Salute the Flag ! —__o o—— To would-be aggressors, President Eisenhower gives the warning: “Do not attack us except at your peril, because we are going to live under God as free, secure and peaceful people”. And 160 million Americans will back the Commander-in-chief in that stand. —0 0- — As you drive west on North , Second street extended to the intersection of U. S. highway 27, keep an eye on north and south traffic if you wish to cross the highway or enter it at this point. The hazard comes in the free passing of cars from either direction and collision occurs when a car ipulls out from the regular traffic lane to pass another vehicle at the intersection. 0 -0 The Communist Czechoslovakia government pulled a gyp on the people in devaluating the country’s currency and a riot started in several cities. The mob went so tar as to raise the American flag and tore down the pictures of Stalin and Gottwalt, the latter former president of the socalled republic. More trouble will ensue if the Reds persist in finagling the people of their ey values. ——o——o Weak Grip:— One of the disappointing aspects of\ the Italian election results was the gain made by Monarchist and neo-Fascist parties. The surprising strength of these extreme right-wing factions kept Premier de Gasperi from the majority he needed in the chamber of deputies. The Communist party and its affiliated left-wing Socialist party also made gains. Although they are separated from the Monarchists by ideology it is possible that they may co-operate with those parties to obstruct the attempts of de Gasperi to co-operate with the United Stales. e-s De Gasperi may now encounter the same sort of opposition which tumbled so many French premiers power. A lot will depend on how astutely he can deal with the coalition which supports him. The future of Italy will be greatly affected by how long he can keep his insecure grip on the reins of * government.

Myasthenia Gravis a Disease That Causes Muscle Weakness

By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. MUSCULAR weakness means that the body reeds rest. This is the case when a person is so tired he cannot keep his eyes open. In a disease known .is myasthenia gravis, this condition is not due to overwork. Even when the person is at rest, the .muscles gradually become so fatigued that he cannot hold his head v.j>. Chemical Imbalanc t The condition is due to a chemical imbalance which prevents nerve impulses from stimulating the muscles to contract properly. This imbalance occurs at the junction of the nerve ends and the muscles. It particularly affects the muscles of the eyes, face, tongue, throat and neck. This disease may appear In youth or middle age. Most of the victims are between the ages of ten and twenty, or else between forty and fifty. At the start, it progresses very slowly. When the person wakes - up in the morning, he has no sign of the disease, but as the day passes, weakness of the muscles sets in. Other Signs He develops difficulty in chewing, swallowing, and speaking. Other signs are weariness and drooping of the eyelids, and inability to hold the head up. Some cases are fairly severe but then Improve. Others get worse rapidly and may develop paralysis of the breathing muscles, causing death. We do not know just why some

Connecticut is the safest state for pedestrians. It has just received first prize in the pedestrian protection contest of the American Automobile Association. The safest cities with more than 100,000 inhabitants are Rochester, N. Y., and Charlotte, N. C. York, S. C., has the best record for cities -under The safest large cities are Philadelphia and Buffalo. The sponsors of the contest record a marked falling off in pedestrian accidents since 1937. They have dropped 45 per cent while other traffic deaths increased 22 per cent. All this is encour- • r '■ h Ii j■ • I \ aging as far as it goes. It is still true that the average person takes his life in his hands when he tries to cross the street. 0 -0Roy Mum ma:— Death has removed a leading citizen, civic and business leader from pur midst. \ ■ V' :1 , Divine Providence called Roy Muinma to a higher station, following surgery and weeks of suffering. His death; occurred late Thursday afternoon in the Lutheran hospital, Fort Wayne. A resident of this city nearly all his life, Mr. Mumma was an estimable character. He was an ethical business man. He was a sincere layman in his church, a leader ih his fraternal organization, a civic minded man, who performed various public services in the community. Genial and always the gentleman in business and social contacts, Mr.-Mumma never spoke ill of anyone. Mild in manner, he spoke with the mildness of a cloistered voice. ~\ " Mr. Mumma operated a large lumber company and was deeply interested in things that went into homes. Building of homes was not qnly a business, but a hobby with him. Creditably did he serve four terms of three years each as a member of the Decatur school board, filling all the offices, including several years as president. His leadership and contributions to community life were given unstintiiigly. He lived life fully and generously. To his fainily ittis newspaper extends condolances on the death of husband and father, a devoted member of their family circle.

people are prone to this disorder The thymus, a small gland in th< chest, is believed to have something to do with the muscle weakness. Sometimes, removing this gland in cases where it is proven to be at fault, ma y make the symptoms less severe. Repeated Injections Injections of a drug known as prostigmine methylsulfate will usually cause the weakness to disappear rapidly. However, in, many cases, the injections must be repeated at frequent intervals if the muscles are to retain their power. Eventually the drug may lose its effect in this disease. Recently, a new drug known as OMPA (octamethyl pyrophosphoramide) has shown surprising results, causing greater return of strength. It can be taken by mouth, and is very effective when given in this way Although this new drug is still being used experimentally, if its good results continue, it will probably be used more widely by doctors in helping sufferers from myasthenia gravis. QUESTION AND ANSWER E. S. T.: My baby was born without any opening to have bowel movements. An opening had to be made on the side of his abdomen in order for him to live. Will he ever be normal? Answer: In many cases of this type when a child becomes older, an operation can be performed to close the opening in the abdomen and a normal rectum can be made surgically.

CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE “WHY DID you do it, Bill? Why did you let me love you?’’ Terry cried as I revealed how I had been wise to her. “To get your guard down, baby. It was an act from the start, an act as cheap as you and Ellerton.’’ “It would have been kinder to shoot me,” she said, in a soft, hopeless voice. “I wasn’t interested in kindness. I was after murderers. I took you to thilly with me for one reason—to hang you and Ellerton. That routine about Shenk was a coverup, and to my surprise it worked. Ellerton’s in jail now, and will be until his bail is produced. But that wasn’t my plan. I told you everything I was going to do, I let you see the whole pattern, and then- I gave you the chance to phone Ellerton from Philadelphia. Remember, I didn't leave you out of my sight until after we’d talked to Alex. Then I took your suit, made sure it be delivered for three or four hours and left you alone with three phones—all of them connected to dictaphones. But you didn’t phone Ellerton. You didn’t tip him off, as you might have. I checked the dictaphones before we left Philly and you hadn’t made a call. You let Shenk come into town with a satchel full of dope, and head straight to Ellerton. That’s the only thing that confuses me. Why did you doublecross Ellerton ? Is it just your normal behavior?” “What difference does it make?” “None at all. We don’t have him cold yet, but we will, baby, with your help.” She didn’t say anything, just sat there crying and rocki. g slowly from side to side. • 1 walked to the closet and rumrpaged through her clothes. There was a pair of browrn tweed slacks on a hanger, and on the Boor, a pair of brown, hand-stitched moccasins. I threw the slacks and the shoes at her feet. “That’s what you wore the night you slugged me in Jancy’s apartment,” I said. “I saw you step through a patch of moonlight, and assumed it was a man who’d done the job. You were acting all the time, too, baby, playing the’ scared, frigid, misunderstood, badly treated little thing, and all the time your mind was clicking like a cash register.” f “No, no!” she cried. “I—l wasn’t acting.” I stared at her for a few seconds. The anger was ebbing out of me, L and I felt bitter and miserable. “Why did you do it? Tell me that.” “It—it started so easily.” She avoided my eyes, and gripped her hands together until the knuckles whitened. "Janey came to me, and I went to Ellerton; that’s aIL I— I needed money, for. this place, for my fathc£ I’ve always been scared of poverty, of being without things, of winding up as a dead beat. It wasn’t serious at first. Ellerton was amused that a cute little blonde was checking up on him, playing \detective. There was no chance for her to get anything incriminating

i Modern Etiquette • | BY ROBERTA LEE | 0- 0 Q. When you have been asked to pass a dish at the table, and you were just about to partake of that dish yourself, is it all right to help yburself first? . A. No.; this would be very crude and ill-bred, unless of course the other person insists that you help yourself first. If a woman would like to become a member of a certain bridge club, may she tell one of the members. or perhaps; hint that jshe would like to join? A. No. Her best procedure wduld be to give a small bridge party pf her owfl and invite tiro or three members of this particular club; "j 1 "i" ‘ . Trade in a good Town—Decatur

on mm, out tnat s wnere ail tne smart guesses were wrong. Janey did build up a case, slowly, month after month, it got mord impressive. She contacted dozens of people in town who weire on dope, and by paying them she learned who supplied them, and (where the suppliers got the stuff; When she got enough she went to Washington, after telling me her plans. I told Ellerton —1 had to —and he took care of her when she got back«* “He took care of her?" “It—it was Eddie.” I let out a slow breath. That vfas too bad. You can’t kill a man twibe. “Then* they killed Marshall, the federal agent,” I said. “That left them in the clear. All you had to do was pick up the book in which Janey had kept her information, and that would be the end of it.” “I was in the middle. EUerton had enough on me tq hang tpe.” She shook hgr head from side to side, and the words cslme out desperately, wildly. ' “And you can hang him,”' I said. “And that’s what you’re going to do, baby.” “No—l’m through, Bill. I want to die.” y | j “No, yo\i don’t. That’s what you all say. But you don’t mean it, I’m going to prove that to you." I took her arm and lifted her to her feet. “Come on with me,’} I said. - y? I led through to the living room, walked her (to the windows. “Now look down into the Streqt,” I sahd, pulled the curtains back with my hand. ' /, It had begun to rain, hard streaming rain that rolled down the panes in slow solid waves. But we could see thq Outer Drive welt enough, and the -cars boring yellow holes into the gloom with their headlights. But there was one bar down there that wasn’t moving. It was a long black sedan, shining in the rain, and parked opposite the entrance of Terry’s building. “I told Ellerton Ure knew as much as Janey Nelson,” I said. “I told him we had a talking witness. He knew who I meant. That's why that car is down there, baby. It’s waiting for you." I was holding her arm and I felt it tremble in my hand. “I've got you and Ellerton in a squeeze play now," I said. “If you talk, if you tell Jancy’s story, he’ll go to jail for life. That’s why he’s going to kill you. The only wify you can save yourself is by talking, by making sure that Ellerton and his crowd are put away where they can never hurt you.” “I—l c a n’t I’m drained, through." She sagged against me, but I pushed her back on her feet “Then you die.” “I don’t care.” ; '' 5 B “We’ll see,” I said/ t I turned her and started for the door. She ‘ stopped and tried to twist her arm away from my grip, but I caught her wrist And pushed it up between her shoulder blades, high enough and hard cnougbj to force a gasp of pain from her mouth. . “Let’s go,” I sail. i .

we went out or ner apartment and down to the lobby in the elevator. I] ' “We’ll walk up to thatltar,” I said. “If I’m lying nothing will happen. That’s what to find out, baby. So we’ll walk, up there, you in front, and see ft Ellerton means business.” I forced her to walk ahead of me across the lobby. We Reached the revolving doors and I Stopped, my mouth inches from her ear. “You’re not going to said, in a low, bitter w'hjjs per. “Think of the way Janey »got it, strangled to death, and the way the red-head went out, tortured and strangled. That’s a tough out, but yours won’t be easier."She strained against me, pushing her body back into mitie, and shaking her head from side |o side. “You’ll get about halfway* to the car before they open up," | said. “They’ll use a machine gmf probably, and you’ll get a couple of slugs in the legs, a couple in the stomach, and maybe one or two in the face. You’ll lie in the gutter with the rain coming dowjf, still alive and every inch of your body dying very slowly. You’ll live quite a while, though: maybe iqjtil you get to the hospital and they start digging the slugs out of you. That usually finishes it.

She twisted against me again, but I held her tightly. , ft J “Now let’s go," I said. | i 1 pushed Terry into the revolving door. It started to turn, and I felt a breath of damp air coming in against my face. There was a damp film of- sweat on my forehead, and the air felt as if it were blowing over ic’e pn its way to me. It wasn’t until we wehe almost outside that she broke. “No, no,” she said. “Don’t make me do it. Bill.” i “You don’t want to die?"j “N—no. Please!" t I pulled her back inside the lobby, and I was breathing very slowly and carefully. IL, “You’U teU your story? ''You’U ivrite it?” O “I’U do wljat you want.
