This is *tbe banned week fol* breakfast lovers, as the last two days overlap with national doughnut week, which runs from April 19 to 26. These special ocfcasions make it hard to understand why only one week is glorified as national laugh week. -——o—o-— x Republicans are gathered in DeMoines, Alowa. for their state convention. While nominees for

offices will be named, tbfe main fight centers around the nkidinig of delegates to the GOP Chicago presidential convention. Both Taft and Eisenhower forces claim the majority of the 26 delegates to be named, but it appears that the Ohio senator may have a slight edge in the line-up. ——o— —o— — I: J . . Willie Sutton, the smirrky crook, will be an old man if he ever gets out of prison. New Ycirk Judge Goldstein sent him up the river to Sing Sing on two 15-year sentv , ewes, to be served after Sutton finishes a first stretch. It is figured that the bandit will be 90, before he has the chance, at freedom.- Most Americans will agree with the judge’s sentiment that Sutton deserves no consideration and that the crook is an enemy of society. - i o— —o —— x Are shopping habits changing?

Treating Rheumatoid Arthritis

By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. >. RHEUMATOID arthritis has been much in the news because of cortisone and ACTH. These two new drugs have given temporary relief from the ravages of this terrible disease. Arthritis is especially discouraging because it deforms the joints as It progresses. These deformities can cripple a person unless corrected. As In poliomyelitis, an orthopedic surgeon can prevent many crippling deformities if he has a chance to observe the patient carefully ap an early stage. Too Much Rest Harmful In the past, it has been usual to avoid exercising an afflicted part while the disease was in the early stages of activity. Doctors now believe that resting, a joint too much can be harmful. Along with the - rest treatment, they now prescribe a certain amount of activity to prevent deformities. Too much rest in a comfortable position may end in fixing the joints in a position that makes them useless, or .hard to use. The person with acute arthritis is . now taught that it is better to I bear some discomfort and keep XM2. SJnz

The federal government has a way all its own in checking an individual s income. A Washington internal revenue agent earned about $53,000 in salary in [five years, but the treasury department found he spent around $82,000. Then - the big question, where did the extra money come frpm? The agent is on the carpet ond may be indicated as an outcome of the federal investigation. ' o o [i ' •• ■ ■ Queen Juliana of the Netherlands is a wholesome woman and a wonderful mother. When she is not occupied with affairs of state

and government she devotes : her time to her four daughters. Her royal status does not prevent; her from living as an ordinary person and 1 she much prefers to move around without too much fuss. \ She smiled and enjoyed the informal remarks of President Truryan who greeted her and her husband. Prince Bernhard when they arrived in Washington to thank the United States for liberation of their country from German; occupation. They are the country's ’guests in the newly remodeled and decorated White House. The nation salutes the Dutch rulers, who are very much like American homefolk. i |

Amish schools are for Amish children. While their schools are not equivalent to our public or parochial schools that are fully accredited by the state, they evidently satisfy the Amish idea of education. These families remove •themselves from community and have little in common with neighbors not of their sect. Education is probably what they need most in qualifying as full fledged American citizens., but this country is very tolerant in its citizenship demands. Schools similar to the one established in Wabash township are said to be operating in Jay and La Grange counties and the Amish feel that they meet the minimum requireiuepts of the state board of education and those of the state board of health regulating buildings and sanitation. Neither the state board of * the state superintendent of public instruction, nor the county superintendent of schools recognizes these schools. It would seem that continued operation of these schools depends on compliance with the law and the action of state education authorities. I .

He sings in the choir.” “How do you do, ma’am?” Joseph inquired, pleasantly, but without grace. \ j Miss Julie acknowledged the introduction. “Newman,” she muttered reflectively, “I suppose you’re Sally Blair’s boy, the one that married Frank Newman and went to live on James Island?” “Yessum," Joseph said. “You know my ma?” \ ■ “Very well Indeed,” said Miss Julie. “You give her my best respects, young man.” Joseph bowed clumsily, replaced his ridiculous straw hrt, and lumbered away. “Good gracious!” Miss Julie exclaimed; gazing after his departing form. “That’s country-c o m e-to-town or I never saw it.

I’ll have to go tomorrow to get it put of the savings bank. 1 think I have ten dollars and if 1 haven’t I’ll borrow the rest from Annette. Although I distinctly don’t approve of borrowing. Neither a borrower nor a lender be.” I Henri did not retort, for he did not believe that this could be meant for him- “Does Heniry approve of this, then?" he inquired.

0 — I Modern Etiquette I BY ROBERTA LEE 0 0 IJ ; • Q. Does good form demand that an announcement of an engagement be made promptly? A. Yes. This may be done by sending a notice to the newspaper, or by issuing engraved Announcements to friends and relatives. ' Q. How does a married woman identify herself over the elephone to a woman acquaintance, as, “Mrs. Johnson” or as“ Mary John son.” A. Usually as ’’Mary Johnson.” unless you feel that the other person cannot properly identify yon as other than ’’Mrs. Johnson.” Q. When giving an informal dinner, how should the invitations be issued? i\ A. Either by brief notes, or over the telephone.

when his father was poor as Job’s turkey! No. tus advice was against ; it. That's what decided me in favor of it. Give my love to the folks,” , she concluded. | >' ( Henri replaced his Panama and set off for home, j At dinner, a frugal combination of soup meat, okra and tomatoes, and the eternal rice, Henri again brought up the question of the lawyer's fees. ' “I saw Cousin Julie after mass," he said, “and she said she had made up her mind to send that ten dollars.” “Cousin Julie said that?” Heioise asked in some surprise. “1 can see that you don’t take any stock th it,” Henri said, slicing the naif of a raw onion tie ate every day for his health, and beginning to crunch a slice thoughtfully. ' “Not any more than I take any stock in the pot of gold at the foot of the rainbow. But If your heart’s set on it. Brother, why, you won’t be happy until you’ve sent in your share, I can see that.” Henri sat erect in sullen dignity. 4 "You talk as if it 1 were some sort of pleasure I was bound to have,” he said. “I think you will agree that I’ve never sought for ■ myself. But do you think it’s fair to Leoni e—” ••There’s no use arguing with me. Brother. You go ahead and do what you think is right. After ill, the legacy might be enough to bl»y Leonie a trousseau.” i I j ■' \ • "I don’t like joking about that subject,” \ Henri said crossly; "I’m not joking,” Heioise said. "You know the girl’s going to get | married one of these days. At least I hope she is.” “Plenty of time for that. Leonie’s only a child.” \. Heioise looked humorously exasperated but said nothing. “We must try to find a suitable , match for her when th.e > time ' comes,” Henri proceeded, taking a , spoonful of dessert, which was a confection known tn the family as patn perdu— bread pudding with a '■ tew raisins for adornment. “And I I forgot to mention this, but there’s a young man tn the choir whose 5 mother I used to know. Joseph I i Newman. He has a fine tenor voice * and he wants to come and call on Leonie.” • “1 suppose he will serenade her,** ’ Heioise said. || ?t, ••He seems to be a rather good young fellow. Sally Blair’s son. He i has a bit of Gullah in his speech,” Henri said, pitching it mildly. I “Leonie will probably ridicule him,” Heioise said. “Sally Blair’s ' son. Your old sweetheart, wasn’t she? Brother, I hope you're not going to try to force young men ' on Leonie because you think ’ they’re suitable. She will fall in • love with someone you never heard , of and probably won’t like. '

Record High Paid By G.E. In Suggestions Schenectady, N. April 4.—A record high of more than one-half million dollars was awarded to employes of the General Electric company and its affiliates for useful suggestions during 1951 under the company’s suggestion award program. The new record total of $523,816 exceeded the previous high of $375,006 established in 1950.

The number of suggestions submitted totaled 77.3'' I.

“We must try to influence her in a Sensible way,” Henri said. II After Heioise had gone to visit ahi elderly tnend tn need of gossip anil consolation, Henn wandered restlessly around the house. He did not want to go to the band concert at Hampton park, there was nd one he felt like visiting, and music was never performed in th< Lemay bouse on Sunday, a severe deprivation. ■ , J However. Henri could not resist try mg pis voice. He wandered into the parlor, which because of the small size of the house also served as-a sitting room, and opened the lid of the ancient piano. He struck a yellowed key and a wheezy groan came from behind the red silk which covered the fretwork panel He sang down the scale to his lowest tones and was reassured. "Magnificent!” was nis judgment, and he broke precedent still more by singing a few measures of an air from The Manic Flute. Then, firmly, he closed the piano. He toyed with the plaster figurines above it, wound the old imitation marble clock on the mantelpiece, and arranged a cushion on the horsehair sofa. At one place injthe maroon wallpaper there was a loose spot, and he tried it with oae finger to see if it would peel off. Through with puttering, he thought he might enjoy a game of Csinfleld. i wearying of the game after several losses, he took out the notes ort his family which he was making for Mrs. Cobb, a historically minded lady who Intended some day to write a book on the subject of the Santo Domingo refugees, and wrote a page or so in his beautiful copper-plate hand concerning the activities of his Grandfather Lemay. / ’ “Pious and scrupulous,” he wrote in the best memoir style, “RobertMarieLemay was a careful husbandman and was able to pass on to his eldest son, George, a flourish} ngand well-managed plantation on the Edisto river which the latter was unfortunately not able to - maintain after the War, and which was gradually passed into other hands. fW other children, Caroline, Suzanne. Frederick, and Leon emigrated to the Middle West and the Far West. . . .” As Cousin Julie had said, there weire a iqt of Lemays. All those cousins out West, for instance. They should all share in the money. Probably, too, some of them would back out of making their rightful contributions, and this was galling to contemplate. Nevertheless he would have to send that thirty dollars to Cousin Eugenie. there might be some way tc economize further in order to make up for it. . . • J (To Be Continued} ’jlgy Wil

Eeafher Balloon Is und In This City U.S. Signal Corps v Balloon Found Here A balloon, with parachute, lights and a barometric radio transmitter, apparently released by the signal corps of the U.S. army, was found in the north part of Decatur early today by city police. The barometer was attached to a small radio sent weather readings back to the point of origin, parachute was attached to the balloon to break the fall of the equipment when the gas in the ballon wore out and the equipment started to descend. It is understood that the equipment is not useable again and •when the barometer strikes the ‘earth It loses its accuracy. How*ever, the equipment evidently has done its service and sent its recordings to its point of origin!.

As usual, he encountered Mr. Bell, the rheumatic street sweeper, languidly propelling his brush, and listened to his daily complaint about his feet. “I’ve tried everything, sah,” he said dolefully. “I’ve tried washing my feet and not washing ’em, and I’ve soaked ’em tn everything you could think of, and still they hurt. I wiMi I was as spry as you, Mr. Lemay.” Pleased to be thought so spry, Henrt proceeded up Wentworth street. At the corner of Meeting he met Colonel Beecham. Colonel .Beecham was a tall, stately old man in a black frock coat and string tie and a battered Panama. He had a white beard and extremely blue eyes. “Good-morning, Colonel,” Henri said. “Good-morning, Henri. Pleasant day.” "Very pleasant. I haven’t seen you lately, ColdneL" “Tve been under the doctor,” said the Colonel "J caught cold over op Edisto two weeks ago when I was bird-watching.” ’Tm sorry to hear it” “Well, I’m getting a bit old,” said the Colonel, his voice quavering the least bit “Can't stand exposure; the way I used to. But it was worth it I Was able to report,” he said, swelling visibly with justifiable' pride, “the very first visit to these shores—at least the very first ever recorded—of the Tennessee nuthatch " "I congratulate you," Henrt said. 1 “It vfiH be recorded in the annals of the museum,” Colonel Beecham said. “Every little discovery counts for the culture of our city, you know."i “True,” Henri said. “Good-bye, Colonel” He touched his hat. The sun was bright on East Bay, and before long, Henrt knew. It would be beating into the Perfection Stationery company. Henrt made his way to the back of the store, climbed the stairway to the little office, changed into his mohair office jacket, and gave a final twist to his mustaches. He took down a file of statements, •pened ope of the big ledgers, and began his week. Ms knew that Mrs. Emmons '•? !J- J Hlh I | " '

would bit late, and he had the first batch of statements- ready tor her when she arrived. He heart! ner toud laugh, ner bustling footsteps, and there she was, fat, red-haired and no£sy. “How you this mornin’, Mr. Lemay?” “Good-morning, Mrs. Emmons. T® fine, thank you.” “They say you’re gointa be rich." “1 don't care to discuss it at presertt,” Henri said. Mrs. Emmons flung' herself into her chair and began to rattle the typewriter in away that suggested she was making up for lost time. She kept up a steady flow of conversation. , “You hear. about the smallpox case on Church street. Mr. Lemay ? People say Dr. White didn!t have no business to let him stay there. The trouble with this town—if got one of the old names they let you do anything. That Mr. What’s-his-name on Church street, 1 don’t care who he is, he ought to be in the pesthouse. How they goin’ to keep smallpox from spreadin* when they let a mhn stay right on Church street with a case of it?” Henri said he didn’t know. “1 was talking to Colonel Calvert about It,” said Mrs. Emmons. “He’s a sweet old thing. He told me I reminded him of a fire among the ruins. My red hair, you know. People say all sorts of things about him, say he got a lot of wild ideas but I like him. You ever see that nephew of his, Lincoln’s his name ? The one that’s been up North to\ that agricultural college? He’s a heart-breaker, that boy. I bet he won’t be single long.” "Indeed," Henri said, but the remark made him uneasy. “No girl,” said Mrs. Emmons flatly, “could possibly resist that boy.” She rolled her eyes. “Well, here comes Mr. Peterson. I wish I didn’t have to work today. These first few dpys of heat make me feel no-account.” “We Charlestonians,” Henri said, hoping she would understand that he was ostracizing her, “never pay any attention to the warm weather. It always cools off when the breeze strikes in the afternoon." “Maybe you’re right,” said Mrs. Emmons, “but I always sweat from May to September.” , \ Overjoyed to escape, Henri went down the stairs to have the usual Monday morning talk with his employer. V Mr. Peterson was a large, bulky man th his fifties, with a drooping mustache, full red cheeks, bulbous blue eyes, a large corporation draped with a heavy gold chain, and a voice to match his proportions. “You know we got to take inventory this month, Mr. Lemay,” Peterson began. “The stock is pilin’ up. Them ledgers there, for instance, is all too big. We got to ship some back or lower the price. And there’s them fancy boxes of writin’ paper catchin’ dust 1 got a scheme for them.
