People of all walks of life and of every nation in the world have uttered prayers that the great American soon be restored to health. Stricken at his summer vacation home in Colorado, the news of his heart attack cast a feeling of despair among all of us. We join the millions of others in praying for a speedy and full recovery to his former health.

Par-*' rish, serving as Juvenile Court Judge, In placing the young Detroit boy, driver of the automobile which figured in a fatal accident near here, on probation will receive general commendation, we believe. The boy had a good record as a Detroit youngster and the Court has given him a chance to return home and lead a -normal life. Judge Parrish is an advocate of saving the youth whenever there is the slightest chance. In this instance the evidence showed that in all probability the young man, with the guidance of his. Priest and parents would return to his community and be a useful citizen.

What is the proper length of time between the announcement of an engagement and the wedding? A. There is no definite rule,'‘the length of time naturally depending upon circumstances. Usually the maximum Is six months, and usually a couple anticipating a greater length of time will postpone the announcement of the engagement until they are fairly certain of the date of their marriage. Q. Isn’t it poor form to type a signature on a business letter? A. Yes, unless it is supplemented by a pen signature. Sometimes this is advisable when a person’s signature is very illegible. Q. What apology should one make after a sudden sneeze in public? A. "Pardon me’’ is sufficient. * I —■ e Household Scrapbook I BY ROBERTA LEE ' 0 —• Mouse Traps After a mouse has been caught in a trap, do not use the trap again until it has been thoroughly scalded, dried, and aired, to take away all scent Do this, or use a new trap.

CHAPTER TWENTY AFTER a half-hour Adam and Pinky left the castle. They went on to the Indian tallage, delighted to find that the inhabitants actually lived in the skin tepees, and did their weaving out In the open. An Indian woman talked to them, told them that there was no longer a zoo. She was the familiar Navajo, with, straight black bangs above her deej&fet eyes and a cross-stitched gingham apron tied about her waist A beautiful red and gray rug was drawn about her shoulders, wrapping the child she carried. The little boy watched the visitors with interest. Pinky asked the usual questions; the woman was his grandmother. His mother had died when the new baby was bora —she nodded her head to where a cradle board was hung by thongs from a tree branch. Pinky went over to it, stood tender-eyed and crooning above the tiny creature. He too was wrapped in a colorful rug. •‘lsn’t he precious, Adamt" she demanded, her lips parted, her eyes softly shining. “I'd like to take him home." The grandmother recognized this for a joke and a compliment. “You have your own baby,she advised the red-haired girl. - ( Pinky laughed. ‘Tlllthink about that," she promised. They went on then to the house and worked hard, because they decided, it wouldn’t do to tell Ann they’d got lost. “But we saw a lot of country. Cute houses, Indians—it was fun!” It had been fun —to do, and to talk about. When they went home at dusk, they found a note from Ann. She’d gone to the show. Adam drove Pinky to the hotel: she said she'd change and they might as well eat dinner together. Sure, he looked all right—he always did. She went upstairs; he spoke for a table, lounged about the lobby, bought some good photographic post cards. Pinky had gone into the elevator a pretty tomboy in slacks and plaid shirt; she came out a beautiful young lady in a coat dress of dark ‘ blue Wool over a printed underskirt, a red flower at her throat, a little red hat on her ead —the right shade of red against her shining hair which was pulled back into curls against her neck. Adam was proud to go Into the. dining room with her, to sit (beside her on the banquette and have the leader of the small string or-

To have a “date” with a pretty girl, to see other men look at her admiringly, and at Adam with envious respect—it made a man feel young, with a lot of life still before him. It gave him zest for that life. Those days, that sort of pleasure was too often In direct contrast with Ann’s behavior. She was pouty, or coldly disinterested. He just could not talk to her! He had occasional contrite flashes of realisation that the girl was lonely. She’d do better if she had a large house to keep—or if she had a child. But as things were now— He was doing well in New Mexico, but still he often cut pretty Close to the wind. Give him another year, and a child would be a Cine idea. He hoped that Ann understood, and she probably did. Meanwhile, of course, _ she was lonely.’ Ann was lonely, and she did not understand. And then— Just at this precise time, she received a nasty blow to her pride. Or so she considered IL She subscribed to the Kennerly newspaper. Adam read it infrequently, but the minute It was put Into the mailbox beside their door, Ann would stop whatever she was doing and pore over it for an absorbed half-hour. Even the ads spoke to her of home. The hospital notices told of the state of her friends' health. The church news —the society columns—she read every word. And it had happened, on a Saturday morning when she was alone that Ann had come upon a short announcement which made her thrust the paper from her as if hot. Dazedly, she Considered those five lines of type. "Yesterday a son was bora to Dr. and Mrs. Curtis Alexander of . . . Dr. Alexander is the Surgeon in Charge of the Railway Association Hospital. This is their third child, their first son.” All that day Ann went about with newsprint dancing before her eyes. Still in a state of dazed hurt, that evening she went to the movies, seeking the privacy of the darkened theater, the immunity it would give her from interruption. She wanted to think. She must think. * ■ All day she had blocked her mind against thought. She had not let herself so much as count the months since she had left Ken-

nerly. But now sne thought—now she might have been happy with Dr. Alexander. If she had a child, she would never be lonely. But she did not have one. And Adam—his work for the Project, his houses, even a degree in architecture, were more important to him! Why should such a man even bother with a Wife? He could save money there, too, if money was so important! And it did seem to be. Next day Ann took up the dreary routine of her days, thinking ever mors Utterly of how different everything would be if there were a child in the little apartment Resentfully she washed Adam’s khaki pants, his shirts, her own dresses—lt made no difference whs* she cooked, and she didn’t car* when Adam came or went She had nothing to talk to him about or be hippy about, and when a woman can’t be happy with her husband she gives vent to ugly flashes of temper as much at her own behavior as at his. She wants neither to please, nor to be pleased. And she did not please Adam those days. Sometimes he argued with her about the way she refused to adjust; she wouldn’t sc much as drub the way others did “out here." ' “You may be too short for jeans and things,” he admitted, “but you always look so darned dressed up! Hats and gloves . .." It was Saturday morning again, and he and Ann were preparing to gd to the Courthouse together on some business connected with their new house, an easement on a bit of land they wanted so as to decrease the grade of their entrance drive. • Ann wore a Glen-plaid suit, and a white hat tilted to one side of her head. It was the hat she had made tor herself in Kennerly and which Adam had admired — then. “I can rcrtiember a time when you thought 1 dressed all right.” “It’s Just that out here ..." he said unhappily. “Now take that girl over there.” They were walking along the narrow street As In many places, there was ho sidewalk. But Ann looked at “that girl." She had no hat, and her make-up was extensive. She wore a loose bright red coat over a slim gray skirt A handaore leather purse hung from one wrist Ann knew exactly what Adam meant—a casual, expensive air. “I don’t have a red coat," she said stiffly.

(INS) — Federal and state experts today studied the situation in the Fort Branch, Gibson county area where sleeping sickness has claimed six lives. They were Dr. E. Russell Alexander of the U. S. public health service office at Atlanta, Ga. and Dr. Albert Marshall of the Indiana state board of health. The outbreak of encephalitis has hospitalised 12 persons, including three children. The health officials aid the disease germs were born by hordes of mosquitoes. Engineers sprayed streets, alleys and homes with DDT, lindane and chlordane and spread oil on streams and ppnds to kill the insects. Cases have been reported in Gibson. Posey and Vanderburgh counties and in one Kentucky county. There have been two previous serious outbreaks of sleeping 'sickness in the nation. More than 1,000 cases were reported in St. Louis in 1933 and 49 at Yakima Valley, Wash., in 1942.

Polio Expert Discusses The Salk Polio Vaccine

(Editor’s note: This is the first of a series of five articles on what parents should know about the Salk polio vaccine. Under Dr. Van Riper's direction the National Foundation sponsored the re Aar ch development of the vaccine and he is in charge of the Foundation’s program for .vaccinating children in the first and second grades of school.) By DR. HART E. VAN RIPER (Medical Director, NFIP) You have had polio. Unieaa you are one of those exceedingly rare adults who are susceptible to polio paralysis but who, purely by chance, have gone through childhood without being infected — you certainly have had polio. The virus has invaded your system but was out-maneuvered before it caused any lasting damage. Chances are, moreover, that you - have had polio more than once. Your doctor hopes so, at least. He also hopes that the same thing has happened to your children. Shocked? You shouldn’t bo. If you are like the great majority of people, what you had was nonparalytic polio; and if the virus was introduced to you without the accompaniment of major aches and pains, you had the form of *non-paralytic polio known as a “silent infection.” ’ t When the doctor hopes your e children have been safely through x a series of silent infections — real polio, mind you, but without illness and without paralysis — he is wishing all the beat for them, 1 (or this means they are protected 4 naturally against the paralyzing I power of at least one of the three types of polio virus and possibly s against all. 5 A polio infection is not something that happens only to a few '• thousand individuals each year, 8 leaving them paralyzed. It happens d to almost all of us, leaving in most h cases no disability whatever, and d usually without even making us 8 ill — an infection that sooner or later reaches nearly as many ipeoII pie as the common cold. This, for the parent seeking a P better understanding of the vaccine developed by Dr. Jonas E. 8 Salk with March of Dimes support,

is vital fact number one. It is important to remember that in time of polio epidemic, for every person who comes down with the disease there may be a hundred or more in the same community who are carrying the virus. What does "getting Polio," ,n the sense used hero, mean? Why, if almost everybody gets it, doesn’t everybody come down with symptoms, even go to the hospital and possibly come out crippled? When the polio virus entered your system to establish even temporary residence it had to find a cell in which it could live and reproduce. But en route, ft had to travel, very briefly, in your blood stream. Had it not been successfully challenged in your blood, within a matter of hours it would have found its way to a nerve center with its ' paralyzing power intact. —...-• But what happened was this: Small particles in your blood, known as antibodies, met the polio virus in your blood stream, “ran interference" for you and destroyed the power of the virus to paralyze. Most human beings have antihodjMi_and also are able to produce more of them when necessary. More are needed when there is a virus invasion of your body. Thus the presence of virus triggers the making of antibodies. Non-paralytic polio does this, whether it makes you sick enough to go to the hospital — as occasionally happens — or remains a silent infection. If the system doos not •“trigger" — that is, if it lacks the ability to create antibodies — rapidly enough, paralytic polio may result. The Salk vaccination is not an infection. It introduces nothing into the human body that can do it any harm. What it does accomplish is to provide—for those who need it—extra help in creating antibodies. How it does this will be the subject of the next article. Santa Fe — Some tribes of the Pueblo Indians live on land grants in New Mexico that date back to the Spanish crown.
