OF the stories written in the
writer's own utterly inimitable
style, is:
There n a rule I'm the Capitol
that whenever q senator enters
an elevator he must be taken
directly TO his floor, with no In
between stops for other pasesn-
gers.
The other day, Senator Ar
thur Capper Of Kansas got on
at the Senate floor and asked to
be taken 10 the basement. The
only other passenger was . Cas-
par Milquetoastish fellow who
seemed on the verge Of tears.
obviously this had aroused
tho elevator operators sympa-
thies. He turned to Capper and
said:

A VERY enterprising young
"A lady named Mary Cav

of Americas leading military
missuses for broadcasting pur-
poses. They were Mrs. Adm.
Stark. Mrs. Gen. Spaatz, Mrs.

Miss Cavanaugh was very
proud of her roundup and un-
doubtedly will try to nick NBC
for a raise, which is all right
with me because l do not care
what happens to NBC. She also
discovered she had a very inter-
esting asSemblage.
1t was the first time Mrs.
Adm. Bradley had ever been on

recover her self-possession be-
fore II was half way over and

confided to Miss Cavanaugh

THESE DAYS
By George E.
Sokolsky


In China, Russia maintains a
native Communist army and a
puppet government which fights
Chang Kai-shek, our ally in the
war against Japan and will use
that excuse to seize Manchuria,
Korea and North China.
All this monkey business
about majority votes and a
presidium at San Francisco is
the sheer bunk. Democrats be-
lieve in a majority vote; totali-
tarians use the device of the
presidium which fixes the con-
troll in the dictator. The Rus
SLAMS have from Lenin to
Stain opposed democracy. They
started with the dictatorship of
the proletariat and ended In
the dictatorship of Stain. They
do not know what a majority
vote means.

THERE ARE certain types of
L injuries which are developed
not only by soldiers, but also.
frequently. by civilians, One Of
these is known as march frac-
ture. This is a break in one or
more Of the bones OF the foot

toes.

ger and William L. Tyler of

fractures develop because OF any
weakness Of the foot but rather
because OF firing Of the muscles
and ligaments. AS fatigue in
creaSes. a person who is walk
ing does so. not with his mus
cles in .tone. but relaxed and
tired. The weight is borne by
the bones and ligaments and not
by the muscles. This permits
repeated movement Of the bone
itself. which finally breaks,
much the same as a piece Of
wire will break II il is bent
repeatedly.
TWERE ARE certain factors
Il which make IL more likely
that march fracture will occur.
These include lack OF rest.
overwork and weak muscles.
II would not appear that per-
sons who are overweight tend
to have this kind Of fracture
more often than those whose
weight is normal.
The symptoms OF march frac-
ture include limp on walking,
swelling and redness of the back
Of the foot. and tenderness over
the point where the break has
occurred. There is a great deal
Of pain when the foot is bent.
II a person, after walking a
long distance, has pain IN the
foot together with some SWELL
