Better Health

THE modern treatment or tu-
i berculosis has advanced along
many lines that do not have
strictly 10 do with the actual
medical treatment.
These concessions to the fact
that the tuberculous patient is a
human being, has mind and
needs something TO occupy 1T
during the process of cure.
They are psychological and
humanitarian in scope.
DEST is still the essential fea-
~ ture of tuberculosis treat
ment. whether there is also some
surgical manipulation such as
pneumothorax done or not.
And rest In tuberculosis treat
ment really means rest.
1t means rest in bed for at
least the first six months every
day. both day and night, and
perhaps practical rest with linn
tied activity for year or more
after that.
Now you can read just so
much, even If you like to read.
And you can knit or play soli-
taire just so long before your
mind begins TO get fuzzy.
So the rest becomes quite a
burden.
In fact, in the old days the
prospective patient dreaded the
rest more than he did any other
feature of the treatment.
And when he got started to
resting. he didn't relish il any
better than he did in the antici-
patton.
DUT every hospital for the
- care of the tuberculous in
valid now has special workers
whose sole duty it is to make
the enforced rest profitable and
free from boredom.

 "Yes," said Nancy.
 "Ats a grill You put us-you got a closet eh? Clothes closet, maybe, where we won't be seen and we can ' still watch? Okay then, everything's jake, see. You git the dough Wednesday night, before we leave. No harm done. l Nobody ever knew it. You can salt the money down, scatter it, do what you like. Sure. Later you and me, hunh? Sure, baby. Don't forget 5 o'clock Wednes- day. Slip us in.'
 He broke of with low laugh of victory and Blythe saw he would start back down. She heard Nancy say "All right" once more; heard the word with quick, stab- ping horror, then silently fled. If Blythe had been in mental turmoil yesterday, she said to her self, she was nearly insane now.
 Sobbing quietly, but hysteri- cally, she scooted along the privet hedge, past the taller shrubbery and through the first tunnel that led to the top of the stadium.
 Up there nobody was In sight, here in the middle of Monday morning. She fled without reason ing about it. She just knew she couldn't go back to Pops office and wait for the business callers, or be there when Nancy Hale came in. Too much inside herself was like a hurricane. She had been snooping and - in common with most snoopers - heard only something which built distress.
 The great stadium yawned in its emptiness now like some gi- gantic dragon. At least it seemed horrifying to Blythe. Everything in fact. seemed horrifying. Nancy Hale. That brassy man. The war Life in general
 She was half running along a row of seats, climbing as she ran without direction. She came alongside the press box. Against the stadium, in the booth was cozily small, like an attic nook or 8 hall closet to which scared little child might run and hide. Blythe ducked in. Sure enough, the colo wind was off her in here. The glassed room, touched by Noyem' Der sun, was even warm. In g moment she was leaning on the reporters long front table, crying in utter abandon.
 That complete breakdown lasted quarter hour or so, then ebbeo away. The isolation here atop the stadium had been a blessing; and as tears can be, the complete give way them had been needed relief, Presently she was sitting erect, staring down at the lime' striped field and breathing nor maily again. But her despondencs was deeper than ever and more bitter.
 So friendship, sacred to decent folk, had been made a bloody sac' riflee.

 Afraid she would start crying again, Blythe ground her teeth in sheer anger. Anger at Nancy and at the sardonic, sneering things Fate can do.
 She ceased trying to put all the pieces of her puzzle together. Still missing were the parts about Pops anger in his office last week when she surprised him. Still unan- swered were quest'ons aN"''t +''"t fat envelope in his desk. She had definite lunches now -al.t thought" she knew! But she would have to reason all that out later, or solve it in another way perhaps by going frankly to Pop himself when he should again be well and out of bed.
 Right now, the spectacle of Nancy Hale's perfidy outshone everything.
 It was incredible! Nancy, pretty as a picture, sweet as pie. Turn ing traitor like-like-no, worse than Benedict Arnold! Benedict Arnold at least did what he thought was right, history shows. He still risked his life fighting even though for Americas enemy in that distant day
 But Nancy Hale had listened to ] the lure of money and nothing I else. And this same Nancy was the girl who had made a fool of Blythe.

Blythe Miller thought the world would surely explode. This drama, here on the stairs, just couldn't be! It was like lurid novel. Or Glass B epic down on one Of the slde street third-run movie houses. It wouldn't have surprised her II some orchestra had started mood music behind scenes, as on the radio: or if everybody had sud- denly broken 1t and laughed, as the cadets did when they got to clowning.
 But no, this was real! Blythe knew all too surely that Nancy Hale and the brassy-voiced gent upstairs there were characters not from a story but from real life one of them had just finished his main speech and cued the other She waited breathlessly for Nan cy's response.
 It came slowly. You mean Nancy remained calm, however "that you want me to drug Norman Dana and Duane Hogan. So they can't play good football and win the game. You want Lincoln Field to lose"
 "'Ats 1t! You said it right sister, Yea-a-a-ah! You're smartl" .,,

the pernicious principle Of the corps
delite.
Ever since the Nazi regime began
its reorganization and expansion of
the German Army in 1893, the very
| best officers and men have been
constantly weeded out of the mass
of the army for the benefit of the
armored divisions, the air infantry
parachute units, the mountain divi-
sions and certain units of the SIS.
All these troops have been in the
forefront OF the fighting and have
suffered disproportionately heavy
casualties. In order to fill the gaps
in their ranks, there has been a con-
stant drain on the remaining units
for the highest types of officers and
men, and these corps d'elite have
also had the benefit of the cream
of the recruits.
This has resulted in steady low
ering Of the quality and the morale
of the army as whole, of the regi-
ments of infantry and field artillery
which must form the foundation of
its power. Their natural leaders,
their non commissioned officer ma
terial, has been Systematically taken
away for the benefit of the corps
d'elite.
1t is a system which can give good
results only for a short time. 1t
enables a few very heavy blows to
be struck with overwhelming power,
but in the long run 1t cannot stand
up against mass army Of the DEM
ocratlc type, which continues to pro-
duce It's own leaders from among Its
own personnel.
The fact that such a system was
adopted by the Germans is one more
indication that they expected to win
this war comparatively quickly. 1t is
one more gamble which they have
taken and which they appear to
have losJ, for 1t is hard to see what
can be done now to remedy its i'll ef-
fects.
Field Marshal Rommel's Afrika
Korps Is a striking example OF this
system. for African service recruits
Of the highest physical standards
were chosen and put through a spe-
cial course at the Hamburg Tropical
Institute.
Before the beginning OF his last
offensive the institute warned Rom
mel that he could not expect any
considerable number OF replace
ments, as they were unable to obtain
any more German youths OF the
requisite standards. This lack OF re-
placements may have a great deal
to do with the fact that Rommel
has been stopped, perhaps definitely
stopped, only some 10 miles short OF
his goal.

Court Gets Order 10 Forfeit
$4,000 Bond on ATTORNEY

An order for the forfeiture of a
| $4,000 bond which had been taken
out on Harry H. Bettleman, Wash
infgton attorney charged with en-
bezzlement, was on file in Munici-
| pal Court today.
Judge Hobart Newman ordered
the forfeiture Thursday because Mr..
Bettleman failed to appear when
the case was called, and the jurist
refused yesterday to change his
ruling after Mr.. Bettleman had ap-
peared. The case had been con-
tinued a number Of times previ-
ously.
Mr. Bettleman told the court he
had been called out Of the city on
business Thursday but before leav-
ing had left note at the court ask
ing that his case be postponed.
The bond was written by Meyer
Weinstein. who will be called on by
the clerks Office to produce the
money unless Judge Newman
changes his order. Meanwhile Mr..
Weinstein will not be permitted to
write any more bonds, officials OF
the clerks Office said.
Judge Newman ordered Mr.. Bet
tleman committed to Jail and set
his new bond at $4,000. Shortly
afterward another bondsman. w. p,
Ryan. underwrote this bond and Mr..
Bettleman was freed.
The attorney is charged with
embezzling $1,000 from Katie G.
Martin, q client, who had been
awarded $500 by District Court
for injuries she received IN a traffic
accident,
