Nosebleed, Sign of Many Ills

By Herman N. Bundesen, M.O. Nosebleeds may all seem alike to the average man. hu* to the doctor they can tell many different •toriea. At times, nosebleed may Indicate the presence of serious di MM. but fortunately, In nine ease* out of fen. noaeideed means only minor rupture of the delicate Mood vessels of the front part of the septum or cartilage which fo-.mK the partition between the two nasal chambers. Network of Vein In thia ares, there li a real network of veins which lie elnae to the surface and are normally distended with blood. Vudcrstandiug alight thing* such «■ soughing, anoexing. blowing the nose or even lending forward may be enough to cause one of the vessels to break open. Bleeding may be profust- and fixed to the surrounding cartilage continue for a long time even when break in the vein w barely visible. In Other parts of the liody, when a vein is injured. It tends to shrink latch and bury itself tn the surrounding tissues, which compress It and thus help to etou the bleedtag. Ih the septum, the veins are and thus cannot shrink when broken but remain open, thus permitMg a free flow of blood Mill a . felons clot Is formed and seals the Opehlng Picking Nose Picking the nose often results tn bleeding because this pert of the septum Is so easily injured. The fingernail break* tbe veins near tbe auriace of the lining membrana. Not only dues blood flew from the nose, but bleeding into U» lining membrane also occurs.

How can • legislature be male to do Ita duty? Throe Chicagoan* are trying to find out They have filed a brief with the I'nited States Hupremr Court, complaining that Illinois congressional districts have not been rearranged according to population since I (Ml. Normally this should be done after every census. Neglect has resulted in grossly uneven districts. Cook County, containing Chicago, ha* 51 percent of the population of Illinois, but only nine of the state's 25 district* Thia I* because the state's rural population controls the legislature, also by an unfair apporttonmenl. Downstate Illinois is over-rwpreaented in pro;u>rtiun to it* population. —o Atomic Control Two bills on atomic energy control. long burled In committee and now up for congressional consideration. deserve the deep attention

of the American voter. One. the May-Jnlinson bill, was drafted by the War lh-partmeiit and would place control In a part time commission dominated by the military. The other measure introduced by Senator McMahon of Connecticut would place control in a civil agency. The latter bill, amended to Include security feature* and representation of the military, tome* before the Home under Alabama's Representative Rp.-irkman The fact that the McMahon law Is endorsed by the I.s<w» scientists known as the Association of Atomic Scientists, and that the MayJohnson bill I* considered by them a prelude to another war. should Influence Congress to pass the McMahon measure These scientist* believe the McMahon measure assures both the safety of the I’nited States through it* international control feature*, and the peaceful development of atomlc energy. two provision* emphasized by these men as essential. fine thing sometimes forgotten is that the Constitution requires civilian control of military affairs. The commauder-in-ehief is the President, who I* a civilian. Congress hold* lhe "powers of purse and sword" without which war cannot be declared or waged. Consultation with military leader* is right, control by the military arm is in opposition to lhe principles on which the nation live*.

Secretion* in tbe nose dry and stick in this area and persons are tempted to remove the dried set rations with the finger and thus new hemorrhages begin. If the process continues, an ulcer or sore of the mucous membrane develops. Then, the underlying cartilage may be damaged and finally an opening all the way through the septum occurs. Bleeding Starts Thu*, when nosebleed starts, the first thing the doctor doe* Is to examine this portion of the nose. If the bleeding point is seen, he can put pressure on it with a cotton pack or a piece ot gauze, or the par k may be put Into tbe nose and then pressure put on the septum by squeezing the nostrils together from the outside It U suggested that the pack be left In on the bleeding side for about 21 hours. After the bleeding has slopped, tbe doctor may touch the bleeding area with chromic acid. This causes the blood to coagulate, or clot, and form a yellow scab. Thereafter, plain petrolatum is put into the nose three 'times a day for about a week. Naturally, it Wtmld never be safe to asauine that every nosebleed is due to thlse cause. It may mean something infinitely mere serious. Such diseases as leukumia, a dread blood dlscMo, tumors of ths nose Intention either In the nose or elsewhere in tbe ls»dy, can all be responsible. . So cin u foreign object in the nostril. A bit of wood, a pea. a marble, any of these and many others may irritate and cause bleedtag. From this It Is Clear that In every eaae. a uarelul search for the cause I* a necessary first step in successful treatment.

It wtU net be need if you prefer th* “ not be. „ The Japanese Discussion Editor Dally Democrat: Since the current topic for discussion in this column nceiils to be about onr missionary friend and lhe Japanese- people, may I toss In my “two-hlta” worth? I am at a disadvantage in not having heard the speech by the missionary and my Information concerning It tndst necessarily be from bits of comment on It by other*. It »oein» to me that too often In our observation* we have a tendency Io judge a whole nation or race by a few small Incident* or people that we have seen It reminds me of the old fable of the three blind men. examining an elephant for the flrst time and all getting different Impresalrms. Suppose we have seen one of our buddles brutally k-lled by one of these fellows, who at the time we would hot have called ‘‘won* of heaven." Does thl* mean that the Jap who killed him was noi a nice guy? Let us remember that thl* Jap may not have wanted to Im- there any worse than we did. Oui one thought in the field was to get the Job done and get beck home Put yourself In the Jap soldier's shoe®. Couldn't this have l»e«-i» his wish too

The point I ant try Ina to make here Is that we can't judge the customs, characteristics and intelligence of the Japanese people by the action of a Jap soldier In the field. Once he found himself there, he knew that It was golne to Im- his neck or one of ours and we smely have found out that he didn't miss many In-ts In trying to make It ours Many a Jap soldier today could sit down and tell his friends how he saw his buddy butchered by a Yank Are we a nice |>eopie? I also fail to see the connection between the attack on Peart Harbor undjudglng whether the average Jap tea "nice" person We can’t judge all Japanese people by the militarltsic clique that httu control of how they would start the wor or even whether they would have war. for that matter. Once they decided to fight, they knew they would need every advantage they could get and In their estimation. a stab In the back was cer talnly a military advantage. Could It be that the average Jap citizen was a bit shocked at such a maneuver or did he even know the facts? We found that the Jap soldier tn the field was not informed about what was going on lit other theaters of operations. In the dlariks and unmailed let ters that were found on dead Japs, it was apparent that they thought they were winning right down to the end. Many of them were under the Impression that the Japs had captured Peatl Harbor, etc. it is evident that a thorough Job of home propaganda was being carried on. This is pretty convincing evidence that the Individual Jap soldier was a victim of circumstance* and that in order to find the root of the evil we had betted look elsewhere. The actions of the Japs after Pearl Harbor were governed strictly from a military point of view. Their object was to win and they ha«| few scruples as to how it would lie done. It wasn't necessarily "artistic" for them to know where all our ships were at Pearl Harbor. This was purely a military advantage to have this Information, and they had It Please don't misunderstand me. We founqd out early in the game, she tactics the Jap soldier was trained to use and when I found myself on the way to the Pacific theater of operations. I made up my own mind that If the occasion ever arose where I had direct

War Is a grim desperate business and you pla yfor keep* Me must try to clear our mind* of these hatred* that have been burned so deeply In some cases liecatise of having taken part In a apeelEc action that no man should ever have bwti asked to do. We must have confldencr In the Ideal of world peace and a world organization to preserve it.

Jenny ignored the first questiM: and replied to the second, “He had a call," she Mid. Gram observed that she was looking young and tired, her bright cotton frock a little crumpled, and her red hair out of control, her lipstick smudged. She asked, “Have «><>ugh to eat?' "Too much. It was wonderful." Butch came down the stairs. She looked sleeker and fatter th«e days. But she had not given up hunting for her kittens. All but one had been given away. Butch had asked. "What’s the use of having kittens year after year and not being around to see at least one of them grow up? It’s silly. 1 do all the work and sOmeone else has the benefit.” To which Jenny had replied with another question. "Why keep on having them then, darling?" Butch, affronted, had replied, "But that is categorical: ’ This was a.e sort of conversation Butch and Jenny had held for yean. Long ago. when Butch was a kitten, she used to report to Steve who had affectionately opined tha' she was as crazy as a hoot owl.

She had therefore Insisted that Butch keep one kitten, a male, striped and raffish, with a crazy little tail. She had named him Uncle Rafe after the extraordinary hillbilly baby created by Paul Webb. “Where'S Unde Rafe?" asked Jenny. Butch spoke purringly.
