WHEN GROWN PEOPLE
GET WHOOPING COUGH
While Not Particularly Dangerous in Adults This
Annoying: Ailment Is Far from Being a

By ROYAL & COPELAND, M. O. .
United States Senator from New York
Tomer CommUtioner of HtattX, Veto Tort Clip.
WE arc inclined to laugh at onusual things. Nobody smiles If
told that Urs. Smith's child has the whooping cough. But
everybody snickers on being told that Urs. Smith has the diseaas.
I suppose It seems funny that the lady did not hay this ailment
' frhen aha "ought to have It, in childhood. It
, teems a childish thing to have whoopinc cough
at twenty-eight.
But grown people do have tt. They may.
have very severe forms of it, too. It la a terribly
annoying ailment for anybody to hava.
I can well recall how I dreaded those spasms.
1 thought I should die before being able to
- breathe again. My kind father, a big, strong
man, would lift me out of bed and, as bo held
me over his shoulder, assured mo I had nothing
to fear.
- "We need moral support in soma of our afflo
tions. This is one of them.
Whooping cough 4s not particularly danger,
ous whan met in grown persons or older children.
It is always serious in tmy babies.
This is a germ disease. Even about this common ailment we hare

The large, well-appointed room
with its glimpse of shining nickel
and porcelain bath beyond, gave
her a faint thrill of pleasure. She
hadn't asked the price, and she
didn't intend to. MeKevltt would
pay. She'd see to that.
She took some of the things
out of the suitcase and arranged
her. silver toilet articles on the
dresser. Maybe she'd stay a week:
no hurry about getting an apart'
ment.
"I ought to call him up and tell
him I'm here. she thought fin
gering the telephone book. "No, I
won't III run out and see Arery
first. . Ill hare a little fun be
fore I let McKevitt get a mort
gage on my life again!".
On the way out to Avery Wood
ward's shack in the artistic squa
lor of Telegraph Hill, her spirits
soared, her tighly clenched hands
relaxed. She forgot Daphne again.
Forgot everything except that the
taxi was bringing her to Avery,
Avery for whom the rest of the
world could go by.
He was reading in the fading
light from the big, .uncurtained
window. A swarthy, delicate look
ing young man, with melancholy
dark eyes, and long, very black
hair receding from the temples in
two deep, ever widening bays that
promised early baldness.
He gaye no sign of surprise
when she threw open the door and
stood there, breathless and laugh
ing. 'Avery you pig you aren't
even glad!"
He held out his arms, dropping
the book. "So glad I hare no
words," he said, and she ran to
him with a little sob.
When at last he released her
she said. shakily, "Well, you area
pig making me do all the run
nlng. I'm going to quit it. You're
the first man I ever did run after,
and you're- going to be the last.
Everyone else runs after me!"
He smiled and lit his pipe. "I'm
not like other men."
no." she said stormliy. "you
aren't. I suppose that's why I fell
for you. I don't know any other
reason."
How long can you stay?" he
asked. Ignoring her sudden flare
of temper.
"Oh as long as I want to." she
answered coldly. She almost hated
him sometimes. "What. the devil
do I see in him?" she asked her
self angrily. "He's lazy, and he's
untidy he isn't even good look
ing or half way decent to me!"
But lore him or hate him, the
couldn't forget him. She couldn't
be happy without him now, and
hek watching her with languid
amusement, knew it.
"Then you will stay a long time.
t I had known I would hate pre
pared a feast. I would hare swept
the floor, and made my bed, and
ordered good red wine from my
friend Ghlraldl downstairs. I
would have bought bread from
the bakery, and salami from the

money!"
He emptied his pockets, smiling.
See, not a cent! On Sunday
with the banks closed." . -
Arery, I believe you're always
hungry," she said, exasperated.
"You decline my feast?"
She tossed him her Email gold
purse. "Oh well, you won t be
good natured until you eat. Take
it. We'll go somewhere, only no
garlic, that's all I ask. I'll stand
for anything else."
They walked arm in arm to the
little Italian grocery down the
hill, and came back loaded down
with delicacies of Avery's choos

with excitement, she reached the
hotel,' it was almost morning.
Halt of the money Ralph had

loaned It to Arery.
"You big idlotl- she told her
self, staring at her flushed, beauti

throwing your money away!"
But she couldn't be sorry real

she thought, "and let him know

Administration Leaders Say
Majority in Senate is
' Now Assured
WASHINGTON. April 'It.
(AP) After a close check of the
senate membership, administra
tion leaders claimed today that
the expert1 debenture plan would
fall by a small majority to win a
place in the new farm relief bilL
On the basis of their examina
tion, the leaders hare determined
to let the plan come to a rote as
soon as possible but it was regard
ed unlikely that the farm hill
would be passed before the end
of this week, probably, Friday.
Republican ieaders hare decid
ed to use all their influence dur
ing the remaining days of debate
to keep their forces Intact and
President Hoover also is taking a
personal interest In the fight by
conferring with senators regard
ing his own view in opposition to
the debenture plan.
The first sign of a break In the
ranks of middle western republi
cans, who generally hare been' con
sidered democrats' staunehest sup
porters in the more to provide for
the use of export debenture cer
tificates, was noted today when
Senator Nye, republican, North
Dakota said after a call at the
White House that he was strong
ly inclined to rote against the de
benture proposal.' He said he had
not definitely determined his
course but that If no sufficient
reason Is advanced to warrant
him changing his mind, he would
rote with the administration.
I hare always been opposed to
subsidy for farmers," Nye de
clared. "The debenture plan
seems nothing more than that. We
senators who rote for the deben
ture plan now might find our
selves obliged to fight subsidies
for other things which we oppose."

"Judy," he said In a lower voice,

"It gives her a headache."
"Then you can't tell us how
many drops of water there are In
the ocean?" remarked MIJ with a
sigh. Mr. Punch shook his head.
Then all at once he said: "I'll tell

"It was wet as anything. That's
how the trouble started. The gi

But the moment they fell asleep,
they woke up again for the water
was terribly cold and . . ."
"... and damp," broke in Mij
"Yes, damp, that's, just the
word.' agreed Mr. Punch. "Well.
what did these same giants do but
decide to hang up the water to

for none had erer been made. Of
course, they didn't know this for
they had never read a book. Fi
nally they reached up and hung
It on cne of the horns of the
moon."
"And did it dry?" asked the
shadow-children.
"Not at all. The moon, being
quite old, tipped over and down
fell the tremendous sheet of water,
breaking Into billions of drops as
it struck the ocean-beds. That's
why when anything falls we say
It drops."
Mr. Punch stopped as though
he had finished the story. But
the shadow-children weren't satis

ants?" they demanded.
"The giants," repeated Mr.
Punch. "Let me see now ah.
yes, I remember. When the water
came dropping down, they looked
up and said: 'Well, well. If it
isn't a shower and we left our
umbrellas home, too!'"
With that Mr. Punch thought
he heard Judy call and hurried
off. It's a good thing that he did
for the shadow-children were just
about to Inquire how it was that
the giants happened to have um
brellas and why they left them
home.

Asparagus Without Waste
PICK up a bunch of asparagus
in your hand before you
buy it. It should be heavy
for its size. If it feels unexpect
edly light, it's an indication that
the stalks are dry, and therefore
tough. There are a few other
tests tor good asparagus. The
stalks should be regular,' straight,
smooth, and the tips should be
solid. If the tips spread broken
ly, or the stalks are wobbly and
mis-shapen, the asparagus is not
so good.
A good bunch is an economy
eren when it's not cheap. Because
erery bit of it has its use. Fresh
asparagus is most delicious when
served, hot. with a simple sauce.
WhatererIs left may be served
chilled as a salad. And to be
sure there's no waste, boil only
the edible part of the asparagus.
With a pointed knife feel from
the bottom of the stalks to de
termine how much is too hard
to be eaten with a fork. (About
5 inches -from the rip, more or
less is usually tender enough to
be eaten completely.) But the
lower part should be cut off be
fore boiling the asparagus. This
tougher section has plenty of fla
vor, and boiled by itself In a
quart of water -until it can be
rubbed to a pulp, it makes the
foundation for an excellent cream
of asparagus soup.
Several varieties of asparagus
are now in the market. There is
the thin, green type, which, when
fresh and prime, can be eaten al
most entirely from tip to bottom
or the stalk. Then there is the
thicker green asparagus, which
yields less of an edible portion.
You have to cut of from 3 to 6
Inches of the stalk. This is also
true of the Oyster Bay asparagus.
which Is perrhaps the most 'attrac
tive In appearance, with lta fat,
creamy stalks and tips, shading
from green to pale purple.
it s wasteful to scrape aspara
gus. If the asparagus is good
enough to buy, it Is fresh and
clean, and then only the little
scales must be snipped off the
stem, and the asparagus given a

In a bunch, after cutting off the

the bunch In a saucepan, and pour
in boiling water until only an inch
of the tips Is exposed. Cover and
cook for 20 minute over a mod
erate flame. Then add 1 tea
spoon of sa It and cook about 5
minutes or longer, if the aspar
agus is thick and not tender by
that time. Then lift out. place on
a hot platter, and pour off the
water. Of co'irse. the water in
which the asparagus was &oktl
should be saved to be used ' for
sauce or soup.
Send asparagus to the table ac
companied by a bowl of the sauce
that Is to go with it. Some peo
ple prefer to et the whole flavor
of asparagus unsullied by any sea
soning. A pleasant touch, how
ever, is plain butter, melted until
light brown and mixed with a-
little salt and pepper. Or reix
with lemon juice.

Cut the ten.ler pan of boiled
