It is unfair to the men and to the state to have the integrity of state, police officers questioned, and if they are not guilty, the public should know it immediately.

Acne Is a Special Plague To Teen-Agers

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. 0. ADOLESCENT acne is the special plague of the teen-aged youngster and, if the condition is severe, he should have medical attention. In any case, he needs sympathetic advice. Chiefly, he needs reassurance on two points. First, he must be convinced that he is not the only one to suffer from this very common disorder and, secondly, that his troubles are likely to be temporary. During the maturing period the sweat and fat glands in the skin, which up to now have not been active, suddenly come to life. Sometimes, during this period, they may be overstimulated and this is thought to be the root cause of the development of acne or pimples. In addition, there may be blackheads, whiteheads, oily skin, and dilated pores. The scalp, too, may be affected so that dandruff forms and the hair becomes oily and stringy. If acne lasts for several years or occurs in severe form for several months, scars or depressions appear on the skin. A blackhead is a plug of material in one of the sebaceous or fat glands. The outer tip becomes black because of changes produced in it by the air. Thus, a blackhead is not due to an accumulation of dirt, and no matter how frequently the face is washed the blackhead stilt will form. A whitehead forms in the same way. However tfce glass in which it firife Sas so opeeinif te tie outtide, fteace, the material is white>

Nothing is as uncertain as the outcome of sports, radio listeners to the Joljf scouts-Jersey Joe Wall. cott fight vouching for the statej ment. Louis almost took the knockout froniJUie 33 year old challenger, t ■ , but received the benefit of a split t decision from ring officials on . points. Joe admitted that he was : not the fighter of fornier years. . The bout may have been a prelude to a big championship battle between the two men in fiiture months. Anyway, Louis is still the champion and fight fans look for- , ward to the expected contest next , year. Fight promoters should discover a younger fellow, who if he licked Joe, could carry on with the croWn. o-—o One of the small lands of pros--1 perity and plenty in the midst of Europe's hunger and suffering is the Duchy of Luxembourg. Visitors , to that small country report that, in contrast to Italy’s four meatless days a week and France’s five, Luxembourgers eat meat every day but one. Shoes, clothing, tobacco, candy, tea, and coffee are plentiful. Some damage was done to buildings during the war, but for the most part the country is in good shape. Visitors from the American zone in Germany take advantage of these conditions and spend weekends and long leaves there. It is said the Americans like the cheerfulness, industry and kindly attitude of the people of Luxembourg. The fact that prosperity and security can be achieved in one small area in the midst of Europe’s morass of suffering is heartening. o o 5 ■- f.. Congressmen and senators i>u’t on a show every now and then about the shipping of oil and other supplies to Russia, mostly for gallery applause. While this newsi paper does not look with favor on ! exporting of needed commodities to Russia, it does remember that the United States is not at war with the Soviets. It also understands that private enterprise I deals with Russia and that our government doesn’t have anything to sell. The only way shipments can be stopped, is by embargo. The other day on the floor of congress, one of the solons reminded his colleagues that American industry imported chromium, magnesium and other basic metals from the Soviet Union and that if the government i enforced an embargo, Russia would , more than likely adopt the same i policy. Much of the Washington . grandstanding could be eliminated. ■ with the result that the people f would receive a clearer idea of , world problems if the real facts ■ were Stressed, rather than confusion from political manuvering.

heads is not exposed to the air and does not become blackened. When inflammation develops around the blackhead, a pimple forms. As the inflammation continues, some of the tissues die and pus is formed. Because of the tendency to scarring, it is important that the treatment of acne be started promptly because, with treatment, the condition may be made much less severe, if not completely relieved. One part of the treatment is to get rid of the blackheads. This is best done by a doctor. In some cases, it may be necessary to make a small cut, using a slender, sharp knife, so that the blackhead may be easily and completely squeezed out. Such a procedure causes no scarring, whereas, inexpert squeezing and bruising may well do so. X-ray treatments are helpful iq many cases. However, they must be given at the proper time and in the proper amount. Ultraviolet ray treatments are also helpful. The home care of the skin is important, too, in bringing about improvement. (The child should wash his face at least twice a day, but he should make no attempt himself to squeeze blackheads or pimples. Frequent washing of the scalp and hair is also important. Such local preparations as may be helpful will be prescribed by the doctor. Food, in itself, is not the cause of acne, insofar as is known at present. On the other hand, certain foods, particularly rich ones, skculi Ba eaten wvis«ly. sties *ay te£A te ia,ke the conditick worse.

Break off a small piece of cleaner, knead it in the hands until soft, then rub well over the hat and the dirt will roll off. Brush well with a good whisk broom to remove the crumbs of the cleaner. Coal Coal will burn better, and there will be less soot in the flues and chimney,, if a strong solution of salt and water is poured over the coal as soon as it has been placed in the bin. A Good Mouth Wash Dssolve one teaspoonful of salt in a pint of boiled water.

CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO WHENEVER she came down the broad winding stairs cf Edna and Philip’s house Alison always felt that she was making a dramatic entrance. Tonight there was more reason than usual for feeling that way because she was wearing a sea-green dinner frock (Kitty had given it to her last year and Teresa had mailed it to her) and Philip in dinner clothes was waiting below. > Briefly, however, the scene changed and she saw the high wide hall with the flickering candles in the tall candelabra as it had been the night Teresa and Sam had been married. Everything went back to that night as if it were the beginning of her life when Sam, despite the gay crowd and the excitable voices and the pelting rice, had : given her that unforgettably haunting look. Now she was here again and Philip, who must have shivered from cold on the terrace that other night because he could not bear to ■ see Teresa go away on a honey- ■ moon with another man, was waiting for her, for Alison, to take her to somebody’s birthday party. He was so nice, she thought. So nice and agreeable and easy-going and thoughtful. The first few days when she had wanted only to rest from the ordeal of nursing Suzy through bronchitis Philip had brought her the most discussed books of the moment And while his giving of tuem had been as casual as though it was really nothing at all she had known that he himself had left his law office and had gone out to select and buy them. And one cold, clear day when he had come home early from town and suggested a walk around the estate she had thought how many things he had probably left undone in order to give his time to her. Yet his and Edna’s many acts of kindness were so tastefully executed they were never overt, To Alison who had always lived on the margin of poverty and who was painfully aware of Teresa's acute money-consciousness, to ive m a house where money was never mentioned was, for that fact alone, a happy respite from the normal. The steps were so long even had time for a thought of Miss 1 Winstead before she reached the last. For Edna had said, “Miss Winstead called me. The poor soul was simply shattered at losing het 1 job. She wept so it was quite a while before I could piece together what had happened. The amazing p«ft of it was Qfat. she blamed herself. not Teresa. Failure u the

Chicago's Newspaper Service Near Normal Despite Continued Typesetter Strike Chicago, Dec. B—(UP)—Chicago’s daily newspapers reported today that their circulations and advertising were close to normal after nearly two weeks of operating without typesetters. The papers gradually are eliminating bottlenecks in their production. They have managed to return to regular edition times, after frequent delays during the early days of A strike called by the printers. They have cut the interval between the time they gather a news story and the time the paper appears on the street. In some cases that interval has been cut to 30 or 40 minutes. By publishing with a process of photoengraving, the papers have found: That they can turn out a total of more than 3,000,000 copies daily, as they did before the strike. They can accept about all the advertising offered to them, with the exception of some want-ads. It takes only 25 or 30 percent as many girls to produce news copy for photoengraving as it took printers to set type. The strike was called Nov. 24 against the Chicago Daily News, Times, Sun, Tribune, Herald American, and the Journal of Commerce. The strikers are members of the International Typographical Union (AFL). They walked out after charging that the publishers had refused to grant them wage increases. The newspapers said the real issue was the union’s refusal to sign a contract, in the hope that by not making an agreement they could get around the TaftHartley law, which bans the closed shop. The strike left the papers without linotype operators. They hake continued to publish papers which first are typewritten by a battery of stenographers and then photoengraved. This eliminates the typesetting process, and the papers can continue to publish since the pressmen, stereotypers, and other work- , ers are not on strike. | Most of the newspapers are us- , ing a machine similar to a typewriter known as a varityper to prepare copy for the photoengraving. ’ In some cases, however, the papers Shave found an electromatlc typewriter to be faster. All of the papers reported that

line of duty. She was pathetic, i 1 made some inquiries and found 1 her a place. The woman, her hus- I band is with the army of occupa- 1 tion in Japan, goes out to work f and she has two girls, 8 and 10, I believe. She simply needed some- 1 one there when the children came s home from school. There’s a little housework and cooking, but it j seemed just the place for Winnie.” i When she reached Philip she saw 1 that he held a spray of 'orchids In f tils hand. "Flowers for a mermaid,” he 1 said. "May I?" i “Thank you.” s He pinned them on her dress i very deftly and said, “As the only ’ male member of a family of wo- i men, a whole harem of them when ' they all get together, lots of aunts 1 and cousins and the like, I’ve be- i come an old hand at pinning on i flowers. So it’s no use for me to < look awkward and say I can’t. Os I course, pinning orchids on you and on my palsied Aunt Sara are two i , entirely different expediences. Edna went upstairs. She said for us : to wait" | “I’ll only keep you a minute," i , Edna called as she came quickly i i down. She had a fur cape over i ; her arm. When she reached them i she lifted Alison’s plain black ; reefer from her arm and placed the > fur cape around her shoulders. I "You’ll need something warm. I There was an announcement over > the radio just a moment ago that ; the temperature will take a dip r before morning. Give my love to ; Tim, Philip, and wish him a happy > birthday for me. I hope you have r a good dinner. I am getting old, r thinking more about the food than i the fun. But I’m awfully glad I 1 don’t have to go to many parties > any more.” t Since Philip didn’t drive at night, » the chauffeur drove them in. l Scarcely had they left the house / before Philip said, "You’re exqui- . site, Alison. That’s the only word 1 that’s right for you.” j “You know, I’ve never known 3 anyone like you and Edna.” s He laughed out. “Well, perhaps r 1 can explain myself a little by , saying I have a hard time keeping . from being a stuffed shirt." 1 “You—a stuffed shirt?" s "Sure. I could so easily be one, e you know. In fact, I often think b I am. But I’m not going to bore 1 you with any poor-little-rich-boy r theme.

He was taken to the Adams county memorial hospital for treatment and then released. The "blow-up” occurred about five miles north of Decatur. Few details were available, but it is believed that the incident is Similar to one which occurred several weeks ago on the Erie railroad when an engine “blew up” and scalded four tnbmbers of the train crew. o Plan Joint Meeting Wednesday Evening There will be a joint meeting of the Presbyterian men’s club and their wives, and members of the women’s gulldr of the church Wednesday night at 8 o’clock in the church. Miss Helen Haubold will present a musicale and Mrs. Clara Porter Yarnell of Fort Wayne will give a reading. Following the program, refreshments will be served and the guild will hold its annual Christmas gift exchange. All members of both organizations and their husbands and wives are invited. o Basket Os Meat Is Unloaded At Plant Employes at Steury’s locker plant have a problem. Saturday afternoon, someone drove up to the local plant and unloaded a basket of pork and drove away without leaving his name of instructions as to what to do with the meat. The visitor was in a green two-door auto but disappeared after unloading the basket. After a spot-check of regular patrons Saturday afternoon, and again today, no light has been thrown on the mystery and the basket of riieat is still without a home. o46 Yi Pound Turkey Shipped To Truman Turlock, Cal., Dec. 8 — (UP)— The national turkey federation said today it had shipped a 46% pound turkey — the largest it could find

She smiled at him. “But you a stuffed shirt I reject. I won’t have it.” "It's only a sort of warning to you.” Then he said soberly, “You’re nothing like Teresa. Teresa was born old and you were bom new. She was bom rebelling and you . . . loving, I think. One doesn’t have to be very astute to see that in a relatively short time." He shook his head. “But I’m not going to bore you with that either. Teresa and I are such an old story we need no rehashing.” He smiled. “We’re going to a party. It’s Edna’s friend Ethel’s party for her son, Tim. A birthday party and a welcome home party. Tim was a prisoner of war and then he was in the hospital for a while.” The door of a strange house in suburban Washington opened and voices rose in a clamor. The house seemed filled to overflowing with people constantly in motion. One maid took Philip’s coat and hat and another Edna’s cape that Alison was wearing. Their hostess, Ethel Cassard, who looked like a smaller edition of Edna, descended upon them followed by her son. "This is Alison Van Dyke,” Philip said. Ethel’s hand smothered Alison’s. "Os course, dear. You’re Teresa Tarrant’s sister, aren’t you? She’s such an amazing girl. No one knows how she manages to do all the things she does and she does them all so well.” Tim Cassard had a square face, dark blue eyes that moved slowly and thoroughly over any object or person on whom they rested and thick hair that looked sunburned. He seemed detached and bored. His smile was slow, too. "You don’t have to be anybody’s sister. As far as I’m concerned you can stand on your own merits.” Presently they were going into the dining room to the buffet supper and there were more people to meet with polite utterances. Everyone knew Philip and Philip talked easily to everyone. He seemed to say the things they wanted to hear —how whs the new baby and how was that recent trip to New York and how was that certain committee coming along and what did they, think of the score. It was as though he catalogued people’! pet subjects. Be Coatmued) '■>
