Practically all the way to Julietta, the old woman held the policewoman's hand and wailed about her belongings at home. The odor in the car was stifling. I kept wondering what belongings the old lady could possibly "have that were worth anything. In the course of the old lady's garbled conversation, we found out she had a piggy bank with an unAdetermined amount of pennies in ft. It was in a gunny sack in the bedroom closet. The policewoman succeeded in convincing the aged woman that it would not be stolen. $n \

Money for Old Age

AT JULIETTA admittance papers were signed. The policewoman unwrapped four small bundles of papers from-the old woman's legs. In one there was a pension check. The old man turned in a pocket purse containing $26.00, ; “I'm saving that for my old age,” he said. He gave his age to be 86. His wife didn’t remember her age but her husband thought it was 44. That was obviously wrong. Julietta attendants wasted no time in figuring

"out the agenda for the cotiple. First, hot food .and

then as soon as possible a hot bath. Personal clothing would have to be replaced. The policewoman received receipts for personal effects.

about being a candidate,” Rep. Hall retorted. He] was getting sore; his fellow Republicans were beginning to squirm. The Democrats were enjoying themselves. Bang. Rep. Hall's three minutés were up. “This is a very interesting discussion,” suggested Rep. John W. McCormack of Dorchester, Mass, who used to be the leader of the majority when that consisted of Democrats. “I move that the gentlemen be allowed five minutes more.”

Mr. Halleck Steps In

SPEAKER JOSEPH W. MARTIN JR. the North Attleboro, Mass, newspaper publisher, listened carefully for objections, but heard none. Rep. Hall got his five minutes more. “I. thank the gentleman,” he said, bowing in Mr. McCormack’s direction. “I believe the sun is rising “or the Republican party.” . A Democratic congressman, so newly arrived that nobody in the press gallery recognized him, made a crack about. the garden variety Republicans not knowing much about what the Republican big-wigs intended. Rep. Hall said, yes, he supposed he was a garden variety Republican: Other congressmen tried to join the fray. - 4 Rep. McCormack was seeking to sprinkle a little oratorical gasoline on the blaze when Mr. Hall's five minutes ran out. In the nick, the curly-haired Rep. Charles A. Halleck of Ind., Republican leader, shouted quickly: “I move the house be now adjourned.” Republican ayes drowned out Democratic noes. “The ayes seem to have it,” intoned Speaker Martin, “The ayes have it.” Bang. Rep. Smith got out of there. I don’t know whether he looked dumfounded at what he had started, or merely poker-faced. Keep a close eye (adv.) on these precincts for further official word on who'll be the next President.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8~What ails Babe Ruth may be as much of a question to his physicians as it is to the millions of his admirers eagerly watching for eath hospital bulletin. The facts that six specialists were called in consultation and that no definite diagnosis has been announced suggest that the physicians were notable to determine the cause of the “intractable pain” from which the home run king was reported to be suffering. Intractable pain in the head might be due to a "brain tumor. That seems unlikely in view of the type of operation performed on Mr. Ruth. The opération consisted in tying off ‘one of the main arteries on the left side of his neck. - Ligation is the name for this operative procedure, and its use suggests ‘that Mr. Ruth might have been suffering from an aneurysm. An aneurysm means literally the widening out of an artery due to weakening of its middle coat.

Aneurysms May Call Paralysis

SOMETIMES THE whole circumference of the artery ig weakened and more. or less symmetrically dilated and sometimes only one side of the artery gives way, forming a little sac. This sac becomes filled with blood. Aneurysms may ‘cause pain and even paralysis from pressure on nerves. The first sign noticed is usually ga low, pulsating swelling in the course of a

h4 large blood vessel. Often a thrill can be detected

and a blowing sound, called a bruit, may be heard with a stethoscope. nS Ligation is one of the methods of treating aneurysms. The object of treatment is to divert the current of blood from the sac. When the artery is tied off, other blood vessels take on the job of supplying blood to the affected region. %

18th Century Discovery

JOHN HUNTER, famous English surgeon of the 18th Century, discovered this when he ligated one external carotid. artery in the neck of a deer. He believed the growing antler on that side would be deprived of blood and wither. . To his surprise, the antler was abundantly suppMed with blood and continued to be well nourished. This| discovery led Dr. Hunter to the revolutionary step of ligating the blood vessel for treatment of aneurysms in patients. Whether Babe Ruth suffered from aneurysm of one of the arteries of his neck or the base of the brain is not known. When I asked this question of his ‘surgeon, Dr. Hippolyte Wertheim. he said he had “no comment” to make. In this, of course, he was adhering to the tradition of ethical physicians not to reveal professional secrets. Ligation of an artery might be performed to relieve pain, even in the absence of an aneurysm. Tying off the artery would relieve the pressure and pulsation

can help our relations with Russia, believes Dr, Gardner Murphy of the College of the City of New York. First step, suggests the physhologist in the journal of social issues, is reliving the Soviet’s world War IT experience as if it were our . own. Substitute, he urges, ‘Americans for Russians, including the Nazi invasion of ap Oklahoma-Nebraska-Kansas line, corresponding to the Stalingrad-Caucasus lie of 1942. “Clearly, we cannot help Russia

to understand us and ‘our desire for

peace unless we | ourselves can

understand her,” he points out.

To convince Russia that we want peace, Dr. Murphy ‘urges a fourpoint program; . “a: matter not of our words but of our acts.” The psychologist's four points are: ONE: A génuine struggle to understand and support democratic and ‘peace-loving forces both at home and wherever we have property overseas.

TWO: A willingness to discuss everything, even when our “vital interest” are at stake. :

THREE: An obvieus determination to make a demonstration that it can work without huge armaments, military threats and overseas expansion,

FOUR: A willingness to forego every step which looks to the Russians like a threat to their existence. These points, explains Dr. Murphy, “have a very direct relation to the pyschology of Russian atti-

budes towards ourseives.”
