Child Better

San Francisco, April ~ - (U.PO
Sergeant Elmer Truax, taken by
airplane from the South Pacific on
orders OF President Roosevelt to
see his seriously i'll only child at
Railway, N. j., arrived last night
to be greeted with the news that
his daughter was out of the hospital
and her condition improved.
The 24-year-old army platoon
sergeant, dishevelled from his long
flight, knew only that his daughter
Therese, 19-months-old, had been
so i'll from Leukemia, usually fatal
blood disease, that she had been
kept alive in q New York hospital
by transfusions.
Told by the United Press that
Therese was improved, he jumped
and shouted:
20, boy! Tell my wife that's the
best news I ever heard. I finally
had a lucky day. Tell her I'll be
home shortly. Tell her I'm coming
and the president made It possible"
His wife, Mrs Alice Truax, had
appealed to the president for a spe-
cial furlough for the sergeant when
physicians discovered Threse was
stricken seriously six weeks ago.
The president granted the re-
quest, and the commander
chiefs instructions took the serg-
cant from among hundreds Of thou
sands Of other CTS and spirited
him home.
Railway, N. J., April T.-(UP)-
When Staff Sgt. Elmer Truax ar
riveS home he may find his 10
months old baby, Therese, has Ger
man measles as well as the blood
disease leukemia.
When Mrs. Alice Truax was in
formed today that her husband was
now in this country she said:
"Oh, that's wonderful. But I
think the baby's got the measles"
The child was quarantined for
three weeks at Presbyterian hospi-
tai, New York because Of measles
in the children's ward but was re-
leased fro mthe hospital April a.

holding her own" Mrs. Truax said,

Mrs. Truax is staying at her

WE LIKE THE THOUGHT

WE LIKE THE THOUGHT
found in Emerson's "Compensa-
tion," particularly the part re-
printed in the February Good
Housekeeping" 1t goes like this:
Every sweet has its sour; every
evil it's good. Every faculty
which is a receiver of pleasure.
has an equal penalty put on its
abuse. 1t is to answer for its
moderation with its life. For ev-
cry grain of wit there is grain
of folly. For everything you have
missed, you have gained something
else; and for every thing you gain,
you lose something. If riches In
crease, they are increased that
use them. If the gatherer gathers
too much, nature takes out of the
man what she puts into his chest;
swells the estate, but kills the
owner. Nature hates monopolies
and exceptions. The waves of the
sea do not more speedily seek a
level from their loftiest tossing,
than the varieties of condition tend
to equalize themselves. There is
always some levelling circum-
stance, that puts down the over
bearing, the strong, the rich, the
fortunate, substantially on the
same ground with all others.
FOR THOSE WHO HAVE
KNOWN sorrow, these lines should
have particular appeal and COM
fort. For those who have suffer-
ed, who have failed, for those who
believe themselves wronged, these
lines are meant. Every sweet its
sour, every evil its good. 1t is
said of Stephen Crane. brilliant
author of "The Red Badge oil
Courage" that his attitude toward
life was ever one of calmness,
verging on stoicism. Certainly, he
like Emerson, must have believed
that whatever caused the pendu
lum of fate to swing in one direc'
ton, would also in time cause il
to swing in the other.

gave an historical record of the
clubs inception and early prog
ress, reading from cleverly con-
structed scroll that represented

ward into a double scroll as she
read. Mrs. William Jackson con-
trasted the clubs past activities
with its work today. Mrs. d. S.
Davis described the town site as
she first saw it and told of club
activities of the past. Three of
those who took part in the pro-
gram were charter members.
During the business meeting. at
which Mrs. II. H. Wrenn, presi-
dent, presided, the raising of war
bonds and entertainment of teen
age boys and girls were among the
subjects given consideration. An
amendment of the bylaws that
would provide for a nominating

ing for Goodbye, Mr.. Chips"
which the late Alexander Wool
colt, for all his clustering. wept
over.
FOR US, A GOOD BOOK, yes,
even a mediocre book or a poor
one is as a friend, whose meeting
is anticipated, whose presence is
enjoyed. How aptly Horace Mann
put it when he said, "a house
without books is like a room with
out windows. No man has right
to bring up his children without
surrounding them with books, if
he has the means to buy them: 1t
is wrong to his family. Children
learn to read by being in the pres
ence of books. The love of knowl
edge, in a young mind, is almost
warrant against the inferior ex-
citement of passions and vices"
Someone else said. "A good book
is the best of friends, the same

him play 1t first. When he had
