Decatur is all togged out in summer finery.

It depends on whether the glance is cast downward or upward.

It must be a bitter blow to Nehru of India,. who had sought to preserve the independence diplomatic overtures to Peiping. Perhaps! it inay causje Nehru to revise- his estimate of the rulers at Peiping. If so there may be a small gain for the free world in the loss of Tibet, for Nehru is Important to the Wtstern world. ' —l*—°-T'. i I The post of rearming Western Europe is put at about 88,500,000,000 in the President’s request to C mgress 'for the funds aijd authorization. That is a large sum, but is only a fraction of the cost A: A" I i’ ' ■ of our own rearmament program. The morfey must come ’font somewhere and it looks as if Anjericans a6? the only people who have it. is too valuable to be reckoned in dollars and cents. Wq may be buying, with a high, .-premium, an insurance policy da our freedom. The payin that light, are really cicap when we consider the value of what ,we are protecting. When two persons arrive at a doorway at the same ' time, the natural Inclination is to wait for the other to pass through first. This often leatjs to an awk->, v.ardimdment as both wait, and then another awkward moment as both acknowledge the courtesy

, : Conditions Causing Anemia i

,■ MANY people have lanemia, or lack of sufficient * req jcells and coloring matter in the ~lt . result from- many causes. Genetally, these causes may he divided into three main groups. The first and most obvious cause of anemia is loss of blood, either the Jesuit of injury dr of longcontinued bleeding to disease, such as that which sometimes occurs in stomach ulcer. Condiwhich make for increased destrhction of the red cells and those Which impair the body's ability to form them at, normal speeds make‘up the other two groups. A An undue, number of red pells may be destroyed as the result of infections or because of poisoning with various qheniical substances. Infants are sometimes 1.-orn with conditions* such as congenital hemolytic aln emi a, which bring about extremely rapi l destruction of the bipod; Blood cell formation ,i may be slower than normal, either because certain elements necessary io their construction are missing ' 01 because; of damage to the bone marrow, the. site pf their formation. One of the elements most needed f<>r cell manufacture is iron and,' where there is a lack Os iron-containing foodsl in the V ciet, anemia; always resiilt s. A Jack of vitamin C may be a factor. A deficiency of thyroid also makes for anehiia, as dries pirrf.osis of the liver. One of the most "severe of, all anemias, that termed pernicious, is due to lack of a - substance found in liver and liver extracts. \ _ Chemical poisoning, the poison, formed by germs and jt-ray radiation, can all damage the bone marrow so severely as to interfere with its- ability to make red cells. — ' ‘ . - j. In , addition to all of varied causes of anemia, there

When two motorists arrive at an intersection at the same time, all too frequently each seems’tot be on darting ahead of the other. This can lead an awkward moment, top, but the temper rather than the heart is apt'to be warmed. to o i I '-I - , I ! ' ' : Vjlf !

The end of school days should not mean the end of learning; but rather an initiation fata a world where new knowledge is learned and what has been learned is applied to living. A Perhaps no ,genefatfan of graduates has faced a less settled future' The threat, of war hangs heavy over this year’s commencement exercises and many of the young' men and women will soon trade daps aiidH gowns for the uniform of their country,We all wish that this were not necessary. We should like to be able to tell them that theirs would be an era of peace, of prosperity, of the b rot her hood of man. There is no cause for pessftnIsm. These young men and women have grown ’fap .In a free country. Tfrpy have learned freedom of speech and ireligion in their class-rooms, (far educational system is not founded on totalitarianism. : j ;• -A ‘ -It !•’ ! *' ' If they have' grasped American history they will already know V >! f that safety has never been a major consideration with Americans.. VThe future Swas uncertain for thosp who crossed the sea in fehips, for the- wagon trains that left for the for the settlers behind the Ipg forts on the frontiers, and fbr the other Americans in all our periods of history who started v>ut on new ventures. If our graduates have been truly educated they will prove themselves able to walk in such company.

are a. number lot others which are rot too well understood, such as that which brings about aplastic anemia in' which the blood-form-ing organs do . not function. It is sound medical advice and it is. Important f!or everyone to have the blood studied once or twice a year jo determine whether or not anemia is present. If there i s a lessening of the ted blood cells, the Yir«t step is to determine. 'if possible, what is producing -the condition. Obviously, .f it .is due to the source of the hemorrhage must be stopped. If the J condition is due to a lack of something in the diet, ♦.nis, too, cah be overcome by r roper selection of the foods that are eaten. It must Ihb remembered that at certain titnASt’lof life, such as infancy, the mgiunjfg period, preg- . nancy, and i 1 11 I urea st feeding, there may 6e« a need for an in r repsed amount of : ron-contain- ■ ing foods inj the diet; The iron may be substituted in the form of. various drugs. ?

11 ■‘ 1 ■ . CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE McGANN walked out, past the stunned Ma Handy, the stricken fighter. He felt intolerably weary. As often as he had looked upon death, the tragedy of the young and lovely weighed heavily upon him. ‘ “Better not to —" had been his last words to Shirley Stanton. She had walked away into the crowd, not letting him finish. He would have said “ —not to put lt off." But she had put it off. Now she was dead, and her secret was dead. What was it that she had wanted to reveal ? ‘They’re watching us—” Who they? “It involves a confession on my part?" What confession? He turned it over and over in his mind. He stepped off the elevator into the hospital lobby. Wexton was there and three other men. ♦‘She’s gone,” MCGann said. He told them the time. "She never came to.” "is it suicide or murder or what?" Wexton asked. "There were no notes,” McGann said. He had been for hours without a cigarette and now he lighted one, inhaled deeply. "That’s; all I can tell you? There’ll be an autopsy first thing tomorrow. We’ll all know more then." They were turning la way. "Let me phone this in,” Wexton said. "Chary’s in the car half a block to the left as you go out. Farwell finally took the Pennsy back.” "We’ll wait for you.” i ■>; She was huddled down in the corner of the front seat, and raised a fearful face when he came up. Her eyes asked the question. He shook his head. "There wasn’t anything they could do?’ "Oh!” There \was a world of pity in the muffled cry. She sat staring straight ahead, and McGann went around»and slid behind the wheel. After a While he said, “It’s Just about the kindest, easiest death there is. They never wake up.” * Light from the street! lamp, etched her profile against the black building. She didn’t turh. He thought, of what he had just said and of the pillow under Ronnie Tompkins’ head. He sat smoking quietly until \ Dink Wexton trotted up. ' ■ i The reporter climbed into i the back. "Let’s get out of here,” he said. "I’d rather take my chances in Manhattan.” They rode;in silence. MCGann turned off the skyway and drove into Hoboken. “Mind taking the ferry back?” he asked. "I could use a,river breeze." “I’d like that,” Chary murmured. “Go byway of submarine for all I care,*? Wexton said. "I’m going to sleep.” . They rattled over the planks and joined the line of cars moving into the yawning center of the Barclay Street ferry. They stopped, bumper to bumper, about the middle of the boat. Wexton slid down In the seat and tilted his hat over his eyes in sudden relaxation, i ! Up on the bridge a belli hang. They cast off to»rattling chains and clanking winches. The whole ferry shook as the paddles churned and then they were gliding into the blackness of the Hudson. "Let’s go up front,” McGann said. "All right” They left Wexton slumped in the back seat and edged their way along the cars parked ahead of them. Over on the right the rail was dark and empty and they leaned on it’ The fiver was ink, except where the ferry churned up white spume. Far across the river glowed lights of the sleepless city and down the bay the tiny lady raised her torch. ! ' v The breeze felt good on Mc-

She wasn’t— * ? "Don’t say she wasn’t the kind,”" McGfenn said. “Almost everybody’s the kind under certain circumstances. But I don’t think She killed herself either.” She seemed to think about that while the ferry made a long slow swing to the left. Up ahead a busy little tug huffed by with a string of barges and the ferry hooted warnjngiy. j Chary said, "And it wasn’t accidental fither?" ‘The autopsy will shew just how much morphine was takjen and then we can judge. But she went so fast I’m sure it wsls a great amount. They can linger for days with a slight overdose, you know.” A tremor seemed to tun through her and her arm tightened. "But how—* \ j McGann thought of the coffee cup and* of the jars in the locked glove compartment of the car. "They’ll find out," he evaded. She pressed the point. "And—and why? Why Shirley?” She had said, "I think I Can tell you who killed Ronnie . they're watching us . . But McGann said softly, "I don’t know.” \ Manhattan slipped toward them, skyscrapers rearing into the darkness, lights splashing along the docks. Slowly, Chary withdrew her arm, shoved both hands deep into the pockets of her coat. McGann appeared to notice the withdrawal no mote than he had remarked the original overture. He could see her face, plainly now, drawn in its loveliness, the lips slightly parted; He spoke lightly. "I’m going to suggest something but 1 want you to take it strictly as a sensible t measure. After what’S \happened it’s silly to tell you not to be alarmed, but let’s say dpn’t be any 1 more alarmed." > Her eyes already had begun to widen at his words. "What? What 1 is it?" ’Tm going to, dump Wexton. ’ Then I’ll take you home and you ! pack a bag. 1 want to leave you 1 at a hotel and 1 want to be the only .one who knows where you 1 are.” j. ; t \. ■ ■ _ ' She nodded. "Anything you say." ! The ferry was - heading for the 1 slip. They, walked back quickly. They had just slammed the car ■ doors when the ferry pushed heav-. • ily against the pilings and lurched ■ back toward the center of the slip with a mad throbbing of reversed 1 engines. _ ~ ' > Wexton sat up scowling. ’This r is the noisiest,'movingest boudoir • 1 ever Curled up in. My insults t to the captain.” > "You’re home,” McGann said, i “Be glad. Waite up smiling.” Engines raced, in the long line as . the Metallic clanicing told of Winch- ? es tightening. Then they were > rolling off into the wide sweep of 1 West Street. McGann headed up- > town. He said over his shoulder v to Wexton, "You want to go to 1 your \ office or some place, don’t you?” - "Since you put it that way/’ 2 Wexton said, “I do.” r They dropped him at an Eighth f Avenue subway station and drove 1 to Chary’s place. "I’ll oome up,” / McGann said. y "Four floors and no elevator,” 3 she warned. r He waved airily. “Tomorrow, f Mt. Everest.

"After all, Mary Jones is practically anonyxinous.” i She glared in bogus indignation. "For a man who was named after a truck you are getting on dangerous! ground, Mr. Mack.

He showed the clerk his card and mentioned the name of a member of the house detective staff. "He’ll vouch for me.” '• The clerk studied his precise Cuffs fpr a moment. “We’re very crowded.

"If you’ll have her register,"please.” McGann signaled and Chary walked over. She signed her n~nje and the clerk lobked at it, almobt : raising his eyebrows at this crude bit of subterfpge. McGann grinned : and she tapped the toe of a black . pump on the marble floor. | "Thank you, Miss —eh—Jones,” the clerfc said. A bellboy leaped at his signal.
