It will give you the Christmas spirit. o o—As the old gag goes it's tough sledding when there’s no snow, but certainly it's much better driving. o o Those waterless Fridays in New York will not affect those who quench their thirst at the Stork Club. o o The motorist caught exceeding the speed limit says 'Everybody does it.” The trouble is that it is almost impossible to prove him wrong. o —o The tragic death of the attractive lowa university coed may result in a murder charge against her sweetheart, hut from the latter's first statement, it appears that he did not intend to murder the girl. It sounds a little like the couple was playing a game as hazardous as Russian roulette. O O Fort Wayne seems to have more murders per capita than most cities its size. Its latest bizarre case is the murder of a man, who was found along the highway with his skull crushed. A woman is Involved, so It appears to be one of those triangle affairs, which generally wind up in tragedy. o O The rent control law has been upheld by the Supreme Court, which decision removes any doubt of the law's validity. The high court reversed a federal judge's ruling that invalidated the law. Rent control is necessary in many cities and the Supreme Court's unanimous decision favoring it will have a tendency toward its observance. o o Delaware is making a start on the reorganization of Its state government. The executive committee of a reorganization com mission has been named, and has hired consultants to make a study which will occupy most of 1350. The legislative resolution which authorized the project declared that the executive branch of the government has become “exceedingly complex, unwieldly and unmanageable." Delaware is not

Comolications May Arise After a Tonsillectomy

By Herman N. Bundesen, M.O. OPERATIONS for the removal of the tonsils usually present few durk-uhtes. There Is. however, one hazard against which the surgeon must always he <»n guard—the possibility of escessive bleeding. This possibility includes two types of bleed inn. one which may occur within the first 20 to 24 hours after operation; another which comes oa later, sometimea occurring M days after operation. The early bleeding may be due to the fart that a blood clot forms ia the tonsillar bed, end bleeding occurs beneath this cloth. The later Weeding may result from a number of conditions such as the development of an acute throat tofoctkm or infection in some other part of the body, a deficiency in diet, especially of vitamins and proteins, high blood presuro. local injuries to the Ussans of the throat, certain disorders at the blood, and from certain pnto-relteving drugs, notably aspirin, which may be administered dirring the recovery period. In order to avoid chances of each bleeding, the pattern is care-! fatly studied before operation to determtoe whether or not be has al dietary deficiency or some blood dteorder which may tatori-a with (he blood clotting These include anemia or lack of eotortod and rod oelU is the

alone among the states in having a government which answers that description. How much company will it acquire in the process of reorganization? o—o— Water consumption in New York City no doubt runs Into the trillions of gallons, when considered that officials said the 173-million gallons saved daily is negligible when compared with pumpage demands. For compar ison however, the Decatur water department pumped 222.900,0t»0 gallons of H-2-0 last year, so the amount saved in the big city for a day and one-half would run our city for a whole year. Life gets back to ordinary things after all. Just imagine New Yorkers going thirsty because of a lack of water. o o Senator Capehart howls about socialistic trends in this country, but in bis debate with Congressman Jacobs, he admitted he didn't know of any New Deal measure tha: he would repeal. Ail he wants is the chance to rewrite the laws. He is not alone in that desire, for Dewey wanted to do the same thing a year ago. Congressman Jacobs proved that the government is not going socialistic by stressing the fact that the Roosevelt and Truman administrations turned back the war plants to private industry as quickly as buyers could be found for the buildings. The next round on the debating circuit takes place tonight at Valparasio university. Go to it boys! o o— It is reported that the Chinese Communists have an ambition to reform the language of China. An association has been formed to try to simplify the written language and find a unified dialect for speech. It is even hinted that an attempt might be made to endow the language with an alphabet. It is extreme understatement to say that the Chinese language is complicated. The written language is made up not of words, like our more familiar modern languages, but of ideographs, more than 40,000 of them, most of tbem definements of ancient picture writing, each representing a thing, a movement or an idea. The spoken language is little batter, having a limited range of differing vowel and dousunant sounds.

There is also a condition known M purpura in which bleeding oei curs in some cases due to a decrease tn the number of blood platelets. These are bits of tissue In the bkted which take part in the blood dotting. Immediately upon removal of the tonsils, any bleeding is controlled by the physician. Sometimes preparations to speed up the clotting of the blood are applied to the raw area. Following operation, the patient Is carefully instructed in regard to food, eating, and other factors which may possibly Injure the tissues and start Heeding. The physician will avoid the giving of any drugs which may tntertere with blood ctotJng and thus produce blooding. It has been found that tailowing tonsillectomy, the use of louenges. made hp of a local anesthetic and a substance known as tyvothricin. may aid in preventing hemorrhages and speeding ap beating.

High School Pupil To Graduate School Skips College On Basis Os Exams Chicago, Dec. 14. —<VP)— Bev-enteen-year-old Joseph *. Nelson is m smart that he skipped college. He plunged directly into graduate work at the University of Chicago after studying three years at a Bronx high school in New York and a prep school at Rome, Italy. The unvierslty said Nelson is the first student ever to be advanced immediately to the graduate school. although the feat always has been “theoretically possible” under the school's unique placement tost system. University officials said Nelson demonstrated in sweeping, 30-hour entrance examinations that he already has the equivalent of a college education. Chicago accepts students who have completed only two years of high school, as well as high school graduates. But it imposes stiff entrance examinations on all. Nelson passed all the ordinary tests with superior ratings, school officials reported, and then took in stride four advanced exams given only to students of "unusual achievement" In all, he took 34 hours of brain-taxing tests. He studied "some" for the tests, be said, and found them "pretty hard." Informed of his status. Nelson dropped his beginning courses and enrolled in graduate work in mathematics. "I still fee) normal despite what the tests show." he said. “I was very happy to learn of the results and very surprised.” Dr. Maynard Hutchins, chancellor of the university who established the placement test system at Chicago, said he wasn't "particularly” surprised.

Making friends by appreciating other personalities became alto'ist an obsession with him. One of those friends. Japanese “S ki Yaki," appears in his wartime experiences. His feminine companions were numeroas to help him avoid the pain of love. But his love dodging was vain.

Ivan met again the “neighbor kid" he had driven home from church on the snowy night of Dorothy Hardin’s disappearance. Now a prospective freshman at Witherspoon. 17-year-old Dorothy Lyons took offense at Ivan's clumsy exclamations on her growing ap. Ivan fought the delusiom that he aoeld fall in love with another Dorothy in the Hardin house—but joyfully loot the fight.

No books to read, nothing to do except to count the kunai grass thongs and blades which thatch the roof over my head. I lie here until my ribs and leg mend enough. “Here is a melanesian refugee village in the mountains of New Britain. I am thankful to my fuuy friends for bringing me here from the wreck of the "Eager Igor." It was the morning of November I. 1043. when It crashed, and now it is somewhere near the middle of the month.

Stephen has his instructions on hiding this writing if the enemy comes and I can not get away, aad also, on giving It to Americans or Australians when they eventually get here. We were first hit by flak over Rabaul on that first morning of November But could have Mmped back bad not a couple xeroes spot ted as southwest of our target, and shot us up more as we flew a few feet above the water.

They would have likely burned to death in the crash bad they not hit the silk—except that co-pliot Ted Knapp might hare been thrown clear through the windshield as I was. The picture is fuuy in my memory, but partly from Stephen’s description snd vaguely from memory it still looks like a miracle that saved my life. I had barely enough altitude for the parachates, not enough time to get into my own. and could not turn away from this young mountain. Had said "good-bye” to Dorothy and earthly life when suddenly. It looked like I had a chance to pancake the plane into a steep kunai grass meadow But not enough control left for me to get the nose high enough and the tail low enough Last memory I have io of a grass covered shoulder of hill about eye level, over which should er, .Stephen tells me, I was pitched But the miracle lies in the fact that when my body flew in a south-westerly, direction, the plane tail fell back In a northeasterly direction and there burned. Had the Eager Igor flopped over that shoulder. following me, I'd have burned with M. But I've thought about all those things, and worried about my crew members, until my mind has gone hi circles.

Guta Guta has some good points, and I am determined to think about ' them From the coast this village is behind the shoulder where my plane crashed, snd slopes to the south. The trees which bide us look like osk from my doorwsy The bird calls are varied beyond my knowledge, and are constant from early morn till dark: there is a particularly pretty whistle, my reveille-bird, which awskeas me in the morning, but I hsve no idea what the creature looks like I guess it is a small bird. I have seen big white cockatoos, and red green-blue parrots flitting among the trees. The greatest blessing is the altitude. at which I can only guess I was fighting to gain fttaO feet the last I looked at the altimeter of the Eager Igor, therefore this may be something above that. Only onee have I beard a mosquito. Ante, but no terrible centipedes, or even millipedes like I saw on Kiriwina There are parts of me that a centipede could attack and I'd be helpless—ls those fast and evil creatures were as thick here as one place on New Guinea The front of this loaf-ofbread shaped hut ia elevated, but the back seems to rest aralnst the ground. I have seen or heard nothing of snakes And the temperature swelters only about four hours surrounding noon. Nights are cool and pleasant enough In fact when it rains.
