered.
