FAMOUS FABLES
BY f. f. EDGAR

SUPPLY: Howard Lindsay
and Russell Grouse, the play
wrighting and producing team,
make a special effort to keep
their actors happy
The star of one of their hits
once complained that it was
unfair that he should have to
pay for his makeup powder. He
insisted that they furnish the
powder.
"Of course, of course, you're
perfectly right" they said pla-
catingly. They delivered, in per-
son, a large box to the stars
dressing room.
Here's enough powder to last
you several years" they said.
Sorry we didn't think of it be-
fore"
When the actor opened the box,
he discovered that there was in
deed generous supply of powder
inside-roach, powder, tooth
powder and gunpowder.
OVERDUE: Educator Nicholas
Murray Butler was present at the
funeral of a colleague who had
shown great intellectual promise
in his youth, but had failed to
live up to it in later life.

friend. Dead at CO."

aging to me. and he is now dis
satisfied with the result. l wish

to be. l also wish he would let
me alone instead of making

THE COUNCILS VIEWS
Len has had the benefit of
good advice, but he finds himself
unable to act on it: or, rather.
he finds himself unable to be
patient.
Yet patience is the key to
Janice'S emotional state. She is
wrong when she believes she
cannot feel young. She can re-
cover from her wounded feelings
and her deeply felt sense of
Illustration. She needs and de-
mands now the very thing she
has been deprived of in the past.
When the babies were most
bothersome, her husband failed
to give her help and companion
ship. Now, too. he refuses to give
her companionship, except on
his own terms. He thought
nothing of giving more than
four years to his studies while
his wife was submerged alone in
the nursery. If he were willing
to give four years to a patient

lieved. the gall bladder expands
to hold inflammatory material.
An infected gall bladder
may burst, but it does not do so
often. 1t does not do so early,
suddenly. or without abundant
warning"
You see. therefore. that there
is time to evaluate a gall blad-
der attack. We do not have to
rush in" as we do in acute APP
pendicitiS. Nevertheless, there
are exceptions. Proper procedure
must depend upon your own
doctors decision.
Diabetes in Children
Dear DR.. Steincrohn: Is it
usual for a child with diabetes
to take insulin? Can't the child
often get along we'll simply by
dieting? Sincerely. Mrs. o. M.
Answer: In order for the dia-
bette child to attain normal de-
velopment, it is essential that he
have an unrestricted diet. Most
often this is impossible without
the help of insulin. The longer
you delay the use of this wonder
full aid to control of diabetes, the
greater the chances of causing
permanent injury to the child.
CDR. Steincrohn cannot dag
nose or treat by mail. Nor is
it possible to answer all let
tiers. He hopes his readers will

LAW IN THE NEWS
Pat Ward Case Proves
Tax Man Never Re|ents

A petition filed in the United
States Tax Court by red haired
Pat Ward. one-time New York
call girl whose testimony helped
send oleomargarine heir Mickey
Jelke to prison. has recently dis
closed that Uncle Sam is billing
her for $9,977 in back income
taxes.
This tax, which includes about
$4,000 in penalties. is on money
she was said to have received
in 1852 in return for her ia
vors.' according to press reports.
In any event, the situation
presents a legal twist which APP
parently has not been conclu-
sively decided in court. And that
is whether money advanced for
such favors is in the nature of
a gift or gratuity-or whether
it amounts to taxable earnings.
Miss Ward says the money in
question was gift money, but
the Government calls it earn
ings."

plain of tiredness, being weak
and nervous. My doctor has eX-
amined me carefully and has as
sured me that l am healthy
person. l have asked him to give
me something to raise my pres
sure but he hasn't done so. He
SAYS l should consider. myself
fortunate in having pressure
that is on the low side. l have
friends with low pressure and
their doctors are giving them in
iections to raise it. l have con-
fidence in my physician; but
don't you think he should be
giving me some treatment for
it? Sincerely, Mrs. K. R.
Answer. Perhaps you have not
read any of my previous refer
ences in this column to low blood
pressure. l believe the nub of
it is worth repeating First, be
thankful that your doctor is a
sensible man. 1t is an accepted
fact that people with low blood
pressure-who have no organic
disease = statistically have a
better chance of being healthy
and living longer than their
neighbors who have so-called
normal pressure.
Injections and oral medicines
are not helpful in raising blood
pressure and keeping it raised.
It's a waste of time and money
to 60 to doctors to have your
pressure brought up to normal.
1t would be easy for your doctor
to prescribe for your low blood
pressure; it is more difficult for
him to stick to his principles
and say no.
If you are greatly disturbed
about your pressure = although
you really should be thankful
he may prescribe mild sedative
until you understand that you
should be happy rather than
worried. Some patients demand
shots" These are as inefficaci-
Gus in raising pressure as injec-
tions of plain water And why
try to raise your pressure when
you will be better of with it
low than high?
Gall Bladder Surgery
Dear DR.. Steincrohn Is it
true that an acute gall bladder
attack is as much an emergency
as an attack of acute appen-
dictis? Must one be operated on
right away? Mr.. 1. r.
Answer: Let me answer you
by giving few excerpts from an
excellent article reviewed in
Current Medical Digest. The
original paper appeared in the
Canadian Medical Association
Journal and was written by Sir
Heneage Ogilvie. MD.
We must never look upon a
gall-bladder operation as an
emergency. Nature has been
studying the art. of combating
infection for 1000 million years,
and she is pretty good at it. The
wise surgeon will not interfere
with a process so perfectly de-
signed unless he knows by pre-
vious experience that the dan
gers of interference are less than
those Of waiting. When the
gall bladder inflammation sub
sides. as it does in 10 attacks out
Of 90, the bile flow is restored
and the attack is over.

subside and the block is not re-

Wards case is the matter Of
deductions.
If the money she received is
properly considered as income, +"
may she then claim business
deductions? And if so. what
kind? Ordinarily the law per-
mits expenses reasonably in
Cured in the furtherance Of
business to be deducted from
gross income. 1t also makes
deductible the costs of main
tanning such part Of the home or
apartment as may be used di-
rectly in the furtherance of in
come-producing business. And SO
on.
A straw in the wind might be
the tax treatment accorded
gamblers. who are permitted
certain deductions for losses. If
these are allowable to a point.
taxpayers in Miss Wards cir
cumstances might, by analogy,
expect somewhat similar SYM
pathy from the law.

holdings in the past, money
legally received in virtually any
businesslike transaction is tax
able. BY legally received" they
mean money knowingly paid
over for purpose. not neces-
sarily that the transaction itself
is a legal one.
For example. the Government
has successfully taxed as income
at one time or another, money
received by extortionistS, protec-
ton racketeerS, gamblers, book
makers, bootleggers-even kid
naperS.
Or to put it another way, as
did a Federal court of appeals
not long ago, the Treasury is not
overly squeamish" about where
you get your money when il
comes to taxing your income
So long as title to it is not con-
tested by somebody else - as
would be the case with stolen
money = the Government con-
siders it taxable.

teresting legal problem in Miss

THE GOLDEN YEARS
Where to Retire to?
First Decide Why?'

| Job, and the recognition are the
real things.
A Hoosier returned to Indiana
recently after diSenchanted re-
tirement to st. Petersburg, Fla.
He thereby made his second big
mistake since IS. He had gone
there. he said, because the sun
shone every day. because there
were good doctors there, because
discerning people for years had
been retiring there. These were
splendid reasons. but only half
enough of them. Companions,
a job to do. and recognition he
never thought Of.
So he found he was just an
other old gent with a pension.
But instead of seeking in the
atmosphere of st. Petersburg
where he could have found them
the fundamentals of a good
retirement, he turned tail and
went back home. After an alb
Sence, at his age, of more than
year. there was nobody and
nothing waiting for him. He
could develop friends and in
terestS again. But once he had
made the break with home he
could do it more effectively in
the retirement home he had
originally wanted in Florida.
Climate Alone Not Key
During a good many years of
talking to retired people, I have
seen very few who could find
happiness somewhere else if they
couldn't find it where they were
I have seen very few who were
really happy if they didn't have
companions, a Job. and some
kind of recognition.
I have never seen one who
convinced me that climate alone
had given, or prevented, the
Golden Years.
The other day an executive of
the John Deere Manufacturing
Co. announced his retirement.
His name was Gust Olson, jr.,
and he was making plans to go
to Florida. But not to sit in the
sun. He and Mrs. Olson were
going to register at a university
and explore some of the mys-
teries of education.
He'll do all right.

Four employees of the Service
Pipe Line Co. of Tulsa, Okla,
have just retired. and here's
where they went to find their
Golden Years; Turon, Kans.,
Boise, Idaho, Fayetteville. Ark,
and Mexia, Tex.
You could hardly pick any
four places in the country that
offered less glamor as retire
ment paradises than these. Yet
the four men are probably being
smarter than the New York
stock brokers who are retiring
on $4,000 a year.
Because retirement is not
glamor. Retirement is not
climate. Retirement is you and
your very personal tastes.

tired about two weeks ago and

Calf. That, he has come to un-
derstand, is where chic people
retire.
Three Essentials
There's nothing wrong in try
ing to be economical in Arkansas
or chic in Monterey. There is
nothing wrong with the magni-
ficent sunshine of Florida. But
a person needs the same sort of
porridge after IS that made life
good before; companionship, a
job of some kind, and recogni-
ton as an important individual
from the cop on the corner and
the neighbor down the street.
People heading for places like
Turon, Kans., seem to under
stand this.
Everything being equal. it
would be more pleasant to satisfy
retirement's needs while a warm
breeze waited the scent of gar
denias into the bedroom window
than while a blizzard coated the
window with ice. Just keep in
mind that when you seek the
gardenias or even when you seek
cheap living in Arkansas you are

piness. The companions, the

Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-07-04

LEM seem to have made a
terrible mess of my family life
and l am desperately eager to
make amends, but my wife seems
or unable to respond
to my new attitude.
At 81, l have three children,
a new home and an excellent
job, which l have achieved as
the result of hard work and COL
lege studies in my spare time
over period of more than four
years. Now that 1 have at last
arrived somewhere and can give
my family some attention to
make up for the years of neglect,
1 find my wife no longer responds
to my affection. In short. l
seem to be unable to recapture
that which I once ignored in my
concentration on paying the
family bills and getting ahead.
l would do anything to induce
my wife to feel towards me as
she did in the early days, when,
l must admit, 1 scarcely valued
her love. l have sought advice
and help, but the sum total of
all this has been the admonition
that I must court her again with
patience and persistence.
l find it very hard to act on
this advice, because the craving
for love and affection is per-
sistent, but hardly patient. My
wife tells me frankly that she
cannot bring herself to revert to
the status of a romantic young
girl. She has lived through
years of emotional neglect and
aggravated by eco
nomic problems, including a
ceaSelesS flow of doctor bills for
the youngsters. Now, she says,
she is much older than her years.
