We doubt if the people want a sales tax either. The money might be raised through an excise tax, which would not affect all commodities and be less troublesome to handle. —o The desire for peace must come from the heart and vibrate in the bosom of man, before the world enjoys this much desired blessing, Nilkanph Chavre, member of the Indian congress and delegate from that country to the United States, said in a speech here. Man cannot built peace, but must have it in his soul, the statesman said. o o The 400 million Chinese will nev-1

Experts on international affairs and those acquainted with conditions in far off lands, declre that the people do not want communism and that if it is forced on the Chinese, the invaders will eventually be absorbed by the native people.

Stretched Air Sacs in L unas

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. 0. THE lunge are made up of millions of little sacs called air sacs. When these air sacs in the lungs become dilated or stretched, the condition is known as emphysema. This disorder may be produced over a long period of time. It may develop after a long period of bronchitis or asthma, or it may come on quickly in a patient who had an attack of virus pneumonia or bronchial pneumonia Emphysema produces such symptoms as shortness of breath, wheeling. coughing, and the bringing np of fluid material from the lungs The chest also enlarges from front to back. The coughing and expec toration not only indicates infe< lion in the bronchi or tubes in the lungs, but may also be due, in part, to reaction or sensitivity to dusts and other materials. Before starting measures to con-, troi the bronchial infection, the doctor often suggests that steps be taken to dilate the bronchi. One drug found effective for this purpose is known as aminophylline. This can be given by month tn the rooming on arising Small doees of a sedative or quieting drag, knows as phradbarbhal. may also be found helpful When there is a great deal of expectoration. a fine spray of a solution of epinephrine from a vapor teer i» also beneficial. A few whiffs of this spray on arising and in the afternoon will aid In opening up the passageways In the lungs ahd help to get rid of the secretions. I MVcuae* ths coughing and

of different kinds giant crabs and beef, followed by desert and coffee. What are you waiting for? —-O O— —r President Truman walks with the crowd as he crosses Pennsylvania Avenue wh&n going to his office from Blair house. He objected to the special traffic light set up for him and said he preferred to walk along with other pedestrians, watching the regular red and green lights for his signal to cross the street. There is something really wholesome about the man. —o —o — The average American farm is one third larger than at the beginning of the century, now measuring ordinarily 195-acres, accord ing to an investigation made jointly by the Census Bureau and the Bureau of Agricultural Economics. So far this increase is at the expense of the medium-sized farm. There are more small and more large farms than in 1940. One encouraging fact is the increase in the number of small farms. It would be a sad day for the United States if farming ever became an occupation conducted exclusively

by large-scale operators. o o Change In India: A new life is seen for the sixty million untouchables of India. The government Assembly has abolished all the laws which previously gave legal support and respectability to the discriminations enforced against the untouchables. Continuation of the old ways by force has became a crime, punishable under the law. But. untouchability has been an Integra] part of the caste system, which is so old in India that no one knows how it began, or when. Change has been going on, and the lot of the untouchables has been Improving slowly, so slowly that it could hardly be measured by years, only by generations. The gains have been greatest in the cities. The new laws are partly a recognition of change that has occurred, partly a hope for greater changes in the future. Castes exist in many parts of the world, but in India they have been an inflexible skeleton within which a man is born, lives and dies. Gandhi held no seat in the Assembly, and no one pointed to any new incarnation which might be his, but the hand of the murdered Mahatma helped to write tl!ese new laws. ’For a score of years he had fought tot the outlawing of untouchability. His followers see victory for him in the step which has now been taken.

I wheezing take place at night, and the same type of epinephrine spray ■ will be helpful in relieving these symptoms. If shortness of breath occurs at night, aminophylline also may be administered. After a period of time, in a large number of cases, the aminophylline often does not bring relief, in which case epinephrine is substi tuted for it. If shortness of breath persists, complete rest in bed and the use ot a preparation known as demerol often is helpful. The breathing of oxygen also is of value. In order to overcome the infection, the various so-called artibiotic drugs mas be used, such as penicillin and streptomycin. The preparation to be employed depends upon the type of germs producing the infection. Patients with emphysema get along best in a warm, sunny climate. However, change of climate alone is not sufficient to relieve the disorder; drug' treatment is also necessary. Many patients with emphysema get along better if treated in a hospital.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS R P.: Please tell me about pinworms. Answer: Pinworms are brought into the body probably by water or food. The moot common symptoms of their presence is itching about the opening of the rectum. Treatment consists of frequent washings of the infected region, and enemas to remove the worms from the rectarn-

CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO BRAD HAD MADE her rest fatter ner bath and now it was ‘close to the tune when they would be expected by the Wades. Gail finished dressing and they went downstairs to took in on Alexandria and MiUicent before leaving. It was unfortunate that, after a pleasant dinner, the Wades' neighbors, from the next-door apartment, dropped in. "1 asked them," Mrs. Wade told Gau, "as you and Betty Know each other and she's anxious to see you again. They moved here last tall, we became corridor and eievator acquaintances. They seem exceptionally mca and have a charming little boy.” "Betty I" askeu Gail, and no warning bell rang in her mind, occupied with other matters. "Her name is Rolland," said Mrs. Wade, "but we're already on an informal basis. Surely you remember her ... small, fair, looking younger than sue probably is? hue was married before, she told me, to a newspaperman. He's been very successful lately ... 1 don't remember ms name." • "Sam Meredith," said Gail “Os course. I'd forgotten Betty's married name.” She was aware of Brad’s quick glance al her as he sat across the room smoking with, and talking to, his host. "Rolland is likable," said Wade. "He's in the insurance business. He hooked me, almost before 1 knew it, not long after they moved here. As a matter of fact, be did me a real service.”

Gail said, “I'd like to see Betty again." She saw her, shortly afterwards, looking blooming, as blonde, almoat as childish m appearance, but a little rounder in figure. She and net husband greeted Gail with cordiality, and Betty said, "It’s wonderful seeing you. 1 assure you 1 meant to write at the time of your marriage but young Pete was busy* having measles—" They had ao time alone until Gail was ready to leave, when Betty foßowed her into the Wade guest room. She asked, "Do you mind my saying how glad I am tor you’ I was afraid it would be Sam." "It wasn’t," said Gail evenly. "Obviously. But the indications ... 1 mean, you can’t help heartap things. Weil, you're safe, I’m safe, and Sam's God knows where. California, or was It North Dakota? 1 don’t read him. 1 used to and maybe it's silly of me, but I just don't any more. 1 wish you'd come to see us, Gail. 1 like your husband so much. He and Peter got along famously. 1 warned Peter, 1 said, ’lf you try to sell him insurance. I’ll break your neck!’ Anyway, do come. Toung Pete’s at the entertaining it destructive stage, which reminds me we left my sister with him, not that he eeds a sitter when we’re next door, his lungs are all right" Gail said she would and presently found herself in the car, driving home.

Torque, Climbs, Glides Confuse Would-Be Flyer

(This is the second in a series of articles by Ken Bernstein, Daily Democrat reporter, who is taking flying lessons at the Decatur airport.) We were cruising at 1,000 feet when John Rogers, my ever-patient instructor, brought up the first of many complications. “When you make a gliding turn you run into torgue,” he remarked.; It would appear that torque is caused by the corkscrew force of the slipstream. This wind hits the I fin when you climb, pushing the : plane to the left (port, that is), and , the pilot has to compensate for it . by using right rudder. While I grasped the dual con ] ' trols Rogers executed several climbing turns, and when we were at 2,000 he told me to take us up to 3,000 with 90 and 180 degree turns. This added the third dimension to flight as I knew it. He explained that climbing turns .must be executed with a gentle bank, lest the ship slip and possibly go into a spin.

Gail thought angrily. Brad spoke again. "Hello?” he said. “There’s a long distance call coming through, Gail. 'Bye, dear, I’ll see you Uns afternoon."

Gail s eyes sought and Miuiceat s eyes avoided tUspi it Alexandria wished two or a aueea handkerchiefs that was ner attair. Theirs was not to question why, theirs but to fetch anu carry. Alexandria was entirely capable ot barking, "Milhcent, leave the room!" in fact sue naa just done so, it more prettily phrased. Hunt the handkerchief, MiUicent, arm take your time about it. Alexandria, like everyone else in the world, was unpredictable and inconsistent. Gau thought, She s talked this over with Mi’licent, worn ft to rags by now, why go into this Kt tor my benefit? But Gail had no way ot gauging how much Alexandria said or didnt say. She realized that Alexandria considered Millicent a bloodless shadow, schooled to obedience, with unseeing eyes and deafened ears, and that MiUicent was aware ot, and accustomed to, this attitude. Bcmetnnes Alexandria treated ner companion as if she were a dictaphone, sometimes as « she were a mirror, and again as ts she were aa audience, applauding a the right places.

hand, if the nose is titled too high and the air speed falls too low, you might go into a stall. Then we tried some gliding turns down to 1,000 feet. To do these the throttle is pulled out, though it's beyond me what keeps the plane up when the propeller is idling. But It stays in the air, falling at about any rate of speed the pilot wants it to. : In both the climbs and glides I was using the throttle for the first time, and getting a feeling of the I mighty reassuring power of the i Cessna 140.

The sun was looming low ahead 'of us when Rogers brought her 1 down at Liniger field once more. Both of us were slightly discouraged at the confusion I’d showed upstairs. One important thing had been accomplished, though. The tilting earth, ringing ears and sinking stomach were sensations I was noticing less and less.
