WEEK'S LH UjjWD PuZU ‘ * ANSWER This is the Isst st three articles ea the Bill ef Rights sad BUI ef Rights Day which wlU he celebrated December 10. Hysteria is a chronic national dis ease which thrives in an atmosphere of fear. It is an illness which has gripped our nation before and which is flaring* up again as we face the threat of communism and take steps to meet that threat. The most dan gerous sympton of national hysteria Is abridgment of the civil liberties set forth in our Bill of Rights. These points were recalled on Bill of Rights Day, by the American Civil Liberties Union through its execu tive director Patrick Murphy Malin. Fear and insecurity led to the in famous Alien and Sedition acts of t By INEZ GERHARD E VELYN KEYES’ description of her new picture, “The Prowl er” (United Artists release), would make anybody want to see it—-even those who can’t bear sus pense.

Ardon Cornwall, who has com posed original music for **1110 Cavalcade of America” for the past decade, met his wife some years back when she was doing piano cues for the program. Now she writes lyrics for the music he com poses. Hysteria over national security legislation is not new in Ameri can history. Shown here is clash in Congress in 1798 during de bate on the Alien and Sedition Acts. The law, aimed at securing the country from French inva sion, was used to curb opposi tion political views and a/polit ical party—the then Republi cans. Matthew Lyon, a Republi can congressman from Vermont, was so irrated by the Federalist gibes that he spat in the face of Federalist Griswold of Connecti cut. Since there was not a two- thirds vote to expel Lyons, Gris wold took matters in his own hand and attacked Lyon with a bludgeon. 1798, passed in an atmosphere of war hysteria. Taking advantage of anti-French feeling, the Federalists passed bills allegedly to curb alien influence, actually to suppress op position from the rising “radical” Jeffersonian Republicans. But the common sense of the American peo ple and their fervent belief in free ■expression, was exhibited. Ameri cans realized the threat to their liberties in time, and dealt the Fed eralists an overwhelming defeat at the polls and repudiated their spuri ous legislation. Today, history’s les son seems momentarily forgotten as, confronted with new fears, we are again putting hasty restrictions on fundamental civil liberties. NE SUCH RESTRICTION is the McCarran act, an attempt to tighten national security by regis tration of Communist and Commu nist-front organizations, and stiffen ing of immigration and naturaliza tion laws. On the surface it may sound like a good idea, but it still strikes at the heart of expression of opinion. Already it has created con siderable confusion in immigration matters. And because of its loose terminology and broad provisions, it could be used by the controlling political party to outlaw opposition, just as the Federalists attempted in 1798. In today’s insecure world, Malin said, there must be protection against sabotage and treason. But our safety will only be insured by democratic means, not by institution of the very totalitarian methods we are fighting. Despite these tempo rary periods of hysteria, in times of crisis the nation has always kept a balance between preserving na tional security and maintaining in dividual rights. December 15, our Bill of Rights Day, recalls the firm belief in this guarantee of funda mental liberties that has seen us through periods x>f crisis. Staunch championship of the Bill of Rights is still democracy's greatest weapon for freedom, at home and abroad. 'ACROSS (1. Piece of baked clay [5. Repast 19. River ’ (Bohemia) 10.

Kellems T 3:30 Eddie House called his wife from the office. “Know what I’ve been thinking about, an gel—? Herring! My mouth’s simply drooling. What’s for supper—?” “Your favorite menu, supper spe cial ...” Eddie groaned, “That's too elaborate, baby. I only want her ring. Just herring . . . Evelyn—1 are you listening? There was si lence, then a click in his ear. There was wife ly understand ing! And just because a man got a hankering for herring 1 Soon, however, he grinned. She’d have the herring, all right. That was Evelyn’s way, flying off the handle, then after consideration, humoring him. He had gone to work by bus that morning because Evelyn needed the car for some special shopping, she said. To be sure of a healthy ap petite for the herring, he decided to walk home. Pausing when he reached his own back door, Eddie clocked his hike, proud of the four minutes clipped from last trip’s walking time. His hand, carefully replacing his watch, touched a small square of folded paper in his pocket. He drew it out, opened it and read: “Anniversary gift for Evelyn ...” Their first anniversary! How BROADWAY AND MAIN STREET Charlie Employs Strategy to Out-Maneuver Ice Digger By BILLY ROSE At least four times in the past week Fve been buttonholed on Broadway and asked, “Have you heard what happened to Charlie Feltus?” Well, I have, but on the off-chance that you haven’t, per haps I ought to bring you up to date . . . For as long as I can remember, Charlie Feltus has been a promoter of things and people, and by and larcenous he has always made a pretty nice dollar at it. However, like a lot of other Times Squareheads, he has never held on to these dollars for long because of a weakness for bang tails and blondes. Billy Rosa In recent months, to hear the wisenheimers tell it, it’s been rough going for Charlie in both depart ments seeing as how (a) most of his earnings have been going into the jewel box of a platinum-mop ped tootsie named Hazel Duke, and (b) his luck at the race track has been—as Damon Runyon used to put it—a whole lot less than somewhat. Came a bleak and bleary-eyed evening not long ago when Charlie called on Hazel with a face longer than Durante’s smeller. *Tm in a spot, baby,” he gloomed. “I owe my bookie. Butch Fleeson, seven grand and he just tipped me off that if I don’t pay up by the end of the week I’m in for some bad trouble. Butch, as you know, is a pal of min* and wouldn’t make no fuss if it was up to him, but he says the guy who runs the syndicate is press ing him.” **What can I do about it?” asked HazeL **Well, M said Charlie, eyeing the glinty knick-knacks on her arms and neck,’* 1 could raise several grand on your jewelry. It would be just a loan, you understand . . .” "Nuts to that loan stuff,** said “And while we’re having this heart-to-heart, I might as well tell you I’ve been thinking of call ing it quits. Don’t slam the door, sucker.” • • • NATURALLY, Charlie was hurt by this kiss-off, especially after his many blue-white kindnesses to the little lady, but he was an old cam paigner and so he left without breaking her arm or doing anything else ungentlemanly. The next day Hazel got a phone call from Butch Fleeson, the bookie. “Hello, beautiful,” he said. “I hear tell you’ve given Charlie the brush and—” “You want to pick it up where he left off,” laughed HazeL “Okay by me, and you can begin by taking me to dinner.” **You catch on quick,” said the bookie. He named one of the ex clusive eateries on the East Side and went on, “Meet you at seven, and if you get there first order your self a drink. I’ll be over soon as I finish with the bets on tonight’s fight.” An hour #nd four Martinis later, Butch phoned Hazel at the restaurant. "I got jammed up," be said, "but I’ll be over m a few msmstes. Have them ice up a couple of quarts of chasm Pagne and order the biggest double steak in the bouse. Vm starved." By 9, Hazel had polished oft most of the porterhouse and all the cham pagne, but there was still no sign of Butch. Finally, plenty peeved, she told herself that no horse hus tler was going to make her wait around with ketchup on her mouth. But as she rose to go the waiter handed her a tab for $51.20. “Tell the manager I’m Mr. Flee- son’s guest,” she said. * • * FIVE MINUTES later the man ager appeared. “I’m sorry,” he said, “but I just phoned Mr. Flee son and he says he had no appoint ment here tonight.” “Okay,” said Hazel wearily. “I’ll leave this bracelet as security and come in tomorrow to pay you.” The manager took the bracelet and beckoned to a stoutish gent who was sitting at the bar. The man walked over, flashed a detectives badge and banded Hazel a typewritten sheet bead ed, "Articles of jewelry stolen from Mrs. Elizabeth Stone." And when Hazel examined the list she saw that, item for item, it matched the jewelry she was wearing. ‘There’s some mistake,” she said. “I got these things from a Mr. Charles Feltus and he told me he bought them on Fifth Avenue.” “You can explain it in court,” said the detective. “In the mean time, hand the stuff over. I’ll let you go home tonight but Fd suggest you don’t try to leave town.” When Hazel got to her apartment she found a sheet of paper under the door. It was a duplicate of the jewelry list the “detective” had shown her. At the bottom was a message in Charlie’* familiar scrawl: “Butch Fleeson thanks you, the syndicate thapks you, and I thank you. Don’t slam the door, sucker.** Evelyn squeeled with delight when she saw the coat. "You're the best husband a girt aver had, darling.** could he have forgotten? Days ago he had scribbled down this remind er, to be sure. Furtively he glanced at the high kitchen windows. There stood Eve lyn, her head and ner soulders framed in glass like she were a beautiful portrait She was working at the sink and she was crying! Eddie felt like a heel. Ne wonder she had used the ear to shop, and had fixed his favorite menu. She * had remembered, while he—he had requested her ring for supper! He watched Evelyn sniffle and blink tears. He stood on the stoop, considering. If he went home with a gift he might convince her the her ring was a gag. - All the stores would be closed by now—unless Old Jan, the jeweler, was still tinkering in his shop. B ECAUSE EDDIE thought Evelyn might miss the car if he took it, he walked to the nearest drug store and phoned for a cab. Thir teen minutes passed before it came. “Hurry!” begged Eddie. “Jan might remember to close on time.” Jan had closed on time. He re turned slowly to the cab. “Flowers are always appreci ated,” suggested the driver. “That’s an idea!” They drove to Marley’s Flo we j Shoppe—and found it locked. He just had to find something! He couldn’t go home empty-handed and face a weeping wife. He was moping toward the cab when inspiration hit him. “HanfeL the furrier! My business neighbor! He’ll come and open up for me.” “Wait twenty minutes,” Hansel said when Eddie called. “We’re eating. I got herring, yet.’* He waited forty-five minutes be fore Hanfel drove up. “I want a mink, size nine.” “A size nine mink, I don’t have. I got a Russia Fitch jacket, size nine.” “Wrap it up,” Eddie said, re signed. Evelyn must have been watching for him. She met him at the door. “Anything wrong, Eddie—?’* Inside, Eddie proudly displayed the Russian Fitch jacket. “It’s a special day, honey—remember—?” Evelyn squealed with delight and kissed him. “You’re the best husband a girl ever had, darling. And I was afraid you'd forgotten our anniversary—im agine!” She seemed seared suddenly. “Eddie—! You were kidding about the herring—!** Eddie held her close. “Certainly not, babyl Next to you, I love her ring best.** “Oh honey—! You're worth all the smelly old herring in the world . . .

They have been found very serv iceable for dairy bam construction, low in first cost and in upkeep. Attributes that contribute to con crete’s value as a building material on the farm are its durability, cleanliness, and weather and insect Dairy barn of concrete blocks and with a roof of fire-resistant asphalt shingles provides an ef ficient structure low in cost and in upkeep. resistant qualities. Concrete founda tions, masonry unit walls, concrete floors, and precast floor joists can be utilized to construct enduring farm structures and to repair old ones. If a dairy barn is well-constructed and insulated, body heat of the cows would keep interior temperatures at 45 to 50 degrees in almost any kind of weather. Lightweight aggregates in mono lithic concrete or in masonry units, vermiculite floors and underlayers, hollow core walls, and masonry units with granular loose-filled cores all have qualities that can cpntribute to the efficiency of rural buildings. Less Than Half of U.S. Farm Homes Have Baths Less than one-half of the nation’s more than 4,000,000 farm homes have baths and only half of the rooms are heated, a study of rural housing. accomodations revealed. Excessive standardization to re lieve early postwar housing short ages resulted in the building of mediocre farm homes of rectangu lar, box-like design with too small rooms, too little privacy and ab sence of adequate plumbing and heating facilities. However, under impetus of a U.S. department of agriculture program, farm house plans have recently been developed that are expected to fulfill the fundamental require ments. The new plans call for space, equipment and storage facili ties in proportion to the number of persons in the family. Coupled with the benefits of a 10- year electrification program that has brought electricity to 75 per cent of the farm homes, this new home designing will open an un tapped market for manufacturers of automatic equipment and home appliances. Pull Out the Car Although most farmers these days live on a hard surfaced road, there may be occasion when it would be necessary to pull a car or tractor out of a ditch. The above illustration shows how to get out of that ditch with the least amount of effort. A tow rope hitched to the front end of the ear and tied to a stake or tree at right angle at the side of the road, will give you the leverage to get out of almost any place without help. Make Christmas To Decorate Your £ MAKf CHRISTMAS Is good will what makes people “obliging?” Answer: There undoubtedly are people who get satisfaction out of acts of kindness. But the fellow who will “give the shirt off his back” to anyone who seems to need it is more likely to have a deep-rooted and perhaps uncon scious sense of guilt which he is driven to expiate by making him self suffer for the supposed bene fit of others, even though he may be actually encouraging them to be weak and dependent There is truth in the old saying that one too unselfish person in a family may make all the others selfish.

Answer: It does not prevent the graver types of mental illness, to which the most brilliant scholar* are as subject as the rest of man kind. But Dr. Benjamin Malzberg of the New York State Department of Mental Hygiene reports that it seems to add considerably to your chances of retaining control of your mental faculties as you grow older. Qf persons committed to institu tions after sixty, those who had no formal education exceeded ‘the normal quota for their age by ninety per cent. It’s mental activ ity that keeps old folks sane.

Barton W E ARE ALL go used to special ists in medicine that we may wonder what is left for the gen eral practitioner to do. As a matter of fact, the general practitioner has more to do, more ground to cover, than at any previous time in his tory. He must know something fbout all fiie specialties in medi cine. In the first place, the general practitioner sees the patient first and sees the symptoms present In the early stages. He knows them exactly, or as well as Is humanly possible, just^ which specialist should be consulted. In former days a patient was nor mal, -or sane, or he was abnormal, or crazy. Today, the general prac titioner is able to help patients with early signs of mental disturbance because he usually knows the back ground of the patient and the cir- rumstances which may be causing ar be partly a cause of any odd be havior. Today, as never before, the gen eral public is learning more about psychiatry. In Medical Clinics of North America, Drs. Josephine Ewert and Mary Giffin, Mayo Clinic, state: “Without malice aforethought, curiosity of laymen demands of the family physician some understanding of the intelli gence tests, the projective tech nics and the vocational aptitude examinations frequently applied to his patients.” In regard to intelligence tests, the family physician win find these tests of more value In children than in adults, as showing the mental and physi cal progres of the child. Also whether the child, instead of being alow or retarded mental ly, is unusually bright and how best the parents can bring np the gifted child./ The gifted child is not easy to raise. The usual child sits well at six months, walks at 15 months, and talks in sentences of three words at 24 months. However, Drs. Ewert and Giffin point out that patterns of behavior, such as toilet training, mean more to the mental and emo tional adjustment of the child than does his sitting, walking or talking ability. ffl Now She Shops “Cash and Carry’ Without Painful Backache iowa down kidaagr foas This nay Imd maty folka to plats'el naggins baekaeba, leaa el pap and doa to op nighta or (raquaat from minor bladdar Irritationa dampnaai or diatary fadlaeratiooa.
