Bone Pain That May Be Serious

By HERMAN N. BUNDIS IN, M.O. BODY-BRUISING Sports or actual bone injury from falls or accidents were believed to be the, primary causes of bone cancer. In a few cases, such injuries may be a contributing cause. \ In many instances, however, the growth is not the result of injury. Many cancers will travel from the blood stream to other organs and settle in the bones. Two types of cancer that axe particularly prone to do this are cancer of the, female breasts and cancer of the male prostate. However, tumors that begin In the bone itself are very rare. I Need for Early Detection As is the case with any cancer '* process, the sooner it is detected, the better the chance for cure. cancer of the bone needs rapid ahd early, discovery in order to help the person suffering from this disease. One of the first symptoms Is a recurrent, variable pain which may be intermittent dr steady in the bone. It is very significant if this pain occurs while the person is at rest. When the legs are Involved, the first symptom that may appear, even before the pain, is a limp. Once persistent pain occurs, • significant information can usually be obtained bv the talcing of

tablished with regard to the demands made by certain producers, unmindful of Economy consideration. 0 0 , Twenty-six children have died in abandoned ice boxes this year, a terrible toll to extract in an innocent way of “playing house”. Every community is concerned a-~-bout hazards to children and it’s a wonder that someone hasn’t sponsored a public-square bonfire of the old coolers as a means of y-. getting rid of • the lurking death traps. Such a plan would be more effective than a law regulating the storage of the unused refrigerators. V A 0 0 The country is being treated to a ptrange deal in politics. Gov. • Dewey, political boss of New York state is demanding the ousting of his lieutenant-governor, former senate leader Arthur H. Wieks, who was sworn in following the resignation of the duly elected official. It seems that Wicks “kept bad company” and recently held a secret confab with a notorious crook in Sing Sing. This underworld = contact doesn’t set too good with New Yorkers and Mr. Dewey is ready to figlyt it out with the lieutenant. Already too many scandals beset his admlnis- , (ration and the public is demanding a clean-up in the state house. 0 0 Mayor Thomas Burke of Cleveland will be the new U. S. Senator from Ohio, succeeding the late Sen. Robert Taft. His appointment was made by Gov. Frank J. Lausche, who presumably will run again for the governorship. Mayor Burke, a Democrat, will serve out his fourth term before taking the oath as senator and therefore will not go to Washington until after Nov. 10. He will fill the vacancy until a successor is elected next year and has announced that he will not attempt to disrupt Republican control f > " in the senate. The political line-. Sup in the senate is now 48 DemoScrats and 47 Republicans, and Sen. Morse, who classifies himself a Progressive. Mayor Burke is an outstanding executive, trained in, the law and government. He - is a w’orttfy successor to the honored Sen. Taft. \

an X-ray. It will reveal an early tumor, if one is present. Routine Tests In certain types of bone tumors, a test of the urine of blood done routinely may be the first indication of the presence of a tumor. In taking a chest X-ray, the physician may sometimes spot a growth which can have its origin in the bone. This occurrence is not too infrequent. It is important that any person with persistent bone, joint or muscle pain, occurring even when the involved leg, arm or other part of the body is at rest, should have a complete examination of the bone, especially including an X-ray. Persons must be taught to avoid the lag in time between the first symptoms and consultation with a physician. It is believed that, in this way, many cases of bone tumors could be corrected early, before they reach the stage where medical and surgical care are of no avail. QUESTION AND ANSWER Mr. G. C.: I have heard that the sulfa drugs can affect the reproductive glands of men. Is this true? Answer: No, in fact, the sulfa drugs are helpful in clearing up infections of these glands when they occur in men.

AFL Plans Drive On Dock Workers Executive Council In Special Session WASHINGTON, UP — The AFL executive council was called into special session today to authorize money and organizers for an allout drive against the gangster-rid-den International Longshoremen’s Association. Th*, federation recently expelled the association for failing to stamp out racketeering. It is ndw trying to bring the dockworkers into a new AFL-backed union. A spokesman said the council would be asked at today’s meeting to approve a “sizeable” fund for an intensive organizing drive at East Coast, Gulf and Great Lakes ports. The pressure will be on during the next few months because the national labor- relations board is jdue to hold an election in the New York area to decide which union should represent the longshoremen. The AFL already claims it has won over 30 percent of the association’s members but it will need a majority to win the election. x Sending organizers onto the docks could precipitate further violence in a dispute already pockmarked by skirmishes between longshoremen who remained with the expelled union and those who have moved over to the AFL. The spokesman said the council’s action today was expected to take some of the heat off two AFL unions now heavily engaged in the longshoreman fight — the Teamsters and the Seafarers unions. Both groups have refused to work with the ousted union at' several docks and have helped the AFL to move in and replace loading crews with its own members. He said the council would be asked to decide whether to use some 150 AFL organizers now in the field or to ask the individual AFL unions to supply their own staffs for the waterfront activities. The longshoremen are now at work under an BQ-day Taft-Hartley injunction which was used to halt a strike against the shipping companies last week. While an election is pending, management is prohibited from making a .contract because the ipayority status of a union has not \ been determined.

SYNOPSIS Phil Stanley, popular young socialite bachelor, had fallen in love with Nancy Kelly, his attorney's keen-witted, redhaired secretary. He'd taken her about, introduced ner to his friends, including Linda Van Vliet. a brunette beauty who’d long ago set her cap for Phil. At home tonight, we find Nancy busily typing extra copies of an important, confidential document which will figure in a law suit pending against the Stanley Construction Company, owned by Phil Stanley’s high and mighty kin. On checking her work next morning. Nancy finds one of the copies missing and is gravely alarmed. It could be a dangerous weapon tn the opposition’s hands. Sam Sykes, her brother-in-law. whom she dislikes and distrusts had been in the room with her while she worked and so had Dave Armstrong, a would-be suitor for Miss Kelly's hand. CHAPTER NINE PHIL came back into the outer office. “How would you like to do a' little ice boating this afternoon? At Oconomowoc lake. There’s a good stiff breeze.” . “Ice boating? Me?” **Yes, ice boating. You.” “Why, I haven’t the —the clothes. Besides, I—” “Now, now. My place at the lake is full of togs, women’s togs, men's togs, all kinds of togs. That excuse won't do. Just for a few hours. I must be back by six.” That, noon Lucy Wardle on her why home stopped at the Kelly home to tell Mother Kelly that Nancy had to work all afternoon, that she expected to be home around six. \ Lucy wasn’t much to look at, but she was a kind soul. She worshipped Nancy and would ’ do' anything for her, even tell a little white lie. • • • The thirty miles to Oconomowoc was covered by Phil’s roadster in almost as many minutes despite slippery roads and a stiff northcast wind that whipped ominous leaden clouds across the sky. Phil kept looking at the sky. “There’s snow coming. I hope It lays off until we can get at least one sail around the lake.” Icy particles whirled against the windows of the car. They seemed to protest the snug warmth inside. What pf it? Nancy settled back, determined that for a few hours she would run away from Cass street.. i boiled potatoes and codfish . . . ogre of demanding creditors. For a few hours, until six, she would go flying over the ice in Phil’s boat at sixty miles 'an hour. He had told her the boat, the “Northwind,” could do that with one sail behind its back. Nancy wondered if any one else would be at the lake, at the Stanley lodge. She ventured the question. “Perhaps.” ' -

Phil leaned forward to wind the clock in the dashboard and as ne did his face came close to Nancy’s. She was possessed with the thought that he might try to kiss her. She began musing what she would do if he did try—other men had. Men of his type were used to taking what they wanted. They thought money could buy everything. Oh money, money— She must be on her guard. "A penny for your thoughts, Nancy.” “Oh, I was just thinking of—nothing.” They were driving over a narrow, hilly road, through deep woods now. The spitting ice particles were coming faster. Frozen branches were creaking in protest against increasingly cold wind. The sky was laden with snow-filled clouds. It was eerie in the woods. Nancy ventured the remark that maybe they had better turn back, it was getting dark. > * “You’re not afraid are you?” Nancy WAS afraid, but she wasn’t going to admit it. | . “Afraid with me ? Nothing to be afraid of.” Phil swung the car into a sharp turn. “There’s our place—the boathouse is to the right, under the hill.” Set high over the lake, Nancy beheld for the first time one of the Stanley lake homes. It was a large, rambling house that spelled comfort and easy living despite the forbidding effect of its shuttered windows. ' Phil helped Nancy from the car and dug deep into his pocket for a large, old fashioned key. “Our other place is across the lake. This is just the lodge where we keep the boats and other junk.” “Oh.” He led her through a hallway and into a large, oak-beamed room, one side of it which was occupied* by the largest fireplace Nancy had ever seen. In front of it were great piles of logs, all the paraphernalia for a quick fire. Phil had the fireplace roaring with flames in no time. He told Nancy to stand close to the warmth while he hunted up some things for her to wear boating. He Left the room. How still it was. The chill of the room was beaten back before the roaring fire. Nancy pulled a large chair to the fireplace and curled up. “A place to dream, to live, to—” Phil came back, his arms loaded with sweaters* a fur lined helmet, snow pants, a pair of lady’s buckskin boots. "These ought to do you. You dress and I’ll get the boat ready.”

1 0 0 | Household Scrapbook I ] BY ROBERTA LEE | 1 ° Stuck Stamps If postage stamps nave become stuck together, lay a thin paper over them and ruu a hot iron over them. The mucilage will uot f he hurt. Wall Paper One good way to remove wall paper is to stir a quart of flour paste into a pail of hot water, then apply this mixture to the i paper. Being \thick, it will not dry qulckfly, but will saturate the paper, which can then be scrape! or peeled off. Bread Box To remove the moisture from a bread box, place the electric bread toaster in the box for a fiw minutes and close the cover as far as the electric cord will permit. The heat will absorb every bit of. the moisture and the box will be -thoroughly oried. Kenaf is a fast-growing fiber plant that looks like a hollyhock and is distantly related to cotton and okra. Scientists have established that its fiber ran substitute for just, in sacking, twine, and rope.

In one of the bedrooms, where Phil had logs blazing m another fireplace, Nancy changed clothes. Why was she trembling so? She wasn’t cold now. She tried to stop and sht couldn’t. Over the ice they skimmed at forty, fifty, sixty miles. Nancy had the sensation that the boat was stationary, that it was the hills and trees that were flying past. The wind shrieked like demons. Phil yelled things to her, she could only catch a few words. He pointed to a great patch of open, black water. She thought he said that parts of the lake never froze. She couldn’t hear his words but his lips seemed to say "springs.” He shouted.. "Had enough?” it was almost dark now. She shook her head. This was the thing she had always dreamed of—to fly away on the wings of the wind, away, away—. • • • . Tl.e storm broke with a blinding suddenness. They were making straight for the open water. Phil was helpless before the fury of the wind. He was fighting desperately to control the boat. It swung around on the very brink of the open water and spilled them both onto the ice. Nancy was hurled across the ice. She lay flat on her stomach, choking with snow. She had lost her helmet ' The boat whirled in another blast of wind and slipped into the water, a top sail sticking above the edge of the ragged ice. By the time Nancy and Phil had struggled back to shore, Nancy was so breathless that Phil had to carry her up the hill and into the lodge. He laid her on a lounge in front of the fireplace. The wind sang a demonic symphony. Phil piled on more logs, helped Nancy loosen her boots. “J guess we’re tn for It, wc’U never get out of here tonight.” Nancy jumped to her iteeL “Oh, but we must!” “I tell you we can’t." Nancy rushed to the window, cupped her hands to the cold glass and peered out The driveway was obliterated with drifted snow. Phil casually said it reminded him of the poem, “Snowbound.'* “Remember the line—‘shut in from all the world without’ 7 " “I must telephone my mother.” “You can’t There’s no ’phone connection here in the winter.” Ten words. “You can’t There is no 'phono connection here in winter.” I Phil spoke them with mischief written all over his good looking face.

Pope Pius Dedicates College Building 1 Unprecedented Trip From Summer Home ROME UP — Pope Pius XII, In an unprecedented trip to Rome from his summer residence at Castel Gandolfo, today dedicated the new $4,000,000 Pontifical North American College building. The greatest assemblage of American Catholic clergy here since the war attended the ceremonies, at which the Pontiff spoke in English. Among them were Samuel Cardinal Stritch of Chicago, 111., Ed r ward Cardinal Mooney of Detroit, Mich., Francis Cardinal Spellman of New York, nine archbishops and 23 bishops. Some 1,200 persons attended the two-hour dedication of the six-story building on the slopes of the Janiculum Hill overlooking the Vatican. They included foreign diplomats accredited to the Holy See, members of the Pope’s official Vatican family, American Catholics living in Rome and U. S. (Ambassador Clare Bootbe Luce. The occasion marked the first time Mrs. Luce, a convert to the Roman Catholic faith, has seen the Pope since she took over her post here last April 22. The Pope’s special trip from Castel Gandolfo was his first for such a function in his 14-year reign. Vatican sources said it indicated the tremendous increase in prestige and importance attained by U. S. Catholicism in recent years. The morning ceremony began with the arrival of the Pontiff at the building. He was met at the entrances by Bishop Martin John O’Connor, Scranton. Pa., rector of the college, and attendants of the papal antechamber. In his white robes, the 77-year-old Pope entered the chapel of the college and took his place on the papal throne erected before the altar steps. V ' ’ ' ' Following the apostolic blessing by the Pope, the solemn bendiction of the Most Sacred Sacrament was performed by Msgr 1 . FraAcis P. Keough, archbishop of Baltimore, Md., and primate of the U. S. He was assisted by Msgr. F. Joseph Manns, Baltimore, and Msgr. Walter J. Leach,‘Boston, Mass. The North American College was founded in 1859. It has produced more than 1,000 priests, of whom more than 50 have become bishops, archbishops or cardinals.
