Book on Pirates q Treasure
BY VAN ALLEN BRADLEY

Books about the famous
pirates of the 18th and 18th
centuries have always at
tracted collectors, for histori-
cal as well as romantic
values.
One of the best of them
is Charles Johnson's General
History" once considered I'M
reliable but now highly re-
garded by historians of the
early American colonial Pc
Rod. Johnson's first edition
Q724 dealt with the pirates
of New Providence Island, in
the Bahamas, hangout for
some 1000 freebooters in its
heyday.
The title page of this rarity,
which includes a mention of
the famous women pirates
Mary Read and Anne Bonny,
reads, in part, as follows:
A GENERAL HISTORY OF
the RObberies and Murders
of the most notorious
Pyrates, by Captain Charles
johnson. London, 1924.
A fine copy of the first
edition of johnson brings up
to $3.50 or more in the rare
book market. A second vol
ume, which included an &C
count of Capt. Kidd, was pub
lished in 1928.

One week, after he had
tossed the ball 90 times, he
was called away on business.

Essential elements Of the
program are:
. The college will provide
housing, eating and social
accommodations for all Will
liams students.
Q The advantage Of small
group living, which in past
years have been provided for
a few by fraternities, are to
be preserved and made avail
able to all students.
o Every encouragement will
be given through the new
residential arrangements for
all forms of student activi-
ties, informal contacts be-
tween students and faculty,
and social interchange on a
college-wide basis.
Williams hopes that there
will be no diminution of OPP
portunities for student initi-
alive. All the social and
intramural activities of the
fraternities will be trans
ferred to the unit-house-
parties, teams competitions
of all sorts, organized and
run by the undergraduates.
And it is hoped also that
they will institute other
activities-panels, symposia,
films, small concerts, other
programs - whatever they
have time and inclination to
provide.
Can optimum social de-
velopment be attained as
we'll or better through dormi-
tories when membership is
open to all students?
Can dormitory life stimu-
late scholarship better than
fraternity life?
Can college spirit be fost-
cred better under the new
plan, or will it deteriorate?
Will the new plan pro-
vide more equal opportu-
mites for students both
socially and enthusiastically?
Low scholarship fraterni-
ties on other college cam
puses should take heed. AL
though they automatically
stay low in scholarship If no
drastic action is taken, a
determined effort does pro-
duce improvement.

STOP KILLING YOURSELF
Better Play Safe
And See Doctor
= BY DR.. PETER J. STEIElcRoHN

Dear DR.. Steincrohn:
Whenever I feel sick - even
though I get very uncomfor-
table - ! hesitate to bother
my doctor. I figure that with
so many really sick people
who need attention, it isn't
fair to the doctor and them
to take up precious time. Be-
sides, I don't want the label
"hypochondriac" pinned on
me. Don't you agree?-Mr. F.
YES, AND NO. People
shouldn't go running to their
doctor for every little ache
and pain. But the trouble
comes in taking upon your
self what is important and
what isn't. At times even Sc
riouS illness masquerades as
something trifling and not
dangerous to health.
If you put it off because
you seem silly you may &C.
tually be endangering your
life.
Bother the doctor with just
a little lump in the breast2
Or with an apparently inno-
cent sore on the lip? Who
but the doctor is to say that
they are cancerou5?
A chest cough that hangs
on for months due to ciga-
rettes? Who but the doctor
can really say it isn't due to
tuberculosis or lung cancer?
Swelling Of the ankles?
How can you be sure it is
due to the heat and stand
ing on your feet all day and
not due to heart disease?
I'd rather be called a hy-
pochondriac and see the doc
tor a few extra times during
the year and be safe, rather
than take 1t upon myself to
distinguish between unim-
portant symptoms and serious
disease. The fact is that doc
tors appreciate patients who
come early enough so disease
can be cured. They hate to
have to use the words, IF
you had only come in to see
me a few months earlier"
Normal people shouldn't
feel they are "botherin0 their
doctor" I explain all this in
my ledtlet. Hon to Be a
Happy Hypochondridc." Write
TO me in care OF The Evening
Star. Inclose 10 cents and a

Uelope.

heard that the remedy for

govt is worse than the dis
ease itself. Doesn't colchicine
cause diarrhea, nausea and
vomiting?-Mr. j.
YOU WOULDN'T think so
If you ever came down with
a severe attack of govt with
all the fixings (redness, pain,
swelling and generalized dis
comfort). If you don't take
colchicine usually prescribed
as one every hour until diar-
rhea sets in or discomfort
diSappears) the attack may
last for days instead of hours.
Besides. there are other
drugs which the doctor may
want to use either with or
instead of the colchicine.
This drug has been used for
many years, and most govt
patients will tell you they are
thankful for colchicine. Any
discomforts it may cause are
only temporary. and nothing
compared to the attack of
govt itself.
50 -
Dear DR.. Steincrohn: II
you were told to take digitalis
for months or years and not
worry about it, would it be
all right?-Mrs. z.
THIS DRUG is another for
which we can be thankful. 1t
has prolonged the lives Of
many heart patients. And 1t
is not poison, as so many
think. II the doctor and pa
tent take proper precautions
In its use.
Dear DR.. Steincrohn: What
is meant by serial electro
cardiograms"7 Y.
1T MEANS a number of
tracings taken on succeeding
days or even a few on the
same day. These repeat trac-
ings are taken often when
the diagnosis of coronary

cle) has not yet been estab-
lished.
In some attacks. the dag
nosis is confirmed by changes
In the electrocardiogram
within the first few hours.
In others. the diagnosis can't
definitely be made until a
week or so has passed. There
fore. the need for serial trac-
ings.
