Gen. Van Fleet doesn't See any harm in letting the French in Indochina “give’'the Communists a few of our atomic bombso o A member of the House appropriations committee is named Wigglesworth, which seems to a good identification for his committee. O 0 Persons who attended those SIOO-a-plate dinners at\the Wal- ' dorf-Astoria would rather have listened to a speech on tax reduction. 0 o The wet weather has prevented ' farmers from getting into file fields, but it certainly has given th< lawn mowers a good crop to work on. * I 0 0 . l While hospitals minister to the dying, they are the scene where more new life enters the world. Last year 3,170,495 babies were born in American hospitals, which you might call a howling success. it 0 0 President Eisenhower and Former President Truman hold the , same opinions about the Russians. Both feel that, the Reds have a dozen tricks up their sleeve and that their word isn’t -. worth a cigarette stub. . V £ Sen. Byrd and other leaders in congress who make a study of -budgets and taxes, claim that the various departments have large unspent funds from this year’s appropriations. If that is the case, why all the monkey-business about appropriating more? 0 0 A Swiss chemist was so sure of his anti-snake bite serum that he let three vipers bite.him, absorbing the poison without the least effect. He inoculated himself witli the/new serum 17 days ahead of the experiment. It /sounds a little too much like the, “unloaded gun” story, but the man survived to prove his case, much to the astonishment of witnesses to the snakebite test.

Osteoarthritis Often Affects / People Past the Age of Fifty

By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. ; PRACTICALLY all elderly people, if they live long enough, have \ a point disorder called osteoarthritis, or degenerative arthritis. In fact, it has been said that this condition can be found in the joints of most persons past 50. Only about one person in ten, however, has any serious pains or disability from it, even when X-ray pictures show pronounced changes in the joints. Relief is usually possible in the painful \ cases. Grows Worse ’ This disease most often affects the fingers and weight-bearing joints. X-rays usually show that the condition steadily grows worse after the age of 50. In cases that give trouble, the patientusually complains of stiffness in the morning and pain after prolonged activity. When the larger joints are affected, the person has difficulty walking. Much of the difficulty of osteoarthritis can now be markedly improved by medical means. However, there are no specific ' medicines available to cure this disease. \ A new drug known as hydrocortisone, injected locally into the joint, ha* been found to give at least temporary relief of pain and stiffness in two-thirds of the patients treated in this way. Vaccines and gold salts are of little A help in osteoarthritis. Sedatives are sometimes needed

Th* national administration has given up hope of balancing the budget in the fiscal year beginning July 1, and with it apparently went hope for an income tax cut this year. Secretary of Treasury Humphrey gave out the bad news. He said, in fact, the administration may have to ask congress to raise the 1 national debt £ limit of $275,000,000,000. The present debt is less than ten billion from that limit. He told the senate foreign relations committee he was “distressed” by imparting such information. And for the taxpayer it is painful. 0 0 The old Methodist hospital in Fort Wayne may become a county home for the aged and infirm, according to plans being considered by hthe AUen coUnty council, y The building will be vacated when the new Parkview hospital is opened the county has so many requests for care of bedconfined patients that additional quarters must be obtained for the infirm. The building can be , modernized and remodeled tp meet state safety requirements for less than SIOO,OO0 f and in turn serve as a home for those who need medical and nursing care. Caring for the aged and ill is one of the virtues of Americans. ——o-+—o- — The Federal Bureau of Investi1 gation (FBI) is prdbably the most highly respected agency of government in this country. J. Edgar Hoover, bureau director is a genius in this line of work and the country has great confidence in him and his department. The efficiency of the FBI was nbted this, week when Sheriff Robert Shraluka wired the Bureau in Washington for fingerprint identification of a Decatur citizen. In the mass of files that contain the fingerprints of tens of millions of persons, the FBI was able to make positive identification of the local man, a service highly appreciated by Sheriff Shraluka and law enforcement officers who are frequently beseeched to assist citizens in emergencies, individual and public problems. *•.

song leaders, and pledges were led by Dorene Beery and Keith Brandt, Roll call was answered and minutes ofrthe last meeting were read. Old and new business was discussed, refreshments were served and games played. The next meeting will be May ■ 22 at 8 p.m. at the Magley recreai tion center. b ■ " : M - : ( " . ; < 7 H — ! : ! —: t

for the pain, especially after the person has given the Joints toe much exercise. Sometimes, if th« thyroid level is low, small amounti of thyroid extract are of help. The best diet for this condition is high in proteins, moderate in fat, and low in sugar and starches, with a good supply of minerals. When the joint flares up, rest » will usually give relief. Heat on the joint is also of help. This can be given either by infrared rays or diathermy (short wave therapy). A warm bath is also helpful. Some Joints “Frozen’’ X-ray treatment is sometimes of value to the larger and more painful joints, especially of the spine. In certain very painful joints, the joint may have to be “frozen”—fixed motionless in a plaster cast or other device. This is sometimes very helpful In re- t lieving thd pain. Sometimes, certain nerves and tendons have to be cut to bring relief. All in all, it can be said that the person with painful osteoarthritis can be helped with treatment by his doctor. By all means, self-medication should be avoided. QUESTION AND ANSWER P. R.: Are sebaceous cysts dangerous, and do you think they should be removed? '* Answer: Sebaceous cysts are seldom dangerous. However, it’e usually best to have them removed surgically.

Canalit locate- one of the windy City’s vicious sources of drug supply. ■ 1 II I« ■■ ■ ' CHAPTER EIGHT * 1 THE BAR was named Tony’s, a : comfortable looking place on the ' west side of the Loop, with brown wooden booths and pictures of fighters and show people on the walls. Terry Mitchell was at the bar, sitting sideways on a stool, her slim, well-bred legs crossed comfortably, and she was stirring a swizzle stick abound In a whisky highball. We said hello, smiled at each other and she suggested we take a booth. I said fine, and told the bartender I wanted a gin with a lemon peel in it, some water on the side. Terry took her drink and we sat down in a booth and faced each other across a scarred, drink-ringed table. “You like the place?” she said. ••It’s fine.” “I like it, too. The native fauna is chiefly newspaper people, gamblers, politicians and other deadbeats. 1 feel at home here.” “Don’t feel bitter," I said. “Haven’t you heard a child’s sudden laughter, or smelled a fresh apple pie ? Such simple things confound the cynics.” “Okay, okay,” she said smiling. \ ”1 asked for it. No more highschool cynicism, 1 promise." k She seemed more friendly and human now. Her smile was warm, and she looked pretty good in the soft light. It was her hair 1 liked best, I thought, the short reddish, brown hair that gave her the look of a tousle-headed little boy. When my drink came she put a cigaret in her mouth. “Okay, Bill Canalli,” she said, “what can you ten me?" I lit a cigaret for myself, wondering wn a t to say, and then dropped the book of matches on the table. She picked them up and lit her cigaret. "1 don’t chew, you know,” she said, and tossed the matches onto the table. “Sorry. I didn’t type you as the helpless female," I said. “Well, never mind. Men never light etgarets for me, so why should you be the exception ? Hdw did you meet Janey Nelson, Bill ?” “That was in Philadelphia. We Just met.” “No mutual friends, no formal introduction ?” "We’re pretty Bohemian in Philly.’’ I drank half of my drink and put my elbows on the table. “Ter-

ry, iei me ask tne queSUPfls. Okay?”! “Sure. Go ahead.” “W hat sort of a girl was Janey?” “1 didn’t know her too well. She sang at the Star, and was a good friend of Mort Ellerton’s. That last bit made her news, and I’m a newspaperman, you know.” That hit me hard. Mort Ellettbn was no Al Capone or Dion O’Bannion. He wasn’t international news yet, but he was big, very big in Chicago. . “How good a friend?” I said. “Very good. Mort and Janey were very clubby. They went to the track a lot, spent week ends with the smart hoodlum crowd out at his country place.” Terry inhaled deeply and blew a streamer of blue smoke toward the celling. “Jane was a clever little operator. A very nice kid, of course, amusing, likeable and certainly attractive. Ellerton ov.ms the place she sang tn, you know.” I sat there drumming my fingers on the table and trying to adjust my two images of Janey. One was clear and sharp and lovely: the other seemed a bit soiled aroflnd the edges. Trains run to Philly every day, I thought. Get a drawing-ropm, and take a ride. Grow up, mature. “Did you know that her young brother took dope?” 1 said “That’s the talk,” Terry said. “How did you find out? I’ll trade information with you. Bill, but it can't be % one-sided deal. Is that okay?” j P J J “Sure,” I said. “I spotted young Bob tor a dopey, and 1 followed him tonight. That’s why I had to meet you later. 1 trailed him to a joint called The Elephant. Know it?” ! I “It’s on North Clark, isn't i|? I know the place.” “I think he got a shot there. They supply it, I’m pretty surt.” “You’re working fast, Bill.”: She studied me, smiling faintly. “What’s your racket, by the way ?” •Tm a bookkeeper. Don’t bother telling me 1 don’t look like one either.” She laughed. “Okay, I won't. But the left shoulder of your suitcoat looks as if it’s used to a package that isn’t there at the moment. Come on, be honest with me. Bill. Are you a cop?” |”A private cop,” I said. “And I’m being honest. I’m not here on business. I just came out to see Janey.” She drew on hep cigaret and was silent a moment; Then she said, “I’m sorry. Tpls ib pretty rough on you, 1 suppose.” “Let’s get back to her brother," I said. “So he took dope, Eh?’| “Yes, he’s been on it for a couplg . fi

or years, I’m told. Janey never used the stuff, however. She kept him m supply, and paid him an allowance to keep out of her hair. That’s the talk." “Janey kept him in supply, eh?” Suddenly 1 felt lousy. The brightest spot on the horizon was that dark drawing-room on the Philadelphia train. “Well, why not?” she said. “Sisterly affection, 1 presume.” “Shut up,” 1 begged. She smiled and 1 saw that she was enjoying my reaction. “You mustn’t ask for things you aren’t old enough to' handle,” she said. “It's not my fault that your Ideals can’t stand a touch of reality.” . “On, shut up,” I said again, hot angrily but wearily. , 1 ? ; There were two Janeys tn my • head ano 1 -couldn’t keep thegi apart. One was clean and lovely, and the other was more than a tittle soiled around the edges. There was the one I’d known tn Philly, the one I’d taken to the zoo and walked with in the park, corny as all that sounds. She’d had deep clear eyes, a quick laugh and a Jong warm, pliant body that had close to me. The other Janey, was Mort Ellerton’s good friend—Mort Ellerton, the big-time hoodlum who was getting bigger ever/ year. That Janey supplied dope to her brother and paid him an allowance to keep out of her hair. 1 couldn’t keep the two Janeys apart. They were the same person, bewilderingly, sickeningly. Terry was smiling at me, and it wasn’t a nice smile. “You’re ill such fools,” she said. "Such stuffy Victorian fools. The tougher you are, the smarter you are, the more < asinine you are about women. Did you expect to find her waiting for you in a nunnery?” | “Let’s skip it," I said. •1 get a big kick out of you big, tough, capable men,” she said. “You meet a girl and make.a saint out of her, a paragon on a pedestal. What about her? She’s human, isn’t she? You weren’t thinking about her saintliness when you kissed her, I’ll bet,” “Shut up,” I said, feeling tired . and stale and cheap. "My you’ve got a flair for ( words,” she said, still smiling that not-very-nice smile. “The tiling is, you Can’t stand the fact that Janey was just a normal member of the I human race. You canonized her in i your own mind, and you can’t adi mit now that you might have been wrong, and that Janey was actuali ly the girl friend of a hoodlum and , feeding dope to her brother. You i expected her to be sitting chastely in a lily cup and waiting your arrival in a state of maidenly excitement. Isn’t that ft, Bill?” 1 (To Be Continued}

(Now, to pass on a eli- ( gibility, VA must know whether f the veteran served in World W’ar Il or sjnee the start of the Kor- . eav conflict, or both; what prior use of his loan guaranty benefits, if any, has (been made; tihe status of any prior CI loans, and whether th e veteran sMll owns real estate purchased with any such loans. !
