Banner” was written 150 years ago on Sept. 17. It did not, however,‘be- come ‘our national anthem right away. Not until 1916 was it played by the armed services. An order to this effect was then issued hy President Wilson. In 1931 it wasofficially made our national anthem, the first song so honored. The: flag which inspired Francis Scott Key during the British bom- bardment of Fort Henry near Bal-timore is’now in Smithsonian Institution. It is 30 by 42 feet, and has 15 alternate red and white stripes and 15 stars, for the origi- nal 13 states plus Kentucky and Vermont. The tune, which strikes many would-be singers as impressive but difficult, was borrowed from an old drinking song, “To Anacreon |in Heaven.” If the choice of national anthems: depended on ease of singing, the preference would: undoubtedly go to “Ameri- ca” which gets its tune from the British “God Save the King.” But. the chances seem good that, despite o¢casional talk. of change, “The ‘Star-Spangled Banner” will continue to be sung—often a bit haltingly—as our national anthem. ‘SoThey Say A! boycott which uses children as pawns in a power play is reprehensible and destructive.

Their flexibility and ingenuity as strategists would be given . Q—Are injection treatments for hernia of the groin successful? A—The injection of an irritant chemical into hernias was tried about 25 years ago and abandoned by all top flight surgeons as an unsafe procedure. In order to repair what is essentially a defect in your abdominal wall, the surgeon must be able to see what he is doing. The injection treatment, still practiced by very few surgeons, is truly a shot in the dark. With the modern choice of effective anesthetics, increased surgical know-how and precautions for avoiding infection, hernial repair can now be safely performed on persons who used to be considered poor risks because of their age or other adverse factors. Q—What causes a ruptured diaphragm? Will an operation correct this condition? A—A diaphragmatic or hiatus hernia is a protrusion of part of the stomach through a weakened diaphragm. Many persons have a mild form of hiatus hernia that causes them little or no discomfort. In_ others, persistent pain makes it necessary to seek relief. The operation to repair this type of hernia has been greatly im- proved in recent years. Anoth- er form of treatment, the gastric freezing that has been used to treat peptic ulcers, has been used to correct these hernias with excellent results. But this treatmentis still considered experimental. Q—My daughter, 29, has multiple sclerosis and can’t move’her hands or feet. Her doctor is. giving her Doriden pills to relax her so she can sleep.

What ‘if it ‘is used for an. hour or longer at a time? What effect would it have on the eyes if they are not shielded? A—Daily exposure to the sun or lamp that emits ultraviolet light can be beneficial if the exposure is not too great. Eight or 10 minutes a day is enough to satisfy your body’s needs. Exposures of an hour or more can be tolerated only by persons who have developed a deep tan. The eyes should be Shielded at all times because this type of light will irritate the retina and over-exposure can cause blindness. the desperation signals may go a, ie severest ee Wall Street Chatter NEW YORK (UPI) — “Bache & Co. says the market’s underpinnings remain strong and the firm continues to believe. the next significant move will be on the upside.
