Taft, fifth. Mr. Truman has his ups and downs, but it seems that many people admire his blunt* ness and common tongue. 0 0 This Country is such a giant - that it absorbs great shocks and despite apparent set-backs, goes forward. Commenting on this country’s prosperity and growth, Marquis Childs, the columnist, observed: “What must continuously amaze not only the free world but the slave world is the resilience and capacity of theAmerican economy.” Referring to a yean-end ’ reyiew • published by, the National City Bank of New York, the columnist said :\ “This pointed out how the pqwer of the: country to meet extraordinary demands has allayed fears of shortages and has quieted the alarm touched offbyJKorea. Consistently since the end ot the war, America's productive economy has confounded the prophets of gloom and perhaps it will continue to do so.” The late Arthur Brisbane, noted newspaperman, Used the phrase, “Don’t sell America short.” o 0 Our New States:— There sterna to be a fair prospect that the proposals of statehood for Alaska and Hawaii may be voted on in the present session Os Congress. The initial move is 1 being made in the Senate this , L. ... time, instead of in the House as on previous occasions. Previously the opponents have managed, by parliamentary maneuvering, to keep the proposals from coming to a vote in the Senate. The proposals of the two territories seem to be inseparable, yet their situations are quite differ-

Causes Os Mental Confusion May Be Varied

By Herman N. Butidfcaen, M.D. As a person grows older, there is a tendecy toward hardening of the arteries, n a number of cases this impairs the hlood supply to the brMn and lepds to mental confusion. The tendency varies a great deal, however, from person to person. Many reach the age of f)0 . with a minimum of damage to the blood vessels. Such people remain mentally keen and active, and / can often carry on'their business even at a very advanced age, Lose Interest Mental confusion in later fife usually includes 'difficulty in memory, loss of ability ifor abstract thinking and poor judgment. Some old people seem to lose Interest in things that formerly interested them very. much. Too often, when a person past the age of 50 shows these signs of mental confusion,, it is often taken tor granted that the cnndiij. tion is due to hardening T of the arteries. Also hlamed too frequently are high, blood pressure, diabetes and other diseases affecting the blood \ vessels of the ’ 'brain. It is true that these are about the commonest causes, but ■ several other conditions can lead to - these same failings and some are curable. Brain Tissue infection In certain cases, the trouble is an infection of tlie brain tisane, Guvh syphilis or tuberculosis, .-.n intertied contracted early in life may hot pfudhec aefiouu darn-

War Partners:— Russia’s part 111 World War H has come in for a good deal of discussion, ahd lb rfecfent years Americans have been inclined to think wfe would have been better off without that ally. Many war historians, oh the other hand, raise the question of what might have happened if Great Britain had been forced to fight both Germany and Russia after France was overrun. That rttuation might have developed it a single military decision early in 1940 had been different. |. |! The french governmlent proposed that jthe Allies bomb Russian oil flblds in the Caucasus, which apparently were a gourde of oil for Germany. Such an attack might well have brought Russia into the war on the German side. The British rejected the plan and the field was Uever bombedJJjy the Allies. [ > At about the same time Finland was ih the midst of the Heroic •I - z , ■ ’ ‘ . i struggle agaihst Russia. The Allies cfeme near to intervening actively on. the Finnish side. Again more cautious counsels prevailed, though rt thett seemed, a harsh and ignoble decision not to aid * the gallant Finns. It might seem now that the teaming of Russia and Germany would feot have been less desirable thjan the events since the war, but; the combination could \ possibly have turned the tide of war against us. Even if the Russian help given to the Allred fight were toj be discounted the fact that Russia was not helping Germany was of great importance. Prudence, or rashness, whichever prevails, often determines the course of human events.

J ' IP Brain tumof is another condition that may not cause hiental confusion until later in life. Many times a brain'abscess following a severe ear infection may give mental symptoms. »,■ Often, after an injtiry, t«inorrhage develops around the tissues covering the brain, d’he person then shows confusion, together with other signs of mehtal impairment, which are actually due to the injury.

MCLAJTTJtstt nunrx-itHui.fi THIS was the kind of evening Constance tovecL Her family and the Moores and Donald gathered together before an open fire with no danger of interruption. That was because they had come to the Moores where they could not hear the’- own telephone. But anyway, their study was too small for six people, and their front room, eharming though It was with her antiques, maintained a formal aif that was not conducive to inti* mate talk as was this beamed cosy living room. She looked around with quiet pleasure from one face to another. Barth, his increasing worries temporarily forgotten as he slumped in one of the two easy chairs with his long legs stretched .out, hie hands clasped on* his tetomach, and his eyes following the varicolored pattern of the little leaping flames. Nowhere but here did he allow himself to take that relaxed and comfortable position. Anne, on a footstool as usual, tn her slacks, hugging her knees, her eyes glow* ing and warin With the happiness she pad not yet acknowledged even to herself. Donald, cross-legged ofi the floor beside her, guarding so carefully his every look and Word and yet concealing from no one his jardent love for the slim gift next to him. Virginia, 'all dressed Up tonight In one of her tailored button-down wools, a blue that lent its color to her gray ayes. Ahd Philip th the other easy chair op» posite Barth —talking, for ft change. And about writing, too. Something he rarely did. "A new kind of literature Is needed,” he was saying. "The magazines are still: turning out the sama old stuff. ’it to the public as If the world were the same as it Used to be. Wheh it •isn’t Nor is the public. I don’t know whether the editors are stupid or the writers incompetent** “1 suspect both," Virginia said. “With proper apologies to you, Phil. Although I don’t think you are incompetent. You’re just in a rut.

The battle is already joined. And, 1 might add, yottr enemy is mine, too.” Constance felt fe sinking sensation. Barth Was ahead of her again. She did not know how far he had gone in his thinking, but front toe tone of his voice she felt that he was resolved on more than a stand. Ho hfed chosen some course of action already clear to him. What was iff She could imaginfe none that would hot mean grave involvements for Him. “How IS he youfs ?” Dohald was asking. ■ So then Barth told of the Session meeting last month, When the question hkd Conte up ak to What they were going to do* now that the church was getting sb crowded. Mellck had brought it up and a remedial proposition with it They Should build a neW chhrch. This one was antiquated. A regular firetrap for the choir that had to use the tiny balcony at the refer for a dressihg rbom. Why hot tear it down and build a new one? Barth had opposed the idea. The Little stone Church was dear to him after all his years therCi And he knew it to be dear to many of his congregation. Besides, it was 1 -gem of a church architecturally. Yes, he had admitted, the choir loft was not safe. And they ileeded more space. But why not enlarge the building that they had? Push it back—there was iafid enough—and just make it bigger that Way f Though actually, Barth had gone on, they didn't need a new church yet. (It was, only crowded on Christmas and Easter and some- 1 times on Communion Sundays.: At those times he had to conduct two services and—he must confess —he no longer felt equal to It How* ever, If they would engage an as* slstant minister to take over end of these services and help in the pastoral work as well, he thought it would be a much better solution. Certainly less expensive. For now was no time to build with the costs ot everything so high.
