Lucas Is a progressive, a supporter of New Deal legislation and a leading voice in party organization and policy. —o —o A. P. Giannini, founder and head of the Bank of America, largest commercial bank In the nation, sees no reason for a business slump. Furthermore he said, there is little likelihood of a depression as long as Europe needs Americanmade goods in such large volume. Business may not remain at its 1947 or early 1948 peaks but even if it hovers within 90 percent of that figure, it still can be healthy and employment can he high.

Childhood 111 Moy Be Serious

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. D. REPORTS from many parts of the country indicate that whooping cough is again becoming more widespread. Whooping cough, known to the doctor as pertussis, is actually the most serious of the '■catching'' diseases of children If it is not fatal, it may stlil be the start of an active tuberculous Infection; it may be the forerunner of asthma, or it may have a damaging the child's nerves and glandular system. Whooping cough tends to occur in epidemics. It is most severe in the colder climates, and is produced by the germ known as BordetGengou. The disease is spread by droplets thrown into the nir by coughing and sneering, and Is most catching during its early stages. Usually one attack produces immunity against any further attacks of the disease. The symptoms appear about 10 to 12 days after the child has been exposed to the disorder The condition starts with a slight cough, Hrhich gradually becomes worse, and there may be some sneexing. nasal discharge, and slight fever. The attack soon becomes quite severe and. at the end of the coughing spell, the child draws in the breath which causes the whooping t-<MMd The complications of whooping ccu*| »h*t sake the disease,

Last Monday the 5,00b,000th automobile -was produced in this country this year, and by the end of the month an all-time record high of 5,358,420 cars will have been turned out the Automobile Manufacturers Association, states. The demand for new cars still isn't supplied and if the assembly lines turn out even a greater number of autos, buyers in this, country will snap them up. Employment in these modem streamlined plants should continue high in 1949. o o To his duties as pastor and spiritual leader of his congregation, the Reverend E. B. Allwardt of the Immanuel Lutheran church, northeast of the city in Union township, has been assigned the editorship of a section in the Lutheran Witness magazine. Reverend Allwardt will edit the Centra] District News in the church publication, which has a bi-weekly circulation exceeding 25.000. It is an opportunity for the Luthern Pastor to express his fine talents and no doubt an assignment in recognition of his ability to capably fill th e associate editor's chair. O 0 Anyone who becomes awe-struck in the presence of royalty should keep away from Portugal. Within > five miles of Estoril, a resprt town near Lisbon, are four ex-kings or would-be kings. These are Carol. the former Roumanian ruler who • had sijch a chequered career; Humbert, Italy's last monarch, who abdicated perforce almost before [, he assumed th e throne; Juan. Count of Barcelona, who would be king if Spain should go back to monarchy; and the Count of Paris, scion of the Burden house, who really believes that some day the French will get tired of this republic business and beg him to come and rule them. Paris used to be the homing-place of the banished royalty of other lands; but with rationing of food and fuel. Paris isn't what it used to be. —o o To the many fine entertain ments that have already been provided here, a climax to the Christmas season of parties will be the theater party for all school children, up to and including those in the sixth grades, at the Adams theater, on Friday afternoon De(•ember 24. Co-sponsored by the Veterans of Foreign Wars and Roy Kalver theater manager, plans are being made to entertain upward of 800 hoys and girls. Can you imagine the glee, laughter and happiness that will emanate from those young lungs and happy faces as they view the antics of Donald Duck, Popeye and creations of Walt Disney and other artists of Hollywood ... a whole screen of fun and merriment? The VFW will distribute sacks of candy and treats to the youngsters. The event promises to b e one of the happiest and largest of this joyful Yuldtide, and a -wonderful way to usher in Christmas Eve.

. so dangerous. The coughing may he so severe that bleeding occur : from the nose and mouth. Now and i then a hemorrhage into the brain . has been noted. The most serious i complication, however, is pneu ■ monia, in turn, is most serious in babies and children under five 1 years of age. Sometimes the coughing attacks cause the little air sacs in the lungs to dilate or stretch. This is called emphysema. There is a vaccine which will prevent whooping cough or at least make the attacks much milder. Many physicians, such as Dr. Louis Sauer of Illinois, suggest that this vaccine be given as soon as possible after the baby is three months old. and surely by the time the baby is six months old. The child with whooping cough should, of course, be separated . from well children. However, he should not be kept in a closed room, since fresh air is desirable QUESTIONS ANO ANSWERS D. 11.

CHAPTER FORTY "LET EVANS assume the responsibility, and take it a step at a time, dear," Brad went on. "We b talk it over when 1 return. Meantime I’ll get hold ot Evans." He added, "What a stroke ot luck that it should have been Sam who found him,” and Gail laughed and he asked sharply, "Are you laughing, Gail?" ' “I suppose so,” she gasped, “or else I'm having hysterics. Don't worry, Brad, too much." The ambulance came and Morrison Rogers departed. Alexandria kept to her room and sent tor her own physician. She had had, she said, a shock; she was tired and wished to rest. Millicent stayed ’ with her, reading aloud, measuring drops, coaxing her to eat from a tray, emerging only to order her own trays, and leaving Gail to nave her meals alone. Andrews was the only comforting voice in the nouse, reassuring Gail, that she was not to tret, that everything would be all right On the third day Gail went to the hospital in which tier father was recovering. She had expected Brad in, but his plane had been grounded the night before because ot weather. So she went alone, Bracing herself tor the encounter. She found Rogers looking White, thin and drawn, but with clear eyes. He was shaved, and neat, and quite unresigned. He said, as the nurse left the room, “I suppose I'm to thank you?” "Not necessarily.” "I don’t remember a groat deal, but any gutter would be more amusing than this place." He shivered, "So now I'm to go back to the gutter?" he inquired. “Why did you break your word ?” "Did I give it? Oh, 1 signed a paper but better men than I have signed papers . . He grinned at aer, dimly. "Gail, a little money is worse than none.” “A hundred dollars a week Is not a little money. Men support families on that amount, and not as many men who'd like to—” "All very true,” he conceded, "but for me it's either too little or too much. When 1 have nothing I expect nothing. 1 live by my wits, a feast today, tomorrow famine. But when I have a little, or a hundred a week, 1 want more ... I Begrudge the necessity for keeping up appearances, a decent roof, respectable clothes, three meals a day: a man on a hundred a week Is expected to have these things but he has to pay for them and there's not enough left over for amusement. Well, the agreement's gofie by the board... lU get along on my own ... as far as your worthy husband is concerned. And no hard feelings. But how about you? We could make an agreement I dare say he's settled something on you ot that you have a handsome allowance. Lump sums, my dev. one at a time ... when one's gone, then another. 1 might not need a retread for weeks . . . or 1 might need it day after tomorrow." . .

Though she should not wear white, nor a veil. 0 o Household Scrapbook I By ROBERTA LEE I I o Car Sickness The person susceptible to nausea when riding on a train or streetcar can often prevent this experience by beating the white of an egg stiff, adding the juice of one lemon and one teaspoonful of su-

"No," she said steadily. "I remember a little," he,said. “That wasn't the first time you'd been in that apartment, nor the first time you’d cried in my good Samaritan's arms." He laughed. "Sam," he said. "I remember that now. Samaritan. Not bad.” "Brad knows all about Sam Meredith." "Does ne, indeed? Perhaps I'll be able to add to his knowledge?" Brad walked in, without knocking. He asked, "Whose knowledge?" Gail rose. Her hands were Shakir g. She locked them, one within the other. She said, "Go on, answer him." “I'll leave that to you," said Rogers. "She doesn't have to," said Brad pleasantly. He put his arm around Gail and kissed her cheek. He said, "Sit down, and we'U talk this over." "I am purged." said Rogers, "figuratively and literally, 1 am weak, physically and morally. At the moment 1 am willing to take the pledge. But the moment never lasts. What do you propose doing with me?" "Dr. Evans thinks you can be cured," Brad said. “How optimistic. And suppose 1 don't want to be?" "It would then be a waste of a physician's time and ruy money to try," Brad agreed. "And if 1 say I would like to be myself again ... or the self 1 dimly remember?" Rogers asked cautiously. “Dr. Evans has a friend," said Brad, “who is chief of staff of an extremely good sanitarium, tn California. You would go there, when you are able to travel with your nurse. When you ve well again, you may choose your own place of residence—here," he said casually, "or the West, anywhere you wish. It seems to me that you would then be able not only to live on, and up to, the terms of our agreement but you might even find something with which to occupy your time.” “A dreary prospect," said Rogers. “I'm a periodic drunkard, you know,” he added carelessly. “I have my ups and downs. Your suggestion sounds like the strait and narrow path, also very level, difficult for one of my temperament To become a sober, useful eitisen at my age is a somewhat gruesome prospect But 1 see no other way out," he said mildly, “as I can intimidate neither, ot you.” He held out his hand. He said, "1 like you. Spencer, rather more than 1 like my daughter. She frightens me a little.” “I don't mean to,” said Gail unhappily. “1 don’t blame you,” her father said. “There's no reason why you should yearn over me, or 1 over you, for that matter. I don't enjoy this situation nor do 1 like what's happened to me in the last few days Make the arrangements Spencer ..." He closed his eyea. *1 think Td like to sleep, if you don't mind." he said.

This question was asked in an editorial of the Daily Democrat. Dec. 10 issue. I believe this is something that should in a growing city like Deeatir, be given a lot of thought and .ction. Some say why drive a car when ou cannot cross Monroe St? Why does every one drive on Monroe St? I believe there are a number of reasons. It is the best street in Decatur, 'the only improved street running east and west. It has two U. S. Highways, 224 and 33. These two highways could be separated by running 33 from 5 points on Adams St. to 13th St. or No. 27. This would take 33 off 2nd street; where in my opinion it is a nuis-

on the way they were silent. Just before they reached there Gail said, “Your grandmother is very much upset, she made herself ill. 1 shouldn’t have brought him to the house, Brad, but I didn't know what else to do.” “You did the right thing,” he said, "and Gran will get over it I dare say it upset her more to have you make your own decisions than what had caused you to make them." "Yes, I know. There's something else I must tell you." “No need," he assured Her. But when they reached the house she asked him to come with her to their suite before be saw his grandmother. He had not seen her, he had ’imply dropped his bags at the house and followed Gai) to the hospital. In their sitting room she lighted a cigaret and stood at the windows,' the soft spring light tn back of her. It was a good sunny day, warm and wonderful. She said, “Sam bad plans, Brad. He thought it he covered up for me th this matter that 1 would have an affair with him. I don't know how else to put it He promised my father that he would take him to the right newspaper person, someone unscrupulous, who would break the story. He half meant it Then he thought he could frighten me Into making a deal. That’s what he called it. He believed i was still so much in love with him that Td seize on it as an excuse . . . and tell myself 1 was forced into it." "And ve you still in love with him?" “No. No, I'm not Believe me, Brad.” Now was the time, now she could ask. And were you. ve you in love with Helena Sturm? Did you marry me mainly to detract attention from and to protect her? But she could not ask it It wasn’t she found, her business. '1 believe you." He smiled and said, “Now suppose I go in and tackle Gran?" When Brad had left the room, Gail stood irresolute. She thought 1 should have asked to go with him: no. gone without asking. This is my affair, whether 1 like it or ndL But she felt physically exhausted, unwilling to face Alexandria’s sharp black eyes and complacent spoken, or unspoken, I told you so. She went to her desk, sat down and turned the leaves of her engagement book, trying to shut her mind to speculation and anxiety. She was due, she saw, at a committee meeting tea this afternoon, during which plans for a large charity entertainment would be formulated. It would not be the first she had reluctantly attended, listening to the preliminary gossip, discussion, vgumenta The Old Guard would ram its ideas through, the younger women would protest ano be silenced, the climbers would eagerly agree and dream of their names and their photographs in the press. fTe Be Oonunwd/
