planned to tell you today about
upteen thousand clerks going on
a practice diet OF luke warm water
as they prepared to starve for the
dear old government.
The idea was to mention in pass
ing how Congress was whirling in
circles within circles on the Fair
Employment Practices Committee
and leaving a trial of rubber pay
checks for the workers in II war
agencies.
II would have been petty good
story and l was squatting on a
stool in the House gallery thinking
about it, when. blooie! Congress
stirred its stumps IS days late and
il you read any more of this you'd
better hold onto your chair.
That is, II you're subject to dizzy
spells.
The House Rules Committee
wouldn't spend a nickle for the war
agencies, II the FEPC was includ.
ed. The Senate wouldn't put up
FIVE cents. either, unless it was.
For nearly two weeks the boys
tried to reach a compromise, while
the clerks gazed unhappily at the
water taps and worried about the
$500 900 900 that should have been
appropriated by July 1.
The House OF representatives
resolved itself (by saying, aye)
into the committee of the whole
House on the state OF the Union
and Rep. Clarence Cannon OF Mis-
souri, brought up an amendment,
which would give the FEPC $780,
600, either for folding-up purposes,
or for operating until, and II, the
lawmakers gave 1t some more mon
ey. So all right.
Rep. William NJ. Colmer OF Mis-.
sissippl offered an amendment TO
the amendment OF the Senate
amendment (you still with me?) to
the original House amendment OF
last June. What he wanted was
to chop of the FEPC now.
The toys began to shout. Rep.
Emmanuel Celler OF New York said
let 'ep not draw red herrings
across'the trail. Who Is kidding

CHAPTER THIRTEEN

Gail had the feeling that they
were standing there like two women
gossiping over trivia. She suspected
also that Aghes' insistence on con-
sulting another doctor was not so
much out Of concern for Reyna as a
stubborn determination to push
Gail out Of the picture.
A nurse walked by, accompanied
by a lanky young inferno in hospi-
tai whites. Agnes eyes followed
them.
81 am distressed about Luz
cienne," she said, abruptly chang
ing the subject. "The hospital seems
to have cast a spell on her"
Then she's serious about being a
nurses aide ?"
Serious! It's all she talks about.
She had Doctor Kramer on the
phone for q half hour last night!
The elevator door opened. Gail
gave Agnes a firm little shove, and
hurried on to the children's ward.
Little Nina Sermalino lay in Bed
One. She was small for her age,
which was six. Under heavy, tan
gled dark hair, her sloeblack eyes
peered at Gail with touching affec-
ton.
Hello, Nina" Gail sat beside the
bed and the child's thin fingers
closed on her hand greedily. What
a starved youngster she was! Hun
cry for food, of course, but more
hungry for love and attention.
Don't try to talk, honey" she eau
toned. ~ know your throat hurts.
But you'll have ice cream for sup
per. ="
The ugly little face glowed. Gail
longed to pick up the frail body and
cuddle it to her breast. She felt
more than q passing responsibility
for the child; she wanted to help
her to happiness. She had taken
care Of Nina's mother when the
baby was born. 1t occurred during
her interneship; when DR.. McCor-
mick sent her out on Home Deliv-
cries.
Nina's mother. Carman, was q
Spartalini, granddaughter of the
fierce old woman who was still up
stairs in Ward N, recuperating
from a gallbladder operation. Car
man was pretty, eager for q good
time. Though her brothers and sis
tiers stayed at home and worked on
the truck farm, she got job in a
diner and met Johnny Sermalino
there.
Johnny was q loafer by occupa-
ton, a boxer by inclination. He was
handsome, truculent and worthless.
Old Mrs. Spartalini had no use for
him, until Gail brought her the
news that Carman had been deliv-
cred Of child. The old woman con-
Quoted q one-man hunt along the
lower reaches Of the town. She
brought Johnny to the small hall
bedroom where Carman was lying,
the child at her breast. She went
for the priest. After which she
washed her hands Of all three of
them, and Gail took over.

New Methods of
Treatment Found
For Infections

For Infections
BY HERMAN NJ. BUNDEsEN, NJ. D
CERTAIN new methods Of
treatment have done much to bring
relief to patients suffering from
various disorders of the nose.
throat and ears. These include the
use of sulfonamide drugs, sub
stances which stop the growth Of
germs, such as tyrothricin and
penicillin and the use of n radio
active gas called radon.
According to Doctors Samuel J.
Grove and Arthur T. Ward, Jr.,
of Baltimore, one of the valuable
sulfonamide preparations 10 use in
the nose is sulfadiazine solution.
This solution they find, is non-irri-
tating and is valuable in treating
infections of the throat, the nose
and the ear, particularly when
they are due to certain kinds Of
streptocoecus germs.
Treating Colds
In treating colds, this solution
has no effect on the virus which
produces colds but does stop the
growth Of or kill the germs which
are found in the nose and throat
and which tend TO prolong the
symptoms Of a cold. These physi-
clans think that by the use of this
solution in the nose, the duration
Of sneezing and nasal discharge
can be lessened, that the dis
agreeable symptoms Of cold may
be cut and complications, such as
ear and sinus infections prevented.
Tyrothricin is a substance which
comes from a germ known as the
Bacillus brevis. Tyrothricin is
used in the form of solution. 1t
can be injected into vein or under
the skin. but when applied locally
IN the nose, it has valuable effects,
Just as do solutions or suspensions
Of the sulfonamide drugs. Peni-
cillin, on the other hand, may not
only be applied locally, but may be
given by injection.
Kill Streptococci
n..4 N-o.. - xu.I f.,l
that tyrothriein and penicillin in
hibit the growth of or kill most
kinds Of streptococci, staphylo-
cocci, pneumococci. They suggest
washing out infected sinuses with
solutions Of these preparations.
They believe also that these solu-
tons can be used with benefit in
operations on the nose and throat
in kesping infections from occur
ring, and lessening pain, swelling
and discharge.
These doctors have found the
radon gas useful in treating GER
tain conditions which are contri-
butory to deafness. In order to
have good hearing, the eustachean
tubes, which lead from the throat
to the ear, must be open. Blocking
Of these tubes may be produced by
adenoid tissue in the upper part
of the threat. The radon gas will
destroy this adenoid tissue. They
have found this method Of treat
ment especially useful in children.
As these various methods Of
treatment are more widely applied
in nose, throat and ear disorders.
it is probable that additional uses
for them will be found

BREMEN, Germany, Aug. II. We really covered a lot of the Reich today. We had a l0:3O show at Vegesack. about 30 miles northwest of Bremen, and went on for about 5000 guys from a bandstand in a big outdoor beer garden. It really gave us a won- derful feeling to see all those great American kids sitting there yelling, joking and laughing when we knew that just short time ago it used to be filled with Nazis and Hitler Yungen who came to pound on tables and "Hoch" and "Heip' and listen to hysterical speeches by local party leaders.
 One thing I found out, playing for these 29th Division boys: It doesn't pay to refer to them as occupation troops" When you do, they all yell, '.No, no, not us!" They are high point men who've "had 1t" for a long time and they want to get back home. We were a little late in getting away and went from Vegesack to Nordenhaven via fast jeep. What 8 ridel I've heard about German super-highways but so far all the roads we've seen are eight feet wide, are built out of lumpy bricks and have more holes than pair of pre-war nylons.

Every day our office is visited by men and women who want infor- nation and advice on their social security accounts = who want to know more about their stake in the federal insurance system. Each one is interesting but out of the many who come in there are al- ways few who stand out above the others. Each week we choose the most interesting among them to tell you about in this column = without, of course, mentioning any real names.
 Opposites Attract
 This week two women came into our office together one afternoon. It was obvious they were close friends, and obviously on the basis that opposites attract. One was the managing" sort of woman under whose guidance a church supper goes of with bang, the other was the timid. retiring type, who listens rather than talks.
 My name is Mrs. Abbott" the capable looking woman said, land this is my friend Mrs. Lerner." (The names are invented, of course). q heard about social security going to widows with children and I brought Mrs. Lerner because that's what she is. Her husband died six months ago and she has two youngsters, a girl three and a boy eight months old yesterday. Her savings are going fast and say what is she going to do when they've gone. It's lucky thing she owns the house, but you can't eat timbers."
 We explained that whether or not Mrs. Lerner could get bene- fits depended on where her hus- band worked and for how long.
 Mrs. Abbot prodded her friend. "You tell him." she said.
 My husband worked In an in- surance ofiice.> Mrs. Lerner brought out with difiiculty. "and made 9200 6 month. He always worked steady right up until he took tho pneumonia"
 . When we told Mrs. Lerner that there was no question about her being eligible for monthly sur- yIvors insurance benefits. Mrs. Abbot broke In triumphantly,
