January didn’t get by without one taste of zero weather, which is about all most of us want. O o The sunshine removes winter's drearyness and eventually twill remove the snow. Take heart, spring is only six weeks away. o o— Party records will be made in the 81st Congress and the country need not wait until 1952, to sense how the voters feel about it. o o Stalin can set the world on a peace basis if he ends the Berlin blockade, releases the hundreds of thousands of war prisoners and restores free government to satellite countries. o o— — What might be the forerunner of ending the 14 month-old strike of linotype operators on the Chicago newspapers, was the settling of the printer's dispute with the Hammond Times, also strike-bound for the same period. The papers have 'been published through the photo-engraving process, never missing an edition. o—o— If political maneuvering means anything, it is evident that Former Governor Gates intends to contest Senator Capehart for the senatorial nomination in 1950. The two men are at sword's end and j both are trying to control the i state organization, with next year’s . election in mind. At the present i moment, neither one could win. o o The Indianapolis Star, commenting on the Republican fiasco in r Omaha, says, "The closeness of the vote for Mr. Scott. 54 to 50, | indicates how wide the split in GOP leadership is. If that split runs down through the party organization, Republicans might as well kiss their chances for success in 1950 and 1952 goodbye.” o o— The National Committee for Traffic Safety is asking lawmakers In each of the 48 states to enact ' legislation to prohibit front seat television in automobiles. No screen would be permitted, visible j to the driver while operating an automobile. A bill to that effect has been introduced in the Indiana legislature. It should become law.

What Brings On Gout Attack

By Herman N. Bundesen. M. D. IT is interesting to note that about 95% of the patients with gout are men. Just why it is that women, apparently, rarely have this disease is not known. The disorder seems to occur most frequently in men of middle ace but it may develop in persons as young as 18 or 19 years of age. Au acute attack of gout start* suddenly, usually in the early morning hours. The attack* develop most often in the spring and fall. The joints most frequently affected are those of the bk; toe. However. knees, wrists, ankles, and thumbs are commonly Involved. The spin® is rarely affected. The joint becomes swollen and painful, and the surface may l>e red or bluish red and feels hot. Recovery from the attack usually takes place within a week or two All symptoms clear up but. of course, recurrences take place. Injuries, even slight one?, may bring on an attack. Such things as an unaccustamed long walk, a golf game, gardening or lawn mowing may precede an attack. Alcoholic beverages, so-called dietary indiscretions, that is. overrating and particularly the taking of rich foods such as highly seasoned foods, and seafoods, or a diet rich in fats may be responsible. Certaiu drags, such as liver extract mercurial preparation*, and bacterial vaccine*. ma} aLo fit contribut-

Television and driving cannot be expected to mix. o o It begins to appear that Israel is firmly established as a nation. The possibility of any outcome of the Palestine hostilities which would result in dissolution or collapse of the new state now seems so remote that it can be discarded altogether. Diplomatic recognition by France and Great Britain is only an acknowledgement that the turning point has been passed. The final stamp of acceptance for the State of Israel—admission to the United Nations—remains to be given. Apparently the way is now clear for the accomplishment of that step. o o Admiral Blandy, commander of the Atlantic Fleet, says that only abolition of war or complete outmoding of sea transportation will make the navy obsolete. The Fleet Commander said that the world is still plagued by "aggressor” nations, imposing their will on weaker nations. The only way to block such aggression, Adm. Blandy explains, "is for peace-loving and j non-aggressive nations like ours to help the weaker nations to resist, by giving them financial aid, by showing them the benefits of true democracy and backing It up by possession of a strong fighting force.” Let's keep America in that position. o o— Margaret Smith, the Republican Senator from Maine, is a smart woman, and presumably isn’t afraid to express her opinion. On the question of rearmament, the woman senator takes a stand contrary to most feminine ideas. In a i radio talk, she argued, “We can't bluff the Russians. Russia must be convinced that we mean what we say.” Further, site believes "there can be no question that risk of economic insecurity I in preferable to the risk of military ' insecurity." And we don't beI lieve that Mrs. Smith has a chip I on her shoulder, nor can she be | called a war monger. Prayer: t When the U. S. Senate convened last Thursday, the acting chapj lain offered the prayer that had been prepared by Dr. Peter Marshall, Senate Chaplain, just before he died. Within minutes of his death, he prayed as follows: Deliver us. our Father, from hopes and from clinging to lost causes, that we may move into ever-growing calm and everwidening horizons. Where we cannot convince, i let us be willing to persuade, for small deeds done are better than great deeds planned. We know that we cannot do everything. But help us to do something. For Jesus' sake. Amen.

ing causes. t An overweight patient with gout t should reduce slowly, since, if fat , in the body is rapidly used up. it e may only serve to make the gout s worse. f During an acute attack, a patient i is placed on a diet high in starches s and si-gar. low in fat, and low in I>urines which come from such » foods as sweetbreads and liver. The patient is given plenty of fluids. [> Salicylates, colchicine and cinco I. phen are the drugs which may l>e :- employed to uring relief. The pa- ■ tients respond quickly to the cokhi--1 cine. Os course, any of these prepaI. rations should I e employed only under the direction of a physician. 1 Het ween attacks of gout the pai tient should take plenty of fluids. - should use a diet rich in alkalines ash forming foods, such as vegeI tables and fruits, with the exception . of plums, prunes and cranberries. and low in purines. He should avoid r alcoholic beverages, and take mild i regular exercise. f questions and answers t J. ». 8.: What is bursitis’ is It a form of arthritis, or is it some con1 dltion of the heart? • Answer; Dursltis : s inflammation : in the sac containing fluid which is - located over one of the joints. In--1 flacr.mation may occur as a result -of an injury or infection, or may be caused by overuse of the part. -| Bursitis has nothing to do with - the heart.

CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN , "MOTHER, believe me, It will be much better to drop the whole thing right here. Mark had no business coming here to bother you with it I just happen to dislike the idea of spending the rest of my life aa somebody's wife, somebody's mother, somebody’s housekeeper. O.K. ?" , "No, It is not 0.K." said Mrs. Collwell. “1 seem to be on the defensive. I want to know why.” “Mother, 1 give you my word, the less we talk about this, the better for all of us. I know what 1 am doing. You can trust me, can’t you?” . “I always have trusted you, Donna. Today 1 am not so sure.” "All right Let’s leave it there, then. You disapprove of my attitude. You are surprised and disappointed in me. 1 understand that Now, can we leave it there ?” "Na Because now 1 know it is true that your prejudice stems from something in our home life. 1 never set myself up as a model homemaker, Donna. Perhaps 1 did not always do Jie best 1 could, didn't try hard enough. Many times, I know, I fell far short of my own intentions. And 1 was often nervous and impatient and irritable. But those things are part of human nature, my nature anyhow. They aren’t entirely damnable. You can’t condemn a whole system just because of one clogged wheel" Donna smiled at her with sudden warmth. "You had a tougher job than most," she said affectionately. "You not only had to mother David and me, and Mark Banister, but all the rest of our friends as well. Along with half the town’s stray dogs and cats for good measure." “1 still want an answer to my question—Mark’s question.” “Mother—" there was desperation in Donna’s voice—“if you force me to go into this, you will regret it as long as you live.” “Na 1 won't, Donna. Because it concerns you. Because it concerns us. I know now that something rather tragic is back of it but certainly 1 will not regret knowing and doing what I can about it, as much as 1 would grieve over shunting it aside and washing my hands of IL” “Come into the other room," Donna said harshly. "Let the dishes wait 1 could kill Mark Banister tor this." “Why, Donna? Mark has a right to get to the bottom of this. You let him go on loving you for eight years. You encouraged him to love you. Now suddenly you turn quitter. That is not like you, Donna, and it is not just to Mark. And it is unfair to me, because the implication is obvious.” “You won’t like it,” she said wamingly. “I do not expect to like It But 1 do not like the way it stands now, cither.” "All right Mother. You asked for it Here it is. Do you remember the time, eight nine years ago, when Dad, our father, was giving that redheaded widow such a CoonWKe IMR, 67 BtM

Na thank you.” "I didn’t know you knew about that Donna," her mother said slowly. "I'm sorry. 1 tried to keep it from you children. 1 tried to keep it from everybody." "I know. It was on the afternoon of my sixteenth birthday that Mark first told me he loved me. I loved him, toa 1 had always loved him. I was in ecstasy. That night at the big dance you gave for me at the club, 1 discovered that my father was indulging in an extramarital affair with the redhead. Well, it didn’t cure me of loving Mark. But it cured me of marriage.” "You have always seemed so fond of your father, Donna,” she murmured wonderingly. “Os course 1 am fond of him. Love dies hard, you know. I think maybe iove is something like marriage. It get* to be a habit They’re both ruts you get yourself into and have the devil's own time getting ouL And besides, ' Mother, 1 was as disgusted with 1 you as with him." 1 “Because 1 had failed to hold him?

For the sake of I keeping your nice home and your respectability, for the sake of . social security, you smiled through • the degradation of it A divorce . would be embarrassing. Your do- > mestic security was more impor- [ tant" "You’re wrong about that Don- ! na. At least 1 think you are • wrong; 1 do not feel very sure of myself right now. But 1 am r sure it wasn’t that It was for the sake of the children, preserv- . ing the home, the family. They ! seemed more important to me than ! my personal pride." "The usual alibis, Mother. It all ! boils down to the same thing.” “I offered Alan a divorce, Don- ■ na. If he wanted to marry her, I t was perfectly willing to go away 1 and get it quite respectably, but i he didn’t want to marry her. He 1 wanted to preserve the home, toa" 1 Donna’s laugh was bitter. “Um! Quite the family man!

•Too disgusted with me," her mother reminded her of the former word. “Well, yes" was the defiant answer. **l still do not see what 1 could have done, Donna. 1 did not know you so much aa suspected what was going on. I did not want you to know. Would anybody expect a woman to call her children together and confide that their father was unfaithful and hold a conference as to future procedure? 1 offered him a divorce He was sorry, ha was ashamed of the whole thing and he was trying to get out of it 1 still think the family integrity qras more important than my own feelings. And even then 1 was not quite sure whether my love or my pride suffered more deeply." "Let’s skip it Mother. It’s all over now.” "Oh, na Donna. It’s only beginning. You see, your father and I still believe in marriage, home and family. To us, they really are sacred. We want you to believe in them, tn spite of their imperfections." “Oh, cheer up, Mother," Donna said, with a sorry attempt at lightness. “It isn’t so bad. I may very likely get married some time. 1 really expect to, after 1 recover from Mark. And it will be a good marriage, too, oh, very good! And 1 shall be callously indifferent to him just aa soon as we leave the altar. Then when he gets bored and begins playing around 1 shall not be hurt That's why 1 could never marry Mark. Til never marry anybody 1 care anything about But if will be an eminently good marriage tn the worldly meaning of the term." Tn justice to your father, Donna, I want you to know that be really suffered over it" “When it was over, you mean. When he was tired of.it and the game no longer amused him." T think he suffered while it was going on, toa He told me about it as well as he could, when it was over. He didn’t try to excuse himself, he knew it was inexcusable. But he made me see how gradually, almost unconsciously, he got into it and how he drifted along until he was in too deep; how he tried to get out and couldn't I could see it from his point of view." "So can I," said Donna. T shall understand my husband perfectly —because I shall get there first and know all the answers beforehand.” “Do you mean you think Mark would be untrue to you?" T didn't think my father would either!" was the defiant retort T wont say I was happy about it, Donna. 1 wasn't I suffered frightfully, in my affections, in my confidence and in my pride. But there were many compensations, Desma—you and David, moat at all. But there were others, toa And the quiet happy yean we have had together lately, our understanding of each other, Alas and I—they an compensating.” (Ta Ba Coatoumdj amxM w fix r«sm aneeami

Full Recognition By U. S. To Israel President's Action Is Hailed By Jews Washington, Feb. I—(UP)— President Truman's action granting full diplomatic recognition to Israel was hailed by Jews today as a boon to the infant nation. Eliahu Epstein, Israeli representative in this country, declared that “the gratitude of the people of Israel goes out to the President of the United States ...” Mr. Truman granted full recognition to Israel and the neighboring Arab state of Trans-Jordan yesterday. He thus kept a promise to Israel that he would take action as soon as the country elected a permanent government. The election was held Jan. 25. Recognition of Trans jordan was viewed here as a step to alleviate possible Arab displeasure. Two officials of B’nal B'rith, national Jewish organization, were present when Mr. Truman signed the recognition announcements. They were Frank Goldman, president. and Maurice Bisgyer, secretary. The chief executive’s former business partner, Eddie Jacobson, also was present. The granting of full, or de jure, recognition by the United States was seen here as improving Israel’s chances for admission to the United Nations. Some diplomatic quarters be-
