High Blood Pressure Due to Kidney Infection

y HERMAN N. BUNDESEN.’M.O. In certain cases of high blood iressure, the cause cannot be identified. However, when It occurs in a woman over the age of thirty-five, it may be due to a •hronle or prolonged infection of the kidney. A woman’s kidneys Are more lusceptible to infection than a man’s, due to the difference in the body organs. In fact, these Infections sometimes have their origin in early life, dating back - to babyhood. , It is often difficult to diagnose hypertension that occurs because of * kidney disease. Unexplained fever and chills are often symptomatic of IL There may be sec- , ondary damage of the kidneys due to the hypertension. Even If the kidney condition is nre««”re

Dr. Hellerstein of Western Reserve University says that the victims of a first attack have a 90 per cent chance of recovery, and that as sOon as the crisis is - - ■■ 5 over, the patient should think of returning to his job. Not that he can do it right away, but the idea will help his recovery. The doctor said that of s£> heart cases studied at his clinic, 80 per cent have gone back to work. •a 0 0 One of President Eisenhower’s recommendations was turned down by Congress. He suggested the passage of a constitutional amendment legalizing voting at 18. This is already the rule in Georgia, but other states have failed to follow suit. The presii dent’s plan has. however, spurred | action in an unexpected quarter. The Guam territorial legislature has unanimously lowered the voting age to 18. Many of the men serving in the armed forces on Guam have not reached the ref quired 21-year voting age. I Precious Water:— - Some of the comforts of modern living have become so cheap and #o commonplace that we take them for granted—that is we take them for granted until they are no longer available. Every summer cities and towns across the , United States experience water shortages. These shortages vary in seriousness. Sometimes they merely mean that bans on sprinkling lawns are imposed. In other instances they meanthat there actuallyls hot enough water to meet the drinking, cooking and cleaning needs of the people. On such occasions people become very aware of what a blessing a plentiful supply of water can be. Some of the areas hit by water shortages have no one but themselves to blame. They fall to take the necessary steps to insure an adequate supply. In other places, however, its the elimate and location that are responsible for the shortage and not public neglect. Usually the shortages do not last long, although they can be troublesome and expensive while they do. In any event the shortages make people aware of how, for all the progress man has made he is still dependent on forces beyond his control for some, of his ‘ needs.

I shut the door and stepped warily toward the bathroom, peeked inside quickly. Nothing. 1 took my hand away from my gun. There were twin beds. A luggage rack stood at the foot of each, and both of them held two suitcases. A fur-lined tweed coat hung across the two nearest me. In the corner near the bathroom was a large scuffed pigskin kitbag. Miss Pomeroy really did have ■ lot oi luggage. The trunk was against the far wall. It was a big airplane-cloth wardrobe in tan with chocolate stripea It was opened vertically, the opening facing away from me. 1 moved

forward. 1 pulled the trunk away from the wall and used my right hand and right toot to spread it open farther. The two halves slid apart with a thin metallic Jangling ot empty Clothes hangers. The sound was harsh and almost startling tn the still room. A gun jabbed into my back while 1 was still leaning heavily on my right arm, entirely off balance "Stay Just li>. that," a voice said in a wavery tone, a voice made thin and tight with tension. “Who are you?" ■ I turned my head and looked at the gun that was only inthes away. A small gun, probably a .32, but mg enough. It was bigger than the one Stewart had used to shoot me It was a frightened moment before I looked up to see who was holding the gun. Miss Pomeroy stood tau 11 y ’•poised like a fencer, both feet squarely on the floor, her knees slightly bent, her whole body concentrated on the gun she held pointed toward my belt bucklt. Dark eyebrows were pulled into a straight line and her full, soft mouth was thinned with tension. She held an open handbag in her left hand, held it high, ready to flip it into my face as a distraction it I tried to rush her. 1 wasn't going to Jump the gun, but 1 was thinking how easy it would be if I didn't have a bad shoulder. And if my nerve had been better. She stepped back briskly, as If she could read my thoughts. “We need more light/’ she said, almost to herself. She slid, her handbag under her rght elbow, clamped it fast and then tumbled along the wall tor the switch, her eyes never once leaving mine. I shifted my weight slowly to both feet, but I kept my right hand fiat on top of the trunk, blinking my eyes when- bright overhead tights came on. Mus Fonicrby wore a heather

tweed suit, cut to fit snugly on her tall, slim body. 1 could see a small triangle of blue sweater at the neck. She was very tall for a woman, five-feet-nine, possibly more, but she still wore high heels on her cordovan p u m p St** With those heels she was a scant two or three inches shorter than I was. but everything was perfectly in proportion. I looked at her. And she was the promised land. It was a sharp, unexpected feeling, just as distinct in its way as the pain in my shoulder. Her eyebrows lost their hard straightness and her forehead showed new lines of bewilderment. Her mouth was ho longer tense. “What are you doing here I" The voice dwindled to a soft whisper, with none of it previous harshness. She was lovely, I thought. “The empty trunk," I said. "The purser was curious sbout it There’s a fugitive we think might be on board and we—” "And you,” Miss Pomeroy said, “represent the purser." "Sure," 1 said stupidly. “That’s a lie," ‘she snapped, and any hint of unsureness was gone from her voice. “You’re a private detective from Philadelphia Your name is Carney Wilde and you're a very rough fellow. Oh. 1 know you, Mr. Carney Wilde. AH about you. Now I think we’ll call whatever passes for police on this boat."

The bewilderment was all mininow. 1 muttered, staring at her, “How do you—" "I took your picture once." she said watching me warily while her left hand moved tn long swift arcs across the wall, searching for the telephone. “You were quite the man oi the hour, all because you had beat a confession out of some poor young man. The cops all thought you were fine.” Her dark blue eyes told me her opinion was different "1 never beat a confession out of anybody," I said hotly. "Not even Gerald Dodge?” she asked, her lips scornful. „ "Not. even Dodge,” I growled. "We proved he was a murderer, three times a murderer. He went for the high pillow. Do you remember all that, too? Or do you just remember I clouted him once while we were playing guessing games ?" The telephone waa on the other side of the door from her and she was getting farther away with each movement ’The phone's on the other side,” 1 said. “The man you want is the purser. Tell him to come down here and bring Russell with him. And while you’re about It, you—” Miss Pomeroy staggered forward, almost going to her knees. Only a convulsive effort kept her on her feet I Jumped forward, stumbling against the trunk, but managing to snatch the pistol from her hand while she was still off balance. "Russell's here. Seen outside al) the time." Ths assistant purser tried to grin at me but wobbled into a nervous grimace. He had shoved open the door, timing it Just right to stagger Miss Pomeroy. , ‘'Good boy,” I said.

Nicaraguan Troops Ordered To Border Relations Tense With Costa Rica MANAGUA, Nicaragua (INS) — Nicaraguan President Anastaaio Son)osa ordered motorised troops massed at the southern border with Costa Rica today as relations between the two Central American nations grew more tense. This action, taken Thursday night, followed a report that a Nicaraguan plane had been damaged by Costa Rican ground fire although it was maintained that the plane did not fly over the frontier. The two countries long have been at odds and the protests and counter - protests about border violations followed a short-lived revolt by a group of Costa Rican rebels. In San Jose, the Costa Rican capital, one dispatch from Nicaragua quoted foreign minister Oscar Sevilla Sacasa as saying “if Costa Rica wants war she aan have it.” The plane was said to have been over Nicaraguan territory when it was hit. The foreign office was preparing a protest note. President Samosa said he was sending the troops because of continued violations of the Nicaraguan .territory by troops of Costa Rica’s President Jose Figueres. Somoza instructed the departing forces: *‘Do not provoke but if you are attacked, answer the fire.” The U.S. embassy in San Jose announced late Thursday night that Nicaragua was conducting “routine maneuvers” at various points in Nicaragua, and thkt officers of the U.S. military mission harf been invited to act as observers. Nicaraguan army planes were reported to have patrolled-the border along the San Juan river Thursday.

Miss Pomeroy held herself erect with one hand against the wardrobe trunk. Her open handbag had fallen to the floor. I went forward and picked it up. f /*“You hold this." 1 pitched the -gfrlM pistol to Russell. I upended the handbag over the bed, shook everything out, looking for her wallet. Miss Pomeroy kept hers in a zipper compartment that was difficult to open with only one hand. Inside it was a flat packet of money, all in 50’s. About 3500 or 3600, I guessed. With the cash was a red morocco card case and that was what 1 was after. Miss E. J Pomeroy lived in Narberth, a close-in suburb of Philadelphia She was a member of the Camera club, the Red Cross, the Veterans of Foreign Wars and the Reserve Officers of Naval Services. A deck of business cards said she was also E. J, Pomeroy of E. J. Pomeroy and Associates, commercial photographers. Northing else looked interesting in her bag except a small unset diamond in a twist of .tissue. 1 put everything back as neatly as I could. Then 1 took the gun from Russell and tossed it on to the bed. I said to Miss Pomeroy: "What 1 said before i? perfectly true. There max be a fugitive on board this boat- A murderer. He reserved this bedroom almost six weks ago for this cruise. Then, at the last minute, you showed up in his plac» With an empty trunk. I suppose 1 should go #bout this anomer way. but 1 was afraid that your conversation with Sergl. Kebble would nave put you put of any notion ot eo-opeiating. Ro I asked the purser to bring you to ms office white I had a took arour.d. What brought you back su s >n?” “Couldn't figure it," Russell said. “We were halfway up the stairs when she gave a little gasp and turned around, heading back here. I couldn’t catch her in time.” “Glad you came back," I said. 1 asked Miss Pomeroy why she had returned so quickly. She shrugged. "The purser came a few minutes ago to look at my ticket I assumed he would want to see it again. I’d left it in my coat, so 1 came back for it And found a thug tn my cabin." I reached back for the heavy, fur-lined tweed coat, hauled ft around to find the pocket and pulled out a wadded mass of papers. Ths top one said “Delta Lines’* and it was an official receipt 1 didn’t look at the rest of them. “Fair enough," I said. I got up and walked aimlessly across the floor, staring out at the dull water and the icy shoreline. "But what about the empty trunk?” “What about it?" Miss Pomeroy snapped. * , ■ - “An empty trunk la rather unusual,” I said softly. "Most people going on s trip take a full one. What did you fill yours with, Miss Pomeroy 7" "Nothing." 1 glanced over my shoulder at RusselL “It wasn't empty when she cams aboard,': he said flatly. The good humor was gone now and he turned to stare suspiciously at Miss Pomeroy. (TB Bt ConflnuedJ... ’ _

County 4-H Projects Are Judged This Week \

By MARLENE LAURENT - (Staff Reporter) Cakes, cookies, rolls, canned foods, frozen foods, dish towels, dresses, aprons and skirta are being Inspected in droves this week as two judges select the Adhms county blue ribbon 4-H members. The judges, Mrs. Luke Thaman of Paulding, 0., and Mrs. P. B. Smith of Waynedale, are inspecting the products of this year’s 4-H projects. 1 All over -the county, in every 4-H club girls (and a few boys) hopefully submit their best samples to compete for a blue ribbon which will make them eligible for a premium award at the county fair. From the premium winners will be selected the entries for the state fair. No special number of blue ribbons are being awarded. If the entry is of good quality in its division, it earns the blue ribbon. The judging event is what the 4-Hera have been working toward all year. The various project's—baking, sewing and food preservation—have prepared them for this event. Each member is encouraged to submit an entry for each project In which they participate. This means that those judges have to do a lot of looking and a lot of tasting to appraise the work of se many girls and boys. The Adams county youngsters work hard to prepare for this contest, too. It isn’t unusual for a girl in the baking project to bake five or six cakes before she has one that satisfies her as an entry. To be fair about the contest, each project has several divisions depending on how long the member has been doing that type of 4-H work. In other words, there are four or five divisions in the baking class and several divisions in each of the other classes. Because of the divisional arrangemept, a little girl who just started baking has as much chance for a blue ribbon as her big sister who has been baking for several years. Judging the entries tor all the clubs "Ik filling up a whole week of the judges' and county home agents’ time. Each morning and afternoon of this week finds the judges at different points in the county, visiting and inspecting the work of one of the 4-H Picking out the best in the county isn’t the only purpose of the contest. During the judging. Mrs. Thaman and Mrs. Smith take time to explain to the members what is right and what is wrong about their entries. They find out that they’ll have, to pay more attention to the seam ' placement in their skirts, or strive I for a finer grained cake. The contest, therefore. is a part of the 4-H program planned to prepare today’s young people for their future roles as adults. It Is interesting to 1 note that in several of the cluba, boys are enrolled in the baking projects. Whether it is a retaliation against the girls for participating in the livestock projects or the boys don’t have sisters to do their baking, is not clear. However, these boys are just as “blue ribbon” conscious as the girls and they earn their share of the coveted ribbons, too. While every boy and girl who
