' WELCOME BOY SCOUTS! o o . You are invited .to the Boy . Scout pageant at Worthman Field Saturday jevening. You may join the church services at this field and wt the Catholic cemetery altar Sunday morning. The Scouts will welcome you - • I - 04-t— OR. L. Van Horn of Fort Wayne, area Scout executive is one of the national leaders in this American youth organization. He lives the code and practices the Scout way of life in every thing that he does. His many years of unselfish service in befriending the boys have -endeared him to parents and Scouts throughout this area. , , . — o—--1 While the Boy Scout organization is primarily for youths, it takes older men to perform the executive and organizational duties. These men give of their time in the interest of the young scouts and render a commendable civic service. While welcoming the Boy Scouts to the Caniporee we also salute the ‘‘Old Scouters” , who laid the ground work for , bringing the big encampment to \Hanna-Nuttman park.

A Strange Form Os Bald ness I 1

ONE of the strangest foryis of baldness is known as alopeciai areata,in which i the hair sud? denly begins th fall out in Coin ■ sized patches without <any ap-i parent cause. This conditions \ seems to occur as j often in women, as hi men.- though the location; cf the bald patches differs ini the two sexes. In boys and men? these bald patches occur mostly: on the back of the head, while; the reverse is true, with -women and girls. 1 ' The cause of thjs . disorder is not known, though many physicians believe that it is due to a -yitus. In any event, experience J .teaches that the baldness usuf ally appears following some mental shock or acute anxiety. Ipfec t’ons of the scalp are thought to play onlj' a minor, role, if any, in bringing it about and. while about' 20 percent of; the cases show a family history ot the disease, there fs little, evidence that it results from an inherited tendency. ' About five percent of the people afflicted with this type of baldness also show white patches on the skin due to the destruction of its ipigment and. in 'many patients, there are changes in the nails. ,\ i,"MoBt people with this disorder recover but in some—and \lt is difficult I to predict which they * ! will be-yit persists until there is

* ZT' ■ camps in Germany were revealed Eip the court hearings, They were Km ad men and the world is ■ cleansed to a degree with thed I removal. * I —°~ I ?Gen. Eisenhower has one of the toughest jobs ever assigned to a military or civilian leader. He must organize the Western armies, encouragement to t|e people who have seen two ©feat wars in the)past 33 years NM cope with Communist obstructors. The American General is Highly respected among the European nations and although he has been over there only a few weeks has made noticeable headway. A delegation of congressmen will visit the General to see what * further steps must be taken to build a real defense against the a u•- - \ l_ ! . r Red aggressors. Eisenhower is a (rue soldier and a great patriots O— Q — . " The state of Ojiio is about to Jose much tax revenue because the legislature years ago was too Specific in defining pubjic utilities. [' The lbw says that a public ilMlity is a concern which ;ope- • L ' ' i rates cars or trains running on rdHs. The Ohio supreme court has ruled jthat this does not apply to a company operating buses of trackless trolleys, and that. such companies therefore are not publie utilities. The, difference as to ) taxes is -that public utilities are taxed on full value of their property, while private corporations are taxed on half value.: The rej sult is that transit companies sud- ! df nly find that under the Ohio law they are not public utilities, as they thought they were, and •he state loses half of their perj son al property taxes. , —■ —o— —o —— . ! • • ‘ «. ' .[ Deputy Defense Secretary J■° \ ■ I Lovett has given the country an idea of what the defense program will cost riext year. He informed .t 'i p r 1 congress that the bill L will be 60 billions. The new year begins July 1 and during the next 12 months the, army will be : built to 18 divisions, nearly 1200 ships will be reactivated: and the i air force expanded to 95 groups. ■ - \ j I; ' i - Lovett broke doilvn the costs for { the various services, armament ahd personnel expenditures and said that exact totfcl would | not be known until the ) end < f the year. The budget is almost as large as for. the. top yesr in ■ij World War II and the government will have to do some high financing in meeting the military bill. A general sales tax may have to be enacted’, ,

a generalized falling of ths hair \.ith complete loss of tie eyebrows and -whitening pr oss of the . lashes. I When, this occurs lapidly, the chance for; recovery is very might. Thisj condi ion is known as alopecia totalis. HowOver, when the loss of hoc y hair accompanies this disease, it is known as alopecia univ jrsalis, and in these cases, it] is always permanent. 4 i’ IJ I One form of treatment consists In the usel of tonics containing aisenicZ fron, and cod-liVer oil, :* the health is -below par.

CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT PINK, sleek lounging pajamas containing Irma Nelson shimmered ahead of McGann into the f living room. A cozy fire lazed on ■ the hearth. In the corner a radio , was playing a low waltz. She swung around and smiled, holding out a hand for his coat. “I hope you don’t mind my coming in through the door," McGann said. **l can’t get used to windows." \ '• "Always bringing up my past,” , Irma Nelson said. Her hair was fine gold in the firelight and he noticed that her lipstick matched the pink of the pajamas. She indicated the sofa before the fire. ’Deposit the derriere." He looked surprised and she added. "This is a word. 1 got it from Earl Wilson." - ' ■ “You went right to the seat of Knowledge,’* McGann admitted. It was Warm and relaxing on the sofa. She curled up opposite mm and ner eyes crinkled. "All right, grill me, darling,? she said. “But be careful. I’m tender." McGann askea, "How's your tatting coming along?" “It’s not tatting, It’s embroidering." “So it’s embroidering. -Getting much done?" / Her hands were clasped about ner knees. “Nope, I’m giving it up. It gets a girl into too/much trouble.’,l never dreamecr before that it was dangerous." “It’s not dangerous if you don’t lie about it-." The smile froze on ner face and the long fingers tightened. "What d’ya mean by a crack like that?" s “I’ll be more specific. You told me that you embroidered the name ' ‘lrma’ on a doll pillow, and forgot it at Ronnie's the day he was murdered." > y She nodded wordlessly. “At least the last part of that is a lie. You didn’t leave it there." He explained about the ruse concerning the tapestry. "You fell tor it." “For a long moment their gazes locked. “Now that you mention it,” she said, “1 did lie about that. Bu* it doesn’t mean 1 was the lucky one who got to shoot Rohnie. You can’t pin that on me at least.” “No- you were right about Kathleen Rogers having the apartment across the court. She saw plenty." ' Bhe rose and turned away. If she was struggling with an urge to ask “What?" she mastered it. She stood looking into the fire. “WouldnT you know,” she said, “that Ronnie would cause me even 1 more trouble dead, than alive.” She gave a short laugh. “1 gave him the best weeks pf my life and what have I got to show for it. Nothing but a fortune and worries.” r "Shirley Stanton's worries are over. “Yes. What an awful thing.” The blonde head came around. “It ! doesn’t scare me, though, if that’s what you’d like to think.* 4 ! “I don’t like to think—period. It wears out the brain cells." He waved a hand. “Thinking is a thankless thing." He favored the ’ sound of that and said it again. "Sit down," he invited. 1 The pink pajamas were a pleasant blaze all their own tn the firelight. He swung his legs up onto the sofa and she sat beside mm. He slid down comfortably and rested his head on the upholstered arm. He began to talk, easily and ; gently. He told her about Shirley Stanton’s use of drugs, about Kathleen Rogers* terror, about Hooker J. t -

Absolutely nothingTo begin with, Solly had not been asking 'about the layout of the Tompkins home. He’d of asked her, wouldn’t he? It was true that she hadn’t been married to Ronnie long but at least it had been long enough to permit her to look over the house. T “He Ranted to know about Ronnie’s plans for the south." “That! was a business deal," Irma Nfrlson said- “Solly wanted to help? a couple- of the boys interest Ronnie in a proposition." i “Ahd | they winded to talk to him when he was friendly and relaxed uifder a palm tree, that all?" •That’s aIL" k They |*ose and stood close fas he looked down slightly into her eyes. “It was a foolish idea,” he said. “Just because you figured you could dream up an alibi for the time of Tompkins' murder, you stuck your neck ouf about the pillow." “Why’should I do that?" He made it sharp ahd quick. "Because you think Solly did it."

He was still holding hei when Solly Spanish stood in the room, poised there a full second before the door slammed. His dark eyes shone from narrow . slits. Spanish said, “1 should apologize. I forgot to knock." Irma Nelson twisted from McGann's arms and got behind him. Solly Spanish came slowly around the far end of the sofa. His hand * fluttered toward his 'shoulder, then he 7 seemed to remember arid it dropped. ' , The dark eyes went over McGann. . “That permit of yours dopsn’t say that it’s all right to neck with other guys’ wives, does it ?" . t McGann looked around at the girt. She was rigid with her behind her. He got out of the way and she gasped as Spanish started forward. "Stop. it, kids," McGann said, "ypu're killing me. it’s a wonderful; performance but the plot’s too familiar. The badger game went out with gas Lights and Corset covers." Spanish tried gamely to carry , the bluff, fit’s a tine thing for a man to come home to, right? You’re a cop. Why don’t you go out and throw your arms around a burglar?" ■ - ' ’’Why don’t you close doors and just walk in instead of arriving like a rocket-ship?” McGann countered. “You give yourself away.

"Tve really got to run." He held out a hand. “I know I was supposed. to dash out in confusion but I need the property, please." She shrugged and brought her other hand from behind her and gave him his notebook. “Thanks," he said, and sighed. “It wasn’t my personality after aIL" “It could have been,” she said, following him to the door. He put on his raincoat “Did you rehlly marry him?" . j , ; “Not yet But I suppose I will- . Now that 1 can support his bookie.** 'He pressed her shoulder. “Good •? lllck.

There was a wall mirror there and he paused to adjust Tompkins’ tie but one look in the glass drove all minor matters from his mind. Flaming across his shirt collar Where the face of Irma Nelson had nestled was a bright pink smear.
