Mrs. Clark Begins New
Move 10 Gust Tenant

The family of Rear Admiral
Joseph ]. "Jocko" Clark today had
won half its battle to regain two
10-room apartments and was seek
ing to complete its conquest at $500
Massachusetts, avenue NV.
Mrs. Shannon Clark, the admirals
wife, yesterday re-opened Municipal
Court proceedings to evict George
B. Dewey, retired naval officer,
from his suite in the building, which
she owns.
Two weeks ago, the Clarks' long
legal campaign to regain the second
apartment ended, when Huston
Thompson, former head of the Fed
eral Trade Commission, moved out.
Mrs. Clark originally had been
awarded possession of both suites
in a jury trial last May, but the
Municipal Court Of Appeals upset
that decision on point of law and
allowed the tenants to remain. Mr..
Thompson moved on receiving a re-
possession notice, rather than face
the prospect of another court duel.
Mrs. Clark purchased the 5000 900
building last spring. In the course
of the trial the Clarks maintained
they needed all 20 rooms for their
family use. Admiral Clark is AS
Sistant Chief of Naval Operations.

Boy Who Be|ittIes His Sister

When your little daughter wishes to
read to you or when you help her
with her lessons, go to another room
with her. Let the boy stay with his
dad who might amuse this lad. Or,
the boy might read to the baby.
Don't allow the boy to help his
sister with her lessons. am enclos-
ing some bulletins-"Home Helps
in Reading" "Home Helps in SPELL
ing" Jealousy" (Which anybody
else may have in a stamped enve-
LOPEZ. Help the, lad to enjoy more
achievement in other directions. Ask
of yourself whether he feels he is
loved as much as the other children
are. His belittling the sister might
indicate that he is trying to build
himself up and greatly feels the
need of doing so. Yet you must pro-
tect the sister.
Avoid Explanation
You have explained enough to
this boy why he should not belittle
his sisters learning at books. Ex-
plain no more. For each offense as
sign him to sit alone, unamused, in
a chair for exactly rs minutes.
Other parents will recognize this
problem, which may arise with chill
dren of any age. Even after children
grow up and have children of their
own they may compare the cousins
in all sorts of ways. the offender
being the parent who supposes her
child surpasses cousin.
Some parents, too, will lord it over
their own child with, "You didn't
know that?" Why should we ever
express to child astonishment at
his ignorance, and why should any,
body express like astonishment to
you and me at your ignorance or
mine? Such expressions hardly help.

Blood Clot
In q Vein
3, HERMAN N. BUNDEsEN. MD.

THE formation of an inf1amed
blood clot in a vein is known az
thrombophlebitis. Such condition
may develop at almost any age, but
is most common in those past sixty.
The symptoms differ, depending
on whether or not the affected per-
son is up and about or confined to
bed. This condition occurs most
often in veins of the leg. When it
occurs in an active person, there
may be some degree of lameness.
There is pain in the calf Of the leg
when walking, and some swelling Of
the ankle. If the condition is mild, it
may clear up with few days rest
in bed, but the symptoms may recur
when the legs are used.
When blood clot forms following
an operation and while the patient
is still in bed, there may be less
severe symptoms. However, there
may be pain in the calf of the leg.
running from mild soreness to real
aching, and also some swelling OF
the ankle and lower leg.
By injecting certain substances
into vein, an X-ray plate may be
taken which will show the veins
clearly. This is known as venog.
raphy, and often may be used in
making an early diagnosis of throm-
bophlebitis.
One of the dangers Of thrombo-
phlebitis is that bit of clot may
break off and be carried to the brain
or lungs, where it will cause serious
damage.
Treatment for the condition de-
pends upon whether or not the blood
clot is attached to the wall of the
vein. If it is not attached, there is
more danger of a bit of the clot
breaking off and being carried to
other parts of the body. In such in
stances, it may be necessary to tie
off the vein above the clot.
In the milder, less dangerous
cases, the treatment may consist of
rest in bed, X-ray, and the giving Of
certain substances which slow down
the CLOTHING of the blood. These SUBJ
stances are heparin and dicoumarol.
In any event, the treatment will de-
pend upon the location of the condi.
ton, its extent, and how long the
clot has been present.
Whenever aching in the calf of
the legs occurs, particularly in older
persons, a careful study by the ply.
sician should be made at once to de-
termine whether or not thrombo-
phlebitis has developed; then proper
treatment may be promptly carried
out.

only thing could do to help was
to keep the boys from suspecting
her errand.
AS if my thought of my kins-
woman had held telepathy, she came
into the room from the bedroom,
with Dicky walking slowly beside
her.
Longer Period
"This is a special dispensation,"
she said. "My patient is so much
better that he is going to be al
lowed up for much longer period
of time than before"
"Oh, Boy!" Faith gurgled. Then
she sidled up to Katharine.
Aunt Katharine" she said plead
ingly. "Im going to try not to tire
my Daddy out with asking ques-
tions."
Katharine looked at her.
"How would you like to take my
place as nurse for your daddy for an
hour or two?" she asked.
FalthS lace was rapturouS, her
eyes starry, while her voice was a
delighted gurgle.
: "I'd rather have that than 20 to
Heaven" she said, and l saw Dicky
give superstitious little shiver.
"You'd better choose this, dar-
ling" he told her, "for you won't be
going to Heaven until you're
ninety"
Katharine forestalled possible
protest with decision.
"Then I'll tell you what you must
do while I'm gone," she said, and
the boys and Faith looked at her in
genuine surprise.
"You mean you're going away
from us 2" Faith queried.
'"I1l be the only nurse at the
house party" Katharine went on.
"and the drug store is miles away.
So, ! have to 60 out and buy a lot
of supplies, and l can't let anybody
else pick them out"

SEVERAL times in this column
| have pointed out ways whereby a
child can be unhappy, get on poorly
with his schoolmates and teachers
and lag at his lessons, if he feels
he does not rate in his family as
well as a brother or sister. His
brother or sister my be an infant,
be three or four, or may be attend
ing school, too. l have printed in
this column accounts of suffering
school children, such as when an
older child of the family is over
taken or outdistanced by younger
one. There are all sorts of other
family relationships in which one
child is hampered at school learning
by a brother or sister. Here is a
type:
"Dear DR.. Myers: My problem is
with my son, seven. We have two
girls, 6 and 4. The older girl began
first grade this year and her brother
seems to forget he knew nothing, so
to speak, when he entered school
last year. He laughs as she tries and
keeps telling her she is dumb, etc.
I am afraid if he persists he will
give her an inferiority complex and
cause her to quit trying. She had
