Editorial Correspondence
NEW YORK CITY, Aug. 29. After much maneuvering
were able lo get seats to "You Can't Take It With You" with
out consulting the speculators. Thia ia the Pulitzer prize play,
and ia a box office ten-atrike. Expected to be rolling in the
aisles and atagger home in a more or lesa hysterical condition.
But once more great expectationa were knocked for a loop,
and after much effort we are atill unable to figure it out.
Had the performance been put on by the Baker Stock com
pany in Portland, at $1.50 tops, we would have agreed it was
a good slap-stick farce, adequately performed, with a refresh
ing and wholesome philosophy, emerging in the last act, from
the general cock-eyed chaos. But here waa the Pulitzer winner,
and the big hit of the 1937 season, at a minimum of $3.30 per
seat, the place filled and many standing and while there
waa plenty' of good horae play, many snappy gags and no
end of amusing nonsense, what all the shooting has been about
is more than we can fathom. Perhaps the answer ia that the
present writer lias no taste for true farce. But farce to our
mind shoul with all its exaggeration and caricature, have a
body and a soul, so to speak, and as a whole make sense.
'.'You Can't Take It With You" doesn't, or at least didn't
as far as we were concerned.

The net result left us as cold, as a Chinook salmon on ice.
But the audience enjoyed it, so did most of the Medford delega

we should consult a doctor and see if there isn't something
radically wrong with the editor's digestive apparatus. Even
so and returned to normalcy we doubt if we will ever con
sider anything so side-splitting in the more use of the word
"STINK I" Finally we defy anyone to suggest that the romantic
clement in this prize winning opus, does not. DESERVE, the
term, in every TENSE, and delivered WITHOUT a smile!

manifestations of
simple chronic rhinitis or "nasal

(3) victim generally insist he "takes

Simple chronic rhinitis commonly

opinion. Some good doctors and re

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Medicine Making Rapid Strides
In a pamphlet distributed by tha
American Medical Association X read
that a well known surgeon objects to
the Injection method of treating her
nia because It requires considerable
time and hence Is unsulted for pa
tient who come from a distance as
It would require them to remain
away from home for quite a while.
IT. S. A.)
Answer You must have got hold
of some ancient stuff. The American
Medical v Association has recently
recognized the value of tha Injection
method and even published some
articles on the technic In It official
Journal.
Varicose Veins and Varicose Ulcers
You have offered advice several
times about varicose veins, but Z
have never seen anything about vari
cose ulcers in your column. I have
had one on my leg for six years and
It has never quite healed. (O. C. B.)
Answer -Send a stampfd envelope
bearing your address and ask for In
structions for treatment of varicose
veins or varicose ulcers. Xt Is gener
ally necessary to treat the underlying
varicose vein or at least to employ
measures to counteract the Impaired
circulation In tne leg, In order to
heal the ulcer.
Enlarged Thymus
Newborn Infant lived only a few
hours. Autopsy report ascribed death
to enlarged thymus gland. (Mrs. O.
F.)
Answer X-ray examination of ser
ies of young Infants showed enlarged
thymus gland in a large number,
whether the infants had any appar
ent trouble attributable to such a
condition or not. Frankly nobody
knowa what enlargement of the thy
mus in tha young infant signifies.
X-ray treatment purport to cause
tha enlarged gland to reduce some
thing like "normal" size; but possi
bly the large thymus naturally under
goes such change In the course of
weeks or months, whether treatment
It used or not. What medicine has
not yet learned about the thymus
gland will fill large books some day.
