Penicillin Used to Ward Off i Attacks of Rheumatic Fever

By HERMAN N. BUKDESEN, M.D. HEARTENING news in the medical world is a report that? penicillin can be used to prevent' rheumatid fever. This ease has left .many a child ah’ Invalid for life. ' /| A famous author has said, “Rheumatic fever is a disease which licks the joints and bites the heart.” This pcdnts out that the pain in the joints, swelling;; tenderness and disability during; an attack of rheumatic fever are; not its most serious results. Jtsj greater danger lies in the fact? that it often leaves a patient with; a seriously and permanently; damaged heart. Indteed, there is hardly any other disc ase that can be as serious and disabling over a long period of time. < Scars Heart Valves / Rheumatic fever usually affects the heart many years after the first infection, scarring the valves inside the organ, and interfering, with the normal heart action. The doctor can recognize this condition as ’ he listens tp the heart and hears a certain type of “murmur.” ' \v ■ ‘ Rheumatic fever also has a tendency to return, and the pa-, tient who has weathered one at-.,

CHAPTER FIFTEEN 1 A MIDDLE-AGED man ca me along, carrying a brief case. Ga- 1 madge went up to him; they par- 1 icyed, and then the ( man, with a 1 shocked glance towards the railings, retraced his steps to the corner. Gamadge returned and 1 leaned against the rail beside Miss 1 Austen. 1 “He’ll send in the alarm." ' “From* the apartment house?” j “Yes. They’ll be along in no time.” ! The man joined them, and in the I circumstances Gamadge couldn't I very well prevent him from taking i a look himself; so by the time the < police cars and ambulance camo there was a little crowd, but no- ; body nad got past Miss Austen and Aby, Gamadge and the fourth member of the original \party. I The crowd thickened at the sound of sirens, and there was some pushing and shoving and a great deal of baseless information going from \ mouth to mouth and into the earS of the patrolmen and thje detective from' homicide.\ Gamadge, staying where he wap, had only a glimpse of the young man as they got him out from under the stairs arid before? they put him on the stretcher and covered him. Very young, perhaps twenty: with fair hair, a flatfish undistinguished face, a brown sweater and slacks. He had had a smashing blow on the back of the head. The young detective got around to Gamadge arid Miss Austen at last. He glanced down at Aby with some disfavor—the dog had practically forced them into noticing * the body; but couldn’t answer a question except by drooling at the mouth and wagging his tail. Miss Austen gave her name and address arid was thanked and politely dismissed: she smiled and bowed to Gamadge, and went off up the street with Aby. “Dogs must be walked,) no matter, what,” said (gamadge, following the detective’s eyes. “That’s so. Well, I guess I’ve grit everything now, Mr. Gamadge. Thanks.” [. “Dead on ar r i v a 1,? said Gamadge, “but only j Ist.” The detective looked at him coldly. “People lie ground in doorways and on church steps, citizens think

That’ll be all.” Gamadgd thought it would be, unless some friend [of his at [the precinct noticed his name on jthe report. He’ moved out into [the open, tri crime face to face with young Mr. Ordway. Ordway hadn’t his dog with him this time. “Hello,” said Gamadge. “Hello. , My grandmother sa i d there seemed to be a gathering on the corner,” said Ordway, > “SO I came out to see what was going on.” “Yes. Tell you what,” said Gamadge, “it might be just as well if we crossed the street and wandered over to Park. Miss Austen is walking Aby, and she might take a notion to come around the block again.” “Oh.” Without pausing for questions, Ordway walked with Gafl madge-to the corner and waited fori the light. They crossed and proceeded east. “What I mean Is,” continued Ga-[ madge, “I’ve just been calling at[ their house‘by invitation; but they, don't know I know Mrs. Gray Austen. Can’t go into details yet." Ordway jerked his head in acquit escence. , i : ? “Don’t want them connecting me. with you,” said Gamadge. He added: “Just,in case.” ! “They dijdri’t see us together, I keep telling you,” said Ordway, with a trifle of insistence in his tone. “My grandmother saw our getaway last evening—h a s her you know. She’d a good 4cal brighter than I am. Says the people didn't come out of therri until we were well around the corper. She won’t say anything. We haven’t mentioned it to my father,” he went oni, with a sidelong glance at Gamadge. “He’s a little oldfashioned.” . Gamadge-said laughing: “That’s all .right, only 1 wanted to impress something on you. The Austens; are certainly going to make put that Rena Iran away with a manj Now we know that’s only tcclimc-i ally—" Ordway stopped and looked at. him. “You mean I’d better not see her again.” . —* ■ ■ —I <r> ■

McMahon Drops Hint Os Hydrogen Power Peace Application In Distant Future WASHINGTON, (VP) — Now they’re hinting at hydrogen power. It has long been known that the same atomic energy that wrecked Hiroshima can. be controlled to produce power, Witness the atomic submarine, the keel of which was laid at Groton, Conn., on Saturday. >But scientists generally , have said . the sort o_f atomic energy which will be unleashed when the H-bomb is perfected j could never be tamed for peace. 1 ' One paragraph in a speech made Saturday by Sen., Brian McMahon D-C’onn., suggests, however. that the hydrogen reaction oi the “superbomb" can, be harnesses. A “There is flow hope,’ 1 he said, “that possibly there may develop — years henc s—important peacetime, applications of 1 hydrogen principles.” ,*! McMahon is chairman of the house-senate ptomic energy committee. It is privy to all the secrets, if its wants to hea• them, of the U. S. atomic energy project. His committee office "efused to say what “peacetime applications" MfcMahon was? hinting at. If’ he meant power, the prospects would appear to be almost limitless. Atomic energy is released by fission splitting of the uranium or plutonium atom. H-boijnb energy is released by fusion Welding of the nuclei of hydrogen atoms. As a means of unlocking the tremendous energy frozein in the hearty of atoms. fusion iis many times more efficient than fission. That is one reason the H-bomb is expected to be vastly more powerful, j pound for pound, than an ordinary A-bomb. How you w mid go about harnessing hydrogen'energy sos non-vio-lent labors is ,a mystery. Scientists have bt en saying for'years that onl.V the multi million-degn <■ heat of the A-bomb can trigger the hydrogen fusion reaction. Once the trigger works, the reaction itself H-ah explained by the Atopiip Energy Committee^ — lasts only a split millionth of a second. The resulti\ Incredible violence.

Funny thing, I never had much success with them.” ' ' \ • “You pick the wrong breeds.** “That’s so, those Boston terriers ■were born snooping. Well, you behaved wonderful this time, I hear. Kept your alibi right with you, too —the lady.” “She was quite willing to stay.” “You deserve to hear all about the victim, 'if you’re at all interested.” \ “I am, ofcourse.” “Understand you came up pretty slick with the D.O.A. suggestion; Stevie Blitz, hardly knew what to makehof you.” \ 1 . I. “He gave'pie one of those looks; didn’t, need information that the young man was very recently dead.” nV 1 , “poor Stevie, had he but known. Boy’d just been killed, had he?” “Miss Austen and I were late by a few minutes, I should say.” \ “It’s going to be hard to identify that little guy, unless somebody recognizes his picture and description when we get them out, and comes forward. No identifying marks on him;, and nothing in his pockets, and his wrist watch had been taken.! Sig n's of it on his wrist.” “Clothes?” ' “You think labels stay put on that kind of old raincoat and that kind of slacks ? Or on one of those twenty-five per cent wool sweaters ? As for laundry marks, thfe kids n<?w ca|n take them and wash them in a public Bcndix. He doesn’t look local, the boy doesn’t. Maybe a drifter, wasn’t a bum.” “Can they; tell at sight?” ■ “Pretty nearly. M e c h a n i c’s hands, and he was eating regular. Well, that’s the way it goes,” said Nordhall. “Any time, any place, and? the motive a dollar’s worth of change and ia cheap watch. I suppose they’d pave taken the clothes off him if there’d been time. As it was, plenty of room under those Steps for a quick search. The killers were , probably even younger than he was, to bother with him at all.” “Too bad. if he was such a respectable boy.” 1 s \ “Well, so long; give my regards to Miss What-is-it—Austen—-when you see her.’? “I was looking at some books they have.” j j “That so?” Nordhall rang off. Gamadge turned to call Rena as she passed the office door on her way down to the kitchen. “Whatever you do, Serena, keep that uniform on for dinner. Macloud’s heart melts at the sight of a puir Wee working lassie; he doesn’t like members of the Lost Sex getting divorces.” t" . Rena stopped and looked in. “Won’t J still be a member?”

I Did I tell you Mr.l Ordway came in qn the scene of the accident over on Madison?” “No, did he?” “Yes, and he says his grandmother wishes to make your acquaintance. How wrong I was yesterday! From what I can make out, the old lady would have welcomed you on Friday evening with open arms; and passed you off on Ordway Senior as her nurse-com-panion; brought ih from the registry office by her ever-1 oving grandson. You know, it’s very funny about the generations, alternating the way they do. Never fails.” Rena stood trying to follow him, her eyes squinting with the effort. VOld lady and grandson adventurous,” said Gamadge.* “Ordway Senior has to have things kept from him.” “Yes . . . But you said accident,” objected Rena. “I thought it was murder.” ' “Oh, on Madison. First lesson in the rules of evidence; rough kids wrestling around, as you often see them do, and one of them gets knocked down the concrete steps and smashes his head in. The others, cop-shy as usual, roll him out of sight and go home to their supper. Happens often.” | “But do the police think—” “What they think,” Gamadge said, smiling at her, “is perhaps as far off the marß as the accident theory. There’s Macloud, I hear the bell.” Macloud was up to specifications. He was benign to Rena before and during dinner; and afterwards, sitting opposite her and drinking his. coffee,’; which Clara poured while Gamadge distributed little glasses of brandy, his Saturnine face still looked unusually bland. “We might as WeU clear away the non-controversial bu sin es s first,” he said, getting his notebook out of Ms pocket. “Mr. Macloud, I must tell you—” Rena choked on it a little. “I can’t help what Mr. Gamadge says, you ought to know.

On the boy's death this reverts to the original beneficiaries: public and charitable institutions in which the testator was interested, and excellent objects of interest they are.” Macloud lighted a cigaret and went on: I i ’ “Gray outlived him and got the i house and the income; but a large i part of the capital was tied up—■ about thirty thousand, I think—for the behefit of an old family servant.
