Although the horse has given way to the tractor, the pulling demonstrations •by man's beast of burden always create a lot of interest. o— —o Dandits are still roaming the state commiling robberies and ramsacking lodge and club rooms and commercial offices. La»t week hoodlums walked into a veterans home in Terre Haute and threatened to blow up the place if the watchman refused to give them admittance. The state police should rundown these fellows . . . with bullets. o o Political campaigns changed with the spread of radio and nowplans are being made by poll ticians to include television, Congreesmen who had records made of their speeches and then broadcast are dabbling with the idea of producing short movies to be dispersed by TV stations. It might be a good thing (or candidates to face their constituents at home. o o ■ The exceptionally small number of casualties and property damage in cities struck by the recent Texas hurricane was partly a matter of luck, but in large part the result of adequate and accurate warning of the approach of the storm. People had a chance to take measures to protect tluir, property against the fury of the storm, and to seek safety for themselves. In rural areas, on the other hand, crop damage was quite high. The fanners had the same warning as city folk, hut there was nothing they could do to protect crops in the field against the winds of a hurricane. Accurate foreknowledge has done much in recent years to reduce the loss in thickly settled areas from storms which have been predicted. Every advance in the science of wrather forecasting brings us nearer to a method of safe living with pie elements.

Skin Diseases Which Ca use Blisters

By Herr.'in N. Bundeven, M.D. IN herpes simplex and herpes zoster we have two apparently related akin diseases whirh are basically quite different. Both cause blisters on the skm and both come from different virus infections, but there the resemblance ends Everybody is familiar with herpes simplex but they know it under the name "cold sores.” and we are likely to think of it as limiting its effects to a little crop of blisters on the lips. This is its moat usual site but herpes simplex can-and frequently does—cause blisters anywhere on the body One estabtished In a certain spot, it tend* always to recur in the same region Herpes zoster, on the other hand never produces blisters anywhere but along the coarse of nerves. A single attack trf this herpes zoster produces immunity against later ones, but not again*: herpes sim plex. The latter produces no im- 1 munlty of any kind. It can near many times and an attack does not protect against herpes zoster The first attack of herpes simplex often occurs in early child hood tad affectn the lining membrane of the mouth and (turns. The blisters may appear on the lips, cheeks, ear. fingers. back, or other parts of the body. Fever. Injuries, and certain foods and drugs may help bring on an attack. Exposure to wind or aitravruml rays may al-j

Fort Wayne will have to endure another murder trial with the indictment of Franklin Click, a celery farm worker, charged with the murder of the same three wo- ! men fur which Ralph Lubaugh . confessed several months ago. , Lobaugh awaits in death row in state prison, and it appears that he may skip through with no mure serious charge than perjury. The dials are costly affairs, but justice be done and the bizarre cases eventually may be cleared, unless Click denies his guilt when his trial opens. o o Serving Uncle Sam: American business men should all spend a certain time in work Dig for the government, Gen Omar Bradley, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, told the Na- | tiunal Security industrial Associa tion. He said further that Uncle Sam cannot think of meeting the salary scales of private business, therefore industrialists should make the overtures and declare their willingness to serve. While he did not say so. General Bradley may have had it in the back of ills mind that a term at Washington would give the business man a new idea of the federal official's troubles with Congress, and with the fetters imposed by lass and popularly known under the term "red tape." Some of the attacks on "bureaucracy" are unwarranted, and closer contact between the government and business might reduce their number. , Such contact of business people with government might lead, also, to constructive effort to eliminate some of the red tape. o o Social Security: While the House has passed a bill which would expand the Social Security system, taking in about eleven million additional people, and increase the amount of its benefits, the Senate is not | expected to take it up until some time next year. The intervening time should be used for some hard headed thinking about Social Security and the relation of other financial security plans to it. More emphasis ought to be put on the fact that the protection of the Social Security program is something that the worker buys with his own money, in part he pays directly, in the payroll tax on his wages, he pays Indirectly, in the payroll tax paid by his employer. There is an idea that Social Security represents a wit of free gift, and that idea is part of the cause for a general yearning for private pension plans which appear to be free to the worker. Nothing is free. The worker can have security only by paying for It. In one way or another. That ought to be remembered in considering the cost of both fediral and private pension plans.

f so start one. In treating herpes simplex, care must Ire taken not to use strong pteparations. A weak solution of drugs which have a shrinking ac-i ti<>n should be employed. Gentian 1 violet 1.- often used on the mucous membranes. Il is suggested that vaccination I ’ with smallpox vaccine at weekly 1 intervals for • to 8 weeks may help produce protection against future attacks. In herpes zoster, there mav not severe pain along the course of the only Ire an eruption of blisters but offected nerve. in treating thia condition, sooth Ing lotions are applied and the area covered with a thick pad of 1 cotton. It is also suggested that the I drug known as sodium iodide bel given daily for two or three days: then every other day. if drugs are necessary to quiet the pain, the physician will advise what preparation to use and the proper dose. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS D.F.W.: What would cause blocking of the fallopian tubes? Would vitamin "E” help to get rid of thia obstruction? Answer: blocking of the fallopian tubes usually develops as a result of infection. The use of vitamin “1" would not overcome I tbs difficulty.

CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE THE FAT was in the fire. Know- ! ing that, Chip tossed aside al) pre--1 tense, wheeling his horse and spurring it to a gallop. Ives at his side, the two went thundering I across the yard, heading tor the ' open reaches beyond the ranch buildinga. Guns began an angry banging, boots beat frantically I across the ground and saddle leather squealed as men mounted. The chase was on. I Clear of the ranch buildings, Chip would have beaded south toj ward Tumblerock town. But such | nders as were already into saddles , were fanning out below them, and I though Chip tried to swing down the basin, he was forced each time to veer northward instead. This was the twilight hour, neither mgiit nor day, when visibility was poor- , cst, but that was tn the fugitives’ I favor since they made uncertain targets tor the hungry guns hari assing them. Chip shouted. "North! ! It's our only chance!" and he and Ives went galloping in that direction. Now they were into open country, but ahead of them was one of those many clumps of trees. Chip relished the thought of sheltering timber, but before they reached it his horse faltered, stumbled, made a valiant effort to stay standing, then buckled at the knees, bullet-stricken. Kicking free of the stirrups, Chip lighted running. Instantly Ives was hauling on his reins, extending a hand. "Up here!” he shouted. I Catching at Ives* hand. Chip , swung behind the man's saddle, wrapped his arms%round Ives, and the timber swallowed them. But i once into this shadowy glade, Chip slipped to the ground. “Ge on!" he ordered frantically. Again Ives was hauling at the reins. "Not .without you!" he cried. “Climb back up here! - "This is no time for any heroics!" Chip cried. "With that horse double burdened, neither of us will get away. If you want to help me, keep on going and lead them off my trail. It may be a few minutes before they get close enough to find that you'— alone. By then 1 11 be hunkered down in the brush somewhere. My trail leads south, but I can’t take it unless you toll ’em off north.” Ives nodded. “You’re right! - he decided. "Where do we meet?” "Can you get past the sentry and into Forlorn?” "I think so,” Ives said. “I’ve gone in many times as Alessandro’s foreman. Pom: bl y the Forlorners don’t know I’m not holding that job. - "Then bead for the valley, - Chip ordered. "If I'm not there by noon ttmorrow with Lia. tell the Forlorners to look at the paper Clark Ray bum left in his cabin forthem. It;s a blanket pardon.

If you can't budge ’em into action any other way, tell ’em it's an order from the governor's representative.* "0.K.,” Ives said and went galloping away. Other hoofs were also beating tn this clump of trees. And the pursuit almost upon him. Chip went scurrying into the sheltering shadows. .« • • • To the confusion of a ranch gone wild came Seton Alessandro at dr dismounting at his own gate to find the yard a milling maelstrom ot men and horses. Upon this excitement Alessandro wasted no speculation; he had spied Piute saddling at one ot the corrals and he hurried to his new foreman and got a hold on his elbow. "What's going on?" Alessandro demanded. Piute told him in as few words as possible, spinning a fast and frantic story. When he'd finished, an ashy pallor had replaced the olive of Alessandro's face, but the man was stilt capable of a cool and steady judgment "You say that some of the boys are already on the trail of Ives and Halliday?” "Four or five of ’em grabbed whatever horses were ready and waiting,” Piute said. "Listen; you can hear 'em shooting up north." "And Lias back in her room? And you're sure she managed to tell Halliday everything she knew about St John?” “After I’d laid out Ives, I crept tj the comer of the house,” Piute > said. "I heard them talking, and , I listened. Lia was spinning a yarn I about the night of the storm and : how you and her had moved Hali liday and St John’s body to the Bear Creek schoolhouse." Alessandro’s thin lips drew tight, ■ and hell was alive in his velvety • eyes. "Get the hounds, Piute,” be said. "You're the one man of the crew who can handle them as well > as 1 can. 1 want the dogs on the I trail at once, and I want every > rider m his saddle, except Yampa, i Spread the boys out; send some of ' them to the Forlorn pass with or- > ders to let nobody in or out of the . valley.

Piute said, “I reckon I do, boss. ; It's your neck if they get away.” ’They won't get away," Alesi sandro assured him. “Now jump! i I'll be along in a very few nun- • utea.” [ He went striding toward the . house, but he paused near the en- ’ closure that held the hounds, and I he studied the upstairs windows ! for a moment before he went on. .

pa, and when the sentry came down from the upstairs hallway, Alessandro was awaiting him m the study. i I "Lia's in her room? - Alessandro asked. Yampa nodded. “I ain’t been five feet from the door since 1 locked her up again." "The rest of the boys are riding, ; but you'll stay here, Yampa. From what Piute tells me, you failed me ! once today. Don’t fail me again." Yampa’s eyes narrowed. "She won't get away, bosj." "She'd better not! I’m taking the hounds out of the pen, but I've j sized up the back of the house, I and she'd break a leg if she tried | dropping from the window. Ives must have come down the rain J pi[>e, but she cant reach it from i her room. But look in on her once f in a while anyway.“ "Sure, boas,” Yampa said and I was dismissed by a wave of Ales- i sandro's hand. After the man had gone, Alessandro dipped into bis pocket and > fingered a letter, it was that same , letter Jasper Fogg had written to the governor ot Montana: Ales- ' sandro had read it once, but now he glanced at it again. Then he | placed it in the fireplace, touched a match to it and watched Ull it had burned away. For a space he stood in silent contemplation, then he crossed to his teakwood desk, took his silver-mounted forty-five ’ from a drawer, and also a small , vial containing a white, crystalline powder. With a faint smile, I ha dumped the powder into the i wine decanter on his desk. I Then he stepped to the gun case along one wall, fished a key from ■ his pocket and unlocked the case and lifted out a heavy express , rifle that had served him In India and Africa. A big game hunter i was going on his greatest quest Stepping out pt the study with i I the rifle under his arm, he locked i the door behind him, called Yampa 1 again and pressed the key Into the guard’s hand. ! *1 had business with Jasper Fogg in town today, - Alessandro i said. “I waited all afternoon in bls ’ office for him to return, but he was out getting a skinful and never showed back. So I left a , note, telling him to come here as I fast as he's able. Probably he'll arrive tonight or tomorrow mornl Ing. Let him into the study when i he shows up, and tell him to wait ’ there till I return. Understand? I But sea that nobody else poet to there? Yampa nodded, and Alessandro ' went striding out of the bouse. Behind the fenced enclosure, the : hounds, finding the excitement of this night contagious, were snarling and snapping and scratching i at the gate. When Alessandra released them, they came swarming I out, milling about hm and whining i eagerly. The hounds were ready, and toe hunt was on. t . >1 -to. /To Be Coat ins edl -tolK
