The overload amounted to 15 tons, which in itself is quite a load for any highway to carry. The road crushers are operating daily and the paved highways are going to pieces. o o The council has adopted a resolution in favor of daylight saving time, and in observance of the ordinance on the books. The county commissioners have agreed to set up the court house clock one hour, so the time question seems to be settled. Midnight of April 30 will bring fast time. o o President Truman has signed the European Recovery bill, which extends financial aid to European countries over the next i 15 months. From headway already made over there, the next year may see almost full recovery in the countries where American dollars have been used to restore economic conditions. o o A new era of rivalry for the passenger traffic of the high seas seems to be in the making, and this time the United States will be in it to an extent never before dreamed of. A 2.000-passenger luxury liner is to be constructed for the American merchant fleet. It will be the biggest passenger liner ever to fly the American flag. The govt rnment will put up 42 million of the 70 million dollars the ship ts expected to cost, partly as a simple shipping subsidy and partly as a military investment on the basis of the value of the ship as a troop carrier in the event of war.

Inflammation of Eye Needs Prompt Attention

By Herman N. Duodesen M. D. NEARLY all diseases of the eye —serious as well as trifling—start with inflammation. This is a fact which everybody should know because neglect of a severe disorder o' the eye may lead to permanent blindness. It is true that in most casis inflammation of the eye is due to a simple, relatively harmless, condition but it may also be caused by much more threatening ones. These conditions may sometimes be mistaken for conjunctivitis, which is an inflammation of the lining membrane. In helping to make a diagnosis. It has been suggssted by Dr. Edward P. Burch, of Minneapolis, that adrenalin chloride be dropped into the eye. This will cause a reduction of the conjunctivitis immediately, but will hare no effect on the Inflammation caused by iritis, or inflammation of the colored part of the eye. »r glaucoma. In the latter condition, there is increased pressure of the field in the fyebalb Conjunctivitis usually causes only slight discomfort. The patient feels as though there is something in his eye. Usually there is some discharge present. Examination under the microscope will show the type of infection present so that the proper type of treatment may be utilized. such as antiseptic preparations or the sulfonamide drdgs. Ixitis u> exceedingly t sinful. lie

service into operation, and now has been notified by the Civil Aeronautics Beard to do so by July 1 or lose the certificate. Considering that helicopters were priced at $25,000 in 1946, and now cost around $78,000, the company probably will not fight very hard for the helicopter franchise. Helicopters might have possibili- ; ties for intercity service, over : distances too far for a taxi and j not far enough for a plane. If the little detail of cost could be j overcome, Americans might yet i see helicopter taxis begin to dot . the skies. —o o Decatur has a problem with its ; juvenile delinquents. Because they I are juveniles, this newspaper observes the code of not publishing their names, but the identity | of the youths is generally known. [ They have commited crimes, which in a few instances might he interpreted as felonies, the penalty on conviction being imprisonment. A number of the boys involved in the round-up have been previous offenders and several | are on probation. What, if any- | thing can be done to save or redeem these boys? Will sending j the chief offenders to the Plain- ! field Boys’ School correct their lawless urge? Will confinement in such an institution polish them off as finished criminals? The leaders have been given a sec- , ond chance, so what would you ’ do to restore the boys to good citizenship? o o Irish Republic: The Republic of Ireland is now formally established, utterly free I of all ties with the British Crown. Six counties of the Emerald Isle, constituting Northern Ireland, re- 1 main a part of the United King- 5 dom. The Irish political group led I by former Premier Eamon de Valera demands that the two ( parts of Ireland be re-united, ; 'claiming Ireland is not really I free until this is accomplished. I Inasmuch as the northern counties apparently prefer the British Crown, the reunion of all Ireland is not a likely prospect for the near future. One more republic has now I been added to the family of the I free nations. Its creation is part j of the world-wide tendency cf j discontented peoples to break away from the ties which they blame for their discontent, and to set up nations of their own. It is to the credit of the British government that no effort was made toward the forceful suppression of the Irish move for severance. Their attitude now may do little to erase from Irish minds the memory of the hloody suppression of the Irish revolt in 1916, but it is a sign to all of the world that democracy, in the free portions of the globe, is a real thing. Irish eyes are smiling!

i colored part of the eye becomesi ' ■ dull and the pupil may be irregular ’■ I in shape. I Glaucoma also produces severe ■ pain. The pupil may be larger than ■ normal or oval shaped, the vision is interfered with, and rainbows are seen around lights. Sometimes an ulcer forms on the i cornea or front part cf the eyeball, j This is known as ulcerative ktrati- i tis. This can be distinguished from | conjunctivitis by putting a little ' ! fluorescein into the eye. This fluo-1 . rer.cein outlines the ulcer on the ■ s cornea. i Persons who have eye Inflamma- - tion should have a thorough study ' of the eye made promptly by an eye specialist. It is Important that! early diagnosis of severe eye dis- ■ orders l>e made, so that permanent ’ I damage to the eye may be prevent-1 ed. QUESTIONS ANO ANSWERS B. J. C.: 1 would like to know the cause of falling hair, and if there is a'cure for it? 1 Answer: Falling hair may be due to the general condition, since such things as anemia and poor digestion are sometimes responsible. Resorcin and sulphur, made up into a lotion or ointment, have been found helpful. Sometimes a solution of borax is of value. .Massaging of the scalp with the I fingers is a valuable measure if carried out regularly and systematically. |

CHAPTER FORTY-ONE "WHY did Johnson come here?" "His work had been chemistry,” Mark Tayior answered. “He knew of the Center through Ingrid, figured he could get a job and be safe here. He wants to become a citizen. The worst he is up against is squaring himself with Uncle Sam. It is a serious matter to enter this country under a false name. Ingrid has 'been racked with indecision, whether to tell all ' and betray her brother to the authorities and perhaps his enemies; not to tell, protect him and doublecross the government. That agony is over. The question has been decided for her. 1 hope Johnson won't be forced to leave the Center. He's good. The country needs scientific manpower in peace as well as war." He opened the porch door, looked out, closed it, repeated the routine with the door that opened into the hall and returned to his perch on the desk. "The McGregor warned me to keep alerted for trouble after I had given him a play-by-play account of Sophy’s last evening confession. ‘She shouldn't have told in public that she was in the game I house after the shooting, she should have come straight to me,' he fumed. He fears that if her story gets to the person who shot Lander, he or she may suspect that she had seen the crime committed and try to silence her. Romney was working on the premise that she had seen more than she was telling when the chief i walked in and gummed up the works. Where is she this evening?" "Playing cards with her contract group at Beechcroft. I told her I would drive over and bring her home.” Tim glanced at his wrist "I didn't realize it was so late. Want a lift, Sam?” "I'll go the whole way. Tilly is substituting for one of the regulars. I'll pick her up and take her I home.” "Coming, Mark?" "Sure. Now that the mystery is beginning to unravel something ; tells me the denouement will come fast 1 don't want to miss a trick. Go ahead. I'll lock the portal door , and join you in front of the house. ’ After what seemed an interminable wait Tim glanced at the clock on the instrument board of the maroon roadster. He cut out the engine which had been purring softly as a kitten with its stomach full of cream. "Where the dickens is Mark? We have been waiting ten minutes. It couldn't take him al! that time to put out the lights and lock the door. I'm going in. Stay here, Sam. If funny-business is on foot someone might grab this car." The lights were out tn the Dean's Den when he opened the hall door. The smoldering fire cast an uncanny glow which colored everything blood-red within its radius. The room smelled of wood smoke and the scent of a gardenia plant in the window which Mrs. Sophy had coaxed into bloom. Only the creak of a tree in the garden and the drop of an ember broke the silence. 1 “I wonder i the person who got

0 — ,j Modern Etiquette By ROBERTA LEE 0 ft Q. How should a bridegroom ! choose his best man- and attendants? A. He usually asks his brother or his most intimate friend to be his best man. He should also include a brother or a cousin of the bride among his attendants. Q. When a guest and her hostess enter a room together, who should enter first? I A. The hostess should never go : first unless it is necessary for her , to lead the way. Even then she | should excuse herself for doing so. Q. Should the secton of a church i where a wedding is held be paid, j l and if so, by whom? A. Yes; by the parents of the bride. 1

Lander is after me?” ’ Mark’s whispered words over ' the phone flashed through Tim's ' mind and set ice cubes coasting ■ down his spine. He snapped on ! the overhead light Crossed to the i desk and picked up the slip of paper spiked into the green bloti ter with the point of a letter i opener. Someone was spying while we talked. Go on. I’m ojj on the bike. Lock the porch door. Make up an excuse to Sam. Don’t tell him why I’m not coming. There was no signature but it was Mark’s almost undecipherable scrawl. "Lock the porch door" meant that he had slipped out that way. Wherever he had gone he had ten-minutes-plus start of the roadster. “Did the Colonel change his mind about coming?” Sam inquired as Tim slipped behind the wheel. "Yes. He decided that as the servants were at the movies he’d better stick by the house. Charge that up to The McGregor's warning." "He has the right idea. Can’t be too careful at a time like this. Calamities, like puppies, sometimes arrive in litters. Corking weather we are having this autumn. Ever thought that the stars seem a little nearer and brighter here than anywhere else ? This car moves as smoothly as butter over piping hot pancakes. Look at the lights in fr.e dormitory windows. That means there's a lot of plugging going on for tomorrow’s classes. The Gls we have here are earnest workers, almost to a man." "Not all the students are plugging this fine eve. We've passed three couples who had forgotten there was anyone ii the world besides themselves.” "That's what I like about this old campus, Tim. You see life in all its stages; even "the infant mewling and puking in the mother's arms’—l’ve taken a liberty with the Bard and substituted ‘mother's’ for ‘nurse's.’ Not many of the latter these days. Sure, I'm a sentimental guy, I can see by your grin that’s what you're thinking. I love this college and I don't care who knows it How’s your job coming along?” "I'm still in the game and hitting hard. I have a secretary who is a secretary. Deb is substituting for a short time. Boy, the way tilings moved today made me realize what the word 'efficiency' means." “I've heard she was good. I don’t know why she is taking up with that heel Warner again, though, it doesn't say much for her intelligence." "What do you mean, taking up?” "Keep your shirt on, Tim. Her time is her own after office hours, isn't it? They were faring forth for a dine and dance evening at the Country Club when I left Tilly at Becchcroft before dinner." “I would have thought after her first day of work at the Center she would have been too exhausted to step out On top of taking dictation, making appointments, she straightened out the files my pre-

"Like her, don't you, Sam?” "Sure, don’t you? Besides the ■ fact that she is family—we’re a clannish lot—she is so straight, so , honest She came through the hard years in Washington without i picking up the ‘bracer 1 habit ( which pretty near spoiled a lot of girls who worked there.

' “To tell the truth, I was too | ' busy saying, Thank you,’ 'So glad you could come,' trying to Ct faces and names so I would know the guests again when I met them crossing the campus, that I didn t ’ r notice Deb and her stag line.” ’ ' Which is an awful lie, he told him- I ' self. ' In the silence that followed, Sam i slumped low in his seat and sucked ■ at his pipe, while Tim lived over the events of the day.
