Views Of The Press

based squarely on the matter of public convenience
 A look at any map of Long Island Sound will show that Fishers Island, by propinquity, seems more logically to belong to Connecticut than tI New York. And there is a good deal of practical sense in wanting to avoid the nearly two-hundred- mile trip that must be taken eight months of the year when residents of that Island want ot visit the Town Hall in Southold, of which Fishers Island is now part.
 Perhaps if the early Connecticut Fathers had pursued the matter with becoming diligence when the matter was under discussion, the citizens of Fishers Island would have been deriving the rights, priv ileges, prerogatives and benefits that accrue to citizens of Connecti- cut all this time. But there is little doubt that these gentlemen were so busy in those days.
 For an average farm family to obtain a reasonable living under ef- ficient management and operation.
 This should be helpful and ben- eficial service, worthy of emulation by all States. The quiet of the coun- tryside coupled with that restless ness expressed in the old saying that fal pastures always look greener will undoubtedly have strong ap- peal for thousands of service men and industrial workers. But any back to- the-land movement based solely on this approach will inevit- ably result in waste, disappointment and disillusionment. In the words of Louis A. Webster, Massachusetts Commissioner of Agriculture, farm ing is "a pathway that should not be overglamorized."

QUESTIONS and ANSWERS Cruelty to Children

My sister insists on taking her six months old baby to the movies once or twice a week. Is this harm ful? (E. O.
 Answer-It Is cruel, in my opinion. It subjects the baby to the unjusti- fable risk of contracting some communicable disease such as in fantile paralysis, flu, diphtheria, whooping cough.
 Dampness
 Here is a question that comes up frequently and we would appreciate your advice. Do you consider - to be very damp and consequently not healthy place to live?
 (S. E) AnsWer-No sale. On the other hand in my opinion dampness has nothing to do with the healthiness of the place. Any region or place or building that is reasonably com- fortable may be ideal so far as any ones notion of "dampness' is con- cerned. Nowhere in North America is the atmosphere too damp" for healthy living. in my opinion. If in the back of your mind there are depressing notions about ''rheuma- tism" and taking cold" it might possibly cheer you up bit to study Gall it Cri" and ''The Ills Called Rheumatism"-for the former book let, inclose twenty-five cents, for the latter ten cents, and stamped envelope bearing your address. I do not guarantee to enlighten you if you are past middle age the chances are your mind is no longer capable of taking new impressions.
 The Dental Quack

 (Mrs. G. T. H.) Answer - Any dentist, physician, surgeon or trick healer who prom ises, guarantees or says he will cure | anything is of course a humbug. No one can guarantee to cure any thing. The treatments" your quack dentist hopes to sell you would be soft pickings for the scoundrel at $50 copy.

building of it's huge underground storage cave near Atchison, Kan, some storage experts within the agency are convinced the project is a waste of good money. About $1,75O,00O will be spent outfitting this natural cave with scarce prior ity air cooling equipment and work to make the cave suitable for food storage. But the fact is even these expenditures will not be able to bring about freez- ing temperature.
 Capacity of the cave will be about 2600 carloads, equal to the combined capacity of commer- cial warehouses in Texas, Okla hOma, Kansas, Colorado, New Mexico, plus the cities of Omaha, Neb., and Sioux City, Iowa, all put together. Storage people in these areas are wOr- ried sick about the future of their business.
 Last month the Kansas Packing and Marketing company, Hutch inson, Kan, offered to turn off its valuable refrigeration equip ment and take in dried beans, anything to keep operating. How ever, a lot of warehouses don't want to handle government eggs because they deteriorate and spoil other foods in the warehouse. In addition to being unable to get freezing temperature, WFA had to build new ice plant at the cave, in order to provide ice for shipping. Since the plant capacity was not large enough for summer shipping, a huge ice storage house also had to be built. And the Missouri Pacific Railroad had to construct sev- eral miles of new road to get trains to the cave.

THE BISHOPS WILL
(The Catholic Transcript

The vii lof the late Bishop Mo- Auliffe is model. In it's simplicity it reflects the nature of man who himself was essentially simple in the very best sense of the word, who always came to the point without deviation or circumlocution, who spoke in plain terms and meant fhat he said without any semblance of ambikuity.
 In its brevity it manifests the Bishops own impatience with the superfluous. AS in his will so in his life the Bishop dispensed with everything unnecessary to his pur- pose, which was the promotion of the Faith by his words and works In it's clarity it expresses the keen, unconfuSed thinking of a brilliant and balanced mind well-supported by the grace of God. In its entirety it is an example of the efficiency which the beloved Bishop of Hart ford brought to all his tasks, great or small.

AFTER ALL. EVERYBODY IS 2
 LITTLE CRAZY

Patient B years old. First doctor who examined her told her that her entire breast was cystic but that this was not uncommon. He ad- viSed her, however, to have the lump she complained about re- moved and let it go at that. She might have further trouble after the lump was removed, because Of the cystic condition (cyst means bag or sac) and hence she must watch it carefully. Then he advis- ed her to consult surgeon im- mediately |. (Mrs. M. M0
 Now, wait, Ma'am, I'm getting confused. Let's make a fresh start say the patient consulted phy- sician who found the breast had not only the lump the patient had discovered but several little cystS or sac-like Jumps, and he persuad- ed the patient to have the advice of another physician who does su- gerry. Now take full breath and go on from there.
 the surgeon recommended that the lump be removed at once. She accordingly submitted to the operation. At the operation the doc tors found that the lump was not malignant, but there were so many cysts throughout the breast that they decided it was necessary to amputate the entire breast. Other wise, they feared, the patient would have to have another operation be- fore long, and would probably have to submit to amputation eventually The report of the pathologist who examined the tissue speciment re- moved at the beginning of the oper- ation was Chronic cystic mastitis." | (That means chronic inflammation of the gland tissue in the breast or the portions which were cyStic).
 Now the patient is incoming and complaining that she had expected to have only the lump removed the lump she herself had discover ed, and she has become morbid about it and keeps reiterating that she doesn't believe it was really necessary to amputate the entire 1 breast
 Well, that's my opinion, Ma am. Every mothers son of us is bit daft in one way or few others, and some daughters too.
 It probably will not have any effect on the young Womans obses- sion what may think or say about it, but you ask for my opinion and this is it. ] think the young woman was fortunate in her choice of psysicians. I believe both the first physician, who urged her to obtain the advice Of the surgeon, and the surgeon who operated on her, gave her the best of treatment.
 Not that radical surgery is advis- able in every case of lump in the breast. But in the case of this young woman 1t was surely wise. That's my opinion. No physician or surgeon could have done better.

As matter of fact what we have denied ourselves thus far during this war does not amount to a great deal. Most of us have three good meals a day, plenty ot clothes, and a good bed to sleep in. Now that we will be asked to consider keeping the home temperature down to 68 degrees not attend conventions, and take no trips to resorts, it will be no particular hardship; at least it should not be.

CHAMPAIGN, Ill, Oct. 2T.-It
took Michigan three nstless quarters
to get going, but when the smooth
working Wolverines finally got
down to business they squelched
Illinois homecoming with a 10 o

A gangling Negro end, 6-foot s.

to Michigan's three-touchdown ex-

plastered the hard trying Illini

Ford, a second-stringer, scooped
up the bali after an Illini quick
kick was blocked by Guard Joe

pay dirt for the first Michigan
score at the outset of the last quar-

Up to that point Michigan only

Episcopal Bows, 7-6
AS Gilman Scores
Late in Contest

Gilman School of Baltimore took
to the air in the final minutes and
connected for touchdown and
extra point to defeat Episcopal
High of Alexandria, 7-6, yesterday
on the latter's field.
Dick Tucker, Gilman's southpaw
right halfback, shot a pass to the
end zone into the hands OF Rod
Boyce, who pulled 1t in just as he
was hit. The same combination
accounted for the extra point. Epis-
copa's tally was registered on q
pass, too, with Rufe Barkley making
the payoff heave to Tommy Birge.
Birge's attempted placement was
blocked.
Gilman's 6-pointer came after a
sustained drive that began on their
own 81 after Episcopal drew 15-
yard clipping penalty. The visitors
moved the ball to the Alexandrians
IS on pass and then advanced to
the 5 on successive bucks and end
runs by Tucker, Gil Hooper and Ted
Gould. It was from this spot that
Tucker hurled the tying marker.
Episcopal's score was chalked ur
late in the second period. Afte,
Gilman was forced to kick on fourth

back to the 40. Episcopal attempted
pass that was incomplete. The
losers called timeout to discuss
