There are a great many men and
women who have in their chain of
character one link a. fault. They
may be weak in the link of truth
fulness, politeness, trustworthiness,
temper, chastity, temperance cour-

some other weakness which wrecks
their success and defeats life's en-

must hold all his faculties under

infection and destruction. With
modern methods of examination,
the functional capacity Of each
kidney can be tested separately
and it can be determined that the
kidney that is to remain can do
all the work Of eXcretion for the
whole body. The kidneys work in
their own fashion-probably not
more than a third of the kidney
tissue works at any one time: then
it rests and another third carries
on. When one kidney is removed,
the other enlarges to compensate.

would be advisable in view of the
tendency to late eruption, to see
that they are not impacted, and
not infringing on nerve trunks or
other teeth, though in the absence
of toothache or discomfort such a
contingency is rather remote. Wis
dom teeth are probably not neccs-
sary. as is proved by the fact that
many are able to chew well with
out them, and because they are
scmi-vestigial structures they are
more liable to deterioration tran
other teeth, but if free from decay,
firm and have live, healthy ru!ps,
they will function well and should
be allowed to do so.
Flabby Muscles
Why do muscles that are not
exercised get habby?
The contraction Of muscle,
simple and frequent as such an act
is, results in some Of the most COM
plicated chemical and structural
changes that can occur in the body.
Energy is released because oxygen
unites with sugar, just as oxygen
uniting with gasoline releases en-
crgy in your motor car. Water
and Tactic acid are formed as ry-
products. Structurally some OF
the muscle cells are broken down
or at least temporarily diminished
in size. The muscle cells absorb
from the surrounding blood plas-
ma food materials. When exercise
is regular there is a constant
change of some of the elements of
the muscle cells. The fibrOus por-
TORS of the muscle cell become
har Iencd and tough. The cells be-
come larger, frmer, and there is
an increase in the number of mus
Gle cells. Lack of use revcrses all
these processes, resulting III soft,
fabby, easily firing muscle.
Health with One Kidney
Can a person live with one kid
ney and be healthy?
This is a question that thou
sands of people have had to an
swer for themselves personally,
and admittedly it is an anxious
one. But it can be answered affirm
atively. A person with one kidney
lives just as long as a person with
two. A kidney must be removed
either because of tuberculosis or
a kidney stone which has caused

Answer--Urticaria, or hives, is
usually due to sensitization of the
skin to some substance either in
the food or with which one comes
in contact (dress cloth, gloves).
Multiple sensitizations, which

trouble to cure than single SEN

Substances. Chronic yrticaria of
this kind is usually due to sensi-
tization to some common food such
as wheat, milk or eggs, for which
substitutes can be found.

Hunter Speaks in D. A. R.
Constitution PROGRAM

George Washington did not re-
gard the Constitution as perfect,
but he thought it was the best that
could be done at the time Thomas
Lomax Hunter, Richmond column

Speaking at the local D. A. r.

was a tribute to the confidence that
patriots had in Washington.
The power of the Constitution, he
added. comes from the quality of the
men enforcing the laws. and moth
ing could be more dangerous than
to rely on the Constitution itself

New Reorganization
Plan Is Sought for
Congressional Club
Court Defers Foreclosure
Sale; Will Hear New
Proposal October "a

With the recent sale of the fore
closed Congressional Country Club
set aside for 80 days, counsel for the
second mortgage bondholders on the
property began work today on an
alternative reorganization plan
which they hope to make acceptable
to all parties concernde.
The sale was deferred by Judge W..
Calvin Chestnut in the Federal Dis
trict Court at Baltimore yesterday
at the request of attorneys for a
small group of the bondholders,
who protested they would lose their
equity under the terms of the fore
closure.
Judge Chestnut told attorneys for
the petitioners that unless a prac-
tical plan is presented by them to
the court he would have to dismiss
the petition.
A hearing on the reorganization
proposal will be held before Judge
Chestnut October "a, after which, if
he approves it, the plan must be
submitted to the interested parties.
Auctioned of at s270,00O.
The club was built in 1924 at a
cost of 100000. Through fore
closure by the Acacia Life Insurance
Co.. which held the first mortgage
of s251 900, which with taxes and
interest totaled s270,O0O, 1t was sold
at auction September 4.
The property was bid in for the
$270O00 by new corporation formed
by a bloc of approximately 100 club
members, but meanwhile the group
of second mortgage holders obtained
a court order from Judge Chestnut,
which, while allowing the sale pro-
ceedings to go ahead, provided that
the court could set aside the sale
following consideration of the second
mortgage holders petition.
Attorneys for Acacia. the second
mortgage bondholders. life and active
members of the club and for the
club itself appeared before Judge
Chestnut at yesterdays hearing.
The jurist instructed the attorneys
to name candidates so he could
select a trustee to operate the club
for the 30-day period the sale is to
be held in abeyance.

More Kids

The London press screamed "mur-
der" at the announcement by the
British government of the sinking of
an English refugee ship with toll
of 293 persons, 80 of whom were
children en- route to Canada.
The ship, her name not disclosed,
was torpedoed 600 miles west of
England and sank in a stormy sea
within 20 minutes after she was at
tackled.
Of 400 men, women, and children
aboard, only 113 were brought back
alive by warship which reached
the scene at dawn-almost eight
hours after the torpedo struck. Sto-
ries of heroism and horror told by
survivors of the disaster indicated
that many lives were lost in the ter
rifle explosion which ripped the YES
sci. Many others were swept from
lifeboats or died of injuries and ex-
posture.
The children were from to Is
years old, and were the first lost in
the child evacuation movements
which have been under way ever
since the war began.
The attacking submarine was not
identified, but the tragedy was de-
scribed by government officials as
another example of the barbarous
methods associated with Nazi Ger
many"
