just a plain dingbat.
Now I like ego in young men.
/ think those who have accom-
plished something are entitled
to a brief spell of cockiness
even to the point Of being a
pain. although ! also think they
should come to their right
senses by the time they are 30.
I believe Saroyan had ex-
ceeded my age limit on ego
when I met him, but then he
had not arrived at his allotted
period until late. Anyway, he
did not do or say anything that
night to indicate his reputed
egoism and I felt I had been
defrauded.

TT so happens that I had been
l. reading short stories by
Saroyan for some years before
he began writing plays. He is
no Johnny-come-lately to litera-
ture. He has been training a
long time. And I thought his
stories, usually Enthusiastically
titled, pretty much gibberish.
Certainly they were formless
and often pointless. I do not
hold with the carefully con-
trived unorthodox in writing so
apparent in Saroyan. II Is a
confession Of weakness on the
part of the writer.
But nearly always there was

messed was Something for the

This M. Todd musical hit is

be fair, would have TO refund

At any rate. the Cole Porter
score is pleasant, and Paula
Laurence, Betty Bruce and the
many other capables In the cast
contribute TO q merry evening.
A personable and pretty per.
son named Betty Garrett, who
can't sing a lick and probably
can't even do q time-step,

Better Health
BY DIR. Logan Clendening

IN A RECENT article ! said
i that the most frequent cause
OF pain in the shoulder was in
fiammation of the subdeltoid
bursa which lies just between
the end Of the collar bone and
the shoulder blade.
In conversation the other day
with a sufferer from this COM
plant. he said that the doctor
told him that this was the only
bursa in the body.
He must have misunderstood
the doctor, because these little
cushions are located at any con-
yenient place where q cushion
would be useful.
THERE Is one under each
l. elbow, several In each wrist.
one over each knee cap, one or
two between the heads of each
toe, several around the foot and
one over the heel-to mention
only q few.
All of them can get into
trouble and become inhained by
the same causes as produce q
subdeltoid bursitis.
Since they are designed to abb
sorb shock at pressure points.
they very frequently get injured
and become painful as a result
Of this Inflammation.
TIVE most famous Of these
Il pressure traurnas is the con-
dition known as housemaid's
knee. which is simply an inflan-
nation OF the pre-patellar bursa
the one which is located just
over the knee cap.
Jerome X. Jerome made
great fun of housemaid's knee in
Three Men in Boat" but IL
really exists and IL really exists
In housemaidS, although with
the growing scarcity of this
species IL probably is not as
frequent as it used to be.
A fellow who leans on his ell
bow a great deal is likely to get
an olecranon bursitis: also people
who are subject TO govt are
likely to get II.
TIVE bursae of the foot are so
Il numerous because the foot
takes all the punishment of
weight-bearing and of the COM
plicated movements which must
be carried out smoothly in order
to make an efficient organ that
functions without pain.
The bursa Of the back Of the
heel most often gives trouble.
II is located just where the
back Of a low-heeled shoe hits
and II the shoe is at all loose,

Speaking of lipstick. etc, did
you read war plant worker
Michael Hatch's poem of protest
as TO the invasion OF the plant
by feminine employees?
An excerpt from said rhymed
complaint follows:
There's lipstiek in the drinking
fount,
There's tdicum on the bench;
There's cold cream on the sur
face plate,
Hand lotion on the tDreHch.
A YOUNG man should marry
IA a widow who is 10 years
older than he is.
That's what Hilaire Belloc
claimed in his Advice to a
Young Man"
Said Mr.. Belloc:
Marry a widow who II child

means.

to prolonged agreement.
Tho poet Hesiod laid IL down
that the man should be about 10
years older than the woman.
But tell you that the
woman should be about 10 years
older than the man.
"Why marry . widow?
Because she will understand
men and she will not be too
impatient Of your selhshness and
folly"

QUESTIONS, ANSWERS

z. ST. am thinking of put
ting some chicory in my coffee.
Some people have told me not
to do so, as IL is harmful.
Is this true and IL so, in
what way?
Answer-No, chicory does no
harm organically, but il will be
awful bad for your disposition.
w. d. L.: Is cancer inherited?
My grandparents did not have il
but my mother did.
Answer: You are giving your
self unnecessary trouble.
1t is probable that some can
GERS are inherited, but human
heredity is so mixed that il
would be impossible to deter
mine beforehand in any given
case whether a person was likely
to inherit cancer or not.

Shock
AbsOrher

the bursa is rubbed into in
flammation.
In former days these painful
heels were supposed to be due to
q bony outgrowth on the heel.
The reason for this is that II a
person has a painful heel and an
X-ray is made, the bony out
growth shows up In about 80
per cent Of cases.
DUT as a matter of fact II
- also shows up in people who
do not have painful heels.
So orthopedic surgeons had
TO look for another cause and
they evidently have found the
cause Of most cases of painful
heel in inflammation of the
bursa in this region.
Nearly all the tendons that
90 along the bottom of the foot
have bursae to protect them and
so do the toes at their base,
where weight bearing must be
cushioned: otherwise the heads
of the bones would crunch
against each other and create
q very disagreeable sensation.
HOWEVER, II the bursae be-
LEONE infiamed there is q
very disagreeable sensation ere
ated also.
The treatment Of all these
conditions is very much the
same.
II the pressure or irritation is
taken off, they automatically
return TO normal.
II q folcal infection is the
cause of the inflammation, that
can be treated.
Rest and heat are the best
remedies, but the rest should
be absolute and continued for
several days.

young woman named Sarah Bedell.
In due time they were married and
the marriage proved to be very
happy. His wife. a bright minded
young woman, cared little for
fashion or wealth. She joined her
husband in his dreams and helped
him win the great success Of his
later years.
Hearing from a friend that a glue
factory was for sale, Cooper bought
it and soon was turning out high
grade of glue at low price. Rising
early each morning, he lighted the
fires for his factory and worked
until evening came.
Later he bought rolling mill at
Trenton, N. j., but had trouble get
ting iron delivered. This led him
to take an interest in railroads. In
1880 he built a small locomotive
called the tom Thumb" which
seems to have been the first Amer
lean steam locomotive to transport
passengers. A few years before,
however, John Stevens had tested
locomotive and had run 1t with
success on private track near Ho-
boken, N. j.
The tom Thumb" took part In
race against a horse drawn car,
| also pulled along tracks. For time
the locomotive was ahead, but q
leather belt came loose and the race
was lost.
Long before his death, at the age
OF 90, Cooper gave money to build
the famous Cooper Union In New
York City. Tens of thousands Of
New York men and women have
found education in the free reading
rooms Of Cooper Union and through
the lectures given there.

Pass Pass Pass
West opened the two Of clubs,
dummy ducked, East played the 10
and Souths unhesitating swindle
was to win the trick with the king.
He could see that he would have
to surrender the lead twice in order
to establish his diamonds and, of
| course, If he won the first club trick
with the jack it would become OBJ
vious to West that the club suit
was hopeless. This would make it
almost mandatory for West to shift
and the only shift he could think
OF would be to spades. Unless, by
some miracle, the spade suit was
blocked this would mean declarers
certain defeat.
But when South won the club
trick with the king, West quite rea-
sonably assumed his partner, East,
had the club jack. So when South
led the queen of diamonds, West
grabbed his king and led another
club. Declarer. of course, let the
lead ride to his jack, knocked out
VESTS diamond ace and then, when
the spade shift came, 1t was too
late. South won the spade ace,
three diamonds, three clubs and
two hearts to bring home his con-
tract. The beauty of South's swim
die was that it couldn't cost a thing.
He could always win three club
| tricks by f1nessing against Vests
queen, whether or not West again
led the suit.
