Tiny White Spots on the Noils

By Herman N. Bundesen. M. D. 1 THERE has always been a good i deal of curiosity as to the white i spots that sometimes occur on the i nails and, perhaps for lack of ' other explanation, definite super 1 atitions have grown up about them In some part of the world. In one < locality, for Instance. It is believed < that the number of spots which < can be counted on the nails of an < Individual Indicate the number of years he will live; in others, they ( are regarded as visible evidence of , the lies he han told and. in still , others, as that of secret kisses. ( Os course, none of these things is true As a rule. au< h spots Indi ( cate nothing lu particular, but. in | many instances, they have a mean Ing for the physician as an indication of some underlying condition which should receive attention. One of the most common causes of these white spots would appear to be injury tn the nail when the root of the nail Is pressed on. as Is often the case In pressing back the soft tissue behind the nail la manicuring This pressure and Injury may cauae the cells to take up an unusual quantity of air which la responsible for the white spots and stripes This may account for the frequent occurence of spots on the nails In young gfrls who are so Interested In their nails as ornament* White spew on the toe nails are not nearly as frequent as on the finger-nails which again wcsld seem to Indicate that Injury to the nails during manicuring is tbu moot common cause of the white spots . As I Mrva mentioned. there are mors important caused of these w>Ha ipdts Uan the nail injuries I

real burden to the owner. With , the state raising so much money from the gross income and other i. taxes, a larger division of the t money should go to local taxing [ units. 1 0 0 i The 4 H Club show catalog has been issued, listing the names of I members and giving the rules and regulations for the various department shows which will be held here during Fair Week. A short history of the participating organl- : rations. Including the Rural Youth and Boy and Girl Scouts, also is given in the attractive booklet, copies of which have been mailed to every farm home in the county. You'll enjoy reading the catalog. o —oIt is reported from Frankfurt that the United States military government in Germany has bus pended the publishing license of the Communist party in Bavaria, apparently in reprisal for publication of a cartoon attacking United States and British adminis- . tratlon of their zones of occupation. The American army news paper Stars and Stripes said the cartoon was “malicious and inflamatory." Have they forgotten , some of the political cartoons ! published over here? s o o Motorists who are concerned 1 with the cost of traveling will t likely by pass the state of Louis- r iana. in view of the new state gaso- * line tax which Governor Long, a t] brother of the late Heuy laing, <' pushed through the legislature. The gas tax will be boosted from n seven to nine cents a gallon, the I 1 highest in the United States Sinokers may also do a little bootlegging p since the tax on cigarettes will be !1 increased to seven cents a pac “ 1 Ixing is raising an extra 100 mil- - Hon dollars, which he is going to deal out in higher old age pensions and road improvements. Over shadowing the reasons ascribed by President Truman for the special session of Congress. Is the trouble over in Germany caused by the Russian blockade against highway and railroads shipments 1 i of food tn that sector. Congress i should stay in session, for it might ' be an influence with the Stalin I crowd, since if It becomes necessary for congressional action to j uphold the hand of General Clay, the American commander in Ger- ' many, it will be forthcoming Congressmen are paid a yearly salary of 315.000 and it Is An old fashioned idea that they adjourn so ’ members can campaign If business employed a 315.000 a-year man. it would have the right to | expect him to be on the job.

They may develop as one of the results of a severe fever. White stripes of coarse ridges on the nails have been observed to develop during severe attacks of typhoid or typhus fever. Nerve injuries are another cause. They may develop in cases of neuritis produced by an excessive use of alcoholic* beverages, or a neuritis caused by arsenic. In many instances, the exact cause of the white spots on the nails cannot be determined. It would appear that there Is a certain group of people who puffer *rom constipation. Indigestion, acne or pimples, and who also have white stripes on the na|ls It is thought that the stripes may develop during the regular monthly periods It Is also noted that the white apota are present in some persons who have excessive sweating. They may occur in those who have a skin disorder known as psoriasis. Eczema. also, may be accompanied by changes In the nails including the forma tion of white spots. Excluding the cases which develop as a result of Injury, fevers and poisons. white spots on the nails of patients may be a symptom that requires Investigation, since they may indicate a more or lees persistent state of 111 health QUIBTIONB ANO ANSWCRB M 0.

apartment of Stone House Into which she had moved with all of her possessions only a few days ago. If anyone had told her, when she had arrived here, that she would do such a thing, she would never have believed them. But it had all happened quite naturally. "Inevitably." she corrected herself, moving to straighten a picture she had Just hung on the wall. Yes, inevitably was the word. The picture straightened, she looked around to see what remained for her to do. Her books In the bookcase, her Venetian glass collection in the cabinet, the curtalnr, then she would be through And since Alec wasn't due until Heaven knew when now, there was no hurry. She had been tearing like a madman, anyway, as if her very life depended on getting everything in order at once. She would rest a minute and smoke a cigarette. She curled up on the day bed. ash tray in her hand, aixl looked around. She liked IL She liked the sloping walls and the casement windows. She liked the yellow flowered wallpaper and th* green painted floor. Her things had fitted in welt The day bed here for Alec, her maple desk, the maple drop leaf table where they could have breakfast or supper, and her single bed and dresser in the little bedroom adjoining. There was plenty of closet space, too, and with their own bath and the small two-burner electric plate hidden behind a folding screen In a corner. they would have almost a* much independence aa U they were in their own home. Her mind went back to the way It had all worked out. To the morning after her arrival, for it had already begun then.

Little Unity Shown At Nations' Parley Foreign Ministers Finish Conference The Hague. July 21 — IUP I The Brussels pact countries failed today to take even the first steps to make their mueh-herakled western union anything but a scrap of ' paper. The two-day conference of the foreign ministers of Britain. France. Belgium, the Netherlands and Lux embourg ended here with the western union as far from reality as a week ago. In place of the hope of a week ago there now are disclosed fundamental differences and a strong reluctance, especially by Britain, to protect the western union beyond a loose organization of sovereign states. The five foreign ministers returned home today with only a few signs of unity and plenty of outward signs of disunity. The most spectacular display of unity was opposition to the suggestion by some American officials, especially those In Germany, that ths Berlin blockade be broken by a show of force. The Brussels pact countries wanted no part of such a project. It was understood they unanaim ously agreed here to oppose any such move, which they feared might lead to war and immediate occupa

Anne had talked there for a few minutes with the old woman, feeling herself being weighed and measured by those quick scrutinizing eyes, feeling the wealth of goodness and loyalty that dwelt within that brown body, and then Nick had appeared, bent and slow and respectful, and behind him Annabel indifferent and airy and not so respectful, and behind her two grinning barefoot scamp*, all on their way to the kitchen. "1 mustn't keep you," Annj had said tnen, and had gone on. She had gone through gates and along paths and over fields, following her fancy, until, eventually, she had come on John and the dogs. The dogs had seen her first and had bounded toward her, and then John had risen up from a rock behind a clump of bushes and had stood waiting for her, the oddest expression on his face, as if he couldn't believe his eyes. He had said, "What in the world are you doing out here at this hour!" “1 had to come. It was so lovely!" He had made no reply for a moment Then he had smiled and asked her if she would like tc go over the farm with him. He was on one of his usual prowls, checking up on this and that, he explained, and if she cared to go along— She did. And It might have been the beauty of that early hour or it might have been John's way of telling her, but talking with him. listening to him, had made Stone House and all it meant com* sharply clear to her. Sh* hadn't known, until then, what a big plan It was and how many people it embraced. For, in a co-operative undertaking, financed and managed by him. four families. more than twenty people, were being sheltered and fed there. There were, besides the Doremus household. Auntie and Nick and their family, alco a returned veteran and his wife and three children living tn a cottage in the hollow, and. finally, two young lads fresh from an agricultural college who made their home In a trailer. “1 have more than five hundred acres here," John told Ann*. "So I need as much help as that For instance, I need an expert mechanic like Tom. He got hi* training tn the Army And I need som*- ' on* who understands animal hua--1 bandry as Charley does. And I ' need young huskies lik* Bob and ' Jimmy for all tbs general work. In faet i'll M glad when Alec ! gets here. I need him. too, for th* r buying and selling end.

tlon of their countries by the RusThe most spectacular split occurred over the French proposal to go far beyond the original concepts of the western unlort French foreign minister Georges Bidault. liarrassed by a political crisis at home, proposed: 1 Expanding tne western union into an all-European federal parliament with delegates from existing parliaments It would be open to all Europe, the east as we’l as the west. 2. Converting the western union Immediately into a full economi. and customs union, to cover ail of Europe later. But under the leadership of British foreign secretary Ernest Bevin. who usually Is given the credit for conceiving the western union, the other countries flatly rejected Bl fault's proposal as a dream Significance of this split was emphasized by relaxation of the ex ceptionally strict security which covered every other development of the conference. The Bldault-Bevin disagreement was announced by , an official spokesman along with a generalized communique which was immediately forgotten. $2,000 Robbery At Indianapolis Office Indianapolis.
