For nearly five hours, three-fourths of the persons in (he Hoosier capital were without water and the danger of fire increased every minute. 1 Fortunately no disaster resulted, but the incident makes one wonder if there is away to inspect the lines before disaster befalls a community. Columbus, Ohio had a similar experience three weeks ago. —o —o South Carolina’s most eminent citizen since John C. Calhoun does not care to run again for the Senate. James F. Byrnes has been

Treating Clicking Sensation in Jaw Joint

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. o. ' A GREAT many people occasion- 1 ally notice a clicking in the jaw joint and sometimes feel as if it were going to lock during a yawn. Ordinarily, this is not a serious condition, but in some instances it becomes so severe that the mouth I cannot be opened wide enough for normal eating. In other patients, the jaw may lock when the mouth is opened, while for still others the audible clicking of the jaw at every movement is the most an-! noying feature of the trouble. Whether mild and occasional or' constant and severe, the cause of | this disorder is always the same— i a derangement of the cartilage disc between the bone surfaces which form the joint between the upper and lower jaws. Usually, this consists of loosening or en targement of the disc. Some slight injury to the joint, such as might be inflicted by too wide a yawn, may precede the de I velopment of the condition. AI blow on the joint may have the. wme result, but most cases can be traced either to the extraction of teeth or a natural malocclusion or improper bite. This causes longcontinued strain which gradually brings about changes in the cartilage In case of sudden injury, the Cartilage is loosened and thereafter the repeated twisting and snapping involved in ordinary movements of the jaw cause the cartilage to enlarge, wigh the result that symptoms are made worse. la treating this disorder, if the! bite is not proper, it should be corrected. If an i3Jt|ry has occurred

| congressman, senator, justice of the Supreme Court, director of economic stabilization, director of ( war mobilization, and secretary of state. This is a larger number of 1 important offices than ordinarily t falls to the lot of two public men. ■. Friends were projposing him for 1 the Senate in 1950, but Byrnes said he will have none of it. I o o Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer, who . is considered responsible for the ■ development of the atomic bomb, in an interview upon his return from Europe, told of the fear-rid- . den atmosphere in intellectual circles there. The fear of atomic war is not predominant among [ these leaders of thought, he said. . They fear invasion, enslavement, » and destruction of the fabric of their lives. Their universities ; need our help, he says, both in 1 equipment and in less tangible ways. Their spirits need bolstering and their minds need stimulating by our publications which show the discoveries and advancement along educational lines. Dr. Oppenheimer believes that it will take years to achieve a sense of security in the world as it is today. o ■ o Berlin Solution: It would be over optimistic to conclude that Russia is ready to settle the Berlin business, on the ( basis of its acceptance of the neutral nations’ formula for mediation. Everyone would be glad to see an end of it, but there is no sense in building up unfounded hopes. It is only by a fine splitting of hairs that the Western Powers can take the attitude that approval of the appointment of a neutral cur rency commission does not amount to negotiation under the duress of the blockade. Until the commission has made its report and the reactions of all four nations have I been observed, it cannot be said whether we are any nearer to settlement than before negotiations started. If the commission does its work skilfully and diplomatically, and in ' such away that no report is published until one has been prepared which all four nations are willing to accept, then it may be able to I resolve the Berlin impasse. If on the other hand it makes a report ■ which can only be considered a . basis for negotiation, little will be . gained. Those seem to be the limb t tations of hope for the success of I this new United Nations mediation plan. New Air Service Planned 1 New York (UP)—Direct weekly i flights will be inaugurated shortly between New York and Buenos Aires in both directions by Argen--1 tine Airlines.

I recently, splinting of the joint for a time may allow the condition to clear up without becoming chronic or long continued. In those cases in which pain is present, the use of heat, such as heat produced by using a shortwave diathermy machine, may bring marked benefit. None of these treatments will correct the condition if the cartilage is either too large or too loose. In such cases, an operation !is necessary. During the opera- ' tion, the cartilage is removed. ' After the operation the jaw is ■ kept immovable and only fluids are given fpr five days. After this time, movements of Aie jaw may ' Be gradually permitted. In those cases in which the only symptom is clicking in the joint, operation is. as a rule, not needed. However, at times the clicking may be so bothersome to the patient that removal of the cartilage ' is advisable. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS j. J. N.: My wife has enlarged ' glands in the peck. Some years ago she had tuberculosis. Could tuberculosis be the c|use for the condition? Answer: It is possible that the enlarged glands are due to tuberculosis infection. On the other ' hand, it may be due to infection of . the throat, nooee, and mouth The condition might also be due to ' some disorder affecting the blood. A careful stady of the lungs is j advisable. It may be necesury to I remove a bit of tisane from one of the glands to examine under the microscope.

In this case, merely turn both gloves wrongside out and wear them on the opposite hands. Or better still, use this method with the new pair of rubber gloves, turning them every time before wearing, and they will give much longer service.

"Bradiord," earn Alexandria, "is an idealist." Gau rose. She must get ready tor ner .ummeua engagement, sue said. She and uraa would oe name loi dinner. She told Alexandria where sue would be in tae interim, as she nau, somewnat rebeiuousiy, learned to do, ana went upstairs to areas. Un me way sue encountered MiUicent, the nanu-Ke-chiet waving like a tlag ot truce and muttering to nerseu like the White Rabbit. Gau aitorded ner a swift, sidelong smile which brought a slight tiusn to Millicent s maiden cheek. Presently Gau departed to meet Pat and her mother, Fat as radiant as mgh noon, as etiervescent as a bromide but not sedative in eiiect, ner mother placid and admiring. Alter luncheon, during which Pal never stopped talking, they went to the bridal shop in a big store and Pat tried on her wedding dress. She looked preUy as a pinup in it but, unlike most pin-ups, almost painfully childish. Gail's throat contracted watching her turn before the mirror, and the elderly fiuer, with the middle-aged spread, s»t back on her heels, with hei mouth full of pins and speaking perilously around them remarked that, as often as she fitted them, she never got tired, there was something special about brides. Pat's eyes shone, and so did her mother's; in the older woman's the shining was half anticipated grief, half joy remembered and joy prayerfully besought Gail’s frock was brought out for the fitting. It was simple and in a delicate shade of blue. The hat that went with it was big and demure, with deeper Hue flowers. Pat sitting on a stool in her slip, cried, "You look wonderful! No one will look at me except Bill, and he'll tje too scared." They talked about the wedding, which *as to be in Pat's home, and about Evie who couldn't fly on after all Gail would be the only atteadauL And then the rest of the things were brought out... not many, all carefully selected. The fitter asked, "Can’t this be nipped in, a little T You're so small," and Pat said woefully, R s disgusting to be insignificant" But she didfi't feel insignificant She knew she was the most important person in the world, except one other. The knowledge illuminated her and Gail recognized it dimly, enviously. She thought What can be Ute, trying on your wedding

She was early ano could get a table and wan. but when sne came into Ue King Cole oar, Brad robe from a big table anu waved, tine naa the reeling mat ne naa been waiting tor some lime, and not alone. Helena Sturm was wiU bun. She went to the üble and sat down, smiling at Helena, and, ue greeting over, Brad inquired, "What happened to Pat?" Gail explained, and the waiter arrived with her drink, which Brad had ordered. She lifted her gias, conscious, ot a heavy wearmess, and Helena said anxiously, “1 hope I do not intrude. But Brad insisted." She looked appalling, her face drawn, her eyes shadowed, and when she spoke her accent was more marked, her voice slurred as it with fatigue. And Gail said quickly, "Os course not . . . I'm so glad to see you . . . How is Dr. Sturm?" "Much better," said Helena, and folded her carelessly rouged lips in her secret way, away which warned, 1 am sure you mean to be kind but now it is you who intrude, and Gau felt rebuffed and uncomfortable. They did not stay at the St Regis long and when they went out a taxi drew up. Gail rarely used the car, by day, because of the parking difficulties. And Brad said, “Get in, girls." "Please," said Helena. “I can take the bus." “Don't be difficult" He put her in, and Gail, and gave the driver Helena's address They dropped her off and went on home, and ow the way he asked, “You didn't mind having her? She needed to get out and I thought we wouldn't be alone anyway." “Why should I mind? Tm sorry I asked about Dr. Sturm. I saw that she didn't like it" “She's oversensitive and scared," Brad said, "but he is better, for the time being." “Brad, please tell me what happened today." She felt tense, and coded. How could he talk about Helena Sturm and her husband, what did they matter, at thl* mo-

bride. Q. Is it proper for a man to offer his hand to a girl before she makes a move to do so? \ A. No; he should always wait for her to offerlto shake hands first. 9 0 | 20 YfARS AGO TODAY p 0 Dec. 6*— The Decatur beet sugar factory completes annual run.

The fishhook tore, it brought blood. And Brad put his arms about her.
