Recent well-publicized efforts to interest more young people in teaching careers seem to have met with some success, according to officials of Illinois State Normal University. This co-educational school admits only students who are preparing to make a career of teaching. Increased interest is being shown in elementary work with many of tbe2,050 students enrolled indicating a leaning in that direction.

A Chronic Sinus Infection

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. 0. CHRONIC infection of the sinuses, which are air chambers in the bones of the face, and connected ■with the nose, is. a common disorder and one which is difficult to deal with. Matters are even worse if the victim of sinus infection is also alergic, that is, over-sensitive to certain substances which are harm less to the great majorty. In these cases, the infection in the sinuses or sinusitis seema to make the al-; iergy a great deai worse. In some instances, it may actually cause alergic disorders to appear which were not present before. Not Due To Hay Feypr Sinusitis is not a cause of hay fever, which is an allergic condition due, usually, to sensitivity to ragweed pollen, but It may be a factor in influencing the results of treatment. It has been noted that if the sinus condition gets worse during the hay fever condition, it will quite possibly tend to make the hay fever more severe. Operative treatment of the sinus infection during the hay fever season usually should not be carried out. However, it is possible to wash out the infected sinus with some antiseptic: solution, and this, often may cause the hay fever symptoms to clear up rapidly. After the hay fever season is over, any surgical treatment necessary may be performed. A Related Condition A condition related to bay te-er i is an vasomotor rhinitis

most colorful public figures that ever walked the stage. He was respected for his sincerity and honesty, which are tributes sufficient sor r a man who gave most of his years to public service. o-— —a Now, Henry Morgenthau. Jr., who served as secretary of the treasury in the Roosevelt cabinet and handled more finances than all the former secretaries combined, has issued his memoirs. Advance press releases of the serial which, will appear in a popular magazine, tell of Morgenthau’s dislike for Henry Wallace, former secretary of agriculture. The story is highlighted with personal references and quotations and makes good reading, even though such articles will not become historic in nature. In this country, authors seem bent on debunking the other fellow and Americans lick it up in typical style. o o Factories in this country should run full-tilt for a number of years supplying the needs of our own people, but it should not be overlooked that exports over the past half dozen years contributed heavily to our prosperity. During the past few years exports averaged - 16 billions a year. Our imports were less than six billions, leaving a credit on the ledger of ten billions. That is one reason why we have most of the world's gold buried at Fort Knox. When exports decline to nothing, because of the lack of purchasing power, the drop will be felt in this country. o o A New Ploh ' ' A New Jersey constitutional convention has included in its draft of a new constitution two provisions which other states should seriously consider. One relates to appropriation bills, which in many states and the federal government, the chief executive has to take or leave. If he signs them, he may be sanctioning a lot of wasteful enterprises. If he vetoes them, he may stop the entire business of a government department. By the New Jersey plan the governor may veto single items, and may also reduce any particular appropriation which he thinks boo large. The legislature retains its right of re-passing the objectionable item over the veto. It often happens also that a worthy bill contains some technical defects which could easily be remedied. The New Jersey governor will henceforth have power to propose amendments to cure these faulty provisions; these amendments may then be adopted by a simple majority vote of the legislature. Much delay in passing good laws will thus be avoided.

In vasomotor rhinitis, there is a nasal discharge, but it usually occurs the year ’round instead of during just the one special season. Patients with this condition may be sensitive to foods, dust or pollen. Sinus infection may be a primary cause of vasomotor rhinitis, or it may just be a factor which tends to make the condition more severe. Benadryl is a helpful drug in treat- ' ing vasomotor rhinitis. It Is possible that the patient may become sensitive to toxins or poisons formed by the germs in the sinus. Again, in this disorder, during the active stage of the rhinitis, medical treatment such as the giving of vaccines and washing of the sinuses may first be carried out. However, in many instances, some surgical treatment of the sinus may also be required. Another Disorder Another allergic disorder is known as urticaria or hives. Sinus infection may be a cause of urticaria. In most of these instances, operative treatment is also necessary to clear up the sinus infection and bring relief from the allergic disorder. It would appear important in those with tendencies to allergy such as hives, asthma, eczema, hay fever, and vasomotor rhinitis, that careful study of the sinuses should not be neglected, since sinusitis may be the chief source of their trouble. Proper treatment of the. sinus infection may result is the 'Jes.r’Ej u» of the sllergy of, at «iy rate a real impeoveaeat

CHAPTER FORTY-EIGHT AS HENRIETTA drove toward London, the two phrases echoed through Henrietta’s mind: What shall 1 do? Where shall I go? For the last few weeks she had been strung up, excited, never relaxing for a moment. She had had a task to perform —a task laid on her by John. But now that that was over—had she failed —or succeeded? One could look at it either way. . . . But however one looked at it, the task was over. And she experienced the terrible weariness of the reaction. Her mind went back to the words she had spoken to Edward that night on the terrace —the night of John’s death—the night when she had gone alone to the pool and into the pavilion and had deliberately, by the light of a match, drawn Ygdrasil upon the iron table. Purposeful, planning—not yet able to sit down and mourn —mourn for her dead. “I should tike,” she had said to Edward, “to grieve for John.” But she had not dared to relax then—not dared to let sorrow take command over her. But now she could grieve. . . . Now she had all the time there was. She said under her breath, “John , . . John.” Bitterness and black rebellion broke over her. She thought, I wish I’d drunk that cup of tea. Driving the car soothed her, gave her strength for the moment. But soon she would be in London. Soon she would put the car in the garage and go along to the empty studio, . . . Empty since John would never sit there again bullying her, being angry with her, loving her more than he wanted to Ibve her, telling her eagerly about Ridgeway’s disease—about his triumphs and despairs, about Mrs. Crabtree and St Christopher’s. And suddenly, with a lifting of the dark pall that lay over her mind, she said aloud: *‘Of course. That’s where I will jo. To. SL Christopher’s.” • • • Lying in her narrow hospital bed, old Mrs. Crabtree peered up at her visitor out of rheumy twinkling eyes. She was exactly as John had described her, and Henrietta felt a sudden warmth, a lifting of the spirit. This was real —this would last! Here, for a little space, she had found John again. “The pore doctor. Orful, ain’t it ?” Mrs. Crabtree was saying. There was relish in her voice as well as regret, for Mrs. Crabtree loved life; and sudden deaths, particularly murders or deaths in childbed, were the richest parts of the tapestry of life. “Getting ’imself bumped off like that! Turned my stomach right over, it did, when I 'eard. I read all about it in the papers. Sister let me ’ave all she could get 'old of—reely nice about it, she was. There was pictures and everythink. . , . That swimming pool, and all. ,’ls wife leaving the inquest, pore thing, and that Lady Angkatell what the swimming pool belonged to! Lots of pictures. Real mystery the ’ole thing, weren’t it?” Henrietta was not repelled by her ghoulish enjoyment. She liketj it because she kr.euj that Jotci ! huntatt. would liked if; If. £*. had to die o» woyjd

"They don’t ’ave 'angings in public like they used to once —more’s the pity. I’ve always thought I’d like to go to an 'anging. . . . And I’d go double quick, if you understand me, to see 'ooever killed the doctor 'anged! Real wicked, 'e must ’ave been. Why, the doctor was one in a thousand! Ever so clever, 'e was! And a nice way with ’im! Got you laughing whether you wanted to or not. The things 'e used to say sometimes!

And ’is patients! Always felt you were going to get well when ’eld been along.” “So you are going to get well,” said Henrietta. The little shrewd eyes clouded for a moment. “Pm not so sure about that, ducky. I’ve got that mealy-mouthed young fellow with the spectacles now. Quite different to Dr. Christow. Never a laugh! 'E was a one, Dr. Christow was—always up to ’is jokes! Given me some norful times, ’e ’as, with this treatment of ’is. 'I carn’t stand any more of it, doctor,’ I’d say to ’im and, ‘Yes, you can, Mrs. Crabtree,’ ‘e’d say to me. ‘You’re tough, you are. You can take it. Going to make medical 'istory, you and I are.’ And 'e’d jolly me along like. Do anythink for the doctor, I would 'ave! Expected a lot of you, ’e did, but you felt you couldn’t let ’im down, if you know what I mean.” “I know,” said Henrietta. The little sharp eyes peered at her. “Excuse me, dearie, you're not the doctor’s wife by any chance?” “No,” said Henrietta. “I’m just a friend.” “I see," said Mrs. Crabtree. Henrietta thought that she did see. “What made you come along, If you don’t mind me arsking?” “The doctor used to talk to me a tot about you—and about his new treatment. I wanted to see how you were.” “I’m slipping back—that’s what I’m doing.” Henrietta cried: “But you mustn’t slip back! j You’ve got to get well.” Mrs. Crabtree grinned. “I don’t want to peg out, don’t you think it!" “Well, fight then! Dr. Christow , said you were a fighter-" “Did ’• now?” Mrs. Crabtree lay still a minute, then she said slowly: “ 'Ooever shot 'im it’s a wicked shame! There aren't many of 'is . sort. . . .” We shall not see his like again ■ ... the words passed through Hen- ; rietta’s mind.

You’ve got to have the guts for two —you’ve got to make medical history by yourself—for him.” Mrs. Crabtree looked at her for a moment or two. “Sounds a bit grand! I'll do my best, ducky. Carn’t say more than that.” Henrietta got up and took her hand. “Goodby. I’ll come and see you again, if I may.” “Yes, do. It’ll do me good to talk about the doctor a bit.” The bawdy twinkle came into her eye again. “Proper man in every kind of way, Dr. Christow.” “Yes," said Henrietta. “He was." The old voman said: “Don’t fret, ducky—what’s gorn’s gorn. You can't ’ave it back." Mrs. Crabtree and Hercule Poirot, Henrietta thought, expressed the sam'e idea in different language.
