Pains in the cheat are pretty common,, and it is safe to say that the majority of them are of ifttle significance. It is truo that nome may be due to serious mischief, but you must remember that serious disease is seldom present without other signs.

One of the commonest cliest pains is that caused by a type of neuralgia which affects the nerves between the ribs or the little muscles which help to raise and lower these bones.

This pain may be very acute, and is often made worse by taking a deep breath, much in the same way as the pain which necompanies pleurisy; but patients with pleurisy are usually ill, whereas the sufferer from neuralgia is not.

Pains round the heart when due to heart trouble are most uuusuri in young people. There are certain types of heart disorders whích đo cause pain, but before this can happen the disense must have existed for some considerable lime. True, heart paina generally come after exertion, and are certainly uncommon when the patient is resting. Undoubtedly the commonest cause of pain in this region is indigeation. It is closely related to meals and comes on at certain Interynis after food, occurring even at night when the patient is in bed. Flatulent dyspepsin in common in Many women, and rest is often dis- turbed by pains round the heart due to pressure of the wind in the stomach. Heartburn is often experienced as an additional symptom.

FOR YOUR GRAMOPHONE

Tis becoming increasingly dimeult to write

about gramophone records at

least to write about them for the "average" listener.

ΙΠ the world of so-called "light" recordings nothing ever happens. The same artists go on making their records year in and year out. The only difference be tween December and May in the light records business is that tho songs are different.

Otherwise, the monthly lista look painfully alike.

There are many possible reasons. First, the British public is blindly faithful to its favourites, That is why the same names krep cropping up: Gracle Fields, Peter Dawson, Jack Hyl- ton. Richard Tauber, "Hutch," Ain- brose, the Two Lesites and so on.

Second, even if there were a publie demand for a lttle variety, the granio- phono business is ns stuck for new talent as the radio 15.

PERHAPS You don't be- lieve that the great B.P.

is not keen on getting anything

Well, some years ago Jack Hylton deliberately left the beaten track of his recording style. He made a "hot" recording of "Tiger Rag" and "Lime- house Blues," That record is the worst seller he ever made; it didn't come within a couple of thousand copies of his previous "low,"

That was the last time Jack over nade a record for his own delight. The public would have none of it; only the famillur Hylton records would do.

And I am willing to bet that the. same ting would happen if any of the other artists I named were to depart for a slugle moment from what the' public expects them to do.

It is a and state of affairs, but not confined to the gramophone business. The Barne thing has happened in variety. When a music hall favourite disappears to make films, there is no- body to take his place.

+

So it happens that in the gramophone lists there

is only oue department in which anything ever happens; among the "standard" recordings.

Every month a new artist arisea, a

aren't simple. The literary value of a book is not diminished by it dirty thumb mack of a previous library subscriber, bul each playing of a record by even the most meticulous needle-changer affects the quality of reproduction.

I mention this hire-purchasing of records because many people are put off by the subscription prices asked for albums of some of the best recordings ever made,

I refer to the "Society" records (which per record are no more expen- Bive than those in the general cala- logue) Issued as such because they are not considered "commercial" enough for the ordinary lists.

In some 'erses this may be true, but I will swear that H.M.V. would not mind having received a fraction of the money that has changed hands among collector's for some of its limited editions.

HALF A MILLION THAMPS By W. A. Cap: (Routledge, 73, 68.) THERE are half a million tonie- less men and women in this country, and the author of these memoirs below the poverty line is known all as "the Tramp's K.C."

It is twenty-two years since he left ⚫lle unhappy, London home as a boy of fourteen, to, escape into a world of cold nights an the Embankment. casual wards up and down the land night aletlers; charity institutions and frült pickers' encampments.

This book will take you inside the minds of the nation's human drift. wood.

Half a Mimi Tramps should be the social worker's text-book. It will teach you to know that homeless half-million and, knowing them, to be in a better position to guide and help them,

But there is laughter, too, between these pages. And there is love,

There came a time when Mr. Gape decided to try a new life, excuping from the roads and lanes of Britain to the wilds of Canada. He overcame the difficulty of having no cash with which to pay his faro by tramping to Southampton and stowing away on n liner.

How he crossed the Atlantic without money, eating with the passengers, walking the decks with them, playing cards with them, and then, at night,

creeping into a secret blanket locker to sleep, reads like a thriller. On the other side of the picture, he offers appalling revelations of the arrange. ments made, during the past twenty years, for dealing with the nation's destilute..

alike meant nothing in her sweet Life. She was "anti" all of them.

She is the heroine of Mr. Whita's new novel, in which slie symbolises something of a generation.

Hers is "a memorandum of a com- man lot." and it is just as well that it is not the story of the majority, other- wise the work of the Buffragettes would have been in vain.

Yet there are, undoubtedly, Vivion Caladines in every village, town and city to-day-girls and grown-up women who, as the author says, dlls- cover no bond of sympathy with their age and their civilisation.

And, in weaving tho love affairs of an ordinary woman through pre-War, War and post-War years, against a background of political ideas, he under- look a dificult task,
