Mr. Araaen did not "interfere" in the i i a affairs of another as some people have mistakenly i Bat the Argentine government, after signing the United Nations charter, with its pledges of freedom of speech and the press, began its old tricks of closing newspaper which, criticised It, of arresting reporters, including Mr. Arnaldo Coitesl of the New York Times, Mr. Braden, as TJ.

BUNDESEN, M. D. SOME fifty years ago the late eminent Doctor Silas Weir Mitchell of Philadelphia introduced a rest cure for the treatment of certain nervous disorders, and this treatment has influenced medical practice for this entire period of time. Nowadays, army physicians have realized the importance of rapidly restoring sick and disabled men to duty and, following Dr. Mitchell's idea, have developed programs which have revolutionized the use of physical and mental rest According to Doctor Frank H.

Krusen of the Mayo Clinic, programs of physical and mental activity tend to keep patients in a much more cheerful mental state and, furthermore, tend to lessen the period of disease and the tendency to recurrence of the disease. Convalescence Rednced Some from Air Forces hospitals showed that the period of convalescence in certain acute catching diseases has been reduced from 30 to 40 per cent by these programs. One hospital reported a reduction from 18 to 11 days of hospitalization for patients with measles, ar.d a drop from 30 to 23 days for patients scarlet fever. A study of more than 600 patients with a certain type of pneumonia showed that one group convalescing in the ordinary manner with continued rest aveiaged 45 days in the hospital, while for those given the mental and physical activity the period was reduced to 31 days. There was a recurrence of the condition in 30 per cent of the patients who were treated with rest, and in only 3 per cent of patients who were kept active.

According to Doctor Krusen, there are but few patients who die of heart failure alone, without complications. The three great causes of death among patients who also have heart failure the formation of a blood clot in the lungs, pneumonia, and a kidney disturbance called uremia. He thinks that these conditions are more likely to develop under a state of complete rest and might be prevented by mild muscular activity. It would appear, then, that excessive rest may be almost as harmful as too much activity. It is the middle ground that must be considered.

Each patient is care- iully studied by the doctor and the amount of effort he is allowed to exert during his period of convalescence is determined by hii condition. Patients who have had an operation cannot be told to go home and return to work when they feel "strong enough." Rather, thej must be observed throughout period of recovery, and their activities controlled to bring about complete recovery as quickly as possible. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS A. Could a cataract be caused by an injury or the physical condition of the individual? it come on suddenly or just gradually? Answer: Injuries may produce cataracts. There are certain gen- eial disorders as diabetes which may be accompanied by cataracts.

As a general rule they develop gradually. of these millions of civilian soldiers, sailors and flyers will be remembered while the nation lasts. Year by year t'ley anc. their nation will be mo.e proud and satisfied over what they accomplished.

J. SCOTT Announcement ty the navy last Saturday that it had developed a radio contioiled "ghost" Hellcat plane, raised many local eyebrows and aroused consideiab.e curiosity as to this weapon a developed partly or in whole at the local naval air station. Certaily, after we know wheie the atomic bomb was developed and manufactured, there can be no haim in at least discussing what was accomp'ished at the local base 01 a went on up there. Everyone in the community knew that some oC the experimental woik clone here early in the war had to do with radio-coin: oiled planes In fact, one afteiuoon while we wsie watching two planes cir- cl.ng ovet the city, a chief petty officer said: "Sec that little plane? Theie ain't a in it." So the Satmday lelease by the a stalled us won- i much of the "ghost" Hellcat was developed in Traverse City.

because she jast couldn't get to sleep. Poor Chris, he was so glad to get away from the office for this short vacation! He had said, "Let's go to the shack alone, don't invite anyone." So they had kaded the car with groceries and bedding and jolted up a lumber road to the log shack, niched on the mountain side, which they had built when the boys were small. The boys, John, Charles and Little Chris--how memories of them curled in every cranny of the place! But Cynthia was so uneasy that tight No letter these ten days from John, Charles, or Little Chris! The plane carrying word could have crashed, the letters been lost--the plane from Australia, from China, from Iceland. It did not mean that John, that Charles, that Little Chris were wounded--dead. It was now four o'clock.

The birds were beginning to chirp; a milky light succeeded the darkness of the room. Cynthia, wrapping a blanket around her, had stolen out to the terrace which overlooked a vast stretch of undulating country. The stars weie still out. And her heart intoned: "1 shall lift up mine eyes to the hills from whence Cometh my help." Then, "Be Tkou nearer than breathing, be closer than hands or feet--to my sons." She felt better in a few minutes as if she had made contact with Someone watchful and merciful. Then she heard the distant noise of a plane, although she did not see it.

John was flying a plane from India to China, taking oil and tungsten and ammunition to the Chinese-John, snubnosed, freckled, mischief in eyes. Oh John, fi.y high, dar- Kng--be careful of those Himalayan peaks! The door squeaked and Chris istepped out, straw slippers on his his old red bathrobe trailing. this is where you are!" he said "I woke up and missed lyou." "I couldn't sleep, kept turning, lafraid I'd wake you." "Haven't slept much myself," he muttered. "Go back to bed." He pulled up a stool beside her. arc you doing--praying?" Cynthia nodded.

They sat close, finding strength in Irniion of memories of their three isons, drawing courage from tae of the heavens. Then Cynthia's locker creaked. "Look, Chris I--that's an awfully big star!" Chris sprang up. "Star? The (blasted thing's falling "There's another--not fax from it too!" They watched the flares drop be- fhind the spur of Wildcat Mountain, liemote from house or village. Chris tnrned to her suddenly.

"Guess you know what that means --the war is right here, and right now! I'll get dressed fast and telephone Major Tyrell and join a posse to search those woods. Parachutists --saboteurs--that's what the flares mean, I've an idea." "'I'm going with you," said Cynthia. The night before there had been no evening lecture, lights were forbidden, and word came from "Doc" when he brought the breakfast Jray, the morning after Mrs. Lawrence had been killed, that no lessons would bo given that day. The precious hour of daylight liberty, which Bill Steuben had been allowed lately, was to be cancelled for a period.

When Bill asked why, "Doc" said that he didn't know and bolted out the door. Bill knew that the ruling was a precaution against discovery; people would be drawn to November Road the next few days. He had slept fitfully the night before scourged with anger and helplessness, and his longing to be with Elconore through this ordeal. She must be worried, too, at not hearing from him. Two days ago, ne had caught a glimpse of her coming down the mountain road and he thought he read dejection in the languor of her walk, the droop of her shoulders.

If he could only get some word to her that success was in sight! After breakfast, "Doc" shut Bill's window and drew the draperies close when ho returned for tray. Steuben felt profound relief that he didn't have to sec Carlotta today, for how could he conceal his aversion? Any meeting with her was strain; this recent tenderness of. Carlotta for him complicated a work that needed volumes of self control! Of course, he was no philanderer; it went against the grain, but--no scruples from now on, he told himself with tightened lips. The tension had been eased somewhat since last Sunday, for Carlotta had slipped back into her role of Nazi zealot She had been businesslike on Monday, rigorous in examination, almost as if she regretted losing her head. This attitude had continued until yesterday morning when, after a session of instruction in signals, she had murmured, when he was leaving, "It is hard to go on like this, but it is the safest way." Then she had shown him a peephole through which the interior of the room could be seen.

"It would be your undoing as well as inine," she murmured, "spies are here among the servants." "I hope that our--our close relationship has not colored your judgment." "No," she brooded, "You are capable of this job, but it is dangerous --very. There, I have spoken my fears! It has colored'my j'udgmenB enough to wish that Baalah had noq selected you lor it." Bill demurred gently. "These ara dangerous times. Let me share in them, Carlotta--to prove myself--I promise to exceed all expectations." She left him, smiling her permission. Steuben began to recast his menn tal notes: The factory to be seized) was only thirty miles away.

Whed a fleet of bombers was ready fod delivery, the seizure would takoi place inside at night.

Yet the Nazis had! succeeded too many times in the daring and incredible not to believe ini its partial, if not complete, successj It was imperative that he got out here soon.

Carlotta turned the key, partly opened tho door, but did not enter. She wore a silk negligee over her nightdress, and mules on her other wise bare feet. "Do I look pale?" sho asked. "No," replied Steuben. "Why?" She ni.ide a disgusted grimace, "I am staying in bed just in'case there be other importunate callers Wasn't that a tragic accident yesterday?" "You mean--?" "That old creature blundering in to the classroom! The orders are: The front door should never remain unlocked, but some idiot left it open --never even put the catch on the screen! Of course, they all denied it, but it won't happen again!" Bill remarked heavily, "No, notj likely She never reached home; did she?" Carlotta shrugged- "Too bad." "Very," Sho lifted a brow.

"A narrow es-3 cape but I surmise that ai fatal accident happened before she could reach home and relate what she had seen! For that reason one must remain hidden for a few, days. Since she probably told her family her destination, we may expect questioning. I shall receive the questioners in my bedroom very graciously, telling them that I arm ill and must rest in bed much of the time, that I and the servants are all! who are living here.
