FROM’ INDIANA 2 ~ ERNIE PYLE

(OLUMBUS, 0., May 4.—Martin L. Davey, Governor of Ohio, loves politics. He thinks it is the greatest game in existence. And by game he means game. He knows of nothing more thrilling than

to go into a campaign and plan it out like a war, and when your opponent makes a stupid move

to step in and let him have it. I asked him how a politician could separate the game from the serious job of fulfillment after election. He said it couldn't be done—absolutely. He said a supreme idealist couldn’t handle a governor's job at all. He slid you had to play some politics to get things done. He said he plays politics in smaller matters. But the selection of his cabinet —he says he considers that an intimate thing, like marriage, and something not to be tampered with by political forces. a Being governor of a state is in " many ways like being president of a business egrporation, Or Shey orations. For instance, the State o io OE business, and the school business, and the road business, and the old-age security business— and each one of these enterprises invelves millions. He is bitter over a couple of political double-cross-ings he has had. And the public itself has made him a little cynical. He says that during all his years in Congress not one single voter during a campaign ever asked him how he had voted on an important question. All they t interested in, he said, was what

We Mr. Pyle

ressman had done for them perscnally. the @ i aa e was one of hundreds, and his voice meant little. But as Governor, he is at the top. He can get things done. For that reason he would rather be Governor. than Senator. 2 2 ”

Guesses He's Happy ASKED Davey if he felt he was happier than if he had stayed in private business. He said he didn’t know. He said he wasn’t a man who stopped to think whether he was happy or not. He guesses = . pe He gets no special thrill out of being pointed out as “the Governor.” But he does admit he enjoys: the office partly because of a sense of personal achievement, and partly because of pride in being somebody important. He denies any aspirations for the future, but I am sure that if he gives up public life it won't

be from choice. 3 Davey is a slow and exact speaker. » At times he uses slang and swears. At times he is almost a flag- . waver in his conversational oratory. His choice of

words is excellent.

2 2 2

Cured of Self-Consciousness : ASKED him if it was hard for him to appear in public. He said it used t® be, but wasn’t any more. He said that all the time we had been talking os wasn't conscious -ot himself we was thinking of what i 3 n I was getting of him. Biron i him use a whole afternoon of his resting-time on me. He said it hadn't tired him any. He said he had felt relaxed. Which was nice of him to say. But the fellow who relaxed me was the Governor’s colored doorman. When he took my hat and coat he said, You're not the famcus roving reporter, are you?” So 1 swallowed a couple of times, and coughed as if I was being modest, and said, “Well, now, you know, hah hah, not so famous as all that, hah hah hah . . . (Aside: “Go on, colored man, go on, say them words again.”) And then the doorman topped the whole afternoon off by saying; “When I heard your name, 1 just wondered if I'd be lucky lenough for it to actually

be yeu!” ; |

On the Riviera, in Budapest ballrooms, they were seen often.

First official news of Mrs. Simpson's honored place came through the Court Circular which listed, at first, both Mr. and Mrs. Simpson,

and later only Mrs. Simpson among guests at royal functions.

So few people realize the difference. The boy watches a ball game for entertainment. He “plays” Pall only when he gets the feel of horsehide ont ash and runs for base; The mistake we make with chil«dren is that in infancy we feel that we must entertain them. The more we do it, the less they will want to exert themselves in seeking their own recreation. r “I can't get Johnny to go out and play,” says his mother. “He wants to read all the time, or listen to the radio.” Just another illustration of Johnny wanting thrills, not of his own making. Sometimes, of course, this has deeper causes. Whatever the cause may be, it is something in himself that the boy cannot overcome, but it may be merely the. habit of laziness, let us call it, that found it easier to look or listen, than to do. ; EJ EJ ” ABIES and small children start out most nobly to entertain themselves. In fact, they grow both physically and mentally through play, or the interest motive. But so much of their tearing up, their “meddling” and their noise is put down to bad behavior that only a wise mother will realize what is happening. After.a while such a child, if too much suppressed, becomes fretful and wants to be

The very little child will find the whole house a big game. The pans to haul out of the kitchen cupboard, the bureau drawers to open and shut, the stairs to climb and the water to splash in. He copies his ‘mother, but amuses himself. He needs toys, .however, because the day will come when the house ceases to be of value to his exploratory instincts, and his imitation.

I don’t see how you can help seeing it, because certainly the show windows and street scenes reveal enough. I don’t think the bustle is here to stay, but even so, it’s something to worry about. At any rate,.I never thought it possible that some day I would be called upon to discuss the bustle as a current event. I know whereof I speak, because I remember how the bustle had me worried when I was a little boy. Indeed, ¥ spent countless hours wondering how in the world the thing worked. I had figured it out myself finally, because I remember that I was denied the privilege of examining a real-for-sure bustle. I believe all little boys of my age were in the [same fix. Wag - weren't supposed to know how women put themselves together. * be 1 Well, I still recall that 1 got my greatest help from the illustrated advertisements in the Youth's Companion. For the life of me I ‘don’t understand how they got into that paper-at the time, because, if you'll recall, the Companion was pretty strict about such things. For example, it never muffed an oppors« tunity to tell us boys that wine and cigarsts were bad

for us, but apparently it didn’t feel that way about bustles. Lo”

Mr. Scherrer

® 2 Bustle Made of Steel

I GUESS I was about 10 years old when I learned by way of the “Youth’s Companion that a bustle—af any rate, the; one advertised—was made of “blue tempered watch-spring steel.” And I remember that the reason given was a mighty good one, too. “They yield to the slightest pressure,” said the Youth's Companion, “yet immediately return to their proper shape after the severest usage.” al | And then the ad went on to say in language any boy could understand: “Wearers are never mortified by having these bustles crushed or bent into ridiculous shapes. This means a great deal to sensitive ladies who desire to rise in a car or church, without that furtive attempt at rearrangement which: is so often disagreeably noticed.” ” ” |

One Had Coil Springs

TT Youth’s Companion was full of worldly-wise - hints like that, and I still recall that I ala ways made it my . business, after finishing Trows bridge’s current serial story, to run through the adver. Hisements to learn more about bustles. I learned a ot. | |

For example, before I stopped reading the Come panion I learned that bustles came in all kinds of shapes—single, double and three-deckers, just like sandwiches come nowadays. “And I don't think I'l] ever forget the day I ran across the “Langtry” bustle which had coil springs. Nobody—at least not in the Youth's Companion—ever beat, that, I guess Mr. Hezekiah Butterworth, who ran the Youth’s Companion when I was a boy, knew what he was about. At any rate, he did his best to enlighten Us boys, and certainly he had St. Nicholas skinned, I'm sure. of it, because I never ran across a St,

Nicholas boy who knew anything about the ways of women. | -

AMoza the many ways in| which the ung of a ~ tuberculosis victim may be rested, that which has received the greatest consideration in recent years is the so-called application of pneumothorax— . sometimes called collapse treatment.

A lung is collapsed so that the. tissues may be quiet and out of use until they can heal. Such col« lapse also hinders spread of the disease from one part of the lung to another. The first of the procedures, known as artificial | pneumothorax, seems to apply in anywhere from one- | fourth to one-half of all cases, preferably those .in which only one lung, or a part of one lung, is involved, rather than a considerable part of both lungs. This method is not suitable for patients who have large amounts of fluid in the chest or for those who have had a great deal of pleurisy with consequent attache ment. of the lung to the chest wall.

In brief, the method involves insertion of a needle into the chest cavity in sufficient amounts to coms press the lung tissue and to stop its motion. | It is possible also to put the lung at rest bv cim= ting the nerve which goes to the. diaphragm. This prevents movement of the muscles on the diaphragm, and of the chest on the side concerned, rests the (diaphragm, and diminishes the amount of work in

the chest cavity. ! Another method is wholly surgical and seldom is used until after pneumothorax has been tried and has failed, or has been found impossible to use. In this method, known as thoracoplasty, there is an actual operation on the chest wall involving the removal of :portions of the ribs, thus bringing about collapse and providing complete rest for the lung tissue. In many instances artificial pneumothorax faily because it is not applied soon enough. When this method of treatment is applied soon enough and in the proper manner, patients who in previous years would have been compelled to remain constantly in a sanity ate actually able to go about their he ¢ > 1
