From the flivver days, this country seems to be reaching the sta-tion-wagon era. u —o According to George Gallop, the poll taker, 69% of the people canvassed expressed the opinion that government employes should not lie permitted to strike. The surprise is that it was nt 100%. 0 u It is predicted that five million Americans will get bright, new shiny automobiles during the year It will be interesting to learn how many are still spick and span and whole when 1948 Is ushered in. o o In another couple of weeks the major leagues will open the 1947 baseball season and right now the fans are trying to figure out which outfit will have the pitching, batting and fielding that will put them in the lead when the season closes about October Ist. It looks like an exciting and thrilling year for the great national sport of America. u o — Fort Harrison, long an institution in Indiana, has been declared surplus and the many buildings located there may be converted into apartments. It was established in 1903 and for many years the old tenth regiment was based there. Whatever happen* to it.

- 1 , Tough Cure for Skin Disorder • \

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. D. IF the old joke about the “cure being worse than the disease” is ever true, it is often true of ■cables. Scabies is a akin disorder produced by a tiny parasite. an active little beast which burrows under the skin and causes a great deal of itching. It is also an extremely hardy organism which can be destroyed only by drugs that are likely to be quite irritating to the ■kin. According to Dr. Waiter M. Libmann of New York, the ointments containing such imbalances as benzyl bensoate or sulfur are of this type. They do an excellent job of killing off the parasite, but when used too enthusiastically, too long, or more often than the doctor orders, they frequently lead to complications in the form of skin inflammation. Those complications may very often be responsible for symptoms which are almost as severe as the scabies Itself. Avoiding 6km Irritation in treating these skin complications he advised that the patient not be allowed to weaf wollen underwear or wollan shirts. The akin is not cleansed with soap and water, but alcohol I# awed instead. During the treatment of the dermatitis, the use of anbetance# for overcoming the scabies is stopped. Because of the intense itching and the tendency to ■cratch, the patient* fiager-Bails

ed to the search In recovering 1 the body of the Decatur woman, missing for past week. Under the leadership of Sheriff Herman Bowman, the searching party has been aided by state police, experienced rescuers from other towns and scores of local volunteers, who have given unselfishly of their time and energy to the task assigned. o—o In the list of 168 unsafe mines' prepared by J A. Krug secretary, of the interior, six are in Indiana [ They should and will be under his | order, closed until proper repairsj and improvements have been made. .Mining Is dangerous and disagreeable work and every pre caution must be taken to prevent repetition of the recent Centralia disaster. These steps it would seem should have been taken long ago and the public 1 S now awake to the necessity. Crowded out of Washington lor the past six years, the annual meet Ing of the U. 8. Chamber of Com-: men e will be in the nation’s capital again from April 28 to May 1. This thirty-fifth session promises to be the biggest ever, with leaders of business, commerce and government attending, as well as author!- ! ties on world politics and economics. A wide range of subjects is planned Including housing, the national debt. America's place in the world, national armament, taxes, labor-management problems, collective bargaining, the farm picture, transportation, education, natural resources and world trade. O—O I 1 Tax Collections Treasury agents recovered a billion and a half dollars in additional income taxes last year and expect I to raise this figure considerably; this year. Detailed scrutiny of re ‘ turns begins at the |7.m)o level and increases in intensity until all incomes of 625,<mtf and over get thorough checking. Joseph D. Nutian, Jr.. Commissioner of In tenia! Revenue, is making good on his promise to Congress that fori every dollar spent on < hocking. I-’" would be recovered in additional I returns. The treasury department has; learned where to look tor leaks, as. in cash transactions, lavish spend | Ing by people of obviously modest salaries, padded expense accounts. The department has let it be known that it Is putting returns through a fine sieve. As a result 160,060 persons voluntarily came across with additional payments that amounted to two hundred million last year. More are expected to do so this year.

are cut short, and he is urged to keep his finger-nails dean by scrubbing them at least once every i day with soap, employing a nail | brush. If there is a great deal of Itching present, an ointment of boric acid, lanolin and glycerin is used. One form of dermatitis which may develop during the course of treatment of scabies is called' eczematous dermatitis. In treating this condition, wet dressings I of aluminum subacetate have been . found quite effective according to. Dr. Libmann. This is used for about two days. After this time, he found that ultraviolet ray treatments were quite valuable, and then a mild ointment, such us the one mentioned above may be employed. Rash Like Impetigo Another rash which may occur during the course of the treatment is one which is like impetigo. Blisters form which break open and result in scabs. Wet dressings of penicillin usually will dear up this condition within tbfrty-slx hours. if boils develop, an ointment of one of the sulfonamide preparations. such as sulfadiazine or ammoniated mercury ointment may be employed. Some of the’'boils may have to be cut open and the infected material drained out. if the patient's resistance appears to be lowered, it may be advisable to give one of the sulfonamide preparations by mouth or to give injections of pesklllm into • muscle

CHAPTER ONE 1 THE DaY was dufl and cold. 1 with a threat of snow in the air, 1 and there was already a wrinkled grav blanket of snow and frozen ' slush underfoot A fierce wind j swooped down Michigan Avenue between rows of tall buildings, making pedestrians clutch their coats about them and hunch their ■ heads, turtle-wise, into upturned collars. But the girt who alighted from a bus at a northside corner didn't clutch her tailored brown coat about her, or huddle into its collar, either. She walked fast and free around the comer and eastward, quiet expectancy lighting her young face beneath a squarely set brown beret. There was wisdom in her choice of color, since she herself was a subtle blend of autumn shades. Russet-gold hair in a long bob was wind swept now Into a riotous, yet becoming disorder. Hazel eyes shaded from green to golden amber under widespaced brows. Her skin was a warm, glowing tan. She turned into the recessed entry of an impressive apartment building, struggled with the wind I a moment for possession of the heavy door and entered. The lobby I was warm and spacious and the i girl's heels made a brittle sound ■ on the marble floor as she crossed I to the elevators with the directness of complete familiarity. She addressed the wizened old operator a shade anxiously as she , stepped Into the car. “Helio, Dan. j Is my mother home yet?" The man shook his head. “Don't believe so, Miss Sherry. But your sister went up a while ago.** “Well, that's something.” Sherry Kent frowned a little as the car lifted. “It's after two o'clock, though. Wc'U never make the early train." “Goin* to the country?" the old man asked with inoffensive interest. “That farm place you like so well?” Sherry nodded. "Yes, for the weekend." Anticipation welled up anew In her, thinking of Steve Jeffrey's farm. AU morning long, while she trailed from one small exclusive shop to another with Angie Pemberton on one of Angie's Interminable shopping forays and afterwards during lunch at the Buttery, the prospect of the weekend ahead had figured largely and pleasantly tn Sherry's thought;. Angle had been funous over being hurried so. And now to get home and find that her mother was late— Something Important, Sherry supposed, had come up at the store to delay her. Although Leda had been confident she could get away early this Saturday. And Steve would be driving

in to Brundage to meet them. Sherry bit ner Up m futile annoyance. “Have a good time." Old Dan's voice penetrated her absorption as he parted the elevator doors at her floor. "Thanks, I will" She gave him her wide, warm smile and the old man basked in its friendliness until she turned away. He watched her hurry off down the deeply carpeted hall, noting the fluid grace in the rhythm of her long, lovely legs, the easy carriage of her slim body. He thought: “Prettiest girt in the buildin*—yeah, an’ the nicest, too. Worth a dozen of that snooty sister of hern. Or their mother, either—her an’ her airs!" Sherry let herself into the small, perfectly appointed foyer of the apartment, with its fuchsia walls and bone-white accents. There was a bench upholstered In fuchsia-and-white striped satin, a scroll-framed mirror above a matching white console. "Sherry, is that you?" her sister's voice called. Sherry went through the arched doorway into the large, light living room, the wide picture-win-dow of which looked eastward toward the lake. It was a smart and beautiful room, all pale woods and subtle colors augmenting each other in the modem manner. Its only flaw was a certain decora to rcoldness that made it seem more a tasteful furniture display in a shop window than a background against which people moved and lived. And Valerie Kent, curled up honeleasly on the divan, might well have been a mannequin designed to augment such a display. She . made an arresting picture tn a coral Jersey robe that clung like another skin. Her feet were bare, the nails coral-lacquered. The pale , cloud of her ashen-blond hair was brushed back plain and s.'iining ' from her lovely, disdainful face. But Sherry was accustomed to her Meter's dramatie glamour. The • thing that bothered her was the obvious fact that Vai was just out i of the shower and lighting a cigi arette as clamly as though time i stood still, I “For heaven's sake!” Sherry ex- ■ claimed disgustedly. “Why aren't ■ you dressed? And where's Mother? ■ We ll never make the three-thirty , train." I Vai's eyes, amazingly dark In r contrast to the creamy pallor of I her skin, rested on her sister with . tolerant amusement. “Calm down, I pet. We have all the time in the ; world. We're not going." I Sherry, who had shrugged out . of her coat, stared at her cuter in I blank dismay. “Not going!” “That's right." Vai stretched I back gracefully as a cat and ea-

"Not any more it isn’t," Vai corrected calmly. “It all began to fall apart an hour ago. Wade phoned —l'm having dinner with him.” She smiled faintly. “You wouldn’t expect me to pass Wade up tor a weekend at Steve's stupid old place, would you?" “Hut Mother and I—" Sherry began, her candid young face bleak with disappointment “Mother," Vai broke In, "phoned from the store just a little while ago. She thinks the weather’s too foul to chase away out to Brundage—especially since it happens Roger Bedioe’s invited her to dinner. So, she simply phoned Steve and explained we couldn’t make it this weekend." "Darn it. 1 " Sherry said bitterly. “We haven't gone out to the farm in months! Something like this always comes up. 1 can't think when I’ve seen Steve. I've been looking forward all week—and now—" Absurdly, she felt like crying. Only, of course, she didn't crynot with Vai sitting there regarding her with that look of amused superiority. Sometimes Sherry came close to disliking her sister —and sometimes she felt dreadfully sorry for her. It was only necessary to remember how Vai had changed in the past year, to remind oneself that she didn't mind hurting others because she I had been so grievously hurt herself. Heartbreak wears many faces. Vai masked hers with arrogant detachment, while she ran pellmell i after pleasure. But all the time, i Sherry knew, she was wound up l Inside like a tight spring and dei spair walked with her. There was ' no calm within her, nor even the i beginnings of peace. She was j ! driven and harried by the past, by . . the memory of a laughing face un ’ der a shock of unruly blond hair . —Rick Colby's face. Rick, whose , epitaph was a War Department > telegram breaking the news that [ he was missing in action. Only . gaiety gave Vai momenta of forj get fulness. And there were so many other momenta, times when . she was moody and bitter, stingt ingly sarcastic—times when Sherry > heard her weeping to the night, or r woke to see her standing, still as a statue to the moonlight, staring , out the window at nothing. f “Thera’ll be other weekends," i Vai said casually. “You can get a date for tonight Joel Pemberton s is aiways moie than wining—" “I don't want a date with Joel." t Vai shrugged. "What you see , In that dull old place of Steve's anyway—" She left it at that and j reached out to turn on the radio, (To Be OoattMMd)
