One thing a lot of people have a lot in common Is Christmas shopping. o o— The Indianapolis Star comments, "People make a lot of bad news, but they make a grand lot of good news, too. So cheer up." o o A 17 year old boy has been sentenced to prison for bigamy He has three marriages to his credit and the prison stretch might slow him up a bit. u o The postal laws forbid the advertising of bingo parties, raffles, lotteries and games of chance, and in compliance with the law this newspaper does not accept paid advertisements for these events, or permit mention of them in the news columns. Please do not ask us to violate the law. o- ■■<> Classes have started at the Reppert Auction school and students are arriving daily for the wint< r term which will extend over the next three weeks It is fine to have these visiting students in the community and we wish each one success in his chosen profession. The country thriven on salesmanship. p p—' ’ John L. Lewis may not call his coal strike tomorrow, for it seems he didn't like paying that *1 fine The country is not in a mood for Lewi* to call the strike and the miners do not want to be laid off Just before Christmas. Pay cheeks have been few during the fall months and trouble may result in the workers' ranks if old John L. rides rough shod. o o— — The world loves an aetor, especially the happy go-lu< ky kind like the late Bill ''Bojangles'* Robinson, who tap danced his way to fame and into the hearts of millions. Mayor O'Dwyer delivered the eulogy at funeral services for the famed Negro dancer and more than a million persons lined the street* as the cortege passed on its way to the church Everyone felt that the fabulous character of stage and show climbed the golden stair* with his rhythmic tap of twinkling feet.

Help for One Type of Anemia

By Herman N. Bundesen. M.O. THE various forma of anemia are often classified according to their cause. the primary anemias i>elnr due to some disease of the blood making organs, those called secondary resulting from some lean fundamental condition which adversely affects the blood. Thue, a simple dietary deficiency due to failure to eat enough frontonUining foods may produce a secondary anemia Hemorrhage will do the same thing. A third and moat common cause ia a longcontinued infection. Since the blood forming mechanism in such patients is normal, they usually Improve rapidly with the administration of iron-contain-ing preparations, plus correction of the cause of the anemia. In certain cases, however, this treatment fails. ft has recently been found that la these cases where iron fails, another mineral, cobalt, will sometimes succeed. Perhaps the recently discovered vitamin Bl 8 might also be of help. It would apliear that the administration of cobalt causes an Increase in the number of redy blood cells The red cells produced in this way seem to contain a greater amount at hemoglobin or coloring than do ordinary ceils. The preparation of cobalt in a water sohttioa was given to •! patients three times a day <M these.

The tragedy at Gary where three persons met death as they were swept from a platform against a fast-traveling railroad train, will probably bring an investigation and later remedial legislation The charge was made that the train was traveling at 90-mlles per hour speed, which would be similar to having a hurricane pass through town. Suction from the passing flyer hurled the persons against the coaches. Excessive speed by trains through railroad station areas should not be permitted any more than auto speeding down main street. o o The Chinese Communists are carrying their hatred of Unde Sam a little too far. Their nastiness was shown in demanding that this country's vlce-connsul be recalled from Mukden, follow ed by shelling of an American merchant ship in the Yangtze river. Th* *e Incidents mean trouble and eventually a showdown will be called. It China had a stable government, the United States would send supplies and arms to rout the Communists who have taken the country. While our country does not want war, it will never permit any power to fire on Its ships and it the Communists persist, they can look for an answer in the form of a bomb. o o — Three new directors of the Chamber of Commerce will be elected by mail ballot this week and the board will organise and plan its program for 1950. Nest year should be an eventful one for Decatur, it should bring final determination In the proposed Youth Center and Community Building, completion of several municipal improvements, including the water treatment plant and possibly the construction of sewers and the sewage disposal system. Individual.* have indicated a desire to build more houses and r» alators are considering new addition*. both on the west and east sides of the city. Our efforts should he directed toward building a better place in which to live and work, increase employment by keeping the factories running and continue to promote the city as a shopping center.

termined in order to see how the patients responded to the treat ment. Os five patients who had anemia due to longwon tinned Infection, two showed an increase in the | number of red < ells and coloring. One patient with a cancer that could not Im* removed also responded well to the cobalt treatI ment insofar as overcoming the anemia is concerned The prepare tton was not of help in the anemia due to chronic kidney disease and cirrhosis of the liver. Every now and then certain reactions tp the cobalt may occur, including loss of appetite, sickrests at the stomach, sad vomiting. If a patient has anemia which does not respond to the ordinary forms of treatment, such as the administration of irea-eoutataing preparations and liver eitract, the possibility of using cobalt and vitamin Hl2 should be considered It would appear, however, that further studies are necessary before cobalt can be advised for general use.

CHAPTER XIX Continued My first plan for tonight was to take Dotty howling, but she gut very considerate: "Save your money for when we get married." Bowling might have been safer Old man Hardin must have won dered when he Parted down the stairs at the speed with which the cue hall hopped around the table after a long silence. At that, I had expected the footsteps to be those of Frank's father coming to fix the furnace, and likely looked more guilty than sin. Dotty can he non chaiant about getting caught neck ing. but I still do not feel enough that I "belong." It's her bouse, but also, rhe has less conscience on the subject generally. I am absurdly afraid of her parents, although they were nice last night, as though pleased to see their daughter at anything so sensible as a musicale. Tomorrow night, the Rotary and Kiwanis Clubs are feasting the football squad, liardin is taking both hit* wife and daughter, and believe it or not, Dotty and I are going to church after the affair, if it does not last too long Principal Prindlc beckoned me into his office when I was loafing around the bulletin hoard this morning. He was all smiler and congratulation* My scholastic record is excellent, he wanted to tell me: I suppose the smiles meant that he is pleasantly surprised that I did not turn out to be merely a football bum. Wednesday. November U “You act like you're nearer her age that mine." were the last words I heard from Dorothy tonight Her mother walked in on us when we were breaking my resolution again, quietly sat down in a chair facing as. When I could raise my eyes from my shoes, I made the first sound: “I'm sorry. Mrs. Hardin: we intended to behave ourselves." “We intended nothing of the sort," snapped Dorothy, much as I expected she would. Then Mrs. Hardin said almoat the same words that I have nsed before: "Dorothy, have I not talked to you about the danger of de elding your life with your body insiewd of your mind? Are you two heedless children unaware of your danger t* "Were not children, and we know what were doing." Dotty snarled "You are children so long as your minds show less maturity than your bodies." was the clever answer. I mumbled. "tt looked worse than * was. Mrs. Hardin: we have not done anything really bad We are trying to cultivate decent inter* ests." "Decent!" Dotty’ turned on me as though 1 had became a traitor The eniy fhtng indecent are the

"But we are xupposed to be Intelligent enough to adjust to circumstances like — ; well, animals blindly obey impulses.” Then Dotty msde the remark about my age and her mother's.! and stomped out. Her mother sat quietly, and I squirmed, unable to decide bow to exit. Mrs. H. said, I | "You are better mannered than my . daughter. Ego; and you have enough sense to know that we adults want to be your friend and i not your condemner. ft's not hard f to understand how you and Dorothy are powerfully drawn to each other, but you must divert attention to nonphysical interests or you will not be strong enough to resist temptation I like you more than I thought I would. Please believe I am your friend, and not just somebody trying to spoil your romance " Before leaving. I put those nice words to a little test, remarking about the tinted photograph of Dorothy on the mantelpiece in such away that I hoped was a hint for a copy. But Mrs. H. avoided with. "Yes. ft is a lovely photograph of our girt, tinted just right. I don't ordinarily like a tint, but this is net overdone.” So I left, defeated Now that I have the evening al! out of sequence already by writing last things first, maybe I had better get the day in order. When 11 went this morning to shake out the church furnace, the Rev Willis Axling of the Afrit an Methodist Church came down to the coal cel lar to ask if there was anything he could do around the church to repay Mr. Hardin’s offer I told him i had started to wash doors and woodwork in the Sunday School looms, but before be did anything, we had better find oat if Hardin had the agreement of other church officers on bis pro- > mine We went over to talk to Merle Hawley about it. and learwed tMlt the eiders would meet to-1 night af'rr midweek service and decide Merle wan sure it would be agreeable, and the colored gentleman went to washing woodwork on his day off from the factory He wants to make sure of a favor able vote. I hurried off to school, leaving him and Hawley still talking Nobody can figure out what started the fire. The first suspicion of bad wiring is unlikely be cause the fire chief Inspected recently.

It ended up that I am to taper off from football by getting into basketball scrimmage and refereeing. But Brady told me I do not need to give it more time , than convenient, nor do I have to obey the curfew since I cannot cone |Mle iuterscbolastically because ot my age. And tonight, at the Rotary-Ki-’ wants dinner. I came to know Brady has some sense of humor He was called upon to make a I comment upon the football season, • and started off like this:: “Ignorance. the Ignorance of one man. i« the best explanation I can give for this unusually good season. When we lost, it was because this Ignorant fellow did not know that we beHere in paying for watermelons in Indiana" That was awkward un til (be men and ladies realized it was funny I could look up again when Brady went on: "This same player was also Ignorant of the fuel that teams like Loft land Central and Longvale were the be<t in the state, and could easily beat Madrid, so Ivan Igorvich ignorant ly led us in walloping the best teams in the state. I wish he had been smart enough to be born a few mrmtbs later, so that he could help us In basketball" Friday, November 20 Am looking forward, not too hap ptly. to Frankie Rehmus' wallop, ing left hand tonight. I never felt like this before in facing a fight , or a boxing bout. Wonder if re-1 liglon Is making me yellow? Yesterday after school, I got in a little ne-d-d exercise in basketball scrimmage.
