"It's the truth I've thought
about II plenty Of times. You're a

you'd want any - would take the
leavings Of your life"
"But you're wrong, Burke. Please
believe me. ! do want marriage and
. real home and children"
That's what you say"
There was q strange heaviness in
the region Of her heart "Then 1t
isn't Stephen Mccormick, or q
dozen like him--that you are jsal-
Gus Of. It's my work." She was
staring, wide-eyed and frightened,
at his averted face. "You couldn't
be 80 petty, Burke!"
He said bluntly, ~Well, how
broadminded are you! You GER
tainly have only one real interest
in life. Maybe my mother isn't 30
far of when she says medicine Is q

that I'm q stoogef"

Gail left the hospital and walked
slowly across the Square, the late
afternoon sun beating down on her
head. She had just left DR.. McCor-
mick, who had admitted icily that
her hunch on Mr.. Zayle's illness had
been correct The encephalograph
had given evidence Of neoplasm in
the brain. She had been right But
there was no triumph in her heart
She was sick with pity for the
Zayles, for the man who must suffer
the risk Of brain operation; for his
wife who was waiting 50 tensely for
the news. -.
Slowly she opened the restaurant
door ana went in. "Mrs. Zayle's in
the back room," the counterman
said, recognizing her. "She don't
feel 20 good"
Gail walked into the rear. Mrs.
Zayle was sitting in q straight
chair. She was q middle-aged
woman with kind eyes behind steel
trimmed spectacles, and q patient
smile. As she looked up at Gail, the
dull, stupehed expression of her
face changed, shifted until her
features stood out stark and terri
fed.

Your Health
Heart Pains May
be Due to
Many Causes


By HERMAN N. BUNpEsEN. NJ. Z
PERSONS who suffer pain over
the heart are concerned immedi-
Ately about heart disease, and IL is
true that there are. certain heart
conditions in which pain over the
heart is q common symptom. These
include coronAry thrombosis or the
formation Of q blood clot In one Of
the eoronary arteries which sup
ply the heart muscle with blood.
and angina pectoris, q condition
which is due TO lessening Of the
fiow Of blood through the coronAry
arteries, or spasms Of these blood
vessels, OF other conditions.
But every heart pain does not
always mean heart trouble. One
Of the common conditions which
may cause attacks Of pain over
the heart which are like those Of
angina pectoris or coronary throm-
bosis is gallbladder disease. Doc
tor Julius Jensen Of Washington
University School Of Medicine re-
ports q patient who had attacks
which were quite like those Of an
gina pectoris. However, careful
examination Of the heart revealed
that it was normal in every re-
spect- Careful study showed that
the patient had gHllstones and, aft
er they were removed by opera
tion, the attacks Of pain over the
heart disappeared.
Direct Irritation
Direct irritation Of the nerves
Of the skin in the chest over the
heart area may also produce
symptoms like those in angina pee
toris. The most common cause for
this irritation is probably srthri-
tbs Of the spine. The pain in these
cases may be quite severe and
made worse by exercise, just as
happens in angina pectoris.
Another less common cause for
such nerve pain is shingles or
herpes zoster. Still another group
of patients who may develop pain
over the heart are those who have
some inflammation Of the men,
branes in the chest, such as the
pleura which lines the chest cav
ity, or the mediastinum, which is
the membrane surrounding the
tissues in the middle Of the chest,
in which the heart and other struc-
lures are located. Even in so
called attacks of acute indigestion,
there may be pain over the heart
Careful Study
Thus IL can be seen that when
so-ealled "heart pain" occurs there
is need for q careful study to de-
termine the source Of the difficulty.
An electrocardiogram or electrical
tracing Of the heart beat, should be
made, which will help to give some
evidence as to whether or not the
heart has been damaged. An
X-ray Of the heart is also helpful
to determine IL II Is enlarged.
II these studies show that, Ap-
parently, the heart Is normal, a
complete examination must be car
ried out to determine IL any one Of
the other conditions mentioned
may be responsible for the symp-
toms. Once the cause for the trou-
Bile has been found, proper treat
ment may be decided upon.

she was a good doctor, not a man
on the Thaysr Hospital stah could
deny-although none gave her much
cooperation. DR.. Cassius MeCor-
mick, austere chief Of statf, was
openly resentful when she ehal-
lenged his diagnosis of an obscure
clinic patient named Zayle. Gail
went over his head in ordering an
X-ray for gayle, and now feared

lowing the lattsr's divorce from

Reyna who complains Of feeling Ill.
She Indignantly refuses to consult
DR.. Mccormick, who has always

said. "We're pulling apart, instead

moments when we act like enemies
instead of people who love each
other. Darling -. what are We
going TO do!" Z
~That's pretty much up TO you"
he answered coldly. "The way you
keep harping somebody'd think it
was all my fault. Well, let me tell
you something. Gail. I'm not 30

~He is alive" Gail said quietly,
sick with regret that she could not
say anything more hopeful She
talked a little, trying TO calm Mrs.
Zayle, then returned TO the hospital.
In the main corridor, she collided
with DR.. Ralph Kramer.
"Hi, Gailp he cried with false
joviAlity. How're tricksr
Ralph Kramer was Of medium
height, yet he looked shorter, for
his frame was stocky and there was
a heavy SLOUGH TO his shoulders. His
face was square and powerful, the
face Of q fighter. His dark coarse
hair covered his head like . heavy
cap, emphasizing his rather small
faun-like ears.
Gail had interned with him At
the hospital, and had never liked
him. He was too smooth, too clever,
nor was he, she suspected, above
using q woman to further his am
bitions. Lily Lanahan, the red
headed nurse, was often his com
panion.
"I hear you had . lucky break
with that old guy, Zayle," he said
-I wouldn't call II luck" she said.
"Doctor Mccormick is operating
on him In the morning." he said.

ton. Suppose you'll be showing up.
too!"
He nodded and went down the
hall. She watched him blsnkly.
What did that meant That she was
out of the running - that DR.. Nc
Cormick had already decided on
Kramer for the job Of his assistant?
Well, even though is was blow.
she couldn't stand here and worry
about it. She picked up her bag in
the Office and hurried out to the car.
Reyna Thayer was desperately i'll.
And the illness wasn't, as Gail had
first suspected, the grippe Il was
something much more serious and,
50 far, Gail didn't know what.
Not once all day had the rain
come down in a torrent Il merely
hung in the air, q superfne mist
that saturated your hair and your
clothes until you were one soggy
mass.
Gail parked her coupe before the
hospital and ran up the walk, scorn-
ing an umbrella. Shed misplaced
her slicker, and the light tweed coat
she'd thrown over her gray cham
bray suit was heavy with moisture.
Normally the weather had little
effect on her. She had no time for
moodiness. But this had been .
long, disappointing and depressing
day.
1t had started at FIVE in the morn
ing, with q frantic call from young
Mrs. Henderson. The baby had the
Group. He is choking, doctor. VIII
you come quickly!
Gail few into her clothes, drove
swiftly through the quiet streets to
the small house in Springdale. At
six-thirty, the pale child was sleep
ing quietly, and Mrs. Henderson
was making toast and coffee for
Gail. "Gee, I'm sorry, doctor. Get
ting you outa bed so early. 49,"

Let us not ruin the real meaning
of Easter. We preach one thing and

as much to us as our displays Of it
we would have fine world to live

that all human beings might live
and share the same right and SUM-

let Easter have it's meanings. For
this reason the Creator has sent
forth his son to free the people from
the bonds of ignorance, superstition
and fear, that we may walk in his
path of light and life. Easter if we
accept it in our hearts, will bring
His life to all. Jesus taught His fol-
lowers to pray: "Thy kingdom come,
they will be done in earth as it is in
heaven" Why work against Him ?

Easter means that He arose<for all
men to become free. We cannot
serve Him and deny freedom to
others. Mems eternal life and future
happiness are wholly dependent
upon God and his relationship with
man is to see that all men are free.
This is the true meaning of Easter.
