NOWADAYS more and more attention is being Riven by the medical profession to the problem* of spastic children, thoae unfortunate youngster*. who. because of birth injuries or faulty develop ment of the brain, come into the | world aerioualy handicapped Some of these little patient* have what ia known as spastic palsy; and certain muscle* are In a state of almoat constant movement. Others have a rigid paralysis of! certain muscles. These (hildren often develop ueforniHies because the coartant puli of tense contracted muscles is so great that it canMot be counteracted by normal muscle groups Furthermore, the tendon* which attach these- abnor mal muscle* to the hone do not grow aa rapidly as the bone* If these children are to be helped. a careful study must be made to determine the muscles which are spastic. weak and relaxed. or normal. Braces are often helpful. It must be kept in mind, however. that such braces are u»*d chiefly to control the muscles that are overly I strong and not to support the weak muscles Thu*, braces must be < especially constructed and fitted i with extreme care.

American tourists who wish to include Italy in their visits no longer have to obtain visas from the Italian government. The Italians are diiQ>ensing with that formality. in order to encourage Americans to visit their land. In return, the United States has made special visas available to Italians This is a friendly step which ought to improve further the relations between the two countries. On tbe other hand it reminds ue that travel across many International borders still is comI plicated by tangles of red tape and restrictions. The off trial obstacles to a trip across Europe are con stantiy amazing to Americans accustomed to tbe ease with which we move about our own huge country and across the Irerders into Canada and Mexico. o oA Use hi I Citizen: I I Few men ever attained such a high degree of luibltc esteem or contributed more to bis own community through commercial de- ' velopments and exemplary. Christian citizenship, than the late Jacob I’. Habegger, business, civic and church leader of Berne. Immigrating to this country from . Switzerland when he was 20 years old. Mr. Habegger's life of 72 years in Berne, is a pattern of American success, equaled seldom by native citizens in our land of opportunity. Through his leadership and influence he became affectionately known as "Berne's Grand Old Maa Without misrmur, he suffered the affliction of blindness His was a Christian soul, which accepted blessings and endured In flrmitioa because the "Lord glveth all Founder of one of Bernes sevj eral outstanding manufacturing 1 plants. Mr. Habegger was active for half a century in the industrial, banking and civic life of his community. To hint, the Golden Rule meant success in busincbs.

Great, must have been his personal satisfaction when he was able to make two return visile to Ids parental home in Berne. Switger land Interested in missionary work. Mr. Habegger also visited China and India, when he made a world tour. He left his adopted land and home town a better plate in which to live, for his having lived the ! life of a useful citizen.

It is often wise U continue the use of braces after as operation, to prevent the recurrence of deformities. The drug, known a* prostlgmln* may be helpful to some of thesi children, since It relaxes muscle* *paam Many children with spastic pa ralyuis have-difficulty in eating and so suffer from vitamin and other detteiencies. Their diet must be wail balanced so as to include all of the necessary food, parts Since some of these < hildren expend more energy than normal children, their food intake must be greater ' It is suggested that they be given Vitamin B-comptsa. since this compound not only stimulate* the appetite but also relieves constipation Vitamin Bd. or pyrodoxine given with Vitamin K. has been used for flabbiness and muscle weakness Attention to these matters may be of greet help to the child with spastic paralysis However, one of the meet impor 'ant factors In the management of spastic (hildren is to give them tbe opportunity to play with other children Frequently, the best way to accomplish thia ia to have them play with each other In summer camps and if in

"He really was in Africa?” Potrot looked at her curiously. "Certainly. Madame. Why not?" She said almost absently, "1 don't know. He puzzles me." -Yes, Mra Cloade.' said Poirot. "1 can understand that." She looked sharply at him. An expression almost of tear came into her eyes. Turning to her husband, she said: "Jeremy, 1 really feel very distressed about Rosaleen. She is all alone at Furrowbank and she must be frightfully upset over David's arrest. Would you object if 1 asked her to come here and stay?" "Do you really think that la advisable, my dear?” Jeremy sounded doubtful. "Oh—advtsgbie ? 1 don't know! But one is human. She is such a helpless creature." "1 rather doubt if she will accept” *T can at aay rate make the offer.” The lawyer said quietly: "Do so if it will make you feel happier.” •Happier?” The word came out with a , strange bitterness.

had been brought out alive, but had died on the way to a hospital without recovering consciousness. | Poirot took the names and ad- ! dresses of the three servants' next ot kin. "It is possible," he said, "that they may have spoken to i their friends something in the way ot gossip or comment that might , give me a pointer to some information 1 badly need." The official to whom he was speaking looked skeptical. The Games had come from Dorset, Eileen Corngan from County Cork. Poirot next beat his steps towards Major Porter's rooms He | remembered Porter's statement that he himselt was a Warden and he wondered whether he had happened to be on duty on that particular night and whether he had seen anything of the incident in Sheffield Terrace. He had. besides, other reasons for wanting a word with Major Porter. As he turned the comer of Edge Street he was startled to see a policeman in uniform standing outi side the particular house for which he was making. The constable intercepted Pol- | rot's advance. i "Can't go tn here, sir," he said. , "What has happened?” > "You don't live m the house, do ’ you, sir?" Poirot shook his head. “Who was it you were wishing to i see?" > "I wished to see Major Porter." "You a friend of his, sir?” "No. I should not describe myself as a friend. What has happened?” • "Gentleman has shot himself, i I understand. Ah, here's the Inspec- . tor." The door had opened and two figures came out One was the local Inspector, the other Potrot recognized as Sergeant Graves from Warmsley Vais. The latter . recognized him and promptly made him known to the Inspector. "Better come inside,” said the . latter. r The three re-entered the house. "They telephoned through to a Warmsley Vale," Graves explained. e “And Superintendent Spence sent t me up.” 0 "Suicide ?” The Inspector answered. "Yea. Seems a clear case. Don't know whether having to give evidence at the Inquest yesterday • preyed upon his mind. People are funny that way sometimes, but I gather he's been depressed lately. Financial difficulties and one thing and another. Shot himself with h:s ’ own revolver." Poirot asked: y "Is it permitted that Igo up?" "If you like, M. Poirot. Take M. Poirot up, Sergeant." - "Yes.
