SOCIETY TURNS
TO BARN DANCE
Chicago — (UP) — Society’s new
est fad is the barn dance, and it
has found favor not only with the
younger set, but with the farmers,
who stage the affairs and reap a
comfortable profit.
The idea apparently originated
in northern Illinois, where farm
ers deeded to augment their slen
der incomes by converting barns
into dance halls for Saturday
night affairs. Society, hearing of
the affairs, looked in, and re
turned each time such a party was
scheduled.
Miss Frieda Foltz took a party
of weekend guests to one of the
affairs recently. One of her guests
waltzed with a blacksmith, an
other learned the stomp from a
fanners’ daughter, and the host
ess herself danced the quadrille,
one of the most popular of num
bers at barn dances.
At first the farmers turned out
the cattle, engaged a piano player
and a drummer, and began to
dance Business improved so rap
idly that a new floor was laid in
the barn and a six-piece orchestra
hired to furnish music. Miss Foltz
said.
Several other Illinois towns have
reported success in the revival of
barn dances, with their quadrilles,
square sets, and round dances. So
ciety flocks to them, reports say,
and comes again the next time.
Soviet Engineers
Leave for Turkey
Moscow — (UP) — Soviet officials
have proudly announced the de
parture for Turkey, of a group of
soviet engineers and specialists
invited by the Turkish govern
ment to help plan a series of in
dustrial enterprises.
The soviet union itself, to a large
extent, is dependent on American,
German, English and other special
ists, wherefore they are gratified by
this sign that the country can ex
port and well as import brains.
The specialists expect to remain
in Turkey several months.
This trip is one of the results of
the recent visit to Russia of the
Turkish premier, when the soviet
Turkish agreement was reached for
the exchange of goods and soviet
assistance to Turkish industry.

Man Buys $100
Bills for 25 Cents
Philadelphia — (UP) — Hundred
dollar bills at 25 cents each.
That seemed like a good invest

purchased several of the notes from
a man who came to his drug store.
The first offer was for $75 on each
bill Blitzstein told police. Thinking
they were counterfeit, he refused.
The quotations then dropped until
he bought several for 25 cents.
Then police arrived and said the
money was the real product of the
Bureau of Printing and Engraving,
but that they had been stolen.
Mr. Blitzstein lost his quarters.
The most beautiful hand ever

British Concentrate on

London —(UP)— Judging from
the huge increase of imports of
Empire wine, the success of the
“Buy British” campaign has
caused an increase of intoxication
in Great Britain, but.
This has not been the case,
simply because British imbibers
have reduced their consumption
of foreign wines to an equivalent
extent. Ir other words, the situ

concerned, is ‘ unchanged.”
For the first six months of 1932
Imports of Empire wine totalled
2,484.930 gallons, oi 890.000 more
than in the corresponding period

Digestive Troubles Often
Prove Simple to Physicians
DISCOMFORTS USUALLY HAN
ISHEI) QUICKLY BY DOCTOR
BY DR. MORRIS FISIIBEIN
Editor, .Journal of the .American
Medical Association, and .of
Hygcia, the Health Magazing
The term, ‘'indigestion,'' is an
unscientific word like, ‘dyspepsia,”
but almost everybody knows what
it means. It merely means that the
person who suffers with this symp
tom is having trouble with the di
gestion of his food or in absorbing
it.
Most of the processes of the
body under norma! conditions
take place without any notice on
the part of the person in whom
they are going on. Just as soon
as any of the physiologic
processes begins to attract extra
attention because of pain, noise,
irritation, irregularities or any
other disturbances it assumes the
nature of a disease even though
it is really only a symptom.
The digestive organs are. in
general, not sensitive to heat or
cold, or to light pressure. On the
other hand, they are in intimate
contact with organs in which
there is acute sensibility so that
distubances in the digestive or
gans may be called to attention
through feelings in organs adja
o«ht.
Many people get used to a cer
tain amount of discomfort during
digestion and pay little attention
to it. Others are acutely sensi
tive and respond to much smaller
stimuli.
Cronic disturbances of diges
tion is frequently due to bad hab
its in eatins\ but in many in
stances is the result of actual dis
ease of the stomach or intestine*
According to Dr. S. W. Patter
ron, the commonest cause in every
day life of discomfort after meals
is the bad habit of hurrying over
meals, chewing the food incom
pletely, or swallowing large
masses.
Moreover, great, gulps of air
may be swallowed with the food
that is taken hurriedly or with
fluids taken rapidly. As a result
the stomach becomes t distended
and air is regurgitated.
Sometimes the difficulty arises
from chewing food and then wash
ing it down with large swallows of
fluid. Under such circumstances
the eating of the solid food sep
arately from ihe taking of fluids
serves as a simple and successful
means of pievention.
In many instances when there
are erosions in the stomach at the
end where it empties into the in
testine. or when there is irrita
tion of the valve where such emp
tying • curs. the symptoms are
ouite definite. The usual mani
festations include discomfort two
or three hours after a meal, re
lieved by taking food or by taking
bicarbonate of soaa.
The first symptoms of this dis
turbance are heartburn, belch
ing of acid and the development
of a large amount of saliva. The
people who have this combination
of symptoms find frequently that
it comes on during cold weather,
after worry or exposure, and that
It is much worse when they are
constipated.
Obviously, the determination of
exactly what is wrong jmder such
circumstances is of the greatest
importance. The physician makes
his diagnosis after a careful studv
of the ease, including the use of
X-ray to view the stomach while
actually working, and includ ng
also a study of the fluid secreted
Young Democrats Plan

London — (UP) — Innovations
from the United States usually
have hard sledding here, but the

such importation and developed it
along original lines. They have
put the cafeteria on wheels.
The London, Midland, Scottish
railroad has attached an experi

will build more.
Equipped with the customary
“self-service" devices ,the car offers
the advantages of quick and inex

British devotion to tradition long
caused abhorrence of the idea of

Gradually the public became con
