This is one strike which public opinion will probably never insist on being broken. o o With food prices up, it is fortunate that we no longer eat the huge breakfasts our ancestors did.

Indiana farmers are asked to market the steel and iron scrap, so that stockpiles of the metal can be increased, thus assuring full operation of steel plants and foundries, it is estimated that 50,000 tons of scrap can be salvaged from the farms. o o The draft-Eisenhower League will now throw support to Harold Stassen, for the Republican nomination for president. Stassen will enter the Ohio presidential primaries and that contest should at least give the answer to Taft's .popularity in his home state. It’s doubtful if the former Minnesota governor has a chance for second place on the ticket. —r O O Fort Wayne is making plans for a city-wide welcome to Dr. Andrew W. Cordier, former Indiana man, who is now executive secretary to Trygve Lee, secretary-general of the United Nations. Dr. Cordier will speak at the Quimby Theater in that city on Wednesday, under the auspices of a half dozen organizations, who invited him as their guest. He will give a talk on the workings of the UN, a most timely subject of interest to persons in the northern part of the state. The Young Democratic Club of America has a clever plan in creating interest and increasing membership in local and state clubs, by offering free trips to the Demo-

A Condition That Needs Prompt Attention

By Herman N. Bundesen. M. D. t BLEEDING from the lower part s of the bowel should never be light- 1 ly dismissed. As a matter of fact. 1 it should be regarded with enough 1 alarm to send the patient to the doctor to find its exact cause. Unfortunately, so many who develop this symptom immediately decide for themselves that the trouble is due to piles, that piles can offer no serious threat to health and, hence, that treatment is not needed. This is a mistake which can have very grave consequences for there are many more things than piles which can cause this type of bleeding. Among the least serious are tears in the skin around the opening of the lower bowel and, of course, piles, which are enlarged or dilated veins. Another common cause is a condition known as chronic ulcerative colitis, in which there are ulcers or sores in the lower bowel. These conditions, as a rule, can be readily diagnosed. Hemorrhoids usually can be seen on examination by the doctor. It may he necessary to use a proctoscope, an Instrument made up of. a tube with a light, to examine the lower bowel. The proctosco]>e is passed into the bowel, and the doctor is thus able to examine the lining membrane directly. Os course, yie bleeding may come from higher up in the bowel. These cases arc the serious ones, the troupe rjay be due either to a cancer of the bowel or

cratic National Convention in Philadelphia next July to winners in a membership contest. To the person who secures the most members, all transportation costs to the convention city and sls a day allowance will be awarded the winner from each state. To be eligible, the club must have a minimum of 1,500 members, which makes it difficult for small county organizations to compete. The national goal is 1,000,0’00 members. o o

n Gardens will be planted in Poc land, Hungary and Japan this year .1 with seeds sent by thousands of r American school children. These "gifts of gardens” are to come in packages, each costing 50 cents, s enough for a garden 30 by 50 feet. g Vegetables can be grown on such I a plot to feed five people with sur- , plus for canning. The Committee on Educational Materials is sponsoring this project for 1948 as it did for gardens in Finland last year. The American Friends Serv- ’ ice Committee (Quakers), 20 South 12th St., Philadelphia, is handling the money and the seed distribution. It seems a fitting gesture for American children to supply seeds for this food growing, so . badly needed in those countries. o o ( Women In Japan: Keyes Beech writes from Tokyo that in addition to their worries about the working out of the new j political regime, Japanese men have to cope with new ideas in the • g ’ home as well. The writer says that f these men not only disapprove of an independent status for women, but that they also completely lack understanding of the principles involved. Many of them have only recently learned such Western customs as opening a door for a lady and holding her coat. Now they are faced with the proposition that women -are their equals in every ’ way. This bafflement is not only , on the social level. Women have become a force to be reckoned with in politics, holding 25 seats in the diet and places in local assemblies and councils. They also comprise 25 per cent of the total t membership in labor unions. c Careful investigation would ; show these bewildered Japanese men that their women are not alone in wanting to have it both ways. American women have fairly well succeeded in attaining independence while at the same time they retain the pleasant perquisites of femininity. Financial independence and the ability to stand on her own feet do not preclude the wish of the modern woman for pleasant flattery and polite services.

to tumors known as polys which some doctors regard as the forerunners of cancer in this area. Polyps account for more than nine i out of ten cases of non-cancerous , tumors in the lining membrane in the lower bowel. They occur in person of all oges, but are slightly person of all ages, but are slightly frequent in elderly persons. Many times the polyps may be | present without causing any symptoms. In other cases, they cause bleeding and may lead to some blocking of the passage through the bowel. In any case, all polyps of the lower bowel should be removed. if no logical cause for the bleed’ ing can be found. X-ray examination of the intestine should be carried out. It is suggested that air or barium be injected -into the bowel in order to bring out its outline more clearly. Polyps, as a rule, can be removed quite simply by operating through the proctoscope. If they (•mot be reached in this way. an abdominal operation must be per- . formed. Should the bleeding come from i a cancer of the bowel, immediate operation and removal of the ■ growth are indicated. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ! L.

CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT ELAJNE turned swiftly to Cathy. “Come home with me, Cathy?” she begged. “You. too, Mark. I'here’s plenty of room and you .an be comiortable." "Thanks, Maggie will be woniering about me,” Cathy protested swiftly. Elaine laughed. The laugh sounded almost gay and the sound □f it startled her so she put her hand over her mouth, wide-eyed. “Golly, I never thought I’d laugh again, only the thought of Maggie oeing worried about you—Cathy, ■ our house is literally bursting at -he seams with kicfe of all ages rnd colors. Maggie has been rounding them up and taking them nome with her and parceling them jut among her neighbors, until I’d venture to say that at least ninety per cent of the small fry is in that neighborhood. And Maggie’s having so much fun looking after them, I doubt if she’ll miss you. Come on, Cathy. You need sleep and you’ll find it at my house—but not at yours.” "She's right, Cathy,” Mark said. “You’re coming too, Mark. The hotel’s damaged so that you couldnt go back there. The building inspectors are going to have to examine all the structures in the path of the storm before anybody can move back into them,”

said Elaine firmly. She slipped a nand through each of their arms and drew them with her* Cathy was too bone-weary to • argue. She knew that she and , Edith Kendall fought every time ( they came within sight and sound . of each other; she knew, too, that the house was Edith Kendall’s, not , Elaine's, and that any invitation should come from Edith. She told herself wryly that she was much too tired to argue, even with Edith Kendall; and since it took two to ■ I make a fight— She reminded herself that she was becoming light- . minded with fatigue and offered , no protest as Elaine gently pushed ! her into the station wagon. . The handsome, stately home of ’ the Kendalls had missed the full force of the storm, though it, too, showed signs of the ordeal. Sev- , eral beautiful trees had been up- . rooted, one of them falling across . the greenhouse, turning it into a r mass of broken glass and potting tables and steel framework. The windows of the glassed-in veranda 3 had gone, and a huge live oak had crashed flat across a corner of the .. kitchen wing. But as Elaine parked the station wagon and drew Cathy and Mark with her up the side ■ terrace and into the house byway n of a French window, she assured them that the damage had been enough to disrupt the entire housen hold. “We're still functioning,” she said, striving hard to sound light e and gay. “But only on a sort of fifty per cent plan.” As they came into the living e room, Mrs. Kendall was coming 0 down the stairs, and she called a out, "Is that you, Elaine? Is Bill ■"; with you?” “No, Aunt Edith—l haven’t seen Bill,” Elaine answered as Mrs. k' Kendall reached the doorway. “But I’ve brought Cathy Layne and Ma-

jor Graham to breakfast. And then they want hot baths and a good bed and quiet for at least twelve hpurs.” Mrs. Kendall’s eyes flashed a little as she looked at Cathy, but with an effort she made herself speak with a sort of cold graciousness. ’T'm so happy to have you both I’ll see to having food prepared immediately. Elaine, show them to whatever rooms you wish.” And without waiting for them to answer, she turned and went down the corridor toward the servants’ quarters. “Don’t mind her,” said Elaine, and her tired mouth was- a little thin. “She hasn’t been herself since she discovered that Bill had gone AWOL this morning." Upstairs, she showed Mark to a room, and led Cathy across the hall. She brought Cathy pajamas, a robe, slippers, and a new toothbrush from the guest closet, and assured herself that her guest had everything to make her comfortable before she took herself off. Cathy was too exhausted to be more than aware for a moment that she was here where she had never expected to be —in Bill's home, the reluctant guest of an unwilling hostess. But consider- , ing the circumstances, the fact did not bother her too much as she , trailed into the bathroom and set the water running.

She donned the pink pa- 1 jamas, knotted the belt of the soft pink robe about her slim waist, and I came into the bedroom to find a npaid setting down a well laden ' and very appetizing tray on a : small table beside the chaise longue. She had finished her meal and was relaxed and peaceful, too weary to make the effort to get into bed. when there was a knock at the door. Thinking it the maid come to remove the tray. Cathy called. “Come in.” And then she got to her feet politely as Mrs. Kendall came in. “Sit down, do,” said Mrs. Kendall almost crossly, her voice slightly thickened and not quite steady, her eyes red-rimmed. “Where is he?” Cathy said quietly, “If you mean Bill—” "But of course I mean Bill—who else could I mean?” “Then I’m afraid I haven’t the slightest idea. I haven’t seen him since last night, a little while after dinner." “Don’t lie," snapped Mrs. Kendall harshly, and had the scant grace to flush a little beneath I Cathy’s look. “Oh, I know the i whole thing is a put-up job be- ■ tween you. His disappearing like this is simply his way of forcing s me to consent to hfs marrying you. t He came to me last night and said f that he wanted to be engaged to you.” > Cathy caught her breath. ' “Engaged ?” she repeated incred1 ulously. 1 “Oh, of course he wants to marry you,” said Mrs. Kendall shortly. i “He informed me that he intended l to go right away with you immet diately. and be married.

V | Modern Etiauette i I By ROBERTA LEE I Q ■ ~v Q. What is the best method to use when one wishes to interview a business man on a matter of real importance? A. One way is by letter. The most popular method is to request the interview by telephone. A third, but often unpopular way, is to call at the man’s office and ask permission. Q. If one*'is introducing two persons, is it good form to say, "Mrs. Wilson, meet Mrs. Jones”? A. No. It is much better merely to say, “Mns. Wilson, Mrs. Jones.” Q. Is it obligatory to tip a servant in a home where one has spent a single night? A. It is customary to do so if the servant has done some special service.

tion, and social standing — well, that simply isn’t to be thought of for a moment. 1 tried to make him see reason. We quarreled bitterly and he said he was leaving for good.” Tears spilled down her contorted face and as she put up her damp handkerchief, Cathy felt a little unwilling touch of pity for her. After all, she was old. and Bill was all she had to love; and if her love was painfully possessive and jealous—then, couldn’t one try to understand that? As though she resented breaking down before someone whom she quite frankly considered her enemy, Mrs. Kendall forced herself to a measure of composure. “So I’ve come to tell you that you must send for Bill and tell him to come home. That I shall give my consent to this marriage, much as I dislike to do so," she said with an effort at recapturing her old arrogant manner. “I don’t know where Bill is, Mrs. Kendall,” said Cathy levelly. “And what’s more, I told him last night that I do not wish to marry him.” Mrs. Kendall stared at her. • "That was very clever of you,” ! she said thinly. “Because of course that will make Bill all the more I anxious. You must have thought > you were in danger of losing him.” t Cathy kept her temper by a genuine effort.

“No, Mrs. Kendall, I merely discovered that I do not love Bill, after all.” “I don’t believe that for a moment!” “You should be very glad to. It means that you can keep him for yourself, doesn’t it?" There was a Uttle flash in Mrs. Kendall’s eyes and then she sighed and shook her head. "No, It only means that Bill will be more determined than ever," she admitted. "The slightest hint of opposition always acts that way with him.” She studied Cathy for a moment, curiously. And then she demanded, "After being in love with Bill all these years and practically hounding him — why should you suddenly decide you don’t want to marry him, now that he has worn me down until I’ve been forced to consent?” Cathy gave it to her straight. “I’m afraid the truth of the matter is that I don’t seem to care much for the fact that Bill was willing to let you dominate him to such an extent. Surely he should be man enough to make up his own mind." Mrs. Kendall stiffened. “Bill and I have been very close ” she said sharply. “Bill is grateful to me—feels under obligation." “There’s really no reason why he ■ should." "The Kendall estate was left to 1 me." > “Legally, of course—morally, one half of it should be Bill’s," Cathv pointed out. y “It will all be Bill’s, at my death. Meanwhile, he has had every posr sible advantage that money could . provide,” 1 "Except the privilege of making . up his own mind about the most t important matter in hi? ii* t « (To Ee Continued)
