It wasn’t too surprising to learn that 12-year-old Betty recently was graduated from elementary school with an average of more than 90 per cent. She looks very intelligent. I was slightly surprised to learn that she skips rope and goes roller skating once a week. And of BETTY CLARK course she is exceptional as the only child in America who has her own network show. But what makes all she does especially remarkable and courageous is the fact that charming little Betty has been total ly blind since birth.

Wilkinson Corner I T WAS ETHAN PRYOR’S laugh ter that first attracted Abigail to him. When Ethan laughed every one else laughed. The sound had that mirthful, appealing quality that was infectious. It was good to hear. It gave you a feeling of well being. This all happened in 1929, when Ethan’s retail antique business was netting him $15,- 000 a year. It was easy to laugh then. They were a jolly couple. In 1931 Ethan’s retail antique business dropped off from one-half its top amount to one-third, then to one-quarter. That year passed and the next. The Pryors didn’t find it so easy tc laugh. They gave up their 3 -MinutB seven-room Fiction a P artment and moved into a less expensive one. In January of 1934 they moved to a single room in an unfashion able part of the city. Ethan was barely making enough to keep them from starving. Abigail hunted for a week and eventually 'won for herself a job. It wasn’t much of a job. She sat behind a glass window all after noon and evening selling tickets for a stock company performance. The stock company wasn’t doing so well. It looked as though it might fold up any day. But it paid $15 a week and would have to do until she could get something better. Inspired, a little ashamed, Ethan went job hunting him self. He hunted a week, two weeks, without success. He began to brood. Abigail did her best to cheer him up, to get him into a happy frame of mind. “Let’s hear the old laugh ring out, darling. A pleasant frame of mind is half the battle.” She sat on the arm of his chair. “Tell you what. Let’s celebrate. Let’s take $5 and go down to Tony’s. We can have a gay time for a change.” T HEY WENT to Tony’s. They drank wine and ate a big din ner. They danced. They sat and watched the floor show. It wasn’t a bad floor show. Among other things there was a comedian. The comedian was sad. He wasn’t funny. But Abigail laughed. She laughed as though she thought he was tremendously funny. Ethan looked at her. A fond light came into his eyes. She was trying to be gay. She was doing all she could to bolster up his spirits. He could at least help. Ethan laughed. It was the old time, mirthful, appealing laughter. It rolled out and filled the room. Others heard it. Others laughed. They couldn’t help it. They laughed with Ethan. The comedian was in spired. After the show a man came up and sat down at Ethan’s and Abi gail’s table. Abigail introduced him as the owner of the stock company show where she sold tickets. His name was Jones. “Listen,” said Mr. Jones. “We’ll pay you $5 a night to come and laugh at our show. It’s supposed to be a funny show. You can put it across.” Ethan scratched his chin. He looked at Abigail. He said: “Well, I dunno. For $40 a week I might consider it.” “Sold!” said Mr. Jones. Ethan looked at his wife when he got home. “You planned it!” he accused. “Sure,” said Abigail. “When you have something it should be cashed in on. You can laugh your way to riches, my dear.” Times were getting better. Peo ple were buying antiques. By the beginning of 1936 he was doing quite well. That summer he en larged his shop. Well,” said Abigail, happily, “I guess we laughed our way through that depression all right.” Ethan kissed her. Then he threw back his head and began to laugh. He laughed loud and long. “There!” he said. "That laugh isn’t going to cost any one a cent. From now on I laugh because I want to and free of charge. Honey, I love you.” “Ditto,” said Abigail SSM PllfflE LAST WEEK’S ANSWER ■ ACROSS 1. A Hebrew patriarch 6. Custom 11. Sarcasm 12. Rapidly 13. Unadorned 14. Having a steeple 15. Before 16.

From these annual figures, “herd” averages are then com puted, and these are computed into the only “breed” averages extant. Owners of the Ayrshire cattle are given duplicate copies of the production records compiled with the help of foolproof IBM ma chines. This system is of immeasur able help to Ayrshire farmers in operating their herds and dispos ing of surplus cattle. But this painstaking “cows on test” project is only one of the many operations conducted by the A.B.A. staff. The birth of every Ayrshire calf is recorded and reg istered. The operations of the A.B.A. are helping to make Ayrshire cattle one of the most popular breeds of dairy cattle in the country. The Ayrshire is reported the highest producer of 4.0 per cent milk of any breed. Only Ayrshires pro- duce “naturally homogenized” milk—the fat globules are so fine and tiny that they are integrated by nature with the rest of the milk. Ayrshire milk is in grhat de mand by hospitals, and by doctors with on-diet patients.

We get the idea that it is from the fact that when we are little, our mothers appear to give us more affection when we are sick or unhappy, but to try to win someone’s love after you have grown up by making him sorry for you is a serious mis take. If he feels you’re blaming him, he’ll hate you for it, and if he does not, you’ll ultimately bore him. The English psychiatrist, Dr. Laura Hutton, truly says that “In the long run most of us are at tracted by happiness in others, not by unhappiness"—or “hard luck.” Is being an “old maid a disgrace? Answer: Certainly not, though the notion seems to “die hard.” It’s each person’s business to ad just to life on a basis that accepts his or her limitations, and a girl who has been so conditioned that she is afraid of marriage or cannot accept the role of wife and mother should no more be blamed for staying single than a cripple should be blamed because he "won’t walk.” There is no worse marriage than the sort in which a girl has forced herself to take a husband she does not love “so as not to be an old maid.” Single life is infi nitely better. Can dull parents have bright children? Answer: As a rule they have quite normal children, and what level of intelligence these children attain depends upon the conditions under which they are brought up. In the Journal of Genetic Psychology, Dr. Harold M. Skeels and Miss Irene Harms report the continuing suc cess of the "Iowa Experiment,” in which children with “inferior so cial histories” were given for adoption to superior foster parents. Though in many cases one or both of the children’s parents were rated as “morons,” the children have average intelligence or better.

KEEPING HEALTHY Preventing Deaths from Appendicitis By Dr. James W. Barton S OME YEARS AGO the physi cians and surgeons of Phila delphia made a determined effort to cut down the death rate in ap pendicitis. Within one year they re duced it to less than half of what it had been. How was the death rate reduced by more than one-half in this short time? These physicians had learned from their own experiences three definite truths. First, that the soon er the operation was performed the better; second, that no food should be given; and third, that no pain killing drug should be used until the cause of the pain was found not to be appendicitis, as this drug masked or hid the symptoms. When a pain occurs in the abdo men, even as high up as the stom ach, maiy think that a dose of cas tor oil or of Epsom salts is the best treatment, as it clears away poi sons or wastes. This would be good treatment in most cases but for the fact that appendicitis is such a com mon cause of pain in the abdomen. A sluggish liver and gall bladder cause gas, and gas pressure causes pain. Constipation is another com mon cause of pain in the abdomen. The reason a cathartic, like cas tor oil or Epsom salts, is danger ous, should appendicitis be caus ing the pain, is because a cathar tic stimulates so much movement in the intestine and this extra amount of movement may cause the appendix to rupture. A ruptured appendix causes peritonitis, usually fatal. When a pain occurs in the lower right side of the abdomen (which may have started higher up in the stomach a few hours before) and remains in the appendix region for an hour without shifting elsewhere, call a physician at once. In previous days it was not un usual for patients to be transported to a large city for an operation, which meant delay and a greater chance of rupturing the appendix. Today, the “nearest” hospital has surgeons capable of removing the appendix in minutes. Hubbie—“You look tired, dear. Why don’t you go to the mount tains for a nice rest?” Wifie—“Oh, I don’t know. 1 don’t think the mountain air would agree with me.” Hubbie—“Well, it would be the first thing that didn’t.” Teacher—“So you want to be older so that you can do many things that your brothers and sis ters do, eh?” Small boy—“Yes, maam.” Teacher—“Well, who is the old est in your family?” Small boy—"Daddy is, but he got a head start.” “You should be ashamed of yourself,” reprimanded the father as he gave his son a dressing down for not having advanced be yond the errand-boy stage at bis place of business. “Why, when George Washington was your age he was hard at work as a an veyor, earning good money.” ; "Sure,” replied the youth ix^e swift counter-attack, “and when he was your age he was President of the United States.” CLASSIFIE DEPARTMEN BUSINESS A INVEST.
