The rush of candidate filing is over and now the candidates will have to rush around in search of votes. 0 o_ — If your registration card needs correction, tiling or transferred to a new precinct, you have until April 5 to have the jecord changed at the county clerk's office. 0 0 Democrats in the senate and house are voting tax reductions for the people. The most recent Incident is the senate vote to cut excise taxes on home appliances. Voting for the additional one hundred million dollar saving were 35 Democrats and 28 Republicans.

Harding when he was a presidential candidate in 1920. Being on the outside looking In, he undoubtedly believed it, and just as certainly learned better later. As President he found that he had to keep abreast of a multitude of widely differing problems, in many of which he had to" get cooperation fw>m congress. .The task, he frankly admitted, was too much for him. ■ -i—-i;®— —— The real war, say scientists, is not between the free world and the Reds, but between man and the insects. Unless we do com stant battle, we shall eventually be exterminiated by tiny pests who consume our food, both in the fields and in storage, and afflict us with deadly diseases. Our chief foes are the Japanese beetle, the corn borer and the white-fringed beetle. Mosquitos are still formidable, though in most areas they are under control. Victory in this war cannot be partial, or all the ground will eventually be lost. It must be complete, and waged without ceasing, a government bulletin advises. '

Cleaning Public's 3-D Glasses

Ey HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. ONE of the problems faced by theater owners with the introduction of three-dimensional films has been the shortage of the polarizing spectacles which must be worn in order to view these movies properly. It has been estimated that a single 3-D film will be seen by approximately thirty million people in the United States alone. Each of these people must be provided with a pair of viewers. Since the cost of the proper type of -glasses is relatively high, sqme theaters have collected them from the patrons as they leave the theater and re-issue them to new arrivals, without proper sterilization, not being aware of the possible danger. Danger of Infection This is basically not a sanitary procedure because certain Infections of the skin, scalp, and eyes can be transmitted from oneperson to another by the re-use of these glasses. For* this reason, local health departments and health officers have set up regulations to protect the public from possible infection with the .*:arty co-operation of- the theater owners. Generally theaters now realize that these glasses should net be re-used, from a public health standpoint, unless they have been properly put through solutions

Sen. McCarthy seems to be attack from all sides, which places his name in about every news story originating in Washington and in other cities across the country. In his home state of Wisconsin, the editor of a weekly newspaper started a McCarthy recall movement, but it is doubtful if the state laws apply to federal office holders. While official Washington directs its barbs at McCarthy, the most controversial man in the country continues his driving campaigns against those with whom he does not agree. Possibly a holiday should be declared by government leaders in their zest to “shut up” the man who is causing them so much trouble. 0 0 Waiter Howey, who died recently was a fantastic character in an era in American journalism when fantastic characters were so common they scarcely attracted attention. He had a long career which extended back to 1903 when he served a brief apprenticeship on a Chicago newspaper. He became a city editor, an exposer of .graft and corruption, a managing editor of the New York Daily News. Howey was more than a sensationalist, however, He is credited with publishing the first veterans’ column In any newspaper, the first medical column and other columns. He also played a big part in developing — devices tor transmitting pictures by the use of a sound-photo system. He will have a place in newspaper history. —-0 o—— Junk jartie (J--eJ-a.ce neighbor-, hoods and lessen property values, because home owners do not want to be located near the unsightly ; pbicoa of himtnaes While it. is . admitted that the junk business is a legitimate trade, location ot the yards heaped with old auto bodies and other metal material should be beyond residential districts. The city board of zoning appeals has ordered removal of a junk yard in the* south part of town and as a matter of civic pride and 0 consideration for home owners’ rights, operators of the business should comply at once with the official order to remove the offensive business. This is the time of year when every community is concerned with clean-up campaigns and one of the most effective strokes in cleaning up unsightly sites is the removal of junkyards.

that kill germs or have prolonged exposure to heat, in order to prevent any possible spread of in- ' section from one person to an- ; other. -■ A Troublesome Problem Sterilizing these glasses still constitutes a difficult problem because fogging of the lenses or : a damage to the sharpness of focus may occur, but progress in the direction is being made Recently, however, sanitization of these glasses was accomplished with dry heat. The results have been excellent with this method. Thus, theater owners are doing the things recommended by public health workers to protect the health of their patrons and they are to be complimented for their alertness and co-opera-tion, in this connection. QUESTION AND ANSWER Mrs. B. E.: My baby’s ears are sticking out terribly and 1 am worried about this. What would ydu advise? Answer: Frequently the use of tape or some other form of tight cap, which produces constant pressure on the ears to make them lie closer to the head, Is sufficient in this disorder. If it persists in later life, plastic surgery is advisable. Operations of this type can now be performed with relative ease. However, they should only be performed if the first method does , not work adequately.

CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN MYRA came back into the room from the hall where the telephone and her record book were on the side table. “You think it might be neighborly, Ike, to run across the street and . » /’she-began* “No!" said Ike, not looking up from the little book in his big hands. "Shelly neither?’* “No!” said Ike again. Myra subsided. “1 should purely like to hear what Dr. Talboy says and does . . “You could go stand under the window,” sale’ Ikesarcastically. “Beats me. You couldnH get out of that house fast enough. Now you want to go back. . . .” “1 admire Dr. Talboy, especially when he’s upset,” said Myra. “I'm glad you didn't warn the man of what he was getting, into,” growled Ike. “Oh, that’s not part of the exchange’s services. But 1 didn't need to, anyway. He'll know five seconds after he gits in there."' “1 see ms car lights . . announced Shelly. Ike gave each young woman a stern look. They laughed, and settled back with their own reading material, It had been decided to level a small, regular charge against the doctors to pay Cor the exchange service. The time would come when Ike's work would move him on. and the girl who would then take over for Myra must be paid. That she was being paid made it difficult for Shelly co persuade Myra to take an evening off now and then. ”1 can do my traipsin in the daytime!” “You don’t traipse with Ike, then,” Shelly pointed out Myra glanced -t the big, blond min. “You nonin to traipse anywhere, honey?” she asked softly. Ike grinned. “One night a week, maybe," he nelped Shelly. “And don't worry about the calls,” Shelly assured the girl. “1 won't get things balled up.” It was from one of the “traipsin' " expeditions that Myra brought back word of seeing Craig with a girt. And such a girl! “I ’bout had to tie my handkerchief over Ike’s eyes,” she claimed. “Do you know who she was?" “No. She was quality, 1 think. If not, she's bein' kept right handsome.” " Shelly frowned. "Dark, she was," Myra added. “Hair long to her shoulders, and combed out that pretty way I never could manage. Jest enough curl— She had on a green dress, and if the night hadn’t been warm, she’d been . riskin' pneumonia. It in no way offered protection to that girl’s chest.” Shelly laughed. “She was right pretty,” Myra mused. "Those sort of slinky, dark eyes. She didn’t seem to talk much, but her sort doh't need to.”

Shelly frowned. Eleanor? Yes. Probably. And in a day or two, she herself saw Craig and Eleanor together. In his car .. . Well, if he couldn't do better... What right had Shelly to be jealous? She had her own husband Didn’t she? As far as the office went, he could spare a little time for early summer dalliance. No, it was not her affair. Except . . . In her "organization” of the office, Shelly came up against the truth as forcefully as if she had run, full speed, against a brick wall. Beginning with her firm, unannounced reestablishment of the two waiting rooms, she had gone on to organize the patients who came to sit in those rooms, arranging them according to the claims they had upon the doctor’s time and attention. Again, she was given her plan by one of the many excellent books put out by the various drug com panies. This article bad been titled, "Who Gets to See the Doctor?” Shelly had read it . with interest, and considered it in reference to Stephen’S office and ms patients. Yes, it seemed a good plan, and if Craig did not object . . . He did not On his return to his practice after the accident he seemed a bit —well, not chastened —but he didn’t point out Shelly's inexperience so often, nor talk to her at all about dolls. So she organized his visitors into priority classifications. First came his regular patients with appointments —this would include newcomers to town who might become regular patients. Second, nis regular patients who came to the office without appointments. Third, patients who had been going to other doctors, and how would try Or. Talboy. Emergencies, of course, came in where they occurreo and according to their urgency. Next in line were the "detail” man, the legitimate salesmen of drugs and apparatus, and so on. After them, the salesmen who were not to be classified as legitimate—this covered a varied field, neckties, cigarettes, real estate . . . and last to get in should be such family members and friends as might drop into the office for a visit. Here Shelly took what comfort she could in making Eleanor Walsh wait till the very last. And it was here, too, that she ran into the brick wait Because, one day, there was no one in the left-hand wafting room except Eleanor. The Reverend Prewett had been there earlier; he was going to have to undergo surgery for his ulcer; Craig bad attended to him, and to those patients connected with his plant services, and Shelly could find no reason not to let Eleanor go into the doctor's consultation room.

20 Years Ago Today n - o 'March 26—Russell Clark was sentenced to life imprisonment. Two companions were previously sentenced to death. Joe Brennan announces as a candidate for the Democratic nomination for county clerk. Settlement is made in the automobile strike at the White House. Louis kowland, editor of the Indianapolis News, died today after a few days illness. He was 77 years old. The Rev. J. M. Dawson is conducting Easter meetings at the First Christian church. Mr. I. A. Kalver returns from a week's visit with Mr. and Mrs. Roy Kalver in Chicago. An oil tanker can carry 145,000 -barrels of residual fuel oil, or the equivalent of 36,250 tons of coal.

She could only sit at me receptionist’s desk, smell tobacco smoke, listen to the muted murmur ot voices and the occasional laughter. No excuse to interrupt offered itself. No phone calls, no emergency! no patients arrived. She looked down at the appointment book, turned the pages and sat frowning. What was going on ? She looked out through the window at the rain which fell like dull silver. It, fell In ribbons, and then in chains of little silver beads and small crystal balls. As it hit the grouua, it made a sound like tiny bits of broken glass. Shelly sighed, and leaned her head against her hand. Finally, Eleanor left; Craig escorted her to her car, and then came back to stand looking down at his blonde receptionist. "Something wrong?” he asked. “O1 course not.” She sat quickly erect. He sat down in one of the chairs, bounced it upon its steel frame, and then leaned back. "1 thought maybe you nad a’headache . . .’’ Shelly cleared her throat selfconsciously. “Was Miss Walsh's a professional call?” she asked lyCraig’s black eyes danced. "You know it whs not.’’ “I was hoping it was!" she said tartly. “Why?” "Because—” Her head went up. “Without it, we haven't taken in enough money today to feed Donald.” He shrugged. "Business couldn’t be worse,” he said cheerfully. "1 didn’t realize how much it had fallen off, until today.” He reached for a printed form which lay on her desk. “It sometimes takes a doctor a couple of years to recover from as bad a case of gossip as I had, Shelly.” He spoke calmly, seeming more interested in the paper he held. But Shelly was shocked to her heels. “You don't mean—" He glanced at her. And rubbed ms hand back over his hair. “Sure. Half the town still talks about my being drunk and letting people die. The other half listens. Nobody wants to risk his life in my hands.” She could not speak. She leaned back in her chair and stared, white-faced, at him. “But—” "I know,” he said, quietly. “The truth was established. The truth never makes as good a story to tell and repeat. But gradually it will be told. It will take time, of course.” "And, meanwhile?” His face was stern. “Meanwhile, I’ve lost most of Stephen’s practice!” he said harshly. “Shelly, I’m sorry about that I—if I knew any way to change that!— but even my moving out wouldn’t help that situation. Nothing will help it. Patients don’t come to a doctor they can’t trust" (To Ec Continued J
