first year Of life. Then, as II

fever and asthma increases.
Symptoms Of hay fever rarely
appear until the third year. As
the sensitive child becomes
older, he is less sensitive to
foods and more so to pollens.
Allergic infants react to more
than one food. The chief Of

first bid for the House Of Rep
resentatives. Missouri Congress-
man Dewey Short made UP his
mind to cover every inch Of his
Ozark hills district which bor-
ders on Arkansas.
One day, travelling along q
blackwoods road, he came upon
"a group of farmers holding an
outdoor meeting. Short was out
of his car in a jiify. He walked
over to the, chairman and of
fered to make a speech, The
offer was promptly accepted.
Short was in fine form. For
an hour and a half. the farm.
ers. hung on his every word.
When he had finished. he re-
ceived a tlIunderous ovation.
Pleased with his performance.
Short posted himself next to
the chairman and personally
greeted each of his listeners,
making sure that his name was
enunciated clearly each time.
When he was about to leave,
the chairman shook his hand
and said:
"Sir, that was a great speech.

much we Arkansas folks ap.
preciate your coming down here

remarked Guillermo Espinosa
head Of the music division oil
the Pan American Union, before

One can't vouch for the &C.
curacy Of the generality, but
there is no doubt that Maria
Ines Becerra, the pianist in
question, lived up to Mr.. Espi-
nosa's appraisal. The young
girl. a pupil of Walter Giese-
king. Is even better than good;
she is excellent.
Beethoven's sonata in E, Opus
100, usually finds its best inter-

but among the mature, for,
more than in most music, the
notes are only an indication
Of the feeling. Miss Becerra
had no trouble at all with the
notes, and she followed the pat
terms of Beethoven's most in
innate thoughts with devotion
and great understanding.
One obstacle to the perform
ance Of this sonata she met no
more successfully than any
other pianist of our time-an
obstacle that is posed by the
modern piano with the thun-
derous bass. The climax Of the
sonata is a tremendous domi-
nant pedal point which on
Beethoven's Broadwood Acould
peal out without covering what
goes on above it. With the
rodern piano one always hears
Jnly the bass, and it is no use
playing more quietly, for the
whole passage boils too passion
ately for that palliative.

PeriIs in Diagnosing Appendicitis
By DR.. PETER J. sTEINcRoHN

Dear DR.. SteincrOhn: viii
you write about how to dag
nose appendicitis in q child?
Sincerely, Mr.. ii. C.
. The diagnosis is often diff
cult. If you are seeking in
formation so that you may
make the diagnosis when your
child has a stomach ache, please
repeat these words three times:
( A LAYMAN SHOULD NEVER
BUT YER - TRY TO
DIAGNOSE APPENDICITIS.
Irecall a number Of instances
in which the bottle Of castor
oil. in the hands Of a parent
who twas sure it was only
collie" ended in fatality.
There was the mother who
was certain that her 10-year-
old boy had eaten too many
green apples. There was the
father who said later that he
thought his 8-year-old boys
pain was due to having eaten
! too much watermelon. In both
cases, they came to operation
days too late and died Of rup-
tured appendicitis and peri
tonitis.
These parents had tried to
make their own diagnosis. One
told me the reason she was
"sure" her child didn't have
appendicitis was because he
didn't vomit. I thought every
patient with appendicitis has
nausea and vomiting"
The father said: II pressed
on his right side myself. He
was not specially tender there.
He said 1t hurt all over his
stomach. That was the reason
I didn't call q doctor right
away. ! thought appendix pain
Is always on the right SIDE"
Here, therefore, are things
you should know:
/. Never take on the life-or-
death responsibility Of making
your own diagnosis Of Appendix
citis-in your child or in any
one elses.
2. Acute appendicitis can be
present without nausea or
vomiting.

For this. they owe no explana-
ton to anyone, except perhaps
the disappointed bridegroom
and his family. Daisy's state
ment Of her feelings should be
enough for them.
The L. RS are all wrong tc
scold their daughter, but Daisy
should realize that she is some
what to blame for their severe
upset. Her fault lies not in
breaking the engagement when
she felt 1t was necessary but in
refusing to discuss her doubts
with her parents when they
first arose. She might have
spared herself many tears and
sleepless nights If she had
talked things out gradually.
The parents lack Of sympa-
thetic understanding and
DaiSy's reluctance to talk
things over with them earlier
suggest that there has not been
enough open discussion Of i'm
portant matters in this family
Perhaps the L. RS have placed
too much emphasis upon what
people" think and too little
upon helping their daughter
understand the needs Of her
own heart and mind. She seems
afraid to reveal this to herself,
as well as Il. them, because she
anticipates criticism.
1t Is possible that there were
more and other reasons for
Daisy's last-minute withdrawal
from marriage. She can only
discover them If she feels she
has the right to her emotions
and her independent mind.
When she has the courage to
understand her own heart she
may be able to form more sat-
isfactory relationships or to

The fact is thai I had been
