A Social Handicap From a Physical 111

By Herman N. Bundeaen. M. O FOR eom<* peojde excessive perspiration in not only a nuisance but a real social and economic handicap. In these caeca, westlag. particularly under the armpit*. la very profuse and there la likely to be an offensive odor. Thia condition la known aa hromidrosis. Various preparations can be used to check sweating. but ill these severe cases each treatment gives but slight relief and even that la only temporary. X-ray treatment has been attempted but this does not always work either. Gland Operations Hr. Keith Kahn of New York City, has treated a number of patients with thia condition by means of an operation in which the glands in the armpit, which secrete the sweat, are removed. Before doing the operation be givey the pa I tient a dose of potassium iodide. Then the armpit is dusted with starch In from five to fifteen minutes iodine appears In the perspiration and when this combines with the starch. It makes a blue color. This dark colored area on the skin is then outlined with some dye or stain. Area Varies It is interesting that this area varies In people among the two sexes. In men, the area Is inclined to be obiong. and In woman oval in shape. The more limited the area, the greater Is the chance for relief by means of the operation. If the area is too large, complete removal of the glands is not possible. Great cars must k uk»« I* Wtvrmiag this operation because it

It was his sincereity and devotion to tlu- cause that presaged the success of every Christmas weal campaign, proceeds from which were expended to as--Ist those afflicted with tuberculosis. To him. the community is grateful for the performance of a duty well done. To hix successor j atfd the new board of directors, we i express confidence in their leadership. mindful that the Association will continue to function as a helpful agency.

too much is removed, a >scar may form which will limit the movement of the arm Further more, following removal of the tissue, a sldn graft must be done to prevent deformity. Hence. It is only the most active glands which arc removed at the time of operation In carrying out the operation, the hairy rngion of the armpits is ebavod. and antiseptics such as iodine and alcohol are applied. After tbs operation, the wound is covered with gauze soaked in 70 percent alcohol and then a dry dressing applied which is held In place by adhesive tape. Dressing Changes On the fourth or fifth day. the dressing Is changed for the first time, and then every other day until healing is complete. Healing in this region of the skin Is usually slow. . Following operation, X-ray treatments may lie employed. but they should be mild and carried out by an expert, so as to avoid any danger of X-ray burns. Os course, such radical treatment would appear advisable only in the most severe cases of bromidrosis. .Milder cases can be mote eatlsfactorlly treated In simpler ways. Quast ions and Answers 0.

CHA ITER TWENTY-NINE FRIDAY WAS clear and sunny and crisp—an ideal day for our drive to Elmpoint. Inspector Barry had managed to get one of the big city limousines and we fairly flew through the traffic, grandly flouting all elop and go signal*, chauffeured by a uniformed policeman and further protected by Mullins—in mufti. I don’t know why; while we were •till in the eity I remained tensely jpright Once we were out on the Parkway I relaxed gratefully against the cushions between the .nspector and Tonio Valente, and gave myself up to the wonderful sensation of actually being at peace and safe after a week full of horrods. The feeling of release seemed to be general. I’d never seen Inspector Barry so jovial before, or so expansive. Wo didn’t have tn plague him with questions at all. Ha told us unasked what the police had found □ut about the poisoned cavier. Explaining bls willingness to talk with the statement: "All ths papers'll have it tonight, so you may as well hear it now.” It seemed the police Inquiry had followed the murderer's path backward, starting at the Maison Gourmet. On Wednesday, right after the opening of the store, a rather nasal masculine voice had ordered a pound of their finest caviar over the phone, to be packed aa a bon voyage gift. The name ha had given waa “Paul Woodforda.” A short while later a Western Union meslenger had arrived with the correct amount in a sealed envelope, and the carefully wrapped package had been delivered to him after the usual fcrmalitlM of signing and countersigning ths vouchers—of the store and of Western Union. “He called himself 'Paul Woodfords’ V I gasped. “He did. And not only at the Maison Gourmet," the inspector continued. “He registered under the name at the Commodore late Tuesday night Ws traced him there through the messenger service." “Caa you do that?" Tonio marveled. “Sure. If you have the vouchers." Inspector Barry told him. "All we had to do waa ask. The call for the boy had come from the Commodore, and it wasn't much trouble to And out from what room. Besides, we got a pretty good description of •»aul Woodfords' that way.” i "How dess ho knkf Who |g bar * 1 blurted out eagerly. - L *JB Ji .X > .w-JL*..* J

Train Crash Could Have Been Avoided Test Runs Mode At Scene Os Disaster Naperville, 111., Muy 3 tt'Pl— Thw Burlington taiiroad said today that texts made with u counter- 1 |Hirt of the a*|N>sltion flyer which crashed into the rear of another : train last Thursday Indicated the cullixion could have been avoided. The road ccmducted live test runs yesterday which, it said, proved that W’. W.

Blaine, under indictment on a manslaughter charge, maintained from hl* hospital bed after thu accident that he- began applying | the- brakes when he saw the yellow light and wax still one mile and a quarter away from the |M>int of the accident. The test train, a s|>ec ial I tic-sal model, duplicated in speed, weight and length the- train which rammed into the road's advance flyer, killing 45 |terson*.

The first four run* were conducti cd at speeds carying from M to 86 miles an hour -twice when the service brakes were applied 5.999 i feet away from the yellow signal and twice- when the locomotive wax directly under the caution light. In each case, the train was brought to a stop short of the red block signal On the final text, however, the brakes were not applied until the red light demanding an immediate halt came into view. The- train came to a stop 1,127 feet away , from thu signal and 393 feet be- | yond the point of collision. The train wax going fl* niilex an hour when the emergency ’brakes '' were applied —• o — Havana, after been ravaged by yellow fever for 159 years, was - cleared of this xc-oiirge in two mouths, due to the effort* of army medical officers.

The Inspector smiled ruefully. "I can’t tell you who ho is, but—how he looks. He's about six foot and stoops a little. Wears a gray suit, gray hat and horn-rimmed glasses. Has gray hair, a small pointed grey beard and a nasal voice. And—oh. I yea—ho is not left-handed." “Then he isn't Deane,” 1 said with a sigh of relief. “Not if he really looks that way,” , the inspector agreed. "But it’s obvt- , oualy a disguise. A simple one at i that A little powder in the hair, , a pair of window-pane glasses, ( false whiskers and a disguised I voice. It’s just as the real WoodI fords said: He could be any sixt footer. Kennard, or ws two here.” . He indicated Tonio and hisiself. “Or Berwick—or a doeen others.” > "But please, why did you say be • is not left-handed?" Tonio asked ■ interestedly, not in the least disturbed about his own Inclusion in i the Inspector's list of “poasibilii ties." I “Because he registered with his ■ left hand, as part of his disguise,” > Inspector Barry explained. "He I checked in around midnight, with I only one small bag. Paid for two days in advance, saying his apartI ment was being painted and the • smell was driving him out, and - gave his permanent address as the Uncoinsfleld. We have no report on • his movements Wednesday momI ing, beyond the telephone calls to i the Maison Gourmet, and for the I messenger boy. Then around three • he called for a messenger again and i gave him a package to be delivered I to the Century.” "But—wasn’t ths messenger surt prised to receive a package from I Paul Woodfords, to be delivered to i Paul Woodfords on a train ?’’ Tonio i asked reasonably. 1 The inspector shrugged. "Doesn’t f seem aa The boy—he was an old man, by the way—probably just - had been told to go to room such and so—Number 2943 in this case s —and never glanced at the address r on th* package or the scrawl on his - receipt No, up to now the murder- - eris plan has gone off without a i hitch." We sat for a few minutes digest- • ing the inspector’s story. But at last 1 said, just to break the si- • lence: "It’s remarkable how much b Hunt'has found out in one day.” • Inspector Barry looked surprised. - "Berwick? You don’t Imagine I j sent Berwick to do that kind of i, routine work?" f “Didn’t you ?" I asked stupidly. "No,” he assured me emphatical- • ly. “Berwick's strong point M ids bead, not bls feet.
