Sign That Calls For Check-Up

THE appearance blood tn the sputbm was formerly thought to have single cause —tuberculosis. Today, we know that this symptom may be due to other conditions, buUit is stlfi regarded as a serious sign in many cases. Thus, every person who reports the spitting of blood should be given a careful examination,, Including a chest X-ray and tiny with the fluoroscope. | It frequently happens that _evpn these measures do not reveal any cause for the bleeding- lh these cases. 'if the individual is healthy and there are no other evidences of lung disease, the patient should be reassured, but warned to teport to the doctor again if the bleeding recurs, f In a recent study of 325 patients Who reported the spitting of blood, chest disease was definitely found to be the cause In 91; it was suspected but could n|»t be proved beyond doubt in 45, and iik, 189 no evidence of. chest disease could be all. ; In the group in which chest disease 1 was known oto be the cause, active tuberculosis was responsible J- for the bleeding ;ln 41 percent of the casesy In about 20 percent, the bleeding was due to bronchiectasis, or a condition la wttfcfc the walls of t&e bronchi or tubes leading to tile lungs be-

This statement was. made by six Nobel prize winners. > ' ' J ' ■> >\- It has been predicted that the population may reach the fourbllion mark within another two Or three generations. The matter of food supply for this greatly ex.ponded population has been one of grave concern, inasmuch as so idrge a part, of the world's people now exist on inadequate diets, T-hd six high-ranking chemists de? ejared that it would be possible to feed all the people on a healthy ajid adequate Hiet. ; It might not be what we would regard today as a tasty diet.

J ; In the second group of patients, it was found that a heart condition was responsible for the bleeding in many cases. Inactive tfiberculosis was responsible in the other cases. {j in the third ' group, in which jWo signs of chest disease could.

CHAPTER TWENTY THEY DROVE the road to Columbia in the early falling October night. The moon was high and bright, with thin wreaths of cloud drifting about, and low on the horizon a few pale stars. They were silent for a long time and then Anne said quietly, "I wonder why Aunt Laura never went back ? Twenty years is a long time not to see your own mother." “Laura had a father too. He was a sorry sort, of brute, from what John said, one of those characters who beat up their women. When Laura sent the money he probably took it and spent it on himself. Her mother seems to have learned to get along by herself. At least we can carry the word to Laura that her mother is doing all right." “But how could Laura never want to go back ? Her own mother!” » Harrison thought that he detected the thin edge of hostility in Anne’a voice. He said, “Could you leave iyour mother and not go back ?" She looked a trifle startled at thia attack,* frowned and did not answer at once. Then she said, “1 see. 1 deserve that, 1 suppose. Mother does irk me, 1 admit. She ought to show some spirit and npt hang back and drag her feet and make everybody feel guilty, ft isn’t as though you were asking her to live in poverty pr do a lot of hard work like Mrs. Gallagher. But Mrs. Gallagher loves it. She was so proud,of that cellar thing she’d made, and all that food —and she’s old! She can’t work always. What can she do then?” “Laura won’t let her mother suffer. And there are pensions for old people.” > Anne looked disturbed and angry. “We're all helpless, after all, aren’t we? There’s always some grisly thing lurking, some destroying thing—like old age or disease or panic—or a war! Or maybe people getting tired of you, as Johrmy got tired of Aunt LauraNo matter how brave you are or how much you try or hbw honorably you do it, you’re helpless! What is there that lasts? What is there that anybody like me can hold to?” “Yourself, Anne. The uprightness In you, the faith in yourself that won’t let go.” Laura Blayde leaned her elbow on the table and tilted an ear to the telephone receiver. “I’m glad you saw her, Harrie," she said. “It relieves my mind. You mean you' actually ate supper there? This sounds awful I know, but all my

memories of the place are definitely foul. Was it ghastly?" The voice on the wire held laughter and. the pleasure of giving surprise. Laura nursed a desperate hope that neither Harrison nor Anne would discuss her mother with Eden. Eden could never see Mary Gallagher as the heroic figure Harrison considered her. Eden would enlarge on the squalor, applaud Laura’s own achievement hollowly, but all of it would be tinged with ; the malicious satisfaction And suavely delicate arrogance that set Eden firmly in her own frame of respectable and substantial ancestry and left Laura pitifully framed in the deplorable. These protected women I They* had no common ground with their struggling sisters. ■. v LaurA hung up, feeling somehow light and .released from pressure. It was aa though a secret thorn that had pricked and festered in her conscience all these years had suddenly been withdrawn. Now she felt free, that whatever she did from now on would be right and unclouded With the hidden ignoring, the constant evasion of a feeling of guilt. She said, “Thank you,* Harrie," aloud again, and. went about preparing her simple supper. J ; As she set out her dishes on the card table, she put a lighted candle in the middle between her silver sugar bowl qnd the compote that had been a, wedding present. It hcld just enough jam for two people, but when she and Johnny had been the two people all the wedding presents had stayed buried in tissue and excelsior in storage* because Johnny thought housekeeping a nuisance and, a useless expense. Before she (had finished her coffee and the evening paper her buzzer rang. She looked quickly to see how miich Jam remained, for this would be Dcke, of course. But it was not Deke who stood outside the door. Laura gave ner hair a frantic swipe and swished crumbs off her , plastic apron at sight of per visitor. - “Why, Mac Fowler!” she exclaimed. “Come in—unless you’ve got a mandamus or something in your pocket!" The Judge said, “Hello, Laura. I was just walking by and I saw your light and it occurred to me that we hadn’t seen anything of you in some time. Mind if J’sit down a minute?” “This chair, Mac.

Ove hundred more points to win the big bonus. 1 was just finishing my coffee. How about a cup? ’ 1 can heat it ? in a minute —or would you rather have a drink?” "Coffee would be fine, Laura. We . have had dinner, but Hattie doesn't make coffee at night any more since Martha doesn’t come down.” She said, “No better, I suppose? Martha, 1 mean.” Mac Fowler thrust his legs out comfortably ahd had a care for his neatly pressed trousers. > "No better, but not perceptibly dorse. I doubt if we can hope for any more improvement. We’ve about reached the limit of what insulin Will do.” "It’s getting you down. Isn’t itasked Laura sympathetically. Mt shows on you, Mac." “It’s riiore tragic for Martha of course.” "And for Ellen.” , , '.His brows drew in. “Oh, yes, for Ellen. But Ellen does have her life before her while Martha and 1...” . Jv- . J "Stop it, Mac,” Laura interposed. "Stop it before you begin moaning that you’re an old man. All of which will be a crass bid for pity because you’ll never believe you’re really old—not even when you’re ninety. Two lumps?” Laura set the cup before him, grinning her gamin grin. “I feel very old sometimes." He let his eyes down, sighed heavily. "But you will never be old, Laura. If you should stick around nere for a hundred years you’d, still be the youngest thing alive. 1 wish—” he made an pbvious effort tb steer the conversation into .a less personal mood — “T wish Ellen had a little of your spirit. 1 don’t want her to be crushed by all this, but 1 seem not to be clever enough to prevent it.” “You wouldn’t want to send her away, of course,” Laura said levelly. Poor old Mac, he was having a rotten . life! It was breaking down something strong and fine within him. \ He considered her remark, finishing half the cup before he put itldown. ■ •‘The fact we face—” his judicial alt returned again, almost as though he wrapped himself in it for protection—“is that Martha may live for years, and on the other hand she may not survive another month. The doctors oan’t suggest any additional treatment, and I doubt if Ellen would agree to go away now if 1\ urged it. And in justice to her mother I would feel very hesitant to suggest it.” > (To Be Continued} r A • - ♦ .X’.. -j— •*

"It would be a good thing it she fell in love with somebody—the right person, of course. But with girls like Ellen, who have been so sheltered, it’s so apt to be somebody all wrong.” Mac’s face darkened’ a little. "You know about this football fellow then? This Italian who seems to be the popular hero of the Jay?” . “No, I hadn’t heard. You mean Tony Ricco 7 Has Ellen got a crush on that boy Just because he has his picture in the paper every weekend? It’s a stage we all go through." Laura tried to be light. “1 wish it were that simple. She’s had the man at the house.’’ “Tony RiccoJ At your house?” She could not keep a startled incredulity out of her voice. “She met him in Florida last summer. He appeared a decent enbugh chap. I encouraged Ellen to go with the Igleharts to one of the games. The Blaydes let Anne go along too—” “1 heard about it. They had to get Jim Eliot to bring them home. Now don’t tell me, Mac, that Ellen started burning after Jim Eliot. I’ve got me eye on that lad, myself- Besides, he’s got a wife out west somewhere that he doesn’t bother to get rid of.” “1 understood' from Ellen that Eliot conducted himself in a very gentlemanly manner. Lately,": the judge went on, “this Ricco has been telephoning quite regularly. Understand, Laura, I try to be a democratic and tolerant father. Martha, too, is a very reasonable parent. But some sort of change is happening in Ellen. She’s moody and abstracted and twice lately I’ve overheard her snapping at, her mother." “But he hasn’t been back?” “1 don’t know it, if he has —and Ellen is not a secretive person. At least she has never , been secretive before. In spite of my conviction that this fellow is entirely out of Ellen’s class, 1 don’t enjoy seeing her unhappy and confused in her thinking and her sense of Values as she seems to be.” The urge to detqnate something With a shattering bonng was too much for Laura. i She said, “There have to be people like you,.

The sad thing is that th* detachment of a pillar is so darned complete. You wouldn’t remember about love at all, would you, Mac? Young, silly love that suffer* and dies a million foolish deaths and burns with wildfire when it isn’t freezing with agony ? For you and Martha 1 suspect that love was very properly disciplined.” ■ He flushed a little, even the folds of flesh over bls collar reddening. *

“Well, we grew up in the same environment, Martha and 1. Our families were friends. We attended the. same ; school, the same church. It was, you might say, inevitable."

“And tepid,” added Laura bluntly, “definitely tepid. Oh, nice and honorable and really quite elegant All correct, but not much fun, was it, Mac?”

He got to his feet, lumbering a little. “Laura,” he pxcla Im e d harshly, “1 don’t know why 1 listen to you!” ■. ; “You listen because you like truth and because I’m speaking truth. Now you see something coming alive la your daughter, something yowl never had, something senseless and dangerous according to your stuffy code. You're jealous Qt Ellen, Mac, because in Spite of all the pressure you've put on her to flatten her out into your pattern^—Martha'S pattern—she’s showing symptoms of rebel., lion. And you’d like to have that rebellion yourself, though you’ve never dared own it, ahd right now you hate me for showing you how much you want it. For heaven’s sake stop glaring and sit down!” He '\ laughed, embarrassed, and dropped awkwardly into the chair. “You rather took my breath away. You’re wrong, of course. You are in contempt of court, young lady!” He laughed, but not heartily. “You nave a license, I supo«u to poke tug gt your elders and diagnose their mpcr, secret ills. 1 caq’t help the vears, but 1 can keep my body and mind from deteriorating. 1 can keep my thinking youthful at least.” “You said keep! You mean, you have been timidly encouraging a few reckless notions, Your Honor?” She said it teasingly. “You,” he said, almost lunging to his feet, “are my young idea, Laurg.

Her ehair slid against the wall and she .was out of it iithely, but though ner small body was tense and tingling with , fury, her voice was husky and steady though with gn undertone of surprise mingled; with contempt. •. “This is young business. Your Honor. Fun and games! You really aren’t dessicated at all, are you?” ’ ; He stalked a tew paces, leveled his finger at her. \“A young man might not appreciate you, Laura. That takes discernment... and ex. perience. You are a very, ricn person, you have sp much to give. You —’* he fumbled a utile, studying her eagerly—“you have a bou<|uet, Laura, like a fine wine... She folded her arms and looked at him sadly. "And how what you were about to suggest was that you’re taking a little trip—Atlantic City, maybe, or New York. And a refreshing person who would be a tonic for any man' would be wonderful to have along —especially if that refreshing person happened not to nave a man handy with guts enough to black your eye or smash your mouth for you!\ It she happened to be young and a divorced woman, with no tiresome relatives to bother about ano: no particular social standards to adhere to!” “My dear, you misunderstood me completely.. he began unhappily. ■ She how to the door and jerked it open. ”1 did, ,<fid I? 1 thjifk not. 1 had to learn to read sighs because 1 was thrown on my own. i > |in the dirty swanap at male »n---tentjona However, for the sake oL- your, proud family and the honor of the courts I'll pretend I misunderstood.

"Don’t dally, Your Honor, Get out—” r She slammed the door hard be- . hind him and shot the bolt. Then the violence went out of her and she walked to a desk, snatched out a drawer, took a framed picture from it, set it upright. She glared with eyes that blazed at the young pictured face, tfee tilted, insolent military cap, the widg ahouldera and laughing mouth. “You did this to me!” she cried. “Yau made me into this thing—a discard—a lone woman that foulminded men dare to leer at. You did it, John Blayde, and I’ll hate yau till I die.” x (To «« GoatixuedZ
