OSCAR'S TAKING FEWER ASPIRINS THESE DAYS . > .
Pact Is Likened to Alcoholics 'Anomnibus
. . . BUT HE'S KEEPING HIS UNIFORM IN MOTHBALLS
By H. I. PHILLIPS
PURKEY ON ATLANTIC PACT
Ex-PFC Oscar Purkey, veteran
of the last war, feels better after
reading the Atlantic pact, but he
still thinks it’s smart to keep moth
balls in his uniform and not swear
iff canned eggs for life at this
oint.
“If the world was in its right
mind, in fair health and not so
jumpy, this Atlantic pack would be
okay,” he writes, “but you got to
remember that it is in the same
shape as Alcoholics Anomnibus
holding a street-corner huddle when
a liquor truck turns turtle in full
view.

Yet answered not a word
My bean had not been schooled to wail
An answer that came late.
I could not underSand! Dismayed
I clutched His robes and prayed
And then. Strength spent, I kept quite Still —
At last I learned His will
Through Strangely silent nights and days
rsomchow learned His ways.
“At first I think this Atlantic
pack is not serious on account
of it is not accompanied by no
news that six blocks along First
avenue, New York, is to be torn
down to make way for a head
quarters,” his letter continues,
“but I find it is on the level and
the matter of a official address
will be took up later.

"The swell thing about getting
eight out of a dozen nations together
like this is that at least it ends the
day when they would not go far
enough out on a limb to give each
other their right phone numbers.
They now agree not only to do this,
but each one promises to answer
the phone, no matter who is calling
or how hot is it.
*
“I am sure the pack is a good
thing on account of Henry Wallace
and the Daily Worker and Russia
is giving it the old elbow. If Henry
was for it, 1 would be pretty sus
picious. The way it shapes up to
me is that with England, France,
Canada, the United States, Bel
gium and those other nations on my
side, I can afford to let Henry stay
on the bench.
*
‘I can’t quite figure out what
the Atlantic Pack does to the
UN. Everybody says it does
nothing serious, but my com
mon sense tells me you can’t
have two police departments on
the same job in the same spot
without some difficulties here
and there. I hope they work
okay together in this case, but
one of ’em will want the star’s
dressing room maybe and there
is apt to be some professional
jealousy. If the friction don’t
start a new war, I will be satis
fied.
"All this Atlantic Pack does is to
provide an agreement that all the
nations outside the galvanized-lron
draperies will consult together if
any enemy starts playing rough.
Personally, when the shooting starts
I’d feel nervous if my side were
just to confer on tjie matter. In
the next global war, the sneak-
puncher is going to have a awful
head-start on the boys who go into
a conference first. But I guess our
side will find a way to perfect the
jet-propelled huddle so that there
will be only a few seconds of elapsed
time between the attack and the
answer.

“The western nations in this Pack
may seem a little too gentlemanly
for comfort in a global crisis, but it
looks to me like this time they are
with Stonewall Webster or Kayo
Henry or whoever it was that said
we have got to hang together or
wire the newsreels men to photo
graph us all hanging separately.
Anyhow, the news about this Atlan
tic pack has done me some good. I
ain’t taking so many aspirin.”

Here's a wonderful chance for un
knowns!
Anatole Litvak is known for many
successful directorial jobs; “Sorry,
Wrong Number” and “The Snake
Pit” are two recent oneS. Wallis
has signed Joan Fontaine for “Sep
tember,” to be filmed in Italy in
August for Paramount.
Pat Knight thinks maybe it is an
omen forecasting her future star
dom — during filming of Columbia’s
“Shockproof’ she found a letter
in her uniform’s pocket, addressed
to Joan Crawford, who wore the
uniform in “A Woman’s Face”.
A Moroccan Michooe”, some
thing new in New York parties,
launched George Raft’s “Out
post In Morocco”. Shot against
magnificent, authentic back-
grounds. It is a story of the
French Foreign Legion, with
plenty of action. The men In
the supporting cast, headed by
Akim Tamiroff and John Li tel,
are excellent. Marie Windsor
must have been cast only for
her looks.
Joanne Dm became an actress
because she was too shy to make
friends and took dramatic lessons
to overcome her shyness. Howard
Hawks saw her at a dramatic
sct'ool, hired her for “Red River”.
The ,
Fiction
Corner
r/rpHEY’RE all curious,” insisted
■I Arthur Jordan. “There never
lived a woman who wasn’t 99-44/100
per cent curiosity. I could quote
you a dozen bits of poetry proving
the fact—”
“For goodness’ sake, don’t!”
urged Clem Tate. "I’ll take your
word for it. Honestly. But Elsie
isn’t that way. I’m telling you.”
“You’re the kind that would never
be happy with your wife asking you
this and looking over mail and
rooting about in your desk when
you’re out of the house. I know
you.”
"Don’t speak of Elsie Lyons as
‘rooting’, if you please,” Clem Tate
said coldly. “I’ll
tell you what. I’ll
lock the office door
and give her the
key — since you
mention Bluebeard
—and then you and I will go out.
I’ll keep the key of the corridor
door, however, and we’ll come in
again and sit here. I’ll tell her not
to use that key at all. See? Then
if she is as curious as you say,
she’ll come bouncing in a la Made
moiselle Bluebeard or whatever
her name was and we’ll be sitting
right inside here.”
“O.K. with me,” said Arthur
Jordan. "She’ll be in here and
don’t yon forget I told you so.
I’d as soon have a homelier girl
and one who wasn’t so careless
anyhow. She’s decorative but
she’d forget her head if it
weren’t for the curls there.”
Now Elsie Lyons v/as pretty. She
knew that fact as well as anyone
else. Fluffy golden hair framed a
heart-shaped face with a pointed
chin below a widow’s peak of hair
at the upper edge. Her great grey
eyes turned to pansy-color at times.
But looks and business efficiency
do not always go hand in hand un
fortunately and Elsie ran about
ninety-nine and forty-four one-
hundredths per cent efficiency.
“I am locking the door to the pri
vate office. Miss Lyons,” said
Clem Tate distinctly. "I want no
one to go in there. No one. Is that
clear. Miss Lyons. Here is the key.”
“Certainly, Mr. Tate,” she said
demurely, placing the key in her
desk drawer.
The two young men walked re
solutely into the outer corridor and
the outside door swung too gently
behind them.
“Well, Bluebeard, how about it?”
asked Jordan when he put the key
into the door to the private office.
As the door swung open they both
looked in eagerly. They heard the
telephone in the outer office. Silent
ly they sat down and Jordan gave
his partner a poke in the ribs when
Clem Tate looked too triumphant
as the moments passed.
A T THE END of a half hour Clem
Tate rose to his feet. Jordan
followed him and they made their

way silently into the outer corridor
again.
“Well, was I right, Jordan?"
asked Clem.
“You win, Bluebeard—er, I mean,
non-Bluebeard,” said Jordan. "Say,
I’ve got to have a breath of air
after that self-imposed silence. I
think maybe we both like talking
a little better than we thought we
did. I had a thousand things I
wanted to tell you while we sat
there. But as for your charming
little Elsie — she’s the real thing
all right, all right. Never even
clicked the key in the lock, did she?
Or looked through the key-hole at
us?”
Jordan ambled towards the eleva
tors with a wave of his hand. Clem
Tate stood an instant at the outer
door and then entered the suite of
offices. He hurried through to the
door of the private office and tried
the knob.
“Oh—” he said, "Miss Lyons, I
forgot that this door is locked. Let
me have the key, will you, please?”
“I—I’m sorry, Mr. Tate. But
I simply can’t think what I did
with that key. There was a tele
phone call the moment you lift and
I looked for the key so that I could
—could—er—lay the message on
your desk.
“But I said not to go in.”
She laughed gently. Dimples
peeped in and out charmingly. She
bent again and then with a sigh she
murmured: "Oh! Here it is! I’m so
careless!"

«TF I COULD actually have seen
^ a miracle, in the .days of
Christ’s life on earth, of course I’d
believe!”
So many people—bewildered, anx
ious, troubled in these dark days
—say that, that it seems worth
while to point out to them in this
time of Easter, a real living, inex
plicable, undeniable miracle.
Well, then, there lived a young
carpenter 2,000 years ago, who
talked strange talk of God’s being
his father. God, the avenging, cruel,
mysterious ruler of the old reli
gions, just as a father, understand
ing and wise and loving! This was so
extraordinary an idea that it is no
wonder that this young man, Jesus,
was regarded with dark suspicion.
He never wrote a line, never had
any position or money, never
gained an influential friend, and He
presently died the death of a com
mon criminal. All this happened
in a little oriental town more ob
scure than is the nearest cross
roads village to you. No railway to
his town, no telephone, radio,
movie news. Nothing. Nothing, one
would think, to prevent this po
litical criminal from sinking into
the obscurity that has swallowed
up such young radicals from the
beginning of time.
Radical In His Ideas
For radical He was. He said
children were way ahead of the
rest of us in the secret of eternal
life; He said the humblest among
us would one 1 day stand first; He
said anyone who needed your
kindness was your neighbor. He said
things about feeding the hungry,
clothing the naked that were quite
new to oriental philosophy.
And He went further; He went
against all human precedent and
custom. He said, “Forgive your
enemies.” Why should you? He

By Lawrence Gould
said, “If your enemy take your
cloak, give him your coat also.”
Who ever heard such nonsense? He
said, “Overcome not evil with
evil, but overcome evil with good."
Why, said the wiseacres then—
as they are saying today—if you
did that, your enemies would
simply walk over you, and you’d
be destroyed! So they began to re
gard Him as dangerous, and in the
end satisfied themselves that they
had destroyed him.
Spread Across the World
However, they hadn’t. With the
inexorable power of its divine or
igin, that strange doctrine of His
spread—spread to the new world
of Europe, the new world of the
western hemisphere. And the blaz
ing, irrefutable miracle of this
Easter Day is that the name of
this obscure carpenter is today the
one best known among all men. We
call our world Christendom. We call
our philosophy Christianity.
Christianity ruled Europe for
hundreds of years. What else did
Europe have that the oriental na
tions didn't have? I can think of
nothing fundamental.
Was it Christ’s law, then, feebly
and imperfectly as it was followed,
that raised the cathedrals and the
hospices, that painted the great
Madonnas and-' cut the marble
saints, that added streets, hospitals,
museums, colleges^ libraries,
bridges and laws becoming stead
ily more and more humane?
You don’t see all this where
Christianity is not. Built upon the
old Jewish faith, carrying over
much of its ritual magnificence,
still the law is that of the humble
carpenter who let them crucify Him,
and forgave them with His dying
breath.
Had we followed His law closely
and heroically, we would not be
where we are today. There would
never have been slums and poverty,
heartless wealth and bitter need.
When spring brings the glory and
beauty, the lilacs and buttercups
of Easter, we must admit that there
is something we don't understand
in the power of Christ’s name—that
name that eclipses all other names.
Deer and Goat Become
Fast Friends on Farm
TOLU, KY.—Tony Hana’s deer
and goat have established friendly
relations and are getting on nicely.
Hana, a farmer, found a 60-pound
white-tail doe in a roadside ditch
near here, its body submerged to
the head. It was thought to have
taken refuge there from hounds
known to have been in the neighbor
hood. Hana took the deer home
and housed it with the amiable
goat Result: friendship.
Will a girl who really loves one man kiss others?
Answer: That may depend, not
on how “really” she loves him, but
on what a kiss means to her. And
remember, kisses mean quite dif
ferent things to different people.
In pre-war Japan, for instance, a
kiss was considered so extreme an
intimacy that the censors cut all
kissing scenes out of the movies. At
the other extreme, I know social
groups in which a kiss is regarded
as merely a bit more cordial than
a handshake. But courtship is diffi
cult when certain actions appear
terribly important to one partner
and trivial to the other.
Do
‘wisecrackers” have a
sense of humor?
Answer: Not always, at any rate.
The typical wisecrack is a form of
wit, the essence of which is to de
flate someone by making him look
ridiculous, and particularly, doing
this under conditions in which he
can’t show resentment because it is
"only a gag.” It is closdr to the
practical joke—which is almost pure
sadism—than to humor, which
prompts us to laugh at ourselves as
well as others. The wisecracker
who is short on humor will betray
the fact by getting angry if you sug
gest he is ever "unintentionally fun
ny.”
Can words help drive people
to drink?
Answer: Yes, and I do not mean
only "harsh words.” For the feel
ings with which words become as
sociated may affect our attitude to
ward the things they describe. A
Swedish psychologist. Dr. O. Sundet,
calls attention to the fact that in the
Scandinavian languages the words
which describe a person who does
not drink have a disagreeable im
plication, while those for intoxica
tion suggest sympathetic feelings.
To make abstinence from liquor
popular would take a new national
vocabulary, which would be a long,
hard job.

KEEPING HEALTHY
'Electric Knife' Surgery
By Dr. James IV. Barton
W HILE many of us know about
removing tonsils by electro-
surgery, we may not know that this
method, the “electric knife” as it
is called, also is used for other op
erations. (The method—electro-co
agulation—involves using a high fre
quency current instead of a knife
and scissors; it destroys the tis
sues by removing all their fluids.)
When and why is this “elec
tric knife” method used?
In “Clinical Medicine,” Dr. Gus-
tavus M. Blech, Chicago, states that
the principal reasons for use of this
method, now an absolute necessity
in nerve and brain surgery, are (1)
tissues are divided with a least
amount of injury; all cells, danger
ous and not dangerous, are de
stroyed by coagulation; (2) small
blood vessels are sealed or closed
by this method, preventing further
bleeding anti the need for gauze
sponging, which irritates the surface
tissue when the surgical knife is
used; (3) pain following the opera
tion is slight because of \the blunt
ing of the ends of nerves.
The electro-coagulation meth
od removes all malignant cells
(dangerous, such as cancer
cells or suspected malignant
structures) to avoid carrying
malignant cells into the system,
thus reducing chances of starting
a growth (cancer) in other parts
of the body.
The next important use for coag
ulation is in hemophilia (where tht
blood will not clot) -find in opera
tions on organs which are very ricli
in Mood and blood vessels, such ai
the liver and spleen. Also, it ii
valuable in an emergency when th«
patient is anemic, run-down or el
derly.
Of course. In cases

method — the knife —

HEALTH NOTES
An individual’s chances of reach

dependent on environment (his sur

family history of policy holders,
shows that those whose parents
died at relatively advanced ages
did little or no better than those
whose parents died early in life.
Remember that early cancer is
curable by (1) X-ray, (2) radium
and (3) surgery. See your doctor
