The Body's Chemical "Factory"

By Herman N Bundesen. M. 0. THE pancreas. located in the abdomen. is a little chemical factory whose importance is out of all proportion to its size. One of its products is insulin, which governs the body's use of sugar. Mck of this secretion, which the pancreas normally manufactures and feeds directly into the blood, results in diabetes Besides Insulin the pancreas also makes substances which aid In the digestion of food These are emptied, not into the blond. but in to the intestine Sometimes the pancreas be-omes infected and Inflammation of the pancreas known as pancreatitis develops. It is a serious condition, the moat important symptoms of vhich are pain in the abdomen, with sickness to the stomach and vomiting. The pain is one of the severest to which man has fallen heir. During the first few hours, the pain Is steady. Later. it becomes cramp-like and occurs at intervals Still later on. the steady pain returns In sory cases, there Is diarrhea. Frequently blood is found In the bowel movements, or the patient may vomit bloody materia! These things are due to bleeding Into the lining membrane at the taomach and bowel Aa the paacruatiti. continues. t!w» p«tier;’ may go into shock or I collapse. However it does not ap “ pear that this to usually an early s arnica of th* dUordsr ' e-rlir stags* of the the patHßt* temperature

Women are getting trfor? attention than- usuak this year since some one discovered that I*4B K the centennial of the first female rights convdhtion Reference to that event, which look place in Seneca Fails, K. Y , brings comment as to just what women have accomplished since •’ gaining the franchise Many wdll agree with the dean of Vassar College who is disappointed in the relatively few women . participating in politics. What would be the effect on the present war talk were there more women in Congress? What would happen on the whole International front if in those countries with equal suffrage the women became a political power? 0 0 With all the talk of a general for president. Eisenhower. Marshall and MacArthur, why has no one called for an admiral? Halsey, Nimitz. Spruance. King and others did great deeds. Why is there no movement to put one of them in the White House? It has always been so. In the years after the Civil War. a military record was a political asset. Yet no presidential booms developed for those great fighters. Admirals Farragut and Porter. The only admiral to be even talked of for the presidency was the hero of the Spanish War. George Dewey. Though he expressed willingness to run nothing came ot it Maybe what this country needs is an Admiral William "Bull' Halsey. o o France Alert:* Kenneth Campbell, writing to to the New York Times from Paris, avers that the Schuman government. remembering Communistinspired disorders ot last fall, has I taken steps to see that they are ' not repeated at the time ot the I Italian elections. i The protective measures taken last tall turned out to lie unwieldy and inflexible, ordered as they were entirely from a Paris headquarters. France can now be organized at a moment's notice into eight security regions each headed by a commissioner Paris forming a ninth region. A force ot more than 500.000 police is at the disposal ot the commissioners, to be aided if necessary by a metropolitan army of 465.<W». Communist agitators are making it difficult for opposing parties to bold meetings, and the government is getting ready to crack down on these tactics. Observers who have been pessimistic about the trend of events in France can take heart at these developments. Evidently the Schuman government is equipped wRh the vigor and the ability necessary to combat tfye foes of democratic government.

may range between >9 and ISI. As the condition progresses and gets worse, the temperature may rise as high as 1W degrees and the heart beats with extreme rapidity Now and then a patient with pancreatitis may develop spasms of the muscles known as tetany. This would seem to bo due to a reduction in the amount of calcium or lime In the blood Aa you know, there are many dis orders which may prpduce pain In the abdomen, together with fever, sickness to. the stomach and vomiting; hence, it is not a simple mat ter to make a diagnosis of acute pancreatitis. The physician is call ed upon to use all of his ingenuity in determining whether this common trio of symptoms indicates acute pancreatitis or something whose treatment calls for entirely different measures. The treatment of pancreatitis depends upon the severity of the conation. In some cases, operative treatment may be required. In other instances, keeping rihe pe tient at complete rest, administer lag fluids, and using other mens urea to prevent shock and collapse, may be by far th* |evt line of at tack.

"Anyone have a dgaret?" she asked in the iweet voice Mike relented. "Someday," offering her one. "I’m going to bum one from you." Anita took ths dgaret aa she took everything—as If you were specially privileged to do things for her. Sometimes Mike hated himself for being sorry for her. He recalled her wedding shortly after Tony’s release from the Army, not because he'd been invited but because it was a social splash of such magnitude that anyone who read the papers had to know about it. Her parents, he had learned later, had used their last cash reserve to see their only child beautifully and expensively wed to Tony whose background was aa good as hers and who would, Anitas dear, vague parents thought, get a Job for at least twenty-five thousand a year. Tony's own Income at ninety dollars a month was quite negligible, of course. Having seen Anita beautifully and expensively wed, her parents lived quite as Anita and Tony were living now—the constant guests erf their more affluent friend* It was not that Tony was unwilling to work. Tony had begun with self-respect aad ambition aad the natural masculine desire to support his wits. Yet the senes at jots be had bad were, in Anita s opinion, too inferior for his talents aad ability. BesAdea how could aha oo to Pains Beach is the wta-

And It , was unbecoming to a Merryman who had married a Curtis to ride • on a subway and lunch hurriedly and be too tired at night for parties. What to Mike seemed odd was that they were still tn love with , each other. They were excited . about each other. Anita did not . play around and Tony never looked i at another girl. That was all to ; the good. Mike thought. Recently i be had supposed that the goodnatured Tony had simply got out ' of the habit of working and had I acquiesced to his wife’s desire that 1 he be constantly with her. Didn't ‘ they know there wasn't anything ’ ahead for them, that sooner or later they'd wear out their welcome and by that time Tony would ’ have forgotten the little he had ’ learned in his previous Jobs? Didn't they ever intend to have any kids? All at once his amusement and curiosity of Tracy and Kit and ' Kirk*!"ft him and in its place came 1 a surprising fear. His eyes roamed ’ to the beautiful white house and * to the spacious beautiful grounds 1 surrounding it A lovely scene, serene, luxurious, homelike. But the ! undercurrents beneath, the emo- ' tions of vital people he did not like. It was in one of these rare . unguarded moments that Tracy ; turned and locked at him.

Tracy, that will be marvelous. Thank you so much, darling. We need things ..." Tracy looked at her for a moment and her glance held pity mixed with contempt. Then she turned abruptly and walked to ward the house. Anita’i pretty face wore a look of triumph. She could get the new summer evening wrap now. She would go into town on Monday morning, buy It, bring it back with her and not tell Tony until she tried it on for him to see. Then he couldn't say anything. She would charge it to Tracy's account because her own accounts had been dosed. How much would Tracy give them? A couple of thousand? Thank heaven Tracy was so rich she couldn't think in small figures . . . Later lights came on in the house shedding a pale radiance u;>on the smooth green lawn.

Summoned to Tracy's room the morning after her arrival, she found tier employer eating a hearty breakfast as she reclined on a chaise longue covered with a pink and blue floral design. There was a silver-backed mirror at her side as if she had been studying her face. They went over Tracy’s correspondence, Tracy dictating her regrets to most of the invitations. It seemed to Kst that Tracy's soda! responsibilities bored her and that she preferred to bo occupied with her private thoughts and home comfort* "I have an atrocious memory," she said to Kit "I'm afraid you'll have to learn to think for me.” The duties of a social secretary also consisted of making Tracy's few appointments in town, tavtting guests for the weekend, keeping the household accounts and, on one occasion, arguing mildly with a modiste about her tardiness in sending Tracy's newest dinner frock. When frocks arrived promptly after that Tracy looked pleased.
