Hirohito's younger brother, is going to attend the Republican and Democrat presidential conventions in Philadelphia. He may get an eye ! full of big-time politics, but whether he gleans a true picture of how Democracy works when candidates for president are nomi nated. remains problemticat. Benjamin Franklin, writing in 1769, said "God grant that not only the love of Liberty, but a, thorough knowledge of the rights, of man may pervade all the na , tions of the earth, so that a i philospher may set his foot any-1 whore on its surface, and say. 'This: is my Country.'" That is the' peace for which this country and other liberty loving nations strive —— o-—o Again, it's Stassen, Pennsylvania voters write in the name of the former Minnesota governor on the ballots last Tuesday and the final check shows that Stassen ' ran first in the presidential popu-j larity contest. Dewey came* in second and Taft made* a poor showing in the "also-rans.” However.

Early Treatment for Cataract

By Herm»n N. Bundeien. M. D. CLOUDING of the lens of the eye Is known a* cataract. There •re various reasons for the tissue chances which lead to cataract. ainonK them being poor circulation and poor diet It la generally agreed, however, that when cataract appears before the age of fib It la due either to infection of the eye itself or to a toxic condition elsewhere In the body. In which substances harmful to the lena are produced. Such changes in the lens occurring after the age of fit), and the majority of c ases do occur after fib. are usually due to the aging processes Some physicians are of the opinion that these c hanges are unavoidable and cannot lie warded off. However, other doctors believe that with right living habits, such as the use of prefer diet, rest •nd exercise, and the correction of physical disorders, the development of cataract In nlderly persons often can l«e prevented The patient with cataract usually consults a doctor because of spots before the eyes. diuiMtt. or headache, or because light causes pain in the eyes In other Instances. the only symptoms of cataract are gradual loss of vision Many persons with beginning cataract, failing to realise their trouble, feel that al! they need to do la buy a pair at glasses Os course this wttl not correct their vision because the cataract blocks the pcMage of light rays Into the eye. Furthermore. the delay In having treatment allows the cataract to progress Early ctangea in the lens of the eye produce a gradual toes of eyesight in tert, the lona of vision may ha so gradual that the patient to not conscious of any in<on ventenca Later on It th* patient has hbee wearing gteas*.’ he mav Had that to sees better without

the Keystone state's delegates will go unpledged to the Republican convention, so Tuesday's vote does not give Stassen the 71* delegates. O o The unexpected death of Tom Breneman of radio breakfast time fame, brings sorrow to the millions who listened to his sparkling program. The famous Ml was only 46 years old and no doubt he* spent more than the unual amount of physical energy in the conduct of his work The country votes him an orchid for bringing so much joy and happiness to his breakfast patrons, and to those who listened every morning to his broadcasts Breakfast, without Tom Breneman leaves a void in many a home. — o o Although the three railroad brotherhoods have ordered a national strike for May 11. th* government i.i co’-'inuing nc-ntiations toward settlement of differences between the unions and railroads owners Involved in the contemplated strike are the firemen, enginemen and switchmen, numbering about 150,000 of the railroad employes. Xo railroad strike should be permitted in this country The roads are of public utility and somehow agreement must be leached so that the trains continue to operate. Even to the drastic step of operating the roads under the military, the moving of freight must lie done. Q— O The death of William S Knud sen recalls his patriotic service to his adqpted country and add!I tional proof that America is the | l.*nd of opportunity. As a Denmark immigrant. Knudsen first worked at menial jobs and later climbed to the presidency of General Motors (Corporation, which I post with its half-million dollar a year salary he resigned to enter ■ government service as wartime production c hies as a dollar -a-year * man. Knudsen was recognized as ' a genius of the produc lion line and built the automotive Industry !to the point where hi nlanta > could produce one million cars a i year. He used his talents to help the United States during the war, urging the auto plants to stop the manufacture of pleasure cars and to go into high gear on war production. Faithfully, he served 'throughout the war years and his I early death in his 69th year, is attributed to overwork during the latter period. He repaid "this I country for being good to him, " by 1 being good to his adopted America.

them This happens because the lens swells up. This does not mean that the condition is actually improving in fact, it only indicates that the trouble is getting worse l'p to the present, the only satisfactory method of treating cataract, once It is fully developed, is by removal of thu lens. Os course, the operation slmuld be done by one who is skilled In this proceJure. Before the operation the patient should be put In the best possible physical condition Following It. the patient rhottld be kept on his back for about four hours, after which time .he may be turned on either side. However the head must Ice kept flat for at lyast a Week As persons approac h middle age, they should consult an rye specialist from time to time for examination of the eyes, even if they have had no difficulty drith the vision. In this way, the development of cataract may be discovered early and proper measures taken to ward off the progress of the condition or. in any event, to keep the eyes under observation until operation to required QUESTIONS ANO ANSWERS A.

CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE TRACTS hospital room was filled with flowera and tier bedside table with notea from sympathetic friends. Everyone knew. And ev* eryone came or tried to come to see her. But the vigilant nurse would admit only a few visitors each day. Kit watched Tracy's various moods w*th her women friends—Tracy sullen, falsely gay, indifferent, belligerent Once she had seen her mouth tremble. Once there came to her eyes a desperate pleading and another time a deep loathing for herself and everyone etoe. Mike had been sent out of town on an assignment. He had called Kit and told her that he could not go into the Hilary Marshall case until he returned. Thus one anxiety was added to another She saw Kirk only once when •he went into Tracy's hospital room. He was about to leave. His being there caught her off-guard and she wondered if either hi or Tracy noticed how glad her eves were to see him and how breathless was the voice she tried to make the cool and casual voice of the well-trained secretary. Kit came tnto Tracy’s room one morning and found her doctor, Dr. Eric Fenhagtn, a spare man with a lean scholarly face and dose cropped graying hair, saying *o her, “But have a nurse for a time, Muis Field . . ."

Tracy, smoking furiously, thook her h»ad. "I will not nave one amend me. I tell you I have an efficient staff in my home and they will look after me. Don't make me feel more of an invalid than I am . . "But your case isn't mild and you will need someone tor a time to instruct you about your diet and insulin . . ." Seeing Kit, he arose and spoke to her. Tracy said, "Hello," in a bored tone. Then, turning to the doctor, "I have no personal maid. She left She was afraid of me. But I have a housekeeper and Miss Marshall. And I am not a stupid person. Between the three of us I can probably manage to stay alive I will not have a nurse. They depress me. They remind me I’m sick and fuss over me in away that drives me mad." The doctor shrugged and looked helplero. He turned to Kit. “Perhaps you would like to spend some time with the dietician here and learn about Mias Field's diet" Til be glad ta" "Good. Mtoa Field to going home day after tomorrow. I'd alao like you to know about bar njsctlons of insulin."

When he left, Tracy took a deep breath and rested her head agrinst the pillow. "I’ll give you more money if you'll do this. 1 simply can’t stand a starched white uniform crunching around me all the time. Oh, it's so—so beastly! What have I done to deserve this—this curse?** Feeling helpless and miserable, Kit said nothing. “Well,** Tracy asked crossly, "what has happened since yesterday?" “Mrs Beard called . . ." “Why didn't ahe call here? I know. She thought you'd give her more information. In hospitals they always say that the patient to doing tine. She probably tried to drain you. Anything etoe?" "Na But everyone at home will be very glad to see you. The servants, I mean . . ." ‘The cook will probably leave when she hears About weighing my food." "I'll tell her what I learn here. It isn’t going to be difficult" Tracy’s eyes were cold. "Optimtotie, aren't you? Why shouldn’t you be? You have your health." She closed her eyes tightly and her long pale nails dug into the aheeL “I'd give everything, everything I own if I could be well again. What good is money to me now? Well, don’t /;st stand there’ Go and find the dietician and learn something. And don’t come back. I don't want to be bothered." Kit left quickly, her face burning.

Tracy returned to smiling, welcoming faces, to a home filled with Sowers specially placed for her homecoming. When she stepped from the car, Gibson and Mac were there to receive her, their faces kind and friendly, their hands eager to help. Didn’t she feet it. Kit wondered? Didn’t it occur to her that these paid people were the ones who would not only do most to help her but would •too patiently bear her moods? But Tracy's face was hard, her eyes cold when she asked, "Isn't Mr. Griswold here? I thought..." Kirk—Tracy wanted Kirk here to welcome her. Mac said. "Mr. Griswold phoned and said he would be here for cocktails this afternoon." ‘ "Oh. 1 see. Very well And Mr. and Mrs. Merryman, where are they?" Kit said. They dkto't expect you'd be home eo soon. They went into town for lunch." Then Tracy aaktol, "Do I have to gs to tod. KU?"

Pennsylvania Vote Bolsters Stassen Victory Bolsters Stassen Prestige Washington. April 29 -(UP)— Pennsylvania primary returns slapped some more glitter-glamor paint on Harold E Stassen's Republican presidential campaign He did not win any delegates in Pennsylvania's Tuesday poll bnt he upped his prestige This has been a great month for the young Minnesotan He licked the field In Wisconsin April 6 and again in .Nebraska April 13. Two weeks later he was No. 1 In Pennsylvania in the number of write-in preferences to politicians who oppose him to get together on a stopStassen movement. With Pennsylvania primary returns practically complete the standing was- Stassen 74.063: Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of Xew York. 69.161; and Sen Edward Martin of Pennsylvania. 41.764 Pennsylvania's Republican na tional convention delegation elected In the primary is not bound by the write-in expression of preference for Stassen. The state's 73 delegates are committed by Pennsylvania's Republican leaders to the favorite son presidential candidacy of Sen Martin, a formef governor. There Is no doubt that the delegation will stay hitched to Martin on early convention ballots

There is not much doubt either that Pennsylvania Republican leaders generally are determined Stassen shall not raid the delegation for second choice votes But Stassen's alert and aggressive political workers will claim a talking point In their candidate's primary write-in showing. Hard headed Gov. James H. Duff in to head Pennsylvania'n convention delegation He said the primary write-in meant little or less with respect to how Pennsylvania's delegates would vote at the convention Duff should know and probably does. The primary vote itself was insignificant when compared with the polling of which Pennsylvania Is capable in a presidential election. Fewer than 250.000 votes were cast In Tuesday's primary Four years ago the late FDR and tkewey drew a combined Vote of 3,775,000 in their Pennsylvania contest for the presidency. I Political observers considered

•‘Why, na Would you like to go into the garden or ait on Ute terrace?" 'The terrace." She glanced up at the blue sky and green countryside . . . Thank God I’m out of that hospital. Thank God I'm home where I can do as 1 please.” She added sharply, "Or can 1?” Kit made her comfortable in a deep chair on the terrace. Then Tracy said, "You'll take luncheon and dinner with me, KiL You can keep a check on me to see if l‘m eating the right thinga Mac can bring me my breakfast. Oh, this to such a ghastly bore! What am I going to do ’ ith myself while I make what the doctor calls an *adjustment* ? What would you do?" Kit said. Td read the books I've been meaning to read and perhaps do some handiwork . . ." "Handiwork? What, for instance? What can you do?" Kit said, "Id like to make myself some sweaters. I've made several, it's fun." T couldn't 1 simply couldn't" And as Kit moved to leave her, “Where are you going?" "I want to speak to the cook about your diet" "Well, don't go until Tony and Anita get back. Their conversation to better than no conversation at alt Even Anita's gushing * Kit said. This to only a suggestion but If you’d like me to read to you I'd be glad to . . .** "Rend to me? I’m perfectly capable of doing my own reading. All right, run along and see the cook. Let me alone. Nj, watt How do 1 look? Tell me truthfully how I look . . ." How would she look to Kirk when he came? How would Tracy in a beige silk suit with touches of bright blue look to him? “You look rested."

Ts that all-just rested?" Kit said. "You're a little pale. I’ll bring your makeup down to you." Tracy's face softened a little. "Secretary, nurse and maid—an in one. I'll increase your salary to two hundred a month." "I d;d»T ask for it" "I don’t want you to fee! ImKXMMd uDon.” Later in tor room Kit heard Kirk's laughter from the terrace.

I Pennsylvania a write-in performlance of more psychological than other importance. Victor Johnston, manager of Stassen's national campaign headquarters. said he thought the write-in victory in Pennsylvania would have a “good effect " In Ohio where a crucial primary contest takes place next Tuesday There Stassen has invad ed the home grounds of the favorite son candidate. Sen. Robert A. Taft Johnston also expects the Pennsylvania story to help Stassen In his May 21 Oregon primary contest with Dewey. There is no doubt that the writein vote will be of some benefit to Stassen The returns are helping keep his name before the public in tbe favorable light of victory, even though no delegates were involved in Pennsylvania. And nothing succeeds like success. 0 Two Auto Companies To Cut Production Third Company To Increase Output Detroit.
