BILL-BOARD
By BILL
I wonder if Uie world Is making
as much progress as we seem to
think? Sure, we've made big
strides in medicine and bombs and
printing and television and grease
less soaps. But in a few of the
modern fields we're slipping back
ward instead of moving ahead.
The most noticeable of these Is
in the field of automotive engin
eering. For (.'long time we developed
longer, lower, sleeker, more pow
erful cars. The idea was to
streamline the cars to point
where they looked good, offered a
comfortable ride anu a snazzy
Interior that was comfortable to
sit In and on. Then came world
war two and all our modern ideas
went out the window. The latest
theory seems to be to duplicate
the one boss shay. '
We streamlined cars down to
the point where we did away
with a sunshade jutting out over
the windshield. Then we put It
back on a sleek looking racer
at an additional handful of dol
lars, of course.
The designers did away witli the
ugly old radiator that hung out in
the open on the old cars and hid
it successfully behind a fancy
grill. Then they plunged Into a
contest to see who could hang
the most chrome on the front
end. The top ten have succeeded
so well that now we have to
hang an ugly bug screen over the
lront end to keep the bugs from
squashing all over the pretty
chrome work. It looks just about
like the old fashioned radiator
used to look.
Not content with this contest the
engineers then started competing

There's a shortage of nurses, of

more of them haven't followed the

Whether pleased or disappointed
by the political score, ain't it grand
to live in a country where men

it is swell. I think, that In some
fashion modem politics perpetuates
tne oioiime torenngnt parades and
village square bonfires, about
which beaver hats and crinoline

I think if moderns unglued them

out more to cheer together at the

more genuine patriotism to the

letters which express wonder that

Most disturbed is the critic who
accused me of "fiddling while

NEW YORK, Are you one of
me millions oi Americans wng leei
themselves In a rut?
Has life given you everything
you yearned for: A wife, children,
a Job, a home in the suburbs, even
a place to park your motor car
and you still feel dissatisfied?
Then you are suffering from civ
ilization's most widespread disease
to get what you want. There is
only one cure, and that Is to want
something you don't have, and go
after it.
You have made habit of following
a routine. What you need now Is to
make change a habit, and turn
your dull life topsy turvy in a
satisfying' way.
To do this you don't have to run
off with your stenographer, disin
herit your children, bait your boss,
set fire to your car or become a
cop fighter.
You can break the pattern of
sameness in your life in small
ways as well as big ways.
Here are a few suggestions on
how to find fresh windows to ad
venture: 1. If you Invariably start the
day with a glass of orange Juice,
have a piece of watermelon for a
change.
2. Comb your hair differently if
you have any. Everyone will re
mark, "what's happened to you
you look younger."
3. If you have been giving yoor
wife a goodbye peck on the cheek
each morning, kiss her full on the
mouth.
If she doesn't die of surprise,
there- will be a new sparkle in her
eyes when you come home.
4. Tell your boy, "gee, son, kids
have it a lot tougher today than
they did when I was your age."
This will give him a new respect
for your Judgement. He may even
go out and cut the lawn.
5. If you have been riding on the
left side of the bus every day.
switch over to the right side. That
will give you some fresh bus cards
to read and ponder over.
t. Lunch at a new restaurant
each noon, A man s stomach gets
as weary of a rut as man's
mind. And you will get to admire
more pretty waitresses.

the nearest church, cemetery, or

the conceited, self-centered sour-

activities of ordinary people: who

A -while ago newspaper friends
searched out 25 of these columns

choice from the hundreds avail

and such.
The choice of the experts were
tales of things that could happen
to anybody. Those epistles over
which i fretted, as over a thesis,
were ignored: and when I did a
jog for Reader's Digest they slash

that I had dug deep to get.
So maybe, in these serious times.
a little fiddling while Rome burns

those who feel that thev must have

8. At least once a week do some
thing completely new. Walk a dif

pool, read a different kind of book,
or visit a different department
store.
t. Take up a hobby you positively
cannot afford. Many men almply
can't afford not to be Interested
in trying to get something they
cannot possibly ever buy. For
them it is better to save up for a

10. Find the person who dislikes
you most, and, no matter how Ig
norant and worthless he Is, force
him against his will to get to like
you. This can be more fun than
anything, and, of course, after he
does get to like you, then you can
tell him to go to hades if you want
to. But you probably . won't.
If a man does these things he
may not necessarily escape his

much he will no longer remember

The owner of the car walked
out to Rocky Point to get help,
but the car was destroyed and th
fire crept Into the brush.

by lightning, were recorded be

was that he polled 6J9.0O0 more

by only 33.912 of 4.0J5.000 voles

Stevenson outdistanced popular

winner, by 105.000 voles.
Little less astonishing were two
other asiiects of the landslide vic
tory: That such success crowned
his maiden political campaign and
thai the office he sought was his
second choice.
Stevenson had an eye on a U. S.

But Arvey already was sold on

He campaigned fiercely against

his "scandalous and thriftless ad

After the election, he remarked
that he would have no say in shap

An early move toward this ob

The basal metabolism of a pa

around minus 40. Anemia it al
most always present, and there
are other symptoms, as a rule,
A doctor loves to make a diag
nosis of myxedema because the
symptoms can be completely re
lieved by simple means. The
treatment consisla merely In giv
ing the right amount of thyroid
tablets by mouth.
It la true that this treatment has
to be kept up Indefinitely, but It
la painless, not very expensive,
and completely relieves the many
distressing symptoms.
More difficult lo diagnose and
to treat than cretinism am myxe

pear to have an incomplete loss of
the secretion of the thyroid hor
mone. In them the aymptoma may
be vague, sometimes including
unexplained fatigue,' or perhaps a
light anemia.
The level of the basal metab
olism Is often of doubllul
meaning, For example, a metab
olism which is not lower than
minus 16 Is usually considered
normal. ,
Indeed, a person who has

have a true decrease in thyroid
function, and may not benefit
much from thyroid tablets.
In such a case the doctor la hard
