Readers Are Asking.. . .

IS “thin blood' eal condition?

No, it is not. Catch phrases like this somehow evolve and I persist without any scientific

basis in fact.

Many misguided patients use this meaningless term to explain repeated colds, fatigue, irritability and a wide variety of other conditions.

The “thin blood” myth probably originated as a colloquial expression to describe some types of anemia, where there is a deficiency of red

Dr. Coleman blood cells.

Unfortunately

such medical myths make the public vulnerable to exploitation by frauds and quacks who peddle “miracle cures” for nonexistent conditions, like “thin

blood.” * • •

What is meant by a “stitching operation” during childbirth? Is it always necessary? The “stitching operation” is known as an episiotomy. A clean incision is made at the opening of the vagina shortly before delivery. This incision is made to avoid laceration (tearing) of the birth canal as the baby emerges. This safe and relatively painless procedure is performed very frequently, but not always. It is most common with a first pregnancy. Subsequent pregnancies are usually easier because the birth passages have been stretched by the first baby. The decision about an episiotomy will be made by your (OU64 Bar

a real medl-1 own physician at the time of

All we hear about today is how to lose weight How can an underweight growing teenager gain a few pounds? “Normal weight” depends on the age, height and bone structure of an individual. Your own doctor will tell you if your child is truly underweight. He can also make sure that there is no underlying physical cause. If underweight really is a pro’ lem, a diet of 2,500 to 3,500 calories a day should put on those extra pounds. A wholesome breakfast of fruit juice, eggs, bread and butter or margarine, followed by whole milk is a good, solid start. Lunch and dinner, too, should be well-rounded and nutritious. Green salads, potatoes and vegetables added to fish, meat or poultry, can be topped off with an ice cream dessert. Still more delectable, nutritious and fattening calories can be added by mid-afternoon and bedtime snacks of sandwiches and malted milk shakes. Unfortunately, the caloric counting must often take & reverse trend. When that scrawny teenager finishes growing in SB upward direction, today’s concern about underweight too soon becomes tomorrow’s problem of obesity. While Dr. Coleman cannot undertake to answer individual letters, he wiU use readenf questions in his column whew ever possible and token they are of general interest.

Opening lead — <? 9 West opens the nine of hearts, declarer plays low from dummy, and you play the seven of hearts from the East hand. The lead tells you that South has both the ace and the jack, so you cannot gain by playing your

king.

South wins the first trick with the jack of hearts and returns a club to try a finesse with dummy’s jack. You follow your iron rule by playing your low club. You don’t have to think about this trick because your rule does your think-

ing for you.

The iron rule is to refuse the first trick if a repeatable finesse is taken against you. Since you can see dummy’s A-Q-J of clubs you know the finesse can be repeated and that you must play a low card at the first trick as though you had noth-

ing to fear.

East of Andromeda, In Perseus, is a fine open cluster, M34. near the star Beta Persei. Interesting star fields toward the south are the open clusters of the Hyades in Taurus, a bit west of Orion, and the Pleiades (the “Seven Sisters”) between Taurus and Perseus. East of Orion, beyond the Little Dog, is a beautiful open cluster, M44 in Cancer, called the “Bee Hive.” Rich star fields for binoculars abound in Gemini, northeast of Orion, and in Auriga, just west of Gemini. All the bright stars of January are surpassed in brilliance

Jupiter will be only two degrees from the moon, which will be a little past first quarter phase, on Jan. 12. Mars and Venus also will be within two degrees of the moon in January, Mars on the 21st, when the moon is approaching last quarter, and Venus on the 30th, two days before new moon. Phases of the moon for Janjuary: new moon, 2nd; first quarter, 10th; full moon, 17th; and last quarter, 2tth.

Hoosier Skies January nights may be cold, but they also often are the clearest of the year, so with their bright constellations, they offer refarding experiences for Stargazers willing to face a little discomfort. One of the finest sights for the naked eye in the heavens is the brilliant constellation Orion, the mighty hunter, which is at its best on early January evenings. Orion stands high in the southeast, reaching the meridian at about 11 o’clock (EST) the first of the month. Orion holds one of the most interesting objects available to users of binoculars or small telescopes—the “Great Nebula. This looks like a “fuzzy” star to the naked eye, but becomes a huge mass of glow'ing gas in the telescope. There are many other thrilling sky objects for low-powered instruments this month, well worth the effort spent in searching for them. One of the most majestic is the large elliptical in Andromeda, known as M31, now nearly overhead in the early evening. It can be made out as a hazy spot of light with the unaided eye, but the oval form of the huge galaxy becomes apparent with good binoculars.

NEW ART STAMP TAKES LICKING

NOTHING ABSTRACT ABOUT REACTIONS

The Capitol Post Office Takes Issue

XITTASHINGTOX—The Post Office Department has been unyV der some pressure in recent years to make its ne\V stamp issues more impressive. When it reached a decision some months ago to issue a stamp honoring “art,” it thought it had the perfect opportunity to increase the beauty of its offerings. The new stamp came out recently. It proved to be an abstract art design, and was given a sterling send-off in ceremonies at the National Gallery

of Art.

Since then, the Department has been a little disappointed at its reception. It sold about 500,000 the first day—a little under the average of new issue first-day sales. But a better hint of its reception cams from comments around the country, carefully compiled by a department official. In general, they showed that women liked the design, men didn’t; it wasn't popular in th« East, but did well in some parts of the Mitf-

west and South.

Even in metropolitan Washington, comments varied widely. From one suburb came an estimate that most people are for it; from an adjacent suburb came the comment: “All

we're getting is criticism.”

The Post Office Department can take some comfort in the knowledge that reaction it has gotten is completely in conformity with the general public reaction to any piece of abstract

art.

• * * * • NO CHANGE—There’s been some speculation that Kenneth O'Donnell, one of the late President Kennedy's top aides w'ho stayed on under President Johnson, was planning to leave^ to join the Washington staff of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, of New York. Despite the fact that some White House staff changes are in the offing—and O’Donnell may leave—he won't go to that particular job. The fact is that Bobby Kennedy won his election victory over the great handicap that he was cnarged with being a “carpetbagger” in New York. If the Republican presidential candidate had not been so unattractive to most GOP and independent voters in that state, it is doubtful that he would have been elected. Bobby’s plan now is to become identified completely as a New Yorker before his next election contest rolls around. And he's not interested in adding to his carpetbagger image by surrounding himself with non-New Yorkers. * * * * • NUMBER PLEASE Washington has its own Social Register, a new issue of which has just emerged from the publisher. But it sort of missed some of the changes in the capital city. For one thing, the WTiite House telephone number was changed last Feb. 8, but the new issue of the book missed it. For another, it only partially has caught up with November’s elections. It got Hubert H. Register Humphrey correct—listing him as Vice President- Coo) }o elect, but it didn’t catch Robert F. Kennedy’s election to the Senate. He’s listed simply as Change* “Mr.” Perhaps as a commentary on the impermanence of things in Washington, virtually none of the Johnson White House staff made the directory.
