AS we left the city residential
limits, we drove over improvised
roads on q vast, man-made sandy
plain, stretching for miles around
as far as we could dee.
"This is the New York Interna-
tional Airport, the largest in the
world" said our guide. 1--WE opened
just in time to celebrate the Golden
Jubilee. We have about five thou
sand acres, with ten miles Of run
ways. See that line of Quonset huts
over there? Those are our tempo
rary headquarters and air termi-
malls. They'll be replaced by a half
mile horseshoe Of brick buildings,
where we shall house interesting ex-
hibits and shops Of real Worlds

Considerable Activity
We arrived in the midst Of con-
siderable activity. Planes from Hol-
land, Scandinavia, France, Belgium
and Argentina were on the ground,
getting ready to take of. From the
observation tower directions to pi-
lots Of incoming and outgoing
planes blared out over the loud
speaker. On an improvised platform
below, like q deck, hundreds Of fas-
cinated spectators were watching
the operations.
"voila, this is the rendezvous Of
the world" exclaimed the Chef.
"That's what we're aiming for, ,"
remarked our host, Mr.. Robert s.
Curtis Of the New York Port Of
Authority. ave hope to make this
the welcoming place for air travel
lers from every country. We are
arranging to establish restaurants
Of interpational cuisine. As a start
er we have an all-American restau-
rant, Dobbs House. We think it's q
tribute to American cooking that
people Of all nationalities are en-
joying the food"
"Aha, I know" laughed the Chef,
"You are serving the steaks, the
chops, the apple pie, the ice
cream"

regional dishes we have selected
from the entire country. But come

seated At . roomy. cloth-covered
table.

"A very nice menu" commented
the Chef. "You have the trout from

tor. We remember with Joy a city
where one walks happily on ancient
cobblestones or on magnificent side
walks of dazzling black and white
mosaic set in patterns. We remem-
ber well the pavement in front of
one hotel, a mosaic sidewalk over
20 feet wide laid in checkerboard
Of black and white blocks. Then
there are the fine arcades, twenty
or thirty feet wide, lined with shops
that were filled with all sorts Of
beautiful and desirable merchan-
disc, and the shopping was a most
pleasant transaction.
In Prague are some Of the most
photographed places in the world.
There is the tower Of the Old Town
Bridge, pride Of the city Of a hum
dred towers. It stands at the en-
trance to the bridge over the Mol
dau, started four centuries ago by
Charles Nv. Then there is mighty,
ancient Hradchin Castle erected by
the Kings Of Bohemia on the great
bluff overhanging the Moldau, a
structure covering several hundred
acres, labyrinth of immense build
ings facing on courts with tunnel
like passages from one structure to
another.
Famous Cathedral
Another much photographed place
is the famous Cathedral dedicated
to St. Vitus, the evangelist-physi-
clan. The cathedral was begun over

For the Birthday
Those whose birthday it is may

strenuous determination to win out.
This aggressive attack and good ma

work, creative and concentrated ef-
forts could have surprising infiu-

THE pages in our memory book
and in our snapshot album are often
turned, lovingly and longingly to
Czechoslovakia. And like many an
other that loves this fine and beauti-
full land and its gallant, brilliant
people, we hope some day to go back
when things by the Moldau are once
more as they should be. What stra-
tegic position it occupies. And this
perhaps has much to do with its po-
litical destiny.
The country is long and narrow
and is set like fat sausage in the
great sandwich of Central Europe,
which makes it ripe for the gob-
bling! It is between Germany and
Poland on the north; Austria. Hun
gary and Rumania on the south. One
end is in the Carpathians on the
edge Of Rumania, the other end
winds up some 600 miles away in
Germany.
Rich Plains
How we'll we remember the rich

Good Posture
Will Give You
A Good Figure
By HELEN FOLLETT

CORRECT posture emphasizes
the good points of the figure, camou-
flages the poor ones, if they are
present. 1t imparts an air of dis
tinction, gives snap and style to
ones clothes. 1t is suggestive Of
youth, energy and grace.
Carriage should be erect, but not
rigid. The body must have ease and
flexibility if it is to move rhythmi-
cally. The head must be balanced,
chin on the level; poses that give
fine lines to the throat and shoul-
ders. Stand against the wall, heels,
buttocks and shoulders touching the
wall, backbone held tall. Let the
arms be relaxed at the side. Then
walk. See if you can hold that pose.
Weakens Tissues
To let the shoulders fall forward
is to cause the chest to contract, to
weaken the delicate tissues of the
breasts. The collar bones pop out
on the thin girl, there is a roll on
the upper back of the plump one.
1t seems pity that girls and wom-
en- of all ages do not pay more atten-
ton to this matter that is so vital
to health, well being and appear
ance.
Correct posture makes for slen-
der waist because it takes up the
slack at the midriff. 1t helps you
to tuck your hips back and unds }
1t gives smoothness and snap to thA
lines of the back.
When you wander through the
buy-ways, looking for dry goods,
glimpse the reflection of yourself
in the shop windows. AS few of US
have full length mirrors we seldom
see ourselves all of a piece. And
figure changes may creep upon one.
One must keep aware of these mat
ters.
Good posture begins in the mind.
Keep it ever in your thoughts. 1t is
the attitude of courage, just az the
slumped, slouchy pose is the atti-
tude of despair and cowardice.
Remember that sitting posture ID
important, too. Don't slouch on the
bottom of your spine or slump for
ward. Sit up straight but let your
body relax and avoid "ramrod" po-
sition.

EARLY Operation Deemed Best
For InfIumed Gall Bladder

Of three is another operation neces-
sary later on to remove the gall
bladder. However, this operation
should not be undertaken for at
least six months unless the patient
develops severe gall bladder attacks
in the meantime.
In those instances Of acute gall
bladder infection in which jaundice
is present, the jaundice may be due
to a stone in the common bile duct
which leads from the liver to the
small bowel.
The jaundice may also be due to
liver Inflammation, and in such cases
it will clear up after removal Of
the infected gall bladder.
Sometimes the pancreas, a gland
within the abdomen, may be in
famed to such an extent that it
blocks the common bile duct which
opens into the intestine near the
area where the pancreas is located.
In such cases, also, removal Of the
gall bladder gets rid Of the infection
present, and the jaundice gradually
clears up.
OF course, in all gall bladder oper.
atoms, the common bile duct is ex-
amined to make sure that no stones
are present.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
H. c.: What causes burning Of
the tongue and is there a cure for
it?
Answer: Burning of the tongue is
usually due to infection, and some
times occurs in individuals between
40 and 60 years Of age; the exact
cause for this condition is not
known.
An examination Of the mouth and
nose should be made to see just
what disorders are present; then
the proper treatment can be given.

MEDICINE constantly uses the
lamp of experience to light the way
to further progress. This means
that accepted ideas and time-hon-
ored procedures are constantly be-
ing overhauled in the light of new
experience.
1t was formerly thought that in
acute Inflammation Of the gall blad-
der, medical means might often be
tried before surgery was invoked,
but today DR.. Edward Judd, Jr., of
the Mayo Clinic, declares that early
operation is the best treatment for
this disorder. This change in think
ing is due to the discovery that early
rupture Of the gall bladder occurs
in these cases much more often than
was previously thought.
Common Disorder
Acute Inflammation Of the gall
bladder is fairly common disorder
especially among older, obese women
who lead inactive lives. 1t is marked
by severe pain in the right, uppe,
part Of the abdomen, tenderness ir
this area, sickness at the stomach
vomiting and, sometimes, the devel
opment Of jaundics "a greenish-yel
low discoloration) Of the skin ant
other tissues.
Operation in such cases usual,
means the removal Of the gall blad
der. Il however, the Inflammation
should b severe enough to hav,
damaged the tissues greatly, it ma,
not be possible to remove the gal
bladder successfully. In these case,

elevator men, is puzzled and troubled. We
took on . new relief man yesterday. he
ssys, "But he had very high recommenda-
tions. Indeed, one OF them was signed by
MI. veritren, and said that the man had
worked a. his theaters. and had given sat-
isfacMon."
PHILIP Veritzen never would
make a successful F.B.I. agent. He
is too explosive when anything sur
prising happens to him. 1t takes
him at the least reckoning, several
seconds to get his emotions under
control.
l made this mental comment for
the nth time, when Watkins, the
short, tubby, middle-aged man in
charge Of the elevator men made
his surprising revelation concern
ing the new relief man whom he
had taken on the day before.
"Impossible!" the Lansfeld own
er exclaimed. "You must be mis-
taken! never signed any recon-
mendation for any elevator oper-
ator."
Face Was Pallid
The face Of Watkins was pallid,
and I guessed that the fear of los
ing his job was riding him. The
Lansfield management pays top sal
aries, the working conditions are
unusually good, and the workers
there in many cases, have been there
for years. But every worker knows
that if the owner, temperamental
Philip Veritzen, becomes displeased
with an employee, his or her job is
ended.
But there was good stuff in the
fat little man. He stood his ground
manfully.
II have seen your signature many
times, Mr.. Veritzen," he said re-
spectfully, but with obstinacy in his
voice. III the one on the mans pa
per is not yours, then it is a very
clever forgery. don't think any
body would have doubted it."
The great impresario looked ex-
actly as if he meant to thunder
"Off with his head!" told myself
but after a second Of staring at his
employee, he put a testy question
That's easy to find out. Where
