Your contribution to the 1949 Red Cross Fund Campaign assures continuance of this necessary service to members of our armed forces.

o o The employment situation differs in communities and in various lines of business. The International Harvester Company has laid off 350 workers at Fort Wayne and the Nickel Plate railroad does the apposite by recalling 1,087 shop and yard employes. So far the downward trend seems to have been stopped, reemployment going 1 ahead of lay offs. o—o A ditterent idea for a federal j health program has been injected I by Dr. Paul B. Magnuson, medical director for the Veterans Administration. His idea is that the government would help to set up and finance diagnostic clinics, to which anyone could go for exami nation or consultation. Fees for the services would be based on the patient's income. Medical care would be by family physicians and local hospitals, with federal, state or local government paying part of the cost for patients not able to bear the full expense. o o Maurice Early devotes his column on the inaction of the legislature and comments: "Poli tically, Governor Sehricker has won the battle of the 1949 legislature. No matter what happens in the months ahead, he can point to the Republican controlled‘Sen ate and say, “It must accept the 'blame." A rebellious attitude also (prevailed in the House, and Mr. Early, says, "Rough tactics had to be used by the Governor to get his two tax bills through a balky Democratic House. In each instance, Speaker Robert Heller had to provide the one vote to pass them.”

Skin Rash Farmers May Have

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. 0. I I AS time i?oes on we are Lindin? ■ out •what is responsible for many ‘ skin diseases. For example, the occupations in Which people are engaged may contribute toward tne development of certain skin disorders. One of these is known as milker’s rash. i This is a chronic or long-contin-ued disorder affecting principally the hands. It occurs most often in j farmers or other people who milk., The disorder Is easy to recognize. There is a chronic, itchin? rash on i the hands which develop on the I parts that come in contact with the, cow's udder. It covers the part of the index finger next to the thumb and the bark of the thumb, and of j ten extends upward to the wrist. The right hand is usually more of , ten involved than the kit hand The palms of the hands are. free from any symptoms. The disorder is usu ally worse in the winter. It would appear that the condition develops borause of sensitivity to the dander cctni.ix from the an! ! mal's skin. In treating this dieor der, a simple and most helpful measurs is for the patient to avoid milk in*. If the patient must continue to milk, he should reduce conta-t with T „ tvv'. u<Wj. V wcartss rubber gloves or even canvas gloves. Some patients may be so sensitive to cattle that they must give up tanning entirely is order to H frse of tit

Dr. Robert E. Serfing, directoi of state board of health statistics discloses that one out of each twe deaths in Indiana last year re suited from heart trouble. This would indicate that heart ailments I lead in single causes of death ■ Through research and medical science discoveries, the death rate I in the state has fallen from nearly 13 to 19 par 1,000 population. We have become healthier, but in keeping up the pace, the human pump is overtaxed and seemingly gives way under the pressure. o o f Traffic on state highways increased 13.3 percent in January over the same month a year ago and 33.3 percent compared with 1941. Counting stations were located at 22 strategic points in the state, from which the information was obtained. There is only one way to cope with this constant growing demand on our highways and that is to provide funds for their upkeep. It may be unpopular at the moment to increase passenger car and truck fees and gasoline taxes, but without money the highway department cannot build new roads or properly repair the

old ones. Those who use the high- - ways should pay for the improve- - ' ments. . -o-o—- --;■ Observers in France claim that -1 economic stability is on the way in that country. Some claim it is ’ being held back from complete realization by political conditions alone. The government of Henri I Queuille has shown an unexpected strength in its handling of forign policy and in the settling of - .te coal strike. The inflation: i .hich has plagued the country I ance the end of the war shows 1 igns of lessening, owing to the jovernment's unrelaxed efforts to jalance the budget. Renewed con-' idence of the people is shown jy the fact that a recent issue of jovernment bonds has been hacked ty the public to a surprising extent. o o The Associate Secretary of the National Commission on Teacher Education, is authority for the statement that nearly ten million more children than in 1947, will begin school. He estimates that from now until 1952 the increase will be between 800,000 and 1,000,900, and then the enrollment will climb one million a year. Due of course to the unprecedented birth rate during the early forties, the nation must plan some way to care for he children. Births during the a five year period ended in 1948 were ’ 18,770,000 compared to 14,400,000 for the previous five years. The 1 task will not only be in providing * new buildings and class rooms, but in obtaining teachers, the educator outlines. He says that only 20.000 1 took up the profession last year, 3 while five times that many are needed.

Women gueata are colorlul, aome eccentric, some "mysterious.” CHAPTER SEVEN THE TEMPEST of emotion was passing but it still shook Debby like the thunder of a storm diminishing in the distance, still caught at her breath. She obeyed the hand on her arm like an automaton under remote control. Tim Grant dried the bench with his handkerchief. “Sit here." "Still 1-leatherneck technique?" she inquired with an unsteady attempt at flippancy. "Not this time. It isn't a command, it’s a request" She shook her head tn response to the cigarettes he offered. “Mind if I smoke?" Another shake. Silence, a cunoua throbbing silence. The light of his cigarette glowed and faded. Her breath came unevenly as she watched the thin spiral of smoke rise and drift away like a fairy spreading gauzy violet skirts in flight She tried to speak but her voice wouldn't come. As if he sensed her attempt he commented: "The white, vine-draped colonnade, the game house at the end, look as if they belonged in a world of magic in this light It wouldn't surprise me to see a mermaid rise from the swimming pool in front of it" “I c-can see a figure pacing the lawn between g-game house and pooL" She cleared her voice. “I sound as if 1 stuttered. 1 don't really.

Where could she go to avoid him? She would have to pass him to reach the house. Better remain where she was and take iL She would have to sometime. Apparently he was set tor a showdown. (Jnfortunat it should flash its comingup number while little creepy chills from her emotional binge still slithered along her veins. “What’s the idea running out on the party ?“ Warner inquired as he dropped to the bench beside her. "Why did you beat it when I spoke to you in the hall? There is a lot that needs saying between us. You've been crying. Because of me? You don’t hate me, do you. Deb?" She remembered the tone with its suggestion of male invincibility. Crying because ot him ? How dared he think that.' He was still sensationally good-looking with his fair hair and small mustache, and large brown eyes which could have the appealing softness ot a setter’s, when appealing softness was called for.

“Why don't you answer? I came back to the old job because of you. Going to forgive me, aren’t you, Debby? Let me start where we left off?" His wheedling question followed her mental summing up almost as if he had waited for her verdict “Forgive you for what, Clive? For saving me from a life of unhappiness? Gratitude is the word that fits." “Is that so?" He chewed at a corner of his mustache, a habit when he was angry that she remembered. "Because Odile let me down? It wouldn't have happened with you. It wasn’t my fault that she wanted a divorce and got it" Did he really think that was thy reason she distrusted htm? Had be forgotten that he had walked out on her seven days before they were to be married? He was putting on an act and who knew better than dhe that he was an expert at cajolery? “It will be a shock to you. but I am not interested in you end your one-time wife, Clive." “Is Grant responsible for that? 1 saw him beat it through the hall and out the door after you." “Grant T Do you mean Tim Grant? Where did you <<•» that absurd Idea? i had forgotten he was in the world till a few hours ago when Molly B. told me he Was here to talk business with her." That's a phony. How could you help knowing?
