Neediest in Many Cmm Dr. Albert D. Kaiser of Rochester, N. Y., told pediatricians of the American Medical association recently that tonsils were not as great a menace to a child as had been suggested frequently and in many cases were operated on for no good reason. From the study of 4,400 children over a period of 10 years he reached the conclusion that the practice of removing tonsils and adenoids automatically, which has resulted in tonsillectomies on almost 50 per cent of the urban children in the United States and England, was without foundation. / Dr. Kaiser said that the common cold, with its unpleasant complications, had influenced physicians and parents frequently to remove tonsils and adenoids hoping that fewer colds would develop. His findings, however, failed to show the validity of this. While the children who had been operated on, one half of the total number, had fewer colds in the first three years, they actually had more colds in the next seven. "It is quite likely," he explained, "that the removal of the adenoids benefited younger childreft but sis the children advanced in years the adenoid tissue retrogaded so that the unoperated children were likewise benefited." Dr. Archibald L. Hoyne of Chicago, one of several who joined in * panel on contagious diseases at the meeting, recommended a combination of antitoxin and sulfanilamide in the treatment of epidemic meningitis. He expressed the opinion that there had been too much anxiety regarding spinal fluid in the disease and not enough consideration of the condition of the patient. Good results could be obtained, he said, by injection of the combination serum into the veins without attempting to release the fluid. Child Needs Religious "'training, Too, Says Wiiter We have laid great stress on the physical care of children. We have set up centers for the education of mothers, organized extensive nursing services for mothers and children, trained specialists for their protection against disease. But in our devotion to health and education we have overlooked the basic element in the matter. We have made scant provision for the education and development of his spirit. We have glorified his body and neglected his soul. You cannot prepare for a successful happy life on this earth and leave out God and His works, ideals and laws. Yet that, for the most part, is what we have done in relation to the education of our children. JThe clergyman is helpless unless the parents co-operate with him. It is idle to teach a child one idea for 15 minutes or half an hour a day when the remaining hours of the 24 -deny the teaching. It is just as idle for the teacher to teach day after day the duty of man to his neighbor and to himself if the home denies the teaching. Church and school and home together must bring the full measure of their regard for the soul,of the child upon his daily life so that righteous becomes his habit The above is by Angelo Patei of Chicago Daily News. Bank Thief Hires Taxi A young man hired a taxicab, rode 10 miles to Denver, Ind., robbed a bank and returned to Peru, where he dismissed the cab and sauntered away with $2,400 in his pockets. Cab Driver Ray Stebaugh expressed astonishment when the bandit was traced to his cab. "He told me he had business at Denver," he said. Slabaugh said he drove the bandit, whom he described as about 28, to the Wabash Valley Trust company. Inside, bank employees said, the bandit produced a revolver, demanded and got the money.

Alfred L. Plant may not have the answer for that, but his job is measuring holes in doughnuts. He travels around the country measuring doughnuts and doughnut holes with his micronveter and testing doughnut qualities and exhorting bakers to bake standard doughnuts. He states that we consume $78,000,- 000 worth of doughnuts a year. Plant says that the standard doughnut of today has a hole of seven-eighths of an inch in diameter and the outside of the/standard doughnut is 2% inched, but to a certain extent different localities want different doughnuts. New England remains the heart of the doughnut belt. He adds that doughnuts are not fattening, «b "ofessional jockeys eat them. "You and your wife ought to have one big fight and clean things up."

"Yes, sir, best in town,*' responded the waiter. "If you order a fresh egg, you get the freshest egg in the city, sir. If you order hot soup, you get the hottest soup in the city, sir. "I believe you're right," interrupted the customer. *1 ordered a small" steak." Miss Dtetz said: "How feel, Karl?" Karl looked around the room. He said: "It feels all right. Miss Dietz. I can see everything--absolutely everything. It feels all right." They took Karl out to celebrate. He bought a turban for his mother, a necktie for his father, a transparent belt for his brother, a bottle of perfume for one of his sisters, a pen and pencil set for another. No one in the shops stared at Karl. They did not know that his left eye was different from his right. They did not know that the iris was tattooed to match his right eye; that the pupil was only a pin prick done with a surgeon's instrument. Trouble Began Four Years Ago. The story goes back four years. »Karl was nine years old at the time. iHe lived with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Woehrmann, in Juneau in the Wisconsin dairy country. His father worked for a dairy company. The family did not have much money. Karl went into an orchard with other boys. He picked an apple from a tree freshly sprayed with arsenic insecticide. The arsenic made him ill. Blemishes grew on his skin. Something white covered the irises of his eyes. The skin blemishes vanished after a while. The opaque white curtain receded slowly from the right eye and Karl could see through it again. But local doctors said they could not do anything with the opaque white curtain on the left eye. In May, 1939, Mr. Woehrmann got a letter from his brothers and sisters in Wesel, Germany, where Mr. Woehrmann had lived until 1912. The letter suggested he send Karl to Germany for treatment. The Lions club in Juneau heard about this. They collected money for Karl's passage. Karl's mother traveled as far as Chicago with him. He went on alone from there. Last March 5 he came back. The German doctors had done nothing about the white curtain on his left eye. They Hear of Refugee Doctor. Some one told Mrs. Woehrmann about a Dr. Max Goldschmidt. They said he had been head of eye surgery at the University of Leipzig in Germany for 18 years. Dr. Goldschmidt had left Leipzig three years ago. Men who had been in his classes and had later been colleagues, crossed the street when he approached; they avoided his company. Mrs. Woehrmann took Karl to Dr. Goldschmidt. She explained she had no money. She told about Karl's trip to Wesel. The surgeon said: "I can help your boy. There will be no fee." Karl came back to New York last June. The doctor found a thin spot iii the dead white film over the iris of the left eye. He got through this and performed a coloboma--opened an aperture that restored sight. He sent Karl back to Juneau. Some weeks ago the boy came back. The doctor performed a second operation. On the marble-like film that curtained the iris he tattooed an artificial iris with India ink. It matches the iris of the other eye almost perfectly. RINGWOOD At the benefit card party in the Community hall Thursday evening, there were twenty-one tables in play.

V*' ' Winter motoring safety takes a big step forward this year with' the introduction by Nash Motors of what is said to be the first full-fledged system of pressure ventilation and heating for automobiles. Foggy and frosted windows, old winter driving hazard, are thoroughly eliminated by the system, which the company has been developing in millions of miles of owner use during the past few years. Known as the "Weather Eye," the system draws in great quantities of fresh air, under pressure, through the open cowl ventilator. The air is filtered, dehumidified and warmed to the desired comfort level, which is maintained automatically by thermostatic control. Pressure inside, the car is slightly greater than outside pressure, hence moist and used air is constantly being forced, out. Windows, which are kept closed, are said to be completely clear of frost and fog when the Nash system is in operation.

His mathematics proved, he contended, that if he had been going 44 miles an hour, as the arresting officer testified, the policeman could not have caught him until both had gone 829 feet beyoDd the spot where the arrest was made. Then he proceeded to prove that if he had been going 30 miles an hour --the legal limit--the officer would have caught him at the exact spot where the arrest was made.
