HAIL THE SECTIONAL WINNERS. 0 o The March winds doth blow, clearing the path for Miss Spring. Don’t take a chance on running your automobile without the 1948 plates. Police and sheriff officials Will arrest all violators. o o The American Red Cross is the concrete expression of the generosity and concern for human suffering of the American people . . . Secretary of Navy Sullivan. o o Milo Glendenings district in Hartford township, was the first to complete its soliciting for the Red Cross fund. In the mile-square area the residents donated $27.50. If that average is maintained throughout the county, there is no doubt about the success of the drive. o o A magazine racket was exposed in Warsaw the other day. A crew of 28 men invaded the town and started to sell magazines with the old sales talk of getting “points so they could go to college.” They collected about SI,OOO before authorities ordered them out of town. Veterans need not sell magazines as a means of getting to college, because under the G. I. Bill Uncle Sam will pay for their higher education if they want to enroll in school. Magazines can be purchased from our local news stands or through newspaper offices. o o It won't be long until the calendar will bring the fishing season. In this country, fishing is more or less a restful sport, except on the coasts where it becomes a commercial enterprise. A booklet reminds us that in other countries, fishing is an occupation, in view" of the number of hooks sent abroad. The little Iceland island ordered 120,000,06'0 cod and halibut hooks last year from American manufacturers, which in the language of the fisherman must mean that fishing is good in the North Atlantic or that it takes a lot of bait to catch the big ones.

if Kidney Is Acutely Inflamed

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. D. AFTER the acute phase of a disease has passed it often leaves behind it permanent damage which will prove a disability for the patient as long as he lives. This is never more true than where acute inflammation of the kidney is concerned. If chronic Inflammation of the kidney is to be prevented, this acute stage must be recognized early and treated. Unfortunately, in many instances this disorder starts gradually and, in mild cases, may even pass unnoticed. In most of those affected, however, there are certain symptoms to put the patient and his doctor on guard, such as slight fever, some pallor weakness and edema, or puffiness due to retention of water in the tissues. In any case where there is douht, examination of the urine will reveal the true nature of the trouble because the urine contains albumin. red blood cells, and casts, which are molds of the tiny tubule in the kidney. A rise in the blood pressure is also often present. In most cases, recovery occurs within a period of six weeks. In those cases in which high blood pressure is present, the outlook for the patient is not so good. A test, known as the sedimentation test, often is helpful in determining the progress of the condition. This test is made by determining the speed with which the red cells settle out of the blood. If the kidney condition is becoming worse, the sedimentation rate is more rapid if acute nephritis 16 of the mild

many of United States Military Governor Lucius D. Clay detect a faint note of optimism in its conl. tents. • t Industry in southwestern Germany has increased by more than * one-fourth over 1946, and steel t and coal are being produced at a steadily growing rate. The food [ distribution system has not collapsed, though the supply is shorter than earlier in 1947. Although black market operations still flourish. an over-all decrease in crime - is observed. No epidemics have occurred, and no increase in disease is noted. It has been Russia’s habit to keep all railroad cars which have entered her territory. The number ; lost in this way has reached 4,000. ; However, before the end of Decem- ; her, they returned 1,300 of these, showing a slight tendency toward co-operation. This very gradual rate of improvement may turn out to be healthier than would a sensational boom. Ground won slowly and I with obvious effort is usually held firmly. If 1948 shows as much improvement as did 1947, and with ERP aid it should show much more, there will be well-founded hope for a stable economy in Germany within a reasonable time. o o Beautiful City: Thomas Dreier, is editor of a stimulating magazine, The Curtis Courier, in which he gives his slant on city beautification. He writes as follows: i When rugged individualism, which is often only rugged ignorance and selfishness, runs its course a business street is apt to > be an ugly place. Look at the thousands of business streets in the small and large cities of America. There you will find all kinds of architecture — mostly mongrel. Signs of every shape and size and color will offend your eyes. But at Williamsburg. Virginia, you will ffrid architectural unity. There it has been proved that buildings designed for business can also be beautiful. Parking spaces for customers have been provided back of the stores. Even the A&P surrendered its character- ’ istic red front and has a building , that fits the surroundings. If at any time you are interested ir raising the standards of your own town, visit Williamsburg and learn what can be done by men of good taste. The old town is so attractive that more than five million persons have visited it since Mr. Rockefeller restored it. It has been demonstrated there that cleanliness and beauty can be combined with commerce. o o Oklahoma has been legally “dry” since it was admitted to statehood.

type, the proper treatment of the. condition in its early stages is most important. This treatment consists in controlling the high blood pressure and the action of the kidneys. To control the high blood pressure, some physicians use injections of magnesium sulphate in a glucose solution, given twice a day into a vein. Sedatives or quieting drugs may also be employed. The diet should be limited during the first few days to about a pint and a half of sweetened fruit juice. An equal amount of milk may also be employed in place of the fruit juice. If the patient cannot take sufficient fluid by mouth, it should be given by injection into a vein. After the acute or dangerous phase of the disease is over, the patient is, as a rule, kept at complete rest in bed until the kidney has healed. The diet should be ; regulated and should contain enough protein, but not too much, with the elimination of salt insofar as that is possible. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS i M. B.: I had a stroke about three ■ years ago. Ever since I have had , a steady buzzing in my ear. Was , the stroke the cause of this? i Answer: The stroke may have ; been a contributory cause for the i buzzing in your ear. Ringing in the ear is due to a number of causes, such as anemia, kidney- disease, or accumulation of i wqv jn the ear. as well as an infection in the tube conneetfng the ear with the mouth.

Traffic Deaths 4 Higher In State Indianapolis, March — Increase in Indiana highway slaughter last year was second high in the nation, Col. Robert Rossow, state police superintendent, reported today. State-wide traffic deaths jumped from 995 in 1946 to 1,109 last year, an increase of 11.4 percent or 114 more lives lost. Nebraska led the nation with a 23 percent increase. Reportable accidents dropped to 69,000, due to a change in the minimum damage accident reporting law from $25 to SSO. However, 22,500 pensons were injured in crashes and the total economic loss resulting from collisions was placed at $49,905,000.

CHAPTER TWENTY “MARRY me, Catherine. I want you to marry me now, at once.” “What . . . ? Oh.” Catherine had been miles away. She looked up. Nicky was standing over her chair in the living room of the apartment on Lorilard Place. It was almost seven o’clock. They had just come in. Cocktails at the bar at which they had stopped after leaving the Sixty-fourth Street house hadn’t done any good. Nor the laughing, talking people who had nothing to worry about, against whom no tragedy pressed, who didn’t keep asking themselves disagreeable and unanswerable questions. McKee’s guess at her mental state was right She knew now ‘ that Angela had deliberately kept still about the bearer bonds that were missing, that Hat’s telephone call to Tom end Francine had been a warning to them to follow her lead. And it was the bonds Fran- : cine and Tom had been'discussing when she overheard them in the Wardwell living room on the morning of the day Mike died. Tom had spoken to the Inspector as though the bonds weren’t important. He hadn’t talked that way then. Nor had Francine. Oh, no. They were hot on the trail of them, wondering where the wretched things could be. Her own name had been mentioned as a possible possessor, and Stephen Darrell’s—which meant that the bonds had been stolen a long while ago—Stephen had been in the Pacific for almost two years. She hadn’t said anything to Nicky about it. They weren’t his relatives. “Marry you?” She smiled up at him, forcing herself to lightness. “Who said I wasn’t going to? I did understand we were engaged. Or am I in error? Out of my way, Captain. I’m going to look in the ice box, you must be starving." Nicky didn’t move and he didn’t return her smile. He kept on looking down at her, shoulders squared, hands thrust into his pockets. He was—different Catherine was startled at the change in him. He wasn’t a boy any more, laughing and light-hearted and gay; he was a man, resolute, demanding. He said slowly, “I can see you’re pretty upset. ... No wonder. I want you to marry me at once, as soon as it can be arranged. Why should we wait? Angela Wardwell’s right I hate to think of you being alone here. It isn’t safe. You’re not going to be alone any longer than I can help. Tomorrow’s Monday. We can get a license—and be married on Thursday. It takes three days.” He waited for an answer. Catherine didn’t speak at once. Their positions had been abruptly re--1 versed. Until Friday, the day j Mike died. It was she who had . urged their speedy marriage, Nicky who had held back, because of his poor head, because he was afraid to let her take a chance. She said uncertainly, “Good heavens, Nicky! I—l don’t see how I could get ready that soon. There are a lot of things I have to . . . for one thing, there’s the office. I’d have to give Tanner two weeks’ notice. And I need clothes. And »» “Catherine . . .” “Yes?” He was looking at her strangely,

Newsmen Hailed As 'Martyrs Os Press' Jailed For Refusal To Reveal Sources Newburgh. N. Y., March 1 —(UP) — Two newspapermen who went to jail rather than reveal a confidential news source were hailed as "martyrs of the press" today and were swamped with gifts from admirers. Douglas V. Clarke, 33, news editor of the Newburgh News, and I Charles L. Leonard, 27, reporter I for the paper, began serving 10-| day sentences last Friday for con- ■ tempt of court. They also were fined SIOO each, which they refused to pay. . They were held in contempt after they refused to tell a grand jury where they obtained numbers lottery tickets reproduced in the newspaper along with an article on gambling conditions in the city. They said to reveal their source would break a confidence. “You are martyrs of the press,’" said monsignor Henry O’Carroll, 82-year-old dean of Catholic clergy in Rockland and Orange counties who visited them to give them his blessing. The Catholic prelate was only one of dozens of visitors who came to the jail yesterday. “A steady stream of candy, flow : ers, cigars, cijarets and ice cream dozens of letters and telegrams and phone calls and visitors have been pouring in.” said Clarke. “We’re Worn out from being social. “It’s pretty nice to have so many friends, but the beds are hard and I’ve got kinks in my back.” Meanwhile, state Sen. Thomas C. Desmond. Newburgh Republican prepared to introduce a bill in the legislature today which would protect newspapermen from divulging their sources of information.

a flush on his lean cheeks. He turned away, gazed at a picture on the wall, turned back. “Is it Hat?” he demanded. “Are you still angry with me about her? Because I deceived you—and went out with her the other night? Didn’t you believe what I told you ... ?” “Os course I believed you. Don’t be silly.” “Then . . . ?” He was sweet and she was very fond of him and she had promised to be his wife. Moreover, she hated herself for that brief moment of weakness with Stephen Darrell last night, and determined that there weren’t going to be any more such moments. Anger at her own stupidity, contrition where Nicky was concerned, he hadn’t done anything, sent her up out of her chair with a rush. She put her hands cn his elbows “Darling, I’ll marry you whenever you wish.” Nicky was overjoyed. The rigidity, the stiffness went out of him. He took I.er in his arms and kissed her tenderly. “You won't regret it, Catherine. I promise you won’t . . .” He began making plans eagerly. He hadn’t told her before, but he had a good chance of a job with Spencer and Wyatt, the propeller people. . . . He was to see Spencer in the middle of the week. There was a future in it. Later, they’d get an apartment on the East Side, somewhere in the Sixties, and a car, and join a decent club on Long Island where they could go week ends. What Catherine really wanted was a house in New England, an old white house with a fanlight over the door and a big barn and trees. Whenever she thought of her life with Nicky, she thought of it within that frame. There would be horses and dogs and a garden — and later on, children. Nicky was wonderful with children and they adored him. perhaps .because there was a good deal of the child still left in him. She said she'd rather live in the country than in the city and he said they would live anywhere she liked. “The country’s great. The birds, and all that . . . And we could swim in summer if we got a place near the sound and near a good golf links . . .” Neither of them had had anvthing to eat and when his first transports had subsided, Catherine examined the Ice box. but there was nothing in it. She hadn’t done her usual ordering on Saturday. So Nicky went around to the delicatessen for food. He was Hght, Catherine thought. Being alone wasn’t goo.’ for her. As soon as he was gone, the shadows came back. It had grown colder, and the rain had changed to sleet. Icy particles tapped at the window whisperingly, and darkness, made up of innuendos and surmises and doubts, came out of the corners, filling her with a sensation of dread. She turned on more lamps, emptied ash trays, put fresh wood on the fire, plumped the couch cushions and went determinedly into the kitchen and started to make biscuits. Physical activity was a relief, an outlet. Flour, salt, baking powder, shortening, milk; she sifted and stirred, rolled out the board, , floured it. She was turning out

Y., president of the New York state society of newspaper editors, called for every member to appeal for passage of Desmond s bill. Attorneys for the two newsmen tried unsuccessfully on Saturday to free the men on a writ of habeas corpus, but it was denied on jurisdictional grounds. The. men have not paid their fines because their attorneys said that would be an admission of “the correctness of the conviction and penalty.” Clarke said he was particularly pleased by a gift from the local ice cream store. “I used to stop by every day after work for a fudge sundae,” he said. “Now they’ve promised to send me one every day I’m in jail.”

tne soft dough when the downstairs bell rang. Nicky had either forgotten his key again or his arms were full. She shook flour from her hands, pressed the button, put the door on the latch and returned to the kitchen. She was using the roller when there was a tap on the door. Frowning, Catherine called “Come,” craned her head around the edge of the cabinet—and put the roller down in the middle of the sheet of dough, carefully. It wasn’t Nicky who had come in. It was Hat La Mott. “Hello, there.” Hat saw her and came quickly into the kitchen. Her face under a small brown cloche was flushed from the storm and whiteness clung to tendrils of her bright hair and lay in the folds of her sheared beaver coat. She was carrying a brown morocco suitcase. * She put the suitcase down and pulled off her gloves. She seemed excited and strung up. “I hope you’re not going to kill me for barging in like this, Catherine, but I’ve got a reason. You’ll get a telephone call in a few minutes If . . .” The bell shrilled as she spoke Completely mystified, Catherine answered the phone. It was Francine. Francine asked if Hat had arrived yet and when Catherine said "She just got here.” Francine said, “That’s all right then. Now you’ll have someone with you. Hat volunteered off her own bat. It will take a weight oft Angela’s mind, she was worried about your being alone. I'll tell her when she wakes. She’s asleep now. Tom gave her a pill. We're going to stay the night here. Have Hat call in the morning.” Catherine said, “I will," and put the receiver slowly back on the hook. Hat, unprompted, had come down here to spend the night with her. Her emotions were mixed. She swung around, to find her cousin staring at her from a few feet away. Hat was smiling. Her eyes were very bright. She said gleefully, “Foxed her. Francine’s altogether too curious.” and then she came out with it in a tumbling flood “Stephen and I are going to be married, tomorrow morning, up in Clearwater. It’s all arranged. We have to leave pretty soon. The only way I could think of to get out of the house without a fuss—the only possible way—was to say I was coming down here to stay with you. You don’t mind, do you?” Catherine’s fingers curled around the edge of the bookcase. One of her nails broke. Sleet flung itself against the panes, withdrew, came back again. She released her breath gently, retied the silk bow at her throat She said calmly/“Mind? I don’t Hat, my dear, but what about Angela? Why do you hive to do it llke tk - lS? Why cou!dn t y°u wait Hat threw her own words, the words she had used to Stephen Darrell about Nicky and herself back in her teeth. 1 “Wait? Why should we? We’ve waited long enough.
