"But it's not just a piece of water” we countered. ”Think of the perspective and toil of the build-i ers who chose the site and fash- ioned dam and gates and miilracc.

world. I am referring to diabetes and to the discovery of insulin by Drs. Banting and Best, University of Toronto.

Not. only is insulin curing dia- betes in the young but diabetics at any age can now be kcpt alive to live as long as if they did not have this once-fatal disease.

Before the discovery of insulin.

there was organized what is known as the Diabetic Association in which all the knowledge regarding diabetes was distributed to known diabetics so as to prolong their lives. Although insulin is the specific treatment for diabetes. there is much information regarding diet. rest and exercise that the diabetic must learn to enable him not only to live safely but to be able to earn a living. Because of these facts, throughout the world today have been organized many branch- es of the Diabetic Association whose work is helping diabetics every- where.

Last year what is known as the Diabetic Association of Ontario was organized and piijcsiclans were asked to have their d.abetic pat- itnts join the Association. The fee is nominal. two dollars a year.

The Ontario Association has over 400 members and is now con- sidering the establishment of a Foundation which will provide a permanent fund for the support of its activities as has been done with polio. arthritis. and heart.

Their special goal is: (1) Facili- ties where children who have rec- ently acquired diabetes could be in structed and adjusted to the complex conditions under which they must live; 42) facilities where elderly or poor diabetics. lacking proper home care. might be guided and helped: (3) a laboratory for' diabetic detection; (4) a place for study of social and mental prob- iems; (5) headquarters for the ac- tivities of the Diabetic Association of Ontario tiay group).

For Tomorrow

POSSIBLY an unforgettable day, with swift and sudden oenouements of radical and far-reaching signi- ficance. While this may be demon- strated with strenuous, ardent and dynamic activities in all relations of living. there could be a danger of frustrating highest hopes and wishes by some sort of mistaken Judgment or too-eager decisions based on faulty premises. Make all moves discreetly.

For the Birthday

Those whose birthday it is may be prepared for a memorable day. with unpredictable crises coming like "bolts from the blue." de- manding quick decisions and sub- sequent action. but not with reck- less "flying off the handle." with- out discretion. sound logic and facing probable consequences with discrimination and for vision While ardent. and enthusiastic management enhance long-range prospects and grtitifications. snap judcment could complicate. Pre- liminary. analysis of concomitant factors from all angles could bring romance and high adventure thrills.

Vacillaling Beau

His Instability Keeps Sweetheart Guessing

x'wx5'x'

DEAR MISS DIX: Three months ago I met a man whom I've been seeing very steadily since. From the very start he told me he was separated from his wife and child. He has professed his love for me on numerous occasions. We have stirred many interests in each other that have long been dormant. He respects my moral code of

. ' conduct and says he has more than a physical love for me. He thinks I would make a. wonderful wife and mother, and that he'd always be happy with me.

He admits his wife still has attractions for him. but lacks the depth he sees in me. Becausr he feels he can't promise anything. he has told me to go out. with others. Although his was uri- , I happy with his wife, he says he would go back ”; ' - to her if she needed him as he could learn to tal- ' . - -' crate her because of the child. He cannot bear the thought of his wife remarrying and have his child, who is 4, call- ing another man Daddy.

Would a man be content to live with a woman for the sake of a child, or is he using this as an excuse, knowing he cares for his wife, more than he wants to admit? This is not the first time they have separated. Is the mam confused. or does he seem to know what he wants? Should I hang on and hope. drop the affair completely. or go on seeing him and other men as well?

EDNA

ANSWER: You have become the third figure in it very un- pleasant triangle. hut inasmuch as you have known this man only three months lid say your emotions are not so completely involved that you can't drop the whole affair and look around for some nice men who will have more consideration for you.

They looked at each other. Bit- terness and shame and blind rage at the old lawyer seemed suddenly swept clean away; Mark onlY,lm"' that he loved Pam!

"Of course you saw that some- thing was-wrong?"

She gave him a sweet. frank look. putting out her hand.."l thotizht he wu-hot-rid!" she cried warm-

He held her hand close a mom- ent and kept it to help her into the taxi. He could not tell her there-in the street!

she smiled at him from the env- ernous depths of the checkered black and yellow monster. "You're. comtng to see me? Let me see - I'm' home tomorrow afternoon, five o'clock."

He had no right again, but he had a right. to tell the truth in his own wayl He merely said. in a strained voice, "Five, tomorow-it's not a func- tion, is it?"

she smiled radlantly leaning forward, her hand on thq door. to answer.

"Just you-no one else!"

Later, struggling out of the jam at Wall stret, he added to this his

He suddenly decided to 80 MVVII to the great Trust company build- ing where Burleson held sway- Fosdick had been doing a little business for him, and 'BurleS0n had telephoned several times for him to come over and close it uP- Fosdick recollected that he could go there now. He reached the mar- nate after waiting half an hour in a luxurious anteroom.

Burleson was affable; he wanted to see him, he said, about the Grant estate. Fosdick almost laughed; he had come about Mark Grant. For fifteen years the exe- cutors had had the Barton money in trust; the only heir was in Jail. Burleson, recalling some details about it now. looked across the ta- ble at his colleague.

"Isn't it near time for that to be out?" he asked suddenhr. Fo3dIck'5 dry grin conveyed nothing-it was too cat-like in its whiskered grayness.

"He's out."

Burleson was perceptibly tied. ”Slnce when?"

Burleson shook his head: he had shifted his chair a little and lay back in it now, thinking

"He hasn't thought of claiming Barton's money yet, has be?"

"He says he won't until he's cleared." Fosdickk smile widened "Cleared?" Burleson did not smile. "The deuce! Does he ex- ” ' in clear himself after fifteen years?"

'..c probably knows he can't be cleared It all," Fosdick replied af- fably, "and he's talking bluff!"

"But he hasn't tried to get that money." Burieson persisted.

"Oh, he will!" Fosdick testiiy; "of course he will!"

There was a long pause and then Burluon said flatly: "1 think he should have it."

Fosdicl: looked at him thought- fully, something like in. twinkle in his eye. "I didn't know you liked him. You testified against him. Burleson."

"That's neither here nor there," said the great man bluntly; he was seventeen. wasn't. he? What's he like now?"
