FAMOUS FABLES
BY E. E. EDGAR

RETURN: AS q young singer,
Enrico Caruso was once engaged
at the San Carlo Theater in Ma
Piles, the city of his birth. It
was a great occasion for him.
After a year Of success at La
Scala, he was to sing at last for
his fellow Neapolitans.
Unfortunately, his debut was
not a happy one. The theater
that night was filled with two
rival musical factions. Instead
of listening to Caruso. they be-
came embroiled in a near riot.
with fists and epithetS flying.
Caruso was so incenSed, that
when his engagement was over,
he vowed he would never again
sing in Naples. And he never
did. Years later. a friend Sug-
gested that the time had come
for him to rescind his vow.
Never" said Caruso.
But you're a Neapolitan
yourself" said the other.
"Of course" said the tenor.
II love the place and hope to
visit it again and again. But
not to sing. Only to eat spa
ghetti!"

any specific disease of circulation

that it was just a popularity of

Chances Against
ANSWER: If you are inter-
ested in knowing about Burgers
Disease because of your own
symptoms I think you can prob
ably forget about it. We don't
know the actual cause Of this
condition, but we do know that
it infrequently occurs in women;
and usually involves the legs
Chances are that you are not
suffering from it. If your doctor
has ruled out the possibility of
you having Raynaud's Disease
Ca spasmodic arterial condition
occurring mostly in women
then you can turn your atten-
ton to keeping your hands and
feet more comfortable.
I know of nothing better than
the simple remedy of trying to
keep warm. Don't go in for
pitching snowballs or ice-skating.
Put on heavy gloves before you
leave home. Wear heavy socks.
Some patients with cold feet
have improved by taking con-
trast baths every night to stimu-
late their circulation. Dip the
feet in hot water for about five
minutes and then plunge them
into cold water for three minutes,
Repeat this procedure for half
an hour every day. If there is
no improvement you have lost
nothing but the time; if help
full, you can continue with this
regime a few times a week.
Usually Heavy Smokers
We know that patients with
Buerger'S Disease are usually
heavy smokers. They don't get
we'll unless they give up tobacco.
I remember one young man who
continued to smoke in spite of
warnings that he would lose his
leg if he didn't stop. He chose
tobacco and lost not only one
leg that became gangrenous: he
had an amputation two years
later on the other and became
a cripple for life.
Mrs. L. G. K, there are three
main types of arterial disease:
Raynaud's, Buerger's and OBJ
Structive arterioScleroSiS. MY
guess is that you have none of
these.

How to
STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
People Wonder About Cold Feet
By Or. PETER J. STEINcRoHN

People often wonder why their
hands and feet are so cold. They
say: I'm healthy in every other
way. I can't understand why my
feet are like ice even when it is
not freezing outside. And when
I shake hands with friends they
are always saying that my hands
feel as if they've just come out OF
ice-water."
In most of these people, espe-
cially in women. the trouble is
not a serious one. I have most
usually found this complaint in
those who are tense and of q
nervous makeup. Sometimes
getting at the condition through
the back door will help; prescrib-
ing sedatives and giving reasSur-
ance will indirectly improve the
circulation of the small blood
vessels in the extremities.
Buerger's Disease

II am 43 years Of ago. All my
life 1 have had cold feet and

I get up there is some numbness
in my hands.

Pope Cautions Girls
About Rome Wolves

Pope Plus XII has cautioned girls
who come to Rome as house

tain training and shun "rapa-
cious wolves disguised as lambs"
In a 15-minute speech to
thousands of domestic servants
gathered in the Vatican's Bene-

annual audience. the Pontiff
warned the maids not to be too
dazzled by the bright lights of

THE PROBLEM
THE DETAILS

THE DETAILS
Celia-My husband, Jack, has
suddenly taken to palling around
with a man who has a reputa-
ton for coming from the under
world. He has even asked me to
invite him and his wife to our
home and to accept their invi-
tation. I have tried to reason
with my husband, but he either
does not understand or does not
want to understand.
My husband refuses to believe
that people are beginning to
gossip about us because of his
friendship with this man. My
husband comes from a good
family and assumes that he is
above criticism, but I come from
the other side of the track and
know how people can talk. I am
afraid that this will hurt our
children, who may have to hear
malicious gossip from their
friends in school.
simply cannot get it through
my head why Jack should reject
the many men who would be
happy to associate with him for
this strange character, who
makes a marked man of him in
the eyes of our community.
Jack-The man my wife re-
fers to had reputation for be-
ing a big operator during the
prohibition era. He has changed
greatly since then and find him
a far more stimulating compan-
ion with deeper and broader
interests than most of the fell
lows 1 grew up with.
I have tried to make my wife
see reason. but she can't seem
to accept the fact that this man
actually leads a cleaner life than
some Of my more conventional
friends, who may make the right
noises and gestures in polite So
ciety, but have doubtful stand
ards of conduct and only the
shallowest interests.
My friend may have been in
the gutter once, but that was
long ago. He has invested his
money in legitimate business.

THE COUNCILS VIEWS
Jack paints a plausible picture
Of his ex-racketeer friend and
Celia may have erred in speaking
too harshly to Jack about his
friend. At the same time, she
may have understated the prob
lem of the children.
A man like Jack, feeling Sc
cure because of his good origin,
may be able to defy gossip and
public reputation, placing sub
stance above mere appearance
The children may have a more
difficult problem coping with the
harsh comment that other chill
dren are capable Of.
Jacks attitude has its COM
mendable side, but he must face
honestly the question: us this
courageous attitude at the ex-
pense of the wife and children?"
His ex-racketeer friend no
doubt has grown intellectually
and perhaps spiritually since the
old days. but he has to pay a
price in reputation for the adj
vantageS he once seized for him
self in an extra-legal way. ad-
vantageS that he still enjoys
since he profits from the fruits
Of that lawless period.
The question is whether Jacks
wife and children should share
in paying the price Of this ex-
racketeer's past.
