A Doctor Turns Detective

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. D. AN allergic person is one who is. i sensitive to some substance which i is harmless to others. The offending substance can be almost anything—a food, which others eat with relish; a bit of pollen, un- ; noticed by the vast majority; the < feathers in a comfortable pillow; ; or even a drug which has saved the lives of millions. Any of these things and hun- i dreds of others can cause allergic persons untold discomfort In the i form of asthma, hay-fever, eczema, i or hives. When the doctor suspects that ■ tfie symptoms a person has are due to allergy, he must turn de- i tective in order to track down the substances that are causing the trouble. He must know about the . time of the attacks and where they occur. He will question the patient carefully about the foods he eats < and about the type of furnishings in the home. For example, if the attacks come in the kite spring or summer, they are likely to be due to some pollen. If the attacks come in the later summer and fall, ragweed is the probable culprit. If they occur the year round, it is possible they are due to some food. The person may be sensitive to house dust, or the dander from a dog, or to hair used i in stuffing furniture. ' l The physician has a weapon which aids him in his detective work of finding what is causing the trouble. This weapon is skin-test- i ing. this is carried out by injecting i into the skin a tiny amount of an Srox vgristas foods, pel- i leg aod du»ts. If yen are sensitive 1 to the guhstagce which is being J

structed Yo keys and take them to thf* station. There they may be plckea up on payment >. of the fine, and you can return to t your car, only to find that in the meantime a tag has been added for parking overtime. t O 0 IT More hams for less corn The E kind of pig that fills this kind of . order has juat been exhibited proudly by a Minnesota farmer at the International Livestock Show. The breed has achieved that new 5 look tor porkers, so much desired, . which is a long, lean silhouette ! with heavier hind quarters—hams to you. He has produced more meat per pound on the feed per pound than any other kind of hog. The American foreign aid program calls for increasing food supplies and for cutting down grain consumption. Right then along comes a farnter with a pig who does just that. It does seem as if the Ameri- , can farmer can do anything! o -Q Coach John Magnabosco of Ball State College maintained his high . reputation as a leader of men , character builder in his gridiron talk to members of the Yellow Jackets team, who were guests of the Rotary Club the other evening. The famed coach believes in the individual giving everything he has. if he wants to be a winner. He stressed Christian principles in the molding of youth, reminding athletes that they had to sacrifice if they wanted to get to the top. j Coach Magnabosco paid tribute to < the services of Bob Worthman and s I Deane Dorwin, who also are recog- | nized for their work in the athle- < tic and youth building programs ' in the local schools. o o 1 Mayor-elect Doan wants to add ' two policemen to the local force * and their services may be needed. ! With the city stretching out in all ' ; directions, it is possible that more . . men are needed to patrol the outlying districts. Traffic problems are increasing and it is likely that all towns may have to employ experienced traffic policemen to handle present and future situations in the congested areas. Funds do not exist for these additional policemen salaries, so before anyone can be hired, the council will be asked to provide the money. While citizens may agree that more policemen are required, water plant customers do not feel that they should be charged for employing an additional “superintendent,” merely for the sake of filling a political berth. The department is now combined with the city engii neer’s office and citizens seem sat- • isfied with the plan.

tested, a red swelling will usually develop within fifteen minutes at the point where the injection is made. If these skin tests show the doctor the substances to which you are sensitive, he must then figure out ways and means of keeping you out of contact with them. If you are sensitive to some particular food, of course the easiest answer is not to eat that food. If you are sensitive to feathers, some other type of pillow may be substituted for the feather pillow. Sometimes, however, a person is sensitive to substances with which he just cannot avoid contact. In such cases, it is possible to desensitize by giving injections of the offending substance in gradual, increasing doses. Unfortunately, many persons may not be benefited by this form of treatment. In such cases, new drugs such as benadryl and pyribenzamine, as well as drugs which have been used for a longer period of time such as ephedrine and epinephrine, may be helpful in giving temporary relief. If you have symptoms of one of these allergic disorders, consult your doctor promptly. He will carry out the necessary tests and studies to determine what is responsible. Then he can carry through the course of treatment which will bring relief. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Q. L.: If a person smokes heavily would an X-ray plate show changes in the lungs?

CHAPTER TWENTY 1 BY NIGHT Alison saw Teresa c and Sam around the fire. This was r the wost time of all because Teresa 1 had such interesting things to say 1 while she felt stricken dumb. Be- J cause Teresa could talk about places familiar to Sam, New York, { Florida, California, and each place had its story. Sam’s eyes would c quicken and he would smile and ' often laugh. J “Sam, do you remember Pamela and Dick Wode?” “Sure. She had red hair, didn’t J she? And wasn’t he with one of ’ the government agencies?" 1 “He was, but he went into busi- 1 ness. In New York. He’s made ' gobs of money. They have a house —I saw it last year—that has buttons you push and the whole lighting effect changes and panels slide out changing the room from a dining room to a game room. And Pam—such glamour! They bought a jeep for the fun of it.” “Wasn’t he in the service?” "Oh heavens, no. The government was buying whatever it was he manufactured.” Sam said, “I suppose some people have made money but it seems to me poor taste to flaunt it. Whatever happened to Ruth and Paul McFee?” “Nothing that I know about.” Teresa’s voice was dry. “I haven’t seen them for a long time, but I think they still live in the same little house. I believe they have a child. But, of course, nothing will happen to Ruth and Paul. They’re so lacking." "I always liked them. They seemed very happy.” “Like children playing at keeping house and being artists? Art for art’s sake. Beauty. The Soul with a capital S. You really didn’t take them seriously, did you, Sam?” He smiled. "I’m afraid I did. I thought they were quite sincere and that they had a right to express themselves as they did.” “You were more impressionable then.” “I grant I hadn’t seen a war then. Did Harry Woodruff ever get that nlay produced?” “Yes! And it had a fairly good run. I think he made some money out of it. You could write a play, Sam, or a book . . . Alison, will you go up and see if Suzy is covered? Thank you, dear." Sam shook his dark head. "No, Teresa, I couldn’t write a play or a book. I have no plot or fiction sense. My writing has to be factual—the truth as I’ve seen it happen or as I believe it.” "But you haven’t failed until you’ve UW" “Apd you can't do asytiupg ua-

the lead plates; the huge printing presses; and the work of the circulation department. Education of this type is fast becoming a recognized superior technique of instruction. Much can be learned by actual visual perception that is most difficult to portray in the classroom through the medium of words by the teacher.* Research data points out very clearly that knowledge is gained easier and retained longer if it is gotten through the eyes by actually seeing a process or idea in visual form. It is an established fact that “a picture is worth a thousand words.” Perhaps this partially accounts for the need of vitalized visual aid programs for today’s students. Arthur F.

less you have the desire. Least of all do I want to break through < my obscurity . . . Maybe I should i be ashamed of this old place. But i I’m not I’m proud of it It never < occurs to me to apologize for it i The funny part of it is I expect 1 everyone else to like it, too." When 1 Alison came down he said, “These ' do-you-remembers aren’t quite fair i to you, Alison. They don’t give : you a chance.” “She’s nearly always quiet,” Teresa said. “As a matter of fact, the first night she came to Washington she said she’d been disappointed in love twice but she’s never got around to telling me who they were or what happened.” “Would you like to know, Teresa?” Alison asked. Sam looked uneasy. Teresa said, “Os course, darling." “Well, one was a coward and one was like an apple without a core.” Teresa laughed. “No wonder you didn’t elucidate. How disillusioning! But then you never really had a chance to meet any nice boys.” "I don’t like boys.” "No, of course you don’t. One must never lose sight of the fact that you spent your early life in France and that you were conditioned to men, not boys, at a tender age. Mother liked men. She attracted them even after she’d lost her looks. She could make the most fatuous remarks and they thought she was amusing. I’ve never been able to understand it quite. There was an old jeweler in the town who was wild about her for years." Alison said, “I think I understand it She was always herself and men recognized it. They could be themselves and comfortable with her.” She found herself shaking with a rage she could scarcely explain as she vfrent up the steps to her room. • • • Now it was another of those nights, the fifth night Sam sat relaxed with a cigaret burning between his long fingers. Teresa sat opposite him, her head resting against the back of the chair. Alison sat on an ottoman on the hearth, her back aching from the tenseness. Teresa had been talking about a celebrity she had met in Florida recently. Alison had always noticed that her remarks concerning anyone who had made good were bitterly scathing. Then, without preface, she turned to Alison and said, “When I went in to Sam’s office this morning, I called Edna. When I told her how tired you were looking she said she and Philip would drive down tomorrow aAd take you base with the%” ...

Alison didn’t comprehend immediately. She was thinking of Teresa in her smart tweeds sitting in Sam’s dusty little newspaper office. She had been gone all morning. Had Sam taken her to that place where the creek flowed into the river and where the sand was white and virginal? Not there, she thought. You didn’t take Teresa there, did you, Sam? The little I had, let me keep it, please. It was not much. You never told me you loved me. You’ve never kissed me except the night you and Teresa were married. I have only a handful of memories of that little while that we drew together as if we needed one another’s warmth. Then Teresa came. If you touched me now, I’d be cold. I don’t want you to touch me when I’m cold, Sam. “What did you say, Teresa?” Teresa laughed faintly. “You see, you are tired. You can’t even concentrate. I said that Edna and Philip were driving down tomorrow and taking you home with them. You’ve missed two weeks of school. One more won’t matter. And you’ll really have a lovely time. ; You don’t have to worry about a job, you know, when you’re going into Philip’s office." “You’re going into Philip’s office?” Sam asked. Teresa said, “Os course. Didn't you know? Philip’s offered her a job. My mother was an astute woman in many respects. I shouldn’t be at all surprised if she hoped for something romantic between Alison and Philip when she knew Alison would be coming to to Washington.” Alison said, “That’s a little farfetched, don’t you think?” “And why is it? It isn’t a bad idea, you know. Philip is a marvelous beau and very lavish. Os course he and I are such old friends I couldn’t possibly call him a beau. The truth is, I haven’t had any. Edna will baby you and Philip will take you to parties. If he takes you to tea at his Aunt Sara’s, it’s serious. Really, darling, I was only thinking what a nice week you’d have. You look done in.” Alison arose. “You don’t have to sell me on the idea. I want to go. And now if you’ll excuse me I'll say good-night because I’d like to start getting my things together.” And now she was leaving them again as she had for the last five nights, facing one another before the fire. Trial and failure sat bei tween them but there was also the sleeping child upstairs. Teresa went forth not only with insatiable i desires qtso with tangible • weapon(To 5* Coatiauciij

CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE ALISON was in her room folding her clothes when Teresa came in. "If you’re going to Edna’s, you’ll need some clothes, Alison. There isn’t time to buy any, so you’d better take some of mine. As soon as I get Suzy home I’ll mail you one of your dinner dresses. You’ll certainly be needing one.” As Alison passed her on her way to the closet she looked at her and said, “Thanks, Teresa." Teresa’s laughter, meant to be light, was insidious instead. "Why, darling, what accusing eyes you have! Does the moral issue bother you—that Sam and 1 won’t be chaperoned for two nights?" She nodded. “I amaze you, don’t I?" Alison stood still. “The only thing that amazes me is that you turned out to be not a superwoman but just a woman like our mother who was dependent upon a man for her happiness." Teresa drew in her breath. Her eyes were sharp and clear. "Sam and I aren’t finished yet, Alison. There's more to come between us. We didn’t give ourselves a chance before. Everything was so confused m the pressure of the war. I don’t function well in confusion. I’m too methodical.” She went over and turned down Alison’s bed. "Come along to bed. You’re going to have yourself a fling at Edna’s and simply revel in luxury. Everything is going to be fine. I feel it And after what I’ve been through in recent years I deserve it” But it gives you no peace, Alison thought. She unbuttoned her jumper and stepped out of it. Love should give you high excitement and then contentment, Teresa. You should feel yourself wrapped up Teresa went to the door and opened it. “You do understand the situation better now, don’t you? 1 knew you would. You have a logical mind, though how you came by it is beyond me. Your father must have been an unusual man. You certainly didn’t get that hair and figure from the Vermont side of the family. They were either round as barrels or flat as boards. You really should make more of yourself.” She smiled a smile reserved for a customer she was sending on her way convinced that Mrs. Tarrant, the well-known decorator, had been perfectly right in selling her Mrs. Tarrant’s Idea as to the colors of her new slip covers. “1 thought you liked the Vermont side of the family.'’ Alifop «4id-

“You chose to live with them. You didn’t have to.” “Like them? You didn’t know them very well, did you? Grandmother died when you and mother were still abroad and grandfather shortly after you came back. I loathed him ... He thought women were made to serve men. Domineering, stingy, the almighty male. I chose to stay with him because that was the only way I could get an education. It was the only way I could get ‘out’ and be independent” She was trembling, her face flushed. "Enough of this. Good-night Sleep well.” Alison wondered what would happen if she should scream. Suzy would wake up and Sam would dash up the steps and Teresa, who hated noise, would come back looking surprised and disgusted. There would be a scene—but it wouldn’t change anything. Nothing could be done to change a woman who wouldn’t let it rain on her wedding day. • • • When Alison returned from a walk the next afternoon she found Edna and Philip in the living room. They were all having coffee. Even Suzy was there wrapped in a blanket on the sofa and intrigued with the toy Edna had brought her. If you didn’t know, Alison thought, the picture of them all together would have been a heart-wanning one. Sam and his family and his old, dear friends, Edna and Philip. Picture of a family and friends around the hearth. Picture for an advertisement —Sam, distinguished and handsome, Teresa fair and lovely, the child engrossed in a toy, Philip’s open, honest face and Edna, a towering figure of goodness. But, knowing, she could see that Sam was embarrassed. His capacity for embarrassment was endearing. He couldn’t be indifferent or callous about Edna and Philip’s finding him and Teresa together again after three years. Teresa was being the gracious hostess, but her restless eyes did not settle on anyone. Philip looked as though he had not sufficiently fortified himself for this meeting. He looked like a soldier hurting from an old wound. But Edna wasn’t thinking of herself. She was thinking for all of them because she loved them and because she understood them she forgave (hem. But when would Philip get over his futile love for Teresa and marry a nice girl so that she, Edna, could have a child to love? "Here’s Alison now,” Teresa said. The scene shifts, Alison thought, as she went over and sat on the arm of Etna’s and spoke to her. The youngef V 3
