An Argentine radiologist) has succeeded in taking a
i of X-ray pictures of the lungs of a patient suffering
a chronic cough. These have enabled doctors to learu
hly how the lungs create a cough and why, but also some
e conditions which may cause a cough to develop into
onic illness. The photographs Showed conclusively that
stent or violent coughing may damage the lungs in such
/ as to make the coughing continue.
That bit of information is of small comfort to the in-
jals who, at one time or another, are afflicted by a severe
ti. That includes just about all*of us. But, armed with

THE TIME TO HOP HIGH
WHEN your hand is splendid

support of your partner'^, but ex-
tremely weak on the defense
against an' opppsing contract—
that is the time to hop high in
your bidding at your first Oppor-
tunity Your desire then is to
shut out the enemy who. as it
appears, may be able to make a
btgtjscore if he can enter the auc-
tion. When your hand is very
strong in high cards, with no very
long suit or suits, you don’t fear
the enemy’s bidding. In fact, you
hope he will stick his neck out
Hence you take it easy then and
give him every possible chance
for suicide.

and explained, at painful length,
that tor. a purely personal reason,

important that she get in touch
With her father at the earliest pos-
sible moment. Did Mr. Burgin hap-
psk_4° know the details ot thia

Teq^ Burgin 'said expansively, he
knew all about this trip, the-wind-

ern deeds and contracts along in
case he found a good opportunity
to dispose ot them. He had also
suggested that with the present
favorable market, it might be wise
to dispose ot some of his stock in
New York and nad given Burgin
power ot attorney to act tor him
at his discretion in case such fa-
vorable break should occur during
his absence.
Burgin would be happy to In-
form her immediately if he heard
from ner, father and would most
certainly ask mm to contact his
home immediately in case ne
should" telephone him. This how-
ever he did not expect. After all.
why should he telephone Burgin
when ne had given him power of
attorney to act tor him a’, his own
discretion ?
“Think of s o m e t h I n g else,
Mother.” Donna cogged despair-
ingly. "There must be something
we can do. There must te some-
thing!”
"Well have to wait till he calls
us. Donna,” Jean said.
