Our streets should be properly named and marked so that pedestrian, motorist, mail carrier or any person looking for an address, can quickly find the desired place. o o , Secretary of State Fleming believes that automobile insurance rates will drop after this year. The new rates will be based on experience. Owners who have not had a serious accident will be entitled- to a lower rate. The plan sounds reasonable, which is similiar to the unemployment and compensation experience rates. The average auto owner won’t object to’ a reduction from the insurance companies. —o —o — From peddler to president of the biggest bank in the United States, was the gamut of the career of Amadeo Peter Giannini, founder and head of the Bank of America, which operated 500 branch banks in the west. Giannini made his first favorable impression in California, following the earthquake. He loaned money to the needy, without collateral He had faith in men and women and the future America. His success again proves the opportunities that exist in our great land. Some day some one will equal or exceeds Giannini's remarkable career, for the horizons are always going upward. 0 0 Atomic secrets are secret only in a relative sense. There is no secret about uranium and what it is and how its atoms are exploded. Those things are common knowledge among scientists of many nations, and uranium is available in many parts of the world. The first uranium atom was not split in America; this was done in Germany. The point is that we cannot hope to hold the atomic secret from the world by hiding it behind barred la Oratory windows. Reasonable secur-

Disease May Cause Blocking of Air Passages

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. D. THE lining membrane of the upper air passages is subject to a good many different disorders and, from time to time, the site of a good many infections. One of the less well-known of such conditions is scleroma, a chrbnic disease which starts gradually and may last for 20 to 30 years. The first stage resembles another condition of the nose called atrophic rhinitis, in which there is an increase in the secretions from the nose with the formation of crusts and a bad odor. in the second stage of the disease. there is an overgrowth of the tissues which leads to blocking of the air passages. In the last stage, there is the formation of scar tissue, with further blocking of the nose and some deformity. The disorder usually starts ih the front part of the nose and may extend forward and affect the skin around the opening of the nostrils or pass backward and affect the throat, the roof of the mouth and. often, the larynx aid windpipe It would appear likely that the disease is due to infection, but exactly what type qf gorm causes it has not been discovered Apparently the disease has little effect on th* genera! health except ter ft* blocking of th* air passage* which.

tty surrounding American atomic operations should be continued. But we should not allow the recurrent crys about believing that therein lies national safety. -—o- —o This man Whittaker Chambers, former Communist spy, is a scum. If there was away to deport him, the government should not lose time in giving him a oneway ticket to the Soviet zone. Chambers perjured himself before a federal grand jury and. evidently has no more regard for the truth than he does for the code of morals. Chambers and his former buddy, Alger Hiss are a blot on the country. —o —o A White Plains. N. Y., housewife, called for jury duty, had to pay a baby sitter $5 a day. As her jury service brought her only $3 daily, she was excused by the court. This is a new argument for a step which all who have to do with the counts know to be badly needed. The pay of jurors should be raised. ' Nobody who is employed can i afford to lose several days’ pay and get only a fraction of it in return. That is one reason why so many find ingenious arguments to prove that it is impos- i sible for them to be jurors. The i alternative is either to compel them to serve, a procedure which does not make for conscientious service, or confine jury work to | the unemployed. o o * Happy Vacation Days: Supt. Thurston of the State Police Department has compiled a few rules that should be observed by individuals seeking happy vacation days. Accidents and tragedies mar vacations and when they occur, turn happy moments into grief. On the highway or at the lakes, caution should be used, the police | superintendent advices The timely rules are: Mind your behind-the-wheel ' manners and drive defensively in , a mechanically safe automobile. Adjust your driving speed according to conditions. Remember, the chance of death or injury increases as speed increases. Observe all traffic signs and signals, and be especially alert while touring unfamiliar roads. Don’t swim alone at any time and keep out of unknown, unguarded waters. Stay within your limits as a swimmer; avoid dangerous horseplay in the water. Don't overload a boat beyond its capacity, and get off the wa- , ter when sudden storms appear. ; Speed boat operators should guard against swamping small craft. And over-exposure to the sun, polluted water and poisonous weeds will ruin many a vacation.

. in extreme cases, may be most ser- ■ ious. t ' Some physicians think that this , condition is caused by the Klebsieli la rhinoscleromatis. a short, plump > germ or bacillus. In certain parts i of the country, this condition may > occur in epidemics. A definite diagnosis may be made by a 'carch for the causative germ and by examining some of I the affected tissues under the i microscope. i Up to the present time, unfor- [ tunately. no particularly satisfactory form of treatment has been found. It has been suggested that « streptomycin, given in a special in- ’ halation form, is of benefit in destroying the causative organisms in some instances. However, it is important that the condition be diagnosed as early as possible, and that steps be taken to prevent any excessive blocking of the air passages. QUESTIONS ANO ANSWERS R. H. J.: I have been told I have an inflamed sacroiliac. Could anything serious develop from this ailment? r Answer: The condition you have would not cause any serious disorder. You should be under the care of you? nbvtician for treatment of the condition. * I

CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT I HEP. mother’s problem could 1 not be important, Beatrice thought 1 Having known Cecily for twentyeight years, Beatrice knew that 1 her mother had no really knotty ' problems. She had enough money, * a maid who had been faithful—no ' one could imagine why—through- 1 out the war, and she lived exactly ■ as she pleased. She was only 1 forty-eight years of age. Yet 1 never, never had Cecily asked her 1 to come other than to visit her ] and to go to the theatre and to shop. Never. And Beatrice knew that as soon as she could, she must 1 go to her. A second reading of the letter 1 revealed no other Interpretation. 1 Beatrice’s expressive mouth pulled 1 dolefully at one corner when she 1 knew that Cecily visualized her as 1 living from one cocktail party to 1 another and enjoying herself immensely. I would like it if 1 never had to go to another cocktail party as long as I live, she thought I would cry out with joy if I never had to utter another word of banal, meaningless social chatter to all those people who will drop Libby now, until in a few weeks her name, if mentioned at all, will sound like a memory. 1 would whistle with glee if 1 could scratch out every marked date on the calendar in my engagement book. I would be happy if 1 could take Porter by one hand and Marianne by the other and walk out of this house and never come back, because a home is only as beautiful as the relationship of those who live beneath its root. We prattle about our precious economic security when the only security there is in this messy world is the love that others bears us and we bear them. • • And 1 am alone and Porter Is not with me. 1 don’t ever know where he’s staying. He didn’t tell me. 1 am alone, and Marianne sleeps upstairs, and 1 am sitting within these cold walls that 1 have built up around her. Walls. What price ambition? Oh, memories that bless and burn. 1 And you can t go back. Even a fool knows that you can never go back. Tomorrow’s news is already on the presses. Tomorrow . .. The telephone rang. She arose slowly, feeling small in the large, lovely, shadowy room, and went in to the library. Her eyes roamed the bookshelves. The books I’ve never read, she thought The music I never have time to listen to anymore. The earth I do not hold in my hands because the ’ yard boy does it for me. She picked up the telephone. “Hello.“ "Beatrice?" It was Mrs. Ramey’s crisp voice. -Yes, Mrs. Ramey." "I thought I had better remind , you of the antique shew tomorrow." ~ "The antique show? Oh, yes." r "You had forgotten, hadn’t you?" “For the moment I hadn’t checked on tomorrow yet" Tomorrow should be wonderful, she thought All tomorrows should be full of promise and the hope of better things. No‘one should posi jeasjpur tomorrow, Mrs. Ramey.

Should a bride-to-be send notes of thanks to all the guests who have attended a shower in her honor? A. This is not necessary. Her thanks at the affair itself, should

No one should claim another’s un- I born day as you claim mine, Mrs. v Ramey. c "1 knew 1 had to remind you," I Mrs. Ramey continued. "1 don't j want to nuss it Os course I don't i expect it will produce anything t worthwhile. The tilings that pass 1 for antiques these days are noth- 1 ing but junk. I have the museum £ pieces. They shall all be yours, < too, my dear, all my beautiful things. It opens at one, and I ( want to be there when it opens. ] There’s always such a crowd." , "I'm having my hair done at j eleven. 1 can make it easily." It , would be good to see Hilde again, , Beatrice thought. We haven't | talked since the night she came ( to dinner. She knows, of course , she knows who sent all those toys , to Tommy at Christmas with no ( cards in the boxes. | "Good," Mrs. Ramey replied , briskly. “Good-night, Beatrice." ( Yes, Mrs. Ramey. Yes, MrsRamey. | She turned out the lights and went upstairs. She went to the , last room down the hall, threw open the trench windows, and . stepped out onto the balcony, and ( her thick hair swung out behind , her. The winter night was fantatsicaliy beautiful, and there were mystic whisperings in the wind. Though the cold air went through her, it did not chill her. It seemed to cleanse her as suffering cleanses. This day was almost gone, this day that had held so much for Libby and was now ending for ner, for Beatrice, with a strange tranquillity. 1 am the girl I once knew, Beatrice thought Her lips were moving. 1 don't want to go back because 1 have learned so much of living today. 1 have learned new secrets and new emotions so that I can be fuller and richer than I have ever been before. • • • For a week the telephone operate. at lobby's apartment house i said in bored tones, "They don't answer." That she did not say. "Mrs. Gundna is out of town," told Beatrice that this was Libby's way of telling her that she did not want to see anyone. And since it would certainly be wrong to thrust herself upon her, Beatrice did not go near her. But Libby was never ' out of her mind while she did all of the things that the notations in her red leather engagement book told her she had to do, those ' little notations that were becom- ' ing increasingly hateful to her. It was indicative of the sort of people Helen and Dick were, that no one Beatrice saw mentioned the fact that Jane had left her mother. It was not that people would not be interested. Though I they would look horrified, and a , few would be deeply touched, same of them would relish the spicy gossip. Therefore It was to the credit of Helen and Dick that to all appearances Jane was doing no more than visiting them. The full , truth when it was revealed would t be mercifully tempered by time. > One day Beatrice went to an t art axmbit that she bad promised ■ faithfully weeks ago to attend. She , arrived late, and didn't suy kmg.

be sincere and gracious enough. However, she should be sure to write a note of thanks to the hostess of the shower, and she can later entertain the guests at a luncheon or bridge party, either before or after the wedding. Q. Is it all right to break bread or crackers into the bowl when partaking of soup? A. This is now considered hll right. Q. Is there a fixed rule for the sequence of pages in -a letter? A. No; but when writing a letter of four pages, use pages one, two, three, and four in order. 20 YEARS AGO TODAY « June 6 — Warren Moses, formerly of Decatur, appointed chief of the Montana agricultural publicity department. Col. William Thaw, the third, of Pittsburgh, whose monoplane crashed near Geneva last September, visited here and went to the scene of the crash.

Trade in a Good Town —

If the exhibit had been held a week ago Libby would have been conspicuously present, surrounded by her little knot of admirers, her jewel encrusted hands gesticulating. She would have joked with the Director and she would have bought a picture for which she had no earthly use because the artist, a woman, was poor and unquestionably gifted. But today Libby was conspicu-1 ously absent and for her, she I knew, almost alone. There was always someone else ready to step I into the limelight. There was al-| ways an eager understudy in the wings with her lines carefully rehearsed. There was always somo- ■ one else who would buy the matt noticeable clothes and give the most elaborate party of the winter season. Soon they would.be talking about Libby as If she were dead, remembering her startling clothes more than they remembered that It had been she who had got them a nurse during the war when no one else could get one. Het bitterness, Beatrice ' thought, did not apply to all. Yet she knew that Libby without tier anguished concern to be seen everywhere, Libby subdued and brought down from her high frenzied Sight, would be just another divorced woman, an odd woman of whose existence one had to remind oneself occasionally. This is not Hollywood, or New York, or case society, Beatrice thought This is small city society, a closed corporation. And having money doesn't make any difference and doesn’t alter the fact that a divorced woman has no status. She’s still a social problem, a subject for pity, and indifference, and scorn. You can't ignore her and you don’t know what to do about her. To some she's a blight and to others a crashing bore, and to others simply a pain-in-the-neck. And Libby knows all these things, too. Her knowledge of her "no place" in society explains the things she did while everyone thought she was having a wpnderful time, and not a few with stingy husbands, indifferent husbands, bad-tempered husbands, untaitntui husbands, or merely husbands would gladly have exchanged places with her. The urgency to see her old friend and to do what she could drove her out into the heavy Vinter air. But just as she was leaving the museum she saw Bonnie Watson. Dressed simply in a black coat, her soft black brimmed hat crushed in her hand, Bonnie was standing before a water color of wild geese in flight What significance, Beatrice thought, had those winged creatures for this girl of the pensive, piquant face, and lovely brown eyes that bespoke her thoughts turned back into the past? It was not unusual that she had come to the exhibit alone. What was uncommon, Beatrice thought, was that Bonnie Watson s aloneness held also the obvious quality of loneliness — and that loneliness of hers was extraotdi narily appealing and feminine to any man of kind heart. Like Porter. (Te Be Continued)
