" I N. ' - Symptoms of Epilepsy Found within the Body

•y HERMAN N. BUND HEN, MJ. EPILEPSY to one of the common conditions affecting the nervous system. Most people know that in epilepsy there are either convulsions or loss of consciousness for a few moments, depending upon the type of disorder present. However. It Is now generally known that tn those with epilepsy there may be such symptoms as sickness ot the stomach, discomfort In the abdomen, vomiting and belching' In many cases, there is also an excessive flow of saliva. er Symptoms Furthermore, there may also be symptoms due to disturbance of the heart aad breathing mechanism. such as pain in the chest, rapid breathing, paleness or flushing. In some eases, these symptoms affecting the various structures within the body may bo more evident than the attacks of the convulsions or loss of consciousness in the patient. Tracing Brain Waves On physical examination, no disturbance of these various parts of the body can be detected. Mowever. the true nature of the

Congratulations to all! ——io October 16 marks the anniversary of a triumph by man over pain and suffering. It was on that date in 1846 that Dr. William Green Morton, demonstrated that ether could be used in major surgical operations. His story reads like the plot of a movie. Dr. Morton had been up late the night before readying his equipment. The next day he was late reporting for the operation pnd the physicians before whom he was to appear prepared to start the operation without him. He arrived in the nick of time and administered the ether. It is impossible for us today to imagine how painful and difficult major surgery was before ether came into use. Few people remember the name of the doctor, yet all mankind is in his debt. 0- p Columbus Day:-— — There is in every great man a certain something that makes him different from other men. Perhaps it is a greater awareness of the world in which he lives, perhaps a firmer faith in his God and in himself. Ip Christopher Columbus it was all these and persistence . . .’ a persistence that amounted 4e stwbberneM . .-. the sort that makes heroes. It would have been 7 easy Columbus to turn back many times, to lay aside his dream and become like the other men of his day. Yet he could not take the leasy way. He could not turn back when rebellious crew members tried to infect him with their fear. He could not turn back because he believed the world was round and was determined to prove it. He did. He conquered a tempertous ocean, discovered a new world, opened an era of discovery and exploration, altered his own times and the times that followed. His greatest asset was his dedication. He never knew how vast the fulfilment of his dream would prove to be. The miracle of what is now America was the dream of Columbus in 1492.

■ disorder often can be demon- ) strated by making a tracing of the brain waves known as an ■ electroencephalogram. It is also i easy to confuse this type of dis- ' turbance with other disorders, f such as brain tumors or even > some emotional disorder. 1 Casos Studied 1 in 100 epileptic patients studied, only 60 had convulsions, but all ■ of them had symptoms affecting 1 the stomach, bowel, heart and ' breathing organs.

BTRuraiu When the noted sleuth, Jim Bennett, secerned the invitation of his secretary. Bandy Hollis, to join with her family for a weekend of oheasant shooting in rural Ohio, he looked forward to a pleasant, quiet time. But when he met her family and friends, be realized that he was amid a drama of human conflict as tense as anything he'd experienced tn his long prime-detection :areer. Sandy's young war-vet brother. Ralph, had ''ditched' the spirited Judy Kirkland for docile Eileen Fortune, and the bate between these two women flew - like sparks. But the pheasant hunt proceeds as scheduled, with the Hollis’. Eileen Fortune and her father Jake, ind Bennett, armed and equipped to bring down birds. On a ridge overlooking the Kirkland property. Ralph Bollis is felled by gun-snot and lies bleeding and unconscious on the (round. CHAPTER EIGHT AS WE approached the ravine, ve heard the sound of gunfire. I looked questiomngly at Ralph, and le furrowed his dark brows tn a Irown. Another shot rang out in he cold November air. It seemed m come from the far side of the ravine. “Is that your father and the Pot-tunes?" 1 asked Ralph. He shook his head. “I don’t hink so—they headed the other vay, toward the house. It’s probibly some city hunters on the jlace without permission." We reached the edge of the rarine, and Ralph went down the jteep side, running stiff-legged to teep his balance, and started up he other side. Sandy and 1 folowed him, holding our guns dear rt the underbrush. A gun cracked icarby, and the dry branches of he trees around rattled faintly. Something struck my hat brim, ike a pebble falling. “The fools,” Sandy said angrily. •They're shooting too close to us.” Ahead of us and above, Ralph famed the top ot the opposite side »i the ravine, and tor an instant ils tall form was silhouetted igainst the bright blue sky. In that instant the unseen gun spoke ■gain, two quick shots, and 1 saw 1 pheasant rise over Uie crest and wheel away to my right. 1 raised ny gun to mj shoulder, began to lead the bird with the sights, and put alow pressure on the trigger. bandy's stricken voice slopped Bae. “Jim! Ralph’s hurt!” 1 turned and looked upward, and I saw Ralph swaying on his feet. He dropped his gun, leaned briefly against the trunk of a big beech tree, and then slid slowly to the ground. 1 reached him first. There was no blood yet. but 1 could sec where the bird shot had entered. Thifi black furrows slanted in horizontal lines across his nght shoulder and chest, leaving ragged tears in his leather jacket. Ha laid his check

uivnu icavva cuiu began to cough, and the leaves were suddenly stained red. 1 kneeled over him and snapped at Sandy. “Run to the house and call a doctor. I’ll bring him in.” She ran like a young deer down the ravine, her brown hair glinting in the sunlight. Gently I turned Ralph on his back and un-zipped his leather Jacket. The shotgun pellets had penetrated deeply and blood was already soaking his flannel shirt. “Ralph,” I said sharply. He tried to grin at me, but caught his lower lip between his teeth in sudden pain, and started to cough again. 1 gathered his long body in my arms as gently as I could, and carefully started down the side of the ravine. There was a sound behind me, and I turned. Judy Kirkland was coming up the hill on the far side, from a small valley below. She reached the crest, panting, and looking at me dumbly, and at the form of Ralph in my arms. He was limp now, and his eyes were closed. Judy’s face went gray and pinched-looking. She opened her mouth, but no sound came out. "Were you doing that shooting?" I snapped. "Yes, I—l guess so. I was standing down there in the thicket, and 1 saw a bird fly out of the ravine. Did 1 . . . ?" "Yes," 1 said grimly, turning away. "You hit Ralph." I started down the side of the ravine, holding Ralph as gently as I could. She scrambled after me. "Walt," she panted. “1—" “Wait, nothing. This boy has got to get to a doctor. Bring the guns, if you want to help." She gathered up the two shotguns, and 1 could hear her followuig me, slipping and sliding on the hill. When we reached the .barnyard at last I could feel the sweat drenching my body, and 1 was panting like a relay runner after the last hurdle Sandy and her mother were waiting on the back porch. They stared at Ralph dumbly, and Sandy opened Hie door. A sheet and a pillow had been placed on one of the divans tn the living room, and as I laid Ralph down Mrs. Hollis moaned, “Ralph, my baby. . . ." Sandy said in a strained voice, "Dr. Mazzini is on the way. He should oe ncre by now. . . ." 1 unbuttoned Ralph’s shirt and then 1 knew that at least one of the pellets had gone deep. 1 had forgotten about Judy Kirkland until she spoke. "Those sun glasses.

Sandy ran to the front door and came back into the room with a tall man, a dark, hatless man who wore a blue woolen muffler and a gray tweed overcoat. He had short, curly black hair and a lean, dark, Indian-lik« face, alert black eyes. He ignored all of us and we stood aside whil« he knelt beside the divan. "Hospital,” he said shortly. "Twc of those shots are pretty deepmight be in the lung. “I'll take him in my car.” The two of us carried Ralph out to the doctor’s car, a new blu« Ford sedan, and laid him gently on the rear seat.

Sandy said, “Can —I go along?" , "Sure," the doctor said. "Hog in.” Swiftly Sandy got in beside him and he started the motor, Judy Kirkland appeared beside the cal and fumbled at the door latch. “No," the doctor snapped, “yo« stay here." Judy backed away with a faintly dazed expression. The Ford’i rear wheels skidded on the ston< as we swung tn a circle and took off. 1 looked out of the rear window and saw Judy and Mrs. Hollis standing In the drive gazing after us. As we turned into th< highway, the doctor said, "Whe shot him?” “Judy,” I said. His lean jaw tightened, but hi made no comment Sandy stared straight ahead and said nothing. Ralph mutterec something, and 1 tried to make him more comfortable. It took ui maybe ten minutes to reach th< hospital in Ridge Center, a long low-rooted building on the edge oi the village with a cement parking area around it The doctor stopped at a rear entrance labeled Emergency, blew a blast on the horn and got out Almost immediately two white-uniformed nurses appeared with a wheeled, white sheeted stretcher and rolled it u| to the car.

Wave Os Flying Saucer Activity Is Reported

By International News Service A sudden wave of flying saucer reports came simultaneously today from persons in at least five different parts of the world, including one from a German who claimed to have seen creatures less than four feet tall disembark from a cigar-shaped craft. Persons in Germany. Belgium, Egypt, Argentina, Lebanon and the French Catneroons claimed they saw mysterious disks in the sky. In Muenster, Germany, 42-year-old movie projectionist Frans Hoge told the news agency DPA that he saw a “flying saucer” land in a field and peculiarly-shaped creatures get out. Hoge said he noticed a bright blue light and thought at first it came from a crashed airplane. On closer examination, he declared, he discovered a "cigar-shaped” craft hovering about six feet above the ground and giving off a brilliant blue radiance which nearly blinded him. Then, the movie projectionist added, he suddenly sighted four creatures about three and one-half feet in height. He said they had “thick-set bodies, oversised heads and delicate legs" and wore, rub-ber-like clothing. Hoge said he observed the craft and its occupants for about ten minutes from a distance of about 200 feet, but did not have the courage jo approach any closerAlso in Germany, pilots and pupils at a glider school near Frankfurt claimed to have seen a ‘‘slightly swollen silvery disc” moving noiselessly otfer their field. Agence France Bresse said the 13 witnesses, some of them former Luftwaffe (German air force) men, denied that they were the victims of an optical illusion. A mail carrier in the Belgian village of Huy, near Namur, reported that he spotted a flying “cigar” which rose into the sky as he approached. He claimed to have seen two stthrmettes "roughly human in shape" aboard the craft. Several hundred witnesses in Alexandria told of seeing a luminous object which changed in color from fed to orange as it streaked through the sky. Later the mysterious object turned green and then a sort of gray-blue. The Heluan observatory near Cairo was notified but the object vanished before special instruments could be trained on it. How-

ever, observatory officials said it could have been a natural phenomenon caused by a recent electrical storm. ■ ■ Three motorists in Buenos Aires claimed they saw a luminous craft which hung motionless above their cars for one or two minutes and then rose vertically into the air at tremendous speed. The motorists said the ‘s'aucer” made no noise, although it trailed a stream of flames. The Beirut newspaper “L’Orient” quoted Max Favell, a representative of a German film, as sayinjs he saw a disc hang motionless over the seashore while giving out a faint white light. Favell told the newspaper the craft landed for a few seconds and then took oft vertically. Abdelkarim Natour, an Agence France Presse employee in Beirut, said he saw a light red ballshaped object moving about 600 feet above the sea. The report mentioned a “brilliant" object shaped like a mushroom which hovered at a height of about 1,800 feet for a few second and then moved off rapidly in an easterly direction. The witnesses included the director of the Yaounde hospital and several government officials. » , o ( Household Scrapbook 1 BY ROBERTA LEE q— q Woolens Shrunken woolens can be restored if clean soapsuds instead of clear water ia' used as the last wash.

•mxKmercniex so Ber twee. n seemed to me that she looked quite unattractive, but I sternly told my- i self that I should be more charita- ; ble. After all, Ralph was her betrothed. 1 saw Dr. Mazzini, dressed in i street clothes again, standing at the far end of the corridor. Sandy 1 saw him, too, and she said to me, “Go with him, Jim. There is no need for you to wait around kere. I’D see you at the house.” “All right." 1 moved down to the doctor, asked him if I could ride with him as far as the Hollis place. He nodded, and we went out to his Ford. As we drove away, he said, “I've got to see a patient on the next road past the Hollis place." We rode tn silence for a while, but after we left the village limits the doctor said suddenly, "Judy's too careless —about everything. All she was thinking about was killing that bird, and she didn't pay attention to anything else. She should nave seen Ralph, standing like you said on the top of the ravine.” “Yes," I said, noting that we were in the country and approaching the lane leading up to the Hollis farm. “Let me out at the top of the hilt” He looked at me quickly. “Is that near where it happened?" "Fairly near. It was back off the highway, beyond the woods.” He compressed his Ups and he didn't speak again until he'd stopped the Ford on the edge of the highway at the top of the hill overlooking the Hollis farm and the adjoining land where Jake Fortune and Eileen lived. And through the distant trees I saw the gables of a tall old house and decided that it was the Kirkland place, where Judy’s aunts spent their days in what 1 imagined was decadent loneliness. And from the hill top the tree-fringed ravine wound across the land of all three farms. Dr. Mazzini said carefully, "It was an accident?” 1 looked at him in surprise. "Os course.” He sat with his hands on the wheel and ms eyes were bleak as they surveyed the countryside. “You wanted out here,” ne said, ' “and not at the Hollis lane. To me, that means you're going to look over the scene where it happened. You're a detective, with a big agency. You're almost the same as the law, and 1 know how 1 your mind works. When I was 1 just out of Western Reserve and interning 1 nad a part-time job with the coroner’s office. We had some nomicides, ot course. I helped on some ot them, and 1 1 got to know some of the city detectives.” He paused, his eyes on the • horizon. 1 "Go on," I said gently. 1 He turned toward me.

“i nan me impression tnat It was the other way around," I said. “Didn’t Judy give Ralph the gate?" He shrugged. “What’s the difference? 1 suppose you’re wondering why Tm so interested?” "I can guess,” 1 said. “Good luck.” He laughed shortly. “I know what you mean. She’s spoiled and bored and selfish, like • high bred horse or a blue ribbon dog—she needs somebody to crack the whip.” He gave me a sidelong look. “And why am I telling you aD thia?" “I don’t know," I said, “unless you figure you’re the guy to crack the whip. That’s why I wished you gdod luck." His gaze shifted away from mine, and he gunned the Ford's motor. I opened the door. “Thanks for the lift, Doc.” “What do you expect to find over there?” He jerked his head toward the* fields. "Probably nothing." "But you’ve got to look?" “Habit," I said. "Maybe just plain nosiness. I was with Ralph when he was hit Maybe 1 cas figure out how it happened. Anyhow, I've got the afternoon ts kill." I got out and closed the door and walked across to the woods. As I moved through the trees I felt a vague uneasiness. II wasn’t like the city, and yet it was the same. A man can be terribly alone in the city with people all around him, and I had a feeling of loneliness now, a vague sensation oi danger. 1 was oddly relieved when 1 left the woods and began to cross the open meadow. The ~ ravine was directly ahead, and 1 saw the big beech tree where Ralph had fallen. I went down into the ravine, imagining that 1 was Ralph, and 1 climbed up to the ridge and stood by the beech tree and gazed down into the valley. 1 saw the thicket where Judy Kirkland had said she had stood when she had fired at the pheasant ruing from the ravine bqhind Ralph Hollis. J shifted my position until I thought 1 was standing in the same spot I’d seen Ralph just before the shotgun charge -struck mm. 1 stood beside the tree, still imagining that 1 was Ralph, and that Judy Kirkland was standing tn the thicket directly below me with het gun poised tor a quick shot at a bird rising behind me. Two hyurs ago, if I had bees Ralph, 1 would have been facing the aim, and the sun would have been at Judy's back—she could have seen mo clearly, ii she had been looking. And then 1 put my sell in Judy's place, standing is thick underbrush, and wearing dark sun glasses, and sighting swiftly on a bird winging fast intx the sky. Would 1 have noticed * man standing above me, between me and the bird?
