Some Abnormalities May Be Traced To Measles

7 THE Question of why some few .* v children should be, born with bodily deformities has always aroused great interest both among ; the public and the profession. •j Os late years, much attention has been focused on this problem and a'number of scientists believe they have found at least one answer—German measles in the expectant mother. ■ On the basis of a questionaifq sent-out to 82 mothers concerning 84 babies, it was found that congenital abnormalities were /»present in 87 percent of the babies 1 when German measles occurred < In the mother during the first three months of pregnancy. It was also fouhd that these deformities were present in percent of the babies when German measles occurred during thie second three-month period of pregnancy. It was noted that German measles had no effect on the baby when it occurred in the mother 1 during ttye last three months of pregnancy.The types of which appeared in the children | [were 3 congenital heart disease, cataract of the eye, malformed teeths deafness, and even* mental deficiency. Many times, miscarriages of still--7 births attributed to other were actually found to Be due to German measles in the expectant mother. < ■'"![• I - A study was carried out to de- 1 tetmide possible means of preventing the . occurrence of Ger-1

This community will be happy to welcome Leo R. Dowling, assistant dean’of men at University on his visit here next Wednesday to give two lectures at the Adams County Teachers* institute. Dean Dowling was born in this city and was graduated from the Decatur Catholic high school in 1931. In addition to receiving his degree from Indiana University, he has studied in France and Mexico and is one of \ the recognized educators in the state. The subject of his talks before the local teachers will be, “Problems in International Education” and “Getting the American Story Across.”' County Superintendent Hansel Foley, who engag-x ed Dean Dowling for the one day teachers’ session, cordially invites Decatur friends to attend the institute \ ——o—--Os News:— .4 The \ Federal Communications? Commission is urging enactment Os a law against the transmission of information usable in gamboling. The commission opposes a proposed law which would require licenses for transmitting such information except for newspapers \ and regular broadcasters. It is true that if gamblers could not get information On the events on which they bet there would be a serious crimp In their activities. But What “information usabl‘6 in gambling”? The Treasury balance is sometimes used in determining policy racket winners. Bets are made on the result of every sports event and therp is a good deal of betting on elections. Could this \fact make publication of the prediction polls and the results of the elections gambling information? A prohibition on the right of radio and newspapers to transmit and receive information would be an infringement of the freedom of tire press. Newspapers depend on the remarkable system of communication built-up for the transmission of news. An agency which controlled transmission would control what could be broadcasted and printed. Relentless war on criminals must be waged, but freedom of the press must not be impaired in the fight. Freedom to communicate news is essential to the freedom to publish it. A

man measles in expectant mothers. Concentrated gamma globulin and pooled plasma have recently been used as a preventive when it was found that the pregnant woman had been exposed to. German measles. However, this method of prevention is probably valueless once symptoms of the disease have developed, because the virus that causes the disease has very likely reached the unborn saby by that time. “ The highest incidence of German measles occurs during April and May. Because of this, it might be of value to advise expectant mothers to avoid contact; t with children an£ other persons who might have been exposed to German measles. , i T ' ,g QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS M. D. R.t What \ causes bags under the eyes? Answer: Puffiness under the eyelids frequently; comes \ from Itck of rest and sleep. • If you are getting sufficient rest and are taking the proper exercise each day, and the rings still persist, it may be because there is some disturbance in the water balance in the body. Some individuals have tissues which hold more water than others, and it is this collection of fluid in the body which causes puffiness under the eyes. . There is no need to wory about this matter, for the condition -can i cause do trouble.

CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE RESENTMENT over tonight’s incident; caused Julie to take each other incident out and have a look al It. She wondered if Mrs. Douglas had known the people from Salem were coming. She had Arely known anyone just to "drop in,” because Jeff’s mother herself was too format I'll wager they nad an invitation, and she kept Jeff there on purpose tonight!

Julie felt like giggling a little. She also felt a prick of shame. She came out to the hall and' walked down the stairs to meet him as he came up the steps. Tm sorry, Jeff, that I didn’t leave you a note. I went out to dinner and the show.” U Two large drops of perspiration rolled off Jeff’s forehead. "I had that coming to me, I suppose, but, Julie, please don’t ever do this to me again,” he groaned. , Putting his arms about, her, he pulled her to him and kissed her.

coat. "Darling, I —it was mean of me, but then I was hurt when you broke our date.” "Date?” he stared at her uncomprebendingly. "Oh, Julie, Julie, you little goose! I’d have taken you tomorrow night." "I wanted to go tonight It was Sunday—our day, you know." "You didn’t begrudge me the evening with old friends, did you?” “You didn’t begrudge me a dinner and the show?” she countered. "That was different” J . "I don’t think so. Not a bit!” Julie turned and went back into the bedroom. He followed her. She broke into a torrent of sobbing. "It’s all right, darling. Don't cry" , \ “Jeff, we were quarreling. I can’t bear it” “I’m a no-good lout! Pm sorry as anything. It will never happen again honey. I’d lots rather have been with you.” That ntght Julie lay awake long after Jeff’s steady breathing told her he was asleep. It would happen again, she was sure. How far should a wife go iri scaring her husband with his mother? The clock downstairs strtick one, eventually she fell asleep. For two weeks Jeff did not ask her to go with him to his mother’s although she knew that he’d left the store a few times early to drop by before coming home to dinner. Then one evening she said to him, ’Td like to go with you, Jeff, to see your mother next time you go." He nodded. "She’s feeling so much better. I think she’ll plan to spend Christmas Day with us, if you want her." “Os course! How nice!” That started a whole course of planning. She’d ask her parents, too. She’d never spent Christmas away from them. She remembered her promise to Carol to help trim the tree at home. Jeff’s mother came two days before Christmas with her bag and gifts. Julie greeted her warmly. The plan to go to the Thorndykes’ had to be changed, of course. Julie tried to get Mrs. Douglas to go with her and Jeff, but she was unable to persuade her. . _

["Darling, why don’t you go alone?” Jeff asked. ,‘ "Jeff!" Julie cried. "Why, I’d not think of such a thing!" She went on, "They have so much company, anyway, they’ll not miss me.” She knew that the family had counted on ner and Jeff. They'd meant to spend the night in Julie's old’room at home, getting up early to unwrap presents as of old, then hastening home to dinner. Christmas was to be divided among three places, for they were expected to go to Mllly’s on Christmas afternoon to see their tree. Julie set her teeth and got through Christmas, catering to every suggestion that Mrs. Doug? las made, with the exception of the plea that she, too, repeated that Julie go and spend Christmas Eve with her parents. I won’t go alone, Julie thought doggedly. She could be big for once. It was a sacrifice but she made it cheerfully staying home with Jeff and his mother. At the last moment, Adam and Milly came to Jeff’s house, too, on Christmas Day. There was so much excitement and confusion with the Thorndykes, Kate, Alex’s girl friend, besides Mother Douglas, that Julie felt limp when she finally crept into bed at midnight. Jeff had taken his mother home about five o’clock and he had not returned until ten. "Thought I’d give you a chance to catch your breath, dear,” he explained. “Nice of you,” Julie said, but there was no warmth in her tone. "We had guests about eight. The gang from the ■ adio station. I cut the last fruit cake, and made more eggnog. They left just before you drove in.” She had been miserably embarrassed because Jeff had not returned before then. They had kidded her because she was alone. Jes. said gently, "Honey, I’m sorry. 1 just seem to get more blundering as time goes on. If you’ll forgive me this once. Til promise to call you. if anything delays me again." “Os course, dear. But the next time I’ll not forgive you,” said Julie firmly. Enough’s enough, she told herself angrily. i _ i (To Be Continued;

Homemaking Tips by Evelyn Gerke Assistant Scratches and Dente

Once the smooth plate of an electric iron Is scratched or the edge dented, ft will never Iron so well again. As it moves over fabric. It is likely to eateh and pull or snag. Never scrape off sticking starch With a knife or other sharp tool. If housewives remember this, many scratches will be prevented To clean tbs plate while the Iron is hot, mb it back and forth over dry salt on a sheet of paper. When the iron is cool, starch may be rw moved by rubbing with very fine steel wool or mild scouring powder on a damp cloth. On a hot iron steel wool or damp cloth becomes too hot to handle, and scouring powder sticks. Most housewives know that a little paraffin applied to the hot plate during the ironing of starched clothes protects against sticking starch. But once the starch has scorched on, paraffin will not remove It. Dents and rough places at the edge of the plate often result when the iron takes a tumble. Any remedy for scratches and dents? Have a new sole .plate pat on. Children's Clothing Based bn Size, Not Age Children's clothing is being developed by some manufacturers according to the size of the child, rather than the age. The change has come about through the standardization Os sizes. There is a trend in that direction for many garments. Sizing usually is\by age, but all children of a certain age are not the same size and build. This causes fitting problems. Furthermore, sizes in various types of clothing vary so greatly that a

I • CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX . WINTER faded pleasantly into an early spring. Julie was restless to get her yard work done. "There’s so much to do every day,” Julie said one evening at dinner. "Just look at my nails! I forgot to put |on my gloves.” "I hate to see you scratch your hands so, Julie. Look at your poor nails! How long since you*rs had a manicure?” “Oh, just about three weeks Jeff. But I’ve not gone to any parties lately. I must get the rest of the bulbs in this week. "Julie, let me have a landscape man come out.” “Oh, no, Jeff! He’d charge outrageous prices. I’ve asked your mother’s man about these things. He helped me make some of our charts.” "Mother said she’d let him come and spend two or three days a week working for us. Let me get him.” "No!” she said stubbornly. "I just don’t want film unless we pay him, and she wouldn’t let us.” “Darling, isn’t that being a. little mulish? He doesn’t earn his keep some days.” “Every time I accept your mother’s generosity, I hear about it later,” she said. Jeff laid down his fork. "I' do think, dear, that is the most unkind thing I’ve ever beard you say. It’s not like you.” 1 knew he’d feel this way, thought Julie. I knew he’d take his mother’s side. She’s ever so careful never to let Jeff and Adam hear her say any of the cruel things she has said to Millicent and is now saying to me. Julie did not attempt to clear herself in Jeff's eyes. She drank her coffee, scalding the roof of her mouth. Jeff did not pursue the subject, either, and as soon as he'd finished dessert, he said, “That was a very good dinner, dear.” • , "Thank you,” she said in a stilted voice. She got up and began to remove the dishea. “May I help you wash them?” asked Jeff. “Yea Yas, you may.” She handed him a tea towel, she had worked outdoors all afternoon, and her cheeks were flushed from exercise, her eyes bright with anger.

child co«M be wearing different sizes in his wardrobu Through the cooperation of the United States bureau ot standards, measuremests were taken of about 147,000 children throughout the United States. From this, a new set of standards wae established for the measurements of children’s clothing. With this height-weight grading, a garment will fit a child of a certain size of one height and weight only. The label on these garments gives the weight, height, and waist measurement. The parents can select a garment according to the ' body measurements. Since children’s clothing has been sold according to age for a long time, manufacturers are including age along with the body measurements on the labels. Specifications have been worked oat not only for children’a and lafant’a sizes but also for older girls and boys. The standards for girls were set op after an analysis of the body measurements of 25,000 teenage girls. For better fIL sizes were set up for and teenage girla. The standardization in the size of clothing makes it simpler for paresis. It oaves time, energy, and money, and helps remove some pf the guesswork. Fewer garments must be returned because of incorrect sizes. Woman Sentenced On Manslaughter Charge Indianapolis, Aug. 25 — (UP) — Mrs. Ethel Loen Moore, 26, was sentenced to a two-to-21 year prison term yesterday by Marion criminal judge Saul L Rabb on a charge of manslaughter. Mrs. Moore stabbed another woman to death in a dispute over a package of cigarets.

"Let's run into town and see • show, honey,” aaid Jeff. "AH right, thanks; rd tike to. There’s a good one at the Oregon.” While she dressed, she found herself shaking once or twice. Tsars oozed out of her eyes. Jeff thinks I’m mean. He'D just have to keep or thinking It, or else discover all by himself that he’s wrong! "Darling, Tm sorry I was hasty at dinner,” Jeff said on their way to town. “Guess TD never understand women.” “Don’t try to, Jeff. Mother's older than we are, and sensitive* "You’re sweet to overlook things, darling. 1 can’t understand Mother. If you can handle her you deserve a gold star.” i / "Let’s forget it Let’s not even mention it again. Here we are, and look! There are the Curtises going into the lobby!” It was a nice eventag. The two couples sat together ta the small theater, laughed over the comedy, and went to The Nereus after the show and danced untn midnight "What a night’” laughed Julie on the way home. “A big one for Bayport!” agreed Jeff. “Darling, what’s become of your intention to go into engineering?” Julie said suddenly out of the quiet just before they turned into their drive. "Funny that you should ask that now. I have an appointment for lunch tomorrow with the superintendent of construction of the new turning basin that’s going in this summer. I wanted to wait to tell you till I had something definite to 3.” \ ulie kissed him as he turned off ignition in the garage. Tra thrilled, Jeff. I'll wait tiU tomorrow and good luck to you, sweetheart." Julie loved every inch of her house. They were still on a strict budget, and she took pride in her account book. She had managed to save on the household allowance, and Jeff was pleased with her. They had talked until almost one o'clock last night If Jeff went into the engineering field again, it would mean he’d sell the sports shop. Not immediately, for they would want to be sure the new venture was going to work out.
