REVOLT IN CONGRESS THE ablest Washington correspondents recently have noted the fact that the present Congress, fresh from the people, is in revolt against the whole scheme of government by bureaucrats. This disposition to halt the growth of regimentation and administrative law, has steadily hardened since Congress convened. There are committees engaged in investigating all phases of administration. There is a determination to enforce economy, to put a stop to the flow of questionnaires, to arrest the growth of regulations, to preserve free enterprise long threatened, and gravely undermined. A strong committee lias been appointed to watch agencies of the government closely in order to prevent any one or all of them from exercising any power which goes beyond the letter and intent of the laws.

It is also to examine into the personnel of the various agencies, and to make recommendations at frequent intervals. This will have the effect of making every agency walk the chalk. They will be far more careful about keeping well within the bounds of the law and about the number and competence of those who are employed now that they know that they are under constant scrutiny. There are committees on expenditures, on ways and means of cutting the budget, on price controls, on government publications, and so covering every phase of administrative activity. Congress is resolved that the executive department shall have no more legislative power, that there shall be no further encroachments on its own prerogatives, and no further extension of controls beyond the actual necessities created by a state of war.

Certainly this attitude on the part of Congress lias grown out of the attitude of he people as a whole. They demand a return to the Constitution. UNDERSTANDABLE RELUCTANCE of farm boys to ask deferment from military service has added to the already serious farm manpower problem, Secretary Wickard told the House Agriculture Committee. understandable. The American farm boy from the inception has been a patriot.

It is hard for him to stay out of uniform. Government must convince him that he also serves who tills the soil, plants and reaps that others may be able to fight and produce the tools of war.

You think ifs he though, you? why you don't want me to stew about His voice was rising, he was very angry. And she was angry at the inference in ranting. He was like a little child about David.

Why she keep an old friend. Especially one who was so considerate, so thoughtful about her. Jake seem to mind her sitting in the house all alone, night after night, in storms and in blizzards. She was glad she had this dog. Anything was better than being so alone, so lonely.

it was David. I Maybe he thinks I need a watch dog. Maybe he thinks I be left alone three miles from town and a half mile from the nearest She was all worked up now. All the frustation and solitude of the last few months seemed to rush to the surface. She control what she said.

He was furious. he He came up once, right after Christmas, to see if I come back to suppose you told him like to. How miserable I make you, even afford to give you a maid.

David drive out called me up in New York that afternoon, told Het to tell me to stay in town, that the roads clear. If I get in, how did David get His voice was still quiet, but he sounded angry again. Hay felt panicky. If she lied and was discovered, Jake would certainly believe the worst. This was going to be bad enough.

better stick to the truth. "He get out. The roads been cleared and he want me to stay alone. There was a possibility that the storm might have been a really bad one, he felt it might be dangerous for me." She said it all with a hopeless feeling that nothing she said now mattered. a fortunate coincidence.

David comes to see you when not there and the storm forces him to spend the night.

He had changed. Every word he said seemed to raise barriers that she feel equal to hurdling. If Jake really believed she loved David, then she felt it was useless to try to convince him that it true. been a fool to have seen so much of David last winter. She had felt sorry for herself because been sick.

Also she placed enough faith in love for her. She had thought he would love her more if he quite sure of her. Now she could see never shown him how utterly and completely she loved him. And maybe it was too late. If he knew why given up her job, that she had altered her entire way of life so that he could find himself, then maybe know.

But she tell him now. Not before the concert. never give it then. Rather than say too much and run the risk of losing in a few seconds all she had been fighting for the last eight months, she going to say anything. There was too much at stake for her to indulge in personal vindication.

Maybe like me to call David and tell him the He was -j3o angry that obviously the mere mention of name was enough to get him all worked up. Kay answer, and they drove the rest of the way home in silence.

Jake went straight upstairs, packed two suitcases, emptying his closet and bureau drawers. Then he collected all the music he had any use for now. Kay watched him with a heavy heart. He was acting deliberately and methodically. He was angry still, but it was a cold, reasoned anger.

It baffled Kay. There was an evening train into New York at 6 When Jake was almost finished the hall clock chimed five times. have an hour before train time, Kay said, give you some tea and drive you to the bother about the tea. get some dinner in town. I feel like eating anyway.

A CORRESPONDENT writes to ask what value the laboratory test called the blood sedimentation rate has. If I had a gift for fiction, I would write a short story to be jailed Man Who Ruined In this story a doc- Dr. Clendening will answer questions of general interest only, and then only through his column. tor invents an instrument called the esthesiometer, which measures pain. He goes around his little village sticking it under tongues and finds that the life-long whiner any pain it all, while the poor widow who has been supporting her children by taking in washings registers IOO per cent pain all the time.

The revelations of the esthesiometer in my story break up families and ruin the social structure, so probably it is just as well that no such instrument is invented. The physician, however, would like a reliable means of separating patients who are simply functionally sick and those who have tissue destruction or infection. The thermometer, the pulse rate and the respiratory rate are good rough indices of this kind and a valuable addition is the blood sedimentation rate. How Test Is Made The test is very simply performed a small amount of blood is put in a sodium citrate solution and left in a tube, upright, at room temperature for an hour. The blood cells settle to the bottom at a certain rate which can be charted.

Apparently in conditions where there is tissue destruction or infection, the blood cells are heavier and they fall to tile bottom of the tube at a more rapid rate. By and large it is a very reliable and valuable test. It does not make a diagnosis of any specific condition, but simply separates the sheep from the people who are really sick and the ones who are just complaining. Thus in over 80 per cent of cases of cancer the sedimentation rate was high; in cases of dyspepsia due to actual anatomical disease, such as ulcer of the stomach or gallstones, it is high or borderline in a large percentage of cases. LENTEN REDUCING DIET By Dr.

Clendening I hut sd cafenet i BREAKFAST 3 stewed prunes (no extra calories; 2 slices wheat calories; I teaspoon calories; I cup coffee (no sugar or creani). LUNCH cup steamed rice with Spanish tomato calories; head lettuce (French dressing or mayonnaise made of mineral calories; I cup tea (no sugar or cream). DINNER I cup cheese calories; cup shrimp IOO calories; I cup calories; 2 grapefruit OO calories. The border-line readings occur in the milder forms of the condition. In dyspepsia, however, anxiety reactions, irritable colon or dropped stomach, the sedimentation rate is normal in practically every case.

Of course, a number of people who have dropped stomach never complain at all, and the assumption is that people who do complain are of a hypersensitive character. With the doctor shortage- looming and the necessity of doctors only for those who are really sick, it looks as if the blood sedimentation rate might be very useful. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS A. N. a blood pressure of 140 in a woman of 33 years af age ever called normal? Does a person at that age ever suffer from a stroke? Answer: I would consider a blood pressure of 140 normal at any age.

People at the age of 33 sometimes have strokes whether or not the blood pressure is up. NOTE: Dr. Clendening has I seven pamphlets which can be obtained by readers. Each pamphlet sells for IO cents.
