While control methods and new types of borerresistant corn were adopted, the experts knew that the sure way to minimise the evil of the borer was to find an insect which was its natural enemy, this new fly. which looks like a house fly. is doing the job" Many human might feel that they have been mistaken for a corn-borer. o 0 Eyesight is one of the most precious and irreplaceable commodities in the world, but it is not valued as it should be. A midwestern doctor, making a study of public lighting, remarked, "it is a ten to one bet that any drug store, fruit store or sugar market, at night will have a level of; general background illumination from two to five times as high as will be found in the nearest library.

Diagnosis of Sinus Not A Iwoys Easy

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. DJ INFLAMMATION of the sinuse« han been called the great American headache. l»e< aiiM so many people *eem to nutter from it. But. even though sinus Infection In so common, it in not always easy to diagnose, despite the fact that we have a number of different methods for this purpose at our command Sometimes, of course, the diagnosis can be made on the basis of symptoms: but. in many cases, this is not enough for certainty, and we must then turn to other methods. One of these is known as transillumination The patient is seated in a darkened room and a light is shone through the sinuses If there Is an infection in the sinus, the light will not pass through it. An Inspection of the inside of the nose often will show pus coming from the infected sinuses Neither of these methods is absolntely accurate. Inspection of the nose and the presence of pus would make a diagnosis possible in about three out of four cases. The transillumination is only satisfactory la about one out of three cases. X-ray studies are helpful In about Win of the cases ■till another method of making a diagnosis is to irrigate the sinus with a salt solution. The washing from the sinus will show the presence of inlet ted material if sinus Intectloo is present. The seme prumdure is also help fol la treatment For this purpose the sinuses may be washed oul either with a salt solution or wltt a solution of sulfathiasole or pent <-Ulin. It Um been suggested, how ever, that the use of the suit sola tict i« jast M ettecti.a * br.sg ahoet a ewe of the coaditiw

read in a fruit store. Public n braries recognise that their light tag is apt to be unsatisfactory I. The objection to doing anythin! t about it is their rnesger allowanct of money. 1 ___ o o To our way of thinking, tbt l " group of men who tried to pro mote the candidacy of Genera ’ Eisenhower in opposition to Presl 1. dent Truman, did a disservice to the Democrat party. The balloon ’ they inflated in favor of Eisen hower burst in their face and now C they must maneuver a landing The country would be proud tc have General Elsenhower as its 1 president, but that gentlemen said 1 No” to a draft movement months ago. Even though some of the political leaders think that Mr 1 Truman doesn't have a chance ot ■ election, the people may feel dis- • ferently about the men. Mr. Truman has done his best in one ot the most difficult periods in history. If he had had a Democrat 1 congress he would have been able to push through legislation helpful to the people and the voters may decide to give him that chance. —o For Clean Water: Indiana and seven other states of the Ohio River Valley have banded themselves together in a compact which is aimed at cleaning up the streams of the valley. The eight are pledged to make the Ohio and its tributaries clean enough for recreational use, for safe public and industrial water supply, and for the general functions a stream is expected to fulfill. The compact represents something new in dealing with regional problems. Two or three states sometimes co-operate In area developments. but the joining of eight in ho great a project is tailed historic. The federal government has become mildly interested in cleaning up the Ohio Valley, and the last Congress appropriated 326.500,W0 to build a sanitation laboratory at Cincinnati and to set up a fund from which communities may borrow for sewage plant development, interstate problems generally are I considered to be in the federal pro- ! vlnce, hut it has often been difficult to obtain large appropriations I for projects sectional in character. Stream sanitation Is ot high Im- , portance. from the standpoint of health as well as of preserving . the beauty and usefulness of 1 streams.

' as Hff the sulfathiasole and pent- ! cillia preparations. No matter what solution occurs after two to four treatments. If the washing of the sinuses does not bring about Improvement, some type of operation to establish permanent drainage may be required Allergy or sensitivity seems to play a part In sinus Infection Many patients with a sensitivity to dust or pollens develop a chronic nasal discharge, with swelling of the lining membrane of the nose. Os course, these things Interfere with drainage from the sinuses and often are ac companied by a chronic sinus infection. In such cases, treatment of the allergic condition also la necessary Attempts should be made to find the substances to ' which the patient Is sensitive and to avoid contact with them QUESTIONS ANO ANSWERS P. 0.; I have a daughter that is f thirteen years of age.

"He said the I only East Bran Arid people he'd seen today were Carol Thompson and Ralph Estabrook, and they didn’t count" Andrew spoke quickly. "He saw ’ them? When?” "I don't know; he didn't say. Sometime this afternoon, 1 guess.” •’lt was this afternoon,” Ellery i volunteered unexpectedly. ”1 was there when they came by. Ralph said they were going up to his - shack in the hills, and that's a . long drive, so he filled up his tank.” : “Where docs Eph live, by the j way?” Andrew kept his voice casual "1 want to see him this evening about something." “I'll show you, Mr. Paulson," Ellery said. “Time 1 was going home, anyway.” Ellery was mute with admiration of the Cadillac all the way to the large sprawling house where r Eph lived with an assortment of > relatives The piazza ran the whole width of the building and halfway , down the sides as well As far as Andrew could see, every one of the j Inhabitants was rocking on that porch—each tn his own tempo.

He grunted a greeting to y Andrew, waved a hand at Ellery, a who was walking home from there. h and said. “Glad to see you. Won't e you set a while?” Andrew lowered his mice. “I need your help. Eph.

Andrew twitched a mobile eves brow at his friend. “How did you n know there was trouble?" n "Andy," Eph said, hoisting hte , bulk around in the seat so that he could look aquarely at hia friend's face, "unless you've got money to squander, you'd better never play poker."

I hope my Samaritan instincts don’t land me in a i plaster cast!” “1 gather it's a long drive.” Andrew's profile was lean and tense in the light from the dashboard. "Not so long In miles,” Eph corrected him mournfully, “because we don't stay on this road. But it's terrible rough later on. You'll have to go alow then or bust your springs." “I ll 'bust* his when I get there," Andrew said with compressed fury. > He hated the thought of his friend i Sayre, hunting through the night i for Carol—an old man with a i weak heart. She ought to be i spanked—hard! i Eph sighed. "Better begin to slow down, Andy. There's a short > cut we can take in a mile or so.” f The short cut proved to be a I small graveled road in decent condition which, Eph swore, cut off ’ about seven miles. The two men > rode in an anxious silence. When Eph finally pointed out the nar- • row, rutted tone which led steeply f uphill toward the “shack," An--1 drew sat straighter. It waa almost f ten when they got there, but their I reward was the light which came f in a thin thread from behind the i drawn curtains at the windows. ! 'They're here." The headlights t picked up Ralph's car, parked at one side of the clearing around the , house. Andrew got out, and Eph > followed him. Apparently they had ■ approached silently enough to give > no warning to the two within, for , everything was quiet. Suddenly they heard a high-pitched laugh. : a giggling, foolish laugh that ended in a surprised hiccup. I Andrew strode to the door, i knocked once, and opened before the sound of the knock had died on the quiet evening air. Ralph ’ Estabrook, sprawled tn a big chair, goggled at them, his mouth a mlly gaping hole in his vacant face. Half on his lap. half on the arm i of the chair, waa Carol She waved i an airy hand at Andrew and lost . her balance, falling half across Ralph. “Hail the conquering (hie) hero i comes!" she intoned. Andrew picked her up. and sat i her on the floor, since she coaid l not or would not stand. Ralph i weaved to his feet, then, a faint I belligerence beginning to supplant r the silly smile. “You le' my girlalone,” he said. (. Andrew paid no attention. He t strode to the rear of the one-room - shack, where he had spied a small r sink with a pump.

I handkerchief. Dry your face, Carol" A commotion behind him startled him, and he wheeled around m time to see Ralph mixing it with Eph. At any other time, the sight would have made him laugh—the slim wiry young man, still more than half drunk, and the portly, middle-aged Eph. Ralph was lashing out with surprising force, but Eph, light on hu feet as so many stout people are, moved with as- * tonishing agility. Even so. Andrew was afraid of what would happen if Ralph could land only one blow on Eph's well upholstered midriff. He moved to help his friend, and came down on the floor with a crash that jarred him from head to feet When his head cleared, Ralph was lying beside him, feebly stir* ring, and Eph was dusting off hia hands with a professional gesture "What happened?" Andrew demanded, rising slowly, and feeling his anatomy for Injury. "She tripped you,” Eph said, jerking his head toward Carol *1 saw it out of the corner of my eye.” “Yes, but what happened to Ralph ?• “Oh, him!" Eph said with heavily assumed nonchalance, but his pride shone through, nevertheless "I hit him . . . When you fell down, he was foot enough to turn his head to look, and laid himself wide open.” They stopped talking then. They led Carol to the car, Andrew making sure she had left nothing telltale behind her, and put her between them. The drive beck passed In bleak silence until they were nearing Branfleld. Then Carol spoke. T suppose you'll make the most of thia—both of you," she said with the undiluted bitterness of youth. “I suppose you'll spread it around.” “You underestimate our respect for your grandfather," Andrew said reprovingly, still angry at her. Her voice was hard. "My mother drinks, too," she offered in roundabout extenuation of her escapade. “So what?” he said roughly. She started to cry. aad Andrew cringed Inwardly, but he kept Ms tone unsympathetic. "Do you admire your mother?" he asked. She did not answer for such a long time, that he was about to repeat his question when she •poke. "I see what you mean,” she said. “No, I don't. Not really ... I've always envied her. 1 guesa She's so beautiful, and she wears lovely clothes, and leads a very—gay- life . . . But I don’t admin her." "Do you think she’s happy ?" "Oh. no."
