It you want to keep even on your sleeping hours, turn in an hour earlier tonight, for tomorrow night will be one hour short. 0 o_ — A newspaper headline read: "Unlikely Yanks Will Be Sent To IndoChina." That about eliminates any hope anyone might have held for a new pennant winner in the American League. 0 0 From their utterances and general make-up, it appears that Sen. McCarthy and Struve Hensel, assistant secretary of defense, should settle the army scrap between themselves. 0 0 An estimate on preparing the whole country against H-bomb attack soars to three-hundred billion dollars, whatever such an amount might mean. After the money was spent, then someone would invent an I-bomb. —4« o►— Railroad crossings in the city will be repaired this spring and the approaches graded with the street. Motorists will appreciate the improvements, although a smooth railway crossing tempts many to span the tracks in high speed. —0 0 ' Although the Army-McCarthy televised hearing was one of the biggesF ever produced in Washington, it did not attract as much interest as the Kefauver hearings in 1952. Tavern owners say that few asked to have the TVs turned on during the broadcast 0 -o J. Parnell Thomas, former New Jersey congressman, was slapped down in his bid to return to congress. He was drtaWliddtd for the Republican nomination from his district Convicted as a chisler. there was no good reason why he should be put on the track back to Washington. —_o Voting |n Belgium is compulsory unless a good excuse can be furnished by the absentee. To encourage all citizens to vote in important elections, the little kingdom will pay traveling expenses of all voters away from home. This may not be too costly to the government, since Belgium occupies only 11,000 square miles, an area about the size of Vermont. But just think what a vacation plan a gimilar arrangement would provide in the United States. There sure would be a lot of cross-couhtry traveling around election time, and a lot of political deals hatched in getting free transportation. __ *

Bloodletting Returns t<? Use

By HERMAN R BUNDESEN, M.D. IN George Washtagtons day, bloodletting on a wholesale scale was the treatment used for any ailment For the seriously ill patient, physicians removed a pint or sometimes as much as a tew quarts of blood. Since that time, however, bloodletting has fallen into disrepute, mainly because of Its misuse. Doctors are just now returning to the use of this technique for a certain few diseases. Advantages of Bloodletting When a patient suffers from heart failure, the blood Is dammed back because the heart is not working properly, and the heart has difficulty to pushing this large amount of blood around the body. Congestive heart failure can be greatly helped by the removal of a pint to a quart of Blood. The effect of this bloodletting may be almost miraculous in certain cases of heart failure. " This procedure Is also very helpful for those who suffer from certain types of blood diseases. in polycythemia, for example, there is an overproduction of red blood cells. Although toe little blood can be dangerous, too much blood or too many red blood cells can bring danger by too heavy a burden on the heart. Bloodletting

Few spy stories of fiction have been more thrilling than the experiences of Mrs. Viadmir Petrov, who was freed from Russian agents by the intervention of the Australian government. A short time ago her husband, a Russian diplomat, fled his post and delivered information about a spy ring to Australian officials. His wife issued a statement saying that he had been kidnapped, a statement many believed she had been forced to make. The Reds decided to return her to Moscow, She was dragged aboard a plane and Was heard to cry out for help. When the plane landed in another part of Australia police officials disarmed her guards and set her free. She chose to remain in Australia as a refugee. The whole affair may be a Red trick, but so far the story has a happy ending. 0 0 Ge# Report Tonight:— I ne report on tne survey or me Decatur school system should be highly interesting and informative to every local citizen, taxpayer and school patron. Dealing with existing buildings and facilities of the schools, the report of the educators and consultants from the department of education at Indiana University, will also view the city’s obligation and potential requirements of a school plant for the future. These pertinent facts and recommendations obtained from a city-wide survey by the trained school administrators and experts in evaluating community assets, will be revealed in a town-hall meeting at the high school this evening. School administration and operation will be another phase covered in the reports. Recognizing the growth in Decatur’s population and the heavy enrollment in kindergarten and the first grades of the public schools, what will the experts recomipend as feasible in meeting this responsibility to the children? Will they recommend a new building? Win they recommend more than one building? Will they recommend sites for buildings ? If additional buildings ire required, will an estimate of the cost be given ? Will a financing plan for building construction be recommended? Questions similar to the enteryour thinking when you discuss school problems. The answers will be given by the educational directors at tonight’s public meeting. ~

for a disease of this type can be quite beneficial Use of Phosphorus Recently, radioactive phosphorus was found to be very effective in treating this disease. However, when a patient is seriously ill with a sudden attack of polycythemia, bloodletting may bo an excellent treatment. A certain type of rare diabetes, In which there is bronze coloring of the skin as well as hardening of the liver, may also be helped by bloodletting. Thus, bloodletting is again of value in treating certain specific illnesses. QUESTION AND ANSWER Mrs. V. C.: 1 am a 26-year-old woman and have been quite bald on both the head and eyebrows for about four years. I have been pregnant and each time during pregnancy there has been a regrowth of hair. What causes this baldness? Answer: From your description, it is possible that you are suffering from a type of baldness known as, alopecia areata. It is believed that some form of hormone abnormality is at fault i Usually this type of baldness may disappear by itself after a ; number of years. However, re-, , currences of the baldness are :’ frequently observed.

If an engagement has already been announced in the newspapers and it Is then broken, would it be all right to make this second announcement in the papers? A. It could probably be done, but most people prefer to avoid any publicity in a matter of this kind. Q. If a woman acquaintance speaks of her husband (whom you do not know) as “Tom”, should you refer to him also as ‘'Tom"? A. No; you should refer to him as “Mr. Nelson," or, "your husband." Q. Is It proper for a woman to take some handwork, such as knitting or crocheting, with her when visiting a couple for an evening of conversation? * — A. This is all right if she can work without losing the thread of the conversation. Attendance Record MORGANTOWN. N. C., UP — Illness forced Arthur M. Ingold to miss the annual stockholders meeting of the First National Bank here for the first time in 56 years.

SYNOPSIS Dwrotte the pinch of poverty, Gale Taoer tried to keep up with her Bhe old family traditions, tnaintainlnf the horse-breeding farm in Tennessee which had come to her upon her husband’s death. But it was a non-profit venture, she found, one which steeped her In ever mounting debt. She could easily have solved her financial problem by accepting wealthy Sewell Albright s oft-repeated offer of marriage, but Gale Taber loved only het two daughters, now of marriageable age. She had hoped that John-Mark Williamson. » substantial young farmer, might one day marry her dynamic daughter. Ravel, but to her dismay she learned that John-Mark wanted to wed her quiet daughter, Julia, • student nurse at their local hospital. CHAPTER EIGHT PETE MARSHALL had a night off and did not know what to do with it. For two weeks, ever since the rainy night when he had visited the Taber farm, he had been irritated by a curious restlessness. Now, tor no reason, be was made uneasy by seeing Julia Taber going quietly and efficiently about ner work m the hospital, because seeing ner made him remember her vivid sister whom he had no wish io remember. Now, as ne walked the street alone, determined not to admit to himself that loneliness existed, ne shrugged it oft and deeided that what he actually needed was a tot of very black coffee and a large wedge ot apple pie. There were two restaurants in the block, one white-Uled, steamy as to windows. The other nad a secret-looking entrance door ot black glass with an enormous copper handle. Dim orange light came wanly through a panel oi glass bricks. There was even a uniformed doorman, who stood inside out ot me cold, keeping ward with the studiedly atmospheric assistance at a velvet rope. From a niche a girl’s white arm beckoned and Pete surrendered his topcoat and old brown nat. "One, anywhere, just so tt’s not on the lee side ot a tenor saxophone,", Pete told the tuxedoed figure that appeared out ot the smoky shadow. « He glared at the huge bill oi fare the waiter unfolded before him. "How’s the apple pie?” he asked curtly, while the waiter twitched with embarrassment. "All our pastries are prepared by experts, doctor,’’ parroted the man. Then he leaned closer, held cut bis wrist. "Look, doctor," be whispered, "where you sewed it up. Hardly shows al aIL" Pete grinned up at him. "Yes, I remember you now. Chef on a rampage got a Cher you with a cleaver." "A knife. He keeps 'em like razors. Fbe, sirT Yez, sir. With cheese? Neuchatel? Camembert?” “No cheese. Coffee. Lots df coffee. Hot." The orchestra began playing then, a gliding sort of tune that made Pete's irritation return tike an itch in a new spot. He watched the diners as they rose to dance, packing the small, polished space so that they moved as a group, as

o Household Scrapbook BY ROBERTA LEE The Bath Tub The bath tub and wash bowl can be cleaned of stains by using kerosene, but this sometimes leaves a disagreeable odor. An ideal cleanser is the half of a lemon rind. Flies Flies will not bother the gilt frames if four or five onions are boiled in one point of water and applied to the frames or other articles with a swab or soft brush. Snails If salt is sprinkled around the haunts of snails, they will soon disappear. If you have something to sell or rooms for rent, try a Democra’ Want Add. It brings results.

a herd, or not at all. Three tables away, just sitting down, twitching a brown velvet skirt neatly under her, was Ravel Taber. She had seen him. She was with a gray-haired, amiable-look-ing man with lazy eyes and a small, neat moustache. Ravel naif got out of her chair. She said something to her companion, stood up and came to Pete's table. He got up quickly. "Come along over," she ordered. "It’s just Sewell over there. Good old Sewell, who d like to. marry my mother, but she won’t have turn, so he’s half-persuaded that I might make a fair substitute. App|p pie. Men never nave any imagination, do they? Or is it that you are all cowards when it comes to trying new things? You dance with me." *T can’t dance. Years since 1 tried it," protested Pete. “You could stop scowling at me, anj’way. Bring along your pie. I’ll carry your cup. All right, waiter, I’m kidnaping the doctor. I might be seized witn a sudden pam. Oh, Sewell this is Dr. Marshall, Dooley's gloomy triend. Sewell Albright, doctor." Sewell Aibnght said: “How are you, doctor? 1 oougnt Ravel cocktails. Corrupting tne young. Num sne wants to dance my nead off. Realize now wrong 1 was. Dance with ner, doctor.” "Sorry. 1 haven’t been on a dance floor since before the war.” "Take ner out there and wear her down, anyway. Then I’ll take her home, ft's a long way out to that norse farm.'* “It’s early," argued Ravel, getting up and reaching for Petes hand. "We ll just walk around and you can glare over my head at all the detestable people. You nave such a oeautiiui, finished glare.” "Hey!" protested Pete, leading her awkwardly through the maze of tables. "You don’t nave to make me sound like a misanthrope." “But you are, you know." She was blithe. “You disdain the entire human race. 1 admired yon, doing it. I'm not a romantic like Dooley.” * “Is she romantic ?” "Oh, Dooley—" Ravel laughed—"J think afie wants to be m love.” “And you don’t, oi course?" She shook ner nead. She had on some kind oi tiny brown nat with a bright ornament over one eye. "No, I don't Love makes you vulnerable. You dor’t belong to yourself, you’ve sold out to a dizzy dream. You're not in control any more. 1 mean-to run my life to please myself.” "Don't tell me you wouldn’t be pleased to discover that some man was desperately tn love with you? You like triumph and conquest It shows on you. It was plain when 1 saw you on that brown horse. You were soaking wet but you were gloating because you were making the brute obey you, just as you're gloating now.” She stopped still and fixed the cool insolence ot her eyes on tus face. "Over you? You are a rank egotist, aren’t you, Peter, me lad? You love you like everything.”—-

Court News Motion to Dismiss Glenn Baumgartner and Florence Baumgartner have filed a motion to dismiss their complaint for damages against Motor Cargo Inc. and Ralph Raymond White. A third defendant. Aaron Schwartz, is still involved. The court has approved the motion and rules that the comptaiat W dUmlssed with costs assessed against the plaintiff. . Improper Appeal IZZ The ?tate of Indiana has filed a motion to dismiss the appeal of Albert J. Davidson, who was convicted in mayor’s court of driving under the influence of liquor and reckless driving.

He jerked in the corners of his moutn. "Not over me. Over that old chap with the congested look around ms eyes. Incidentally, my name isn’t Peter. They nung Pete on me in the navy. It does gery well, ’&>*Tve kept it.’’ He led her back to the table where Sewell Albright slumped, nail asieep. Pete said: ’Take her home, Mr. Albright. 1 have to shove off. Nice meeting you, sir. Good-night.” He left Ravel glaring at him, and before he was out of earsnot he heard them arguing about leaving and wno was to drive the car. The night was growing murky outside, a November tog twisting against the street lights, obscuring them to yellow olurs. There was a raw chill in the air as Pete strode along, making his mind a blank, shutting Ravel Taber out oi it without judgment, but also without leniency. She had been like a beginning virus in ms blood and ne could inoculate himself against any such intruding poison witn work. Hard work would leave no mental crannies to be infested wilu lolly, witn naunting wraiths, with coui blue eyes and a swirl of tawny no»r. tie told nimselt comiortu.giy mat ne nad been stirred oy a meie surface emotion as shal,uw as sunset on a flat pool.

The orderly nad to shake nim hard. "Emergency, doctor! Dr. Baird says please take over till he gets here.” Pete nad trouble coming alive. He sat on the edge ot Uie bed, muttering sleepily. "Another tool busted up in some tool wreck!" "Yes, sir. Oldish guy. Leg. Conscious. Asked tor Dr. Baird. 1 called him. Miss Moore's down there.” Delia. Grim Delia would do everything rignL Pete tumbled tor ms clothes. The white glare oi the emergency lights hit tus eyebails like a blow. It was a minute oefore ne could get tus gaze clear No blood, but the draining gray ot pain and shock on the full race with the wisp oi a moustache. Pete glared at the patient. "So you did let her drive?" he accused Sewmi Albright. "I suppose you let ner drink, too?" “No—no." It was a whisper. Faint, exhausted. "No—my fault The fog. It’s my hip, doctor.” '‘Where is she?” "State patrol. Took her home. She wasn’t hurt. Just shaken up, scared." * Pete turned to Delia Moore. “Get Taber." Delia twitched one corner of her mouth. "Miss Tabqr went out, doctor. Her evening off. Some young man called tor her.” So she went out With a man! "All right! All right!" He heard himself shouting and lowered nis voice with an effort "Get him ready for the X-ray room.” _ (To Be ContinucdJ
