FAMOUS FABLES
BY E. E. EDGAR

COUNT: The elder John D.
Rockefeller was never one to
let money slip through his
fingers, even insignificant
sums. 3,
At one time, he took his
family to Europe on a vaca-
ton. Rockefeller checked ev-,
cry hotel bill carefully. One
Monday, when he was going
over the bills, he noticed that
he had been charged for two
chickens on Sundays dinner.
John D. did not recall or
dering two birds, so he called
the family together to find
out what each had eaten.
After ascertaining that three
legs had been consumed, he
OKd the bill, but not be-
fore he had reprimanded the
clan for failing to eat the
fourth leg.
REGRET: Noel Coward
was invited to a cocktail
party where the conversation
promised to be even dryer
than the martins.
He tried to Squirm out OF
it. but could not do so. Ac-
cepting his fate, he sent the
hostess a note which read:

Mrs. w. j. O'C.: Your first

what would you do if you
had blood in the urine?" asks
Mr.. K. P. of San Francisco.
II noticed it for the first
time yesterday. I have no
pain or other symptoms"
If you have not had any
acute infection lately,
chances are that is not the
cause.
If the bleeding persists,
or recurs, I believe you
should have a cyStoscopic to
rule out chronic bladder
wall infection (cystitis),
stone in the bladder, prostate
enlargement or a growth.
THESE BEING Mega
TIVE, the doctor will pass a
tube into each ureter and
with the aid of an injected
dye and X-ray examination,
rule out the possibility of ure-
teral or kidney stones or stric-
lures. X-rays will also show
whether or not there are
stones, growths or infection
in the kidneys. Urine exami-
nation and culture and blood
studies will also be helpful
in making a diagnosis. / have
known patients who bled once
or twice. yet all examina-
lions were negative. They
went along with no recurrence
of bleeding. Nevertheless, it
is always best to play safe;
bleeding is often a life-saving
warning in many illnesses.
Dear DR.. Steincrohn: My
husband had a severe coro-
nary attack a few weeks ago.
The intern said when he was
admitted to the hospital he
had no pulse and blood pres
sure of not much more than
zero. He told me that our doc
tor saved his life by giving
him Levophed into a wen.
Can you tell me about this
drug? Mrs. L. D. S.
The purpose of this drug,
and others similar to it. is
to raise blood pressure quickly
when a patient is suffering
from shock. The drug is called

is to be supposed that an Ar

Archbishop Piazza also said
his information was that the
body Of Gen. Peron's wife. Eva.
has received Christian burial
in a foreign country, but he did
not identify the country and
said the report was unconfirmed.
The Archbishop was inter-
viewed on q teievision program.
Queried about his recent as
sertion that those who set fire
to churches In Argentina on
June l6, 1855, we're not Peron-
istas but Freemasons, Msgr.
Plaza charged that Masonry is
the brains behind every move
ment against the church and
supported Gen. Peron from the
moment he turned against the
church.

Shall I continue to
work." asks Mrs. A. w. of
Woodbridge, N. j. II have just
had a complete physical
examination. My doctor told
me I have nothing to worry
about; that I have an
organic murmur which he
says I probably have had all
my life Il am SD. I work
and have worked for the
past II years. since my twin
daughters were H."
Your job is to find out
what kind of murmur you
have. If it is organic, it has
been caused by some disease
or congenital condition.
Murmurs in themselves
usually are not so important
as the underlying heart
trouble. Does your heart x
ray show that there is car
diac enlargement? What is
your pressure? How is your
electrocardiogram? What are
your symptoms. if any? Is
there any shortness OF
breath, ankle swelling, or
unusual fatigue?
BEFORE YOU CAN have
the answer regarding your
work potentialities, these
questions need to be answered
and evaluated.
Dear DR.. Steincrohn: My
father who is SO years of age
has suffered for years with
artery trouble. He has con-
suited many doctors. Recent
X-rays showed what they
call a "sacculated aneurysm"
(the size of a footbalD on
the aorta. They say nothing
can be done except give
medication for pain.
AS I live alone with my
father, I am under constant
strain; am afraid to leave
him alone. Any suggestions?
Thanks. Mrs. G. M.
go along with your doc
tor. Operation seems out of
the question at this time.
Give him as much medicine
as is necessary to keep him
pain-free.

DEAR ABBY: Our home is
so close to our neighbours that
we can hear everything that
goes on over there without
meaning to. The mother
(She'S about 45) screams at
her 4-year-old child constant
ly, I can hear, Patsy, don't
climb on that! Patsy, get out
of there! Patsy, you're driv-
ing me crazy!" It's like a
record being played over and
over.
They never let the child
play with the neighbor child
rem. They keep her cooped
up in the house all day. The
poor child is a nervous wreck
and shutters so badly she
can't be understood. When
her mother isn't yelling at
her, she is slapping her. The
crying is more than I can
stand. I'd like to help. If l
could. But how? ! think the
mother is a mental case. The
husband is about IS and this
is their only child.
INTERESTED, NOT NOISY.
Bake a pie, cake or cook
les and call on your neighbOr.
Cultivate her friendship so
that you tell her as a friend
mot a meddling neighbOrl
that Patsy needs the COM

Sympathize with her. And
suggest that her lack Of

to get out Of bed. This is
true. ! felt that way yester-
day when, in the first hour,
the orange juice was sour,
the dog soiled the rug, ! al
most broke a toe on a bureau
leg and found myself brush
ing my teeth with Ben-Gay.
1t doesn't pay. An intelli-
gent man might have hoped
right back into the beddye-
bye with something funny
like Lloyd Rosenfield's hilari-
our book Adam Had a Rib"
In my state, this would have
brought on convulsions or a
neighbor who can't stand
laughter in the morning. I
remained vertical and read
the mail and learned that the
Bureau Of Internal Revenue
would like to have an extra
TRANSMISSION from me.
My father was here. He
said that the worst of the
bad days hit his friend Tom
my O'Connor around 1912.
Patrolman O'Connor and my
father worked out Of the
Fifth Precinct in Jersey City.
They were pals. Whatever
they did wrong. they did to-
gether. The thing they did
best was to get Capt. Nugent
mad.
O'Connor got out of bed
and his wife hit him with a
cup. In her hand was q let
ter from a woman. When the
lump on his head began to
look like a soft-boiled egg
sticking out of a cup, the pa
trolman proved to his wife
that the letter was not his:
it was evidence in a WIFE
beating case. -.
I The lump was hidden
under a fawn-colored helmet
when O'Connor went to work.
He reported in and Sergt.
Finney told him to get right
out and hurry up to Van
Nostrand avenue. A citizen
had spotted a big snake.
Obviously the man had been
out all night for a week.
There were no squad cars,
so O'Connor ran up Ocean
avenue carrying his night
stick
WHEN HE REACHED the
premises in question, there
was a snake all right. It was
a boa constructor and it was
% feet long. O'Connor de-
manded to know where it
came from. The man said
he was having breakfast with
his family when the thing
reared it's head up and began
looking over the coffee and
buns. The man had taken
off, pointing out the way to
his wife and youngsters.
O'Connor didn't know what
to do with the snake. 1t look
ed tired. Big, p a tic h es Of
scales we're coming off. He
wanted to shoot it and be
done with the assignment,
but Capt. Nugent might have
other ideas. So O'Connor got
a rope, looped it around the
boa and, with the help OF
three men, began to drag it
down Ocean avenue.
He had a crowd that would
have looked good in Pat
Moran's ball park. The cop
sweated and pulle d. The
snake didn't care. They
dragged it to the Fifth Pre-
cinct and up the steps. Capt.
Nugent was behind the desk,
talking to Sergt. Finney.
The Captain took one
startled look and almost
jumped into the sergeant's
lap. Get that thing out OF
heren" he roared. O'Connor
should have remained in bed
He got the snake out. Later
he learned that a circus in
Hudson County Park owned
the snake and the trainer
had taken him home to med
icate him. He had escaped in
the night and showed up in a
warm kitchen.

chosen this way of life be-
cause we like it. We both
work very hard and we like
a peaceful, well-ordered ex-
istence.
We lived that kind of life
until we took my widowed
father to live with us. Dad
had not been well and my
sister and brother had no
room for him in their place.
I'm not complaining about
Dad. He is no trouble at all.
What does annoy me Is that
my sister and her husband
have no hesitation about
dropping in with their brood
at any time. It's constant
open house. The children are
undisciplined and turn the
place topsy-turvy every time
they come.
I told my sister off about
this and she is furious. She
claims she has the right to
see Dad any time. But after
all, it's still my home. I have
some rights, too.
Anita R.-Alice is the old
est in our family and she has
always set herself up as big
Boss. 1t was her idea to have
Dad live with her. She hardly
gave him a chance to decide
for himself, He would have
been much better off with me.
Dad loves to have the
grandchildren around him.
He can't get enough of them.
Our children aren't undiscip-
lined or bad-mannered as
Alice claims. She is a real old
maid about her home and
can't stand anything moved
a quarter of an inch. You
can't put four youngsters be-
tween the ages of 3 and II in
strait jackets
After we leave Alice always
calls up and says Dad has a
very bad headache from the
noise. Then when I ask him
about it the next day he says
it was nothing at all. The
kids were fine. Sometimes I
think Alice is jealous because
she has no children of her
own.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
We don't envy Dad. His
choice seems to be bedlam or
a sealed dungeon.
These two young women
are scrapping like children
for the dominant position in
relation to their father. Alice
has put Anita in her place by
taking Dad over physically.
But Anita feels she holds the
trump hand in so far as she
has the children, who repre-
sent continuation of her
fathers life line.
Obviously young children
can't be held, completely in
check. 1t is equally obvious
that it is important for this
elderly man to see his grand
children. But is it necessary
for all of them to be present
at one time? An elderly man
who is not well would find
there are limits to his toler-
ance of a group of rambunc-
tious youngsters. He is prob
ably glad to see them and
doesn't want to discourage
visits. so he makes light OF
the situation.
Cut out the Scrapping, girls
Recognize that you each hold
an important place in Dads
life-also that you must each
have some respect for the
others way of life. 1t isn't
hard to make compromises
and adjustments when the
basic principle of thought
fulneSs for the other person
is accepted. +..s
