It seems that the motorist must turn a crank when he drops a coin in the meter, which is puzzling to many. Well, they 11 learn. u Senator .Margaret Smith, the Republican leader from Maine, seems to be getting the most pule Jlcity from the suggestion that a woman be named for vice-presi-dent on the GOP ticket in 1952 The Democrats might counter this appeal to the women voters with Congresswoman Helen Gahagan Douglas of California, an able woman and good speaker. Q 0 Soviet Minister Vishinsky declares that Russia is not plotting war, even though his country now has the atomic bomb. Develop ment of the atomic weapon may give Russia a stronger feeling of conflence, but chances are its progress in that line is still many wears behind the lead of the United mates. The destructive weapon may keep all nations In harness, fearful of the outcome of war. Q O Lowell Thomas, the ace newscaster, who is always looking for the unusual, fell from his horse while traveling a path through the Himalaya mountains In farott Tibet. He was carrying a mew sage from the Dalai Lamba to President Truman, having visited the former potentate In the Tibetan capital and "forbidden city" of Lusha His account of his visit to Tibet will no doubt make interesting radio narration by the popular author and world traveler. o o The cashier of the Spencerville bank must have been disgusted with his 1150-a month job. for It appears that his records are In a topsy-turvy state Examiners charge him with a $140,000 shortage in accounts, the deficiency being revealed simultaneously with the check kite scheme of a used car dealer, who presumably has bilked the bank of another

Treating Non-Stop Hiccups

•y Herman N. Bundesen, M. 0. Hucuping is’one of the very f»v natural action* of the body which seems entirely without pqrpose. it is neither a safety valve nor an adjustment proves*. Indeed, so far as benefiting tbe body is concerned. It ha* no value. It Is s'mply a nahance and nothing more On the other hand, it seldom does any harm except in rare long-con-tinued cases where it keep* up so long as to cause exhaustion Hlccuping is the result of a >udden. hard contraction of the muse." between the chest and the alidon en. kpown as the diaphragm. Pres--1 ure of thia contraction closes |h» pasesgaway tn the lungs The "hit" sound is due to the abrupt cutting off of the indrawn breath as Ue vocal cords come together HlccupUtK ntay be initiated by nerve impulses bronght to tbe dla phrsgm from thn Momach. bowel, liver, lungs, the lamyx <* veicebqx or may result front taftamtnailon or pressure from a tumor growth It may come from direct Irrttat.of tbe diaphragm er of tbe phrenic nerve which supplies the ®aphragm Hiccup sometimes develops in i*istasvT affecting tbe brain, such as encephalitis or meningitis As is well known, over Indulgence tn alcoholic beverages may bring on an attack of hiccuping.

$66.96?. The bank stands to lose * about $200,000, equivalent to k* about half of it* assets. The redeeming feature is that the deposits ate insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, which protects the depositors against financial loss, and business continues "a* usual" at the bank. One of the most weird plot* ever uncovered I* that of the Canadian airplane crash two weeks ago. A woman is charged with expressing a time bomb on the plane, which consequently exploded, wrecking the airliner and killing 23 persons. The Canadian .Mounted Police have produced evidence that the woman conceived the disbolical plot as a means of killing the wife of a man with whom she was infatuated. Even death by hanging is mild punishment for such a person o o_ — Should a state board have the power to apply the term "subversive" to any group it pleases, and forbid any member of this group to hold certain public Jobs? The New York State Board of Regents, directing the state's educational system, received this power by the Feinberg Law which the legislature passed this spring This directs the board to make a list of subversive organizations, membership in which will debar any individual from teaching or bolding any other position in the public schools. A suit has nowbeen brought to test the constitutionality of this provision. o o Applied Religion: A group of American young people, spending the past summer in Germany, ha* been the object of much speculation and questioning among German* who observed them as they worked, worshipped and played in their unfamiliar environment. The Youth Department of the World Council of Churches sponsored work camps in Europe, manned by college students. They ate in community houses, carried on group recreational activities with German young people, held Bible discussion sessions, and. as their main objective, rebuilt bombed out structures for use a’ housing for worker* One young worker said of hi* experience: "When asked why we worked the way we did, paying our own expenses and without remuneration, our answer was that we thought Christian* were obligated to help where there was need, physically as well a* spiritually. We also stressed our conviction that we should apply the principles of Christianity in politic*." Nj better antidote could be sup plied for the polvon of Nazi teaching than this concrete example of applied religion. These American young people have forged a strong link in the chain of world brotherhood

time* while eating Hundreds of different types of t rest men t have l»eeii suggested for hiccup A sudden slap on the back, pulling on the tongue, tickling the nose, and inhaling smelling salt* all have served to stop hiccuping attacks. Holding the breath and deep breathing may be effective. Washing out the stomach or inducing vomiting may. on occasion, give l»eneftt. Various sedative or quieting drug* have been used Drug* which relieve spasm have also been h>und helpful I Hecentiy. a number of case* ot * continued hiccup bars been treated with a drug known as quinidine In nine patient*, in whom other methods have failed, quinidine stopped the attacks in six and was partially su<ces«ful in two. in some cases of continued hl':- ■ up. cutting or crushing of the phrenic nerve ha* been employed. Fortunately, in most case* of hiccup. tbe simple measures are sufficient to bring relief Question* and Answers W. P. O-: Is cystitis a curable ailment? la it a serious condition?

CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX CHIP HALLIDAY, diving down*' ward into t « white-crested, raging waters of Bear Creek, had a breathless moment when he thought he was going to batter himself against the rocks studding thia stream. He'd had no time to ■ weigh the consequences when he'd gone over the railing of the bridge, no thought but to elude the lawmen who were bringing him to Tumblerock’s JaiL He'd acted on impulse, and now the creek rose up to claim him, he plunged under the water, feeling his shoulder scrape against a bulking rock, and then the current had a hard hold j on him and he was swept along i between the willow fringed banks. High up on the bridge behind, the guns were blossoming redly against the night; but the roar of them was blanketed beneath the greater clamor of the creek. Mountain snows fed thia rampaging little river, and the cold shock of the water numbed Chip, sap- ' ping his strength away and turn- ' ing his kgs and arms to wood. He mad j no effort at swimming, ! only striving to keep his head I above the surface while he let the current have its way with him. He sucked in great mouthful!* of air whenever he could, and he swallowed more than a little water. But he was being carried j away from those guns on the • bridge. I Yet this was only trading peril ■ for peril: a man couldn’t U’ long at the mercy of this stream, and he tried feebly to make it to one of the dark shores. It was like r ' p tting himself against a mountain ■ * wall—a wall that moved and had s, a mind of its own—but at last »I some vagary of the current swept • I him toward the western bank, I thrusting him hard against a boulder. He had enough of consciousness left to wrap his arms tightly around the rock, and here he clung until a measure of strength came • back to him. Now he found that his feet touched bottom, but for a n king time he was content to remain where he was. Overhanging bushes shadowed . him, almost brushing his face, and he grasped at them experimentally 1 with one hand. Then he became ' aware that somebody was thresh--1 ing through the underbrush nearby. and he turned rigid, scarcely daring to breathe. Through the interlacing leaves and branches, be made out a bulky figure, stooped low in frantic search; and from afar came a voice, faint with distance and almost loot beneath the creek's roar. “Any sign of him?" the voice The searcher straightened, cup- • ping his hands to his mouth. "It's like looking for a needle in a hay- . stack. He might be a mile downI stream by now!" . The other voice shouted again from the vicinity of the bridge, but the sound didn't quite carry p to Chip. The one who'd been doing • the searching must have heard, • though, for he turned baek then and aoce buaeeJl Uoa JJupfi

view. But still Chip clung to the feck, waiting many minutes before he dragged himself to the bank. He'd hoped that his try at escaping might have so disconcerted Sheriff Frank Busby and his deputies that Singin' Sam and Clark Rayburn would also have been able to make a get-away in the ensuing confusion. But only one man had come to search the creek bank, and that meant that Busby had sagely stayed where he could keep a watchful eye on his remaining prisoners. And shortly a more thorough search would doubtless be made for Chip Halliday. That last thought sent Chip stumbling away from the creek, and he came out of the fringing willows and into a broken land of coulees and ridges. From the higher rises he saw that he was just a little south of Tumblerock town. His teeth were chattering and his clothes clung wetly to him, but he put his will against the temptation to try and build a fire, warming himself instead by walking as briskly as he could. Soon the chill was out of him, and his need was for a plan of action. He thought of Hope Brennan and wished fervently that she’d slay clear of Tumblcrock and possible capture. Singin' Sam and Clark Rayburn would be lodged in jail, of course, and after an hour he ventured into the town, approaching it from the southwest and crawling furtively toward that weedy lot next to ti e jail-building where he'd once fo'.nd Tate Strunk awaiting him. From this vantage point, the jail looked das-k and deserted, but he couldn't see the front of the building, and there might be a light in Busby's office. Probably the sheriff was out searching the creek bank, but then, again, Busby might have put others at that task. Chip was edging nearer to the jail when from within its interior a squeaky, tuneless voice raised itself n song: “The old oaJL'-en-a-n bucket; the iron-bound buck-et-t-t, The tnoee-cotered bucket, that hung tn the weU-l-l-l. . Chip eased closer to one of the barred windows. “Sam—?" be called softly. The song trailed away, and a moment later McAllister's old face was pressed against lbs bam “Chip, you loco aon-of-a-gun!" Sam cried gleefully. “So you made it! Them bullets had me worried, and that crick didn't look like anything to give a man pleasure!" “Rayburn in there with you?" “Here. Halliday," the Forlorn leader said, his sad face appearing beside McAllister's. "How are things shaping? You two been officially charged with anything ?" ‘They'll hold a coroner's inquest into the death of fit. John tomorrow." Rayburn said. "I’m being held fop that. If the evidence stacks up right, I’U be charged , with SL John's murder and ordered held for trial And Alessandro will i see Uat ths -evidence is whnt he

wants it to be. I knew It would < come to this someday. I've out-1 lived my usefulness to him, so he's bent upon destroying me." Bingin* Sam said, "I'm still an escaped convict, 1 guess. The sheriff ain't wasted much time on me." "What about* Busby?" Chip, asked Rayburn. "Docs he belong to Alessandro like everybody else around here?" "I've never been sure," Rayburn 1 said. "Alessandro's weight can swing a lot of votes, and Busby likely never forgets that But mostly I think it's just plain stupidity that makes him Alessandro's tool. How Busby would act if a real showdown shaped, 1 don't | know." Bingin’ Sam said, “You reckon we ought to tip our hand. Chip, and tell that tin-toter who you and me really arc?" Chip shook his head. "We haven't I any proof wo can lay our hands on in a minute," he said. "Besides, there's something else I'm after, now. The scalp of Seton Alessandro. The governor wants to make law-abiding country out of the* Tumblerocks, but he'll never have it till Alessandro's salted down. And I figure that Alessandro, given enough rope, will hang himself. The town's quiet: there's no lynching shaping up, so I reckon Alessandro's next move will be at the Inquest I took that dive off , the bridge because I figured the jail would be a death trap, but ' now I m thinking you're as safe ' here tonight as you'd be any , place. And I won’t be far away." I Rayburn said, "You've got to believe me, Halliday; I had no hand in whatever happened to Justin St John." "Sheriff'i cornin' down the corridor!" Stagin’ Sam hissed and Instantly began staging again: 'The old oak-en-n-n bucket, the iron-bound buck-et-t-t, Th’ utoee-covered bucket, that Aung ta the weii-l-l-L . With that unmelodious rendition ringing in his ears. Chip scurried away into the deeper shadows and here he paused, listening to Sam’s squeaky staging until the words sank into his consctouuneaa and tied themselves to some nebulous memory. And suddenly Chip was i quivering with excitement for be ■ was recalltag something that might tangle Seton Al rasas dro's twine, ' tod the need to subot&jiUate hie ' new-born theory breams like • hunger. There were a few things he must know first and Clark Rayburn could probably give him the tafori mat lon.
