? 1 ' v \ > Spring will soon in summer. ■/j'f O 0 A little turn of the clock t brought freshness to the morning. ■ 1 - “I speak my piece and then it’s up to them.” This is President Eisenhower’s attitude toward con- ■ gress according to the columnists ■r, Joseph and Stuart Alsop. Columnists are not always right but if they are in this case the President .might be heading for trouble.’ it f was such an attitude toward congress that brought grief to Presi- ‘ ~ dent Taft. -—o o Maybe Fort Wayne will get TV telecasting this year. The Federal Communications' Commission has granted a permit to radio station WKJG for channel 38 iu the tV circuit! and unless an appeal is . taken by the competing applicant, the ruling will become final in 40 days. Then the station can be ~ built and this section of the state should receive better TV rece’ptlon. At least TV fans hope there will be improvement, and less snow in the skyway pictures. ——o o Congress fumbles with the rent controLcontroversary like an undecided lady over a spring bonnet. First the lawmakers vote, to repeal all controls, then extend government supervision to August and now talk about keeping the control system in some areas until April 1954. Spending hours on this subject is a- waste of time,~ 'for apparently '* any control law framed in the present session will \have few provisions for rigid enforcement. o— —o Sen. Wayne Morse did all one man'bould do to prevent passage of the tidelands oil bjll, stating in at 22-hour speech that the federal government should hold control of ethe coastal oil deposits. However, the set-up seems to favor the turning of these rich submerged "oil deposits oyer to the “coastal states, where development of the?- oil wells will get into politics. . The question was one ~~r of the major subjects ip the last J election, aiftl Texas, Louisiana and J Florida bolted the Dempcuat party for the lure of oil. The senate is expected to vote favorably on the bill this week, which actuqp will redeem one of the administration’s campaign promises. J ' ’’’; ' -- - ' Gen.

. - ■ I ■■■■■■■ <j Aids for Hay Fever Victims

By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. HAY FEVER occurs most often in late 'summer and eady fall. However, many people have hay fever the year round, while others have symptoms in the sprlhg. .A Hay fever|s due to. allergy or oversensitivity to pollens- - from plants. The hay fever which occurs in the spring may be duetu pollens from trees and glasses. Usually, the person having hay fever has a watery discharge from the nose; watering of the eyes, and the person may even have a cough. The symptoms of t hay fever, therefore, are much j-1 like those of a cold, except there is no fever. / : i / Relief Measures Various ways to control attacks , of hay fever have been employed. The antihistamine drugs are effective in relieving some of the symptoms. If the case is very severe, ACTH and cortisone may be of help. Many times, Injections of gradually increasing \ doses of the pollen to which the . person is sensitive, if started early enough in the year, will help relieve the/attack. Usually, the person with hay lever has the most discomfort it night. Air-conditioners which liter the pollen out -of the air nay therefore be of help. Recently, a new mechanical

United States and UN to serve an ultimatum on Communist China to Jget out of the war, or be bombed. Maybe that is the way the war will end, but there #re opponents to thia drastic strategy. President in speaking to Republican women gathered in Washington, said the cold war could not be ended by t any “njiracuious overnight accomplishment,” which probably signiA ties that the Commander-in-chief does not favor the MacArthur plan. Decision in the matter is the responsibility of the President . and we believe in upholding his H hand indhis national crisis. 1 o_ o The investment of $100,0(10 by the city (all taxpayers) in a main trunk siOwer should encourage property owners in the northwest part of town to build laterals to the main sewer and bring about development of new housing and business areas. The main sewer is being constructed with funds raised by taxation. Sanitary sewers in the neighborhood can be. built and connected to the trunk line and the cost assessed to benefited property. It is a good, deal and should spur the development -of subdivisions. Decatur grows every time a new house is built. —— o— —o Up For Approval:--The peopjle of West Germany will have an opportunity to express their approval or disap- J proval of Chancellor Konrad Adein the forthcoming elections. Adenauer heads a coalition I g4vernment of which the Christian Democrats, fiisi own party, is the strongest focjtion. Adenauer hai achieved an admirable record the economic recov »ry/ of his country as well as in foreign affairs, i He has,been an ardent supporter of measures intended to unify Europe against th *' threat of Conx- ' munism and he has'led . the fight [ .against recurrent Nazism in his own country. . Perhaps the crowning aceomiplishihent of his term in office j was recent trip to the United ' States. He was warmly received in this country and this meant a' great deal to the of .West . Germany. Adenauer’s reception here means that they have come at least part of the way to this goal. • \ . l , If Adenauer’s party should J win the elections it will assure the United States that West Gernfany - willi continue ori the he has set. ‘ ' V ; I ■ I . ——

device to remove the pollen from the air has been devised. This machine can be put into the bedi room or any other room from which it is desired to remove the pollen. The air is drawn into the machine and through water sprays, by means of a powerful fan. The air is literally showered and washed clean. In this way, 93 per cent of the pollen in the room can be removed by the machine. Up to 200 cubic feet of air per minute can be washed by this method. | Thus, a new machine to help \ relieve the hay fever and allergy sufferers has been devised. But the doctor is the one to decide in each case which pt the various measures for the relief of hay fever should be employed. QUESTION AND ANSWER Mrs. 8. 8.: I have wanted chil- ' ’dren for a number of years, but , have been told that my womb is infantile and has not grown to its normal size. Is there any help ; for this condition? 1 Answer: You should, of course, I consult with your physician concerning the treatment of an in- - fantile womb. The giving of large ; doses of female hormones has i been tried in some qf\tbese cases • with- favorable results. Further careful study of your condition I by your physician is advisable.

CHAPTER THIRTY-NINE CAROL waited a few minutes. Conversation was difficult. "Juhe, L—l think I dropped a brooch on Sunday 'in the garage. I’d like to go and look," Carol murmured. Julie gave her a mocking little smile. “Os course, go and look 1 for it—in the garage," she said. Derek’s face was set th even more disapproving lines, but he said nothing. Well, she couldn’t help what they thought. She went quickly. Jason wasn’t in the gahage; she climbed the staircase to his apartment above and knocked on the door. He came and opened it. “Hello, Carol... Come back to have another^swack at my face? Go ahead; itfc yours.’’ His voice was grim. “If I’d guessed you were so averse to being kissed, I shouldn’t have kissed, you,” he added bluntly. Her small face colored. * t ' " "I noticed Julfe wasn't so averse to being kissed.” She couldn’t keep that back. i He looked down at her without Smiling. “Julie’s a good kid. Come along ip.” _ ’ i s The sitting room was attractively furnished in Julie's decorative scheme, red and white. Much more comfortably and charmingly furnished than you would have exSected. a chauffeur’s quarters to be. ulie must have put a lot of time and trouble into doing up this apartment before Jason had come, and again Carol know she was sickemngly jealous. "You wanted to say something, Carol?" he asked quietly. "Don Haskin is in town,” she said. She heard him draw in a sharp breath. “You don’t say! You’ve talked to him? Did you tell him where Thelma Felton ife?” The questions were shot at her. “No, but he'll probably\ find oiit from Derek.” She told him about Wainwright’s proposal tp buy Felton’s and Don’s eagerness to get the papers signed quickli. /While \ he Listened, the muscles of his face tightened, but he made no comment. ■Even after she had‘'finished, his remark was surprisingly mild. “I always thought Wainwright’s Was after Felton's. They’d absorb \lt like the big, cheap octopus that \ they are.” “I know. I hate the idea, Jason. If Wainwright’s bought out Felton’s, I’d never go back.” "I thought you weren’t, going back,. anyhow,” His voice had sharpened. “Yob and Derek fixed everything up?” he went on in the pause. A “Not everything yet.” That was her pride speaking. "But you are going to marry . him?” He was standing quite close to her, looking down into her face. »He seemed for the moment to have forgotten the important | thing, shout Wainwright’s buying out Felton’s. The long pause was doing, something to her, making her feel veak *t the knees and \ her head was spinning with absurd impossible houghts. She said quickly: \- “That' has nothing to dp with

what 1 came to talk to you about. Can’t you do something to stop Mrs. Felton from signing thdSe papers?” , ' ' ■ > •T want a little more time; Carol,” he said finally. “Two days' at least. But if Haskin finds out where she is—” He broke off and .shrugged. “And how can I stop him?” *T might be. able to,” she said slowly. " ■ - »■ • | Conversation seemed to have died between Derek and Julie by the time,, she got back. Julie looked whitie and exhausted, Derek was standing out on the small balcony smoking. Neither of them bothered to ask her if she'd found the brooch she hadn’t Lost. ‘ Derek remained silent as they drove away in his car. .Carol knew her abseice had upset him, but she didn’t feel she could.explain. The car twisted along the winding road, past smalt, beaches greying with the twilight, past houses dappled with sunset and with lights in the windows. 3 "That Felton character certainly seems able to get the women,” Derek said at last explosively. "Thelma was right about him. Did yoU see him kiss Julie? And why did you go rushing off to the garage?” “I wanted to tell him that Mr. Haskin had arrived*” • "What’s that for him*? He’s no longer with Felton’s.” “No—but 1 thought he’d be interested. It wasn’t just an excuse, Derek:” He.r voice, rose angrily? “It wasn’t?" He glanced towards her, his expression sotten1 ing* ' \ ’ “No. There’s something Mr. ' Haskin told me about Felton’s I ! thought he should know. They—--1 Mrs. Felton and he—are planning ! to sell out to Wainwright’s.” He looked genuinely shocked. / "To Wainwrights f But they’d ’ destroy everything Felton’s has al- ’ ways stood for . . . Thelma told me ; nothing of thia in New York.” 5 "I don’t suppose she’s exactly . proud of thedeal,” Carol said bitterly. ■' . They drove up before a pleasantj looking roadhouse x ealled_ Indian , River Inn. They ate fried jumbo t shrimps and chip potatoes' sprved in a basket and listened to a man . playing on the piano. “What day are we going up to Vero Beach?” he asked finally. r "Couldn’t we make it Sunday? I I don’t want to, miss a day at the 1 store. I’m jxxst getting used to $ things.” "I’ll try and stall her off until a Sunday. It won’t be easy." He grimaced faintly. / “Can't you say you’ll be busy 5 until ttym?” “I can 'say that Maybe in\ the s Meantime she’ll occupy herself , with Haskin.” t She leaned across the table and said earnestly, “Don’t tell Mr. Ha»- - kin where Felton is—not just t yet. I—l wish yous wouldn’t" * s The look of angry suspicion ree turned to his grey eyea “Are those orders from Jason i Felton?” be asked sharply’. \“ i . # . 4 • -

She hesitated. “Not orders, Derek.” \ ■ - “I don’t see why I should play into his hands, you know I don’t like him. Though you still seem to.” He spoke almost rudely. "That has nothing so do with IL Hut I wish you wouldn’t tell him, not for a day or so.” “I don’t see how I qpn avoid it, if I see him. I hate Lying,” he ’rumbled. They drove home) shortly afterwards. She was conscious of a certain coolness in his manner, and she told herself she wasacting like a fool. It was h 4 who had the glass slipper. She’d try and make him Like her again. That was only common sense. She would try to-morrow-—or the next day. At the moment her chief interest was in getting back to the apartment. She wanted to telephone Don to tell him she believed Mrs. Felton was staying at some hotel in Miami. Unfortunately she hadn’t been able to find out which one. Carol telephoned Julie on Sunday morping to ask how she was. Julie brushed that aside curtly. "Oh, all right. I got up yesterday.” She paused, then added quickly, "Carol, Ben and Jason went out Last night late. They haven’t returned.” j "Oh ... Would you like me to come out, Julie?” ” , “I thought you were going away for the day?” V.'She hesitated. “I could put it off, if you wanted me to stay with you.” i "No,” Julie decided. “You’d better not come put here, Carol. Bep mightn't like it when he gets back.” She heard the honk of Derek’s horn beneath her verandah. She ran out and waved and called that she’d be down in a minute. She gathered up her beach bag and a white coat and ran downstairs. “It’s a lovely day,” Derek said, but she fancied he, too, was un-. easy. He grimaced and added, “1 hope it remains k a lovely day.Frankly, I’m not looking forward to it much.” \ “No,” she agreed“The drive .up there would have been pleasant, but now we’ve got | to take Haskin along.” ' •‘We’re taking him along?" she exclaimed. ~ He nodded. “I couldn’t get out of it, Carol. He was waiting at the hotel when I got home last night. He said he had to know where Thelma was. I couldn’t avoid telling him. I'm not much good at lying. Apparently, he’s been searching aU the hotels in Miami for her." ? Lordy. Carol thought uneasily, he will love me. What a nice drive it’s going to be! “Anyhow," he said, as he started up the engine, “his being with us may make things easier.” * Don was standing outside the Biltmore Hotel. The smile he greeted them with was perfunctory. “Hop into the back,” Derek said. "Swell day, isn’t it?" "A grand day,” Don agreed, - without enthusiasm. (To Be Continued)
