GAS RATION is GALLON
A DAY FOR BURROUGHS

ulations now allow men on leave or

A member of the armed forces must
present his furlough papers in ap-
plying for gasoline under the new
regulation. Ma gasoline is allowed
for weekend passes or short lib
erty.

Report 48,4O7 Books Circu-
lated And 1,O25 Volumes
Added To Collection.

The Board of Trustees Of the
Florence Thomas Memorial Library
met Friday evening with all mem
bers of the board present. Two new
members, Mrs. J. F. Jonas, whose
capacity will be that of publicity
chairman, and Miss Ruth Greenlee,
who will be statistician of the group,
were welcomed.
Reports of the work of the library
during the past year were most en-
couraging. 1t was stated that 49,
407 books had been circulated and
that 3,159 people are registered to
use the library. The report further
stated that 1925 volumes were ad-
ded to the collection which now to-
tails 4,4O5. Several hundred new
books are now on order.
During the past year several i'm
portant and useful reference aids
were added to the facilities of the
library. One of the most outstand-
ing being the purchase Of a set of
the most recent edition Of the "En-
clycopedia Britannica" which af-
fords the best basis possible for the
reference collection of any library.
To expand the use of the twenty
magazines of the library, subscrip-
ton to the Readers Guide" has
proved very worthwhile. This pub
lication is an index alphabetically
arranged by subjects indexing artic-
les and material located in the peri
odicals.
Another supplementary aid is a
vertical file Of newspaper clippings
and phamphlet material containing
up-to-date information alphabetical
ly indexed and easily used.
There have been several new de-
post stations established in the
county, in two instances, they are
located in churches. New sections
of shelving have been added to the
main room of the library where
there is also a new florescent light
which enabled the board to increase
the library hours to include the
hours of 1880 to 900 each Thurs
day evening when the library is op-
en- to patrons.
The board felt that the library
had had a successful year, that its
service was expanding and progress
being made.

The ration value of creamery but
ter was increased to 16 points
pound from IL points, effective at
1901 a. m. Sunday.
In announcing the order in Wash
ington OPA Administrator Chester
Bowles said the hike was necessary
because "more creamery butter is
being bought with red stamps at the
present time than has been allocat-
ed to civilians by the war food ad-
ministration.
Farm and processed butter will

Roosevelt And
Truman Plan
Late Campaign
Truman Says Program Is To
Shorten War And Save The
Lives OF American Boys.

Chicago, July %. - President
Roosevelt and his third running
mate in four campaigns, Senator
Harry Truman Of Missouri, are
planning a late campaign.
They are not expected to swing
into major speech-making until late
september or October.
The new Democratic nominee for
vice-president says he will conduct
whatever campaign the commander
in-chief wants. But Truman SAYS
his own program is to do what he
can to shorten the war and save the
lives of American boys.
Truman says he will surrender
his Craftsmanship of the senate war
investigating committee today. But
he will continue as senator.
Truman won the nomination for
the vice-presidency last night on the
second ballot at the Democratic ma
tional convention. He polled 1,1OO
votes, while Vice-President Wallace,
who fought a hard battle for re-
nomination and polled over 400
votes on the first ballot, sagged to
sc on the second. Associate Su-
preme Court Justice William O.
Douglas retained four votes on the
last count and six votes were not
cast owing to the absence of delega-
tions.
Wallace took his defeat gracious
ly and smiling, and he says he will
support the Roosevelt Truman tick
ct. That is what Jim Farley, for,
mer Democratic national chairman,
says too. Farley all along has been
against fourth term. He is still
against it in principal, he says, but
will bow to the decision of the con-
vention.
! Truman's nomination last night
climaxed one Of the most heated
fights over a presidential can
didate that the Democratic party
has ever staged. 1t shaped up from
the start as struggle between Tru-
man and Vice-President Wallace
who was staging fight o-the-fnish
to win denomination. Wallace led
slightly on the first ballot. But that
shot his bolt.
1t was tiny Delaware that really
started the Truman bandwagon roll
ing on the second ballot. Delaware
was the first state to switch from
Wallace to Truman. Several other
states followed suit but even then,
at the end Of the balloting, although
Truman was leading, he did not
have sufficient majority. But the
landslide had started. Some states
changed their votes. The vote for
Truman shot up and the vote for
Wallace shrank steadily. At the
end, the count was 1,100 for Tru-
man and &c for Wallace.
Wallace took his defeat gallant
ly. He claims his fight furthered
the cause of liberalism.

Navy Will Require
$4,000 Enlisted
Men By Dec 3lst

Washington, July 22.-Navy Sec
retary Forrestal declared today that
an additional $4,000 enlisted men
are needd by the navy before Dec.
81, and another $4,000 may be re-
quired by June so, 1945, to meet
the accelerated pace of the war
against Japan.
Most of the men will be obtained
through selective service. T h e
navy's call for selectees for Octob-
er already has been increased 5000
to total of 10000 men.
The planned increase of $4,000
men by June 80, 1916, Forrestal
said, will raise the total strength of
the navy to 3,389,OOO men. Most
of the new enlisted personnel will
man amphibious craft and auxiliary
vessels to be commissioned next
year.
Exceeded Qualifications
"While the war in the Pacific is
by no means approaching an end
he said, cit has been possible to
strike at Japan's inner defenses and
to bring the war to the doorstep of
the enemy sooner than expected.
We have moved faster than we had
expected in the Pacific. Additional
personnel are essential to keep pace
with the acceleration Of operations
in that theatre. Men who might
not have been needed until late next
year must now be drawn into SER
vice between October, 1914, and
July, 1915, to assure successful op-
erations on the revised timetable"
He added that it has been appar-
ent for several months that the au-
thorized strength Of 3,006,000 men
in the navy would be inadequate for
needs late this year and in 1915,
and declared:
"However, since top strength was
expected to be sufficient to satisfy
requirements through September,
1914, firm estimates of the num-
bers to be requested through Sc
lective service were not made until
major operations then pending in
both the Pacific and Atlantic could
be assessed in the light of accom-
plishments. It was not deemed de-
sirable, in view Of the manpower
shortage, to draw men from civilian
pursuits until their induction was
clearly necessary and until the
numbers needed could be firmly
established"

CHAPTER

MRS. REYNOLDS closed her
ewes to better remember tie past.
She dozed a little. 1t was strange
she should be thinking so much
about boats today. Il must be be-
cause Anne had gone out for a lit
tie sail In a "scrappy-cat" which
Dan Smith had borrowed from a
mar who worked III Mr.. Wylie's
toatyard. Anne had pretended not
70 want to 60, but it hadn't been
q very good oretense. AS a buffer.
Anne wasn't much good. You could
see right through her. OF course
she wanted to go out with Dan.
Any girl would. He made you
laugh. You forgot his shabby
clothes and saw only his laughing
eyes.
Mrs. r Reynolds sighed and
watched the Sailboat make a long
tack toward Bencni's Point. Dan
was good with a boat. although
he'd breezily told Anne that she'd
better say her prayers before
trustins herself to him. He always
had been good at whatever he
wanted to do for as long as he
wanted to do it. The trouble had
been that. even as a boy, he never
wanted to stick to anything. His
mother had spoiled him. He never
had been made to too tho mark.
But even when he'd been most in
furiating, he always had been
charming to anyone who would
yield to the spell of his madcap
personality.
Dan was still charming. He had
appeared at Miss Molly's with
Anne, saying. Il made her bring
me to see if you'd still remember
me-" AS if anybody ever could or
would forget Dan Smith. You
could resent him or dislike him
most people did-but no one could
forget him. He had walked beside
her chair as Anne pushed it on the
way home. He had made her laugh
and want to strike him with her
ca!, at the same time. That was
two weeks ago. Since then he'd
stayed on with his brother and
done odd jobs: digging, moving,
clipping hedges, any odd thing
that TUNED up. He had laughed
when she suggested Russell should

And there was truth enough in
mat, these lovely days, for her to
laugh with him instead Of boing
serious with him. Russell told her
Oan refused to accent clothes mr.

Whlch he insisted on earning hv
taxing care of the house and cook
ing most Of the meals. Mrs. Camden

hlloh. Dan said Russell had cnouoh
expenses and troubles without any
being added.
Mrs. Reynolds was quite sure he
meant Laura Laura made no pre-
tense of liking Dan. Laura did pre-.
tend to be very fond of Anne, but
actually missed no opportunity to
get IN sly ]abs and slurs at her
moth2rs companion. Again and
again the old lady banged her cane
IN protest, but Laura always a fect-
ed innocence. 1t Was even more an
hoylng because Laura had been
blunt and brusque before, but never
sly and mean. But at least she
made no further efforts to bring
Mrs. Slots into the scene. Mrs.
Reynolds definitely was having her
own wa, and she liked that. She
had declared her independence of
Laura, DR.. Banning and all. She
now insisted she didn't need anv
nurse at all, and Anne was really a
companion.
That certainly was true. Anne
had been an .dea! companion. They
had wandered about the little town
together, and the old crows, as she
called them, generally had let her
alone. She knew they didn't like
Anne and she was glad, even
though she knew it was a selfish
point of view, as Anne sincerely
wanted everyone 10 like her. But
Anne never complained. They found
flowers ard started a little garden,
with Anne planting under Mrs.
Reynolds instructions after Dan
had done the rough work Of spad-
ing. Laura only looked and shifted,
and said she was sure her mother
was overtaxing herself.
They read books together and
sewed and embroidered when they
couldn't be outside. Mr:s. Reynolds
felt no time in her life had ever
been more interesting. Anne was
always at hand, always smilingly
willing. Anne Rad gone nowhere

Dan. The old lady had heard about
that from J alf a dozen sources, in.

Laura had acted, and she .was

from the leaders of the medical
profession. The word psychoso-
matte is derived from the Greek
roots-psyche, meaning the splr-
itual parts Of a man, the MIND and
the soul, and soma, meaning the
physical parts, the body.
Its fundamental concept is that
it is just as important to know
what kind of a man the disease
has as what kind of a disease the
man has. Just as in normal living
psyche and soma are biologlcally
one. there is no division between
them, so are they in the develop
nent of most chronic disease con-
ditions. In treating them we can
not afford to concentrate on the
physical state alone. 4
"In any problem involving a
sick person." said a wise old
physician Of former times, there
are two elements. One is the dis
ease itself and the other is what
the patient thinks of the disease.
The physician can always to a
certain extent control the latter,
ever if he can't make much change
in the physical condition.
Wide Application
To show how wide are the ap~
pljcations Of this branch Of medl-
cine | review some of the articles
in a recent symposium.
/. Circulatory disorders. Remem-
bering Franz Alexander's dlctum
that psychosomatic symptoms are
not symbols of emotions, as so
many n%eurotic symptoms are, they
do not express an emotion, but
are the physiological accompanl-
ments of an emotion, 1t is easy to
understand out OF anyone's ex-
perience how the heart and blood
vessels are affected by the psyche.
B%lushing, pounding of the heart,
fa.t pulse are all physiological
accomplishments of psychic states.
Translate these into hot flashes
and palpitation and you have the
functional disease equivalent OF a
psvchosomatic state.
Blood pressure is an ideal ex-
ample of a condition where there
are both physical and spiritual
sides to the problem. Calm people
are not likely to have high blood
PRESSURE: l do not believe this Is
cause and effect, but that both
arise from a basic personality pat
tern. The high blood pressure peo-
ple are those with the driving
force and energy. To calm them
down is to improve their state.

high pressure and low pressure
groups, so in the realm Of diges-
tive disorders We find whole blocs
of sluggish and other blocs Of
over-responsive persons. They are
both expressions again Of funda-
mental personality patterns. The
extreme examples in both groups
are doomed to go through life try
ing either to hitch up or calm
down their alimentary canals.
Gastrologists, castro e%nterolo-
gists, health resorts, surgeons n
pharmacists give them washings,
poundings. cuttings, pepsln, soda
and pills each according to his
light.
Sluggish individuals
The sluggish ones are not much
interested in cooking or the pleas
ures of the table. For them the
dinner bell tolls not rings. They
are constipated. They eruct. "Oh!
pardon me-" is often on their lips.
They drink beer.
The over-responsive ones have
heartburn and good appetites. In
fact they have hunger pains, Their
intestines are forever rejecting
waste. Lets go to a night club"
is too often on their lips. They
drink anything, but secretly pre-
fer soda water.
Nearly all forms of tolltis be-
long in the psychosomatlc group.
Among the queer things that
the new speciality has dug up is
that a tendency to colds, prone
ness to accidents, suffering and
allergy tend to occur in personal
ity pattern groups.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
W. A.. S.: | have some sugar in
the urine and have been advised to
eliminate all starches from my
diet. vii! you give me a list OF
foods to avoid?
A: You do not need to eliminate
all starches from the diet. 1t de-
ponds on how much sugar you
have in your urine and how much
carbohydrate you a utilize. In
general you can eat meat, eggs,
cheese, green vegetables, some
fruits, gelatin desserts, tea or
coffee without sugar. You should
avoid concentrated sugars and
starches like granulated sugar,
bread, cakes, ice cream, pies, po-
tatoes, and very sweet fruits.
L. R.:-Would you tell me why
friendship bracelets tarnish so
easily on me? They are sterling
silver. My friends who have brace
lets like mine do not have that
trouble. Is it because ! have too
much acid in my system?
Answer: When the perspiration
contains sulphur in excess it forms
a sulphur compound with silver
which causes the furnishing. When
a doctor gives a patient a medicine
containing sulphur in the veins,
any silver ornament the patient is
wearing furnishes. Nickel ofna-
ments tarnish from chloridss IN
the pe~rspiration.
