Today. we h<»pe the Fourth was a glorious day for you. This year it will be only the stay at-home who baa nut visited Philadelphia. o o What can we expect in world peace, when the old fight between the North and South seems to be revived with each political campaign. o o A Tokyo postal clerk won a prize for fast money counting. American clerks may not count it faster, but they're counting more of it. • o— o Indiana got by another Fourth without the shooting of firecrackers and while children might have been deprived of the thrill of celebrating Independence Day with the explosives, they still have their fingers. hands and eyes. That is cause for real joy. Mayor O'Dwyer of New York is not a Jimmy Walker, but is more concerned about maing a good record as chief executive of the Big City than becoming the most popular citizen. The New York mayor has lashed out at Tammany Hall and hopes to set up a new political organization that will work with him for the benefit of the city. o n Bolivar. Missouri, a town of 3,000 population, named for Simon Bolivar, "the liberator of South America.’’ had the largest Fourth of July crowd, along with the distinction of entertaining two presidents. President Truman and President Gallegos of Venezuela, dedicated the memorial to the South American statesman and benefactor, who blazed his way into history through his fight for the common man. o—o-- — In another week, the Democrats assembled in Philadelphia, will nominate a vice-presidential candi-

In Case You Get Poison Ivy I I

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. D.'a PICNICS and outings are plea*- tl ant and healthful summer activi- u ties, hut much of their benefit is <• lost if you bring home a case of s poison ivy as a souvenir. The best way to avoid Ivy poi- « Mining. of course, is to steer clear « of the deceptively-pretty plant i whose contact with the skin causes | the skin to break out in a severe. ■ Itching rash with blisters. To do I this you must be able to recognise | the plant when you see it. Even | if you stumble onto It unawares. ■ knowing the plant is still an ad i vantage, for usually the worst es- I facts of Ivy poisoning can be pre vented hy prompt and thorough scrubbing with soap and water Once the skin rash has developed. it may be quickly soothed by using a gree.seieas. non staining ointment containing sodium perborate. Treatment with this ointment will not Interfere with the patient's asual activities The fluid In the blisters Is absorbed in three or four days, and the skin inflamma tion cured within a week. The ointment contains phenol and menthol as well as the sodium perborate it is applied to the affected area of the skin every two hours. The sodium perborate seems to have good effects, because when it b moistened by perspiration, oaygea is gradually released and this otygeu tends to destroy the —hetanees from the poiwm ivy which cause the skin inflamma thee The ointment gradually lones its strength W H la allowed to stand and should be discarded five to ***** days after it has been mads b»ga UhsteT. forx tn ths tn BMm. hospital care often u

I date It's doubtful if anyone can J name the President's running mate at this date, but among the men >. who loom In the picture are: Sen-1 ( ator Alben Barkley of Kentucky, Governor Wallgren of the state , l of Washington; Senator Harold t McGrath of Rhode Island: Senator Kilgore of West Virginia; Conz gressinan John W. McCormick of Boston, Mass.; Senator Joe (J Ma--1 honey of Wyoming and Democratic house leader Sam Rayburn. While _ the Indiana delegation will give » a complimentary vote to Former V. S. Senator Samuel Jackson of Fort Wayne. It is not likely that p the famous Hoosier son will bej come an avowed candidate for a place on the ticket. It's our guess that the vice-presidential nominee will be from the extreme east or * west. i , _ a __ o According to a survey, there is a shortage of doctors in Indiana, compared with the number who ( entered the profession in Illinois. Michigan and Ohio. That should I not be the case. Many young men ' , wish to enter the profession, but find it more difficult to meet r< , quired examinations or hurdle the restructions set up to get into the medical schools. We realize that 1 i capable and qualified men should ( be selected for medical training. I and believe that they are ' available if the student quota was not limited. An Indianapolis news „ paper states that the legislatun i will he asked to appropriate funds ‘ to expand Indiana University j Medical Center, which is now in cramped quarters and thus re- ( tards enrollments. r -~o o Terrible though It was. the Fukui earthquake in Japan will not have a place among the great earthquake disasters of the old World. It is believed to have killed nearly 3,300 persons, but that toll is kinall in the quake re ord of Japan alone. Worst in record-* rd history of the islands was the quake which destroyed much of c Tokyo in 1!»23, killing 143.00)) per- u g sons. Two others killed 30.000 ei each, one in IS2S and the other In F P 1293. Worst in all of the worlds w written records was an earthquake Y 1 V in Chens! Province.

In about one out of ten In- ; stances, the sodium perborate ointment is not effective. In these instances, it is suggested that compresses of potassium permanganate solution be used. Weak solu tlons are necessary because the potassium permancanate may ire irritating to the skin. Potassium permanganate also has the disadvantage of staining whatever it comes in contact with Some persons are particularly susceptible to Ivy poisoning, Such individuals should make every effort to keep out of contact with the ivy plants Injections of an extract taken from the poison Ivy may be helpful to these susceptible persons Os course. such treatment can only be given hy a physician who will also determine in just what cases It may be needed QUESTIONS ANO ANSWERS F.

CHAPTER FORTY "YOU NEED something to do," •" Andrew told Nora. "Os course 1 do. I'm nearly * crazy. I get up late, 1 dawdle 1 through breakfast, we nave a 1 fame of tennis—not a good game. < Either; most of the other house 1 quests are lame ducks or museum Ueces: we dawdle through lunch, Ke take a walk—a walk, mind 1 roul—and dawdle through dinner. We play gin rummy or bridge, and exchange the deadliest brand of imall-talk ever invented, or talk politics. Even that's no fun. We’re ill Republicans: there isn't even anybody to argue with!” Andrew laughed. "What you need is a job! All right. I'll give you one.” “Darling! Do you mean it?” She was pathetically eager. "Yes, I da I'm so busy running around the countryside tracking down building materials that I haven't had time to go on with that Lisbon proposition.” She wrinkled her nose. "You mean that weird old woman and her horrible old house?” "Your definitions are unkind and Inaccurate,” he told her sternly, but there was a twinkle in his eye. "I like that 'horrible old house,' and aee great possibilities in it. I'd take an option on it, if I could get the old lady to sell." "Well, where do 1 come in?” Nora asked eagerly. "You," he said with a chuckle, "are hereby commissioned to get her consent, and then to arrange for the option. It will be a wonderful chance for you to use your charm and personality. And I'll give you a tip. None of this patronizing stuff—she's every bit as good as you are, Nora Huntington, and I mean it” Nora gasped. “You're In earnest, I do believe! . . . Well," she added thoughtfully, “it would be something to do, wouldn't it?" She took it on, and left to try her luck that very afternoon. Mrs. Potts came into the hall when Andrew came back from seeing Nora to her car. “I heard what you were talking about. Andy." ahc confessed. "I couldn't help tt." She struggled hard to wipe the disapproving look off her face, but ahe did not succeed. "Who is she, anyway? Is she your—your fl-an-cay?” Andrew grinned. "No, and never will be while I'm tn my senses ... That doeant sound very gallant, doesit? But you know, Mrs. Potti —everybody knows, I gather—that Fm in love with Joan." He said it so naturally that sh» beamed on him. "Well, she had ali her 'darlings,' and that gu*y way she has ci talking, h she always kke that? Ind wh< la she, anyway?” she repeated.

"Even her own sister,” he echoed seriously. "Nora has an apartment in New York, and in the winter she does a certain amount of charity work. But she doesn’t really like it What she wants is a home of her own. And in the summers she's at a loose end." "What she should do,” Emma Potts said with the air of a pronouncement, "is get married.” Andrew agreed with her. "But you see. she's a little afraid of it After all, she has had very unhappy examples in her own family, and she can't avoid drawing the conclusion that marriage doesn't solve anything—only makes matters worse.” "Gracious goodness!" Mrs. Potts stood in the hallway, her hands clasped under her apron, and shook her head. "It don't seem right that anybody who's pretty and rich, too, shouldn't be happy. But, as Eph would say, 'Uneasy lies the head that don't have a contented heart.’ " It was the first time he had heard her mention Eph since his party, and Andrew's heart lifted for his friend. The big man had been quite subdued lately, and his few humorous sallies had had a forced quality. Andrew heard from Bigelow by I telegraph. Emma Potts met him with a worried air when he re- ' turned from an excursion toward Whitefield. She held the yellow envelope in a hand that trembled. ■ "Oh, Andy," she cried, “do you > s'pose it's bad news? Mebbe I . should have waited till after your r supper. They say it's lad for your 1 victuals ” But Andrew, who had ripped It , open at once, and who had been . scanning the long message, laughed triumphantly. "My victuals will . taste twice as good after this," he > cried. "Bigelow has bought me e twenty cases!” Emma Potts drew away from him a little. “Andy Paulson, don't ' think you can start any drinking ■ parties in my house! I know I thought it was funny when Mrs. Woodford took that punch at your “ housewarming, but that was a spe- ; cial occasion, and it wasn't strong, anyhow. But twenty cases ... I" . She paused, indignantly. , "Twenty cases containing glider wings and parts,” Andrew said, grinning. "Packing cases." "Oh.” Deflated, but only momentarily, Emma Potts suddenly / clutched at his arm. “You're not ” going to take up flying! Why, t youH be killed! It’s dangerous, up here in the mountains.

I'm the one who isn’t thinking." she Aaid contritely. "But you did have me all upset And that telegram coming, and all . . ." Elated with this news, Andrew drove over to Ogden Sayre's after supper to tell him what had happened. But Sayre wasn’t home. Miss Millie rnet Andrew at the door, and he was astonished to see that she had been crying. Her usually comely face looked red and swollen, and she bit her lips nervously. "He's out." she said, with ar. uncompromising air, in answer to his ring at the door. Then suddenly. she crumpled. "Oh. Mr. Paulson, we're so worried! Carol went out with that Ralph Estabrook this afternoon, and she hasn't come back. She's been gone for hours, and we don't know where they went. Father's out in the car, looking for her now." Andrew frowned, but his voice, when he spoke, was reassuring. I "It isn't late,” he said. "After all, it's still light They probably decided to h"”e supper somewhere —you know how impulsive kids are—and never thought to telei phone you.” She shook her head. "We’ve dinned that into Carol since she was a child—always to let us i know where she was if she couldn't j get back in time. We had gone I through too much with her mother : - when she was a girl, and " She i . broke off, obviously feeling she had i said too much. "No, something l terrible must have happened.” » “Have you notified the police?” r Andrew asked. "Heavens, no!” She looked hert rifled. "And don't you do it either, i We ll—we ll And her.” 1 Andrew realized that the “some--1 thing terrible” she had in mind * was not an accident, but some t lapse on Carol's part. He tried to •comfort her as best he could, ; i promised to keep an eye out for t Carol, and drove slowly back to t the Potta house. I Gloria and Ellery were sitting on i. the porch steps, and they made r a space for him, too. "Isn't this ■ a lovely night?" Gloria sighed in . her light voice, "it's almost too * beautiful to be true." Andrew agreed. r "It's—it's positively romantie, I, isn't it. Andy?” Andrew said that it was. and » Ellery hitched one shouioer m y embarrassment. He said, with a t desperate attempt to change the r, subject, "Joe caught a mouse, Mr P Paulson." * That definitely interested Andrew. "He did? In the barn?” e•« kr ° W where h « eaught « it, Gloria giggled, "but he brought * it up to the back steps and laid * it right at Ma's feet when she e went out a few minutes ago, and she yelled something awful!" “O* l - gosh!” Andrew foresaw , comphcatioaa. and started to rise. “It's ail right, sir.” Ellery said, t reading his mind.
