Besides bountiful crops, there are untold reasons why the country could have two Thanksgiving days. • o o Plenty of campaign promises were made in the recent weeks. ’ but none mentioned mercy for turkeys at Thanksgiving time. — Not many of the Old Guard will return to Congress next January, a fact which assures the country that liberal legislation will have a chance of survival. , o 0 Someone has at last been hired' for a job paying $15,000 a year' which has been vacant over three years. It's the vice-presidency, • o o One of the queerest facts about: life is the way men blandly assume that they are the superior sex. Women know better, but are sensible enough not to argue the point. ! o o —— I Next year the tax forms will be j changed, says Treasury Secretary: Snyder, making the income tax' blank easier to fill out. This 1 change will be welcome, but what is really needed is one making | the tax easier to pay. The directors of the Chamber of Commerce have approved the holding of another street fair and agricultural show next summer. Final decision will he let to the membership and a vote will be taken before plans are undertaken. The 4-H club programs should j be encouraged and enlarged with the agricultural aspect of the fair. ——o o Republicans should be given the opportunity to vote for Senator Taft for president. Since Dewey has fallen by the wayside, many • of the Old Guard want their champion, thq Senator from Ohio, to run for the presidency. If Taft can be re-elected two years from now. his age may not keep him from getting the GOP nomination. The voters could then decide if they were ready to go conservative with Taft. ,

Pain in Lower Part of B ack

By Herman N. Bundesen. M. D. TODAY when a physician is confronted with a case of pain in the lower part of the back he is likely to think first of the little cartilage discs which act as cushions between the bones of the spine. He knows that in this area these bits of cartilage must support a good deal of weight and are likely to be ruptured, with the result that the bones of the spine are allowed to press pair fully on the spinal cord. It is only recently, however, that attention has been given to the fact that the same thing, occurring at a higher level, may account for a great many cases of neck and shoulder pain. Discs high in the spinal column support less weight than those lower down. but. at the same time, they are narrower and more delicately made. It has been found, for instance, that the disorder can de velop in the neck region following very minor injuries, such as those involved in the sudden stopping of an automobile or a slight fall. These cases are usually characterized by recurring stiff neck, and pain in the shoulder and arm. The pain is made worse by sudden movement of the head and neck There is often tenderness over the spine, and there is an increased amount of protein found in the spina! fluid. Sudden stretching of the neck, coughing, sneezing, or strain may aggravate the pain ami produce a feeling like an electric shock shooting into the little finger. There may be numbness and tingling of the thumb and fingers. Often the pain is made worse when the patient remains in one position for any length of time; thus he may sometimes have to get out of bed several times dunng the pjgb-t ip u effort to obtain relief.

While construction costs are high and municipal financing has its limitations, it is not impossible that an adequate Civic Youth Center could be built in Decatur. Cer- • tainly, there is a need for such a place. The Teen Canteen has served an excellent purpose, but present quarters are not sufficiently large to accommodate the city’s teen-agers. If efforts were directed toward a youth center alone, letting the dream of a Community Building come later, we might be surprised what might be done in support of this worthy project. o- —o The nation observes another Armistice Day and our thoughts go back to the eleventh hour of the eleventh month in 1918, when hostilities ceased between the j Allied Powers and Germany. The Armistice did not bring the expected peace to the world, nor did the destruction of most Germany and the taking of Berlin in World War 11. Those who advocated that the American army should have marched into the German capital 30 years ago, have seen a turn ' of events since 1945. One thing is embedded in the hearts of Ameri- . cans and that is the debt we owe to those who fell on foreign soil in defense of this country’s ideal |of freedom for all peoples. No one can approach Armistice Day without reverence, for today We honor the hero dead. i —o—o— Census Questions: Many people would like the I Census Bureau to do their work I for them. Questions to be asked . in the 1950 census are now under | compilation and the requests for I inclusion are many. A group of lawyers would like to know how many persons have made their wills. Some churches want to find out how many believe in God. In vestment houses would be gratified to learn how many people work for a living, and how many live off investments. Another business group thinks that the governI ment should find out how many families have bought burial plots. The chances are that few of these queries will get into the final questionnaire, unless the American Statistical Association, chief adviser of the Census Bureau, thinks them suitable. It is alI ' ready believed that the Association will turn thumbs down op statistics as to the number of blondes, brunettes and redheads. If the information seekers ob- ■ tain no more reliable information ■ than the pollsters did several weeks ago, all the data will be of , little use to the country.

. The patient usually holds the as- • fected shoulder raised, and the s head may be tilted forward or r towards the involved side. s X-ray examination of the spine ■ is helpful in making a diagnosis. In treating this disorder, stretch- ; ing of the spine may give permaI nent relief. If. during the stretch- • ing process, the patient is com- “ sortable but the pain recurs after > the stretching is stopped, a well- . fitting brace around the neck may t be employed. • Forcible movements of the neck 1 when there is a ruptured disc is a ■ dangerous procedure and may lead I to severe damage to the spinal cord. i If there is pressure on the spinal • cord, or if pain or muscle spasm is . produced after several days of • stretching, an operation is usually • I advised. At the operation, the ruptured or damaged disc is remeved. The outlook for these patients ■ depends upon the amount of dam- ’ age which has occurred to the spinal cord. The numbness, tingling. and muscle weakness may I persist for some months after an ' operation. If symptoms such as those due to a ruptured disc occur, an immedi- ■ ate study by an orthopedic specialI Ist should be carried out. He will t determine whether or not this dis- ! order is present and the type of treatment that should be employed for it. QUESTIONS ANO ANSWERS M.

Instead she accepts uie courtship of wealthy Brad Spencer, whom she does not love out greatly respects. She is entirely honest with Brad as to her feeling foi Sam. her tear of poverty, tier lonely outer ch.ldhood. Brad falls completely in love with her out realizes he nas a powerful rival m Sam. whom Rusty cannot forget. Brad’s austere Victorian grandmother is greatly worried over ms new found romance. She invites Gail to tea to 100 H her over. Late next night Brad and Gall drop into the Storh Club, where they meet Sam. who is in a desperate, jealous mood. Gali swears she is through with Sam, out spends a miserable, sleepless night brooding. CHAPTER ELEVEN BRAD CALLED at noon. She had no engagement until two, and had slept late. She was alone in the flat, drinking her coffee by the sunniest Window in the living room when he telephoned. He asked, "Are you all right?” "Jm fine.” “Could you bring yourself to dine with me again? We have unfinished business to discuss." She did not want him to come back here, no matter what the other girls might leave unsaid and ■ said. After a moment, "All right • . . suppose I meet you, around s ven, at the same place?” The work went badly, the photographer for the fashion magazine was testy and fault finding. The lights were blazing hot When she had finished she ached, and there was barely time to get home and dress. She would be late, she thought looking at her watch. Pat, bless her domestic I heart, had ironed some blouses for I ner. Gail selected one, white, with ' a little frill and put on a black . suit and her fur jacket and went, I hatless, to the door. Evie was out but Pat was tn. cooking dinner for Bill. It smelled good.

"Have fun," said Pat. "Evie’s off with the new man again. She says it looks hopeful." Gail waited awhile for an empty cau to pass. She was shaking with nervous unpatience when one cruised around the corner and she put up her hand to attract the driver’s attention. But the cab wasn’t empty. She had been mistaken. It stopped and Sam got out He said, “Just in time to take you to dinner, r.usty.” "Sorryshe said, “I have an engagement" "My error. Let me be the first to drive you there,” he said, and stood aside. “I hope it isn’t in Westchester.” There was nothing she could do, short of making a stupid scene. She got in and Sam after her. ••Where to?" he asked politely. She told him, setting her little jaw, and Sam repeated the address to the driver. "Nice, select place,” he approved, “extremely expensive and refined, like, I assume, your host" She asked, “Sam, what’s the use of this? You’re being absurd . . . and last night you were—” •Truthful," he interrupted. He put his arm around her but she sat rigid by an effort of her will I power. ‘ “Deep-freeze ?" asked Sam. "Well, that's awfully interesting, dear." . 1 "It's no use," she said again, “none at ah. not ever.", "GaA don’t be • foot" be said

"I won’t promise you any- i thing ... except that I’ll love you. i I’ll get away from you when and 1 if 1 can—if ever two people belonged together—” "You thought that once before.” ‘ "No, I didn’t I fell in love with Betty, yes, but—” 1 "I don't want to hear about it.” "Okay,” he said. "With you it’s 1 different . . . which is a cliche 1 if I ever heard one." She said, "1 won’t marry you, Sam, not if you beg me to, every day for a hundred years." "This is the last time,” he told her. “And I’m not begging. I'm asking." "No.” "It’s too bad you picked out Spencer," he said, "though wholly comprehensible. 1 hate being sorry for the guy, but 1 am." She said, leaning forward, "Stop at the next comer, driver, please.” The cab slid obediently to a stop but Sam put his arm across her, and held her back. "I’ll be a gentleman," he said, "if it kills me." He got out and addressed the driver. He said, “Take the lady to her destination, Eros, she has a rendezvous with Uie national debt." The door slammed, the car moved on. Gail looked back, and saw Sam standing there, tall, a little stooped, under the street lights. The driver asked, "Is he nuts?” The tears rose in ner throat, and she said drearily, “In c way, I suppose he is." She wanted to cry, Turn around, somehow, anyhow . . . catch up ’ with him . . . Let me open the ; door and say, Darling, get in . . . Promises are stupid. You make

them as a frightened compassionate child, a child afraid of shadows and ogres, a child who has learned too early to love, to pity and to resent that she must For love and pity are burdens, and a child is not very strong. Forget the quiet hands, brushi ing your heavy hair, forget the sacrifices and the weariness, forget the slow step on the dark stairway and the voice imploring. Give me your word. Forget the warning and the shaken breath, and the breath which was silent and the strange man saying, "It's I over." i But she could not When the cab stopped again Brad was there, waiting. He put out his hand to her, to help her, paid the driver and took her inside the restaurant He said. "You . look as if you had seen a ghost” “I have,” she admitted, and added, "two." “I've ordered dinner,” he said, "and Martinis. I hope that’s all right . . They had an uncrowded corner table. The cocktails came and Brad lifted his glass to her, smiling. He said, 'To no more ghosts . . During the dinner be talked and she listened.

U, 1928 was Sunday. 'Cooks' Corner' — BY MARY R. SMITH Serving Low Cost Meals In June of this year, an article that appeared in newspapers throughout the country abc”t a college foods instructor who had provi ed that it was possible to serve bal- ' anced, nutritious meals for 88 cents a day per person caused a great deal of comment from questioning homemakers. Miss Lura Morse, home economist at the University of California college of agriculture, and her students prepared two sets of meals each costing 88 cents in all for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Is it possible to serve meals for as little as 88 cents? Yes it is, and I have a better story than Miss Morse and her students had to prove the joint. Here it is: Senior home economics students I here at Purdue must live in what is

tions and the shadow of what may well be a permanent terror ... I am talking about the people who worked obscurely, each on his own job, each on a piece of the explosive puzzle . . . knowing very little until it was put together . . Now, it’s day by day, and step by step." She asked, "Do you think I could possibly learn something about it?” “I am sure you could. How good were you in math?” he asked, smiling. “Not very, I’m afraid." “Never mind,” he told her about some of the men with whom he worked: and the one woman tn his particular department . . . "very attractive,” he said, "very brilliant . . . She’s an Austrian . . . our side got her out, and over here, a long time ago. There’s quite a story attached to it.” “What does she look like?" “Not like the accepted idea of a hen scientist,” he said, "with a string of degrees. Small, fair, quiet. .. and about thirty-five.” "She sounds perfect, for you," said Gail casually. "But isn’t That’s the unfortunate part You don’t fall in love where it’s sensible. Besides, she is married.” “And her husband?” “He’s here, too. That is, what’s left of him.” Gail's mind shuddered away from the opening chasm, filled with darkness. She said, "Poor thing—" “Yes. Both of them. Let’s talk about pleasanter matters." "For instar.ee?” "Us,” he said promptly. "Let’s stay here until late and talk about us. Mainly you. 1 wish this was a small town and you had a targe devoted family and I could march

up the front step every evening and be looked over by your father Maybe he'd like me after a while 1 shoot a fair game of golf, ano play good contract. Your little brothers and sisters would hang around but 1 would sit them out in the living room. And perhaps your mother would indulge me after a while, coffee and doughnuts on winter evenings . . . lemonade in summer . . He broke off. “Have I said anything to hurt you?” he asked. "No, of course not.” But she was conscious that aer hands were unsteady, and her mouth. He said contritely, "I’m sorry. Gait 1 was just thinking ... how hard it is to do satisfactory courting these days. It’s always over bars and tabletops, in cabs, at theaters . . ." She said, “Not always. You must know a great many girls with—living rooms and devoted families, i even in New York.” T do indeed," he said, “and I want none as them. But we must 1 talk, you and 1 ... if we are as I hope, engaged to be engaged. After we’ve talked come the preliminaries we have skipped . . the bus rides and the drives into the country, tn the spring; the movies, and the plays, the weekends tn Connecticut with my grandmother ... she has a hideous old house there, or didn't 1 tell youl” (To

called a home management house for a period of four weeks. The houses accomodate six girls and a supervisor. While the girls are living in home management house they have a series of responsibilities, each of which changes at four day intervals. One of the responsibilities that the home economics senior must accept is that of being I cook. She buys all the food, plans her own menus, and does the cooking. The cook is allowed 65 cents per person per day for food. That s 23 cents less than the amount Lura Morse and her students allowed themselves in planning low cost meals. It seems like the impossible, but I have yet to hear any of the girls say “I couldn’t do it.” Nor have I heard reports of students not getting enough to eat: on the contrary, girls seem to gain weight while they're in home management house. Not only must the meals stay within the budget, but they must be-bal-anced, nutritous, flavorful, and colorful to be scored high. How do they do it? Well, that’s going to be my story for you in January, for I’ll be cooking on 65 | cents a day per person myself in i one of the Purdue home management houses for senior home economics students. It isn't easy to prepare low’ cost meals, but the following suggestions will, if remembered, cut the total day by day food expenses. 1. Plan menus for a week at a time. 2. Make a market order before shopping. 3. Buy fruits and vegetables in season. 4. Know the “best buys” and most plentiful foods on the market. 5. Buy less tender cuts of meat. Don’t neglect variety meats. 6. Utilize all leftovers wisely. Trade in a Good Town — Decatur
