7 Anatomy Editions Priced
By VAN ALLEN BRADLEY

While it is highly unlikely
that you will ever find one
of the extremely rare first
edition copies of Robert Bur-
tons "he Anatomy of Mel
ancholy," there are seven
other early editions that are
worth keeping an eye out for.
The first edition appeared
in 1921 under the pSeudonym
"DemocrituS Junior" The
title page reads, in part, as
follows:
THE ANATOMY OF MEL
ANCHOLY, WHAT IT is.
By Democritus Junior d.
at oxford 1921.
Sir William Osler described
1t as a great medical trea-
tise, orderly in arrangement,
serious in purpose. It COW
ers much more than the cur
rent diseases Of the era,
however. Many writer's, in
Guiding DR.. Johnson, Lamb
and Sterne, have hailed it as
a valuable sources book on
the life and thought of the
times.
The first edition has
brought as high as $4,000 at
auction in recent years.
Other Sought-after editions,
less valuable, which appeared
in Burton's lifetime are dated
1924, 1923, 1882, 1851, 1862
and 1916.

existed. Since then, due to
our awareneSs and a simple
diagnoStic test, we diagnose
many cases - especially in
young infants, although it
has been found in Adde'S
cents, too.
1t is hereditary, but not
contagious. The trouble is in
the performance Of what we
call the exocrine glands -
which produce saliva, tears.

rite sites of attack are the
pancreas and the lungs.
This is why one youngster

has dirrhea; his pancreaS
isn't putting out sufficient
engines to take care of his
normal digestion because the
thickened pancreatic juice
can't function well.
Another important compli-
cation is that the youngSter
puts out too much sodium in
his sweat which may cause
collapse during the hot days.
A diagnostic procedure has
been invented called the
sweat test" It is simple to
make and therefore so many
cases do not remain undiag-
nosed as years ago.
And some pancreatic en-
zymes have been developed
which can be taken at meal
time to make up for the loss
of engines from the pam
creas. When the disease
attacks the lungs. we have
found that antibioticS help
get the patient over the rough
spots. Years ago, we were
helpless.
Cystic Fibrosis sometimes
called CT disease for Short)
still remains a problem. But
you can see that the outlook
is much better than it used
to be. Researchers are still
working hard to solve this
problem.

DEAR ABBY
Better End This Dream, Dear!
By ABIGAIL VAN sUREN

DEAR ABBY: Please don't
give me one Of your lectures
about how hopeless it is to be
in love with a married man.
I am "a, and have loved this
married man for two years.
He is 38. I have experienced
all the disappointmentS and
heartaches a girl in my situa-
ton has to live through. But
I still have hope that one day
we will be together legally.
I KNOW he loves me. He has
promised me that if any,
thing happens to his wife, I
am next. I believe him. Do I
make sense?
WILLING TO WAIT.
No. Because neither you
nor your boy friend is i'm
mortal the odds are 662s
per cent in favor Of the wife.
So not only are the odds
against you, but so are the
laws Of man, the codes Of
cOnduct-and your luck.
DEAR ABBY: What do you
have to do to be considered
company? Nobody has ever
considered me company"
and I don't know how to
take it.
When I go to someone's
house and someone else calls
or drops over, they always
say, "Oh, I don't have COM
pany. It's just Mary" I am
almost so now and it has
always been that way.
I get invited places, but I
am always asked to come
early and help set the table
before the company" comes.
Or to stay and help clean up
after the company" leaves.
I would like to be considered
company" myself once In a
while. Should I be hurt, or
should I be complimented?
JUST MARY.
You should be compliment
ed. Anyone can be company"
But folks ask the help only Of
those with whom they are in
complete harmony. I'd rather
be considered a friend" than
company" any time.

DEAR ABBY: I have been

He sounds like an engine. I

Saline Water Project
Pushed by Congress

million was spent on the re-
search in the past year.
The bills sponsors said the
water problem was becoming q
serious one in many parts OF
the United States. Conversion
of sea water would be most
helpful for such cities as Los
Angeles located on coasts, they
said.
American water consumption
has risen from 40 billion gal
Ions daily in 1900 to 213 billion
today. Use is estimated at 435
billion by 1875.
But government experts said
the supply is remaining con-
slant at about SIS billion gal
Ions and is uneverly distrih-
Iuted.
Senators said a demonstra-
ton plant, at Freeport, Tex, is
expected to be able to convert
gulf water into fresh water at
a cost Of 81 a thousand gallons.
This would compare with a
municipal rate in most parts of
the Nation Of about 80 cents,
they said.
The Senate bill would au-
thorize the $100 million for re-
search and such other sums as
are needed for demonstration
plants in addition to five now
planned.

Strotojet Crashes
And Burns, but
Crew Walks Out

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Sept.
(AP).-All three crew members
walked away from the crash OF
their six-engine Bat Strato-
jet bomber last night.
The 100-ton, $1,869,000 jet
smashed to pieces and burned
in a field about 1000 feet off
the end of the runway at near
by Lockbourne Air Force Base.
But the crew received only
very minor injuries.
The plane was taking off
when it plunged through q
fence and into the field for
some unexplained reason.
A base spokesman said the
craft apparently hit a power
line, knocking out electricity
temporarily on the base and in
the nearby small communities
of Ashville and South Bloom
field.
He identified the crew all
admitted to the base hospital
for observation, as Capt.
Theodore C. Gerst, %, of
Logansport, Ind, the aircraft
commander; 1st 1t. Raymond
D. West, 81. Of Columbus, the
pilot and 1st 1t. Richard K.
Meyers, 26, of Lambertville,
Mich, the navigator.
The plane was attached to
the 376th Bomb Wing at Lock-
bourne, a Strategic Air Com
mand base south Of Columbus.
It was on a routine training
flight and did not carry nuclear
weapons, the spokesman said.

Both Senate and House have
voted for a greatly stepped-up
Federal search for an econom-
ical process for converting sea
and brackish water into fresh
water.
The Senate late yesterday
passed without opposition a bill
authorizing $100 million for
such research over the next 10
years.
The measure went back to
the House which earlier had
voted for a five-year, $50 mil
lion program. 1t can accept
the higher Senate figure or ask
for a conference to reach a
compromise.
President Kennedy asked
Congress in June for increased
funds, asserting "I know Of no
Federal activity that offers
greater promise of making q
major contribution to the ulti-
mate well-being of all mankind
than this program"
The Interior Department has

said yesterday that substantial
progress had been made, but
that a greatly accelerated effort
now was needed. They said $1.3

while they were carrying on the
brunt of the war against the
japanese. The Young Marshal
reading the diaries Of his cap
tive, became convinced that the
generalissimo was not afraid
of the Japanese but did not
want to be forced into q war
against them until his forces
were better prepared.
Changes Mind
The Young Marshal, who
had been allied with the Reds
in the hope that they would
help him return to Manchuria,
underwent a change Of heart
and on Christmas eve, 1886,
freed his prisoner. The next
day both flew to Nanking, the
Chinese Nationalist capital.
Gen. Chang then made the
Young Marshal his captive.
The Young Marshal was
court-martialed and on Decem-
ber 81, 1886 was sentenced to
10 years imprisonment. The
next day he was granted a full
pardon-and thus began his
captivity.
He was Gen. Chiang's politi-
cal ace in the North because
of his popularity with all
classes in Manchuria. But Cen.
Chang never played the ace
because the Communists might
have trumped 1t: They vocif-
erously demanded his release
after World War II in hopes he
would return to their side and
rally the Manchurians to the
Red cause.

Chang Kidnoper, 81,
Freed After "a Years

TAIPEI, FormoSa, Sept. l
(AP)-The Young Marshal,
Chang Hsueh-liang, who kid
naped President Chang Kai-
Shek in 1886 and held him
prisoner for IL days, has been
freed from "a years of relent-
less surveillance.
The Formosa garrison COM
mand today confirmed long
standing rumors the Young
Marshal, now 81 and gray, had
been given his freedom.
During his long captivity the
former overload of Manchuria
studied the history Of the Ming
dynasty (1368-1644 ADD and
became a Christian. He occa-
sionally attends church serv-
ices at Gen. Chiang's private
chapel in the suburbs of Taipei.
The former warlord. who in
his, heyday ruled Manchuria
and North China, smoked
opium and liked dancing,
drinking and golf, now lives
at.Peitou, a hot springs resort
8 miles from Taipei. A virtual
recluse, he plays tennis occa-
sionally for exercise.
Visited by Family
Last night he received a visit
from members of his family
for the first time since the
Asian incident, as his capture
of Gen. Chang is known. They
were his eldest daughter, Hsain-
ying, who had come to For
mosa from the United States
with her husband for a political
conference.
The Young Marshal was the
son Of the Old Marshal, Chang
Tso-lin, ruler Of Manchuria,
who was asSassinated by the
japanese in 1928. He succeeded
his father, but after three un-
easy years was driven out OF
Manchuria by the Japanese.
In 1885 he was appointed by
Gen. Chang as deputy COM
mander of the bandit suppress
sion (anti-C Communist) forces
in Northwest China. The Com
munists won him to their side
by convincing the Young Mar
shall that Gen. Chang was
afraid to fight the Japanese in
Manchuria.
On December IL, 1886, Gen.
Chang flew to Sian, capital Of
Shensi, to investigate reports
that the young marshal and the
Chinese Communists were con-
spring against him.
The Young Mashal took Gen.
Chang prisoner.

The Post Office Department
will hold a new examination
among rank-and-file postal
workers for promotions to
supervisory jobs. The exams
will be held october 81. Full
details about participation in
the exam will be posted in pos
tai installations on or about
September II.
According to postal officials,
one of the reasons for the new
exam Is that many postal
workers last year did not take
the previous exam because they
felt they needed political con-
nection to win a supervisory
job. Now, under Postmaster
General Days new no-politicS
policy in connection with
promotion to supervisory jobs,
many employees who did not
take the exam last year will
want to take it now.
Those who passed the exam
last year will be automatically
awarded a new rating of 10,
which is the minimum passing
grade. They will be given an
opportunity to take the new
exam also in order to improve
their rating.
The new exam is open to all
regular postal workers who will
have at least five years postal
experience by October 81.
