to take a chance of putting him in
print.
His first published novel, "The Cen
tleman From Indiana" dealing with
conditions in the first Cleveland admin
istration, was an immediate success.
From that time forward his books were
a~nxiously watched for by the public,
which was always amazed at the va
riety of subjects he handled with mas
terry and whimsical humor.
When, after a lapse of some years
during which he was blind, and after
surgery had partially restored his sight,
his name began again to appear, the
reading public felt the gratitude one
feels in meeting an old friend after
long separation.
Before his death on Sunday he had
been debating another novel, though
confined to his bed. It can only be
hoped that no ambitious writer or pub

misunderstanding on Bonds

There is an impression in some
quarters that defeat of the bond pro-
oosal in the forthcoming election would
throw the areas annexed in last Novem-
oer's election back into the county.
Word is being spread by misguided
persons to this effect and encourage
ment given to voters in the affected
regions to vote against the bonds.
The belief is wrong. The areas to the
east and south of the old city involved
in the November balloting were voted
into the city and in accordance with
The provisions Of the election call an
nexation was completed on January
l, this year. No opposition to the bonds
can change this.
All that defeat of the bonds could
accomplish would be to delay installa-
ton of municipal improvements in these
areas. Every former suburbanite who
might cast a ballot against the bonds
would be voting against his own inter-
ests.

tries her hair first this way, then
that, then I know she is probably
an actress"
"You can tell about men from the
hats their women buy, claims
Madame Dache. If he's %conserva-
tive, she'll choose a sailor. If he's
a good PAL" she'll pick a sports
hat with a casual brim. The man
about town, who wants his girl to
look like a southeastern, will like
her best in a turban. If he's senti-
mental, she gets a Vatican hat. If
he's Southern, then by all means
she takes a picture hat trimmed
with flowers. And if he's in love,
a bonnet is the best bet.
MADAME Dache looks back in
her memoirs to her most famous
creations and the celebrities who
wore them:
THE Wide-brimmed cloche OF
1925, decorated with cherries and
taffeta ribbon, bought by Marion
Davies who spotted it as she walk
ed past the first Dache hat shop.
THE Vigolo hat of 1927, mo--~ed
to the head with a wide snap
brim. This was the %forerunner OF
the big-brimmed swagger hat, a
favorite of Marlene Dietrich, Greer
Carson and Olivia de Haviland.
THE snood, first made for the
late Carole Lombard. The star
wanted to wear her blonde hair
loose but neat, for a dancing scene
in a motion picture.

Where, From Here?

The time draws near for high school
seniors to receive their diplomas. The
chief question they will have to answer
is: where do we go from here?"
Parents and teachers may exercise
considerable Influence on the answer,
but in the last analysis it is up to each
graduate to make the final decision
himself.
And the next step is vital. All their
subsequent years, their happiness, sue
cess, failure, in largest measure de-
ponds on what they make up their
minds to do.
Naturally, most will want to con-
tinue their education. But this will not
be possible in all cases, not only because
the nations colleges and universities
will be crowded with CPS, but because
some parents will not be able to bear
the expense.
Those who cannot go on at the schools
Of higher learning must determine what
line of work they are best fitted for by
nature or by the aptitudes they have
cultivated in high school.
Whatever they do, it is to be en-
phasized that their education need not
stop with high school commencement.
Many a mar and woman, denied the
privilege of finishing at high school
because of family adversely, has gone to
the top by continuing studies in nom
work hours or by private tutoring, when
able to afford it.
One outstanding case is that of
Richard Watson Glider, the great editor
of The Century Magazine for nearly
half a century. Mr.. Glider did not have
the benefit of a days college study
Yet he could compete with the most
learned and erodite teachers in dis.

Booth Harrington

Booth Harrington, for half a century
among Americas top flight
authors of fiction, and who created at
least one character, Penrod, who prom
Uses to survive at the side of Huck
Finn, got his early aspiration to write
from an author whose fame rested
more upon the novelty of his subjects
than literary genius - General Lew
Wallace.
After Wallace completed his term
as territorial governor of New Mexico,
where he wrote most of Ben Hur IN the
ancient Spanish governors abode,w winch
completes with St. Augustine's castle as
the oldest building in the country, and
had come home after four years as
minister to Turkey, he retired to the
citv of his birth, Charlottesville, In
diana. Harrington, born and reared in
indianapolis, found in the aging Cen
eral, whom he sought out and at whose
feet he sat, the inspiration to devote
his life to letters.
The Wallace influence on the youth
full Harrington was of doubtful worth,
as is so often the case with young writ
ers, in that the early products of his
pen were initiative. 1t was not until he

THE CROSS ON THE MOUNTAIN
By T. ELLIS

lf1E ~ OIN AAAG
Every traveller is familiar with
mountains of the Holy Cross"
like the famous in Colorado;
but my favorite cross mountains
are in Sinai. The monk OF
the Monastery of St. Katherine
have placed iron crosses upon all
the peaks surrounding the Noun
tain of the Law.
With fine symbolism, they have
perceived that Sinai must be sup
plemented by Calvary. The law is
not enough: the cross completes it.
Mans hope is not in the red and
rugged heights where the Ten
Commandments were given; but in
the little hill whereon the Savior
once hung Cor the worlds redemp-
ton. Above Law rises Grace.
Higher than all the heights of
the mountains, we see the Cross
of Jesus the Lamb of God slain
from before the foundation of the
world. We would ever keep that
cross in the center of souls
vision. Amen.

Comes now the secret that's
eluded me for many years and has
caused me unnumbered tossy and
sleepless nights.
1t is why Women's hats are
that way.
There's a double play credit
to be given in finding the secret.
Lilly Dache to Sara Yokley to me.
Miss Dache, it seems, has writ
ten a book, published today by
Coward-McCann. Miss Dache, you
know, is the one whom dreams
up some of those designs for wom-
ems hats that make you wonder
if Dali, the surrealist, didn't have
a hand also on the job. Miss Yok-
ley, a United Press writer, passes
the information along. l haven't
read the book, but 1 shall the
minute l can get my hands on one.
1t is absolutely necessary that l
delve further into the secret.
But let US examine what Miss
Yokley says about what Miss
Dache says:
"a hat, says Lilly Dache, is an
optical illusion to make a woman
look like what she isn't-a crystal
ball that tells what's in her heart.
This lowdown on bonnets, by the
woman who ought to know, comes
from the designers autobiography,
Talking Through My Hats

thing, says Madame Dache. The

an experiment in publishing
experimental writing, made its
first appearance. Dedicated to its
Paris counterpart, Eugene Jolas'
TRANSITION" it contained pieces by
Stein, Pound, Miller, Kay Boyls
(who seems uninterested in trying
to make the grade now and others;
much of its material was first
printed under Laughlin's edi-
torship in the literary section Of
the Social Credit magazine, "New
Democracy"
In this ninth issue the editor re-
affirms his faith in Social Credit
and experimental writing. It's a
pleasure to report, too, that one
allegiance does not thwart the
other; for example. Laughlin
aligns himself specifics ally with
those who believe that Pound the
poet should not be ignored because
of Pound the erring politician.
AS the editor notes, the latest
volume contains fewer arresting
new ventures in words than most
of the others, but the quality re-
mains excellent. Among the men
who deserve more than the mere
mention possible here are Miller
for a penetrating Study of Rim
baud'; Kenneth Patchen for a
passage from "Sleepers Awake on
the Precipice"; William Carlos
Williams for Comedy En-
tombed": and the Frenchman Paul
Eluard for some poems correctly
rated better than Louis Aragon's.

PAINS IN NERVE
USUALLY SUBSIDE,
BY WILLIAM 4. O'BRIEN, VI ~

w IL.
A painful nerve in an arm ~
leg may result from an injury il
which only a part of the nerve is
destroyed. This condition, called
causalgia, is most common follow.
ing military injuries, because q,
their destructive nature.
Patients with causalgia USUALLY
say that the pain started immedi-
ately after the injury, although .
few hours or days may intervene
in some cases. The pain, which ir
distributed over that part of the
extremity supplied by the sensi.
tive portion of the nerve, is vsr;.
ously described as throbbing, acb.
ing, knife-like, stabbing, burning.
twisting, and crushing. After it de-,
velops it does not cease, although
it may vary in severity.
In most cases, the severest main
is felt during the day, although
some patients complain most Of
night pain.
Aggravation of the pain by I'm.
usual conditions is one Of its moss
characteristic features. Sudden
movements, loud noises, jolting.
and contact with dry surfaces
make. the pain worse. Noise NAV
be SO distressing that the patient
prefers to remain in bed with his
ears plugged with cotton.
Why contact with a smooth sur.
face, such as a bed sheet or Z
piece of paper, makes the pain
worse cannot be explained.
Just as unusual circumstances
make the pain worse, it is relieved
by unusual methods. The major
ity of the patients with causalgia
find that wrapping the affected
part with a damp cloth is sooth-
ing; some prefer a cool cloth,
while others like it warm. Patients
often 60 to such extremes in ap-
plying moist applications to the
skin that m~aceration or softening
is produced.
Patients with causa1gia may pre-
fer to remain in a quiet room and
permit no m to speak to them.
as this makes life more bearable.
Treatment of ~causalgia depends
on the severity, as an occasional
case apparently subsidies in a few
months without any special treat
ment. The more severe varieties.
however, require a surgical oper-
alton on the sympathetic nerves in
the back, in which those supplying
the affected part are cut.
Temporary relief from pain NAV
be obtained by blocking out the
nerves with injections of procaine.
Pain relief may also follow an
operation on the affected nerve in
which a nerve tumor which has
formed at the point Of injury is
removed.
Remarkable relief rs obtained.

many patients reporting complete

BRIDGE
BY WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY
Americas Card Authority

That bridge Is n of Americas
favorite pastimes is well known,
but many people may not realize
that cards are the greatest me
dunn we have for raising funds
FOR charities. It is estimated that
more than $40, 900, 600 a year is
raised for charitable purposes
through card parties.
The Whist Club in New York
gave a party recently that raised
almost $4,000 to help fight cancer
in children. That genial quiz
master, Bob Hawk, who acted as
master of ceremonies at the party,
was eliminated during the early
rounds, as many OF us we're. But
Bob said he was eliminated on
one of the prettiest hands he had
ever seen.
The opening lead vas won in
dummy with the diamond ace, the
nine of hearts was led and Hawk
(East) refused to cover. Declarer
let it ride, then led the four of
hearts and finessed the ten-spot.
He then led the nine of clubs,
took the finesse, and Hawk won
with the King.
Now Hawk felt sure he had the
contract defeated. He returned a
diamond, South won and led an
other club. Dummy's ace won
and now the good queen OF clubs
was trumped. The king of dia-
monds was cashed, dummy was
entered with a spade, the club
jack was trumped and another
spade led to dummy.
When the last club was led
Hawk had to trump. Declarer
overtrumped and captured Hawks
king with his ace. A double grand
coup gave South his contract!

Confiscation

This proposition from John L. LEWIS
that the mine operators place Z per
cent of their gross income into a health
and welfare fund allegedly for the bene-
fit of the miners and their families is
too grave to be passed owe lightly. IT
put across it would pile up such wealth
in the treasury of Lewis union that
The tabled wealth of Midas would seem
but loose change.
The menace is not only in the ex-
~cessive amount to be collected, which
naturally would increase the price of
coal to consumers, but because it would
he administered Independently by the
union-which means Lewis.
Along with other major labor organi-
cations. the miners union is required
to give only a cursory accounting OF its
funds. Thus, this S70,000,000 a year
which Lewis would have the mine op-
orators assessed, would be his to dis
pose of, for he has made it plain, in
discussing the strikers claims, that his
purpose is to keep all other hands Oft.
Yesterdays dispatches indicated that
President Truman, in an effort to get
the coal strike settled quickly, favors
an industry-supported fund, independ-
IDENTIFY administered, and may make a
proposal to end the strike. 1t is impossi-
BILE to interpret this in any light except
that he will recommend giving Lewis
his way.
If this should be done, there is no
reason to doubt the other major labor
union leaders would demand al equi-
valent concession. By this means bill
lions of dollars would be taken from the
revenues of all important industries,
and the immense wealth pouring into
the treasures of unions under the
guise of health and welfare funds
would have to come from the consum-
ing public, which includes members of
unions as we'll as everybody else.
Union workers would be putting up
money to provide fortunes owe which
they could have no control. Disposition
of all funds thus collected from indus
try would be administered by their
No. 1 man.
Isn't it time for union workers to
survey their subservience to the Lew
Uses and see what suckers their bosses
have made of them? And Mr.. Truman,
too, to see how Lewis is using him.
