There's a story about a slow-go-
ing young negro in the back coun-
try of Iowa who had been courting
his girl so long that the toWnspeo-
pie began to wonder about his back
wardness in proposing. They finally
got married and of course there
came the divorce. On the stand the
judge asked the woman all about the
matter and then queried her about
the age of her child. She replied
that he was two years old.
But" she added, "he would be
six now if his dad had not been so

A birthday party of a different
kind was enjoyed by Frances Beck,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. w. Smith
Beck, on Monday of last week.
Frances has been in Emergency
Hospital for seven weeks with more
aches and pains than any of us
would want in a life time, and in
these days of conValescence most
any kind of diversion is welcomed
to help pass the day away until the
time to go home. So Frances en-
joyed the cards her friends sent her
to congratulate her on her birthday
and the presents were q joy, too.
She was nine years old and q cake
with that many candles was a real
pleasure also. She is not likely to
forget this natal day.

Hazardous Leg Today
Colonel Lindbergh faced today's
flight, one of the most hazardous
cf his trip. with confidence.
Shortly after leaving Churchill,
the flierS will cross the timber
line, where even the most hardy
tree cannot survive and only the
yellow and brown tops of glacier

be seen. There Is no human life
and lack of almost any vegetation

Of . cold desert.

linked by hundreds of small ones,
affording plenty of ding
places, however, in the event a
quick descent should be neces-
sary.
More than 1900 miles Of the
1,500-n1ile trip had been covered
by the Lindberghs today. The

Colonel Lindbergh explained
that his radio signals were prob
ably too weak to reach the wait
ing world on his flight from
Ottawa to Moose Factory. where
he arrived Saturday afternoon.
Colonel Lindbergh was worried
about his plane because of the
rip tides which race across this
harbOr. A special mOOring place
was selected to shield the plane

Has 4 Ailments
Edison is suffering from four
ailments-Bright's disease, dia-
betes, uremic poisoning, and ul-
GERS of the stomach.
A dietician is constantly in at
tendance. DR.. Howe said. A de.
humidifying machine has been in.
stalled in the sick room. Despite
the improvement in Edison's con.
dition he is far from being out
of danger.
In DR.. HOwe's opinion. as ex-
pressed today, the chief danger
lies in the uremic poisoning. The
doctor said the matter Of diet
is the big problem Of the doctors
because they have TO be very
careful in feeding the patient.
For three years, Edison has kept
himself on a liquid diet, restrict
ing himself to two glasses of milk
every two hours for ID hours
day. Consequently, any change
Of diet with a view to building
him up has to be made cautiously.
Varying His Diet
DIR. Howe said the doctors
could not give him too much
sugar. too much starch. too much
liquid, or too much solid food He
pointed out that the diet problem
has been solved temporarily by
varying it every hour, according
to the ailment most pronounced.
Policemen we're assigned today
to guard all approaches to the
Edison estate. Traffic in the
vicinity was diverted.
DR.. Howe said only after weeks
Of care would Edison be able to
return to work, if at all.
He said there was no imne-
diate danger of death, however,
and that he might make a com
plete recovery. At the same time
DR.. Howe said he doubted that
the inventor will lever be out
of danger"
DIR. Howe said he believed MI.
Edison had not been nOurish"d
properly for some time because
he insisted on q diet consisting
