When the Bowel "Telescopes"
By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. A WEAKENED bowel can sometimes act like a telescope—l mean the old-fashioned type with the sliding sections. When one section of the\ bowel slides inside another, the condition is known as intussusception. This disorder can occur at any age, but is more frequent in children less than two years old. As a rule, it is seen in baby boys from five to nine months old. It is not uncommon in old age either. ! This telescoping of the bowel may disappear by Itself, with the « symptonis returning a few weeks later. \ Usually the child has a sud- ' den pain in the abdomen. He cries out, may wiggle, vomit, and then suddenly feels well again. A little later he may be seized with another attack, and these attacks of vomiting and pain become more frequent. , I Usually, the child is somewhat listless, but may be restless. He is hungry and tries to eat, but has difficulty keeping the food down. The stools at first may be normal, but later the child just passes blood and mucus from his bowels. At first this blood looks like currant jelly, but as the disease prol| greases, red blood is evident. Telescoping may take place in the large bowel or small bowel, and sometimes at the place Where these join. The turning of the bowel within Itself causes a bowel obstruction and the bleeding. Many times a telescoped bowel ■-.* . ' •

may be seep protruding from the rectum. A physicflan cart recognize this disease in some cases by examining the patient carefully. The telescoped portion feels like a tumor as he presses his hand on the abdomen. v I , A surgical operation can cor-1 rect the bowel weakness. Before it is attempted, however, a definite diagnosis has to be made. Usually the method is to give an enerua \contalnlng barium and then taking x-rays. The exact location of the telescoped bowel can be seen on the x-ray picture. Once a diagnosis is made, surgery should be performed immediately to reduce the obstruction, for the bowel may become gangrenous. In many cases, however, the barium Itself is successful in reducing the telescoping, and makes surgery unnecessary. Any child who suddenly complains of severe cramps who vomits and passes some blood from the rectum, should be taken to see a physician immediately. The visit may save the child’s fife. , QUESTION AND ANSWER R. K.: I had a metabolism test and was told it was extremely low. What would cause this?

SYNOPSIS Felton’s Department Store of London, England, is about to issue its annual employe award, comprising an exchange job at Appleton’s smart New York shop and a trip to Palm Beacp, Fla., in season. When Miss Carpi Marsden of sportswear is summoned to -the office of the manager. Mr. Donald Haskin, she is naturally excited. Her thoughts fly to 'lovable Jason Felton who had been managing the store but Who had been fired from that fob following tpe death of his elderly uncle, founder of this business. Informed by Mr. Haskin that she has been voted winner of ithe Felton Award, Carol of course is pleased. Mrs. Thelma Felton, pretty youhg widow of the senior Felton, \ arrives to offer congratulations. Thelma ndw owns the Felton Store, having inherited it under her late husnanti's will The handsome American bachelor perek Appleton, also joins the group.! Aboard the Queen Mary he will accompany ’the winner” Ito New York. Suddenly Thelma decides that she. too. .will go along on the jouirney. But this change of plan is annoying to jCarol. She dislikes the sleek, feline Thelma Felton who had married\ old Mr. Felton in .his dotage, wound him about her finger, induced him to disinherit his nephew. Jason. At a party given in Carol s honor that night. Jason, unbidden, shows up to pay court to "the winner." While they dance. Carol overhears Haskin cautioning Mrs. Felton against her proposed trip to America—"at this time. CHAPTER SIX CAROL waited a few minutes after overhearing' the exchange between Thelma and Haskin, then moved out from behind the palms too. She stepped right into Derek Appleton’s path. 4"Why, there you are. I’ve been looking everywhere for you to ask you tor a dance," he said. She went into his arms with a warm rush of gratitude 'and gladness. It was nice to feel that someone Ranted her company, and he seemed really to want to dance with hen At first she found his style of dancing difficult to follow. "Relax.” He smiled down at her. "You English girls don’t relax sufficiently when you’re dancing.. Listen to the music with your heart and with your senses as well as with your ears." She tried, and soon she’d fallen into the swing and rhythm of his dancifig. It was fun. “That’s fine. You’ve, got it now. Ydu’U dance a lot in the States. Palm Beach has wonderful restaurants and night clubs where you dance every night. You’ll be popular coming from England. They’ll want to see how an English girl ticks." He laughed. •I hope they’ll like me,” she murmured. His grey eyes smiled down into her blue-grey eyes. “They’ll eat you up,’” he said. He held her a little closer, but inja way she liked. She felt they were friends. Her former despondency lifted. She was glad she was going to the States. \ ■ . P And then suddenly her elation died. Derek said, "I believe I’ve finally persuaded Mrs. Felton to make the trip with ua She tells me she hasn’t been away since her husband’s death, and I’m sure the change will be beneficial. Besides, it would be good business for our two stores to get closer together. I know you’d enjoy 'having -her with* you—she's such a swell per"Yes. it would bc\ nice," Carol murmured, and hopea he wouldn’t notice she'd had to force a semblance of enthusiasm. At the conclusion of the dance, Jason came up to them. “It isn’t midnight yet and Cinderella is still . Ceps-right, 1552. b . V •

"He Steins rather a queer character, that Jason Felton,” Derek as he took her ovef to the refHphment buffet. "I gather he used!id be general manager here bu 4 ‘Was chucked. I don’t know thg ;lns and outs of It, but Mrs. Felton hinted he paid more attentiomtio the girls than to business.” | "That’ll hot ar o 1 said hotly. 1 ‘ , He footed down at her in faint surprise.?'‘But Mrs. Felton should know.” ; | I' , *’ Carol! Bit her lip and was silent, ahd just* then the music recommenced'and Jason was at her side. "Well, iwhat does it feel like to be a Clp<|elrella?” HIS grin twisted slightly. ;’’l bet there have been. moments’Avhen you’ve wished you could ri|h I at midnight, leaving your sliiiper behind in the approved Iwjjle, and become again jiist Miss ! , Marston of Women’s Sportswcat’?” “Yes,” he agreed. “How did you know'?’’!; r 4 ± He gtjrhaced faintly. "People ■ envy your successes, but they love you mors when you’re a failure,” he said i v ) "SomC’of the girls—” she began, and stopped, biting her lip, “1 know; You've felt the'claws under t|i|Q. congratulations, eh?” His volisoftened as he added, "Dcn’t yterry. Nothihg is ever quite perfect and you'll have a whale ot ja time in the States.” “1 suppose so, but 1 wish some of them didn’t feel as they do! It makes 'Wish I. hadn’t won the Award, i filer voice was a little i hoarse. I/' 1 “A reliptant Cinderella, eh?” . Again he.fertnned faintly, but kindi ly. "rm‘ fclad you won it. Os all the girlhjip this store, you most deserve “Tharikj you,” she whispered. "How’s* the flat?” he asked i after a pmjse. ”1 enjoyed that chat we had tip jthere." I "Did you? But you—" Again I she broktf off. Once more he seemed to ‘ read i her mind? ‘‘No, 1 never came back,” said quietly. “It wasn’t i that I didn’t want to, but just after that 1 learned that I’d got . the reputation of being somewhat i of a wolf! 1 didn’t want tp involve s you in anjf gossip.” ~ ' She said. nothing, but his ex- ; planation titlped to ease the sense of disappointment she’d felt i They danced fpr a whllei in sili ence. “YMj’li enjdy the trip over,” ) he said finally. *’A pity you have i to travel ilone—or will the hand- ■ some youtig American be on the ; same shl|?T* , "I gathered from\ what Mr. * Appleton said tonight that Mrs. .

She noticed that his brows were , knit together and he was paying t little attention to his dancing.. 1 "She be very confident,” by Jennifer Distributed by king :
he said finally. ‘ She, was startled. "Confident of what?" ’’Nothing,” he said, “nothing;" They went on dancing, but again » she knew he wasn't thinking of her or of his dancing. He was 'leaping about the floor rather, she thought wryly, like a kangaroo. She felt a twirige of resentment and of hurt, but k the hurt was stronger than the resentment. And then the dance ended with a roll of drums which meant the Award was about to be presented. "Your cue," he said. "You’d better go back to the official party, Carol" It was the first time he’d called her Carol That helped a little. ■ i ■> • • • No one can fail to catch the excitement of a great ocean liner getting under way. Carol felt tense with .excitement as she leaned against the railings and watched as the great ship drew slowly out to spa. She'd been so busy during these past few days she’d scarcely been able to draw hep breath; selecting a wardrobe, packing, giving’M|ss Murphy all the help and information she could about buying;, for Sportswear. Theima Felton had apparently made the final decision to make the trip within the last twentyfour hours, but Carol felt that all aloffg she had intended going. She was merely making a pretense of indecision. She remembered that conversation she had unwittingly overheard between her and Donald Haskin the night of the staff party, and she wondered if it had been because of him she had put off making a decision until the very last moment. It had been a very odd conversation and his manner when he had come down to see them off had been odd too. His surface geniality, she’d felt, wfffildn't have deceived * child; underneath it, he,was furious. And again that strange thought had come into her mind—Donald Haskin could be dangerous. The people .on the wharf were now minute, like pig jn ie s. The Southampton docks looked minute too, like something a child had modeled in clay. That world of solid land was fading out, but this great ship was a world in itself, so huge, it seemed more like a town adopt than a ship, a busy but singularly efficient town. And what a lovely town! Carol had moved in aw< through the beautifully decorated reception rooms; she had glimpsed the famous round bar in the Cocktail lounge, walked through the winter garden with the, palms and banked flora! decorations, ..seen the immense dining hall, elegant movie theater, the intimate night club* on the top deck, the library, the gymnasium and swimming pool, the small, excitiftg shops. Shops which boasted famous names and in whose plateglaM windows were displayed goads the like of which England hadn’t seen in years. The best woolens, worsteds' and twee ds, delicate . ctfina, Dalton teacups, Mm ten plates, exquisite examples of old Georgian silver and Sheffield plate. A* inviting (foliar spending —ahd how could anyone resist them? Carol thought. (To Be Continued) Features'Srndicata. .

Gumer Says Soviet Plane Turned Tail ■ \ • Fled As American Guns Opened Up FAIRBANKS, Alaska, .(UP)—A gunner on the Laboring Lady, a U. S. reconnalsance plane which wae attacked by a Soviet fighter and returned the marauder’s fire, said today the Russian fighter turned tail as soop as the American guns opened up. “As soon as that pilot saw the burst, he took off for home;” said T-SgL Jesee L. Prim, Ozark, Ark.. who manned the turret gun on the U. S. RB-50 four-engine aircraft. Although Prim fired 20 rounds from each of his six machineguns, air force spokesmen said they dbuhted the Red MIG-15 was damaged. The Laboring Lady’s captain. IX. Col. Robert S, Rich. Baraboo. Wis.,isaid' the American plane was not hit by the cannon shells fired by the Soviet fighter. He added: “In my estimation, you don't play with 20 millimeter cannon shells.” TWo MiG’s pounced on the RB--50 and Its 12-man crew about 25 miles east of Kamchatka Peninsula, believed to be \ one of the strongholds of Siberian air power. Only one of the fighters made a firing pass at the’Weather plane, however. Jack W. Dav|es, Wilkes Barre, Pa., tail gunner, noticed vapor trails and spotted the two Russian planes flying at About 30,000 feet and over the tail of the RB-50, then at about 25,000 feet. Rich said the bursts from the MiG’s guns weYe reported by Prim. J j j Rich immediately plunged the reconnaissance craft downward, seeking cover in a cloud bank at 10.000 feet. Prim went into action before the plane could nudge into the clouds. He sighted his guns and returned fire. Rich, under strict orders not to give the press details of the aerial incident, said the attack didn’t hurt the plane. “I’d rather yop got your information ffom the big brass,” he said. "YOu can pay he didn't hurt us. The plane and the whole crew is O. K. The* crewmen took it like real air force men.” Also aboard the plane was Ist Lieut. Harry F.

Supply Centers Are Blasted By Allied Planes Three Strategic Communist Supply Centers Are Bombed SEOUL, Korea UP — U. N. fighter-bombers raided three strategic Communist supply centers today in the wake of the fourth heaviest B-29 attack of the Korean Wept—a strike near the Yalta river. Air Force and marine fighterbombers, twitching strategy for the first time this week, smashed buildings and supply centers instead of slashing at Red transportation arteries. Thunderjets roared over a troop center 16 miles southwest of Wonsan, destroying six buildings and setting off one secondary explosion. Smoke billowed hundreds of feet info the air and prevented observation of results. \ Marine Pantherjets and Corsairs battered troop and storage centers southeast of Pyongyang and north of Yopan. The low-level raids set off secondary explosions near Yonan. Pflots claimed 90 per cent coverage of both targets. 4 “The Yonan target was left in shambles,”, said sth air force headquarters. Shooting Stars and Australian Meteors continued their attacks on roads and Communist rolling stock. The B-29 Siiperforts rained 270 tons; of bombs on a huge Cqmmu*hist supply area three miles south of the Yalu river. Thirteen other D29’s dropped deep penetration bombs on of tunnels and fortification studding the Reds’ defensive line. Meanwhile, four unidentified planes utrafed U. N. rear positions along the east coast, damaging one truclt. There were no casualties. Op the ground Dutch troops battened a ' 100-man Chinese attack force against western fropt outpost’ only a few thousand yards from Little Gibraltar W’here American infantrymen fought seven hours against 1.000 Reds Tuesday.
