The grounds have been tailored and the square gives a well kept appearance. o—o — Many of the street markers need replacing, the signs and posts being the victims of wear and tear. Since the original signs were erected, new additions have been incorporated into the city pnd these should be marked.

Calm ment Farms will have a runner or two, but this year's entries from this famous stable of thoroughbreds do not have the color of Citation or Coaltown. The derby will attract thousands of visitors and put the sports season on i s way. o o Connecticut has cr.e less presidential possibility. Senator Baldwin, the Republicans’ best vote get’er in the state, has been appointed judge of the Connecticut Supreme Court of Errors by Gov. Chester Bowles. In accepting, Baldwin retires from politics. In 1938 Baldwin broke the eight-year-old reign of the Democratic governor, Wilbur L. Cross, known as “Unde Toby," a former Yale dean. He belongs in general to the liberal wing of the G. O. P. in the Senate. His successor will be appointed by Gov. Bowles, and presumably will be a Democrat. This would raise the Democratic majority in the Senate from 11 to 14.

Fifty-Cent Word In Med icine

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. D. MEDICINE is fend of what the ordinary man calls fifty-cent words. "Diverticula," for instance, has a very learned sound, yet its meaning is simple. You have all seen the outpouchIngs which may occur in a weakened automobile tube When the same sort of thing occurs in one of the body’s many tube-like structures. it is called a diverticulum. The esophagus or tube which leads from the mouth to the stomach, may develop such protrusions, usually at the point where the throat and esophagus meet. In neglected cases the outpouching may become very large. >The symptoms produced by this condition are: 1. The sticking of food In the throat, which is relieved by swallowing or coughing. 2. A sense of pressure in the neck. 3. The vomiting cf food. 4. A gurgling noise on swallow ing. caused by the presence of air in the diverticulum. In severe cases, there may be Ims of weight and strength Once 'tie dtaWtosis has been made, she treatment consists of operation, during which the diverticulum is removed. A diverticulum of the stomach occur* In rare instances it is most likely to develop in middle aged or tide.-!-’ people 13 practically al! aaMMM. it is found in the upper

The Veteran's Administration estimates that 1,926 veterans of World War II in the county will be entitled to a state bonus. Payment to veterans will not begin for a few years, since the first collection of extra taxes will not begin in Indiana until after July 1. The number of veterans is fairly close to the total who served in the war, unofficial estimates placing the enlistments at nearly 2,200 in Adams county. —o —o Next Sunday at Father Flanagan's Boys Town, $10,000,000 worth of new buildings will be dedicated and opened for use of the 600 boys who live and learn at this famous youth school. The building program was inaugurated five years ago by the late Father Flanagan, who died last May 15, while on a youth mission for the army in German. Over the wide expanse of lawn at Boys Town numerous elm trees have been planted in keeping with Father Flanagan’s wishes, for he was quoted as saying, “I like elm trees. They grow straight and tall and are good example* for my boys.” May Boys Town ever prosper and continue its wonderful work. i —o—o Truck Weights Operators of interstate motor trucks are constantly agitating for liberalization of the highway laws in the states which restrict them more than other states. Their special targets are laws limiting the weight and size of trucks. In that respect there is much variation in state laws. For some of it there is sound reason. Both the maximum safe size of a truck and the maximum safe load are determined in part by the lay of the land, whether mountainous or flat, and by the kind of roads over which the trucks travel. There does not seem to be reason for as much difference as exists, however. The weight a truck legally may carry itr some states is as much as double that which may be carried by the same truck in some other states. The safety of the truck and of other traffic and the reasonable protection of its highways must be the standard by which every state determines its truck regulations. But with such wide variations among the states they can't all be right. In this situation and that of other motor vehicle laws there is plenty of room for argument in favor a national uniform standard, not a federal law overriding state laws but a federal pattern which the individual states could use, making such changes as local conditions require.

Now and then, howi ever, there might be mild symp ; toms of discomfort in the pit of the L stoipach and perhaps sickness at : - the stomach and vomiting. In most cases, discomfort can be 1 relieved by local treatment includ ' ing proper diet, but sometimes operation is necessary, iparticularly j . if the diverticulum has caused i some blot-king of the passage of food. , A diverticulum may also occur in the first part of the small intestine,, known as the duodenum. These de velop for the most part in patients between 40 and 70 years of age. Rarely, such diverticulum may cause blocking of the opening be tween the stomach and bowel and pressure on the bile ducts, though, in most cases, they cause no symp toms. The most common symptom is pain cf the dull, aching variety. I If symptoms are produced, qperation is required.

SYNOPSIS Marriage for the Fanshea had begun frugally and happily. After ten years Beatrice Ferlsfi and her successful husband, i’oner. find themselves at an impasse. Porter nas become morose, disgruntled aa cantankerous old Mr. Ramey, the rich Industrialist who employs him Beatrice fears that their marriage is neaded for the rocks. At breakfast Porter creates an ugly scene with Marianne, their little school-girl daughter. Angrily ne slams outs of the house. CHAPTER THREE BEATRICE went out the kitchen door and walked down the flagstone path. The autumn flowers were lovely, untouched by frost, and the grass, new from the September planting, was greener than it had been in the summer. The little pond flanked by moss-cov-ered stones shimmered under the mild morning sun. Porter had built that, and also the stone flreplace too. He had laid the flagstone terrace. He didn't do anything now. The garage wall was not damaged. She did not start her car, a ma-roon-colored convertible, at once. She sat at the wheel looking foolish—a slight figure in a gray wool suit shot through with a fine yellow check. Just sitting piere trying to remember what it was she had to do today, and where precisely she was going. Oh, to see life fresh in the old simple eternal lines, to return to the days of full consciousness where she had had mastery over the cleanly cut pattern of her life. k Her life. While now it seemed to have been so brief, so swift paced, there had been a time when she had thought she would never grow up. Those slow, crawling years of childhood with Cecily, her mother. Years when she, shy and eager, a child possessing affection nc one could use, a child of troubled perceptions, had wanted desperately to give shape to her shapeless little life. She had never known her father, John Holden, who had died when Beatrice was a baby. In the soft dulcet tones ot the southern town from which both. Cecily and John had sprung, and to which Cecily could not return after two exciting years in New York, Cecily had later ex* plained, “I was alone and with a tiny baby. And I was so young! And of course 1 had never done anything!" The New York apartment high above the street, with a view, the large living room beautifully furnished had been a perfect setting for Cecily. Beatrice had often visualized the various men who must have walked across the thick beige carpet to Cecily's tiny figure and golden hair and tuge, helpless, beautiful eyes. They had all wanted to help her, the fragile, appealing young widow with her baby. Not a few had been men of good wall, far they had made scund investmems for her with the money

from John's Insurance, and thus had enabled her to remain in New York increasing her circle of friends, and becoming one of those idle, pretty, unattached women who go their restless brilliant little way incapable of more than a brief illusion of love. Though Cecily had been a sweet gay person, quick to laugh, sentimental, articulate, charmingly thoughtless, 'rivolously extravagant and notoriously unpunctual, Beatrice had never felt that she was really her mother, for she had never been on the inside of Cecily’s life. She had lived only on the fringe of it, a lonely little girl abandoned to a room into which seeped through the keyhole and under the door the voices of her mother’s friends and the music that invariably surrounded them because they had no music in themselves. To Beatrice her mother's kiss was as vague as it was fragrant, her conversation as empty as her eyes, as indeed it seemed to the child, often were. Glimpses into the 'homes of her school friends, homes in which there was order and routine and orthodox family living, only increased Beatrice's silent despair. She would never forget her unspeakable agony the Christmas Cecily bought her a coat and hat made of white rabbits' fur, and insisted she wear it to the carol singing assembly where all the other little girls had worn plain tailored tweeds. Then Cecily went to Bermuda. On the morning that her ship was due in New York, Henry, one of Cecily's friends, stopped at the apartment and asked if Beatrice would like to go to meet her mother. An hour later standing bn the pier, Beatrice felt her excitement die several poignant little deaths. The last passenger had disembarked and Cecily was not there. The letter Beatrice found when she reached the apartment told her that Cecily had married a man named Lester Cornwall in Bermuda. Yet Cecily’s marriage, when she and Lester returned, altered Beatrice's life not,at all Lester was a tali young man with dull eyes, a positive antipathy for work, and an overwhelming fondness for moving from one golf course to another. He had some obscure association with a real estate company of which his uncle was president Later it was obvious to Beatrice that Lester's uncle paid him for not coming to work. His kindness to Beatrice had an almost childlike quality, and it amused him that she was quicker at games than he was. That he and Cecily were so much alike was the nemesis of their marriage. It ended after three years when Cecily met Edward Sutherland. Beatrice was as sorry to see Lester go as she was sorry for him. Only one remark ot his remained with her. Os

Modern Etiquette By ROBERTA LEE o : -o Q. What is the correct way to answer an invitation to a wedding reception qr breakfast? A. On the first page of note paper, and although it is written by hand, the spacing of the words should be the same as though they were engraved. Also, if the invitation is written in the third person, the reply should also be written in that person. Q. Should the hostess arise when receiving an introduction? A. Yes, always; and she should offer her hand to the, men as well as to the women. Q. At a bbffet supper, is it correct to place the silver and napkins where they can be picked up last? A. Yes. And more convenient.

Beatrice he had said to Cecily, "The kid lives deep.” Eddie was different altogether. To Beatrice he was very old. He was small and ailvery-haired and walked with short, staccato steps. Os his background Beatrice krew only that he had made his money in Detroit, and that his married daughter wouldn’t speak to him anymore. His efforts to be youthfully jovial fell far short of their intended goal. Indeed, he never seemed to get over being both pleased and embarrassed that anyone should call him “Eddie." He did not work. Thus he and Cecily traveled a good deal, their itinerary explained to Beatrice only by the postcards they sent her. Though Beatrice never really knew Eddie, and only later wondered if his Imprudent marriage to Cecily had been worth the strain on his physical energy and the drain on his material resources, she was eternally grateful to him for suggesting to Cecily that Beatrice should go away to school. If he had not, she would never have known Clara and Libby, and she would never have married Porter. Though Eddie did not live long after the divorce and his subsequent return to Detroit, he nevertheless generously remembered Cecily in his will. And Cecily continued to live as she was living this very moment, Beatrice thought, tn a beautifully decorated apartment high above the street with a view, and with men still going to her beaming gifts. Tangible gifts, for It was only the things she could possess and hold in her small hands that she desired and understood. The tmperishables, the gifts of the human spirit—of love and tenderness and charity and humility—were not of her knowing. • • • Her first appointment was with Hilde, her hairdresser. As she started the car, Beatrice thought how gimly appropriate it was that she was seeing Hilde thia morning. For, from the Incoherent whisperings of the other girls In the shop, she had gathered that Hilde was having trouble with her husband.' Beatrice's friends didn't understand why she drove j all the way across town to an unpretentious little shop where the operators had no reputation, and where she didn't know anyone to talk to. They went to Andre or Roberto or Karl. Beatrice had told them that she had found Hilde in the shop when she and Porter had been living jn a tiny apartment on the wrong side of towa/and tMr Hilde was not only a good operator but she she liked her. That liking the girl who did your hair • and nails was incomprehensible to them only strengthened Beatirce's growing suspicions that her friendships, with the exception of Libby, i bad extension rather than depth.
