But there Is probably no disease in which the patient's chance tof cure, with fewer complications, is more dependent on early di ignosls than in the case of meningitis. A false qr late start in the treatt x ment may suppress meningitis, especially if the antibiotics are - used, but it will not totally eradi- . / v cate the disease, and can allow L ■' the Infection to progress insidiously, even to a fatal outcomeA|»taalT>, Persona with rigidity and stiffness of the neck should have a spinal tap, even though it is an unpleasant procedure, before treatment Is begun.

Governor contended that the hotels were losing money and those critical of the higher charges said that costs were figured on capital investment. Indiana state parks and hotels are nationally famous and many of the guests that vacation at these places are from out of state. —-—o o—- \ . f ■ Difficult Role:— The Secretary of State of the States may have the most thankless job in the world. No matter what .decision he makes he is bound to irritate a considerable number of people at home and abroad. If he acts with an eye to the future, without producing visible results Immediately, he is accused of failure. If he makes a move to remedy an immediate problem and this decision later results in a set-back for the country, he is attacked as shortsighted. At present Secretary of State Dulles is receiving some criticism from the West German politicians who opposed Chancellor Adenauer in the elections and who maintain his statements on their elections constitute American interterence in a purely German matter. The Italians and Yugoslavians are both displeased "With" Amw leuu foreign policy on the matter of Trieste. Some Japanese are annoyed. over Dulles* rather blunt statement that Japan will have to play a bigger part in its own defense program. Israel and the Arab countries are engaged in a longstanding quarrel and because the United States seeks the support of both sides. t At home Dulles is faced with critics who maintain that our foreign aid program is \ a “giveaway.” People with other views try to show that his policies are costing us the support of allies abroad. He must be ready to explain his policies to Congress and to the people and at the same time he must be carefur to guard ; ■ i 'j II J against revealing our plans to our enemies. \ j Unfair criticism was hurled at Dean Acheson, but that gentleman ? kept right on working and earned the reputation of being one of the best Secretary of State in the nation’s history. ==.

meningitis, as well as many other types of disease. For still other types of meningitis, aurepmycin, terramydin, andtitteptomy cin are best. In a rare type ofmeningitis, known as pseudomonas, the use of a new antibiotic, polymyxin, Is often helpful When the meningitis is due to tuberculosis, streptomycin is the usual drug of choice. Much valuable time is lost by indiscriminate treatment without definite knowledge of the type of infection Massive dosages of the proper antibiotic must be given in most cases of meningitis, and that is why a physician will insist on a spinal tap before the start of treatment. It is. therefore most important that self-diag-nosis and treatment for symptoms of stiff neck be avoided and that a physician be consulted at the earliest sign of distress. QUESTION AND ANSWER W. Q. B.: Should misplaced sea glands be corrected 1mAnswer: In many cases, misplaced sex glands, or testicles, oi boy* will return to their normal position by themselves, before the ' boy has reached his teens. Sometimes the giving of hormones will help this. However, if by the age of twelve or thirteen, the glands have not returned to their norma) position, surgery is advised in many instances.

CHAPTER SIXTEEN RUXTON wap very hungry, but he resolutely passed two restaurants on his way to the Jail building. He walked along briskly until he reached the porch upon which Burke Griffin sat, idly fanning at files. He looked at the immense man wedged down, into his chair and hoped that bto contempt for Griffin didn’t show. He said affably, M My name is Ruxton, sheriff. Slade Ruxton.” * “1 know,” Burke Griffin said with equal affability. “You registered at the hotel the day before yesterday. You put down Denver as your address. You must have been absentminded, mister. They never beard of you in Denver. I wired down there." Ruxton stiffened, knowing just the faintest of fears. Now that had been a fool thing, putting down Denver so as to give the impression of being from out of state! But he smiled. “Then you also found that no police are looking tor me. Why did you bother, sheriff?” Griffin waved his free hand in a lazy gesture that took in the entire street. “It's my town to law, and my county. When a stranger shows up, I like to have a line on him. If he’s okay, no harm’s done.” "Fair enough," Ruxton said, but he was now a wary man who'd made a false estimate of another and awakened to his error in time. His smile widened. “By the same token, you’re entitled to the truth. I represent Wells Fargo. Care to see my credentials?” "Ain’t necessary," Griffin said. "You wouldn’t be willing to show ’em if you didn’t have ’em." He nodded toward the office behind him. "If you came about the jewelry from that old holdup, it’s under lock and key. Like I told your San Francisco office wheta I made the check-up, it has to be held for a while as evidence." “’Till this man Purdy tells you the name of the highwayman?” Griffin managed a shrug. Ruxton leaned forward, raising one boot to the first step leading up to the porch. “What would you do, sheriff, if I told you Purdy's present whereabouts?” “I wouldn't get into any lather. Truth of it is, Mr. Ruxton, I don’t believe Packrat can remember twenty-four years back." “Then you’re net really interested in arresting him ?*’ “He’ll show up one of these days.". .... '

Catholic Bishop In Poland Faces Trial Communists Charge Bishop With Spying LONDON, UP — The Roman Catholic bishop of Kielce went on trial before a Warsa-w tribunal today on charges of collaborating with Americans agents to spy against Conynunist Poland. radio reported in a broadcast monitored here that Msgr. Czeslaw Kaczmarek appeared with three priests and a nun. They were accused of “espionage, anti-state propaganda ' and diversionary activity.” The broadcasts identified the priests as Dan Danilewics, Josef Dombrowski and Wladyslaw Widish and the nun as Waleria Niklewska. Kaczmarek turned his central Poland bishopric into a “subversive and espionage center,” the broadcast said. Its activities abused religious freedom and preyed on “the religious feelings of the faithful,” Warsaw radio said. The maximum penalty on conviction -would be death. A Polish news agency account said Kaczmarek, believed to be the first Polish bishop tried before |

Ruxton said, vary carefully, “Suppose he were being held prisoner at one of the ranches.** , Griffin lost his affability. “Which ranch?” he demanded and almost came out of the chair. His face had turned the color of putty, and his hands made flailing movements. “Which ranch?” Ruxton shook his head. "I don’t feel that I should say until you've signified that you’ll do something about it Just what is your stand, really?” Griffin’s eyes squinted down. •Ulster," he said, “I’ve been sheriff hereabouts for exactly twenty years. People like my way of doing things enough to elect me again and again. I’ve talked to Wells Fargo people in the past on one case and another. I’ve talked to Pinkerton’s and private detectives tn hard hats and buttoned shoes: and I’ve talked to federal marshals, and to sheriffs who’d strayed too fan off their home ranges. I never found that I needed to take lessons from any of them or explain myself to them. Tm a little too old to change now.” Ruxton turned a cool face to him. “Then I think that ril keep my findings to myself.” “You do that,’’ Griffin said. Ruxton brought his boot to the boardwalk with a thud, turned on his heel and walked away, a high anger in him. He had learned only this: he couldn’t count on Burke Griffin’s being a tool to his hand. No, he’d learned more than that. Griffin pretended disinterest, but behind that pretense lay a real concern. He’d fetched Griffin one in the belly when he’d mentioned Purdy's being a prisoner. So thinking, he came abreast of one of the restaurants, and its odors smote him heavily, and he turned inside. He took a table near the window and looked at the pan-cU-scrawled menu without any real interest. He gazed through the grimy glass and for the first time saw Burke Griffin out of his chair. The sheriff was cutting diagonally across the street, waddling swiftly toward the hospital; he disappeared inside. Ruxton’s interest sharpened. In a few minutes Griffin reappeared at the hospital door, an old w«m a n on crutches following him. The old woman qtood talking to Griffin; the sheriff looked up and down the street, bis round face perturbed. A girl Came to Ruxton’s elbow to take his order. He gave ft tn an impatient voice, still watching through the window. Griffin waddlsfl back toward the lafl bulldlnr

the courts since World War 11, contacted U. S. Ambassador Bliss Lane in December, 1945, on orders of the Vatican. Later, the news agency said, the bishop and his aides associated themselves with “other American agents in Poland." The Polish government accused Kaczmarek of agreeing with Lane during a meeting the following months to cooperate in “hostile activity” directed by the United States against Poland. The 58-year-old -bishop was accused also of using his pulpit to influence the education of the nation’s youth “in a spirit hostile to peoples* Poland.” Lester W. Merica Dies At Columbus (Lester W. Merica, 60, native of Monroeville, died Saturday at Columbus, 0., where he had resided many years. He was a retired chief of police at Columbus. Surviving are his wife, Effie; a daughter, Marjorie, of Philadelphia; four brothers, Ernest Merica of Decatur, Roy of Fort Wayne, Clifford in Michigan and Walter in California, and two sisters, Mrs. Blanche Bpringer of Kalamazoo, Mich., and Mrs. Amy E.

and thus moved out of Ruxtoni sight. The old woman still stood in the doorway of the hospital She, too, was peering frantically along the street. Presently Dr. 1 Brownlee showed, moving along the boardwalk, a pertly, grayhaired man with dignity. The eld woman hobbled out on her crutchea to meet Un*; Ruxton watched her jabbering and gesticulating in the direction of the jail. Now Brownlee reached and patted the old woman’s shoulder reassuringly, though Brownlee had himself become agitated, ft Ruxton were any judge. Brownlee stepped off the boardwalk and cut across the street, passing from Ruxton’s vision. Instinct told him that Brownlee —Torgin—Griffin—Purdy were all linked together. Now there was another with whom he must bargain, and so he must hit tpe saddle again. • he To Cola Manning, dropping down the canyon trail to Slash T tn, that same late afternoon, there had come the sense M loneMness from having left Laura behind; but he also knew a sharp wariness. He supposed this came in part from fears for turn. Moreover, he’d cut out a sizable chunk of work for himself, what with Gal down below, and torgln, too, neither of them any more eager to see him than they’d be to find a cactus in their boot.

Labor Worried Over Slate Legislatures Fear Enactment Os AativLabor Measures WASHINGTON, UP—Organised labor is beginning to vorry about what state legislatures may do in what Is regarded by the leaders as the field of anti-union legislation. The CIQ News fingered the cause of anxiety in a summary of a report qq control of state legislatures. CIO researchers reported that the shift of population to the cities had helped create a situation in which pne farmer’s vote In some states was worth 300 city votes. That is true in California and Connecticut, according to the CIO. The report estimated that 64 percent of the nation’s population in urban areas elected 35 percent of the membership of state legislatures. The 36 percent of rural voters elected the remaining three fourths of state representatives and senators. “ ‘No taxation without representation’ is an old fighting phrase for Americans,*’ the CIO News said in presenting these figures. “But millions of us are getting plenty of taxation with very little representation and not much in the way of legislation we want." The CIO waa thinking less of actual taxation, however, than of legislation restricting or defining the limits within which unions must conduct their business with members and with employers. A good example is the union shop. There is a trend among the states to outlaw the union shop. Federal action to forbid enactment of such state legislation was among the 19 Taft-Hartley act amendments which former- secretary of labor Martin P. Durkin wanted President Eisenhower to support.?. Mr. Eisenhower’s refusal to buy Durkin’s package led, to his resignation as labor secretary last week. "The worst shame of the states," the report said, “is the refusal of legislatures to reapportion seats according to population changes even when the state constitution requires that they do so." Union leaders evidently feel that the political power of farmers is a serious challenge. The goal of a great merger of farm and labor interests into a major political party which looked good to union strategists during some of the prewar years appears to have lost Rs »hlhA \

Truman Snorts At G. 0. P. Complaint Republicans Fear Democratic Digest CHICAGO UP — Former President Harry S. Truman snorted “Tell them to go to hell” when asked to comment on a Republican complaint that the Democratic; Digest should not be circulated Overseas. t . Other 2 Democratic leaders Sunday scoffed at the GOP plea in milder terms. Clayton Fritchey. editor of the Digest, said wryly “Well, they can always burn them,” an apparent reference to charges that the GOP administration ordered books burned* in overseas libraries. Republican national chairman Leonard W. Hall riled the Democrats gathered here for a two-day tolly by accusing the Democrats of “promoting distrust” of the U. S. abroad by distributing the Digest in foreign countries. In an “open letter” to defeated 1552 presidential candidate Adiai E. Stevenson, Hall asked the former Illinois governor if he thinks Democrats “are serving the cause or America by peddling undermining attaclfe off through European and Canadian distribution” of the magazine. Mr. Truman was* asked if he could be quoted on his “go to hell’ comment and replied, “Yes, sir.” In Mr. Truman’s company were Stevenson and national chairman Stephen A. Mitchell, who remarked "They really must be hurting” to want the magazine withdrawn from overseas circulation. Stevenson said he “hadn’t heard the Democratic Digest bad such influence.” ■ \ Hall said in his letter that the magazine has been “mainly devoted to attacks ou President Eisenhower, the Elsenhower administration, the 83rd congress and all their works and policies.” lOTICE OF FIXAL SETTLEMENT KFTATE NOics is hereby given to to* creditors be|rs and legatee* Os Jacob Haggard, deceased to Br In the Adams Circuit Court, 1 wt Decatur.

Pennsylvania Girl Named Miss America Sorority Girl Is Winner Os Contest NEW YORK UP — A Pennsylvania sorority girl goes shopping today for the wardrobe she Will wear in and out of spotlights across the nation as the new “Miss America.” Evelyn Margaret Ay of Ephrata, Pa., who won the coveted title at Atlantic City, N. J., Saturday night, found that the first thing Miss America needs is clothes. She will be seen in neatly every state in the union and will travel to Europe during her 13-monch reign. Miss Ay (it rhymes with say) defeated 52 girls for the crown of Miss America and the 150,000 in prizes that goes with it She said she was surprised she won, because the judges could see plainly that she bulges in some of the wrong places. ” I When she visits Manhattan’s leading dress shops this week for fittings, the tape measures will record a 37 inch but, 24 inch waist and 36 inch hips. This is far from the usual beauty queen standards, which call for hipe and bust of the same size and a waist IP Inches smaller. , v Rut Mtea Ay. Who i*,2o, a blonde and stands five feet eight inches, said she had an incurable appetite for pork chops and sauerkraut and her figure is the result. She tried dieting once but gave it up. The new Miss America will cross the country seven or eight times in the coming year and make about 300 personal appearances. Her prizes included a >5,000 scholarship and she will resume her studies at the University of Pennsylvania when she yields her crown a year from now. After her visit to New York, Miss Ay will go home to Epharata and a rousing reception from proud townspeople. They began giving her beauty prizes three years ago. In 1950 she was queen of the Epharata fair and tobacco queen of Lancaster county. Last year she was named “Miss Pennsylvania
