Fifty-tw# privates and three officers took the oath. The company has a roster <xf fifty-five privates and three officers although three privates who have signed up were unable to be present .and will take the oath this week. Lieut. Dean P. Doerr administered the oath while a goodly number of visitors, mostly Legionnaires, looked on. Immediately following the mustering ceremony the company niembers agreed on Monday nigrht as a temporary date to meet each week. Uniforms, olive drab with overseas c a p s d i s t i n c t i v e f r o m r e g u l a r a r m y . . . . . and national guard garb, are expected ' these patients are in spirits aside in two weeks. The unit will be equip- f from the exhausting results -of per with Enfield rifles and police riotj the attack. ' By DR. JAMES W. BARTON WHEN a patient has an attack of acute gall bladder trouble with severe pain in upper right abdomen going over into the shoulder it has been the custom to wait until all symptoms have disappeared j before operating.

Each picture should be a close-up, to show your actorfe expression. chisel, or a sledge.

A clev&r title helps, and sometimes yon can borrow oh from a well-known book, song, er bit of current slang. Another way is to pick a title first, and build tits story or sequence around It Toy puzzles--such as a Chinee# wood block puzzle, or metal Hnfc puzzle--are always good tor an ex* presalve ' sequence. Parlor magic tricks are good too--just show yoar subject performing a trick that doesn't come out right Or, have. him in the kitchen, compiling one of the skyscraper sandwiches that the comic strips have made famoas . . . and then trying to figure oat how to eat it. A good method la to outline sectoral of these amusing sequences**' easy ones--and then make one eaoh evening that you take other indoor snaps. You'll find they add spies and humor to the snapshot albuot John ran Guilder • 18 SOMEBODY In your family a 1 good actor? Maybe someone is-- but you haven't discovered It yet Then tiere's a snapshot Idea that will help you find out--and will provide Interesting1 winter activity for your camera. The Idea is, simply--make character sequences. Just snapshots in a series--three, four, or a half-dozen-- showing your actor In some kind of situation. And, of course, showing how he comes out These pictures should be closeups -- emphasizing your subject's face and his expression--so, get out your portrait attachment If you haven't one, this Is a good time to obtain one--they're simple, useful, and belong In every camera kit Indoors, of course, you take these shots by means of amateur photo bulbs and high speed film--using any kind of camera. Topics for sequences? They're legion. You might -try the picture above as a starter. Have your subject attack the obstinate walnut with the nutcracker, then a hammer, then perhaps a mallet and sticks. Lieut. Doerr explained the various | duties of the militia in that they j would take over policing of the state in the absence of the national guard and their duties would be much the same as the stete militia. Fuli strength of the company is to be sixty-four men and three officers. The local company is one of the largest in the third regiment of which .this unit Is a part. Lieut Doerr commended the officers for recruiting .such a fine company In so short a time. Three .brothers from Woodstock, Charles, -George and Jack Meyers, took the oath. Twin brothers from McHenry, James and Joseph Walsh, are members. A father and son from Harvard, Harry B. and Harry W. .Block have signed but were unable to be present Friday night. Walter Eckert of Woodstock has signed but due to illness was also unable to-be present. William Andrew and Claude Pagles of Harvard, world war veterans, are members. Two of the officers, Captain Cooke and Lieut. Rolls, are world war veterans and past commanders of the Harvard Legion. The company will be known as Company F of the 3rd Illinois reserve militia.

Dr. F. Glenn, New York, in Surgery, Gynecology and *• Obstetrics, Chicago, records the histories of the 219 patients with acute cholecystitis (inflammation of the gall bladder) who have been treated at the New York hospital in the last six years. Early operation is not difficult, there was not a greater number of complications, nor was the death rate higher than for ordinary or chronic gall bladder diseases. Dangers of Delay* Dr. Glenn states that as the outcome of an acute inflammation of the gall bladder cannot be predicted (even as in acute appendicitis), delay in operating may lead to dangerous complications which greatly increase the difficulty of operation and increase the death rate also. The younger the patient undergoing operation, the better the chance of an uneventful recovery and good recult from operation. From his observation of these 219 cases, Dr. Glenn recommends that Dr. Barton Mm Frank St. George spent Monday with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Dusil, in Berwyn.

I&ported Genius Native-bom Americans have given to the world many epochal inventions, of which the late Thomas A. Edison contributed more than any other single individual. But America also owes much of its prestige in invention to the genius of foreign-bom immigrants who added luster to its brilliant record. A few of these may be mentioned. Ericsson, who came from Sweden, invented the Monitor. Alexander Graham Bdll, born in Scotland, later lived in Canada, and as a resident in the United Statfa, gave the telephone to the world. Emile Berliner came from Germgpy to perfect the telephone and improve the phonograph. Nicola Tesla from Austria-Hungary invented the induction motor and numerous other epochal electrical devices. Charles J. Vanderpoele from the Netherlands devised the electric Street car trolley. Charles P. Steinmetz, coming from Germany as a poor,* deformed immigrant boy, who borrowed money from a fellow passenger in order to obtain admission to the United States, won universal fame aa an electrical wizard. * * Michael I. Pupin, a poor immigrant boy from Hungary, made long distance telephony possible. This by no means exhausts the list of those of foreign birth who developed their great natural talents after coming to the United States, and Who became identified with American scientific achievement. bladder and bile tubes or ducts un dergo operation as soon as it is known that this disease is present 'unless the general condition of the patient is such that further medical treatment should first be given. < Facts Regardirfg High Blood Pressure B. OH! THEtt wy AKE *T*HERE was a time when the first -1- thought when a patient had a temperature was to give a drug-- acetanilid, phenacetine, quinine, or other--to reduce the temperature. Today, the physician takes the temperature and pulse as usual but searches around to And the cause of the temperature. If the temperature gets very high, he may give some drug to reduce it slightly but he knows that the rise in temperature shows that nature is putting up a fight against some invader. It would seem that the time has come for patients and physicians to take the same stand about blood pressure. A patient learns that his blood pressure is a little above normal and wants to take medicine or follow a diet to bring it down. Dr. Edward Weiss of Philadelphia in "Practical Talks on Kidney Disease," says: "Let us take the example of a middle-aged man who has been turned down by a life insurance company because of high blood pressure. He goes to his physician and demands to know the blood pressure figures; on each visit to the physician he waits with anxious concern }o hear the latest reading and frequently has ideas of 'stroke,' 'heart failure,' or Bright's disease in the •back of his mind." Why Nature Raises Blood Pressure. Now, what about high blood pressure? As a matter of fact, nature has raised the blood pressure because it was necessary to raise or increase it due to some condition present in the body. This condition may be a real or organic condition such as hardening of the arteries, or it may be some condition such as eating too much or worrying too much. It is possible that some infection is present which is giving the body processes more work to do and the blood pressure increases accordingly. All that is necessary in many cases is smaller meals, more rest and relaxation, and not bothering to have the blood pressure taken more than two or three times a ym*.
