New Drugs Aid This Condition

WE are becoming more ana more -aware that the connective tissues of the body are subject to disease which can produce generalized illnesses. One rathe r peculiar disorder, thought to belong to this category? is feclerc dema, which has recently been found to affect a good many people. , The chief/ieatttFeL-ef-scleredema is a.- firm, iaut spelling of the skin, with extreihe thickening and roughening. These changes < are first noted on the neck, from whence they spread to the head chest and back. In addition, excess fluid ofteh forms between the membranes of the lungs and in the Chest cavity. Jolpt swellings are also fairly common. / zThis disease should not be confused with the crippling and sometimes ffatal scleroderma, in which there is a Stone-like hardening of the skin and body organs Scleredema! usually follows til nesses in which there is high .fever produced by streptococcal infections. s A/ considerable I*rtod_ is required for. the swelling to disappear—tisualy from < eighteen months. The swelling Is peculiar, in that no mark ‘ vJI when heavy pressure is apph to the swollen area. It is wfgM accompanied by swelling o , parotid glands, the glands just.

vantage of starting life with many millions, which he built into a huge fortune, estimated at a quarter, of a billion dollars.. He inherited 20 to .30 millions from his father and mother and entered the newspaper business in San Francisco, after he wH expelled from Harvard University, because of a .campus prank. He was a colorful, . controversial figure, who had a dynamo of energy, which he exercised throughout his career. Part of his newspaper chain was liquidated a few years ago, his Reading papers being the York Jour- ; nal, the Los Angeles and San Francisco He also published ‘magazines and had a news gathering, picture and feature service and a string of radio statiops. His death closed a page in American newspaper publishing, which no ’ man will , ever likely duplicate. —o—.o Pleasure Driving:— When the automobile came tb , popularity it brought with it a i new concept of pleasure driving, r Ever since man has had vehicles to ride he has. uspd them to /obtain the sheer pleasure of riding in them as well ms for more practical purposes of transportation. The automobile brought a new scope an.d new ease, and hence . ■■■ ■ \ . '■ \ . ’ greater possibilities for pleasure, to the Sunday ride. It also brought .new complications. Many highways have become choked with traffic, and ._ somehow it seems that the heaviest traffic is always found on Uib roads which lead to the most desirable places. That no doubt is natural. Threading a path through - this traffic has brought danger to the ride, and a degree of nervous strain for the driver which lessens driving pleasure. But perA haps the most insidious thing the automobile has done to the pleasure ride is •to impart to it\ a sense of urgency, a feeling that one has to hurry so as to get somewhere. ' This notion tnat one must hurry , accounts for "most of the unpleds.antness and nervous strain of driving in ’"traffic, and alsq for most of the danger. If we could •r ■ ■ I. ■ < Just get back to the Old-fashioned idea that a ride can be taken purely for the pleasure of riding, and that it need, not really patter how far We gtet from home in a g/iveh tinm pleasure ride might yet survive the age of the automobile. >

< below* the ears which are affecte 1* in mumps. . ■ /- Until a few months ago, no known treatment was available for this affliction. However, it has been thought hy some that the use, of the new* drugs, cortisone and ACTH, be of some help. In view of this, an attempt was made to stimulate the formation Os ACTH within the body of a person suffering from scleredema by. the s giving of epinephrin, which stimulates the. formation of ACTH. I ' \ \ " / Shortly after the administra tion of epinephrin was begun, the patient w-as free of Abe cons trie’ ing feeling due to the swelling. The swelling decreased in Size: within three- weeks the neck ana face were free from the swelling, and there as a definite deci-ease in the swelling of the] chest, back and abdomen. While the drug did not completely relieve the symptoms, a marked' reduction in their severity was noted. .QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS C.

CHAPTER FOURTEEN. AS SHE DROVE to the studio, Julie recall eo that Cy was planning on coming down Sunday after next. U occurred to her suddenly that the date was the final day of the pageant at Seaside. How could she have forgotten P to' let him know? She remembered that he was going to be In Portland that weekend, at some kind of convention, and planned to drive down to Bayport early Sunday morning after the banquet on Saturday night. She put in a long distance call to Cy at Seattle. When he answered, she said: "Cy, this is Julie. I’ve Just { realized that the Sunday you mentioned 1 won’t be in Bayport.” "Oh? Well, Julie, I hoped that day would be all right. Can’t you, change your plans?” "No, I’m sponsoring Miss Bayport at the Seaside Pageant." Cy’s cold voice said, “Are you serious, julie?” "Never more so. Our local contest was last night. I’ve been assisting here, and agreed to go there. It’s for three days.” "I’m amazed at you. Why all this civic interest? Or is it the glamour of the thing? Really, Julie, I felt you were above that sort of thing?” Julie did not answer. She wanted to hang up the receiver. , Yet she hadn’t done a thing like that since her childhood. "Oh, all right, Julie, I’ll meet you then. Can you have lunch with me?” “Cy, I don’t know. The schedule is very hectic. Why not meet you a. the hotel about four? It will ■ be over at three.” “Very well. It will delay me, and I’ll be bored to death, but I’ll meet you at four.” “Cy, you really don’t need to. You could Change your plans, come down here the next weekend.” "It’s impossible for me to get away then. 1 can’t keep changing my plans to shit every whim of yours.” "Os course not I’ll see you at Seaside, then." Julie’s hands were shaking so that she could scarcely hold the receiver. She knew now that even had she never met Jeff, this cold blooded conversation would have broken her engagement to Cy. Th tide was out. The white sands beckoned invitingly to Julie and Jeff. They went for a walk, strolled to the old abandoned cabin at the foot of a cliff, and then went back to the Spot they’d selected tor their driftwood fire. Jeff, stopping her suddenly, said,

When a v-oman is traveling alone on a train and wishes to have a stubborn window shade raised or lowered, or a piece of heavy luggage moved, is it all right for her to ask a nearby male passenger to Jielp"’ her? A. No; she should ask the porter to do this. Q. What should the father of [the bride do after he has given her away? A. He his place next to his wife, at the end of the first pew on the left of the church. Q. How' should an unmarried woman introduce herself in a social way? A. Merely say, “I am Betty Morgan.” College Student Is Drowned At Marion Marlon, Ind., Aug. 15.—(UP)—r. Kenneth Strangler, 21. a Marion college student from Canton, O / drowned yesterday while swimming in a qUarry horth of Rigdon. The body was recovered.

“There's something different about you, tonight; What is it?” “1 sent my ring back to Cy today.” “And that makes a difference?" “Yes. I’d planned to wait and tell him, but suddenly it seemed the thing to do—Just to mail ft to him and... write him a letter. /And so 1 di<£ I no longer feel guilty about having dates with you." “Then that’s wonderful, Julie! I’ve not said anything about marriage yet. But I’ve wanted to. I thought I should give you a chancip to know me. I knew the minute I saw you that you were my girt” He drew her to a huge log that had drifted In to the beach and they sat down. Jeff took her hands. “Julie, will you marry me?” Julie’s heart beat hard. Her thoughts flowed swiftly, swirled tumultuously. "Jeff, I know I care, even enough to marry you. But let’s not rush matters. Det’s take time to get acquainted.” "Whatever you say, Julie. Meanwhile, I can call you my girl?" “Your best girl,’’-she laughed. The beach fire burned low and a full moon shone brightly. “Mother said I might invite you to Sunday dinner." "Elegant, and what time?” “About one-thirty. It’s early, but that gives Alek and Carol a chance to get out with their gangs. “I’m quite taken with Carol. She’ll make a nice little sister. I’ve never had one, you know.” “Tell me about your family, Jeff.” “We’ve always been close. Just the four of us: Mother, Father, Adam and I. Dad’s death was a terrific blow to all of us. Mother didn’t ever really recover from it She dropped out of everything they’d ever done together. Said she couldn’t bear to go places they’d been. Adam married and Millicent doesn’t like Bayport very well. She grew up here and likes to live in the city. Adam said last week that they were coming back, however. He’s recently bought a half-interest in the Northwest Fish Packing Company. It should be a very good thing. Millicent won’t like leaving her social life, her friends in the city.” “Dad said he thought you were in the Navy during the war.” "Air Force, ’’ he corrected her. Three years, rd Just entered the university the spring of ’4l. After the war, I went back and finished my course fn engineering.” “And would you like to be in that fielfl?” “Yea,” he answered briefly, Julie felt the sudden impact of the short word. He would like to

Graham To Receive Ph. D. At Purdue Jack W. Graham, son of Dr. and Mrs. Ralph W. Graham of Marlon will bfy'- awarded the doctor of philosophy degree from Purdue University. Thursday. Dr. Graham was formerly pastor of the First Methodist church in this c|ty. Jack Granam, who has gained considerable counseling experience at De Pau w and Purdue Universities has recently been appointed as assistant professor at Southern Illinois University, Carbondale 111. He will serve as supervisor nf counseling in the office of student affairs. Graham attended the high school in this city and graduated from the Greencasle high school 'in 1943. He was graduated with dis tinction from DePauw University where he received the bachelor of arts degree in 1945. He obtained his master of arts degree from the University of Wisconsin in 1949 and completed his graduate worK at Purdue. The copper ctent of 1793 was the first coin minted in the U.S.

be an engineer, and here ne was in Bayport, operating a sportswear shop. It didn’t make sense. Then, like a vista, the whole thing opened out. He was staying here until his mother made her adjustment over the loss of his father. . “I had two years at M. I. T., and then went back for a graduate course last year. I finished at the end of the first semester. Dad had died in November. 1 came right on back here in January.” “1 see," she said. She wanted to aski But will you go back into your field? Engineering seemed so much more important than selling sports goods. “Julie, maybe with you, rd go ahead In engineering. I’d probably go back to school or out on a field Job. But you’d go along, wouldn’t you?” “Why, of course!” she cried. "Oh, Jeff,' you must get back into your work! You simply must! Fd hate for you to leave now, when we’ve Just got acquainted, but—” “Oh, it would be impossible for me to leave now, anyway. I’ll stay on right where I am for another year at least, Julie. I can’t let Mother down—not at this time. She’s not too well.” “You’rte right, of course, Jeff. And we’ll have our lives before us. When Adam comes, though, won’t he and Millicent be a help to her?" j "Oh—” he hesitated. “You might as well know. Millicent and Adam don’t come home very often. 1 doubt their living here In town would matter much. I’m Sorry, but that’s the way it is. Millicent and Mother are sort of allergic to each other, I guess.” » Julie didn’t know Millicent very well. Hardly at all. She’d been older, of course, and then, too, Millicent was quite sophisticated. She talked the language of the Easterner. I “I think you’ll like Adam and his wife," Jeff said after a moment. “And, darling, I know they'll like you!” He kissed her. “And now I’m going to take you home before the sheriff’s posse comes out to hunt us. It's twelve-thirty." A nagging thought occurred to Julie as they went to the car. She had never met Mrs. Douglas. Why didn’t Jeff take care of that? Was there some reason he should delay it? But if his mother was still brooding over his father’s death, it might be Just as well to wait for a while. It did seem strange that, having grown up here, she had never been introduced to the boy’s mother. Jeff took her home, said he’d see her Sunday. (To Be Continued}

LAZY FARMERS PASTURE I looked at my pasture field, It really is a sight; 7 Makes me glad that my company, Comes to visit me at nighL It has got the variety, And that’s the spice of life; If you don’t believe me, Just ask your darling wife. The milk has lots of flavors, I guess there’s nine of ten; It makes some tasty soup, Without the seasoning In. I ought to clip my pasture, Just to kill the dreeds; But they say there’s proteins, in all those little seeds. I thought of the birdies, Who need a place to nest; And the little bunnies, Like the big weeds the best. There’s a million Canadian thistles, That left their northern home; My pasture Would be better. If they would never roam. There’s a lot of yellow perril, And some hen pepper, too; And those big bull thistles. Almost as tall as you. The pasture Is so poor. There’s weedfc that we call rag; If each dock was a penny, I’d be rich enough to brag. There’s whltetop by the thousand, And some big glmpson too; It’s just like a wilderness. With eow paths beaten through. Found a lot of■ cockleburr, And a weed called pokeroot; And others thats called milk, And some horseweeds toboot. But the frost will kill ’em. And there’s one thing for sure; When those weeds are rotten. They will make some good manure. —Raymond McAhren (pd. advt.)

CHAPTER FIFTEEN TWO DAYS later Julie had a :all from Cy. She took it on the upstairs extension. “Julie, I Just cant imagine what came over you, darling. I’m sure that you were nasty in this matter," Cy said’ after their first greeting. "I must tell you, Cy, that Tve been on the verge of writing you tor weeks. In fact, most of the summer. I’m sorry that I delayed it so long.” “I made you angry when I talked about coming to Seaside, dear. I’m terribly sorry. Can’t you forgive me?" “It isn’t Just that, Cy; Would it convince you if 1 told you I’d not been wearing your ring for a long, .ong time?" “You haven’t?” His voice was ncredulous. < "Oh, Cy, I couldn’t write you so :oldly then, but you Just didn’t seem to be able to get down here so 1 could tell you.” “I cannot understand it. Julie, you’ve changed. I. should have come down more often this summer.” “It wouldn’t have helped, Cy. I made my decision soon after you were here last time. We’re miles apart, have nothing in common.” "I’m flying down tomorrow, Julie. I can get away on an early plane., I’ll charter one down to Bay port.” “Cy,‘ I’m sorry, but I have an engagement” “I see. Would it do any good if I canceled my convention plans and came down there Instead? Os course, that’s business—” Julie felt hysterical. "No, Cy. I won’t be here. I’ll be at Seaside, remember?” “Yes! Os course I do! That’s what started all this!" Julie recoiled from the phone. It didn’t even sound like Cy. She didn’t want to argue with him. She said quietly, “If it’s important that you see me, Cy, then pick the next weekend." "May I see you next Monday evening?” “If you wish. I’ll hold it open.” She didn’t want to see him, however. It would be Just another,bitter hour, and she knew it wouldn’t change her mind. After a pause, he said, "Julie, you’re too mature to be Jealous of my work.” “That’s why I’m so sure that our marriage wouldn’t click. I’m not jealous of your wdrk. I simply do not love you any more." \ She was shaking. It seemed so rtrange to be saying all this over tiie telephone. She waited for bls

reply. He said, "Then it won’t do any good to come down, will it?” “No,” she said firmly. “Good-by, Cy.” “Good night. Julie." His soft-spoken words sent her into a sorm of weeping. She lay across her bed and thought of all the times that she’d turned down dates with students on the campus, waiting for Cy! Waiting for him to call, to write, to come. But he had taken her for granted. She was glad that it was settled. She went to the telephone and called Jeff’s number. A cool, feminine voice answered, saying, “Jeffrey Isn’t home Just now. Shall I have him call you?” Startled, Julie said, “Thank you, no. I’ll see him later.” • • • The Miss America Pageant at Seaside was over. Betsey was run-ner-up for Miss Oregon when the final votes were taken. Both Julie and Betsey’s mother gave sighs of relief. A state meet was fine, but they didn’t feel that a girl of Betsey’s age and temperament should compete in the national contest at Atlantic City. Betsey, Julie was pleased to see, was grateful for the local honors, and seemed as much relieved as anyone not to go East. Days passed swiftly, and presently it was September. She felt at ease in her work by now, and the tourist season at Bayport was practically over. Julie had heard twice from Cy, but she had refused to answer his demanding letters. \ It was late October before Julie met Mrs. Douglas. She received a formal little note, inviting her to tea on Sunday afternoon. “Adam and Millie will be there, Julie,” Jeffrey said when she told him. “I hope that you can come." "Yes, of course, I’ll be very happy to meet them all. I knew Millicent only slightly. She probably doesn’t remember me at all.” “Oh, but she does!" Jeff smiled. On Saturday Julie had her hair set, had a manicure, and anxiously checked over her wardrobe. She kept two dark dresses and a good black suit ready for instant use, as the demands on her social life had been much more frequent than she had anticipated. She was sure a black dress would be suitable for the occasion and decided on her older dress, for it was a little more simple than the newer erne with its accordion pleated skirt, and deep neckline. “Dear, you’ll look lovely. I hope you're not nervous,” tier mother said from the hall when Julie had called her m. “Yes, I think your choice of dresses is best. And your
