FAMOUS FABLES
By E. E. EDGAR

EXPLOSION. English actor
manager Sir Herbert Beerbohm
Tree once hired a talented young
actor whose conceit was over
powering. With each success, his
ego became more inflated.
After scoring a triumph in "a
new drama, he fairly strutted OF
the stage. Just as he disappear
ed into the wings, there was a
terrific explosion outside. The
blast rocked the theater. The
|dazed cast looked to Tree, whose
eyes were filled with wonder.
MY God" he gasped. "his
head has burst!"
CO M p L AIN T. Composer
George Gershwin frequently re-
ferred to himself in the third
person, q reflection Of the awe
with which he regarded himself.
One afternoon, before q con-
cert, he was practicing the piano
in his hotel suite. The phone
rang and he picked it UP. 1t was
the hotel manager.
1--WE received several COM
plants about someone playing
the piano too loudly" said the
manager. "Will you please cut
the volume?"
For q moment. the composer
was speeches.. Then he NUT
tered unbelievingly:

Two men riding together on
the crowded homeward-bound
bus had their noses buried in the
evening paper.
at says here" one name re-
marked. that Mrs. Angeline
Greco Of Uniontown, Pa, became
the 6lst victim of the Andre
Doria- Stockholm sea disaster.
She died Of q spinal injury re-
ceived almost q year ago while
being taken on the DORA. .
What I want to know is, how
long can they hold the steam
ship companies liable for things
like this? Isn't there q time
limit?"
Seems to me there is" the
second man said. Seems to me
the death has to occur within a
year and a day, or something
like that. Otherwise, the COM
panies are In the clear"
Mixed-Up Opinion
This fragment Of overheard
conversation confuses different
kinds Of law.
There Is. as the bus passenger
mentioned, q more or less gen.
eral rule in many United States
jurisdictions known as the year
and-a day rule. But It applies.
wnen 1t does. primarily in cases
OF murder. That Is, IL the per-
son wounded or injured by an
other survives the assault by
more than a year and q day
but then dies-he has not been
murdered. Death must occur
within q year and q day from
the time Of the wounding, or Il
Is not legally attributable to the
act causing the wound.
In non-criminal cases, how
ever. there les not set rule regard
ing the time within which death
must occur. In most cases, such
as those arising out Of the Doria
disaster. the major question TO
be answered Is whether the in
cident itself was the "proximate
cause" Of the subsequent death.

The physicians pointed out
that conventional techniuues

threading q needle down the

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: I am

to the apparent riddle Of the

aged housewife who has had
more than her share Of trouble
in the past few years. AS q re-
suit. I have become what some
people cali a nervous wreck.
II have not gone from doctor
to doctor what you so aptly
term the fruitless medical
merry-go-round). I still rely
upon the skill and warm heart-
edness Of our family doctor who
has been 50 good to us over so
many years. Therefore. you will
agree that ! have lost no con-
f1dence in him by writing to you
for your opinion about the we'll
known tranQuilizer medicines.
Having q mild cardiac en-
largement with moderate high
blood pressure. my doctor says
he is therefore hesitant about
flling me UP with q lot Of new
drugs that he Is not yet sure
about. I take phenobarbital
land occasionally substitute bro
during the day. Some
times he takes me on all medi-
cines for weeks. And. at night,
he gives me chloral hydrate
capsules.

better lately. But, as you know,

nudges me and once kicked me
under the table-hard enough to
make me yelp. She says I make
a fool Of myself by trying to act
too sophisticated.
Recently I was trying to get
rid Of one particular boy, and
treated him very coldly. Maui
reen chimed in. trying to make
him feel at home, and then told
him not to pay any attention to
me because I had been in a bad
mood all day. Now I still have
him on my hands.
Maureen J.-Wanda knows
that I am trying to help her. not
hurt her in any way. Mother
told me that I should keep an
eye on her because I am the
older and I have never been
Igiddy the way Wanda is.
Wanda Is really lucky to have
me. would have appreciated
having someone to tell me things
when I was her age. Mother
says that teen-age dating Is so
different these days from the
way 1t was when she was q girl
that she Just doesn't know how
to advise us. It's all up to me
and I am trying to see that
Wanda doesn't make some Of the
mistakes I made.
About the boy Wanda tried to
get rid Of, she was so nasty !
couldn't help but feel sorry for
him. He happens to be awfully
nice. The way she was treating
him she'd never see him again.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
1t sounds as though Mother
lis the real culprit in this case.
She has saddled Maureen with
too big a responsibility. Maui
reen is taking it too seriously.
She is net old enough to know
how to handle it tactfully.
Mother ought to realize that
dating customs may have
changed, but social relation
ships are fundamentally pretty
much the same as they always
were
Mother is more frightened than
is necessary. Wanda does not
need constant supervision in all
her contacts with boys. She
simply needs a place TO 60 for
advice on a tricky question. She
needs to feel that she can talk
things over. Her mother should
not wash her hands Of this re-
sponsibility.
Maureen can be Of help too.
She can give her opinion and
fill in gaps in Mothers knowledge
Of present-day dating customs.
But she. like Mother. should wait
until Wanda comes for advice.
She should not supervise her
sisters conduct with boys and
definitely not comment in
gestures or words while the boy
is present.
Wanda has right to find her
own personal Way Of dealing
with boys. One girls mistake"
may be another's best move.
Wanda must make some
mistakes-but they should be
her own. No coaching from the
