He inherited $1,100,000 and spent the whole jackpot in gambling and living extravangantly, winding up owing the government $56,000 ini taxes.

Likewise, supplies and food that piled up at the docks will be loaded on ship and ocean traffic will resume normal functions. The strike was costly both to shipper , and worker and created much inconvenience for passengers who couldn't unload trunks and baggage from strike-bound ships. o o— *— Admirers of the Reciprocal I Trade Agreements Act will look confidently toward the renewal of! this act without crippling amendments fpr the customary three years.

Safe Ways of Hair Remo val

By Herman N. Bundesen. M. D. THE excessive growth of hair over one or more parts of the body is called hypertrichosis. This condition may occur in either sex, but is of special concern to women who are apt to worry about it more as a detriment to good looks than for its possible hearing on health. While it is true that excessive hair may occur in women who are otherwise perfectly healthy, and normal, it may also be an indication of certain serious conditions, such as tumor of the adrenal glands, located just above the kidneys, tumor of the ovaries, or of the pituitary' gland at the base of the brain. Fortunately, these disorders are of very rare occurrence. Nevertheless. they are also so grave that in any disturbance of normal hair growth, they must be ruled out before other treatment is started. This requires a careful study by the doctor, including an X-ray of i the skull if there is any question of tumor of the pituitary. Once it is established that none, of these serious conditions is causing excessive growth of hair, treatment aimed at getting rid of it may be started. By and large the most satisfac j tory method of dealing with it is shaving, and most doctors will ad vise this course even though it does net appeal to their women pa tients. Most women have the idea that repeated shaving will not only make the hair coarse but will cause it to grow more rapidly ( Neither of these things is true. ■ The alternatives to shaving all; have more or less serious objec tions X-rays will cause wasting of the skia. the formation of large blbod vessels and. sometimes, se vere itching. Thus, the woman who this ujtlhod runs a chattel

The Congress just going out of office obviously disapproved of it, but did not quite dare to defeat it altogether. Another big project that Congress will consider next January is the housing problem. This country needs more homes‘and young couples and G. I.’s should have a chance to rent or buy . a home. It is likely that the federal government will undertake a program, in cooperation with private industry, to build a million homes and endeavor to reduce construction costs for the average small home. Homes are backbone of America and if we sit idly by and fail to provide dwellings or those who wish to start a home, this country has failed in one of its fundamental principles. o o It is indicated that battle will be joined in Congress again next year on the issue of federal controls over oleomargerine. Expected ts a proposal that manufacture and sale of oleo colored yellow to resemble butter be prohibited by federal law, and that all federal taxes on oleo be lifted. The friends of butter would have a much better position on such a proposal than can be had in support of discriminatory taxes. There is no refuting the argument that the purchaser who pays for butter should receive butter, and that oleo should not under any circumstances be sold as anything but oleo. Since both products com-; monly move in interstate commerce, it should be easy to make a case for such federal regulations as may be actually required to prevent fraudulent sale of oleo as butter. Greetings: This newspaper joins in extending a welcome to the teaching staff and students of the Reppert Auction School. For the next three weeks, the instructors and students will make Decatur their home and in addition to the usual friendliness shown to visitors, the spirit of good-will prevalent with the Christmas season should make their visit all the more pleasant. Founded by the late Fred Reppert, the school is recognized as the leader in its field. Its course of instruction and actual experience given students on the auction platform, equips them in the art of salesmanship, and trains them in the techniques of the profession. We hope the mid-year winter term is successful and happy for all.

. of substituting one blemish tor an-1 ■ other and. at the same time, lets herself in for considerable discom- • fort. The use of powders or pastes i containing a chemical known as barium sulphide is shunned by a ■ great many doctors on the ground that it not only tends to redden the s skin but stimulates the hair growth i as well. Pulling the hair out with -tweezers may cause chronic inflammation around the hair roots.* Removal of the hair by the electric needle is slow and painful, but ' is useful when only a limited number of hairs need to be removed. When an excessive amount of hair occurs during the change of life, as sometimes happens, treatment with stilbestrol should be employed to relieve whatever symptoms are present. However, this substance has no effect on the growth of hair. Women who have disturbances ’ of hair growth should consult their 1 physicians for examinations as j soon as possible. It is, important that tumors, or any glandular disI turbance which may be present, be determined and proper treatj ment carried out. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS E. T.: What is lupus erythemato--1 sus? Answer: Lupus erythematosus is a disorder characterized by pinkish or reddish-colored patches of various sizes and shapes, usually , on the face, and leaves thin, white i scars. The cause of this eruption I is not definitely known X-ray treatments seem to be the : most satisfactory way to clear up the eruption temporarily. A lotion containing zinc sulphate, sulphur. and sulphurated potassium is helpful Radium also has been used in treating the dlaorder.

, CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX I WHEN THEY were upstairs that night Gail asked Brad, “Why didn’t you tell me that one of your accomplishments was playing the violin?" "The fiddle," he said promptly, following her into her dressing room. “I don’t know. Didn't occur to me. Maybe 1 thought you'd better find out things gradually. I took lessons as a kid with great reluctance, when 1 was in school 1 fooled around some, because I liked it But 1 never had much time. Did Helena tell you? She knows dozens of better violinists and it must half kill her to hear

any of them because, I understand, 1 I Erich could have been a proses- 1 i sional he was that good. He was 1 j a medical man, you know, a sue- i geon." "I didn’t know. She wants us I to come there one evening," she i said. “They have missed you." Gail i I sat down at the dressing table and I I began brushing her hair and he 1 watched, fascinated always by the living texture, the sweep, the ' amazing color. It was a very cold night and the electricity crackled i I in the brush, the hair clung to it He said, “It you can take it, dear, we’ll go. Erich's not easy to take. You could, after the first moment accustom yourself to his disfigurement I’m sure. But he's a violent man, moody, difficult, bitter." “I can take it," she said confidently. She wasn’t so certain, meeting Erich in the small apartment Helena had made the most of every inch of space, the living room ttself was large, quite uncluttered, and comfortable. There were flowers around, and the coloring in the room was subdued and restful. There were several people besides Gail and Brad, a pretty Frenchwoman, who sang, a young man from the laboratory whom Gail had met and whom she suspected of being futilely In love with Helena, and another Austrian couple. Seeing Erich Sturm for the first time was a shock, although she had been prepared. He had once been a very big man. He still looked big. in his wheel chair, his shoulders very broad, sad his bead massive. His hair was white and his face was scarred. He had eyes as black as Alexandria's, and they were bright and seemed young, at first His hands, which he kept hidden as much as posible, were badly crippled; how, sne dared not ask herself. They talked, there was music, and she watched Brad play. He looked at her, in protest and appeal, half laughing, half serious before he raised his bow. He played, she thought, very well She sat beside Erich and listened and watched his face soften and the black eyes, which were sometimes like obsidian, soften a little, too. She said, 1 know so little about music, Dr. Sturm, but surely that was very good?” _ He said with his heavy accent:

"It was charming. Your hus- 1 t band, Mrs. Spencer, is a naturally : good musician. My wife is quite i ■ wonderfid; the others, more than i t adequate.” i The French girl sang, to Hel- , ena's accompaniment, and after a i ; while there was a simple supper, I ' and much good wine, and when 1 they left Erich Sturm, looking at I Gail, asked abruptly, “You will t come again?” 1 "I’d like to, very much.” I "You are beautiful to see,” he i said, in his Uncompromising way. i He must have once had a deep, 3 sonorous voice. Now it was high r and querulous. It did not suit him.

He added, “I like your husband. < He is a fine young man. Money 1 has not spoiled him. He has been very kind to me and my wife." ’ He shifted his glance to Helena, < talking with Brad, and it was dark with a rooted misery. Gail’s heart shook. She thought, She is all he I has, he loves her almost beyond reason. i Going home, Brad said, "You were depressed, I think.” “A little, at first: and now and again while we were there. It’s pretty awful. I don’t mean Dr. Sturm's appearance, Brad." “I know. He was a great surgeon, and he was not of nor In sympathy with the party. They couldn’t make him do the things they wanted him to do. As for her, she could have been very important to them . . . only she| wouldn't conform. She get out just in time. Scientists all over the world knew of Helena Sturm, were, in some instances, indebted to her. She didn't want to leave Erich, but he compelled her, for he was afraid for her. So she was got out—it's a long story—first to Sweden, afterwards to America. Erich might have made his escape before it was too late, but be wouldn’t. He had patients who looked to him for life. He'd perfected a very delicate, dangerous heart operation, there were about three men in the entire world who could perform it, at the time. When the Nazis caught up with him he was operating. By God, they waited until he had finished. I don’t know how he made them but he did. He was eventually shunted from one concentration camp to another. His last stop was to have been just that; at the most infamous of them all. But he was liberated shortly after iris arrival One of the army doctors recognized him, he bad known him in Vienna. Eventually, Helena was able to get him over here. He is greatly improved in general health; and he has been able to lecture to small groups, from his chair. He can't demonstrate his operation but he can explain it, and the slight deviation that makes it his own. as a signature is personal." She said. "He is terribly in love with his Wife." "It would be easier," said Brad, if he weren't” Just before they reached home he said, came froq

Gail had seen the first reports, which had come in just prior to their marriage. "Did they find anything?" "Nothing. But there are a great many cities in the United States, towns, villages ...” She put her hand on his, and leaned against him.

Gail said after a moment, “I have no affection tor him, Brad. You understand that I have only a sort of inherited hatred. No, that’s not the word. The word is resentment I don’t want to see him, If he's alive. 1 don’t think I even want to know . . . This was your idea, remember?" He said, “You don't mean that You'd rather know." She knew, early that spring when, coming in from lunch with Pat, Andrews opened the door and said, expressionles. "A gentleman is waiting, madam.” She asked, “For me? Who is it Andrews?" She thought Sam? But Sam wouldn't come like that early in the afternoon. Sam would telephone. Sam would ask, What would tt eost me to get past the guards ? “A Mr. Rogers," said Andrews evenly. "Rogers? You're sure?" She lowered her voice, felt that ahe was white, knew that she felt almost Hl with nervousness. "Did he ask for me ... or for Mr. Spencer?" “For Mr. Spencer first" said Andrews, "and then for you.” "Where is Mm Spencer?" "She has gone out, madam," said Andrews; "she will be home tor tea."
