FAMOUS FABLES
BY E. E. EDGAR

SURRENDER: A society ma
trone noted for her wearisome
parties was trying to snare
humorist Oliver Herford as q
dinner guest.
Twill you come Monday
night?" she asked him.
II can't" pleaded Herford.
81 must finish some illustra-
tons for a magazine"
Lets make it Tuesday" she
suggested.

appointment with my pub
Usher"
Then why not make 1t
Wednesday," she persisted.
mo. I have tickets for the
theater."
81 do not discourage easily,
Mr.. Herford," she warned him.
How about Thursday"
"Oh, WELL" sighed HEREFORD.
"Let's make It Monday"
CONTRIBUTION: Financier
Russell Sage usually thought
twice before parting with
money. At one time, there was
a drive on for q new hospital.
One Of the members Of the
fund raising committee had re-
ceived contributions from q
number Of prominent persons.
Listed among the contribu-
tors was Mrs. Russell Sage,
$780," Confident that the pres
ence Of Mrs. Sage's name would
inspire at least a like contribu-
ton from the financier, the
solicitor approached Sage.
The latter took one look at
his wife's name and reached
for his pen. The others eyes
lit up in anticipation Of a
check. But the checkbook did
not follow. Without a word.
Sage wrote mfr" before his
wife's name and handed back
the list.

Miss Wattles went to bed in

tapped on the door. Did she

How to
STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
Dealing With a 'Tortuous' Heart
BY DR.. PETER J. sTEINcRoHN

"Dr. Steincrohn. in one of
your columns that appeared in
the paper in Asheville, N. c.,
you gave an account of a most
remarkable man." 1t was about
a 50-year-old man who never
had a headache
81 am writing this to say that
I am past 90, and have never
had such a thing as a head
ache. and have never had any
illness. aside from those that
are incidental to childhood.
Moreover, / never have &C.
easion to take anything in the
nature of a laxative. I consider
this a fairly good record, and
ought to qualify me for the
remarkable class" Sincerely,
G.. E. W.ns@e
Dear DR.. SteincrOhn: My
husband, who Is 81, has suf-
fered what the doctor calls
q cerebral thrombosis. Will
You explain what it is? Thank
you. Mrs. N. C.
The underlying process is
similar to that found in coro-
nary artery disease. 1t is called
atherosclerosis. This, in turn.
is due to faulty cholesterol
metabolism that narrows the
lumen of the arteries. When
that happens in a blood vessel
in the brain we call it cerebral
thrombosiS-if 1t has completely
closed of the artery.
If the artery affected is quite
small. there may be few symp-
toms; sometimes only head
ache or a dizzy spell. If the
artery is large in a vital area,
the patient may have paralysis
Of arm, leg and speech. Extent
of recovery will depend upon
how much collateral new cir
culation forms.
Sometimes cerebral embolism
(from a small clot carried in
the blood stream will simulate
thrombosis. If it is small,
paralysis and other symptoms
may clear up within "a hours.
In cerebral hemorrhage (where
the artery has actually rup-
tured) there is Inconsistencies,
followed by paralysis that is
usually permanent.
Treatment Of these cerebral
accidents" usually is more sue
cessful the sooner we can diff
ferentiate one condition from
the other.

REPORTER
Story Of How a Friendship Ended

She talked. I nodded. We sat
in the morning sun at the
Phoenix Stadium and I could
listen and still watch Dusty
Rhodes miss two pitches and
slam the next one through
second so hard that he almost
tore an infielder's arm off. She
was pleasant and pretty and
the wattles were just beginning
to show on her neck and the
eyes looked sun-squinted even
in the shade.
She could talk. She never saw
a play. The hair was dark and
lit lifted slightly every time she
turned her head. The tone was
sincere and she told me how
often she went to church. She
had been married once, but it
was all over. Men are no good.
even the best of them. Her slim
curving brows were about five
feet from the spiked heels.
Between them was a size 10
dress and two strands of choker
pearls.
Willie Mays leaned against
the batter's cage and said, II
gotta hit. Somebody gotta let
me hit" and Hank Sauer said,
"Well, get in there and hit. "
Her trouble, she said, was that
she was too good-hearted. A
soft touch. The hands were
long and bony and the blue
veins made little forks in the
skin. If she hadn't been so good
to everybody, she wouldn't be
such a nervous wreck now.
An Easy Mark
Everybody took advantage Of
her. Take Dot. Dot had been
her girl friend for oh, maybe
is years. They had more on
each other than pair Of bank
robbers. Dot, she told me. was
a wonderful girl. She had looks
and figure and she came from
a fine family. But drink?
Brother. You know how mixed
up a girl can get when she's
confused.
Dot was born confused. She
liked men but the men she
liked ALWAYS turned out to be
married three months later.
Then she would start drinking
and it was up to Miss Wattles
to wiring her out. Goodhesrted?
Too much so. she said. if YOU
don't mind me saying it. One
time I gave her $50 because
the bank threatened to throw
her in jail for writing checks.
Another time she wanted to
move out of a hotel but they
held her luggage until Miss
Wattles gave her $3.50. Always
a touch. Always a desperate
touch. And always Dot said
that she was about to begin a
new life.
The kid, Peter Burnside. was
pitching and he had that nice

ball came in like a blur. The
batter swung and you could
hear the bullwhip snap as the
ball smashed into the catcher's
mitt. 1t was like trying to hit
a butterfly with a club.

drove Miss Wattles crazy, she
said. Over the years. Dot fell

LAW IN THE NEWS
Means Considered
To Junk Junk Mail

mail refused by the addressee
shall be returned to central
Offices for disposition. So If
you meet the mailman at your
mailbox each day and decline
to accept the Junk" you don't
have to take 1t. But this would
be a hardship on both the mail
man and you. so there seems
little point in it. Also. you can
stop delivery Of all mail If you
choose: but you cannot very
well ask the post Office depart
ment to sort through mail adj
dressed to you and weed out
what you don't want.
Congress Could Act
Perhaps the most effective
idea would be to organize
enough pressure against junk
mail to get Congress to do
something about 1t.
Congress has pretty broad
powers under the Constitution
to protect the mails. prevent
harmful use of postal facilities
and exclude certain types of
communications. Whether it
could regulate junk mail in
such a way as to substantially
reduce its output or eliminate
it entirely may be a nice legal
question.
But. particularly in view of
the current postal deficits. it
may yet be tried, at least to
the extent Of lacking up rates
on certain mail advertising
schemes.

Dear DIR. SteincrOhn: i read
your column in yesterdays
newspaper pertaining to An.
gina PectOris. I've had angina
for Is years. / only get chest
pains when l cook a big meal
and clean house on the same
day. My doctor says that my
heart is tOrtuOus. What does
that mean? My son is a sur
geOn in the Army Air Force
and in command Of a hospital
in Germany. l don't want to
ask him because l don't want
him to worry about my all
ments. And I don't want to
ask my doctor, who never
charges me for treatments or
calls, because / don't want
to impose on him.
! am 20 years old. Other
wise / feel fine except for
arthritis in my knees at times.
Aspirin takes good care Of
that. Thank yOu.-Mrs. MN.
The term "tortuous" in rela-
ton to the heart usually means
that the large artery called the
"aorta" has become elongated
1t has lost its elasticity due tC
arteriosclerosis. If your heart
is not enlarged, a tortuous aorts
at 70 does not, in itself, indicate
undue trouble or danger.
The most important part OF
treatment for your condition
is to plan your day so that you
do not overload your heart
For example, cook the "big
meal" on one day; clean your
house on the next. And put the
word "tortuous" out of your
mind. In looking at x-rays Of
the heart and doing microscopic
examinations over the years,
recall few-if any-persons over
10 who didn't have the con-
dition.

I'd rather have the house and

Then there are my things.
I've accumulated so many

THE COUNCILS VIEW
All the experts are behind
you. Mrs. D. G.! The experience
of many other widowed women
has been that giving up a home
has brought considerable grief.
Despite her children's well
coming arms, Mrs. D. g. will
feel dispossessed when she
walks in rooms that are not her
own among things that are not
her own. The things" Mrs.
D. G. has accumulated rep
resent her tastes, her interests,
her personality. They are her
attachment to life.
Even if her children COM
promise and are willing to
tolerate" a part Of her collec-
lions, Mrs. D. G. would have
to cut down her ownership to
suit their convenience. Imme-
diately she is placed in a sub
servient position.
However, 1t is not necessary,
in this day Of housing short
ages, for Mrs. D. G. to be lonely
in q big house. She should con-
slider renting a portion Of her
home, preferably to a family.

Krushchev Again DenOunces Anti Party Group
By HAROLD K. MILKS

MOSCOW, R - Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev has hurled a bitter new attack at the Malenkov- Molotov "antiparty group" blam- ing it for major shortcomings in Soviet agriculture.
 Khrushchev's new blast, made at a meeting of the Soviet Com munist Party's Central Commit tee, came after a new press cam pagn against the five high off cials Khrushchev toppled from power in the Kremlin shakeup in July, 1857.
 Accounts of the speech in Tass, the Soviet news agency, gave no indication of whether further measures would be taken, aginst the five men - ex-Premiers Geor- gi Malenkov and Nicolai Bulganin, former foreign ministers V. M. Molotov and Dimitri Shepilov, and former economic czar LaZar Kag- anovich. All have been banished to obscure posts in the Soviet Union.
 Nor was there any mention of General Ivan Serov, who was re- moved last week from his key post as chief of state security; the Soviet Unions top police official, Serov's future has not been an- nounced, but so far he has not been linked with the antiparty group.

FLORENCE, Arizona, R - Two weeks ago, Warden Frank Eyman led 25 lawmen in putting down a riot at the Arizona State Prison.
 Now he is seeking a commuta tion of sentence for a convicted murderer who stood by him dur ing the insurrection.
 Eyman told this story to the State Board of Pardons and Pa roles:
 When the riot started December 4, Eyman entered the prison yard in the midst of wildly shouting convicts. Someone yelled, "Kill the warden"
 Then Otis Taylor, AT, a Negro serving a life term for murder, stepped out of the pack and stood beside the warden. Taylor warned the convicts: "This is a good war den. You'll have to kill me first before you kill the warden"
 Then Taylor and the warden, side by side, walked unharmed through the prison yard.
 "When I needed a good man, '' Eyman told the board, The stood beside me. I recommend commit tation."
 The board took the request un- der advisement.
