HOLLYWOOD-It looks like
a first rate feud again between
Judy Garland and Deanna Dur
bin, whose careers have paral-
leled ever since they crashed
Hollywood together.
They married at about the
same time, divorced at the same
time, switched from singing to
high drama at the same time,
and remarked again at about
the same time. Now they're both
going to have babies. When
Judy heard about Deanna's date
with the stork, she commented:
"Gosh, can't l do ANYTHING
by myself"
Now that Betty Hutton is
married, we'll see if her capers
weren't just an outlet for bore
dom. Until her marriage, she
told close friends, she was the
most bored gal in Hollywood.
Now she says she will settle
down. Groucho Marx and
his 18-year-old daughter, Mir
lam, have made a deal. She S
agreed to complete her college
education and then she IL get to
try a career in show business I'M

be a comic, like Groucho. :.

Guilty is that It is easier TO get into

close friend of 7. V. Soong who
was at that time minister OF FIN
ance in Chang Kai-shek's govern
ment. This was many years ago,
and the world was then at peace.
In those days. Baron Shidehara
was minister OF foreign afairs Of
Japan and he jumped Shigemitsu
over many older heads because
Shigemitsu got on well with the
Chinese. particularly with Soong.
As a matter of fact, might even
confess that before Shigemitsu was
appointed ambassador to China,
Baron Shidehara discussed with me
the adyisability OF such an appoint
ment, because in those days some

mitsu liked China better than ia

any other country better than his

piled as well TO Americans who

why all politicians everywhere are

In that season, they can get away

And so ! throw my mind back TO
years Of conversation with Shige
mitsu. He IL was who once told
me that unless China and Japan
back in the late l920's, found for
mula for peace, Japan would be In
volved in war and that no wal
could benefit Japan. His theory
then was that II Japan could have
another half century of peace she
would become in reality one of the
hightiest nations on Earth; that
II Japan were forced to fight
major power, no matter who won
the ostensible victory, Japan would
be weakened beyond recognition.
This view was also held by Baron
Shidehara who was stabbed when
the current madness began.
What I have not understood. not
liking to get such information sec

is because while they run the show,

Your Health,
Diarrhea May be

80 Enra1ag


of Causes
BY HERMAN y BTNDESEN. N. D
THERE ARE a lot Of miscon-
ceptions about diarrhea in chill
dren. For example, some parents
have the idea that all infants and
small children normally should
have several loose bowel move
ments each day even when en-
tirely we'll Some think, also that
constipation even Of the mildest
type, such as the passage Of one
small firm stool a day, is unnat-
ural and may cause such symp-
toms as irritability, poor appetite
and loss Of weight and even con
vulsions. Also there is the belief
that diarrhea ia natural IN a child
who Is teethlug and may suddenly
become more severe when a tooth
- being cut. Since teethlng goes
on from the sixth TO the thirteenth
month Of life, parents during this
period will always have something
on which to blame the diarrhea.
According TO Doctor Louis X.
Diamond of the Harvard Medical
School, dIarrhea in children may
be due to On infection. ~ NAL
formation. Of the bowels, 81 a
condition called tibrosiS Of the pan
creas, t4) allergy or oyersensItiv-
ity, and co. a disorder known as
celac disease.
Infection is the most common
cause for recurrent diarlhea IN
babies and older children. fnfec-
tion may be produced by typhoid
germs, dySentery germs, and the
tuberculosis bacillus. Diarrhea
may be produced by intestinal par
asiteS. particularly the amelia. A
parasite known as the GiardIa
lambda, which may cause serious
intestinal disturbances in children.
may be responsible Infections
outside Of the intestinal tract, such
as colds, sore Threats and sinus
infections, as well as infections Of
the kidney may serve TO start
diarrhea in Young infants.
Thus. when diarrhea occurs
there is need for careful study
20 determine its source. II the
baby has fever, 1t indicates that
some infection is present. Il is the
doctors job to find lust where the
infection is located and for this
purpose a complete physical ex-
animation is often required
In recent times infections which
produce diarrhea have been better
controlled by the use Of the 'sulfa
drugs. Infections Of the intestine
are treated with such sulfa drugs
as Observation-Disclosures or sui
faguandine or sulfasuxidine. The
more commonly used sulfa drugs
may be employed when there are
infections in the no@. throat or
ears which are contributing to tho
continuation of the diarrhea.
Sometimes chronic infections in
the nose, throat, kidneys or ears
cause repeated attacks of diar-
rhea. Of course, these must be
cleared up. Sometimes minor OPP
erations are necessary In such
instances.
