Infections in TonsiIs Cause Joint Trouble

focus or an abscess-is responsible for the joint trouble, and if so, whether the major operation (ton- sillectomy) will make the patient better or worse, or whether 1t will have no effect at all.
 If were your doctor you would not be subjected to the hazards of tonsillectony unless l believed you had cancer or some such malignant condition in your tonsil. I'd plump for electro-coagulation of the sep tic focus if you were old enough to cooperate, or of the minor office op- eration tonsillectomy( clipping or slicing of the infected portion of the tonsiD under local anesthesia if you were too young a child to co-operate-as a patient must CO., operate with the S:ntist, fer ex- ample, for extraction of a tooth.

PurpleLipS LS For ExOticS Only
 By ALICIA HART
 NEA Staff Writer

The danger of a two-dark lip- stick on young girl whose back talk to teacher or mother Is But I've got on practically NO make up, is that neither Is convinced.
 She can be right as rain, but somehow glaring flash of deep color on her lips gives the wrong Impression.
 Those people who can wear the dark red and purple shades of lip- stick are women of exotic coloring whose entire makeup and dress are as sophisticated as their rouge. Not able to qualify as one of these is the young girl whose best make. up Affects are the natural ones and whose dress is the most appealing when 1t is simple and youthful.
 The best choice of lipStlck shade to clinch this effect is a clean, bright red or Q flower fresh pink. Even fush!a shades are ruled out by makeup counsellors who give teen-age advice.

Upon the question of the relation of enlarged tonsils, infected tonsils and repeated attacks of acute sore troat or acute tonsillitus, I defer to Q real authority, Albert D. Kaiser, M. D.
 pr. Kaiser is famous for his stud- ies of this question and his records of the cases of thousands of school children in Rochester, N. r., over period of ten years.
 Among 28,O00 school children whose tonSils had not been removed $40 had rheumatic fever Sometimes called infiammatory rheumatism or acute infectious arthritis). Among 10000 school children whose tonsils had been removed S80 had rheuma- tic fever.
 From this and other studies de- scribed in his book "Children's Ton sils In and Out" Gippincott 'S0 pr. Kaiser still favored tonsillectomy- removal of tonsils--aS an operation that offers some hope of escape from rheumatic fever", yet he adds thta "the serious complication of rheumatic carditis" Involvement of the heart) lis as likely to develop in children with rheumatic fever whose tonsils are out as in those whose tonsils are still present."
 Perhaps I am a bit too conserva- tive about this question, but I must say l can't understand why Dr. Kaiser still favors the radical oper- ation (tonsillectomy) after careful weighing of the evidence, pro and con, he presents-the most substan- tial evidence we have, I think, and of course 1t outweighs any offhand guesses or estimates made by phy- sicialls, surgeons or throat special ists in the heat of debate.
 When 1t comes to the relation of infected tonSils to rheumatism or joint trouble in older persons, that, too must leave to the judgment of the physician who knows the pa- tient's condition. Here again I am bound to say that in every instance 1t Is at best only bet that the focus of inf2ctHn" In the tonsil- If the tonsil contains such a septic

B. D. Chaney of Jackson Heights, N. Y, tells me that he ran across today's hand in Seattle and had a lot of fun with 1t. Actually 1t is an old hand and has appeared in this column before.
 I have not wasted any time in the bidding. I do not recommend the jump from one heart to seven hearts, and think that North should bid three diamonds over one heart; but in order to get down to the play we will get into the seven- heart contract quickly.
 With the club king opening, how would you play the hand to make Seven-odd?
 Do not make the mistake either of trumping the club in dummy or of discarding one of the spades.
 You must throw away a diamond and win with the ace of clubs, lead small heart Sto the jack, trump the three of spades; lead another heart to the queen and trump the queen of spades; then lead your last heart to the king, On the ace Of hearts, which picks up Vests last trump, you discard the king of dia- monds; on dummy's ace of spades you discard the ace of diamonds.
 Now the balance of dummy's dia- mondS are good.

SENATORS START
ANTl-VET0 MOVE
Republicans, Southern
Democrats Plan To Use
Price Bill To Get Parity

WASHINGTON, March 31-(P-
A powerful movement was report
ed under way in the Senate Sum-
day to use the price control extern
sion bill as a vehicle for a revised
farm parity formula if President
Truman vetoes the minimum wage
bill to which it currently is attach
ed.
Farm State Senators, including
midwestern Republicans as well as
Southern Democrats, are deter
mined not to lose the advantage
they gained Friday in rolling up
43 to 81 majority for the parity
proposal. They accomplished this
in spite of the Presidents an
nouncement that he would be
compelled" to veto the wage bill
if it came to him carrying the
parity rider.
Twice in House
The parity change, which in
wolves figuring in the cost of farm
labor, has been approved twice by
the House in the form of separate
Legislation. 1t never had won in
the Senate until last Fridays vote.
A Southern Senator who helped
plan the strategy which led to
adoption of the amendment said
he regarded the roll call on that
vote as a virtual guarantee that
the parity proposal can be written
into the price control extension
Legislation, if that is what it takes
to make it law. He regards the
OPA measure as practically veto
proof.
Enough Votes
Even if three or four Senators
should reverse their stand, he
claimed that several who were
absent Friday would support parity
revision.
Sterilization Administrator Ches-
ter Bowles completed the admins
tration's case for the OPA extern
sion before the House Banking
committee Saturday with argu.
ments that failure to give OPA a
new lease on life after June sc
would create fear and make it i'm
possible to block initiation. The
committee will start writing a bill
Iinclosed session this week with
indications that curbs will be put
on OPA.
Hard Fight
Mr.. Truman's decision to use his
veto power against the farm price
rider, even if he has to hit the
wage bill too, underscored the
hard fight the administration
waged against it. Secretary OF
Agriculture Anderson, Bowles and
Price Administrator Paul Porter
have declared it would be infla-
tionary. Bowles commended it would
add $125 a year to the average
family's grocery bill.

He said they signed only after

issued. ~
The statement they signed stipu-
lated that if attempting to escape
they would lose all rights as pri-

any treatment the camp command

He said he told the men to sign
on the theory that it would mean
nothing.
