SYNOPSIS

Victoria Jason, 81 and a successful
author, found n greater contCeltment in
her recent marriage to kindly Albert
Hime, director OF Glass y Aims in
Hollywood, than she had ever known
with her husband, Sawn Harrlss, whom
she had divorced ten years before.
Even in such trivial matters ss Thurs
day, the maids day of, Albert yielded
to her preference, and endured the
heated over casserole which Hazel al
ways prepared for Thursdays dinner
before she left. Victoria's best-seller,
"Ina Hart"-the story OF a murderess-
was about to 20 into production. Albert
had recommended MORA Hastings, at
tractive ingenue. for the lead, but Vic
toria bluntly tells her she IL too mex
perienoed. Shortly after MORA left.
Yietorla's friend, Bernlce SAKE, arrived
with a serious marital problem. Walter,
her husband, had discovered . letter
from Stan, with whom she is in love,
and threatens to divorce her. She Is in
furiated when Victoria advises her to
give Stan up, but before departing,
agrees to follow her advice. Victoria,
busy preparing dinner for herself and
Albert, makes a mental note to scold
Hazel when she ands the supply Of
coffee on hand will make but three cups.

CHAPTER SEVEN

JUST AS Victoria took the silver
sugar bowl from the sideboard and
placed 1t on the table, the doorbell
rang. She went to the door expect
ing Albert, who had been forgetful
lately and had probably gone of
without his key.
The latch of the top half OF the
door was stiff, so that 1t always
took a moment to open il. While
she was struggling with the latch,
the doorbell pealed again. This
struck her as odd, Albert knew
about the door.
She swung the upper half open,
and a gush Of cool night air struck
her. Light from the room at her
back fell brightly on the face look
ing at her. Beyond II were the din
round shapes Of the hanging ollas
Of the porch, the dim forms Of the
trees which hid the house from the
street. Something rustled through
the Ivy that covered the ground be-
low the trees. The crickets had al
ready begun their thin nightly
chirping. All this she was conscious
of in the flash Of time II took her
brain to adjust itself TO the fact
that she was not looking out at the
face she had expected to see.
Not Albert. Her first husband
Sawn Harriss, was standing there

his education and was determined
to make his living as a writer. He
had sold three pulp stories, at one
cent a word. He was writing a
novel about the scion OF a wealthy
New England family who revolts
against the environment in which
he was born and throws his lot in
with the workers OF the world. In
Greenwich Village at that time
there were not more than three
other young men writing this same
story. His income from the trust
fund was then about $4,000 year.
During their marriage Victoria
learned to know him rather well.
His trouble was that he really
wanted, intensely wanted, to spit in
the collective eye OF his family and
tell them what they could 70 with
their money. But something else in
him prevented this. Some native
caution, some fear OF his own abil-
ity to grapple any more success
fully with a hard world than his
mother had grappled. He was in
the hands Of the past, and half
knew 1t, even while he desired to
escape those clutching fingers and
live what he believed. Never admit
ting this, he tried to make words
substitute for the decisive action
which his youthful mind saw as the
proper course. He built up fence
OF words against the uneasy prowl-
ing thought that he was living on
the accretions Of dead men. Vic
toria saw no reason why he should
sever his lifeline and throw himself
on the mercy Of an economic sys-
TEN not friendly to young writer's.
All she wanted was for him to face
the issue squarely. For his trou-
bling need to escape sense Of guilt
often took hazardous and unpleas-
and means. His undisguised dia-
tribe Of contempt against anyone
who had q stable income alienated
a number OF her friends. Not in
frequently he got drunk, coming
home late from some revel with the
underprivileged. Victoria, working
hard editing her small magazine,
found such interruptions to her
sleep trying.
But the series Of increasingly Bit
ter arguments which reached their
climax on the night she left him be-
igan over a trifiing matter-Sawn's
preference for low and noisome
bars. Due bills to gay eating places
were one Of the perquisites Of Vic
toria's editing Job. Sawn scorned
such decadent play spots OF the
economically fortunate, and would
insist on going to hole in the wall
infested by cockroaclns, cocottes
and cab drivers, where his fondness
for liquor was apt to make their
evenings bill rather high Not only
did such places depress Victoria,
but the financial aspect Of the mat
ter annoyed her. She saw in this
repeated gesture of Sawn's another
futile effort to escape the overly
dramatic demands OF his own
youthful conscience, and she finally
taxed him with his elaborate self
deception.
She later decided that was when
he began to hate her.

Types of Epilepsy
Require Different
Treatments

BY HERMAN bUSDcsEN, ~
FOR many years there was
not much that could be done Tor
epilepsy, but in recent years new
drugs have been found 20 relieve
patients with the disorder. Epi-
lepsy is a condition characterized
by attacks in which there may be
spasms Of the muscles with OF
without loss Of consciousness.
According 10 Doctor William G..
Lcnnox Of the Harvard Medical
School, there are seven types OF
seizures which may occur in cpl
lepsy. The first is known as Jack
sonian. In this condition there are
convulsive movements which be-
gin in an arm or leg and spread
upward. The patient does not lose
consciousness.
Focal Fit
The second type is known as a
focal fit. In this condition the CON
vulsioa or spasm may be limited
10 one side Of the body, with turn
ing Of the eyes and head to one
side.
The third type is known as
grand NAL epilepsy, in which there
are loss Of consciousness and con-
vulsions affecting the whole body.
Fourth Group
Psyehomotor seizures make up
the fourth group. In these cases,
the patients have amnesia or the
state in which they do not know
what they are doing. After the at
tack is over, the patient has no
memory of what occurred, and
may even be unaware that any
thing took place.
In the fifth type, petit ma Cpl
lepsy, there is a temporary lo4s Of
consciousness with some jerking
If the face muscles.
Myoclonic jerks are symptoms
Of the sixth type. These are single,
shock-like jerks of the arm or
trunk muscles without any loss Of
consciousness.
In the seventh type or lack Of
motion" epilepsy, there seems 20
be some sudden collapse of many
Of the muscles, with nodding Of
the head.
The last three types occur most
frequently in children.
Symptoms Occur
When any symptoms of epilepsy
occur, a careful study must be
made by a doctor to determine, If
possible, what is producing the
trouble, since upon this decision
the type of treatment to be given
must be determined.
In treating epilepsy, there are
four methods Of attack. One is the
use of good hygiene and the prop
er well-balanced diet; second, sur
gical treatment; third, the use Of
drugs, and fourth, psychological
treatment.
Just what type Of drugs is to be
employed will depend on the tyre
of epilepsy which has occurred.
Among those found most useful
are bromides, phenobarbital and
phenytoin sodium.
A new medicine known as tri-
dione, which is not as yet general
ly available, has been found par
ticularly helpful in the petit NAL
type Of the disease.

President Truman has rejected
Ben Fairless' proposal 10 confer
with the employers OF struck la
Dor, TO hear their side. to learn
directly Of their problems. Mr..
Truman, assuming an Emily Pos
tian posture, would not receive an
I invitation through the press or ra'
do, although many presidential
/ proposals are made through both.
. Apparently, he prefers it by letter
or telegram-but there is a tele'
graphers' strike.
Had such a suggestion been sent
/ by mail, would Mr.. Truman have
accepted the proposal? After all.
1t is only a proposal 10 listen. No
one has asked him TO consent to
agree or favor anything. All that
was sugges ID was that he listen.
No one proposed that he say one
word, utter one syllable. Only that
he listen. And that he do his own
listening not indirectly through
Snyder and Schwellenbach; not
through Chester Bowles. II has
been suggested that Ben Fairless
and Phil Murray accepted Mr.. Tru-
man as umpire. That is incor-
rect. He invited them to the
White House in his capacity as
President OF the United States, an
invitation they could not reject.
He then turned them over to his
friends. That is not like listen
ing himself to the managers OF
struck plants.
Since when does a public official
reject a plea to hear the other
side becausa the proposal did not
not come pro forma? And even
with regard to that, the R.S.N.P.
! in thij invitation was given TO Mr..
| Humans agents with whom Mr..
/ Fairless conferred, for IL was to
Snyder and ichwellenbach that
Ben Fairless originally made the
suggestion.
Mr.. Truman Is obdurate concern
/ ing his formula. He has hit upon
a mystical 1874 which Is to solve
all problems. For all | know, 1t
may be too much or too little.
These two facts are obvious: the
value OF the American dollar Is
down about SO per cent; the cost
OF living has gone up about 80

Youth PAC Is
Formed Here

A Young Citizens Political Ac-
ton Committee in action here
this week following a conference
attended by more than 100 city
wide youth leaders. The meeting
was held in the auditorium of
Roosevelt College.
This organization has been set
up to function in the coming con-
gressional campaigns, with an
aim towards building indepen.
dent political strength.

ference set up steering commit
tees in each of Chicago's ten con-
gressional districts. The work of
these committees is to be co-ordi-
mated by city-wide steering COM
mittee with representatives from
each congressional district.
The youth leaders further de-
cided that the first task of the
respective steering committees is
to contact and work with other
progressive political groups al
ready organized in the congress
sional districts.
Young Citizens Political Ac-
ton Committee is a membership
