ment of one of the most torturing

The malady is manifested by in

of the trigeminal nerve. It's cause
is unknown. Previous indifferently
successful treatments have con-
sisted of surgery and injections Of
alcohol to depress the nerve. The
disease often attacks old persons and
makes the closing years of life

The new treatment was described

By LILLIAN cox ATHEY,

Have you ever walked abroad or
very early morning in the spring
or autumn and seen clusters of these
beautiful mushrooms literally cover
ing the decaying logs, trunks of trees
and half-covered roots? In a short
time the sun and wind will have
dried the small white growths and
they look quite artificial they are
SO perfectly preserved. In wet
weather they melt to an inky fluid
and are not attractive.
In the genus Coprinus, known also
as the ink caps, you find the black
spored series. The spore-bearing
plates soon dissolve to an inky fluid
after the spores mature.
However, even a novice mushroom
hunter may feel he can identify
these mushrooms and he is also safe
in eating them. They are con-
sidered the most delicately favored
and the only drawback to fine dish
of them is that you must get up at
dawn to find them. They must be
plucked while they are in their
glistening gown of purity, otherwise
they make a black and unpleasant
appearing dish.
The cap is first ovate, then bell
shaped. Lovely mica-scales of
sparkling white cover the very

finally black The ripe spores are
brown and elliptical.
The flavor of this mushroom is
fine nutty one when the mushroom
is eaten raw. This flavor Is less
pronounced when it is cooked. Some
have found it especially delicious
when used raw in salad. If used
raw, only the most delicately favored
fruit or vegetable should be used
with it and the lettuce used chopped
or shredded. French dressing with
lemon poured over the salad just
before it is served.
Fortunately the ink caps are
edible and all species grow suff-
ciently large to be worth getting
up in the early dawn to obtain. The
dainty little caps fairly glow in the
faint early light and it is with a
feeling almost of conspiracy that
you pluck them, then hasten home
to feast on your plunder.

"(The Polish Army in making its
defensive retreat, is billeting military
forces in civilian communities, there
being hardly any community that
does not house some troops In ad-
dition, there are barracks in practi-
cally every smaller center and in
all cities)
Although they are ostensibly ap-
pearing to follow the principle of
limiting bombardments from the
air to objectives of a military char
acter, in my opinion, the German
forces are taking advantage of every
opportunity, without regard to the
danger to the civilian population
which may be involved. It is also
evident that the German bombers
are releasing the bombs they carry
even when they are in doubt as to
the identity Of their objectives.
Cites Attacks on Noncombatants.
There may also be cited the at
tacks made on my villa and that Of
my neighbor; a heavy attack on
modern apartment buildings in the
suburbs Of Warsaw. situated one
kilometer from military barracks;
the destruction of q sanatorium, in
volving the death of 10 children,
in the woods near Otwock: the
bombing of refugee train on its
way from Kutno; damage done to a
hospital train carrying a party of
wounded soldiers, which was plainly
marked with a red cross on the
roof, and drawn up at the un-
covered east station of Warsaw, and
the destruction of girl guide hut
in which II girls were killed.
According to the best available
information to date, the fortifica-
tions. factories and bridges sur
rounding the cities of Lublin and
Lwow are being subjected to in
creasing bombardment from the air,
although there has been no bombing
of the centers of the cities named.
1t was recalled here that Presi-
dent Roosevelt, Immediately on the
outbreak of German-Polish hostili-
ties, addressed an appeal to all like
ly belligerents, urging them not to
bomb civilian populations, and IA

Have the Germans lost breath be-
cause they ran too fast at the out
set of the campaign against Poland
and has the Britzkrieg (the light
ming war; been a flop? These are
the questions which military eX-
perts in Washington are asking
themselves and cannot give def
mite answer yet. Communications
with Poland are difficult; even off,
cial observers cannot see all they
would like to see; hence their re-
ports are tardy and sketchy. Mill
tary attaches see only one side of
the picture. depending upon which
side they are. They have shown
mostly the rosy side when the en-
emy has been beaten back-in case
of Poland-or where the armies have
made a spectacular progress-in case
of Germany. But on a front OF the
size of that which exists in Poland
there are always two sides to the
picture and the other side is diff
cult to perceive.
German Advance Slows Down.
But by putting two and two to-
gether this may be assumed to be
correct: In the last four days the
Poles have given up their strategy
of retreating to save their forces.
They have assumed in certain Sec
tors q counter offensive and in most
sections of the front, especially be-
fore Warsaw, they have put up a
dogged resistance. This has sue
ceeded. The German march has
slowed down. The German losses
have been heavier in the last 48
hours than in all the days since
the beginning Of the war on the
eastern front.
This does not mean that the Ger
man offensive has broken down. Far
from it. The Germans are re-col-
lecting themselves, getting reinforce
ments-mainly cavalry, which has
been so far kept in the background
and are likely to hit hard before the
week is over. They have undoubted-
ly lost some ground and have been
checked before Warsaw.
The day the German communi-
ques begin to talk about "inclement
weather conditions on the Eastern
front" we may take it for granted
that they have met with insuperable
difficulties.

There are definite informations

The Poles still hold Warsaw.
Those five words tell one of the
epics of war history. At the end Of
six days of bitter fighting beneath
deluge of shattering steel, the
Poles still hold their capital although
it is largely encircled by ring Of
German bayonets.
This defense of Warsaw represents
a section of the big stand which the
Poles finally are making through the
heart of Poland, at the end of their
planned retreat from the German
border. They are fighting against
time-hanging on to give their An
glo-French allies a chance to take
action which will relieve the awful
pressure of the German war machine.
A bit more and Poland may get
help from nature. Come the fall
rains and many of the roads will be-
come bogs. Now the country high
ways are reported deep in dust,
churned up by the endless line of
traffic Add water to that mess and
you get mixture of the consistency
of glue-extremely difficult for traf-
flc of any kind.
Delay Aids Poland.
This necessarily will slow the Ger
man advance and give the Poles a
breathing space Only a miracle can
save Warsaw from capture, of course,
but every day of delay is good for
Poland.
The desperate battle continues
just north of Lodz, go miles west
of Warsaw, where the Germans
have surrounded so or so thousand
Poles. 1t looks like surrender or
death for the defenders.

LONDON, Sept. 13.-When you
see group of men and women roar
ing with laughter around a table in
this glum city these days, it's worth
looking in on them.
These happened to be folks with
very little to laugh about. They
jokingly call themselves the British
Legion"-British and colonial busi-
nessmen and officials in Germany
and Danzig, who came out at the
last moment, leaving many Of their
possessions behind.
They were telling Hitler jokes
the ones their German friends tell
when they are behind closed doors
and can trust everybody present.
Some Of these, of course, are quite
obscene, like most American Hitler
stories. Others lose their points en-
tirely when translated from Ger
man. A few-unfortunately, not the
funniest ones-carry their meanings
over into English.
Careful About Children.
Making up these stories, one would
judge, is chief pastime of the very
large anti-Hitler element in Danzig,
but Of late they have had to be care
full that their children were not
listening even to the most innocent
Of the anecdotes, or a policeman
would have called the next day.
Among the "legionnaires" at the
table were q. E. Pedersen of Ottawa
and Mr.. and Mrs. A. Mathews of
Montreal, officials of the Canadian
immigration Service who have been
stationed at Danzig and Gdynia,
sorting out the East Europeans who
want to settle on the Saskatchewan
Prairies.
Mr.. Petersen got out while shell
fragments were falling in his gar
den. Here are some Of their Hitler
stories:
A popular song in Danzig a few
months ago was Itch Mochte Elm
NAL Froelich.' Literally it means
Il wish I could once be happy"
But 'Froelich" was also the name
of the irate husband who beat up
Propaganda Minister Goebbels.
Thousands Of Danzigers seized on
the popular song to congratulate the
gentleman.
Whenever a building was erected
in Germany, it was customary for
the workmen to write on the walls
I'VE owe this labor to our Fuehrer, n
Some wag wrote the same on the
fence surrounding the Reichstag
Building when it was being rebuilt
after being burned.
Popular delicacies in Danzig are
Bismarck herrings. One day, GUS
toner ordered Hitler herrings." The
puzzled waiter asked the chef what
he should do.
Take him some Bismarck her
rings" said the chief, but cut the
heads Off"
Fish-Fat as Goering.
This, says Mr.. Petersen, is a
true story. A fish peddler in Dan
zig went about the streets shout
ing, Nice fat herring, 40 pfennig-
fat as Goering."
He was arrested and given two
weeks in jail The story spread
rapidly about the city. Released
he continued to sell his fish, only
changing his cry to Nice fat her.

BUDAPEST, Sept. 13.-To more

They flee not only the German

Southeastern Poland-but their way
was difficult If not impossible.
The Rumanian border was blocked

apparently were closed.
Among the refugees Jews were
prominent, from well-dressed busi-

Jews with skull caps and side curls.

doned were schools for rabbis, where
life and instruction had no modern

| Among the Jews who fled such
cities as Krakow and Katowice were
thousands who escaped from Ger
many during the last year. Home
less to begin with, the new flight
was only a continuation.
Meanwhile, Jews were fighting in
Polish uniforms in an effort to stem
the German drive. Thousands of
Jews were among the reserve officers
called up.
Everywhere the Polish Jews, con-
stituting Poland's second largest
minority, were directly involved in
the war.
