Eggless days, which no oue seemed to ofiserve, came to an of filial end today. Q o A news dispatch from Bio be Janeiro relates that Stalin is partially paralyzed Maybe that is the reason the Soviet leader hasn’t been talking. 0 A Boston man strangled a woman for singing a song that lie said was sacred to him and his estranged •wife. It would have been more simple had he appealed to Petrillo. 0 O Os the 435 members, 32 were present when the new session of congress got underway. The cloak rooms were filled, but the boys weren't interested in what was going on. However, their pay went right on. o- o In his "State of the Union" message to congress, president Truman had something to talk about that other places on this earth don’t enjoy, an abundance of food and financial credit o o— — The hold up of tavern operators at Michigan City, home of our state penitentiary, is proof that some people keep too much money around the house.

A Painful Baby Disorder

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. D. < THE child who suffers from the! 1 condition known as iutussusceptiou ! ' becomes suddenly, seriously, and '' dramatically sick. Even though, as ; a rule, he is too young to describe ‘ his pain, his mother will notice that ' never before in his lite has he cried ' so hard. Intussusception usually develops in well-nourished and healthy babies between the ages of four and ten months. In this disorder there is a sort of telescoping of the bowel, which seems to take place most often when the child is being ! changed from a liquid to a solid diet. Thus, this may be one of the causes of the condition, though it may also develop as an apparent aftermath to a bowel infection. The symptoms of intussusception consist of attacks of colicky pain, vomiting, aud the presence of blood in the bowel movements. About three-fourths of the children who develop intussuavepilon usually have all of these symptoms, and all of those with the condition have at least one of them. It, when these symptoms are present, a lump or mass can be felt in the abdomen, a diagnosis of intussusception is certain Often, the lump may also be felt through the rectum. As 1 indicated earlier, even the irrsl symptoms a,re severe enough to shur, tUi ‘hq child u seriously stgru s'iddenly or an attack

day nearly 40 out of each 100 are 55 years old or older. However, Indiana farmers are growing more foodstuff today than at any time in history. This is being done by< 28,000 less farmers, but with more farm machinery and tractors. 0 0 William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, is opposed to Henry Wallace and said that labor generally would not support the third party candi date. He explained Isis stand: “I’m against him. I’ve followed his speeches and I’ve got the impres sion from them that Wallace believes Hussia is right and America is wrong ” People around here feel the same way. o o

« Unless Lt. Governor James is given the run-around by state house political leaders, he has the edge in his candidacy for the Republican nomination for governor Hobart Creighton, house leader and well known poultryman, is a pros pective candidate, as likewise is Senator Jenner. The latter has a $15,000 job in Washington and many of the party can't see the advantage of making him the crown prince, just for the sake of holding the same gang in the state house. 0 0 Why is it that boys nave a desire to destroy the other person's property? This question is asked in view of the hoodlum tactics of five prominent teen-aged youths in Atlanta, Georgia, who released brakes on about 25 automobiles, wrecking the ears as they slid down the hillside. The youths came from good families and by training should have known better. They have been arrested for disorderly conduct and vandalism, and unless they are mental delinquents they should be forced to make amends. 11 they had such a destructive urge, it woiilrf have been better for them to buck their heads against a brick wall. o o— — if you see a strange object in the heavens, don't expect scientists to take much interest. Dr. C. C. Wylie of the University of lowa told the American Association for the Advancement of Science at their meeting that it is almost impossible to find the real facts about such reports. The flying saucers of last summer are an example. Some were hallucinations, some hoaxes, and the rest had a natural aud simple explanation. Yet a lot of people worried about them. Not the scientists, however. Aud henceforth, they say, they will not take time off from their own work to soothe the baseless fears of others. Let them fill their own cups of woe along with their saucers.

of sharp, coliky pain which may last only a few seconds but which returns at 10- to 30-minute intervals. Between attacks, the baby may appear well, but when the pain comes on again he grows pale, draws up his legs, and cries voilently. His pulse will be rapid and he may develop fever. As the condition progresses, and the blocking or the opening through the bowel is nvore complete, the child is pale, sweats, and may often go into shock or collapse. In making a diagnosis, it may be necessary to give the child an anesthetic or drag to put him to sleep. This will relax the muscles of the abdomen so that an examination may be carried out more easily. If such a procedure is employed, preparations should be made so that, if necessary, an operation can be performed under the same anesthetic. X-ray of the bowel will almost always reveal the obstruction in the intestine. The treatment to relieve the condition is, in practically all instances, operation QUESTIONS ANO ANSWERS M. A.: I seem to have a sensation of plus and needles in my legs. What could cause this trouble? • Luswei Ihe condition you 1< scribe may be due to such things as disturbance of *>he circulation, trouble of the urrvous system, or disorder of the lower part of the »m,b as from a ■ tunaur within the lower pan of rhe . abdomen, might be responsible. <

Kindly Aunt 1 Maggie, with whom Cathy lived, was ' tudiguauf when Mrs. Kendall invited Cathy to tea and coldly informed her I the would disinherit Bill il he married ! her. that evening Cathy tell* Bill ol the stormy interview aud he begs her i to marry him secretly. Uetermiued not not to lose the inheritance which rightfully belonged to him, he convinces , Cathy that ouce they were married his , aunt could be won over to their side. A lew days later Bill left tor New York on business, but, as prearranged, stopped oil at Atlanta to await Cathy's arrival. Following their marriage in the parsonage oi a small church there, they drove to New York It was Cathy's tirst visit to the big city, aud Bill took delight in showing her the sights. One evening a tew weeks later while dancing at a place on Broadway, Cathy met a group ol soldiers she had known overseas. Bill becomes jealous When one ol the boys asked her to dance aud curtly informed him "Miss Layne" was tired. Cathy was deeplyhurt by his attitude and the tact that he had referred to her as Miss Layne" j and not "My wile.” Before departing the boys inquire about Captain Graham with whom Cathy had been lost in the ( jungle while overseas. Later at their hotel, Bill angrily demands the details ol what he termed her "romantic es- 1 oapade" with the Captain. Hurt and bewildered by his mistrust, Cathy tells ;' ol how she had been ordered to Uy . ! to the combat area with Captain Gra- I | ham to bring out wounded. CHAPTER TWELVE CATHY remembered the broad shoulders of the pilot, outlined before her against the rising sun; the scene below her, the vastneaa of the ocean, dotted occasionally by islands, some of them seeming no larger than a baby’s fist, some Os them large enough to wear proudly tufts of feathery-looking things that she knew were palms. Long ago such scenery had become commonplace. The few hours of complete relaxation and sleep were far too valuable to be wasted on them now. She remembered the shocked, dazed feeling with which she bad been jerked awake when the pilot had shouted to her that there was a flight of Japanese planes approaching. There had been a few frantic moments that had seemed hours long, when the pilot had . turned and darted away from the direction of the enemy planes. She I remembered the taut, breathless! ; moments. How far were they from 1 : land ' Straight down there was i the limitless ocean. If they had to | I parachute— For a little they had I I dared to hope they had escaped. | I But suddenly out of the. clouds i ahead of them had darted a lone plane with the bated symbol of the J. sua in its side.

A tense, breathless moment, and then the pilot had spoken savagely. "Here he comes —and we haven’t even an air rifle. Hit the silk, Darling—hit the silk!” Cathy had been ready. Almost at the same moment she and the pilot bailed out. There was the familiar violent jerk with which her parachute opened; there was i the dreadful waiting to And whether the Jap pilot could afford the time to machine-gun them as ; they floated downward—a favorite i trick of the enemy, she and the others with her nad long ago i learned. For a moment the enemy plane drifted toward them, but evi- I dently duty called and he was in J danger of dropping out of his for- i mation, and after a moment he had gone on. i She and the pilot had lain ex- < hausted tor a while when they had I landed. Not in the blue water as < they had both feared, but on land. • What kind of land, or where, they < had only the vaguest idea. They i were scratched and bruised, but s not seriously hurt. 1 They had folded and destroyed 1 their parachutes, working briskly 1 and competently as each had been < trained to do; and then the pilot < had stared at her curiously, and had said dryly, "Well—well! So ; this is what it's like to be ship- I wrecked with a gorgeous gal!" Badly shaken, she had struggled to match his attempt at flippancy. ; “It’s not much like the movies, is it?” she had managed to ask. “A little too early to say,” he had answered, with a grin that applauded her courage. ‘‘Any minute now, Dottie Lamour, complete with sarong and a tame leader, followed by a devoted band of head-hunters, may emerge from that jungle and bear us off in state to her village. But just on the off chance that she won’t, we’d better be making tracks, don’t you think?” “I think!" she had agreed. And it had begun. Even now, a year later, her voice dropped to silence before the vividness of the memory her words had conjured up. The steamy jungle; the dim light filtering through the vine-entangled trees; the fear that about them in the jungle might be hidden more of the enemy; the breathless hope that somewhere not too far away there might be a reconnaissance post, some far-flung scrap of a base al wiuch there would be Americans, English— I>erhaps a native village. Only how would they know whether they were friendly or hostile natives—until it might be too late? The j fear that there would be no wav lout at all— She heard, as from a great dis--1 tance, Bill’s voice. “Well, go or.—or are you eni . ! barrassed ?” ' , Bewildered, she looked up at I him, 'Embarrassed?” she repeated. What happened?” he asked shortly. "We made our wav out" she

said at iasu “Crawling, plodding creeping—an inch at a time, it seemed. Oh, 1 can’t tell you what it was like. Bill. You—you couldn t possibly understand." "Os course not.” said Bill, and his voice was a lash tipped with steel. "I'm only a measly 4-F—---not one of the gloriously elect of the armed services, who take it as simply routine that a good-looking man and a pretty girl should get themselves lost for eight days and nights in a place like that without romance lifting its head.” "Romance?” she repeated incredulously. * “Are you trying to tell me that this Graham didn’t make love to you?" Bill put it brutally, so that she flinched as though from a blow. For a dazed, unbelieving moment she only looked at him. Couldn’t he realize that m those terrible hours she and Graham had ceased to be a man and a woman 1 —male and female—and had be- ! eome just two tortured human be- i tags dependent on each other for i survival? That at such a time, | there is no thought but the will to live, the fight to survive, and that there had been no time for any emotion except fear and hunger and thirst and pain? “Well? Can’t you think up a good answer to that?” asked Bill at last. • Cathy shook her head. “No, Bill, I’m afraid I can’t,” she told him simply. ‘The only answer I can think of is thia- if you hold me so tightly in your : mind that you could believe such ■ a thing of me, then it’s good that ' ours is a secret marriage and that ■ it can be ended that way—secretly, ' here and now.” Bill said sharply, “Oh, come now i Cathy—” “I mean it. Bill,” she to'J him, ' and though her voice was husky i and shaken, there was a determination in it that silenced him. “I ' felt all along that we were making a mistake to be married like this; ! if you had introduced me to those ' boys as your wife, they’d never have mentioned Graham.” “And I’d have gone on being a ‘ fool and knowing nothing about I the way you behaved while you | were out of the country.” Bill’s vanity had received a mortal blow; his jealousy was a dark and ugly thing, made even more bitter by his feeling of having been a slacker. He resented Cathy's service where he had been denied the chance to fight; and he would always be jealous of every man in a uniform, and ne would always be wondering uneasily if Cathy didn't despise him. "There doesn’t seem co be any answer to that, Bill,” she said. “I’m sorry it ended like thia It was fun—for a while.” She turned, and with all the pride at her command, managed to i steady herself so that sl>e could walk out of the sitting room into the bedroom and ulose the door behind her.
