A Little-Known Skin Rash

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. D. Certain skin rashes occur not because of any actual disorder of the skin itself but because of allergy or oversensitivity. Perhaps the most common example isliives, recognized by all as the penalty certain people must pay for eating foods to which they are allergic. Less weifcknown is a rash called erythema nodosum, which is caused by oversensitivity to the poisons formed by some germs. This rash is accompanied by fever and swelling of the joints. Erythema nodosum seems to occur especially in connection with tuberculosis and diseases caused by streptoccal and meningococcal .germs. However, it may also develop from the use of certain drugs. Sulfathiazole, gold, arsenic and bismuth may all produce it in people who are oversensitive to them. In some cases, the cause for the condition cannot be determined. It was thought at one time that the disorder might possibly be related to rheumatic fever, but more recent studies indicate that the two conditions are rarely, if ever related. The- disorder is most common in those between the ages of 3 and 35 years. It is also more frequent in women than in men. It also seems to develop more commonly in the spring or autumn than in other seasons and why this is so we do not know. Iu the beginning of erythema nodosum there is usually a feeling

The Ohio senator wants the and will play the game of politics wherever he goes. His western senatorial trtfbds may lira-up the convention delegates for him, much to the chagrin of Dewey, who has not i been overly popular tn the coast states. o o y No doubt 86-year oljl former Senator Watson would like to wind-up his days in congress, but It's doubtful if the younger candidates for the Tenth District Representative post will give the veteran politician a clear track. Governor Gates has ordered the special election to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Raymond Springer for November 4, which coincides with the date of the mayoral elections in the cities in the district. It -may be too early for the Republicans to figure on victory, since there is a good chance of the district going Democratic. There are a number of prospective candidates from each party for the congressional vacancy. o o Peace Buildings: The permanent buildings of the United Nations which will occupy , a six-block area in New York City have reached the preliminary plan _ < stage and have received wide acclaim from architects. Editors Hen- • ry Wright of the Architectural Forum and Kenneth K. Stoewell of 1 the Architectural Record have endorsed warmly the proposed designs. One of them commends their “full utilization and capitalization of a midtown location.” • These world capital edifices will be the creations of a group of architects from many countries. The co-ordination of so many different cultural backgrounds is no easy achievement in itself. When UN Secretary General Trygve Lie an-,’ nounced the completion and acceptance of the composite drawings, he must have felt a glow of prid» and gratitude that these material symbols of united nations were to be a reality. These are to be no ordinary buildings. It is conceivable that their designs, reflecting the latest in world architectural thought, will influence construction trends everywhere. If architects of many countries can agree on the headquarters for world peace, surely the various nationals who are to work in those houses should be able to pool their thinking likewise.

of fatigue, slight fever, aching, pains, loss of appetite and some- ' times sore throat. After a few days ' the rash appears on the legs, thighs and arms. It is made up of red or ’ purplish, tender lumps which are ' shiny in appearance. Each lump lasts for one or two weeks, and ’ then gradually fades. The rash, as a general rule, persists altogether for from two to six weeks. The condition may recur after it is apparently completely - cleared up. The swelling of the joints is not severe. Neither the redness nor the swelling is as bad as that which ocin rheumatic fever and pain is <mly slight. The knees, wrists, ankles, elbows, fingers, shoulders, toes and hips all may be involved. When the rash vicars up, the disturbance in the joints also disappears. When erythema nodosum develops, a careful study should be made to determine if possible what is producing it. If the cause can be found and eliminated, the disorder can be promptly cured. It may be necessary for the patient to stop taking some drug which is causing the condition. If the disorder is due to tuberculosis. of course, the tuberculosis must be treated in the usual way. In cases in which the cause cannot be found, it would appear that the use of penicillin would bring about a permanent cure by elimj| uating the infection which is re* sponsible S’

CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO t WHEN HENRIETTA had left h' n, Poirot sat on until he saw be- | low him Inspector Grange walk 1 past the pool with a resolute easy stride and take tne path on past < the pavilion. The inspector was walking in a i purposeful way. He must be going, therefore, either to Resthaven or to Dove- - cotes. Poirot wondered which. He got up and retraced his steps along the way he had come. If Inspector Grange was coming to see him, he was interested to hear what the inspector had to say. , But when he got back to Resthaven there was no sign of a visitor. Poirot looked thoughtfully up the lane in the direction of Dovecotes. Veronica Cray had not, he knew, gone back to London. He found his curiosity rising about Veronica Cray. The pale, shining fox furs, the heaped boxes of matches, that sudden imperfectly explained invasion on the Saturday night, and, finally, Henrietta Savernake’s revelations about John Christow and Veronica. It was, he thought, an interesting pattern. . . . Yes, that was how he saw it: a pattern. A design of intermingled emotions and the clash of personalities. A strange involved design, with dark threads of hate and desire running through it Had Gerda Christow shot her husband? Or was it not quite so Simple as that? He thought of his conversation with Henrietta and decided that it was not so simple. Henrietta had jumped to the conclusion that he suspected her of the murder, but actually he had not gone nearly as far as that in his mind. No further indeed than the belief that Henrietta knew something or was concealing something—which ? He shook his head, dissatisfied. The scene by the pool. A set scene. A stage scene. Staged by whom? Staged for whom ? *Thc answer to the second question was, he strongly suspected, Hercule Poirot. He had thought so at the time.?: s3ut he had thought then that it was an impertinence—a joke. And the answer to the first question ? He shook his head. He did not know. He had not the least idea. But he half closed his eyes and conjured them up—all of them—seeing them clearly in his mind’s eye. Sir Henry, upright, responsible, trusted administrator of Empire.

Any one who has just paid a hospital bill may doubt this statement; nevertheless, it is a well established fact. Most organizations of this type are on a nonprofit basis and have no owners in the sense that this word is used by private enterprises. They are usually managed through a trusteeship and are built to afford services that are vital to the public welfare. Many receive their initial capital as a gift, and donations are required annually to make up the deficit. Every patient, therefore has the original philanthropist to thank for absorbing part of his expenses. In any other business venture, the sales of the commodity will take into account the cost of the capital employed, but in hospitals, the money paid by the guest goes for current expenses. Hospital care is expensive and it is easy to understand why the undertaking is seldom lucrative. But few of us take into consideration what the same service would cost if duplicated by a well run hotel. Three meals are served in the room each day, with supplementary beverages in between. Trained nurses present on. each floor, can be sum-

and meaning, his or net own story. ; And somewhere in that interplay of characters and emotions lay the truth. To Hercule Poirot there was only one thing more fascinating than the study of human beings, and that was the pursuit of truth. He meant to know the truth of John Christow’s death. • • • "But of course, Inspector,” said Veronica. "I'm only too anxious to help you.” "Thank you, Miss Cray.” Veronica Cray was not, somehow, at all what the inspector had imagined. t He had been prepared for glamor, for artificiality, even possibly, for heroics. He would not have been at all surprised if she had put on an act of some kind. In fact, she was, be shrewdly suspected, putting on an act. But it was not the kind of act he had expected. There was no overdone feminine charm—glamor was not stressed. Instead, he felt that he was sitting opposite to an exceedingly good looking and expensively dressed woman who was also a good business woman. Veronica Cray, he thought, was no fooL "We just want a clear statement, Miss Cray. You came over to The Hollow on Saturday evening?” "Yes, I’d run out of matches. One forgets how important these things are in the country." “You went all the way to The Hollw? Why not to your next door neighbor, M. Poirot?” She smiled—a superb, confident camera smile. "I didn’t know who my next door neighbor was —otherwise I should have. I just thought he was some little foreigner and I thought, you know, he might become a bore —living so near.” Yes, thought Grange, quite ; plausible. She’d worked that one r out ready for the occasion. "You got your matches," he said. "And you recognized an old • friend in Dr. Christow, I under- , stand.” > She nodded. t "Poor John. Yes, I hadn’t seen - him for fifteen years.” "Really?” There was polite dist belief in the Inspector’s tone. "Really.” Her tone was firmly t assertive. "You were pleased to see him?” 1 “Very pleased. It’s always de- - lightful, don’t you think, Inspector, s to come across an old friend?” "It can be on some occasions.” Veronica Cray went on without , waiting for further questioning: “John saw me home.

Furthermore, supervisors and superintendents of nurses are on the pay roll. To give more efficient service, large laboratories are essential for X-rays and studies of the blood and tissues. As with any other building- overhead costs are tremendous. Management includes executives, accountants, cashiers, stenographers, 1 and admission clerks. There are also elevator boys, telephone operators, janitors, window washers, ' and cleaning women. The large amount of jkjuipment calls for purchasing agents; and the serving of meals means cooks, waitresses, and dietitians. As a rule, beds are provided for the indigent, from which no income is received. Moreover, many run an outpatient department to handle emergencies. When everything is added up, statistics show that hospitals have more workers than patients and institutions of any size generally run up to one and one-half employes for each bed. These expenses do not include physicians’ fees; internes receive board and room but are seldom paid. Hospitals are crowded today but originally they were built to maintain a year round occupancy of 80 percent. In this way rooms are always available for emergencies and catastrophes. Illnesses are seasonal and there must be beds Io 1 meet the peak demands at any time. This greater occupancy increases revenue but may be dangerous from the standpoint of the needs of the community. Hospitals have human beings as their only commodity. In reality, they are owned by the public and used by physicians as workshops. o • The total deer population of Wyoming is estimated at around 65,000. ■*’.

I suppose his wife, poor thing, was one of those dim, jealous wdmen — probably always making a fuss ) about his better looking lady patients.” "No,” said Grange. "She doesn’t really seem to have been that way." Veronica said quickly: "You mean—it was all underneath? Yes—yes, I can see that that would be far more dangerous.” "I see you think Mrs. Christow shot him, Miss Cray?” "I oughtn’t to have said that! One mustn’t comment—is that it—before a trial? I’m extremely sorry, Inspector. It was just that my maid told me she’d been found actually standing over the body with the revolver still in her hand. You know how in these quiet country places everything gets so exaggerated and servants do pass things on.” can be very useful sometimes, Miss Cray.” “Yes, I suppose you get a lot of your information that way.” Grange went on stolidly: "It’s a question, of course, of who had a motive— * He paused. Veronica said with a faint, rueful smile: "And e wife is always the first suspect? How cynical! But there’s usually what’s called Xhe other woman.’ I suppose SHE might be considered to have a motive, too.” "You think there was another woman in Dr. Christow’s life?" "Well —yes, I did rather imagine there might be. One just gets an impression, you know.” "Impressions can be very helpful sometimes,” said Grange. “I rather imagined—from what he said —that that Sculptress woman was, well, a very close friend. But I expect you know all about ; that already?” "We have to look into all these things, of course.” Inspector Grange’s voice was ' strictly non-committal, but he saw, without appearing to see, a quick, spiteful flash of satisfaction in t those large blue eyes.
