DETAIL-The late sculpto,

Paris on a statue of Senator
Robert M. La Toilette, the Wis

was completed down to the waist
when La Toilette was suddenly
called back to Washington.
Davidson. a stickler for detail
was depressed by this turn oi

Correction: A dropped line In

Pittsburgh: How should one
pronounce the word KOWTOW?
I have never heard anyone use
the pronunciation that Is listed
in my unabridged Webster's.-
Mrs. J. II. A.
Answer: Webster's New Inter-
national shows "ko-TOW" to
rhyme with 'go now" But. as
you say, it Is seldom II ever
heard In American speech. Web
|ster's "ko-TOW" Is an attempt
to reproduce the sound Of the
Chinese k'o-t'ou, which means
knock head" Kowtow is Eng

ing. Why not let it 60 at that?
Ia stack Of dictionaries would not
convince the American people
that '.kow-" must rhyme with

The newer and more realistic
Dictionaries rhyme. bob syllables
with now: and that's the way
kowtow is pronounced in Stand
ard American speech: Kow-tow.

with the loss Of only two spades
and one diamond. But Mr..
Muzzy had received several lee
lures from his partners recently
on the subject Of playing his
high cards prematurely. Today
he was determined to hold up
his honors until forced to play
them, and as it happened this
resulted in q devastating de-
fense.
Mr.. Abel opened the five Of
diamonds, the eight went on
from dummy and Mr.. Muzzy
stubbornly played the four. Mr..
New won with the nine in order
to lead a spade toward dummy
for q finesse against the queen.
He led the deuce Of spades and
played the ten from the board.
MIR. Muzzy followed suit with the
nine.
Now Mr.. New realized he would
have to win at least two spade
tricks to make his contract. Be-
lieving the queen to be on his
left. he came back to his hand
with the ace Of clubs and led
another spade.
Dummy's jack lost to the queen
and Mr.. Muzzy returned o club.
Mr.. New won with the jack Of
clubs and led . third spade. Mr..
Muzzy took this with the ace and
led q third club. This set up q
winning club In his hand. and
since Mr.. New had no chance for
ten tricks without knocking out
the ace Of diamonds. MFR. Muzzy
won two more tricks diamond
and q club.
He wouldn't have been able to-
explain why his defense was sol
successful. but his playing low
on the first lead of spades was a
masterpiece Of patience. He
needed four entries to realize a
club trick--three entries to lead
clubs to knock out Mr.. News
honors and one to get back in to
cash his club winner.
BY ducking the first spade he
enlisted Mr.. News aid and
gained the tempo he needed.
When MIR. New returned to his
hand with q club at trick three,
Mr.. Muzzy had to lead clubs
only twice to set up his winner.
From one jump behind he had
advanced to one jump ahead.

Pension Backed
For Presidents

The Senate Civil Service Com

today on a bill establishing a
pension of $500 a year for all
former Presidents.
The measure. approved by the
committee yesterday. also would
give ex-Presidents Office space
and an appropriation for clerk
hire equal to the amount allowed
Senators from the smaller States.
Widows Of former Presidents
would be eligible for a pension
of $4,000 a year if they were
not receiving any other Govern
ment annuity.
Harry S. Truman and Herbert
Hoover both would be eligible
for the benefits of the bill as the
only living ex-Presidents.
Senator Pastore. Democrat. of
Rhode Island, one of the nine
sponsors of the bill. said it is
based on belief that man who
has held the Office of President
acquires knowledge that should
remain available and that they

TODAY IN MEDICINE
BY JOHN McKELwAY


One recent afternoon at Dis.
trict General Hospital a grouI
Of visitors walked into the alco-
holic ward where about Is form!
lay silently and shapeless under
white sheets.
A doctor moved to a bedside
and gently poked a finger at 9
shoulder.
The sleeping man opened his
eyes and said something re.
sembling "huh." The doctor
asked him If he was all right.
"Yeh. sure" said the man who
rolled over and went back tc
sleep.
But in another room. a heavy
man. strapped down and sweat
ing profusely. eyed his visitors
fearfully. He made peculiar gut
tural sounds,
Careful, DOCTOR" said a nurse
TO the physician near the bed
side, 'he expectorates."
In Throes Of Tremens
The visit was significant. Per-
haps a year ago, all the men
and women-would have been
strapped down, fearful Of move
ments, Of attendants, of just
about anything, and willing to
grapple with the first object that
walked by.
The big man in the throes of
delirium tremens-a sort of
disease brought on by extended
drinking bouts. But the other
men were better off. They were
just coming off a spree" The
alcohol they had consumed had
not so completely wrecked their
systems as it had done to the
big man. But they were Sleep
ing-not a doped-up sleep, but
something closely resembling a
normal, eight-hour sleep.
And the reason was the amaz-
ing new drug chlorpromazine-
which, gradually, is being ap-
piled to almost all branches of
medicine and has still held up in
the sense that when used with
cautious hands it provokes good,
not bad, results.
Doctors in the alcoholic ward
at D. c. General are not so
concerned about the mental
aspects of alcoholism. There
are others to investigate the
underlying factors of this
chronic disease. Rather, the
doctors are faced with the re-
mains of lost week end and at
tempt to ease an individuals
course back to health.
Used in Acute Cases
Chlorpromazine, according to
a recent report out of the hos
pital. based on its use in 500
patients, is furnishing three
distinct advantages in the treat
ment of acute phases of alcoho-
lie states. Investigating the drug
were Doctors j. F. Fazekas.
James Shea and Edward Rea.
Injected intramuscularly or
taken orally, the drug induces a
restful sleep. reduces 'the
shakes" and stops retching and
vomiting. The important thing
Is that the patient can be awak-
ened quickly, given nourishment,
and then allowed to go back to
sleep. lr..-......

is an Inner shakiness and un-

In the past, food was always
difficult to get down these pa
Itients-those who had gone on
alchohol alone for days. Drugs
used in the past induced heavy.
drugged sleep making the ad-
Iministration of food difficult and.
sometimes, lead to addiction. So
far, chlorpromazine has removed
these difficulties.
The drugs advantage in cases
of delirium tremens is not as yet,
too clear. However, the doctors
SAY. the "hallucinations" of the
condition are apparently reduced
and sleep comes easier.
Worst Side Effect
The worst side-effect of the
drug-at leafs that observed at
District General-has been
hypotenSion or lowering of the
blood pressure. Caught in time,
the condition however is easily
reversed.
The doctors add that in using
chlorpromazine it's easier to
treat complications frequently
found in the alcoholic such as
liver damage, nutritional def
ciencies and alcoholic epilepsy.
Drugs have a way of kicking
back at the medical profession
after extended use-but for the
men who get chlorpromazine at
D. C. General the return to So
ciety has. at least, been easier
physically.
Perhaps the big problem from
the hospitals standpoint-in the
treatment Of these individuals is
the fact the same ones always
come back. This, chlorpromazine
can't prevent.
But the drug might, one doc
tor suggested, even be applied
someday to treatment of the
"hang -over"-as common as
the cold in some circles.
