The Body's Policing System

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. 0., THE lymph glands are a part of the body’s police system for handling unwelcome and dangerous invaders. There is a whole chain of these glands in the neck where germs from the nose, throat and ears are challenged, removed from the circulation and rendered harmless. Since they deal so constantly with germs of every kind, it is not unusual for the lymph glands themselves to become infecte_d and enlarged. When this occurs it is important to determine the cause of the enlargement so that treatment may be started at once. Most Common Cause The most common cause of enlargement of the lymph glands is probably ordinary sore throat and tonsillitis, but it may also be due

to a much more serious condition — tuberculous infection. JTnfortunately, this disorder does not immediately call attention to itself. There is some swelling on one side of the neck, which may enlarge until it is about the size of a walnut. But there is no pain and it may be weeks or months before the infection breaks through to the surface. Tuberculous infection of the lymph glands, although, it does not occur as often as it used to, is most commonly due to the drinking of infected milk and can be prevented by the proper pasteurization of milk. In those parts of the country where milk is properly pasteurized, tuberculous infection of the lymph glands is rare. Enlargement , of th? Ivmph glands >n the neck may be due to such general disorders affecting

greased, powerful political machine. Stassen invaded the state and made an heroic efforf'to make ). more than an average showing, |t hoping to elect at least three or more delegates, but winding up 5 with only two. Dewey, we do not t believe, is the answer to Republlt. can prayers, but he has away of * keeping hfhiself out front, which [. in these pre-convention days may 1 result in his nomination for presiI, dent next June. _ o o o Information from the National t Dunking Association states that bakers of America are ready to present a new doughnut, or rather 5 a half doughnut, to be known as s a dunkerette. It is designed for ■ dunking. Emily Post gets credit for a great deal of glee among dunkers, and perhaps for higher 1 anticipation of the debut of the - dunkerette, because she recently ‘ reversed all previous decisions by ! saying that dunking may be done. • Her manifesto said that to avoid social error the doughnut should 1 be broken in half and dipped neatly. o o— — Scout Leaders: On Friday, the nation will observe the 36th anniversary of the founding of the Girl Scouts, which had its inception through the inspiration of Juliette Gordon Low in Savannah, Ga. The first troop was formed with twelve members and the movement has spread to all parts of the country. Decatur is proud of its several Girl Scouts troops. Then, as now. girls welcomed . Scouting. Juliette Low's problem was to find leaders and advisers among her grown-up friends. In spite of its continued growth, thousands of girls are still waiting to join new troops. The Girl Scouts are not merely the wives and citizens of tomorrow. They are good citizens today, serving ohurches, libraries, schools and welfare agencies. They are part of a world organization that works for better understanding among peoples of all nations. The local need, the sponsors say. is for more grown-up friends who will follow the pattern set by Mrs. Low who was not too busy, too tired, too deaf to hear the voices of the girls of America. Local I troops need women to volunteer I two or three hours a week as j leaders, men and women to share I hobbies with troops or serve on | committee. Enthusiastically they say, “Your time and interest will be the best birthday present they could have, and the realization of a great American's dream.” — !

i the blood as leukemia or Hodgkin's ■ disease. A type of tumor, known as a lympho-blastoma, may be responsible. There is an acute infection that occurs in young adults and children in which there is fever, enlargement of the lymph glands in the neck, as well as in the armpits and groin, redness of the throat, and an increase in the number of : white cells in the blood known as i mononuclear cells. This disorder, I known as infectious mononucleosis, ; lasts for about three weeks and | ! clears up without any particular | - treatment being necessary. Os course the lymph glands in the neck may also enlarge as a re- - suit of cancer in the mouth, throat, s and larynx or voicebox. Syphilis 1 is another cause of the enlarge- » ment of these glands.

Thus, every enlargement of the lymph glands calls for a careful study by a physician. It may be possible to tell the cause merely by the type of enlargement and ascertaining whether or not the glands are painful. In some few cases it may be necessary to remove a small bit of tissue from one of the glands and to examine it under the microscope in order to make sure of the diagnosis. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS C.

When a girl has chosen her parents’ wedding anniversary for her own wedding day, how would the wording appear on her wedding invitations in order to include the anniversary? A. The anniversary cannot possibly be included. The only thing to do is to tell the friends that she is going to be married on her parents’ anniversary and possibly another cake in memory of this can be included at the reception. Q. When a man te eating in a public dining room and a woman stops to speak to him, should he rise?

CHAPTER THIRTY AT THAT POINT, McKee came to life. He produced the slip of . scratch paper he had found on Nye’s desk on the night the painter i died. He read the scribbled figures I aloud, “74,000 multiplied by two." He said he had confidently expect- i ed to find some such sum Unpor- j tant in Mike Nye’s holdings. “Can i you tell me, Mrs. Wardwell . . . ?” ■ The figures meant nothing to 1 Angela. “1 dcn't know what Michael had. We never discussed it." < Genevieve Treadgoid kept glancing at her watch. She was going ; back to Ohio. She had tc catch the one o’clock train at Bridgeport I in order to make connections tn New York. "Mr. Harris will see me there safely. So sorry not to have had longer with you, Angela . . Rattling her bracel ts and chains, she went presently, accompanied by Mr. Harris, swathed in an ankle-length ulster, tils umbrella clasped to his breast. When they were gone. Angela spoke of what had happened in Clearwater. “They told you, Inspector?” "Yes, Mrs. WardweD." McKee spoke without accent Both women waited for a conclusion concerning the appearance of the blood-stained envelope In the vicinity of the boarding house "You, or one of your party . . .’* No such conclusion was forthcoming. The Scotsman merely said, “We’ll have to wait until we know

more,” and passed on to another 1 subject. i He explained the two-pronged 1 effort on which the police had been concentrating. It was vitally important to establish the identity of the man or woman who had removed the leopard from Catherine's apartment in advance of murder. It was equally important to find the visitor who had gone to see Michael Nye after Angela left i the Fifty-ninth Street apartment | and before Catherine arrived. When they succeeded in answering these two questions, the case would be solved. Neighbors, tenants, the personnel of both buildings, were being questioned exhaustively, so far without result. But it would come. His attitude was one of di .issal. Both Angela and Catherine fastened their coats and rose. McKee detained Catherine. "I’d like you to remain for a few minutes, Miss Lister." Angela looked blank, "She's very i tired. Inspector.” ' “I’m sure she must be. 1 won’t keep her long, Mrs. Wardwell." , Angela wasn’t pleased. Trum- ! ley will take me out. I'll send him back for you, Catherine.” Trumley ’ was the local cab man. Her aunt went then and Catherine was alone with the Inspector. McKee didn’t waste any time, i There was a briefcase on a chair 1 on the other side of the room. He unstrapped the case and took out g a long envelope, a fresh white clean one. From the envelope, he e removed two oblongs of folded pas per. Advancing toward the chair u in which Catherine sat, he held the l missing bearer bonds out, L mg her face, her eyes.

Catherine was sharply startled. She forced herself to inertia, looked at the bonds tn silence, her lashes lowered. How had they gotten here? How much did the Inspector know? Had Stephen Darrell i brought the bonds to McKee him- ! self —or had he left them some ■ place in Clearwater where they had ■ been found and forwarded by the ; Sherifi or the State police? She i had to be sure before she spoke. i The Inspector said. "You evl- , dently recognize these. Miss Lister, i You saw them earlier today, didn't , you 7” i It was useless. She couldn’t deny it. When she didn’t say anything. ; when sne simply stared at him , whitely, mutely, McKee tried her with names in order. “Captain Bray had them? Miss La Mott?” "No . . . No." “Stephen Darrell?" Catherine was helpless. She couldn't pennit anyone else to be unjustly accused. She didn’t answer. Her expression answered tor her. McKe" had made the experiment deliberately. He was pleased at Catherine s response. This girl was incapable of a convincing lie. She might want to tell one, she simply couldn’t carry it o 9 successfully. He had had to assure himself that this was true. The pressure against her was mount‘-.g. The DA.'s office, was clamoring for her arrest. He wanted to prevent it if he could. "Well, Miss Lister?” As long as he knew sc much, he V-* ft ft 11

had to know it aIL Sitting stiffly ( upright, smoothing wrinkles out of , her gloves, Catherine told him , what had happened, in careful , words. When she finished, McKee made some sort of sign to the State trooper in the hall, a door opened and closed distantly, and Stephen Darrell walked into the room. He hadn’t gone to New York. He had brought the bonds to the Inspector himself. He smiled at Catherine, said with friendly ease that he had called the Inspector, fiad been told where he was and had come on here. She nad been balancing on a tight rope suspended over space. To find her feet on firm ground was a heavenly rest. But not. for long. If Stephen Darrell hadn’t concealed the bonds in her room up in the boarding house in Clearwater, and she had never really believed he had, then it was someone else . . . The Inspector went after him about it. "You’re sure you didn’t see the person leaving Miss Lister’s room after planting the bonds, Mr. Darrell ?" "I'm sure.” Stephen was crisply emphatic. "But you have an idea, a sus- • picion of who it was?” Stephen’s smile was a dark spar- . kle across the fatigue of a face ■ whose expression, in an odd way, ■ reminded Catherine of Angela's. > There was the same rocklike com- • posure to them both, a composure > that was guarded and watchful. • "Look.

plenty ur lueas yourself. 1 presume that what you want from me are facts. I’ve told you everything I know." McKee doubted It mightily. Catherine Lister had corroborated t>arreu*a story, in pare It wasn’t the important part. There were various other considerations. The Scotsman studied the younger man thoughtfully. He was attractive, likable, gave an impression of controlled strength and mental toughness, of a reserve that wasn’t cold, of thinking plenty and saying only a fraction of what he thought He had a lot on the ball, there was no mistake about that. McKee had encountered murderers before who were just as direct and as seemingly straightforward. The ex-Navy man might be telling the truth about the bonds, or he might not There were other considerations. Invariably, Darrell was around whenever things happened. He had been outside Michael Nye’s apartment at close to the time Nye died, he had returned the silver leopard with which Nye was killed to Catherine Lister’s apartment, tie had been instrumental in the successful eluding of the police on the journey to Clearwater, and while there, he had—happened—to hear someone tn Catherine Lister s supposedly empty room. AU this simply because he was engaged to Miss Harriet La Mott. For an engaged man, Stephen Darrell managed to give a remarkable amount of his atten-

tion to extranequs things, people, i among them the girl with the chiseled white face looking bleakly out into the snowy garden. McKee chot a sudden question at him. “What were you going to see Michael Nye about last Friday night. Mr. Darrell?” It caught Darrell off base. "I . . .” he paused. The pause was scarcely perceptible. "I expect to go out to the Philippines shortly. I Mike Nye had been there. I wanted to talk to him about equipment, the climate, and sc on.” Except for the hesitation at the start, it was smooth, too smooth by a mile, McKee had a sudden illogical conviction that whatever I the purpose of Darrell’s purportedly abortive .visit to Nye-on last Friday night, if was closely connected with the painter’s death. He had the same feeling about Michael Nye’s having elaborately made a will in Catherine Lister’s favor when apparently he had nothing to leave her. Apparently ... In both cases the feeling was very strong, as far as his real business with Nye went, Darrell wasn't going to give of his own accord. Well, there were other ways ... At his question and Darrell’s answer, there was a slight tightening of the skin over Catherine Lister’s delicate bones, a faint contraction of her mouth, a darkening of her gray eyes. The lines of her, long-legged, oddly graceful figure drew together. When he let Darrell go and began probing, he i didn't get anywhere in particular, I but the result was at least interi esting. s (To Be Continued)

James Out Os Race For GOP Nomination Assumes Duties At Butler University Indianapolis, March 11 — (UP) The Republican race for the gubernatorial nomination was narrowed down to only two candidates today, as lieutenant-governor Richard T. James took over his new duties as vice-president of Butler university. Meanwhile, governor Gates announced he would support the bid of Walter Helmke, Fort Wayne attorney, for the top spot on the G-O-P ticket. The withdrawal of James from the race had been expected since Saturday, when Butler officials announced they would ask the Portland, Ind., attorney to become vicepresident and treasurer. James succeeds John W. Atherton, who died last June. Helmke and Hobart Creighton. Warsaw, remain as the only two announced candidates for governor in the Republican party. Creighton, speaker of the state house of representatives for several sessions of the general assembly, was the first to announce. Creighton yesterday, however, filed for renomination as a candidate for representative from Kosciusko county. Creighton said the action did hot mean that he was withdrawing from the gubernatorial campaign. The Warsaw poultryman tsaid he would be “willing to serve another term as representative if I am not renominated for governor.” “I think I will be in a stronger position if I am renominated for representative,” said Creighton. The party primaries will be held May 4. more than a month before the state Republican convention here. The Hoosier governor, who is barred by law from succeeding himself. made the announcement that I he was supporting Helmke at an address at the Howe military academy at Howe, Ind., last night. And senator William E. Jenner, R., Ind., the big question mark in Republican circles, remained just that.
