There don’t seem to be as many tourist jokes as there used to be, but it is not for any lack of tourists helping to keep one part of the world aware of what is going on in the rest of it. ——o o — If congressmen are worried about the suggestion that they cut their own pay, let them be reassured that the people would be happy to give them a raise if they would just trim the unnecessary costs a little. o o-— Saturday night's traffic was one of the heaviest of the year. It was good to see so many people in the shopping center, and it made one wish for wider streets and more sidewalk space in the up-town area. It may be in the future, but the day will come when cities will have to be rebuilt to care for the crowds. — o o The tragic death of Max A. Noll of Pleasant Mills, in Tustin, Cal., brings sorrow to his many friends here. His untimely death occurred in an auto-train crash in the western city. For more than nine years, Mr. Noll served in the United States Navy and saw active service in World War 11. A faithful seaman. Mr. Noll had received numerous promotions and at the time of his death was a Chief Machinist Mate with the rank of Chief Petty Officer. This newspaper extends sympathy to his parents and members of the bereaved family. o —o Boys' Clothing: For the mothers of the laud, one of the most refreshing news items of current times was tucked away on the financial pages the other day. it contained the word that Boys' Apparel and Accessories Manufacturers Association lias formally begun a campaign to standardize the size labeling of boys' clothing. With the help of information gathered by the Department of Commerce, a new system of fixing and marking sizes has been worked out. The figures range from 2 to 20, but have nothing to do with age. That in itself is not new. since the sizes in the present system, or systems, conform with the ages of the wearer only by coincidence. The proposed sys em would size garments except hats according to

New Drug Just Discovered

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. D. , The search for new drugs is end l less. Medical chemists are constantly attempting to devise new and more effective remedies for every kind of illness. Recently a drug known as dibutoline. which seems to have a powerful, soothing effect! on smooth muscle tissue of the' type which makes up the stomach and bowel, has been discovered. There are various disorders in which muscles of the intestinal tract tighten up excessively and go ipto spasm, thus causing periodic attacks of diarrhea alternate with; constipation and there is marked pain When dibutoline was given to a group of patients suffering from spastic colitis, complete relief of pain occurred in one to 10 minutes The relief lasted in some cases for aeveral weeks and in others, for from two to three hours. No other treatment was employed while the, dibutoline was used. There also is a disorder known as diverticulitis in which pouche’ form on the large intestine, in thi« disorder also, pain in the abdomen occurs. Patients with diverticulitis. treated with dibutoline. were kept free from p»fn The drug, however, bad to be Administered (rom three to eight tiweg daily i/butplis* uxcftd ia"*h< treauaect cf ulceratr-e celt-

height and weight, and all garments marked a given size would fit a boy whose height and weight match the specifications for that size. If uniform adoption of the system could be attained, the advantage to mothers would be incalculable, not only for their own shopping but for supplying information to aunts, uncles, grandparents and other buyers of birthday and Christmas gifts. It would be a boon to shopkeepers, too, and should materially reduce the annual loss charged up to exchanges in the children's department. Nothing should be permitted to hold up this action in boys’ clothing, but once it is accomplishetd something should be done for the relief of men shopping for the feminine members of their families. Despite the best of intentions, most of them will never be able to remember whether a size 14 is the same as a size 32 or a 12 the same as a 34. o o—Indiana counties are completing plans for the reappraisal of real estate and improvements, under provisions of the new law which states that the reassessing of this property by done this year. Schools of instruction for the assessors are being held and those charged with the work will be acquainted with the pointsystem or slide-rule to be applied in the evaluation of buildings. It is a very important task and unless the job is done nearly ! perfect, misunderstanding and incorrect values will result. o o — New Superintendent: By an etgiit-to-four vote, the township trustees elected Hansel Foley, well known educator and school administrator, county superintendent of schools. By training and experience, Mr. Foley is admirably equipped to serve as school superintendent. A graduate of Indiana Uni- I versify and Ball-State Teachers | College, Mr. Foley has taught | in Adams county schools for the | past 2(7 years. He served as principal of the Kirkland and Pleasant Mills schools, and last year was principal of the Monmouth high school. Mr. Foley will succeed Lyman L. Hann on August 16. when , the law provides that the change shall be made. Likewise, an educator and school executive, Mr. Hann served as county school superintendent for the past eight years. Native of this county, Mr. Foley is well acquainted with township school problems, which with a (Venial personality, presages his successful administration of this very important post. To Mr. Hann and to Superin-tendent-elect Foley we extend wishes for their continued success in their chosen field of education.

■ tis. in which there is inflammation 1 of the. bowel, together with the for- ; mation of ulcers. The drug assisted in controlling the abdominal discomfort and lessening of the frequency of bowel movements. The muscle between the stomach and bowel is known as the pyloric i muscle. Spasm of this muscle may ; occur when there is an ulcer of the I first part of the bowel, called a duo- . denal ulcer. When a spasm of this I type occurs, pain develops. ComI plete relief or tills type of pain was also produced with the dibutoline. it would appear that this preparation is effective in relieving pain produced by spasm of the bowel muscle. The drug must be given byinjection under the skin. So far, dibutoline has been used in relatively few cases, but when it becomes available for general use. it should prove a great value in a variety of intestinal disorders. Questions and Answers C. E. F.: I am on the verge of a nervous breakdown. For the past ; two years my head shakes. What would you suggest? Answer: Examination should be ' made by a neurologist to determine the cause of your trouble.

I t Staff Sgt. Alton Sylvester Rail- • ing, a member of the Eighth Air | Force, met death over Bremen, i Germany, Nov. 26,1943. He was a i radio technician and gunner and was participating in a major bombing expedition over Bremen. Born in Adams county, October 9, 1920, Alton attended the Brandyberry and Pleasant Mills schools. He also attended St. Paul U. B. church. Besides his parents, Mr. and I Mrs. Forest Railing of route six, he is survived by three brothers, Morton, Joe and Gordon of Deca- '! tur and three sisters, Mrs. Ches- | ter Barker of Decatur, and Helen ' and Virginia, at home. In Memory of Alton ’ His wings are still—we cross his valiant arms Our stalwart hero lies asleep; ' We look about and there are silver '! tears That drop as each of us shall weep. But yet we should not shed these tears for him— He's only on another flight Where skies are ornamented with white clouds ' And wings of angels through the night. ■ Yes, he is on another flight we know.

Arnold, com loan inspector for the Adams county I agricultural conservation association. announced today that farmers who wish to secure a loan j on 1948 corn which is in storage ! on the farm, should file application for a loan at the county AAA I office (located above the Sutton I Jewelry Store) not later than June 115. Mr. Arnold stated that the moisture content of the corn must be 15.5 percent or less to be eligible for a loan.

CHAPTER THIRTY AND now Beatrice looked away | fiom Libby to the large manywindowed room in which she stood. That the room had so little furniture in it gave on the feeling I of luxurious space. There were books on an open shelf, good French prints on the rough wall, an excellent modern painting by a well known painter, a phonograph, and many albums of records. A window seat had been built around the wide window, so that one could sit and view the lake with comfort "There’s a bedroom, too," Libby said, "with a great wide bed, and a dressing table built in, and an old pine chest A bathroom and a kitchen—the most complete little kitchen you ever saw—and a back porch. That’s nil. But it’s enough. ! I’ll make some tea, Bee." “No, not now. Maybe later but ! not now.” She took off her fur jacket, and went over and sat on the window seat Libby sat on the wide fat ottoman before the fire, and folded < her hands. And Libby's hands, plain and unadorned, were good hands, and strong—hands of character. She was perfectly calm, though Beatrice guessed the blatx wretchedness through which she had emerged to tranquillity. Her voice had lost that unpleasant rasp when at last she spoke. "Bee, we’ve known each other too long to make agreeable conversation and let it go at that.” She raised her eyebrows. "1 don't know anything about the woman who lived in this house except that she's a widow, and her name is Mrs. Barton. And yet 1 know a great deal about her. You come to know a great deal about a person from living in her house. The real estate agent didn't know anything about her except that she'd gone to Germany to see her only son. She's a person who has a passion tor privacy, when most of us have a passion for just the opposite. She's a swell gal, whoever she Is. I got more than a house in the country when I made the clean break I knew 1 had to make or go mad—l got a legacy, an education, a revelation and a re- • valuation." « “Mrs. Barton has traveled," Beatrice said. Her mood of depression had left her. This was so pleasant, so unexpected—like coming upon a garden in the wilderness. "Yes, but not just so she could come back and tell her friends about it Travel is,a necessity with her, a refueling of her spirit. She'd scrub floors to get to see i the Alps. That’s the kind of a woman she la But she didn’t live here because she had ta She came because she wanted ta Her fnends ask—because she's a person who doesn't have quantities of acquaintances but a few good friends— But why do you bve out there ah ty yourself?’ Do you know what she tells them, Bee?
