Conditions That May Cause Skin Trouble

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. D. PEOPLE who suffer with inflammation of the skin about the toes and. particvhrly. between the toe*, ere likely to jump to the conclusion that the trouble is due to ringworm or Tungus infection. According to lira. Fred D. Weidman and Frederic A. Glass of Philadelphia, however, fungus infection probably accounts for no more than one out of three such cases. Infection with germs, continued rubbings and sweating may all produce the same symptoms as ringworm infection. Since this is the case, there has been great difficulty not only in finding the cause of the disorder, hut in treatment, as no single drug or ointment will serve to get rid of all such conditions Many Patients Studied Hrs. Weidman and Glass made a study ot 117 men whose feet were affected in these ways with the aim of finding some form of treatment which might be used in all cases, regardless of the cause of the disorder, at least to relieve symptoms aud to prevent recurrence. Os the six preparations tried, one known es metacresy lace tat e seemed to be the most valuable Bpric acid in talc was also quite ustlul These preparations gp pgreutly cured the condition in about one out of six instances aud - * ' ■ / . \

Huge, standing armies, however. I are foreign to our traditions. How. | then, can we remain strong? ; One of the surest, most economiI cal ways to accomplish this Is i through a vigorous National : Guard, the looal, volunteer, civil-ian-soldier organization. Its newauthorized strength Is 682,000 men. more than double the prewar force. This is the American way. for always in American history it has been the civilian army which has borne the brunt of defending our ideals. This is the democratic way. for what can be more democratic than citizens volunteering a part of their spare-time that they may be trained to defend their homes, their state, their nation? The new National Guard is vital to all of us as a tone to be trained, equipped and ever ready for instant mobilization to supplement the regular army in time of threat. It commends itself for many other reasons. It is a stale and federal organ!- ’ zation. It functions at the call of the Governor as a protector of life and property, or at the call of the President in national emergencies. It has an outstanding record of service in times of Hood or other disasters, as well as in defense of the nation.

brought improvement in three out of four. Benzoic jcid and salicylic acid also brought improvement in three out of four canes but cured only one out of 2<Z. It can be seen that none ot these preparations was ideal. Vertain other facts were brought out by the study made by Drs. Weidman and Glass They found that the frequency of infection was not affected by wood en, cement or stone floors. The symptoms were almiit the same no matter what type of ringworm was producing the condition. And there was no difference in the effect of the preparations tried on the various kinds of ringworm. There appeared to Im* a great decrease In the number of infections iu persons over 50 years of age. The type of ringworm producing the difficulty was different iu the white patients and the negro ones. It would appear that therb is need for much further study to find some more satisfactory method of treating inflammation of the skin between the toes. Os course, when this ocndltlon occurs. a careful study is made by the physician to determine the cause of the difficulty. The treatment will vary to some estent with the source of the condition aud its extent Highly irritating preparations should be avoided since they will only tend to make the condition worse.

When Sherry learns that fa-da io dining with Koger Bedloe, r Irepresident of her Arm, and Vai with W ade t arrington, her current beau, she derides to go to Stere's even though he isn't eaperting her. Alighting from the train, she spies his station wagon parked nearby and climbs in to wait tor him. However, attractive lea Morell, who identiffes . himself as sieve's new hired man. takes the wheel, and Sherry, somewhat embarrassed, introduces herself. Meanwhile, in her olllre, feda. indulging in a bit of retrospection, recalls the early days of her marriage to Tom Kent. Against her judgment hr had resigned his office job and bought a farm out near Steve's place. CHATTER FOUR THE FOUR years on the farm were blurred in Leda's mind into a dull montage of drudgery, of bitter quarreling with Tom, of endhss boredom. Then Anally, her mounting dissatisfaction crystallized into determination. She tried to make Tom understand, tried to make clear to him that the decision she had reached wasn't for her sake alone, but for the children's present and future welfare. What lay ahead if they stayed on the farm except hard work, the ever prejudng need of money? "It isn't fair,” Leda had railed in the face of Tom's quiet stubbornness. "You haven't the right to do this to them—or to me! Ruining our lives—" Tom had argued, "Leda, you haven't tried to make a go of it. Almost from the start your mind's been made up we couldn't succeed. You've shut your eyes to all the beauty—the permanence—’’ '"I haven't,” Leda had denied hotly. "There isn’t any beauty—it's all just ugliness and drudgery and getting nowhere." She had gone into his arms then, to lay her cheek against his. to plea. "If we go back to the city, you can get a good job- I know it! I'll work, too, and help out as long as it's necessary. We can get someone to take care of Vai and Sherry. And I like working in an office, I like using my mind. Not not letting it go to rust, as I’ve been doing. Oh, Tom, we'd be so much happier all of us. We'd be so much better off. You've just got to Jx- reasonable, darling- give us a chance. We could get along sc much better in Chicago . , Torn had held out tor a time. But, in the end, he had been, if not convinced persuaded.

.Tom wasn't about, "I think you're | making a mistake, Leda. It's none I <>f my business, of course. But—- ' can’t you see Tom won’t be happy in the city?” "But be will, Steve,” Leda had argued. It seemed important to make her viewpoint clear to Steve I —he was the only friend out of that whole period of her life whose good opinion mattered in the least to her. She had gone on earnestly, "Don’t you see, this farm thing—it's a sort of fixation with Tom. He never really gave himself a chance to get established anywhere else. But he has a good mind. I know he can get a decent job in the city - make a success of his life. He has to give himself another chance —for his own sake as well aa the children's and mine. You do see, don't you?” Steve had looked down at her, his weathered face grave. After a moment he said, "There are other measuring-sticks for success than money. I still think you're wrong. But—time will tell. And you can always come back if you want to.” Well, they had moved to the city and Tom had secured a job. But it wasn't a very good job. so Leda hired a nursemaid for Vai, who was three, and Sherry, a baby of only a little more‘than a year. Then Leda went to work in the advertising department of Craven’s. Things would have worked out, Leda was sure of it, if Tom hadn t died of pneumonia the winter after their return to the city. There had followed years that hadn't been easy for a young widow with two children to support. Tom's small insurance had helped. And la>da proceeded to apply herself diligently to the job of getting ahead at Craven's. She took night courses at Northwestern. She played store politics with a natural diplomacy and skill she hadn't known she possessed. This flair, along with her undisputed ability, brought her out on top on those periodic shifts which so often take place in the inner workings of a big business enterprise such as Craven's. There were those of her associates who disliked and feared her. But there were others, among whom was Roger Bedloe. one of the store's vice-presidents, who held her in very high esteem. Now, as advertising manager, Leda Kent's position was comparatively secure. And her interest in her work had increased in proportion to its importance, so that she was immersed in her job, the brilliant executive, the successful career woman to her well-manicured finger tips. All in all, Leda thought, determinedly putting aside her unreasonable mood of melancholy, hers had been a good life, full and successful and satisfying. It was morbid to brood over the past, merely because i| was Tom's birthday and the day was bleak and dark. She had much to be thankful for, including two lovely daughters. At thought of Vai and Sherry, a little smile cupped Leda's lips. She was very proud of them, she loved them both dearly. All she had worked so hard for. all she had accomplished. really, had been for them. As she had told Tom iemg

ago, they deserved the best. And she had tried, to the limit of her ability, to give them every ad. vantage. Good schools, a substantial background, the right friends. Such things were so important, Leda felt. They more than compensated for the fact that she had had to devote most of her time and attention to her job. And sha had always been most careful about the servants in whose charge [ she left her daughters. That was evidenced by the way they had turned out. Vai and Sherry were attractive, charming girls, with whom any mother would be wholly satisfied. If, at times, she felt she didn't know them as well as she’d have liked, Leda brushed the notion aside as absurd. They were her daughters, weren't they, flesh of her flesh, extensions of her own personality? Os course she knew them—at least as well as any human being ever knew another. And they were completely devoted to her; they relied on her advice, her mature judgment, just as daughters should. A little qualm caught at Leda as she thought of how close, how very close, Vai had come to disaster two years ago. Only a wise mother would have been able to avert that. Vai had been determined to rush headlong into a wartime marriage. It had taken every bit of persuasiveness, of tact, of reasoning power Leda possessed, to hold Vai back. She had had to confide in her the heartbreak and disappointment of her own hasty marriage, to tell her more about her troubles with Tom than she had let either of her daughters know before. But, in the end, she had succeeded in persuading Vai to wait until after the war to marry Rick Colby. It had been such a tragedy he had to die, Leda reflected. But, since that was the way things worked out, how much better that V'i wasn't left a widow. Even though she had loved Rick, this way there were no scan time could not heal. i The little clock on Leda's desk arrested her attention. It was almost four. If she hadn't phoned Steve Jeffrey, she'd have been on her way to Brundage right now. Leda was glad she had begged off. The prospect of the evening ahead, with Roger Bedloe, appealed to her infinitely more than a winter weekend in the country. Sherry, she supposed, had been disappointed. I She was so fond of Steve, so absurdly interested in that farm of his. Such a dull old place, Leda J thought. But Steve was a dear. Oh, well, they could visit Steve any time. And Sherry would find some-' thing else to do. Leda pushed back her chair and got up. If she went home at once, she’d have time to dress leisurely,: perhaps take a little rest, before Roger came for her at seven. She donned her hat, a knowing black felt from Craven’s French Room, for which she hail paid an outtageous price. But Leda didn't care. The right hat was so important. She slipped into the soft, inky-black luxury of her Persian lamb coat and left her office with a quick, purposeful step. . '

CHA ITER FIVE GOING DOWN in the elevator and across the great colorful main floor toward the street. Leda felt a familiar sense of excitement and well-being rise in her. She knew it all so well, the movement and color of the Saturday crowd of choppers, the tasteful decorations along the broad center aisle, the sparkling showcases filled with entrancing wares, the salesgirls in their smart black dresses. And yet it was ever new and changing, like a manyfaceted jewel. Leda never tired of it. She was proud to be a part of such a great organization, an important cog in the machinery which helped it to operate smoothly. Her earlier mood of unreasonable depression was lost entirely in the sense of satisfaction just walking through the store always engen- | dered in her. By the time she swept through the revolving doors onto Wabash Avenue, she was her usual serene self again and all was well with her personal world. The apartment seemed unbearably empty to Vai after Sherry had gone. Even the radio had a differ- ' ent sound, flat and brittle, like an . echo of music heard from a distance. Then an announcer started to speak in a rich, persuasive voice and Vai reached out impatiently and stopped him in mid-flight. But the silence was even worse, pressing in on her like something tangible. Vai hated, above all things in the world, to be alone. Usually she managed to avoid it. But. somehow. it hadn't occurred to her that Sherry would go dashing off to the farm by herself And heaven knew when het mother would Im home It was far too early to start dress-

ling for her dinner date. Vai had | already showered and the rest of it wouldn’t take more than half an hour. To be alone and to have nothing at all to do—that was plain tonqent. Vai got up off the divan and rubbed out her cigarette in an ash tray. Her bare white feet sank into the thick softness of the beige rug. She went into the bedroom and sat down at the taffeta-skirted dressing table. Her face looked back at her from the mirror, pale without make-up, the lips delicately pink. > Rick used to love her mouth that way—nude, he called it. Rick used to say, "Nix on the lipstick till I've finished kissing you, baby--it gets in my way.” The mirror misted before Vai in a sudden rush of tears, but her mouth twisted mockingly. "What a fool you are,” she thought, "breaking your heart over a dead man. Rick's gone—all that part of your life is over. Forget ' . . . forget . . .” But it had started up again, the ! whole throbbing tide of memories , from which she couldn't escape exi cept in the company of others. Vai , crossed her arms, hugging her shoulders together, fingers pinching into soft flesh. She set her • teeth hard to still the trembling ■ of her lips. And such a wave of 1 bitterness and resentment against 1 her mother washed over her that she felt for a moment physically sick with it. If only she and Rick hadn't been persuaded to wait to marry. If 1 only they had held out against her ' mother’s advice, had gone ahead 1 with their plans before Rick waa ; sent away. Then there would have been something besides this awful emptiness that ached in her, this sense of being incomplete, unfulfilled. There would have been some ' tangible consummation of their love for each other -ahe might even have borne Rick's child, so ■ that some part of him might have ' gone on . . . Vai ran her fingers upward through her soft, fair hair, strain--1 ing it back from her temples, giv- ’ ing her face in the mirror a queer distorted look. Then, with sudden desperate resolution, she got up and started dressing, feverishly, like one driven. She'd go down to ' Susan Pyle's apartment—Susan 1 was usually home Saturday after- ' noons and there were always peo--1 pie there. An attractive young divorcee like Susan, with plenty of money and a gay circle of friends. 1 was seldom alone. Wade Carrington might even be there. It wax 1 through Susan that Vai had met Wade- and he was the best anti- ! dote for loneliness and haunting memories that she had yet discov- ’ ered. What a thoroughly unmoral person he was, Vai reflected-and how fascinating—and how bad for her . . .
