THE CASE OF
THE POISONED DRINK
BY DONALD J. SOBOL

BY DONALD J. SOBOL
"We're holding Eddie Jor-
don on suspicion of murder"
Inspector Winters told DR..
Haledjian.
Yesterday Jordon and
Harry Lewis ate lunch to-
gether at a crowded restau-
rant. When and how Jordon
slipped the poison into Lewis
drink in front of all those
people is a mystery.
Both men ordered club
sandwiches and soft drinks"
continued the inspector. Just
as the waiter brought the
drinks. Lewis was summoned
to the telephone. The head
waiter says that Lewis COM
planned to him that he'd
picked up a dead line
"You believe that the call
was a decoy to allow Jordon
a chance to poison the
drink" asked Haledjian
$50 it seems. We know the
drinks were all right when
they were broug hit to the
table. The waiter admits it."
"Admits?"
"The waiter says Lewis or
dered a root beer and Jordon
a sarsaparilla. He placed the
order in the kitchen. and
when he returned to pick up
the drinks, he didn't know
which was which. The chef
didn't remember either.
I'm glasses, the two drinks
look alike" went on the in
spector. The waiter admits
he slipped one to find out
which. He tasted the root
beer, which Lewis ordered.
That means the root beer
wasn't poisoned till after

We have been married nearly
three years and are fairly
happy-aside from the in-law
problem. Ken's parents are
the problem-his mother par
ticularly. She is very critical
of me. She has told me in no
uncertain terms that it's time
I had a baby. She doesn't APP
prove of working wives and
always has something nasty
to say.
She doesn't love me as a
daughter and l don't see why
I am supposed to shower her
with affection the way my
husband seems to want. My
parents are far more inter-
esting to talk to than his.
but Ken says we have to
spend more time with his
parents. ! am tired of trying
to please them.
Kenneth J.-Arlene sets up
this competition about whose
parents should get more at
tention. It's pretty silly. My
parents are still trying to re-
cuperate from the loss Of my
older sister two years ago.
They are lonely and quite un-
happy and I think we owe it
to them to spend as much
time as possible. Arlene's par
ents still have two of the
younger children at home
with them. They aren't in
need of any cheering.
Before we were married.
Arlene used to complain about
her own parents. but now she
talks about how perfect they
are and how awful mine are.
It's true my mother is tact
less at times, but she means
no harm.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
We hold no brief for Ken
neth's mothers interference.
Her comments are in bad
taste.
This, however, doesn't mean
that Arlene is justified in
making snide criticisms Of
her husbands parents and
taking a huffy attitude. 1t
would be far better if she
spoke up and told her
mother-in-law in a respectful
manner that the question Of
children and of her working
are personal matters.
Arlene shows some resent
ment of the fact that Ken
neth's mother doesn't love
her as daughter, but she
shows little inclination to give
Of her love as a daughter.
Like many immature indi-
viduals, Arlene has trans
ferred her beefS against her
own parents to her in-laws.
She demands that parents
be without faults. that they
live up to her ideals. But she
is a lot less strict in her
standards for her own be-
havior.

ward, or the waiter would
have been poisoned, too"
"A kitchen is a busy place"
said Haledjian. 1T was easy
for the waiter to slip the
poison into the drink he
served Lewis"
The inspector looked
startled. "But-why?"
"Und oubtedly because
somebody-perhaps Jordon-
paid him well. You won't
have any trouble. The waiter
will confess once you confront
him with his lie"

BarCOmmittee
Report Backs
Highest Court

CHICAGO. Aug. Is (AP).-l
A committee Of the American
Bar Association contends the |
security Of the United States
has not been endangered by
any Supreme Court decisions.
The Committee on the Bill
OF Rights will submit this adj
visory report to the ABA House |
Of Delegates meeting this
month in Miami Beach.
The report analyses "a con-
troversial court decisions that
were reviewed earlier by the
bars Committee on Commu-
mist Tactics, Strategy and OBJ
jectives.
The Communist Tactics
Committee referred to the
court decisions as illustrative
of how our security has been
weakened" A resolution, based
on the report and adopted by
the ABA House Of Delegates
In February, did not contain
this phrase, however.
Security Not Impaired
The Bill of Rights Commit
tee disagreed with the Com
munist Tactics Committees
viewpoint on the decisions. 1t
said in a report made public
yesterday:
This committee is unable
to see any indication that the
security of the Nation or of
the States has been impaired
by the Supreme Court. No
matter what the sympathies of
the bar may be in specific in
stances of litigation, there
should be no question Of their
sympathy with and their re-
gard for the institution of a
courageous and independent
judiciary. even though this
necessarily means that from
time to time decisions will be
handed down disappointing to
the interests of someone"
One Member Dissented
The committee is headed
by Joseph Harrison, Newark
IN. j. attorney.
]. Cleo Thompson of Dallas,
a committee member, dis
sented and said in a minority
report:
Il, for one. believe that our
national security is one of
such great Importance and
concern that when doubts or
uncertainties arise, everything
should give way to. national Sc
curity or else the bill of rights
and all will be lost"
The majority report said If
Congress diSagrees with the
Supreme Courts Interpretation
OF a law lit can promptly pass

ing son, James A. Garfield. :"
That was it.
James Abram Garfield, 10th
president of the United States,
was born in Orange, Cuyahoga
county, November 19, 1881, and
died at Elberon, New Jersey,
September 10, 1881. His father
was Abram Garfield and his
mother the former Elaza Ballou
from New Hampshire. The FAM
lily had come to the Western Re-
serve in 1880.
From the age of three the boy
was home taught and helped a
little through the neighborhood
country schools. He worked be-
tween times at manual labor and
on the neighbors' farms. Shortly
after coming to Ohio the father
died of fever and thereafter the
mother raised her four children
alone - the hard way.
At 16 young Garfield tried to
ship as sailor on Lake Erie
but they would not have him so
he got work driving the mules

stone," used as his study and Il
brary.
The death of President Gar
field was a shock to the nation
and 1t became noised around that
his family was left in none too
good circumstances. 1t was Cyrus
w. Field, of Atlantic cable fame,
who originated a popular sub
scription in their behalf. Field
publcized, received and cared
for the donations himself.
A visitor who found the tall,
slender, 60-year-old man of mil
lions in his small, plainly fur
nished office, a back room on
Broadway, New York, saw on the
table a half-peck of letters, all
with contributions to the Garfield
Fund, all received on that one
mail, just in. These lad was
opening, taking the names and
amounts of each for publication
in next days newspapers. The
bills and checks were piling up.
Besides the youth, Field had an
elderly, dignified confidential
clerk with a cockney accent there
with him.
In a few days the Garfield
Fund amounted to $3.50, 900 in
sums from single contributions of
a dollar to the thousands.
Some came from working peo-
pie = some from millionaires. 1t
poured in so bounteously that
Field had to stop it.
Thereafter, however, the Gar
field family were able to live in
the old home in comfort and style
as any presidents widow should.
Cyrus Field was always doing
something like that. 1t is related
that about that time he put up a
big monument to Major Andre,
the British spy, on American soil.
He did it out of exuberance of
good feeling towards those
bloody Britishers" for allowing
him to fasten one end of his long
wire cable to England, then lend
him their biggest ship, the Great
Eastern, to lay the rest of the
cable across the Atlantic to
America. One dark night some
body who had no stomach for
glorifying the memory of a Brit
ish spy put a lot of gunpowder
beneath the statue, put a match
to it and next morning it wasn't
there.
In a little room of the old Gar
field house Grandma Garfield
rocked and knitted. She then was
IS but still vigorous and read her
Bible every day. The presidents
last letter was to her: Wash
ington, Aug. IL, 1881. Dear Moth
er: Do not be disturbed by con-
flicting reports of my condition.

A. AT this age the sleeping habits
are fairly well fixed and the
year-old can roll over to any
desired position at will. Try plac-
ing him on his stomach before he
goes to sleep. If this doesn't
work, try to change the sleeping

in some cases, not so good in
others. Ear surgery is the last
resort. When certain other inner
ear conditions cause the dizziness,
head noises and deafness of true
Meniere's disease, doctors refer
to it as Meniere's Syndrome,
meaning a group of symptoms.
Here, the chances for a cure may
be better than in true Meniere's
disease. For example, the inner
ear condition causing the symp-
toms may be due to an allergic
upset. If so, treat the allergy and
