Eisenhower’s most ardent boosters. He figures that if 60mniiou voters met Gen. Ike he < Would receive a vote from each. If 'that’s the case Sen. Taft and Harold Stassen are wasting their time in the state primaries. • (£ o Nearly half of the people who paid federal income taxes for last year will get refunds, according to treasury authorities. A year ago,' $1,800,000,-000 was rebated to taxpayers. Probably no check is more welcome than the one drawn on the government’s account in favor of the individual. With the other fifty percent, It is a matter of scrapping up the money to pay Uncle Sam in full. o o The Muncie Bearcats fought heroically to win Saturday’s game from the Kokomo Wildcats,-who didn’t fight any less ardently, but failed to get the winning basket. The tgams were about as evenly matched as any two in the state. The Muncie boys may be Worn dowi; from their semi-final victory and if that is the case, little New Albany will be happy. t The other •- two teams in next .

A Common Type of Poisoning That Occurs in Young Child lU

By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. I YOUNGSTERS will swallow or ‘ nibble almost anything left lying * around, including drugs, paints, and other hazardous items. The danger is not just a bad stomach j ache, but a serious case of poison- r ing. Many household' items are ‘ poison to young children. The commonest type of poisoning in children is from paint containing lead pigments. This is usually found on repainted play ( pens and furniture, also on toys ( and in crayons. New metal cribs J are usually finished in enamels ’ = that are not made with lead. ’ ( Symptoms Not So Apparent j A child with lead poisoning*has ; very different symptoms from i those of an adult. The severe abdominal cramps, paralyzed wrists, : and blue gums are not sq appar- i ent tn a child: . * , 1 In early lead poisoning, the child may show a change in disposition, becoming cross and irritable. He may have slight abdominal cramps with loss of appetite, severe constipation and vomiting ‘spells. If he has nibbled the poli sonous paint over a long period, he may have convulsions. Test for L<iad Poisoning It Is usually possible to Identify lead poisoning by Wood changes that can be seen under a micro—- * scope. X-rays of the hand and a t«st for lead in the urine also help defect the Poison. 11 v It is important to discover icad

far more amazing than an? created by the short story writer, in Columbus, Ohio, police t.re pot sure what to do with a llriendiy young man who broke iiito ths home of a deceased neighbor while the funeral was in progress and stole about SB,OOO. The police were quick to arrest him but a short time later discovered that the will of the dead man had made hipi the sole heir of the money and the house he had burg ;ariasd. The final ironical touch to the story came with the disclosure by the man who had stolen Bis own money* that he could not Remember where he had hidden it. The law may not be too i.nxiois to help him recover it. : l\ 1/ \ .T | -4.,. ~(> 1 . /•; •IL ■ ;| ■I ■ ■ "/ it ' New Premier:— The French government is ndw headed by rlght-of-center Premier Antoine Pinay. Pinay was ible ito * ■ I form a gabinet only because’the forces of Gen.\ Charles de Gaulle abstained from voting hgaiiist him. He does nbt have !a ma* jority in the French National Assembly and without the support of either the Gaullists or the Socialists it may . o be wondered hqw •long he can continue in office./' The one encouraging fact n the series of crises in France has • ■- ■ - 'li ’ been the retentioln of Robert Schuman as Foreign Ministjtr. It was skhnman who devise 1 the plan which bears his name for pooling the steel and coal resources of France with six European nations. He is a strong supporter of the NATO ami pt a European Army. It does little good to berate France for the unstable poiitidal situation there. The war in IndoChina has been costly and the losses in men and money haye made the people extremely critical cf their government. At any time there are numerous issues which could causei the fall of a cabinet and there are forces within the French government which T Bp'., displeased when these falls come about.

poisoning early. If! allowed tp get a foothold in a child's body it can lead to permanent damage arid even death. , - I . > If caught early enough,[lead poisoning can be, treated successfully with large ddses Os calcium and vitamin D. The child’s! diet should contain large amounts of milk. Taking Adult Drugs Strychnine is, the second most common type of poisoning in children. A child usually sWallowis the drug in the form of tablets; that were intended toy adults.|jJAfter taking a number of these taplets, he may "become dizzy a,nd have a flushed face. His walk beciomes stiff and jerky, and at lengths he may be unable to stand up. ; j The child pas a good charice to recover if he vomits upj the 1 strychnine, er the stomach is I otherwise emptied before copvul- , slbns start. The stomach should be washed out with a weak -sdlution of bicarbonate of soda.; QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS L. C.: The doctor tells my-hus-band that he has a rectal fissure. What is a fissure, and how is it I treated? Answer: A fissure is a cracking of the membrane atoundi the opening of the rectum- It is like an open sore, with pain, itching and general rectal dis- : comfort. It may be treated by local applications of silyei’ ni- j trate. In some cases, surgery is , necessary. > ' ! i Si- ■ I -■ 4 '

CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE THERE was a curtained, recess in the back pi the store. Thp young Chinese motioned for Liddell to follow him, led the way through into a snhall room beyond. At the \far ;wall, he fligered. the moulding, found a button that had been clev? erly disguised in the wood. A door slid noiselessly open. They stepped into the narrow, dim passageway beyond, closed the door behind ! stayed close to the ,ChineSe as he led the way through the damp passage, came to a room where a group erf Chinese were playing Chinese dominoes. They didn’t even |ook up as Liddell and the guide whiked through and entered another passageway. After a few minutes, they came into another room, evidently a catch-all for the shops above. Odds And ends were stored in confusion. Old ;furniture and crates of merchandise were pi ed to the Ceiling. ; The Chinese picked his way through the. crates, slid open another wall panel, waited for Liddell to follow before he slid the panel shut behind them. They were : in complete darkness now except for the pale glow of a flashlight the Qhinqse brought from his jacket packet, foddell followed him a.flight of rough hewn steps into 1 anot h e r passageway that smelled of dampness. After a few steps they went down another flight of steps, evidently passing under some road above, Liddell realized. A' hundred tee t farther they started to climb a flight of steps to what appeared to be a blank wall. •‘Beyond fois I may not go,”; the guide told |um. “To be fouftd in ; the forbidden territory of a rival tong might mean death for me.” Liddell nodded. “What do I do?” “I will arrange' for you to enter

CHAPTER THIRTY-SIX | IT WAS tne strident quality of’ I the voices that persuaded Liddell l that he was still allive. Each time the speaker emphasized a point,! it drove red hot irons through his, < skull. He had difficulty remember- . i Ing where .ne was, or what had happened, but* bits began to come back to tum. i, : . He tried to move his arms, found them abound behind his back. His tegs had beejn similarly treated. From the stuffiness of his quarters, he guessed that he had been dumped into'a closet someplace. Outside, the strident tones continued to pierce the thin closet wall Und send spears of pain to the back of Ljiddell’s eyes. He was aware that one of the voices had a familiar tone, but it took moments Os attempted concentration before he kdew why it sounded familiar. It was the nasal, flat voice of Goldy, the woman he had come seeking. He strainted his ears to hear What she was saying. “I tell you with Hunt dead we’ve got to handle this ourselves, Ben," she insisted., ’We’ve got to get it through. Things are getting hot and I want tc get out. But I want to get mine liefore I do.” The other voice seemed to protest, but Gbldy shouted him down. “Tliey’ll pay plenty for this stuff. I tell you. took a lot of chances getting these plans for; them. Tfhey’U pay plenty. And there’s only a two- way cut now.’’ She continued to pour the persuasion on heavily. “We can’t, Wait any longer. The Feds will find out this Stuff is missing from the flies and the heat will really shrivel us.’’ ’ H. The other I voice continued to protest, but less vigorously now. Liddell couldn’t make out the words byt the tone of surrender was apparent. “I knew you’d be smart,” Goldy exulted. “You set it up for us to get out of here. You can handle fthe short wave as well as Hunt I; ever could. We can get this stuff over to them tonight, then hole ■ up until the [payoff.”

the passageway to the gaming room Beyond that is a passageway that leads to the place you seek." . “Okay. all I want,” Liddell told him. "Tha(nks." “I hope you will) continue to be thankful, ’’ the Chinese muttered. He ran his Angers over the edge of the wall. A whole section secured to swing put of position, operated by an electrical mechanism that whirred as the door opened. ‘‘You Will follow this passage for a hundred yards. There you will see the Fan Tan. The passageway lies on the far side of the tables. Goodbye, sir." He turned on his heel, started back, the way they had come. Liddell watched the glow of the flashlight receding until the dip m the passageway hid it from sight Then, he stepped through the door, heard the whirr of the mechanism as it slid into plaice behind him, started up the passageway. Soon ne became aware of a low hum of conversation. A large room loomed at a bend m the passageway. He walked in. There were two large tables, each presided over by a stickman armed with a bamboo stick and pot cover, feach corner of the table was marked tn bright paint with a number from one to four. Ate the players would heap stacks df bills on a selected corner, the stickman would reacn into a pot of beans at his elbow, spill a handful of the beans on the table, cover as many as he could with the pot cover. Then, using the bamboo stick, he cleared the surplus from I the table. As sdon as. the uncovered I beans were cleared off. hp lifted the pot cover,, counted the beans under it four at a time.\ The players on the corner represented by the number left were paid off at the rate ot three to one. The absorption of the players in

Liddell struggled with nis bonds, | felt one of the ropes slip, started 1 to work on it in earnest. Here 1 was an angle even the Treasury Department didn’t nave, the sale of. military secrets, the existence of an unsuspected short wave contact with a foreign power. The ransom’ set-up had overflowed into espionage! Inside, Hie room there were sounds of the two making ready to leave. When footsteps approached where he was sprawled out. he slumped back, feigned unconsciousness. The closet door opened, a flash of light almost blinded Liddell as it flowed from the room into the closet's dark recesses. He could smell the cheap perfume as 6oldy leaned ©ver him, peered at him closely. Then the door swung shut, cutting off the tight. But it was not shut closely enough to shut off sound. “You know the way to the sending station alone, don’t you, Ben ?” Goldy asked. , Ceria’s voice was querulous. “Os course I know where tt'Ts? It was my idea to use a boat so’s they couldn’t trace where It was." \ Goldy grunted. “Okay, so you’re a Big Brain. So it was your idea to use the Sea Nympji. All 1 got to say is it's gobd> the idea worked 'out. uYou only get one wrong guc-s.” There was the sound of a chmr scraping back. “Let’s go.” Liddell waited until he heard the sound ot a a dor closing in the outei chamber, then started to work on his bonds. The loop around his right wrist started to slip, made a slack that gave him something to work with. The perspiration beaded his forehead, rolled down into his eyes, blinded him. He swore under his breath as the rope cut into his , flesh, worked all the harder. After , what seemed hours, the loop slipped over his wrist, freeing his ; hand. It was a matter of min- . utes to free his other hand and his feet

Ue; game was so intense that not an eye raised as .Liddell walked ih. He : watched the play for a few minutes, then, spotting the entrance to the other passageway thcyfly side of th* room, he eibo*«whiß way through the playerafneaded for it. Hb* paused for a moment at the entrance to the other passageway. There was no light visible. He plunged in, felt his way along thedamp wall. About a hundred fest from the Fan Tin room he started to climb sharply. W'fffCßiy sweet scent started to assail his nostrils and he fought an impulse to sneeze. Ahead he could see some evidence ot light. He started toward the source of the light slowly, brought the .38 from his pocket, held it at readiness. The only warning was the scraping of a heel behind him. He tried to spin in to meet whatever was doming, tailed to duck the blackjack. It caught him a flush Wow on the head, knocked him to ids knees. L> was dimly aware that as he fell nis gun slipped out of his hand, skidded into the darkness of the corridor. He reached out, tried to grapple with his assailant, caught a pair of legs—sheathed in a skirt. pie sap landed twice more and rhe knew the power hind flowed out of his hands. There was a series of flashing multicolored lights that merged into a crazy, blinding pattern. The only sound was the deafening sobs Os Someone breathing, the riishing of the blood tn his ears. The bright colors ebbed and flowed before his eyes until a flood of darkness came in to blot them out Liddell wasn t even aware of the two men who grabbed him roughly by. the shoulders, dragged him through the passageway into the room ahead (To Be

Cautiously he pushed the doot open, found mmself in a large, empty room with built-m bunks lining the three walls. He made bls way to a wash basin in the corner, doused cold water into his face, washed away the blood, dried turn self with a handkerchief. He pushed his hair back out of his face, flattened ft gently with water. After a mOmepi. no looked almost human. The cold water helped clear his head as’well. He looked around for away out of the room that would not necessitate returning the way he had come.; There was a door that led to what looked like a small hall He h walked over, opened the door a crack, listened. These was po sound. He swung the door al) the way open, stuck flis head through. He found himself'at the head of a rickety flight of stairs. The house seemed vacant. f J Liddell stepped to the top of the stairs, started down. At the landing he could see the room below. It looked tike the lobby of a small hotel of sorts. The room was par- ‘ titiqhed off with discolored piywood into an office tn which there was a desk, a telephone on the wall* a rack of old-fashioned keys. It Was presided over by a thin, undersized Chinese clerk. J Liddell decided to take his chances on making it. With no ohe in the lobby but the clerk, he estimated ..his chances, as good. He continued down the steps. | When he reached the bottom, the Clerk looked up, stared at him impersonally, nodded, went back to his study of the vertical columns Os the Chinese newspaper spread out bn the desk before him. J LWdell walked past the desk, made the street. Outside, he recognized landmarks identifying the place as blocks from the store where he had flrat entered the FanjTan maze.
