Shoulder it bravely again a little while.

Help to go some first bewildering mile

The
Fiction INFECTIOUS LAUGH
By
Richard H. 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

luction and lactation are averaged
into monthly records and these,
in turn, are averaged into annua)
records. 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.

MIRROR
Of Your
MIMD
Pity Never
Akin to Love
By Lawrence Gould
Answer: Far from it. 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.

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.

H HEALTH NOTES ■
When the ankle or any other joint
Is sprained (not just strained), the
injured part should be placed in
hot water and kept hot for an hour
at a time until swelling disappears.
The joint then should be bandaged
and placed on a chair if the patient
is sitting or on a pillow if lying
down. After a few days’ rest, the
joint is gently moved (without
weight on it), and massaged to-
a-»rH the heart.
