Speaker Joe Martin predicts that the bill will come up for a vote in March. It should be approved so the United States can join Canada in constructing this needed passage way to the sea. It is up to President Eisenhower to say if Indiana will get two more federal judges. The house and senate have recommended appointment of judges in the north and south districts of the state. Additional judges may be needed, but on the surface it does not appear that the federal courts are overcrowded with work. _ •■0 0 - The Indiana highway commission has advanced 3250,000 to the Toll Road Commission for preliminary study of a proposed turnpike from the Lake Michigan area south through the state to New Albany. The road would be a link of a super-highway to Florida and Gov. Craig will accompany the toll road officials on an inspection trip along the southern route next month. As traffic increases. Indiana will need the new toll road. - o—o ' The state of Indiana is collecting too much in taxes. The last qtuurter of 1953, taxes and tees amounted to more than 43 million dollars. The state's surplus of funds will total more than 82 million and the average taxpayer wonders why he has to keep on paying the high gross income rates. It is admitted that government needs money to operate and has the right to tax, but it is unfair to collect more than is needed. A special session of the legislature might be called to consider this problem, in addition to appropriating 15 million dollars for a new state office building. 0 o—_ The navy has awarded a contract for a third super-carrier of the Forrestal class, costing 117 million dollars, plus about 70 millions for guns, ordnance and rad-

Accidents to Aged Increase

By IffRMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.B. ACCIDENTAL Injury has joined heart disease and cancer as a major threat to the life of the aged. Sixty-five and Over Out of about the one hundred thousand deaths from accidents that occur in the United States every year, almost twenty-five thousand occur among people of aixty-five and over. They are onefourth of the fatal victims of accidental injuries, although they comprise only eight per cent of the total population. It is believed that weakness of the body, impaired movement, forgetfulness, and poor vision make the aged particularly prone to such mishaps. Moreover, when these people are Involved in sccl- ’ dents, the results are more likely to be serious to them. Bones Break Easily Aged bones break more easily and do not heal as readily as in younger persons. Burns, cuts, and other types of injury may sometimes not heal well in elderly persons. Also, when an adult is confined to bed for a prolonged period of time, he has. a greater tendency to develop some severe

far equipment. These new carriers also, require new destroyers, for the older type do not have the ! speed to keep up with the more modern flattops. The navy recently announced that many ships of the fleet. Including the big battleships, Missouri and Wisconsin, would be placed in mothballs. These ships are floating arsenals, but more speedier vessels are being produced and to a great extent the older ships can be used only for bombing raids. Destroyers are used as escorts for the huge carriers and their speed must be faster than the ship they protect. And so it runs in the armament race. .Z__===-0 -0 A law-medicine center, said tobe the first es its kind in this country, has been established on the campus of Western Reserve University, in Ohio. In the words of its president the center is '‘dedicated to the better use of medical science to the administration of justice, both civil and criminal.” The objectives are to instruct law students and law enforcement officers in how to use medical and scientific evidence and to instruct medical students, doctors and scientists in how to assemble, preserve and interpret evidence. Another of its purposes is to study and report ?on crime, its causes, detection, punishment and prevention. It is encouraging to see a great university turn its attention to making this new knowledge available to those whose business it is to protect the community. ——o—9 The newest elections to the Baseball Hall of Fame prove in part that the sports writers who make the choices have their human weaknesses. They tend to vote tor picturesque personalities who in their day made good copy and wore competent though short of absolute stardom. Such an instance is the choice of Rabbit Maranville, a salty character whose chief fame came from his membership in the 1914 3'Boston Braves. Maranville was a live wire, a good shortstop but a weak hitter, his record shows. He played 21 years to the big leagues, yet could not be called a star. The other two players honored, Bill Dickey and Bill Terry, deserve election without the slightest doubt. They are the sort of players for whom the Hall of Fame was established.

complication, such as pneumonia or blood clots. In Motor Accidents There are many, many motor accidents that Involve the elderly, perhaps because they have greater dtfificulty in coping with modem traffic conditions. Particular care should be taken by the aged in walking downstairs. Many times, elderly persons sustain injuries by simply tripping. Even a small fall can occasionally cause severe damage to fragile bones. Easily Controlled Cause Accidents can be more easily controlled than any of the other causes of death among the aged. The mature individual should learn to adjust his habits in accordance with his health, and should try to keep his environment and activities free from tasks that might cause Injury. QUESTION AND ANSWER J. T.: How can a person use dry ice to remove a wart on the sole ot the foot? Answer: This treatment, although it helps in many cases of plantar warts, should only be carried out by a physician.

What can a bridesmaid do when she' has been asked Uy the bride to wear (and pay for) a dress whose style and color are definitely unbecoming to her? A. This is not an unusual situation. There to nothing the bridesmaid can do about it, except to have it dyed and maybe remodeled later. If she has consented to serve as bridesmaid, she must accede to the bride’s wishes. Q. If you have sent a Christmas to someone and received no acknowledgment after a reasonable length of time, is it all right to ask this person if he received it? A. Yes, as the gift may have gone astray. And if it happens that the person did receive it, maybe your question will remind him of his extreme rudeness. Q. Should one write letters or notes to announce the birth of a baby? A. This is usually done by means of cards. More than 70 percent of the forest fires in the Rocky Mountain region are started by lightning.

"A very beautiful head." Phil murmured.

“It’s not the major instinct," Phil said, his brow darkening. "Yea, Pm sure.” “And bow will you enjoy living with the memories of a once-mar-ried girl?" Phil's grin came suddenly. “Don't underrate me, knucklehead! I’ll break the mystic band of memories.” “ Tut, tut, child, said the Duchesa,*" Don murmured. “I can pick a phrase trona Alice, too . . . Frankly, Phil. I’d rather see you married to a girl whose affections were intact.” •That's the girl you will.see me married to." Phil stood up with characteristic abruptness. “1 just wanted to make sure you and I weren't going to come to blows. 1 wouldn't relish walking over you to get to Dale.” , When Dale left Don at the door and went tn, Andrea Parrish was at the piano. Her hands were idle on the keyboard. The light cast a nimbus around her fair head. Looking at ner from the doorway. Dale thought. She looks so young to be what she is. So fragile. A world-famous pianist surely should carry some marks of the long fight up, the arduous years of toil. * “Hello, there!” Dale went into the room and tossed her hat on the couch. "You look tired.” For when Andrea turned around, there were the marks: fatigue, bending her shoulders, shadowing her eyes. “I’m dead.” Andrea took the hard rubber practice ball out of her pocket, squeezed it once absently; replaced it tnner pocket. "On a hot day like this, 1 wonder it it's worth it. Work, work, work. If ! stop for a day. 1 lose ground. Two days, and it takes me three to catch up. Tm on a treadmill.” She crashed her hands down in a discord. ’This keyboard Is the master of my soul!” Dale laughed. "When Carnegie Hall rocks with applause next week, you’U think It’s worth it,” she said smoothly. “Yes, of course." But Andrea sighed. She turned firily around, facing Dale, her hair falling forward over her cheeks. “Be really honest with me, will you? Am I giving up too much by renouncing marriage ?” “Out of a clear sky," Dale murmured. But Andrea’s was no mood for banter. “Must you?" she asked soberly. Andrea nodded. Pm a musician first, a woman second. And what man would be reconciled to that? 1 can’t change myself, Dale. It's too late, even if I wanted to. For one thing, I like what 1 am. But the man 1 married would have to live my life, trail me trom continent to continent, from concert hall to concert nail." “A prince consort,” said Dale. "Something more menial, carrying my music portfolio and warding oft annoyances. Fading to • pale shadow of bis own identity. It would be a strain on the masto

Tell me, shall 1 regret it!" Dale twisted Kelly's ring on her finger. "I wouldn't trade one day I had with Kelly tor all your years ot triumphs, Andrea.” Renouncing Dale's conviction, Andrea stood up. “Oh. you sound like a woman! Only someone as dedicated as 1 could possibly see my side —” “Your brother Don," Dale suggested. “Why don't you have a heart-to-heart talk with trim?” A’ wry smile curved Andrea's mouth. "1 wonder if As knows what he’s giving up?” she murmured. • • • A!) music, someone has said, is what awakes trom you when you are reminded by the instruments. At Andrea Parrish’s concert, Dale responded ardently to memories, and no stone or reality clogged the stream of her delight By coincidence, Andrea was wearing a yellow gown with parma violets —the colors she had worn three years ago at the Chicago concert It was not of course, the same gown. This, a Maggie Rouff original, nad been flown from Paris a week ago; but the gown, the violets, and the music carried Dale back vividly to another time, another man beside her. The man whose dark-clad shoulder brushed her bare one was Kelly. The subdued voice before the Chopin Fantaste to F Minor murmuring, “Watch for her thunderous climaxes to this!” was Xelly's voiee —until Dele turned to share her delight with him, and saw the fair bright hair and the astonishingly dark eyes. The illusion faded. With the abruptness and finality of a dream, it was gone. This was Phil, not Kelly. Afterwards they went to a small restaurant on Seventh Avenue where Andrea was to meet them. "A small supper celebration," she had stipulated. “Just the five ot us." Don fidgeted as they sat waiting for Andrea to come. “Sit still," Aggie ordered. Phil grinned at his aunt. "Music softens rocks and bends oaks, but it seems to have a less soothing effect on scientists than on savages I” “Even so," Aggie said sternly to Don, "you are not to spoil Andrea’s evening. She let you talk your head off last night about that conference thing.” (To Be Continued/
