A, which was absorbed in the 139th Field Artillery and gave heroic service in France, will have a glorious reunion here this weekend.

Such is the progress of the last 48 years and today millions of baseball fans saw the first tilt between the Giants and Indians. About the only improvement in this magic carpet broadcast of baseball that may come in theVutuni’is a colored’ picture of the whole affair, which when confined to a ball diamond would not add much to reception. The 75th anniversary of the first telephone call made in Cleveland was celebrated in that city. At that time there were but 76 local subscribers, and it was possible for the operators to identify them by nameplates on the switchboard. The operators were boys; The exchange was operated by the Western Union Telegraph Company. which, however, withdrew from the telephone business within two months.Jn the first few years 100 calls a day were thought brisk business. Now the city and its suburbs make more than 3,000,000 local calls daily and 52.700 long distance calls. The original 76 subscribers have grown to 680,000. The development of the telephone business from these bumble days is one of the marvels of American industry.

Sexual Factors Affect Cancer of the Cervix

By HUMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.O. CIRCUMCISION of the male is a definite factor in prevention of ona of the worst of female turnon. Cancer of the cervix or mouth of the womb is one of the moat commonly occurring cancers. It is one of the most difficult to treat and one in which treatment holds little promise. The symptoms may be spotting between periods or sudden reoccurrlng bleeding In women who have gone through the menopause or change of life. A foul discharge is also symptomatic. Early Treatment Vital Diagnosis is usually made after physical examination; the physician takes special smears to determine the presence of cervical cancer. Early treatment can prove lifesaving in many cases. The special smears can be taken routinely in most doctors’ offices. The news of the value of circumcision was learned when It was discovered that cancer of the cervix varies in rates of occurrence among certain races. It is

It is too early to predict the outcome of the congressional elections in November, but Ray Tucker, whose syndicated column, ‘•National Whirligig” appears in many newspapers, reviews recent set-backs for the Republicans, which do not spell victory for the GOP. Including the Maine election. Columnist Tucker said, “Their (Republican) worry, based on a headquarters canvass of the results, derives from their realization that a definite pattern of anti-Republican revulsions shows up in all these tests”. . . . “As of today, and it is doubtful if Ike's calls for the election of Republicans can change the situation; impartial observers believe that Democratic capture of bouse and senate is almost a certainty”. The writer also said that President Eisenhower’s “insulated circle of advisers" did not help the President's cause. 0 o President's Guard:— Don Whitehead, an Associated Press writer, details the work of the secret service agents who keep our presidents safe from assassins. — ~ Secret service men are college graduates who have spent time in the field and have attended spec? ial schools where they learn investigation techniques and methods of guarding the President. In addition to the Job of guarding him physically it is their task to investigate threats made against the president's life. A threat is made against the chief executive on the average of once every six hours. Some of these are made by drunks, cranks, and over-ex-cited persons in political arguments. But every threat must be checked out'lest the one ignored prove to be a real plot. Three Presidents, Lincoln. McKinley, and Garfield were assassinated. Attempts were made on the lives of Jackson. Franklin Roosevelt and Truman. Secret service protection extends to the families of presidents. When President Eisenhower goes out on the golf couree he is accompanied by a number of young men who look like othdr golfers but whose task Is to guard Ike. > Protecting the President is a round-the-clock job. It calls for vigilance, dedication and courage. The men who perform this job seldom receive ''publicity. Yet there must be a great deal of satisfaction for them in ttre knowledge that their work keeps the man elected by the people sate from the dangers of fanatics and madmen.

more common in dark skinned Individuals and far less common in persons of the Jewish or Moslem faith. It is quite rare in the groups of people who believe in circumcision. Widows, and women who begin their sexual activities late in life, marry late, or never marry at all do not contract this disease, except In occasional instances. These facts are of Interest because they may point the way toward one method of helping to prevent cancer of the womb. QUESTION AND ANSWER Mrs. H. H.: Are permanent wave solutions detrimental to children? Answer: Very few reactions have been reported due to skin absorption of these waving solutions. However, such solutions should be kept away from the eyes, ears, nose and mouth of children and should not be kept tn a place where a child may reach them and possibly swallow them.

CHAPTER TWhINTX EIGHT KELLY and Marsh were the two people Penn was glad to see. They brought no problems, no grievances or anxieties. They were anxious about her but not about themselves. One reason why she dreaded going home was that she would miss Marsh and Kelly. Kelly was moving into the little house she had found before Christmas. . “If Rufe wants to come there, tie will, and I'll try to take care of nim, Penn,’’ she said. "But I can’t stay out there any more. It's too far from my job.” Penn kept silent, not voicing her own selfish wish that Rutherford would he gone from the Maryland house before she went back to it—but they were sending ner home the next Monday, and there was little chance that Kelly could manage the move before then. Strange, how swiftly a world that had been so firmly established, so casually accepted, so accustomed, could fall to pieces, for her—for all of them! Had it begun on that foggy night when she had Almost run Marsh Nichols down? Certainly her own unrest, ner troubling doubt of Uncle Elihu, hrd begun then. Now even to remember it shamed her, made her grief greater. 11 only be bad not talked to ner on that plane! Too much now must ne buried forever in her heart, too much that was anguish even to remember. On Sunday night, when Quincy and Yates nad left after their last visit to the hospital, Marsh came in. "Just patched up a carload of crazy kids who ran into the abutment on Key bridge,” he said. “I have to rush back, but I wanted to let you know—l got some information about your man, Kissell. He was naval reserve and they called him to service on the 27th of November.” So now there was nothing to do but wait for news of Gil —wait and pray that the Storeys would be spared any more tragedy. She said, "Thank you, Marsh. They arc sending me home tomorrow. I won't be seeing you any more.” "Wednesday's my afternoon off,” he grinned at her, gave her a little pat on the forehead w|icre the blackened bruise was now slowly turning green. "Be good," he said, and was gone. They carried her to her own room at home and Penn loved it, but suddenly remembered that soon it might be no longer her private retreat. She had glimpsed the sign on the gatc:.,"E. Gregg Storey, Realtor.”

aciusb uie nail Penn couia near Rutherford’s voice, always it seemed, complaining about something. Every time Aunt Maude went into his room she came out with misted eyes, and once Penn heard Rutherford shouting, "Mama, can’t you come near me without sniveling?” Christmas was only two weeks away. ’’We shall simply ignore it,” Maude insisted.’ *lt would be travesty now.” • Quincy displayed a set of pearl studs and cuff links she had bought for Yates, an album of a recorded book tor old Myron. "Christmas simply can't happen! 1 can't tear it!” wailed Maude. "At least Kelly has agreed to let Rutherford stay on with me until it’s over.” Christmas came, with spring-like weather. Almeda roasted a goose and the big diningroom table was set again. Gregg and Malvina and the boys were* coming to dinner but Maude could not be happy because the elevator had never been installed and there was nobody to carry Rutherford downstairs. Kelly and Gregg had volunteered to try, but Rutherford vetoed that idea. "If it weren’t for Gregg’s boys I’d never have planned a Christmas dinner," Maude said. Because Gregg’s boys had been dragged away from their own Christmas tree with difficulty, the dinner was late. Quincy was restless because she was going to hear a choral program at the cathedral with Yates. Penn was finishing her pudding when the doorbell chimed. Her heart stood still. Not todayno, not today! she made her plea. “Man—for you, Miss Penn,". Almeda announced, sticking her head in the door. Marsh Nichols stood just within the hall, a tissue-wrapped pared! in his hand. “For you—and happier Christmases," he said. "And this little one is from mother. She made it herself—she said to explain that her hands were not as steady as they used to be.” “Oh, Marsh — you shouldn’t have!" protested Penn. “I didn't do a thing about, Christmas this year —somehow we couldn't.” “Os course you couldn’t. Open mother's — she'll want to know what you thwight of it - and I’ll have to run along. I’m on duty at 5. AU Uie holiday casualties will be rolling in.[' “Do come in and sit down then. Come and speak to my family. They're still in the dining-room." “Sorry, 4 won’t have time today. Here—let me do that.” With long brown fingers, already trained to mastering intricate surgical knots.

ne suppea tne ribbon tree from the little flat package. Within was a handkerchief with a delicately tatted edge. "Oh, lovely!" exclaimed Penn. "1 love it. Do tell her that, will you?” "I'll tell her. You can open that other one later.” "No, I’ll open it now. But I wish you hadn't brought me a gift. Marsh- I feel so selfish." "Nonsense. It isn't much—just something you may need.” It was a Saint Christopher medal, hung on a fine gold chain. Marsh nad written on the card. "To keep you sate forever,” Penn felt a warm, troubling glow. Impulsively she stood on tiptoe and kissed Marsh on the cheek. Ana it was then that the door opened and a figure in blue coming in said, naif amused: "Well Happy New Year!" Penn gave a little scream. "Gil!" She torgot Marsh, who let himjsclt out without looking back. "Gil’s home!” she cried, running back to the dining-room. "Gil's come back —alive!” i Marsh Nichols’ old car had gone smoking down the drive before she remembered that she had not said thanks, or good by. When the excitement of Gil's arrival had died down and Quincy had gone off to her date with Yates, Penn slipped quietly up to her room. Maude was clinging to her son, telling over again and again the dreary story of their tragedy, weeping and being comforted. Rutherford shouted down the stairs till at last Gil went up to speak to him. Kelly was helping Almeda in the kitchen but, for some reason she did not clearly comprehend herself, Penn wanted to be alone. There was so little she could say to GiL All her promises, to stand by, to carry on, had come to nothing. She had had no power to prevent those crashing calamities that had marked the last days of Elihu Storey. There was another promise she had made that just now came back to shame her. Winifred! Flowers for Winifred, Gil had said — and this was Christmas Day, and she had forgotten. She had no excuse. Certainly |he could not explain to GU that she had forgotten the grave of his dead wife because for weeks she had been trying to put out of her own mind every thbught of another woman who had belonged to him. Groping, vacillating, haunted by fears, who was she to attack the problems of other people, when she could not manage her own heart? (2'o He C'onlmu/cdJ

Meat Production At Near Record Levels Abundant Supply Os Hogs Leads Output WASHINGTON (INS) — The agriculture department reported today that meat production, led by an abundant supply of hogs, climbed last week to near record levels for the year despite labor disputes in a number of packing plants. Meat production, including beef, pork, veal and lamb, was estimated at 387 million pounds. This was two percent higher than the preceding week and two percent above the 381 million pounds produced during the same period last year. The department said that labor disturbances in a number of packing plants apparently had little effect bn overall slaughter operations as cattle and hog kills were largest of the season, and der» exceeded for the year only by the slaughter in the first two weeks of January. As a result of the increased slaughter of cattle and hogs, officials said volume of meat production was at the peak for the season to date and there were indications it will rise still higher in the coming weeks. The department’s meat report Said that 1,172,000 hogs were slaughtered last week, an increase of four percent over the preceding week and 12 percent more than the 1,042,000 slaughtered in the same week last year. Pork production rose from 137.800,000 pounds in the corresponding week last year to 152.200,000 pounds last week. Output of lard jumped from 30,200,000 pounds to 34.600,000 pounds. In contrast to the pork situation, beef production remained fairly stabilized while output of veal and lamb was reported on the downturn. The department estimated that 390,000 head of cattle were slaughtered last week, two percent higher than the 382.009 killed the week before but four percent below the 405,000 during the same week a year ago. Although beef production rose to 199.700,000 pounds, officials pointed out that it was still below the 21’4,200,000 pounds recorded for the same week last year. Calf slaughter dropped from 168.000 to 163,000 last week and this compared with 175,000 during the corresponding week last year. Sheep and lamb slaughter totaled 812,000 head compared with 317,000 the preceding week and 352,000 last year.
