(Official City, State and County Newspaper) Foreign Representatives SMALL, SPENCER, LEVINGS & BREWER (Incorporated) CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON History Most of us are familiar with his- tory only in a second-hand way and 80, when someone attempts to change our ideas about a certain event we cannot be too sure that the notion we already have is correct. For instance, in reading of a cer- tain event, the angle from which it is presented makes a great deal of; difference. The vast differences in} books already published regarding} the causes and events of the World| war are ample proof of that. ‘We know that presentations of data on that subject are open to question because the thing happened in our own time and we are familiar with the varying attitudes of the Personalities and nations involved. When, however, someone attacks as false something which we always) thave accepted without question, it, stimulates a queer reaction in the average mind. The latest event of this sort is a declaration by one Harvey H. Smith, a retired jurist living in New York, that the story of Abraham Lincoln being born in a log cabin and to par- ents in poor circumstances is a myth.| The judge says “Honest Abe” was born in a comfortable two-story house} owned by his father, who was not/ poor at all but a man of means. He| has suggested that congress aisconay tinue an appropriation for the fam- ous enshrined cabin on Nolin creek, in Kentucky, which is presumed to} mark Lincoln's birthplace. He says the cabin in question was built after Abraham Lincoln was born and was used by the family only during the summer months when ‘Thomas Lincoln moved his fatnily) out to it in order to be nearer his agricultural land. It is a far cry from this version of Lincoln's birth to that of the humble rail splitter and the question raised can be settled, of course, only. by close scrutiny of the best available data. Judge Smith was born and-reared near the Lincoln homestead and his ancestors were in close touch with the Lincoln family as far back as 1766. This fact lends color to his declaration regarding the cabin and the position of the Lincoln family. But regardless of the evidence presented, most of us will continue to carry in our minds the picture of the humble rail-splitter who rose to fame. We have a right to our owa prejudices, too, and somehow the idea of a Lincoln born poor is more stimulating than the thought of one born into a well-fixed family. Don’t Sell America Short On the heels of President Hoover's proposals to snatch the mantle of fear from business comes a boom in the stock market. ‘Wall Street always is trying to dis- count the probable business trend in order to get in on the “ground floor” of enterprises which may be bene- fited by future events. In view of this fact, the action of the financial powers may mean much or little, for they may be mistaken as well as anyone else. A financial dispatch by the Asso- ciated Press, however, carries one item which may spell trouble for those prophets of despair, the bears. It is a notation that many brokers report the public is back in the mar- ket to a greater degree than has been noticeable for months, although there is a tendency to place orders for stocks at figures below the current quotations in hope of picking them up if relapses should occur. If this is being done to any large extent it will be the best possible in- surance against effective bear ralds, for such orders constitute a back- Jog which will sustain the stock mar- ket in times of stress. As prices go down, they will move into the range of these buying orders and this will tend to halt the decline. A bear who gets caught short in such a situation may find himself in @ tough spot, for the public is essen- tally bullish and when it buys stocks it generally holds them for a rise. The bears have had things pretly ja truer story. @eneral practitioner “Seven Ages” make the greatest de- mand upon the doctor: and babies. In the midst of the diary entries for a day (child delivery, ma- laria, scarlet fever, plaint, apoplexy) occurs a “self-in- flicted gun-wound.” those know who have heard Mrs. Breckenridge tell of fronticr nursing, much their own way in recent months but they cannot have forgotten what happened to them when the public skyrocketed the famous bull market of 1927 to '29. They may remember that it was disastrous to sell Amer- ica short in those days and it seems only reasonable that it may be just as disastrous again. Boston’s Population In colonial days Boston was a me- tropolis. For many decades there- after the city was one of the two or three largest in the nation. But re- cently Boston has occupied a posi- tion fairly well down on the census list; and this fact has been some- thing of an injustice to the city of beans, codfish and Cabots. ‘The official figures on the “metro- politan area,” recently released, tell Within 20 miles of Boston Common, it is now revealed, there dwell 2,307,897 people. Metro- politan Boston, accordingly, is prop- erly fourth on the list of big cities— ahead of every city except New York, Chicago and Philadelphia. Boston, as it happens, is encircled} by @ ring of suburbs that refuse to bs annexed. Three of these suburbs —Cambridge, Somerville and Lynn— are cities of more than 100,000 popu- lation. So Boston, a huge urban cen- ter, gets a census count of less than 800,000, and is technically smaller than several cities that arc not, actu- ally, as large.

An article in Current History gives in graphic detail the experiences of a “somewhere in Arkansas,” who had been a doctor “somewhere in France” in the World war, An illustrative case is one which required a journey to a man with an acute case of appendicitis, “two} mountains and ‘seventeen miles of underbrush” from a “through road.” A neighbor's boy had ridden for the doctor. The description of the op- eration suggests the difficulties with which such services are performed: The doctor arrived shortly after sundown, After a brief diagnosis, he diplomatically shut everybody from the house save two level- headed farm hands whom he had known since their babyhood. He directed them to build a fire in the kitchen stove, put water to boil, and when they had finished to set up the dining room table “real steady-like,” and, after they had washed their hands and arms in lye soap, to spread clean Sheets over it. In another five minutes the patient was on the table taking ether. The doctor told his assistants to blow out the oil lamps. Fire and anesthetics Should not be too close together. A farm hand brought the doctor's flashlight, pressed the magic but- ton and there was light right where needed. The operation proceeded and the appendix was a bad one. But within forty min- utes the patient was back in bed, the operation a complete success, The two extremes of Shakespeare's ETTORE cee ATEN old people Summer com- Sometimes, as there are other than “self-inflicted” cases, where feuds stll continue. Blinding storms and washed-out bridges, flooded roads and treacher- ous river crossings are “all in the day’s work.” This resourceful doc- tor, in the midst of a stream in ris- ing water, found an emergency rope with which he tethered his car to a) tree, then swam to the bank and an- swered the call on foot. Calls are not infrequently made at a distance of fifty or even seventy miles, and the doctor must answer them all without “preliminary speculation as to financial returns,” which are often in kind, though they vary in amount, as a rule, inversely as the square of the distance from a “through road.” One looking for William James's “moral equivalent of war” will here {find something that seems to meet the requirement fully. Ian Maclar- en's “doctor of the old school” at Drumtochty has a fine and resource- ful and lovable counterpart in the rural doctor of the new school who hopes some day to use an airplane in his practice. ‘I Still Do Not Choose to Run? , will 3 lift?

Daily Health Service SURGERY IS BEST SOLUTION IN CASES OF GALL TROUBLE Vast Majority of Patients Are Permanently Relieved By DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor, Journal of the American Medical Association A small gallstone lying in the gall- bladder seldom causes severe symp- toms, although at times inflammation associated with the presence of the stone may produce pain, vomiting and other serious disturbances. When the stone begins to move out of the gall- bladder and through the ducts or tubes that carry the bile from the gall- bladder to the intestines, it may be- come blocked in its passage; then seri- ous symptoms intervene. Long ago Sir William Osler scribed the symptoms of stone in the gall bile duct as including paroxysmal and’ colicky pains, chills, fever, and jaundice, followed by periods of com- plete freedom from the symptoms. The reason for this intermittent character is the fact that the through and the symptoms are re- lieved until another stone comes down. Sometimes the stone may He in the tube and not obstruct it until an in- flammation occurs when the passing of the bile is stopped. de- stone passes erfs,” whjch means 200 cycles or bet- A “Dolly” is And while on the subject of movies: the high quality of a number of films now appearing on Broadway has sent another shiver up and down the thea- trical spine.

Severe jaundice follows and the patient is seriously sick. Of course; the X-ray sometimes helps in locating stones and methods are now available for visualizing the gallblad- der by the use of an injected sub- stance. In any disease of mechanical origin of this character, the treatment is quite obvious. It is necessary to open the abdomen, find the spot at which the stone is blocking the bile passage and then to remove it surgic- ally. At the same time, the surgeon makes sure that all other stones in the tube and in the gallbladder are re- moved. Indeed, it is common practice to remove the gallbladder completely in such cases, provided that the oper- ative risk is not increased by this work. Thousands of patients have been treated by this method with remark- fable success. The mortality is not great from the operation, and in the vast majority of cases, the patients— more than 95 per cent—are relieved permanently of symptoms. ited at the F. H.

Nor- ma, her eyes intent on the green traffic light, did not even no- tice that a woman in the rear of the car was staring at her. There were other vehicles pass- ing. Norma did not give the limou- sine a second glance. She did not recognize the woman nor did she notico that the chauffeur, too, was watching her curiously. Whon the green light flashed yel- low and then to red she lowered} wa: the two front wheels of the carriage to the pavement and crossed to the other side of the street. By this time the big motor car was well down the block. The wo man who had stared at Norma was leaning forward, She spoke to the chauffeur sharply. “Drive home at once, Harvey! I've changed my mind. And NOY, hurry!” Abruptly the limousine shot for- ward. Fifteen minutes later it had halted before F, M. Travers’ pala- tial home. The woman rushed up the steps into the house. “Where is Mr. Travers?” she de- manded breathlessly of the butler. Before he could answer she saw Travers in the room _ beyond. “Frank!” she called. “Oh. I was afraid you'd gone. I'm so glad—!” “Why, what's the matter?” His wife started to speak, then slaneed over her shoulder and said, “Let's go into your study, I—I must sit down!” When they were alone a moment later she went on eagerly, “I saw that girl—Norma—on the street! Oh, I know it was she! Harvey rove directly in front of her. And Frank, she was wheeling a baby—!” Travers’ éxpression had not changed. “We have nothing what- ever to do with that girl,” he sald. “What difference does it make where you saw her or what she was doing?” “But don’t you understand? The baby—it must be Mark's child! Somehow I never thought of such a thing, If it's a boy, Frank—and we've never had a grandchild—oh, think what it means!” “You're positive it was the same girl?” 'm sure of it!” eee (RAVERS' indifference was gone. “A grandson!” he repeated. “But we don’t know—why she might be a nurse maid.

Maybe it’s wo- man’s intuition but I feel certain that was Mark's child!” Travers was on his feet. He moved to the window restlessly and turned. “I kno way to find out quickly enough!” he said. His words were clipped and decisive. Still speaking he picked up the telephone and gave a number. “Oh, Cromwell,” he was saying a moment later. here's a little matter I'd like to talk to you about. Yes, today, if you can arrange it. Would it be too much trouble to drop around at my home some time this afternoon? Three o'clock? Yes, that’s all right. I'll be wait- ing for you. Thanks, Cromwell. See you at three.” He put down the telephone. “Now,” said F. M. Travers with a sigh, “there's nothing about that girl we won’t know in 24 hours. Cromwell is the most reliable de tective in Marlboro and he keeps his mouth shut.” Mrs. Travers pressed her hands together. “If it really is Mark’s son what can we do, Frank? Maybe the divorce was a mistake. Maybe we should have Held some other way!” “Leave things to me!” her hus- band said gruffly. “There’ve been no mistakes and there won't be. We'll get the facts first. If there actually is a child it’s a queer thing she didn’t come to us for money. Women of that sort always do. No, IT can’t understand it.” He paused thoughtfully, “If you're right,” he went on slowly, “if you're right it's high time we knew about it. A grandson, hey? Marks boy! Yes, it’s high time we knew about it!” eee (ponspay morning Frederick Stuart arrived late at the office. He came in carrying a traveling case. “Going to run out to Bedford this afternoon,” he said. Bedford was a small town 60 miles distant. “My sister’s the most helpless wo- man in the world. She owns property out there but hasn’t the faintest idea how to manage it. Now she’s sure the bank’s been robbing her. Sent me a telegram this morning and I'll have to go out and find out what’s wrong. I hate like blazes to take the time with Abernathy getting here to- morrow!” Stuart's tone was resentful. It was seldom that he discussed per- sonal affairs and Norma was sure he really was disturbed. “That manuscript arrived from Terrence Wade,” she told him, “and for ‘Waning Moon’ next week.” The man nodded, disappeared into his private office. In 10 min- utes the buzzer rang and Norma answered, . “Bring your pad,” Stuart told her. “Let’s see how much of this correspondence we can get out of the way.” For more than an hour Norma's pencil raced to keep up withthe rapid-fire dictation. When she re- turned to her desk she had notes that would keep her busy most of the afternoon. It was after 11 when her em- ployer emerged, “I’m going to try to make the 11:25,” he announced. “Be back in the morning. If any- thing important comes up I can be reached at Mrs, Helen Frazer's home. You have the address some- where. Goodby.” He was out of the-office, flinging the last words over his shoulder. Norma sighed and put a fresh sheet of paper in her typewriter. If she finished the letters she might be able to get away a little before five o'clock and avoid the nightly rush. Her fingers flew at the typewriter Some days it was so easy to be accurate and some days wrong let- ters jumped continually from the keyboard. Apparently today was to be one of the good ones. The door leading into the corr!- dor was always open. Norma was not aware anyone had entered tin- til she heard a voice asking, “Is Mr. Stuart in?” She looked up. A stranger stood in the doorway. A slender, middle- aged man wearing a gray topcoat. He wore rimmed spectacles and he spoke with an eastern accent. “I'm sorry.

It was exactly 11:25. Norma was telling herself that of course they hadn't been able to find Stuart when the telephone rang sharply. At the first words she smiled. “Yes, Mr. Stuart,” she said. “Mr. Abernathy is here in the office. I was sure you'd want to talk to him. Yes—just a moment.” She turned toward Abernathy, “It’s Mr. Stuart. He'd like to speak to you,” she said, handing over the instrument. Within 15 minutes Stuart had arrived. He and the representa- tive of McCleod’s Weekly disap- peared into the private office. Their session lasted until after Norma's lunch hour, Then the two men went out together and came back late in the afternoon. They were sun talking when Norma left at ve, It was not until next morning that she learned what her quick- witted telephoning had meant. Stuart entered the office, jubilant. “Good morning!” he greeted Norma, “Fine day, isn't it? You got away last night before I had a chance to tell you how grateful I am that you didn’t let me get out of town yesterday.” “I'm so glad they could reach you at the station.” ~ “Well, it was a lucky day all around.

During the lunch hour ste tried to decide whether to apply the bonus on Mark’s new carriage or pay it to Chris. It should go to Chris, she concludet: finally. She had not been back fn the office an hour when she answered the telephone to hear a hysterical feminine voice which she recog- nized as Mrs. Carey's. “What's happened?” Norma cried. “Oh, what is it?” Mrs. Carey tried to explain. No, she said Mark was not sick. Some- thing was wrong, however. Her words turned into meaningless gibberish, Norma strained to hear, suddenly gave up the effort. “I've got to go home!” she erled, bursting into Stuart's office. “Some- thing’s wrong with the baby—” She was gone like a flash, down- stairs and into a taxicab, urging the driver to go faster. After what seemed endless minutes of agony they reached the apartment. Norma ran upstairs and flung back the door. Mrs. Carey met her, white-faced. “The baby’s gone!” she gasped.
