The fund is more than a >I,OOO short of goal and the writer emphasises that a small number of citizens have contributed to this community project. If just a little effort, was exerted, the fund could be put over the top. o o ,»-Price Director Mike DiSalle ? says prices are going up, because of the Capehart amendment to the . controls 'law. At the time this amendment was attached to the law, President Truman warned the country that it was “bn economic, boobytrap.” ..When congress goes back to- work next January, its first should be' to revaknp the controls set-up, if 1 the Capehart formula of fixing prices penalizes the public. Following a few days rest and catching, up with sleep, President Truman will begin writing hrs speeches which he will deliver to 'k • Congress next January.

Even in the case of the clerk-treasurer who was unopposed in her bid for re-election, the recheck changed the total by 27 votes. In one of the eouncilmanic races, one candidate gained 69 and his opponent iost 15 votes. Ln the mayoral race, the winner’s majority was boosted by 17. Such discrepancies must be the result of inefficiency on the part of election officials, who are charged with the responsibiiity of making accurate-reports.

Complications Os "Won der Djugs"

THIS side of Paradise, there are few unmixed blessings.' Modern medicine has developed many new drugs with . remarkable and even wonderful power to combat disease. -• it must always be remembered, however,? that these same miraculous disease-fighters are not without danger. They often indue* “complications of their own, causing more or less serious reactions. This fact, of course, should not lead to prohibitions of their use, but it does underscore need for proper care and safeguards. Reactions to the sulfonamide drugs are common. If too great a dose of these drugs is given, crystals'may form in the kidneys to block the urinary flow. The excessive use of the sulfonamide drugs in a sensitive person some-, times may cause a lowering of the white cell count to. a dangeious degree. Recently, a case of glaucoma (a disease in which excessive fluid collects within the eyeball, thus causing blindness) developed, following the use of a eulfonamide preparation. Penicillin reactions are fairly frequent and in about tour percent of the people using the drug. The greatest number of reactions occur after the use of penicillin in oil which, however, is not being employed very Often at present. The reactions occur when penicillin is given by mouth, skin disease, known as exfoliative dermatitis. ,ih which the entire skin becomes scaly peete; is not rare

Is the voting machine the safeguard against these human errors? . » - —o o Buried Treasure:— A. story from Portsmouth, England, has all the trappings of a novel by Robert Louis Stevension. Fifteen adventurers have -se. sail for the South China seas in search offpirate treasure believed to have been buried by Captain William Kidd, as swashbuckling a buccaneer a* ever paced a deck or , \ hoisted the skull and crossbones. There is something vaguely romantic about reading of a bunt for pirate gold in this day of the jet airplane and streamlined living. Perhaps this, expedition, like so many before, will fail to find the prize. It may even be, as some people maintain, that Captain Kidd’s treasure never really exist- ; ed. But the spirit of adventure which prompts men to go off to seek it is bound to fascinate those of ns who remember boyhood • dreams of such enterprises, but who remain at tyw to carry on _ the tasks of earning a living by less colorful but more reliable methods. o o— — *> . ■ • ] Armistice Day:— The parades and celebrations that marked the sighing of the * j Armistice in 1918 had scarcely j quieted when the bright hopes for lasting peace began to dim. No ? ■ i reaj peace followed the end of fighting, only a period of truce , \ while nations rebuilt the|r might. Celebration of the Armistice must be somewhat sad for the men who bought in World War I as they recall the comrades they left on the battlefields of France. Yet their fight against tyranny is still an inspiring page in pur history and their dream of peace is still honored. Armistice should be a day ,of rededication to the high "pun poses for which the world tfars were- fought. The Ifact that naDatidns did not keep the peace, does.not make the intentions nor the dee'ds of those who fought, less noble and valuable. , Americans are still ready to fight if necessary to make the world safe, but at the same time our devotion to the search for secure and lasting peace' is still strong. 1 < Armistice pay is a) good time to remember those things. .» ' ■ 11

treatment. Occasionally, a form of shock may follow a penicillin injection, and very often an allergic rash will develop. Penicillin should .always be given cautiously to people who have had previous injections, especially ’ to asthmatics. Streptomycin, another, antibiotic,' will give similar reactions. However, it also can produce some nervous system symptoms.;, Inhere may. be a disturbance of the auditory nerve, causing dizziness, tinging in the ears and deafness. \ ’ The newer antibiotics, such “as aureomycin, terramyein and chloremphenicol rri#y cause allergic rashes, but a more frequent complication is stomalh upset, accompanied by persistent diar- : thea, with itching and cracking aroyndt the rectal are#. . This- is due, to a disturbance by these drugs of the norma} bacteria that ' do not! cause any harm within - the large intestine Itself. Once such a condition is induced. it may persist tor a con- .

CHAPTER FIFTEEN AT THIS particular spot where Mollie and Nicholas were trying to cross the street, it could take as long as five minutes to find a gap tn the evening traffic. “From the first mention Os his name,” she said crossly, “you began to hold against Peter whatever it was that you had against his father." \ "And that wasn’t fair!” She ignored the mockery in his tone. “Darned right, it wasn't fair! Peter's a nice kid. There’s an innocence and naivete about Mms—" i “Oh, my!" "But there is, Nicholas. And it’s not something to laugh at.” “I guess you're right, darling. Here’s the mayor's limousine. If that hits us—” i "I know. We’ll get a municipal funeral. * She was laughing when they reached the “island." Here they need wait only on the light. “But tn a grown man. Mollie," Nicholas continued, as if there had been no break. “How old is this boy of yours?” “He’s twenty-seven. Why don’t you wear gloves?" 7 “Hmmmm, a bit older than I '.bought ■■ But that makes his naivete a bit more nauseating, too.” “It isn't nauseating. It’s—well—rather 1 wonderful, in the world of today. He likes everybody and expects them to like him.” “Don’t they?” "You don’t.” \ “Well, that would scarcely blight wyone’s life. Here we go—l left my gloves at your house.” “You did not I’d have found them.” . J He studied her face. "Hazel Found them. Tell me more about Peter and his need for help. Though it’s obvious he doesn’t aeed it. With you on his side." “I haven’t done anything but Help him get out of Clara Wayne’s aouse." “Did she object to his “Os course not. But—” She broke off abruptly, and relisted hand urging her along. She was looking over her ihoulder at the two tall young people who stood in the shadow of toe hotel entrance canopy. “Were they quarreling f" she asked, her rotce troubled, \ “It looked more like she was toreatening him. Risky business — Ragsdale’s definitely p.n." “Oh, Nicholas!” ' He nodded. “He sure la. Haven't rou suspected it?” “I only know him in the hospital—he’s very good.”

“No sign oi disbalance? There could be —it’s bad business for a very good doctor to have a wife like that.” i ’ Mollie stopped again to turn and look back at the white-faced young people still talking as if they were alone on the busy bpulevard. “What kind of wife do you mean, Nicholas?” His answer was rough. “Twotiming” was 'his gentlest epithet. “You mead he’s dangerous?” “1 mean your friend Clara is storing dynamite on her first floor,!’ “1. wonder if she knows it. Peter says- she won’t talk about the Ragsdales." “Can’t we leave Peter out of anything.” “Pm sorry,” said Mollie, resuming her way along the sidewalk. “You know, 1 suppose," said Nichiolas, after an interval during which his eyes again searched her face, “that if Clara haa A down on' Peter, she could extend it to you ?" “I can handle any down Clara may have against me.” Mollie spokA stiffly. • “Mjnnunm.

I wouldn't have said Shepherd was a man to pick the maternal type of woman, Mollie.

CHAPTER SIXTEEN MOLLIE lauriched into her Story to Nicholas of Peter's latest difficulty: “Well, it seems that Stoetzai has told Bbtcher that ne may do major surgery only when supervised by a Senior surgery resident” “Quite right of him. Butcher’s mortality rate is way up thpre!” Nicholas’ pipe stem pointed skyward. “I’d take him off .the list if ‘twas me. Being manager, I mean." - r “Yes. Well, tn a case Butcher had, Diebai—he’s Senior resident, you know. \ Surgery— * “Thank you. Dr. Brooks.”\ "You're welcome, Dr. Cowan. Diebai passes the buck and assigns Peter to supervise one of Butcher’s sections...” Nicholas took a step backward. Mollie nodded. “Yes! I told Peter not to let the Senior do that to him." Nicholas* hands reached out, grabbed her by the shoulders and shook her until her yellow hair flew. A man, passing by, turned to look at them tn alarm. “Wednesday." said Nicholas to the stranger. “Come around tomorrow. 1 beat her on Thursdays.” The man hurried down the pavement. “Really, Nicholas..." said Mollie. “Really, Mollie! and I will beat you if you don’t keep that pink i nose of yours out of hospital politics!" \ “But, Nicholas..." • “You can’t do this sort of thing, darling!" “I don’t do a thing but slip him a word of caution. I knew what A would happen; he didn’t. 1 couldn’t stand by and see Peter get into a jam." “Oh, dear me," said Nicholas, looking about turn as if tn search of words dr patience. “Look! I’m paying your intelligence no compliment, biit it seems to me that someone should point out to you that Peter is only a junior resident,. while you’re a Staff surgeon!" I “What’s that got to do with it? If I can’t afford.to be kind..." “It isn’t tflat. The point is this: The Big Boys are ready to overlook a few mistakes on the'part of a new resident But they expect a Staff— Oh, MoUle, try to remember that you can be hurt tn the process of saving your Shep--1 "herd!” He was so earnest that Mollie had to consider what be said. “Maybe you’re right, Nicholas.” Her Ups quirked, and she glanced at him through her lashes. “Ifi I ' do get hurt—will you help me out of it?" ’ . seized her elbow, and turned toward her apartment house. :?t flirt with me, Mollie he said roughly. “Save that for your little boys!”

She was as angry as she could remember ever having been. Before the \ clipped hedge of tSr apartment entrance, she' held out a gloved hand. ’Good night, Nicholas." He was whistling a lilting thread of Chopin. “Oh, I’m coming tn with you,” he said, almost in tune to the melody. “Good evening/ Eddie! How are you ?” He caught up with Mollie at the elevator. “Temper, temper!" he murmured. His finger helped hers push the proper, button. His eyes smiled, but she would not respond. She could ignore him and she did. Leaving him to greet Hazel, which he did warmly, she went to her dressing cloaet and took off her outer wraps, went into the bathroom and smoothed her hair. When she came out, Nicholas was lounging against the kitchen door frame, tasting something. Hazel's laughter greeted his comment. Mollie went to the couch and picked up the evening paper. When he brought a little tray containing two cocktails, she shook her head. “Don’t pout, Mollie.” She glanced up at him, trying . not to like him. But his face was sb serene, his thick hair was rumpled a little by the wind, his eyes were so warmly friendly—it was all so like it bad used to be, their 1 easy companionship... She smiled, somewhat ruefully. “1 just don’t , want a drink —now," she said. "0.K." He drained his own 1 glass, picked up hers and roamed about the room, rearranging the flowers in a vase, picking up a new book. “Ttols good?” he asked over his shoulder. “1 don’t know. I haven’t had time to read it. It’s- about Semmeiweiss." . 1 “May I borrow it when you’re through ?” ' “Take It now. Why don’t you sit down? I’ll give you the funnies." Her anger had trickled out of her like sand. He came and sat down beside 1 her, and took the main section of the paper. “Going to hell on a toboggan," he commented, and Mollie giggled, because that was whiu Nicholas had been saying of the country for ten years. ■ “Are you staying for dinner?" “I wasn’t asked,” he said primly. She squared around on the couch: his eyebrow quirked to an--1 ticipation. “Yes?" he said alertly, i Her hand touched hia “Just this . and then I won’t say any more. But won’t you please give Peter a 1 chance, Nicholas?” “What sort of chance does he ’ need from me?” His question was I fair. ! “I only meant in your opinion > of him." ' , j “Does my opinion make any disI ference?” . “It certainly does. You don’t 1 tool anybody. If you don’t like a » person, or—or approve of them—they know it at once.”

Being sensitive is no equipment for a doctor.” “He’s a very good doctor, Nicholas.” “You keep saying that, and it may be true, Mollie. But the rscord says he is somewhat unreliable.” . She gasped. He turned toward her. “Look at the record, Mollie. And try to consider it impersonally. Peter’s been wisb the Group how long?” •About three months."
