Tall Tales

The writer of that letter says in part. "I would like to see Larry Gor- :-

ANGINA (PAIN IN CHEST) OI" EITOIT AND 0! BEST

When the pain known as angina pectorla occurs, it is usually dur. ing or foliowiru effort and the pat. font is advised in stop immediate- ly whatever he is doing and the P111! will Rradually go away. dow- ever. a cartoonist has pictured :1 mm Mn: on a couch who. when the pain came on explained, "But

i I wasn't doing anything!"

That angina. pectoris may occu: when the patient is at complete rest is stated by Dr. Louis A. Soloff. Temple University,,m the Journal of the American Medical Association, quoting Sir Thomas Lewis, the noted heart authority. Dr. soloff gives the history of three cases, aged respectively 79, 58, and 49, all of whom had at- tacks of angina pectoris whi.'e resting in bed. He therefore used the terms angina on exertion and angina during rest.

While angina at rest and angim during effort are due to dliferenr heart conditions, the symptoms!-

Everything about the shack looked epic and span. What were the men doing who were seated on the long benches? Some of them were cutting old Is- land twist tobacco. Every now and then theytd stop to rub it between, their palms, thus making it finer for pipe use. '

One day Luke was out hunting when he saw a dozen parnridgej roosting on a straight limb. but: with only one charge in his muzzle: loader, how was he to make a good kill. For a moment he stroked his. Blip Van Winkle beaird, then a bright idea flashed across his ac- tive mind. He put the ramrod in the muzzle of the gun. crept a bit closer and fired at the end of the limb. Bring! the gun i spoke and lo. every parirrldge was held fast to the limb by their toes. His William Tell shot had split the limb just enough to let the toes of the birds drop into the seam.

Another time old Luke was strolling along the shore near Block Banks when he spied a fine specimen of black fox cutting a corner bluff. Now, old Luke always wanted a black fox. but he knew the animal would be out of sight long before he'd have time to reach the wood. 80, he quickly put his gun over his hree. bent the barrel and aimed at the bluff. Lady Iluck was on his side again for he killed the animal. believe it or mil"

Almost as famous for his stories was George Banks who was a neighbour of Mr. Luke. Here are a couple from his imaginative mind.

"One evening in late Fall. I ar- rived home intending to drive to a neighbours only to find father had turned the horses out to pasture. It was a. very dark night and the pas- ture lay half a mile from the house limrounded by tall rpruce.

"I felt my way about the field till I put my hands on one of the horses. It was asleep. so I roused it and led the critter home. It seem- ed rather nervous when I started to throw on the harness but not until I had had it fully hitched, did I discover the animal was I bear.

The second story as told by George Banks had to do with a dumping steer. No matter how high he built the fence the animal would clear it at one leap. Finally in des- pair he thought of his near-sighted

painful chest-are the same.

"Angina pcctorls of dccubitus (at. rest) is usually longer in duratioxf than angina of exertion,” writes Dr. Soioff. "The patient can talk. will complain of i flushed warm face with fullness in the neck, in contrast to the pallid cold lace of angina of effort. Also. in angina of rest. the blood pressure and heart rate are increased during an attack. But. more important than the differences in syrnptomc are the differences in treatment. The attack in both types of angina is stopped by nitroglycerin. However. angina of effort or exertion is prevented by getting rid nf or abolishing the type of effort that produces the pain-, angina of rest is abolished by cutting down on table salt and by driving water out of the tissues of the body."

We learn from the above state- ment og Dr. Scloff that when angina at rest occurs. it is caused by too much work being placed on the heart by the sudden increase: in fluid returning to the heart. the wales from the body tissues by use of drugs gives. relief from angina oecioris and also enables the nav- ie-nt to breathe more freely. Nat- urally he feels more active and his activity will do no harm whereas in angina of effort. rest is in-. im- portant part of the treatment.

Q. When an introduction is forc- ed upon you, and you know from things you have heard and seen that you will not like this person, is it possible to show your feelings by your manner of acknowledg- ment?

A. If you do. you will also be guilty of rudeness and ill-breeding. Acknowledge the introduction with a courteous "How do you do?" and you will be under no further obli- gation.

Q. If one has never met the bride. but is well acquainted with the bridegroom, would it be all right to send the wedding gift to him?

A. This should never be done. All wedding gifts belong to the bride, and should, therefore, be sent to her.

Q. Is it evtc correct to send for- Imai invitations in the first person? A. No; formal invitations are al- ways written in the third person.

Man Starts For Reno 3 Times in I6 Months 01'' Marriage

DEAR DOROTHY Dix: I am a man of 50. Have been married ,sixieen months to a woman sixteen years younger than I am. Didn't gmuch want to marry. but did it to please her and a matchmaking irelaiive. I have no fault to find with my wife. She is good, consid- (erate of me. sweet and neat, and has never been unpleasant or nag- ging. She is not pretty and I catch myself not looking at her because she isn't. I have been so little satisfied with marriage that I have started three times to Reno. The first two times I was so uncomfortable in my mind that after ten days I went back home. only to begin wishing I had never married at all. Now I have just completed six weeks at Reno and with the divorce so near I am beginning to think I might want her after all. Still I have not Enjoyed married life enough even :4 to fly to fix up our house, and I am not stingy. and I am not in love with her or anyone else. but I hate to think of being tied to her as long as I live. What shall I do? R H S

ANSWER: My advice to you is to go on and get your Reno di- vorce for the psychological effect it will have on you. It will clarify your feelings for you as nothing else can. You will lose your wife Only to find her. so to speak. and my prophecy is that the next you will do after getting your decree absolute will be to buy a mar-

riage license. ACT YOUR AGE

5

You are suffering from two mlliakea. The first is that you are refusing to be your age. At 50 you are expecting yourself in be as sentimental and romantic as a boy, and have all the thrills and palpi- tations of a young lover. '

Forget it. Don't expect to have a young heart any more than to have a young body. You cant: run and jump as you did when you were 20. You dontt want to sing just for the sheer joy of living. You've lost plenty of the enthusiasms and beliefs with which you started out as a boy. but that doesn't keep you from enjoying life in a saner. soberer way, nor from having many years of usefulness and happiness before you. Only your emotions have slowed down to the tempo of 50

Your second mistake was throwing marriage info the discard be- fore you ever gave it a chance. You didn't.even try to make it a success. You didn't even attempt to build ii home together. Any- thing would have been .a failure that you went into with that spirit.

After marriage almost every husband and wife go through a period of panic in which for a moment they regret the step they have taken. A sudden horrible sense of finality seizes upon them of hav- ing to live with this man or this woman until death ahali part them. A sunk feeling at realizing that they ave forfeited their personal liberty. Marriage isn't as glamorous a they expected and probably nine out of ten would call it off if they could without scandal or complications. But the mood paasea.- They get their second wind and a clearer insight into marriale and turn it into what It was meant to be - a happy companionship of a man and woman. -

You are suffering from a kind of matrimonial shell ahock and you need a sense of liberty to cure you. Once you realize you are fires. 1 think you will deliberately put yourself back into double

arneas.

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: I am a young woman of 22 torn between two loves. One of these young men iminsanely jealous. so much so that he makes scenes and says he la going to whip any one who tries to go with me. He has a new car. but doesn't have a job. and it seems that he is not able to hold one because he devotes ioomuch time to me. The other young men I go with has a job. but no car. Neither of these young' men could support me. Would you drop both and fry someone else. or would you try to work out the present

situation? If ' A GIRL IN DISTRESS ANSWER: Neither one of the young men seem anything to write home to Mother about from your account of them. but if you must choose between them take the man with the Job who isn't "try- inlt to support a car he canlt afford. At least. he seems a gentleman, and a reasonable human being-and to have some consideration for your dignity and good name. which the cad who goes around making scenes and assuming the right to boas you does not possess. Whatever you do. don't be foolish enough to marry a Jealous man. Thatd way milery lies. for Jealousy is one of the faults that cannot be cure .

DEAR MISS DIX: Speaking as an elderly man. I wonder why the modern girl does not realize that the greatea charm and attract. iveness for men that a woman can have is femini ity. If girls knew how they looked to men they would cast their short: and their britches into the ragbag and get some skirts.

GR.AN'Dl'A'I'l-flit

ANSWER: I agree with you, Grandfather, that a girl never makes a greater mistake than when she throws her femininity into the dia- card. It is her trump card and the one on which she can depend on winning out in both the game of love and of bual

I have often wondered if any man ever proposed to a girl who had on trousers. It must make one feel as if he were popping the question to bid little brother.
