More candidates are announcing about every week and several more Democrats are studying the situation. You can bet however that we’ll have some red hot contests, which is the way it should be. o o— Shoppers of this area are urged to read the advertisements every day in the Daily Democrat. You'll find the best buys at the best prices and over a period of a few months you’ll be the winner in dollars saved if you trade in Decatur. o o The President is plarmifrganother vacation in Georgia soon. This one probably will be a short one. Many people of both political parties hope that his health will soon be that he can spend a little more time running the government instead of letting the jobs out piece-meal to squabbling inferiors. Several Republican Senatorial aspirants apparently are going to test the popularity of the present Governor Handles as he seeks to desert his governorship roll and try so rthe Senate. Our guess is that conditions will have to get better fast for any Republican to win the election for the seat to be vacated by* Sen. Jenner. —-o o Here is a breakdown on the President’s budget request of almost 74 billion dollars. Fortyseven billion for national security; sixteen and a half billion for various benefits; eight billion on interest on the national debt and two and a half billion for general government. t o O— — These statistics are worth keeping in mind when Wv criticize the President for being reluctant to hold a summit conference. Since 1943 there have been 19 top-level ■ meetings and from those meetings have come 40 agreements and of these the Russians have kept just three. Is it any wonder we are dubious?

Unseasonable weather there has ruined all hopes of an orange crop and much of the truck area has been frozen out. There is a possibility'thqt California oranges fvill have to be imported into Florida, which would be most embarrasing to the sunshine state. o o Recently at a national meeting of a group of retailers, the following concensus was evident, that of all forms of advertising, newspaper advertising was the cheapest and best to place and keep merchandise before the public.

What to do with autos when thei rowners are on shopping tours is getting to be a worse problem daily. Some cities are buying large plots of ground, but that isnt’ too satisfactory because of the usual great distance to the shopping areas. This problem is one which, especially the cities will have to settle o rthey will continue to lose business to shopping centers and smaller towns.

Conned Breathing With Alcoholism New Hypothesis Is Eyed By Scientist By DELOS SMITH United Press Science Editor NEW YORK (UP)— The “hypothesis” of theory is the golden road by which science has advanced. and so don't be overstartled by a new scientific hypothesis which connects breathing difficulties, such as those experienced by people with broken noses and with asthma, with alcoholism. Dr. Norman G. Hawkins of the University of Texas, Galveston, proposed this hypothesis, and only as a hypothesis, of course. But he had some impressive evidence to back it up — evidence which he thought and the editors of the technical journal of the American Psychiatric Association thought would justify efforts to find out if this theory is fact He began with the medical records of 6,000 persons discharged from a tuberculosis sanitarium. From these 6,000 he extracted all those who had been alcoholics, and these amounted to 100, even divided between the sexes. Checked Other Complaints He checked ‘these 100 cases against what other complaints they had in common — besides tuberculosis and alcoholism. By refined statistical methods (in which science has faith when they’re applied Correctly) he demonstrated “significant’’ numbers “statistically speaking” in whom alcoholism and chronic breathing difficulties existed in the same persons. - Building the hypothesis on this foundation, Hawkins said: “Anxiety is precipitated by fear of - something- which is unavoidable, inescapable or insoluble. There is . nothing pore potent in this re- ( spect than a perceived threat to ones oxygen supply.” He cited a number of studies which showed that “anxiety and tension are characteristic signs of alcoholism ” Couple this, he said, with the fact that “anxiety and tension reacts upon the breathing 1 apparatus in a fashion w’hieh intensifies existing defects.” Fear Produces Tenson This effect has been demonstrated many times in asthmatics. "Fear of the loss of air in turn increases tension and makes - — -a U-ad ** \ -**- 1 <•

CHAPTER 26 VINCE RANDOLF stared When Marshal Bud Ledbetter and I stepped to the crowded hotel boardwalk. Ledbetter paused for a moment, and said, "I’d like to see the rope now, Smoke.” He waited there while I went to my horse and brought it back. Bud Ledbetter was a smart man, and a careful one. He examined every inch of the rope, particularly where it had chafed over the rafter. Then he coiled it carefully and slipped it over his arm. ‘‘What rope is that?” Vince Randolf asked. “Evidence,” Ledbetter said, looking carefully at Randolf. "Is that the rope that was used to hang Everett?” He didn’t wait for an answer, just singled me out with his hate and suspicion. “What nre you doing with it. Smoke O'Dare? How did you get it if you didn’t -have a hand in killing Everett?” A spark was all that was needed here and Randolf’s voice provided it. Someone in the crowd struck me on the back of the neck •.and I fell into Ledbetter. He was looking at Randolf, who had his shotgun level with the marshal's stomach. “Put that up,” Ledbetter said. “We 11 take care of this now," Randolf said. “Step out of the way, Mars&kL” “Unless you surrender that weapon,” Ledbetter said, "I’ll have to take it away from you by force.” Ijhad never seen Randolf’s face so set, or His eyes so blankly wild. Ledbetter took a step, his hand outstretched. I couldn’t tell whether Randolf would shoot or not. There was no figuring the man now, no telling, what he .would do, worked up the way he was. But Ledbetter must have known. He took-a last step, pushed the muzzle of the shotgun toward the ground and gently pulled it from Vince Randolf’s grasp. Without altering his expression, he broke open the gun, kicked out the two buckshot loads and handed the empty gun back. To me, he said, “Shall we go now ?” —“■A lane just opened up and we stepped into the saddle. We rode for a time in silence. The closer we got to the home place, the deeper my dread became. When we could clearly see the house in the distance, Ledbetter said, “I’ll do the talking, Smoke. Please keep out of any difficulty that might arise.” “Yes, sir." He looked at me and smiled. I “If there is any justice in the O’Dares, toy’ll not blame you

breathing more difficult. Eventually the victim faces the dilemma of something completely unavoidable and at the same time unendurable.” Now, couple this with another well known sact —that alcohol in many people will rleve anxiety and tension. In his cases, Hawkins suggested that acohol simultaneously relieved both breathing difficulties and anxiety and tension. | There was no suggestion, of I course, that the hypothesis could apply to all alcoholics or even to most, but rather to “some.” So] hypothesized Dr. Hawkins. We must now wait tosee if a scientist or scientists will be stimulated to act on the hypothesis and prove or disprove it. 20 Years Ago I Today O-r - ■"—» ' ___ __ - _ ~ February 11, 1938 — Fred Fruchte announces candidacy for Adams circuit judge.

As we rode into the yard,-Cord came to the barn door for his look. Then he hurried toward us as we dismounted by the back porch. “Where the hell have you been, Smoke ?” His glance was intolerant when he turned it on Ledbetter. “Who the devil are you ?’’ “United States Marshal,” Ledbetter said. He peeled back the cuff of his coat, revealing a small crescent of silver. Then he took Luther’s rope from his saddle horn. "Can you identify this, Mr. O’Dare?” Cord glanced at it briefly. "It belongs to Luther. What is this anyway ?” Ledbetter said, “Is Luther at home?” “He's sleeping,” Cord said. “Then 1 think We'd best go inside,” Ledbetter suggested. He turned' Cord by taking his arm. Cord didn’t like this, but he I opened the doqr and we stepped . into the hot -.kitchen. Ma was i bustling about, singing in a dron- ; lug voice. . She turned, surprised to see. Ledbetter standing there. The marshal introduced him- ■ self, then said, "Would you wake , your brother.

It, wasn't bad enough that I had to turn , him in, I had to wake him so he , could be arrested. Edna had been j in the room with Luther: she came out as I lifted my hand j to knock. j "Who’s in the kitchen?" she , asked. “I heard voices." J "A marshal from Oklahoma . City," I said. “Luther awake?” t “He’s getting up," she said. , I waited for him and he came i out a moment later, stuffing his . shirttail into his waistband. "Bet--5 ter get into the kitchen,” I said. , “Trouble?” j AH I could do was to nod. - 1 I followed Luther down the hall, ashamed to even look at , him. Ledbetter was standing by the door, his face serene. Cord > was moving about, goaded by an animal restlessness. Luther nodded to the marshal but said > nothing. "As a federal peace officer,” n Ledbetter said, “it is my duty to . arrest you, Luther O’Dare, on suspicion of murder.”. 7 The silence was appalling: it was painful to the ears.

rope,” Ledbetter said. “It was found in Wade Everett’s barn and I'm sure we can prove that it was used to hang Everett.” “Who found it?" Cord asked. “How did you get it?” “I found it,” I said. Didn't think I could get it out, but ? had too much pride to- let the—marshal say it for me. “And I took it to town.” "You turned in your own brother’" Cord screamed. What happened then I can only give you in flashes; that's the way I saw it and remember it. Luther stared while Edna's face turned ugly. The veins on Cord's forehead stood out sharply. Ma whined as though she had been struck a mortal blow, then whirled to the stove and flung a I full pot of scalding coffee at me. 1 don’t know how I ducked that, but 1 did, or almost did. I flung - " up an arm instinctively and had it burned from elbow to wrist. Cord had his fists clenched and was shouting at me. “You filthy Judas! 1 ought to' kill you here and now!” I think he might have if Bud Ledbetter hadn’t stopped him. He put his hand in his coat pocket and Cord knew there was a gun there. Ma was crying: her face was twisted and unrecognizable. Before the marshal could stop her, she raked me across the face with her fingernails. 1 didn't fight Ker; I just stood there. Bud Ledbetter said, “Better come along, Luther.” “He’s not going,” Cord said flatly. “Don't try and take him either, Marshal.” _ “I’ll take him,” Ledbetter said. Ma whirled to Cord. ’“Don’t let him go. Cord! You’ve held us together all these years! Don’t let him take my boy now!” “Step out here, Luther,” Ledbetter said. “If you're innocent, you’ll have every chance to, prove it” ”1 am innocent," Luther said in a stunned voice. “I swear it.” He stepped around Edna, fending off her grasping hands. “I've got a gun in my room,” Cord said.. “Don’t make me de- .. .. fend my brother.” now had Luther by the arm and was backing toward the door, while from the yard came the drum of horses approaching. Cord wheeled: he was going after his gun and Ledbetter knew it. “Go to the barn,” he said to me quickly. “Get a , horse for Luther and never mind the saddle.” “Ma rushed out and grabbed Cord’s arm. ‘l*don’t Want yon killed! Tou’re my man. Cord, my grown-up man. rd die without you!”’—the story continues here tomorrow.

From some places the aurora appeared to be a steady, bright glow, cherry or fire red. At others, streaks of green arid white light were visible also. •‘lt was the most spectacular aurora borealis I have eyir seen in 20 years as an astronomer,” reported Gerald P. Kuiper, director of tiie University of Chicago Yerkes Observatory at Williams Bay, Wis. James S. Pickering, assistant astronomer of the Hayden Planegarium in New York, said he had ‘‘never seen such complete redness” in the northern lights. The U.S| Weather Bureal said the lights were seen over most of the United States and as far South as Veto Beach, Fla. Normally the aurora is sighted only in northern latitudes, but scientists said cold weather and dry clear air made it visible over unusually wide areas. - TOMdRRdW TOT’S DAY AT Edward’s Studio Don't Neglect Slipping FALSE TEETH Do false teeth drop, slip or wobble when you talk. eat. laugh or sneeze?
