FAMOUS FABLES
BY E. E. EDGAR

Expenses: Home-run king
Babe Ruth tossed his money
around with an abandon that
was awe-inspiring. It took
some doing for his wife to get
him to cut down on his ex-
penditures, narrates Mrs.
Babe Ruth in 1.-THE Babe and
T." written with Bill Slocum
ITO humor me. he let me
sign the checks. said that
any time he wanted a check,
I would sign it. Ano / kept
my word. But the Babe had
to do an awful lot Of explain
ing to pry a check from me
that was good for more than
$50.
Lord, how that man could
eat up $50 checks, though.
He was always saying, Write
me a check for $50 And ]
was always saying. But / just
wrote you a check for $50.
He would say, I know, but /
had to go to the barber shop.
I needed some cigars and
chewing gum
1T was a firing sort Of
thing for both of us. but it
served the purpose Of cutting
down on such Ruthian habits
as tipping a hundred dollars
for a 35-cent ham sandwich. +"

ton? That was a pretty dirty
trick to play on people who
are retiring in 1859, don't
you think?
Let's change the subject.
OK, Well talk about
medical bills. Have you had
arthritis lately? And what
do you think about the price
you pay to get it treated
after IS?
Sees Mistake
Since the business world
says I can't work after IS.
and since it will pay me only
one-fourth of my income
when it retires me. how
come I can't get my arthritis
cured for one-fourth the
cost? And by the way, have
you seen how much medicine
costs-if you can scrape up
enough cash to pay the doc
tor to prescribe some?
What do you mean getting
arthritis?
I'm old. Remember? ]
worked through World War /,
World War II. the Korean
War, the depression and bath
tub gin. I'm people. And
people get arthritis, harden
ing of the arteries, gray hair,
false teeth and indigestion. Dc
you think I made a mistake
in being people?
No doubt about it. You
should have been an ear OF
Iowa corn. Then America
would have put you in a nice
aluminium house, kept the
bugs out of you and paid a
premium to preserve you. You

smaller, Mr.. Derthick said. The

That Is a fourth. Will my

You're being difficult.
I am not. You and my land

should cut their prices down
one-fourth for me since my

No.
Then how do I, make 1t?
Get another job.
Now you are being stupid.

On a chilly night last Decem-
Der, I crossed the bridge into
South Norfolk. Va, and found
the Oscar F. Smith High
School. Lights burned in the
classrooms, the study halls, the
auditorium. the library. The
grounds outside we're quiet and
the halls deserted.
1t was a little after 8 pm.
Isn't that the hour when
teen-agers are supposed to be
munching popcorn in the NOV
les? Or hot-rodding around
town looking for a traffic ac-
cident to get hurt in?
There was an air of purpose
about this school.
They Want to be There
1t was a night high school.
The students all came from
nearby Norfolk, where the
regular schools had been closed
in the dispute over Federal
courts orders to integrate. In
South Norfolk, authorities Of
fered their facilities-at night
for all who wanted to use
them.
More than 800 boys and girls
did.
when Norfolk's schools
reopened for the second SEM
ester, SIS. continued at Smith
High, most of them for the
reason that they did not
want to interrupt their school
work in mid-term.)
They had begun at 4 in
the afternoon, taken a half
hour break at 5:45, and gone
back to work. The final bell
would ring at 8 o'clock.
No truant officer compelled
them to be in school. They
were there because they were
determined to get a diploma.
Adjustment No Problem
E. E. Brickell, the principal
whose own hours at that time
were from 8 am. to / pm
said attendance was running
better than IS per cent. Dis
ciplinary problems? Practically
none. Grades? Above average

DEAR ABBY: MY Sunday
School teacher says that God
is everywhere. Please put this
letter in the paper and maybe
he will see It.
Dear God: Why did you let
my brother die? When he was
hit by the car my mother
prayed to you to let him live
but you wouldn't. My little
brother was only two years old
and he couldn't have sinned
so bad that you had to pun
ish him that way. Everyone
says you are good and can do
anything you want to do. You
could have saved my little
brother but you let him die.
You broke my mothers heart.
How can ! love you?
PETER
Your question is one that
has troubled religious men for
thousands Of years. One great
thinker wrote a book about 1t.
II Is called Job and is part of
the Bible. It says that the suf-
fering Of innocent people Is
something we cannot UNDER
stand. But this much Is sure:
Death is not a punishment. II
Is one Of life's mysteries.
Speak to your minister, Peter,
Communicate with God BY
praying. and He will help you
in your search for wisdom and
goodness and help make your
Mommy happy again.

Suppose you were about 80
and wanted a child very bad
ly. And suppose that you
knew your thyroid was un-
deractiye. In fact, you were
taking thyroid pills q grains
per day. for the past 8 years.
What would you do? Let me
tell you what Mrs. P. K. age
%, of Washington, D. C. did.
Dear DIR. Steincrohn, she
writes. ION my own initiative.
without cosulting my doctor,
! increased the dosage of thy
roid to 4 grains a day. Two
months later I became preg-
nant.
MY doctor didn't think the
increase in thyroid was re-
sponsible. Since my baby was
born I've been put back on 2
grains a day. My protein
bound iodine is now 40.
II have been trying unsuc-
cessfully to have another
child.
I'VE HAD SOME patients on
thyroid for a long while, but
they never became pregnant
even on large doses. A few
others seemed to respond to a
half grain or one grain a day.
We really don't know the
answer. If we did, childless-
ness would not be the discom-
forting problem it is.
In view of your normal
protein bound iodine, Mrs. p.
K, / certainly go along with
your DOCTOR grains a day
seems sufficient. Your preg-
nancy after taking 4 grains
daily may be a coincidence.
But if you show symptoms
of thyroid toxicity because
you begin taking large doses
again, you will have yourself
to blame. You may get nerv-
Gus, lose weight and have
heart palpitation that will
make you a poor mother for
the child you now have.
Take your thyroid as di-
rected-and relax. Pregnancy
often follows faith and &C
ceptance; and the stork
mysteriously evades where
tenseness is the rule.

IA I was too busy with
schoolwork and sports to sit
around incoming over men.
The way these kids carry on
today with constant talk
about some marvellous hunk
of man" - q movie idol usu-
ally-they have no time to
grow up before they begin
to want marriage.
There have been a number
of teen-age marriages in our
community and my husband
and I have been horried by
this. We married young, but
in our 20s, when we were old
enough to know what we were
doing.
I don't see how the mother
of Ellen's friend can take this
thing so lightly. ] think it's
awful that they should carry
on like this.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
We think that Mrs. F. r.
is right-for the wrong rea-
sons.
There is nothing very
unusual or bad about teen
age girls incoming over q male
teacher land If Mrs. F. r.
searches her memory care
fully, we believe she'll recall
some similar occurrence in
her own history. but these
girls should be discouraged
from making pests Of them
selves. They should also be
taught that 1t is wrong to
send anonymous letters. If
the writer has a sense Of
shame about sending a mes
sage, it should not be sent.
Well make an exception for
Valentines, which follow laws
of their own.
Aside from this issue, these
two girls show that they are
not EAST" but a bit backward
emotionally and socially. The
game or fantasy they play to-
gether is more suitable for
girls a few years younger.
These girls are old enough to
start enjoying activities with
boys their own age or a little
bit older. If they were enjoy
ing such teen-age friendships,
they would not involve them
selves in this completely un-
realistic day dream.
We don't blame the F. RI
for being alarmed about the
teen-age marriages. but they
will not help their daughter
by adopting rigid attitudes
that prevent their seeing her
actual problems. The girl who
talks about a marvellous hunk
of man" at age IA may be try
ing out a new line she heard
just for kicks.
