els to keep himself drunk. I ask I I myself in front of Pat McCarty, ' "Do I want to get my brain like that?" Pat said. "Punchle never did have much brain. It never hurt me " But Pat was a lot faster than I’ll ever l»e. I couldn’t gel ' over thinking that my style would be a lot more like Punchle Pyle's. , Hut there’s something else that bothers me. I only have that “killer Instinct” in the heat of a fight. When I'm thinking altout it. I don't want to scramble anybody else's brain. I’d hale to think that I had anything to do with making Pyle what he Is today. So, I make the excuse that I'm coming to Indiana to talk It over, with the old man. I know I can't think straight in Coal Creek. My old man don't have the same reasons as me for advising me not to be a professional pug. but bis reasons are good. He figures that every man has a Job to do that i adds to the wealth of society, ana he doesn’t see how the beak-bust--1 Ing industry makes much of a contribution. I know Mom is against me fighting, because she used to stew altout the labor fights the old man used to get into, so I don't even mention it to her. Mike hears from some of his gang in , Coal Creek, so he tries shaming Im" Into It by saying I’m too yellow to ever make a good prelim fighter. I know If I go back to Coal Creek, there will l>e a lot more of that kind of talk, and i'll eventually sign up with McCarty even If my mind says it isn't smart I was still weighing It over when I heard you last night. Mr. : Hawley. Maybe you suspicion It already, but I had no high motive in coming to your youth rally Mike, who is younger than me but finished high i school last month—Mike and I go out to see what this town has to offer in the way of women. We stroll around the square, and spot j a couple girls worth going after We have Just about caught up with j them when they start up the steps |of your church. That throws Mike 1 Into reverse, but one of the tabes : looks around when Mike and I I argue: and I decide to go in after her. Mike got to the top Stop, tat when a lady signals me to shut up. Mike runs away The lady hands mo some sluff about camp, and ia asking me if I plan to come, tat I’m looking for the blonde. Every body's standing up singing so I have a little trouble spotting the

In this conntvy we have our , Ohio, Mississippi, Missouri and , Oregon river floods, but It’s difficult to imagine that I.HO persons would drown In the high water- Down in Guatemala. Central America, the October rains have caused a flood almost as big as the Bibical one wbtu Noah and bis family and animals took to the Ark. The death list may reach 5.000 and property loss will be 50 million. One of the big loss* : <-s was in the coffee crop, estimates running as high as fifty per- | cent of the country's entire pro- j du-lion This undeveloped coun , try needs flood control, or harnessing of its turbulent rivers. t O — A Death Trap: The condition of IT. 8. Highway 221 east of Decatur has reached such a deplorable stage I that it is a doth trap for motorists and truck drivers. The crumbling pavement was patched a few months ago. but the heavy freight trucks soon knocked out these temporary repairs. Chuck holes, half the size of an automobile, now exist in the . stretch between Decatur and the j Ohio state line. The highway should be rebuilt or resurfaced. At least it should be made safe for traveling Many accident! have occurred | on the highway, whether from j personal recklessness or unsafe | condition of the road, but they did occur on 221. A soldier of the U. 8. Army lost I his life on the highway a few wicks ago. Possibly his car swerved whin it hit one of the ' chuck-holes, possibly It only ran off the pavement, but the tragedy does give a bad reputation to U, 8. Highway 221. Either close the highway or re- ; pair it, as a matter of safety, t drivers of the route contend.

i girls we had followed. There's no I seat beside them, but one behind them. SO I get it. I don't get why there are so many kids there and so few adults until a boy gets up and talks about the fun at camp. And you said something. too. about a pre-camp rally I want to talk to the blonde in front of me, but a big woman comes and sits beside me. I guess she had me spotted as a trouble maker But she’s very nice. I’m out of | place, but she smiles and hand* me a book to sing with the crowd, j The big woman. I mean—the blonde hasn't looked around since the front steps, so 1 figure she’s di»-! gusted Like I told you last night,' I don't know the songs. But 1 can hear the blonde sing, and she sounds good. The brunette and the big woman sound all right, but I'm listening for the blonde. When you start talking to the kids, my mind is on how I'm going to get that snooty blonde to warm up. Then suddenly, I catch that i you’re talking about sports, and boxing, and “the cult of the physl cal.” I don't get your point for a little while, but when I see what you're driving at. it's right down my alley. Like I said last night, it's the thing I’ve been trying to think out with my own peanut i brain. Can a guy sacrifice everything else just to be an athlete? I mumble to the big woman. "That boy knows what he’s talking about." She puts her finger over her mouth, but smiles so I know she isn't mad. Here I am. suspecting it isn't enough to be a strong bac k and lame-brain And you tell me why It isn't. You say a man who lives only for his body is only twehty-five percent alive, and that tells me I'm three-quarters dead. You bring out the relation of the body to the rest of the You say that a complete man must ' have balance mentally, socially, 1 spiritually, and physically to be a real four-square person. By then, you have me thinking so hard I've almost forgotten the blonde. Man! It seems like fate or something made me follow them girls in there. You showed me better in a few minutes bow to think oat my own problem than the whole town of Coal Creek, or even better than Debs and Ivan Igorvich. Br.. both of whom are smart cookies. Yoe cinched It. Mr. Hawley. And I’m going to experiment to ttnd out if I have a good brain, and all the other sides you say I have. (To Be Coati a usd) „

SMITH Trick Or Treat Specials Halloween is just around the cor- ■ ner, and as usual, the youngsters are capitalizing on the holiday with | “trick or treat” jaunts to the neighbors. Perhaps you've bern visited or anticipate the Halloween antics of the "kids next door" one of these evenings. Remember when you delighted ringing doorbells at this time of year? Whether it be a piece of candy, an apple, or a cookie, have something on hand for the "trick or treaters." Taffy apples rate high with the younger set, and they are easy to I make The following recipe comes from Miss Frances Cook, food , specialist at the University of Illinois college of agriculture. Taffy Apples ‘ Select firm, ripe apples that are

1 not too large. Be sure they are free from imperfections. Wash and stem and run a wooden skewer Into the center of each. To prepare the syrup or taffy,, ' combine 1 nip sugar, 1 cup brown , sugar. I tubh spoon lemon juice or, vinegar, and H cup hot water. Mix i thoroughly and boil to 290’ F, or until It cracks when tested in cold | water. Place the syrup over boiling water to keep it hot and to prevent j hardening Dip the apples in the syrup, coating each one thoroughly. Stand them on wax paper to cool. Pop Corn Balls 1 'A cups sugar 1 cup water 2 tablespoons vinegar >2 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon vanilla 2 quarts freshly popped corn Boil the sugar, water, vinegar. 1 and salt until the syrup hardens when dipped Into cold water, or until a candy thermometer registers 25v’ F- Add vanilla; pour while hot over the pop corn and mix well.

I Relieving Pain from a Fracture

By Herman N. Bundessn, M.D. FRACTURE of a bone can t j scarcely occur anywhere in the body without some damage to the 1 surrounding tissues. This means 1 swelling and inflammation of the 1 ' overlying muscles and, often, a' great deal of pain. Where the pain Is severe, it in- ' terferes with movement and. In the 1 adult, this tendency to keep the painful part ax quiet as possible may delay healing. I This treatment consists of injecting what is known as procaine I directly into a vein. Procaine has long been used as an effective local anesthetic. It would appear that with this treatment symptoms disappear, movement in the joints Increases, swelling becomes less, and the circulation Improves. This treatment has been carried out in almost 450 patients without 1; any harmful reactions. The pre- , paration employed lessens pain and it seems to dilate the blood 1 j vessels and relax muscles. J It was used in 81 patients who ~ had fractures or broken bones. The J treatment relieved pain, decreased < the swelling, and made possible , earlier movement of the affected , parts. In sprains, there was Im- , mediate relief of pain and swellI Ing. and increased movements In < the affected parts. In cases of arthritis, pain also wax lessened, movement Increased 1 and contractures of the muscles
