Petrolatum for "Sun-Dodgers"

By Herman N. Bundesen, M, D. H< re Is the go<sf news for sun dodgers, those men, women and \ 1 children with white sensitive skin, for whom an hour or ho In the Hummer sun has always meant a pain ful burn. This year they can a<t their share of summer spoils ami health-building doses of sunshine without turning lobster-red. It is good new*, too, for others who. though they may not burn so easily, still must spend long hours outside every day In the course of their work. The little miracle-worker in this , case Is called red veterinary petrol •turn because it was once used exclusively to treat a condition In horses known as "collar gall.'' He cent tests show that this simple, well known preparation, which may be purchased at any drug store, will protect against the danger of sunburn even during exposures of two hours or more Added Advantage . It has these added advantages, it does not nth off easily, is not greasy and even with constant use It has not been found Irritating to the skin. * In testing this preparation, ft Wil. put on the skin in a thin layer i and the skin was then exposed lo|

Sometime ago Governor Gates criticism! the practice of state governments going to Washington "with a tin cup." looking for a handamt of federal funds. Now. a state organization named to conduct a study on local government, says that "Ixwal government Is growing so accustomed to coming to Indianatmlls with a tin cup for revenue that It is losing Its prestige." Both contentions are correct. for state governments have taken away hwal powers as well as the federal government has Invaded elate control. _ o () Decatur and community welcomes the return of the two passenger trains on the Pennsylvania rail road, which were discontinued by government order last month in tin- effort to save coal, pending outcome of the strike. These trains serve many express shippers, held- carry th- mulls for north and -oi-th |Hilnts. The chamber of Commerce. through Paul McFaul, secretary. aided in getting word to the railroad high-ups that this community desired to have t*ie trains restored to regular service. Thanks to those who helped, not overlooking William Harber, local agent, who cooperated in relaying requests for restoration of schedules. - O <> — With the Senate passage of the 101 lto reorganize Congress on mon- efficient lines, citizens of the rountry felt optimistic that at last H»me of the sumbersonie and exhausting red tape ill Washington would be reducer). Hui a word of caution is necessary. The bill has

yet to be passed by the House, and while many representatives, probaldy most, favor the reform, certain House leader*, appear to lack 1 interest in It. The legislation must come before the Huie.* Committee, I which often has merely quashed bills not approved, without permit- , line them to come before the body . for debate. This committee is an | example of what is wrong with preseut congressional machinery. O 0 Vance McCormick, who died recent ly. was a high-minded newspaper owner who became a reform , mayor of Harrisburg, Pa., and a I candidate for governor. The high point in lii* career came 3<> years ago when he managed President Wilson’s campaign for a second term. Mo t of the predictions were for Wil on’s defeat. The Progressive bolt of 1912 had ended with the return of most of that party to the ilepublicans. That left Wilson in the minority by 1,200,000 votes. The party organization was disI pirited under the direction of Will--1 lam F. M<'Combs. a defeatist who resented Wilson’s failure to name him to the cabinet. McCormick took hold and brought a different atmosphere with him. While the \ campaign record was made by the • President, every irniitician knows that an amateur blunderer in j charge of the details can ruin everything. .McCormick was not a j professional manager, hut he coni ducted the 191*5 fight like one.

a flow of ultra violet rays equal In strength to «0 times the most in tense sunlight. One minute of exposure was ••<|ttal to two hours of midsummer sunshine, yet no burn* occurred even after exposure of the skin for twenty minutes. On -kin not cow-red with the ointment. exposure to the ultraviolet rays for ten seconds wan sufficient to produce evidences of sunburn. Stimulating Body Sunshine seems to have some effect in stimulating all the activities of the body. In addition, when the ultraviolet rays of this light fall on the bare skin, vitamin l> is formed from the substance in the skin known hh ergosterol. Hut healthful as It Is, sunshine is powerful, primal stuff, and too much of it can be as bad as too little. Those addicted to ibathlng should remember this. They should also learn the rules of this popular pastime, a few minutes exposure to sunlight to begin with and then gradually Increasing doses until an even tanning of the skin results. Never forget that while moderate exposure to sunlight is beneficial. over-exposure will not only produce burning, but may also be responsible for certain types of really dangerous skin growths.

It 1s to avoid both of those possibilities, he said, that the If. 8. is doing everything possible to help bring about a political settlement between the nationalists and communists, to create a unified. non political army, and to keep communication lines formerly held by the Japs open until a central government can assume responsibility. The United States has no desire to stay there any longer than it is necessary to accomplish that. Acheson said. He said bluntly that the only reason U. 8. marines were in China was to disarm and evacuate the Japanese and maintain order in the areas held by the Japanese until a central government Is functioning. Acheson conceded that China vas a long way from l>elng able to pick up where she was In 1931 when Japan Invaded Manchuria. He indicated it might he a long time before she has reached that point and U. S. marines can lie withdrawn.

Il was the first Indication of the calculation of the possible time limit of the campaign. Just before I<> am, the British commander here. Gen.

Her eyes opened wide.lf Her hands pushed, thumped his chest. h He caught her wrists, gripped I them tightly. 1 1 She struggled, cried: “Stop." It He let go her hands.

"I'vs already eaten but i d be glad to go in with you, 1 Have you as my guest" "I've got money. 1 juat am not i hungry.” It sounded ungracious, I he knew, but even the best of them couldn’t get over the notion that a serviceman always expected a handout Dr. Peck cleared his throat as though ho had read Corbett's thoughts. “But you’ll be hungry. iThere's a long night ahead. Do 1 see a cart up there by the coaches! They sell some food, I belle.*. Sandwiches, Milk. Fruit How about it!" “Pm not hungry," he repeated. He moved toward the train.
