Phlebitis a Common Disorder

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. D. PHLEBITIS Is a hard word for a con;mon disorder, which often occurs after operations and childbirth. It simply means inflamma tion of a vein and refers especially to inflammation affecting the veins of the legs. Formerly, it was thought best to keep the patient in bed while Nature healed the inflammation. Since Nature works slowly, the time In bed was long and patients often had to miss more time from work than they could well afford A Satisfactory Method Now. Dr. Clark W. Day of Indi ana has devised what he believes Is a more satisfactory method of handling the disorder. Ry this treatment the patient is allowed to iw! up and about while pressure is applied to the inflamed area. According to Dr. Day, it not only has the advantage of permitting the patient to go about bis ordinary duties, but relieves pain immediately and cures the inflammation connletely. In carrying out the treatment, he uses two bandages, one made up of soft, moist medicated material which is applied directly to the leg. and an elastic bandage which is put on over the first one. The medication of the first bandage -protects the skin and thus prevents irritation and discomfort when the bondages are changed Furthermore, this method makes

mated that Mr. Ford'a personal fortune may reach seven hundred million dollars, which added to that left by his son Edsel, will run up close to a billion. And in these 1 days, if might be more than a t difficult job trying to handle such ■ a huge stack of blue chips. —o— —o The average American doesn't ■ care much for kings, but it can be said that King Christian of Denmark, who died this week, did not leave his country and people. j during the five years of German | occupation of his country. The aged monarch stayed on the job and was looked upon as a national hero. He was made a prisoner and through the underground system. opposed the Nasis. He has been succeeded by his 48 year old son. Crown Prince Frederik and the little kingdom lives on. O ——0 • I We don't know that it has to do with educational requirements, but the psychology class at thej University of Wisconsin has figured out that in a life span of seventy years, a person will spend five months tying his shoes, and three years “just waiting.” The greater share of his three score and ten years will be spent sleeping, working, estimated at twenty years each and seven years in pursuit of amusements. A man, spends five years shaving and dressing, and we guess there isn't anything he can do about that. o o— — Ireland is facing the worst famine and fuel shortage in many ■ years. Last fall excessive rains ; drenched the wheat and oat fields. all but ruining them. Then came the coldest winter in more than 50 years, and late spring with record-breaking floods, making the sowing of crops out of the question. Only 150,000 to 211.000 acres of wheat have been sown to date. The goal had been <50,000 to 70T,000. The black year of Irish history was the famine of 1847 when the potato crop failed. This began the vast Irish emigration to the United States, which continued for many years. o o It nothing else comes from the long harangues of UN delegates, at least vocabularies are to be enriched. The other day Sir Carl Berendsen of New Zealand accused the assemblage of trying to "burke” a proposal he had made. He was using a perfectly good English word, which means to smother or to suppress quietly. It comes from the practice indulged in by a notorious criminal. Wil Bam Burke, who murdered people by smothering them and sold their bodies for dissection purposes. Burke went to his death on an Edinburgh gallows in 1829, but he has won a sort of immortality by having his name incorporated in bis native tongue.

it unnecessary to shave the hair off the leg. The bandages can be put on with ease. The patient lies down on a flat surface. A piece of gause covered with petrolatum is wrapped over the ankle hones to protect them. Then the first bandage is applied loosely, starting at the toes and going up to the knee. Then the pressure bandage is put on in the same way. Bandaging the Thigh In bandaging the thigh the Itandage is started In the groin and then wrapped a'oiind the thigh toward the knee The knee is not bandaged except -when there is inflammation of the veins in this area and in cases of acute inflammation in which instances the whole leg is bandaged. When this is done the knee is protected with gauze covered with the petrolatum in the same way as for the ankh'. This treatment also may lie used in the case of ulcers of the skin which may occur because of varicose or dilated veins. The ulcer Is •first covered with a piece of gauze spread with some mild ointment such as cod-liver oil ointment and then the pressure bandage is put on. The bandages are changed as soon as they become loose, as a rule, twice a week. In order to get the best effect, the patient must avoid standing without moving and should walk at least three iaiies a toy.

CHAPTER FOURTEEN IT OCCURRED to Sherry, however, that she hadn't even told her mother about Lex Morell being at the farm. And so she said, quite casually, “There was someone else at Steve's, too. He’s working there, but he's really a friend of Steve’s.” She went on to explain just a little about Lex, enough and no more than was necessary. It wasn't that she didn’t want to confide in her mother. But the channels of communication between them had been blocked for so long that the effort of establishing contact seemed scarcely worth while. Besides, there was nothing to confide—or nothing that would have seemed important to Leda. “How nice for you, dear," Leda said when Sherry had finished. "Having someone younger there must have made it more fun. I should think you’d find it dull, just being with Steve and Aunt Pen." "It isn’t though," Sherry denied quickly. "It’s never dull. But Lex i is nice. I enjoyed meeting him." "Does ho intend working for Steve long?" Leda asked. "When does he plan to buy this place of his own you spoke of?” Sherry said, "I don’t know. It depends on so many things.” Leda Kent leaned back in her chair, her gaze thoughtful on her daughter's face. Sherry hoped she wasn't going to press her for further details about Lex. She knew the reluctance she felt to discuss him with her mother was unreasonable. Yet the reluctance was there. Sherry couldn’t justify it, she could only admit It in her own heart. Her liking for Lex was too new, too deep, to be forced into the clumsy medium of words. Leda spoke then, her tone oddly hesitant, and Sherry realized her mother hadn't been thinking about Lex at a!L "I—have some news for you—something I think will surprise you—" “What sort of news?" Sherry asked. "About Val," her mother said. "She told me this morning she and Wade Carrington are going to be married." Sherry could only sit there on the arm of her mother’s chair, staring at her blankly while the awful, the incredible statement penetrated her unwilling awareness. It was as though something shattered in her mind, some conception of her sister's basic integrity to which she had clung stubbornly debits the sometimes jarring evidence of Vai’s conduct Now Sherry's faith in her sister faltered. Her eyes, staring down into her mother’s, were wide with shock, her young mouth unsteady. "Wade Carrington?" Dully she repeated his name, "Vai’s—going to marry him?” Idtya i&mS btf I

on Sherry’s and found it icy cold. "Don't look so shocked.” “I am shocked. It’s—so dreadful. Val—and Wade Carrington—” She asked then, her direct gaze probing her mother’s, "Aren’t you shocked ?* Leda's dark eyes sustained the probing. "No—no, I’m not Sherry. Oh, he’s a good deal older than she, of course. And it's too bad he’s been married so many times. But Vai’s twenty-two — certainly old enough to know what she’s doing.” “You can say that" Sherry asked, her voice low, sick, “after talking her out of marrying Rick —when they loved each other so?" “But that was altogether different—can’t you see? Rick was ready to leave for war. What did he hava to offer Val in the way of security? With him—as things worked out—she would have had a few short weeks of marriage, nothing more. She would have been a widow now, perhaps with a child to provide for—" “And you think this marriage will be better?" There was hot young scorn in Sherry’s voice. "You know the sort of man Wade is—three times divorced, one of Susan Pyle’s numerous ex-lovers!” "Sherry!” her mother reproved. 'The Carringtons are a good family; Wade has money and a great deal of cliarm. He can do so much for Vai and he will; he's very generous. Besides, they must care tor each other, or they wouldn’t be planning to marry.” Sherry got to her feet slowly. She stood there, her arms locked tightly, as though she felt cold Presently she said, "But—Vat can't love him, not really, not as she loved Rick—or as she might be capable of loving someone else later on—" Her voice died unhappily Leda sighed. "You’re so young, dear—too young to realize there are many kinds ot love. This may be different from what she felt for Rick, yet no less real I feel Val will be happier, truly better off, married. She's been so lost since Rick’s death, so aimless, not caring what she does—” Sherry broke in. “But can’t you see. Mother, this is just a part of that recklessness, that crazy way she pursues pleasure and excitement. She’ll be marrying Wade in order to forget Rick—and that’s no basis for marriage." Leda passed one hand across her forehead in a weary gesture. “Perhaps not—but Vai’s mind is made up. And she's so bard lately, so unapproachable.” Sherry thought: That's because she's still bitter over the way you interfered In her affairs before. She doesn’t mean to let you do it again. Thinking that, she suddenly realized the inconsistency of her own

Study Revival Os Phone Negotiation Union Heads Warn Strikers 'Bitter' Washington. April 22.—(UP)— The government today studied plans for reviving key negotiations in the 16-day-old national telephone strike as union leaders warned that the strikers "are growing bitter.” Official sources said secretary of labor Lewis B. Schwellenbach was convinced his last peace proposal was dead and that he was "seriously considering” asking Southwestern Beil Telephone and The American Telephone A Telegraph company's long distance de partment to resume negotiations here under government sponsorship. Such a request wfmld mark Schwellenbach's second attempt for a pattern-setting agreement In those two key units of the Bell System. Meanwhile, an official of the striking National Federation of Telephone Workers said the picket violence and demonstrations yesterday In Detroit. Seattle and Louisville were “to be expected." “That sort of thing occurs in all large and long strikes.” he said. "The strikers are growing bitter and short tempered.” Twenty-four strikers were arrested in Detroit after a struggle between pickets and police. In Louisville, three young women strikers were arrested on disorderly conduct charges. And In Seattle, pickets blocked the doors to the main office of the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph Co., but were dispersed by police without violence. Strikers in Minneapolis agreed to let skeleton supervisory crews enter company offices after the Northwestern Telephone Co. had closed its main building in protest against mass picketing. In New Jersey, there was a note of optimism. Striking workers then* offered to bargain on a statewide basis—the first major breach of the NFTW's solid-front demand for nationwide bargaining. It was hoped a settlement in New Jersey might provide a pattern for a country wide agreement.

don’t like It—l don’t believe It can work out But, as you say, Vai's old enough to know what she’a doing. And I wouldn’t Interfere, or try to influence her—• Leda caught the implication behind her words. "Sherry that's not kind,” she accused. "1 know just what you mean. But In persuading Vai not to marry Rick, I only tried to do what was best for her. Surely it’s a mother’s responsibility to advise her children, to help them avoid making mistakes that may wreck their happiness. I know from my own experience how difficult a hasty marriage can be, how great the possibilities of heartbreak for a woman. I had to share that knowledge with Val, I felt it was my duty to warn her" Sherry’s lips twisted tn a wry smile, remembering the other side of her mother's marriage, her father’s side, so briefly but lucidly touched upon by Steve. But It was all too far In the past to bring up now, even If she bad felt like arguing with her mother, or hurting her. And she didn’t feel like IL She only felt tired. Sherry realized suddenly. Tired and depleted and unsure of everything, even herself. She laid her hand on her mother's shoulder In a conciliatory gesture. "I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to hurt you. I—just hope things work out for Val. She’s been so unhappy. If life gives her another run-around— * She left ft at that, stooped to kiss her mother’s eheek lightly. "Now I'm going to bed—l’m tired Sherry lay In the darkness, her eyes wide open. Tears ached In her throat, unshed tears for Val, for Rick as she remembered him, for the brief, bright glory that bad been their love. All over the world girls like Val had been left with only their memories of the men they had loved. And life must go on, adjustments must be made, everyone had the right to a second chance at happiness. But—had all those countless others changed Mke Val, grown harder, coarser some how? Val, as she used to be, couMr not have been drawn to such a man as Wade Carrington, wouldn’t have considered marrying him. Hie very thought of it mads Sherry feel a little stick. She wanted terribly to be asleep before Val came horns, but she wasn’t Val clicked on the dress-ing-table lamps and stood revealed in their soft glow, a lovely sophisticate, in a gray silk .jersey dinner dress, Grecian in its classic simplicity.
