those receiving aureomycin.
In a similar group that also
had aureomycin, many of the
persons felt improvement, and
such diseases as asthma and
bronchitis were helped, too.
Preventive Method
The dosage of aureomycin giv-
en dally did not cause many side
effects, and there wen no bad
results even after prolonged ad-
ministration of the drag. There
was no evidence of any loss of
antibiotic power.
Then fore, it would seem that
the giving of one of the anti-
biotic drugs might be helpful as
a preventive method used against
dangerous inter-current infec-
tions in elderly people.
QUESTION AND ANSWER
Mr. R. I.: I had a goiter opera-

The Golden Text of the lesson-
sermon entitled "Soul and Body”
to be read in Christian Science
churches this Sunday is from
Matthew: "The light of the body
is the eye: if therefore thine eye
be single, thy whole body shall
be full of light” (6:22).
The lesson points out that God
is soul and man is His reflection;
that man’s soul is God and does
not dwell in a material body.
Mary Baker Eddy, the discoverer
and founder of Christian Science
says in this passage from "Science
and Health with Key to the
Scriptures:” “Rightly understood,
instead of possessing a senitent
material form, man has a sensa-
tionless body; and God the soul -
of man and of all existence, being '
perpetual in His own individual-
ity, harmony and immortality,
imparts and perpetuates these
qualities in man,—through mind,
not matter.”
He quoted from the report of a
presidential commission appoint-
ed to "determine if charges a-
gainst it (UNESCO) were valid.”
Among other things, Murphy
said the commission foud there
was no evidence of atheism or
antireligious bias in UNESCO's
work, and "UNESCO does not at-
tempt to interfere in the Ameri-
can school system."
At a press conference Murphy

SAN ANTONIO, Nov. 20 (P) —
Hugs and kisses and standing j
pledges of cooperation last night ।
wiped out a history-making elec-
tion fuss in the Texas Congress
of Parents and Teachers.
The balloting gave Mrs. Leon
Price of Dallas a whopping five-
to-one victory over Mrs. C. R.
Larimer of Houston for the
presidency.
But after the battle of ballots
was over, Mrs. Larimer came to ।
the platform and embraced the
petit, brown-eyed grandmother ,
who will lead Texas' 450,000 PTA I
members during the next three
years. I
Included in the love feast at <
the rostrum before 3,000 delegates
at Municipal Auditorium was the
outgoing president, Mrs. H. G.
Stinnett of Plainview. She was
showered with gifts and praise (
for her administration. One of
the gifts was a huge silver punch-
bowl presented on behalf of the ,
PTA board of managers by Mrs. j
Larimer. ,
As the new officers were in- ;
stalled, the audience, including :
many of Mrs. Larimer’s backers, ;
stood in a pledge of cooperation
for the new administration.
The convention came to a close
at noon today.
Mrs. Price polled 3,213 votes to
608 for Mrs. Larimer. It was an
overwhelming defeat for a South
Texas PTA faction that contended ,
among other things that the con-
vention's nominating committee
"passed over” Mrs. Larimer for
promotion from the first vice
presidency of the organization.
Interest stirred up by the con- ,
test brought a vote turnout more
than double the number usually
cast.
Delegates warmly applauded a .
State Department official who as-
sured the PTA that the United
Nations UNESCO does not ad-
: vocate world government, does

ELDERLY persons whose bodies respiratory infections do-

prome to catch infections sec-

and he hoped to determine while
here what the trouble might be.
Opposition to United Nations

the tribute as his due “Delafield s
is my creation, not my mint." He
poured Charlotte another drink
from the cut-glass decanter.
"Nobody, but aobody thinks."
he went on "Listen to them—the
platitude attitude, the comfortable
commonplaces that eliminate the
need for brain strain.” He talked
in epigrams. "Convention is a cor-
set,” he said. "Behold people
squeezed into it, stiff and unnat-
ural, cramped by it. All the tears
and hates and guilts and conflicts
laced up, suppressed. But still
there—till one day they break
through as aggressions. A fist
fight. A murder. Isn’t it better to
live freely?"
The magnetism of his low, per-
suasive voice. The spell of ms
light, discerning eyes... Char-
lotte didn’t see that he spoke of
freedom while robbing her of it.
She even thought his mordant wit
was humor, his flashing charm for
her.
"But you're too flattering an
audience,” Mr. Cummings said
"Don't let me run at the mouth
like this. Tell me about yourself,
Charlotte. I want to know about
you. Where you were born, how
you got to Delafield’s, where and
how you live. Everything." He
leaned toward her, listening like a
doctor.
Suddenly Charlotte wanted him
to know that she was not one of
the dull people ne scorned; that
she, too, was different and under-
stood about unconventional be-
havior. Impulsively she told him
the whole story of ber mother.
He was delighted. "But there you
are," he exclaimed. He got up from
his chair and crossed to sit on the
couch beside Charlotte. "That's the
pcriect example. The feelings your
mother tried to suppress all those
years she lived with your father
would out ultimately. And of
course it explains you. Your hos-
tility, born of insecurity; the pre-
tense of being emotionless because
you fear the effect of feelings; the
ambition to get even with,file. Yes,
and the nurt in your eyes that you
don't even know is there."
Nor did she. Now she lowered
them from the knowing look in his
"Shall I make a diagnosis, Char-
lotte?" he asked. "We're two of a
kind, you and L"
He reached for her almost
empty glass and set it on the coffee
table. He bent and kissed her, his
lips demanding on her mouth.
There was the need to become
close to another human being, to
escape tier aching aloneness. There
was the need of a caress, even a
false and shallow one, such as this.
And so her close association with
him began.
The next day Mr. Cummings
called a o r i e t meeting and an-
nounced that the missing mer-
chandise nad been found. Cere-
moniously ne nanded the rings and
watches to Mr. Nathan. "The cul-

excited Charlotte. When a head-
waller bowed them to a table in
plush places such as she had never
entered . . when people turned
to admire them at the theater,
Charlotte in the simple black din-
ner dress King nad suggested that
she buy. ne himseit striking in the
tuxedo to which he seemed born
, . in the taxi, returning to
King's apartment, she saw herself
playing a role. She, Charlotte, safe
inside, watched the actress star.
At the otfice, too. She, Charlotte,
safe inside with her secret.
Of course she knew that King
enjoyed molding and educating
her. That was fine. She wanted to
learn—about art and music and
books ana Une food. About psy-
chology, advertising, business. She
wanted to pick King's brains. She
supposed it was one form of gold
digging.
And all of tt was better than
forever eating alone at home or in
the miserable, cheap restaurants
with their fried-food smells, their
congregation of the slightly shab-
by, somehow dispirited and gray
ones who ate there, together, alone.
All of it was better than forever
listening to the sound of solitude
that was like the ticking of the
grandfather's clock back home,
wnen she'd come from school to
emptiness, after her mother had
gone.
Love? The sentimental non-
sense with which so many deluded
themselves, the syrup that poured
from Tin Pan Alley? “I love you,"
her mother had used to say. Love!
That was what made the affair so
satisfactory. Neither of them ever
even pretended to love.
•'By the way, there's a woman,"
he’d said once in the beginning.
“She is in love with me. It's a
nuisance. But she won't be bother-
ing me any more."
When nad Charlotte begun to
know King meant to chain down
and control her, mentally and phy-
sically? His will—always his will.
At first it was all charming and
subtle. Till he realized he had
never possessed her, the Charlotte
safe inside. She listened to his
opinions but formed her own.
It was then King tried new tech-
niques. Intimidation—"You seem
to forget I know all your secrets."
Degradation—"After all, who are
you ? The daughter of a plain dirt
farmer and a licentious mother.
When I took you in hand you
didn’t know Monet from Manet, a
Moselle from a Rhine wine."
None of it touched Charlotte.
No more did nis staged moods of
gloom, or frigid faultfinding, or the
weeks of ignoring her existence.
At last she began to see King as
he had tutored her to see others.
She saw that he reaehed for power
out of his deep fear of being hurt
and humiliated; that he disparaged
others so he might feel superior,
wanted everyone to share his own
torturing frustrations and sense of
futility. She saw him as one hope-
less and helpless.

:3: CHAPTER NINE
..CHARLOTTE tied down the
stairs. When she got out on the
street, she found the apple still in
fair hands. She tossed it into an
open garbage can. and glancing
back, saw an old man snuffle out
of the shadows and snatch it.
At eight-thirty the next night,
Chaflotte and her mother rang Mr.
Cummings' bell, entered the ex-
pensive East Side apartment.
You’d think It was a party, Char-
lotte thought—the way he insisted
on serving drinks, toasting Mrs.
Morgan's health, telling her what
a clever daughter she had, now re-
markably alike they looked, like
sisters. Charlotte saw her mother
almost taken in, charmed by his
manners.
Until he said, "Now if you’ll for-
give me, Mrs. Morgan, there are a
couple of details ! want to work'
out with Charlotte." He brought
her worn coat, helped her into it
as though wrapping her in ermine,
bowed her to the door. She sent
Charlotte a wan look and iert.
They were alone. He made an-
other drink, and when he brought
it over, he kissed Charlotte lightly
on the lips. It startled her, the
quick kindling of her body, the
sudden surge of feeling for this
man she hated.
"You do have emotions, Miss
Morgan, don’t you?" he had said.
He’d known-
Like my mother, it was like this
with my mother.
They sat with their drinks, Char-
lotte stiff and unforgiving. Around
her the harmonious mood-making
room. Within her the warm relax-
ing liquor, the stir of excitement
at being alone with this attractive
and urbane man. He talked, and
as she listened, Charlotte began to
forget why she had come.
She had never met a mind like
his—brilliant but embittered, culti-
vated, acute. Her own responded,
echoing. Yes, yes, that's what I
think, too! I, too, think normality
is dull, that we should dare to be
different
"Our whole educational and
social system," Mr. Cummings was
saying, "is geared for the masses.
All is held to mediocrity. Our chil-
dren are not educated, only in-
structed. And consider today’s
books, magazines, the so-called en-
tertainment Behold the ugliness
of manufactured products. One
must search for anything tastefully
styled."
"Delafield's for the discriminat-
ing,” Charlotte said. He made her
feel clever, sophisticated.
