WHEN I was kid in school
w we used TO chronicle cur
rent romances in our set by
writing on the walls of various
places such rapturous lines as
"Potsy Loves Mary" "Gooseface
is Minnie's Fellow" and How
About 1t, Annabelle?"
We used up lot of chalk in
these efforts and also carved
lot of fairly expensive wood
work. Although the material
was invariably spicy, and made
excellent reading, it was not
what you call real literary art.
But the school children of to-
day seem to have progressed.
They don't record their ro-
mances on fences. They send
them to the newspapers!
One Of our most distinguished
local publications has a corner
devoted ito this topic every
week. Under the heading Teen
Topics Roundup" ii presents the
current gossip from our high
schools, written-and I presume
edited. although sometimes this
seems doubtful-by the students
themselves.
The other weekend the coll
lumn was conducted jointly by
two pretty young damsels, Kitty
Adams and Louise Gardiner.
They wrote with great dash and
verse-and. IL they are to be
credited. their schools are prac-
tically busting out all over
with love-love-love.

The entire transaction may he

out OF taxes.
But that is not all. Gov. Leh-
man asks for 81 800. .000,0 900 for
UNRRA. OF which the United

inE. this IS 10 be- IN addition 10
the $3.50. 100000 this country has

The program for the relief

In addition. the army reports
that il is releasing 528, ,3S2 motor

No indication is given in the

for Junk or for free.
In the end. maybe here will
be a bookkeeping transaction
In addition, there is the
Export-Import Bank which is
now working on loans TO France,
Belgium and the Netherlands.
The French plan calls for a
loan Of S240 900, ,000-a mere
bagatelle.

Our principal debtor is our

Those are the facts. What
we have To decide is how far we

Herbert Hoover suggests a

cluding transactions among the
components OF the British en-
pire.
That is pertinent proposal
because in FIVE years we ought

Meanwhile, we might give our
friends a reasonable stake-but
no reasonable stake can mean
syphoning of our surpluses or
placing us in a disadvantageous

KIDNEY stones differ greatly
IN in their chemical makeup.
but all OF them are composed
OF salts present in the kidney
excretlorts. Before -a-kIdncX
stone can form, there must he
some abnormal condition pres
ent in the kidney.
Probably the most important
single cause for the formation
OF kidney stones - the condi-
ton in which the kidney is put
ting out secretionS which are
overloaded with a single type Of
salt. For example, there is a
condition which seems 10 run IN
families. in which the urine con-
tains a great deal OF substance
known as cystlne
THEN there are persons who
Il suffer from excessive Secre-
ton from the paraihyrold glands
and these individuals eliminate
an excessive amount Of lime
salts. Both of these groups ~
persons tend 10 form kidney
stones.
A possible explanation for the
formation OF kidney stones IS A
lack Of vltamin a IN the dict.
Such a deficiency will cause
the urine 10 be highly alkaline,
10 contain great deal Of sub
stances known as ph0sphatcS,
and may lead to urinary tract
infections
In certain persons according
~ DR.. Alexander Randall OF
Philadelphia. the urine IS highly
acid and contains a great deal
Of uric acid, due 10 a disturb
wee in the action OF the liver.
!ch persons also tend 10 form
stones composed of uric acld.
Some stones are made up Of
substances known as oNalates.
Or. Randall thinks that these
persons have some digestive
disturbance and that they eat
foods which contain excessive
amounts of oXalates.
There is also a theory that
infections Of the kidneys may
be responsible for the forna-
ton OF kidney stones. However.
there is no definite evidence to
prove this idea.
