Watkins’ first announcement of plans for his campaign for governor carried the specific pledge to “stay out of Legion halls.” The lieutenant governor, nominated by the Democratic staid’ convention June 24, asserted that “as an active Legionnaire for 25 years, a former , post, district and state commander, I have the utfiiost respect for the constitutional provision that the. American Legion is not to be used in f 'way to prqmbte a political candidate. I Even if there were po such constitutional t provision I would consider it poor politics, knowing as I do the traditional resentment of the rank-and-fild- Legionnaire against attempts to make it a political machine for one party oif another.” ! ■ - —•■ ,\. .

Vitamins Used for Skin Ills

By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D.i : ■ 1 VITAMINS may be the answer . to many cases of acne that plague adolescents and young adults.; I have seen many growing girls an<2 boys become very self-con- 1 sc.ious over a bad acne of the face, which can be greatly disfiguring. ! Their parents, too, would give a great deal tor some treatment that,would clear up the trouble as soon as possible. Gland Disturbance Acne is essentially a disturbance of, glands, known as the sebaceous glands, that secrete an oily substance into the skn. This condition leads to a blackhead, behind which forms a pimple with pus, or a cyst, with later scarring. \ Many doctors believe that acne Is really due to an imbalance of hormones in the body, which may be present during adolescence. The fact that vitamins help certain skin diseases has bebn known-for many years, and vitamin A has long been used with good results in severe cases of acne. * . Mixture of Vitamins Recently, a vitamin preparation containing a mixture Os nearly all the essential vitamins was given to forty patients with acne. The vitamin solution was Injected into a muscle at weekly intervals over an eUB-moffth

Wjatkins asserted he would make a “hard-hitting, but 1 constructive drive fop the governor’s office.” ‘ '■ It has been my good fortune to be an integral part of Henry j; Schricker’s splendid administration and my campaign will be centered around the solemn promise 'to carry on his widely respected type of public service.” 11 ■ . . Merging Interests:— i American farmers are better customers for petroleum products \ than any other group in j the ! United States, including the armed forces, an oil industry information group revealed recently. The fact seems surprising but it to illustrate the interdependence of all economic and occupational groups in the United Sta|fcs. f! ' Oil producers depend on farm patronage for income and on farm 1 productivity for: food. Farmers in iurn need oil to keep high and need the mopey spent by oil producers to buy new machinery and the goods and services which cannot be provided by a farmer for himself. The list of groups which depend on one another Is endless-. 4 Workmen need capitalists to 1 proOvide jobs and pay salaries. Capitalists need customers who use their salaries to make purchases. The description of the process of interdependencej could become more and more complicated. ■ ' But it must be apparent that the well-being of each individual group is essential to the wellbeing of all the others. Too often in’the midst of labor dispute's and conflicting group interests this is forgotten. No single economic or occupational group in this country can prosper unless all the 'others : ' - j ",i ■. '! ', " do. Nor can we prosper for long unless other nations do.

After a long time Paul went to bed, and lay there, not sleeping. Long ago Jonathan had said, without envy. “You’ve had it pretty easy, Paul.” | Perhaps, until now, he had not wholly recognized that truth. The things other men found difficult had not seemed so to him. He had never minded a lack of material resources: he had always had enough to eat and drink: a roof over his tall head: clothes to cover his big body. He had lost his mother, yes, but had not known, so could hot tnourn her. His stepmother sufficiently loved tilth, and he her. He had never lacked for affection and understanding. His student days had not been hard: he had found adventure in learning, satisfaction In knowledge. His affiliation with his first church had been exciting and fulfilling; his service during the war: his present service. His angers, resentments. and any anguish had been, in. a sense, impersonal, concerned with great issues: man’s inhumanity to man, man’s eburage and sacrifice with the odds against him. man’s despair and salvation. He had seen many die, quietly in their beds or by idiotic violence. His anger and resentment had heen directed against that violence. / In his personal life there had been no Intimate grief until now. No, -this was the first bitter cup. and by his choice, he himself -filled and drank from it. For, granting freely that perhaps she did not now love him, she might have come to love him. pl He did not expect that anyone ’would understand that, to him, was renunciation; nor his reason. He would not ask ftnyfrne to understand. None of thfc earth, and .mortal. ■ , 1 fc He had known, from the first, that this was the way he must I travel, the lonely way; yet until tonight had not wholly admitted it but argued, doubted and hoped. || He became aware of a sudden [quiet in the room, yet louder than ;the noises of the street below. It took him a moment to realize the source. A clock had stopped its [ticking, a shelf clock. He had forgotten to wind it. It was a clock .which had once traveled by clipper to China, with\his grandfather, 'Timothy Lennox; and had been returned to the country of its origin, jmany years later. The ancestral

Paul rpse, put on a light, and wound the clock. Then he went back to bed and listened to the minutes tack away, into Eternity. A days or so later when he reached home and let himself in, Mrs;. Eagle came out to meet him. She said, “There’s someone to see you . . .’ she wanted to Wait . . "A Miss Marrow. 1 ? Paul w|nt upstairs. He thought. What on earth ... ? Now what? Has that; incredible woman dismissed her, and if so, how can I go about finding her another place, and, please God, a better one? Emily Marrow sat on the edge of the comfortable chair in the study. She must have been twisting her handkerchief in her hands: she dropped it now and Paul picked it up, it was like a little, and damp. She said, on her feet, 5 "I’m sorry to trouble you, Mr. Lennox.” “No trouble,” he said, smiling, “come sit down again, try to relax ... I hardly dare ask why you’re herd . J . whatever the reason, it’s my fsjult.” \ She said earnestly, “NO, oh, no, Mr.' Lcniipx.” Her eyes were full of tears, the tears crept down her face, she took off her glasses, wiped her eyes with the twisted handkerchief and blinked at him. ’’No one [has ever ... I mean, you stood up for me, Mr. Lennox." He said, “Look here, Miss Marrow, you; don’t have to stay with Mrs. Murchison, you know. I should have told you that long ago, for it has always been evident to me that you are not happy with her. Given a little time, I can certainly find something for you, a place in which you will be useful and content” She said, “It’s too late. After you’ve been in a cage a long time you’re afraid to go out, even if the door: is open.” She began to shake like an animal. “Mr. Lennox, it was because of me you lost the money,” she said simply. Sho took her handbag, and hunted ’ in it, found a savings account book and held R out to him. “I ddn’t know if this is enough.” He looked at the pitifhl row of figures, five dollars, ten, twentyfive, fifty, This book had gone through many editions, over A Ipng period of years. He said, holding it in his big hands, “Il remember you told tne long ago you were saving to go into a home, Miss Marrow.” Her chih shook. “I—there’s lots of time. Os course,” anxiously, “it’s still her money. Does that make a difference? I earned it,”\ she explained, flpshing, “doesn’t that make It right ? I’ve saved all these years from my salary, Christmas presents .. and sometimes Mrs. Murchison is very generous, right out of a clear sky she’ll give me something extra and say, ’Here, put this away.’ Maybe I shouldn’t say this, but she’s always promised to leave me something, too.” With impunity, he thought,; as Mrs. Murchison will probably outlive you. , “Miss Marrow,” he said, “I am infinitely touched. But I can't take it" ' r “Please,” she asked, “why not? I truly don’t need it, I have so few expensed. I ha v e my room and

No one else would, ever." ’■' “She knows you came here ?” “Mercy, no!

I have to be in “You won’t reconsider?" "No’’ She asked with a flash of unexpected humor, "You won’t will you?"; i Paul shook his head. And then Emily? said briskly, "I don’t suppose I; should tell you this but she —Mrs. Murchison —has been calling up people.” “1 know, they’ve called me." He rose and took her small hands, no longer dry but moist and cold to touch. ; “Put your things on, and I’ll take you back.!* “Oh, no,” \ she cried, distracted, “you mustn’t bother, it’s late. Please don’t trouble to come with pic, Mr. Lennox." “I want to go,” he said. They went downstairs. Paul hailed s cab. He said, “Miss Marrow, let me try again to say how profoundly grateful I am. Everything will work out all right, you’ll see. And I shall call on Mrs. Murchison. Not tp repudiate my stand; for J am firtnly convinced that it is right; or, as I see it . . . But J must try to achieve some sort of reconciliation. You spoke a white ago of need; you said she needed you. We don’t need the money, but she needs the church. To ba the means of turning her from it is a betrayal of my trust” Ha thought a moment and then added, but not as if he spoke to her, “Yet I could not do otherwise than J did.” When they stood on the steps of the Murchison house, as .Emily fumbled* for her key, the do o t opened ; and Agatha, resplendent, filled the space. She wore brown velvet, all her diamonds, and her face was thickly suffused with blood. Paul thought, wilfully, “How now,'bpown cow," which was something for which he must ask forgiveness, being, if apt, unchristian. “Well,” said Agatha, surveying them, “an unexpected pleasure." Emily began to drop things and to stammer. She said, with despair, “I didn’t think. .. that is, J thought you’d be much late?.” “Obviously,” said Agatha. “But 1 came right home, had a headache. It was something of a shock, when I went to your room, to find you’d sneaked out, Emily.” Paul said, “This Is hardly a place for discussion.

Halted in mid-pounce, she was staggered. “No?” she repeated; :hen, “Why have you come -here, Paul ?” He said, and saw with relief that Emily had slipped from the room like a shadow, “Mainly to ask you that whatever resentment you bear be toward me: not toward Miss Marrow, who in no way merits it, nor to your church. For it belongs to you, as you do to it. I do not know how much of comfort and guidance, how much of joy you derive from it. I hope, all gifts. Perhaps you get Only the satisfaction of belonging, of tradition; a familiar structure, a familiar pew. Even that’s better than nothing. But I do ask you to divorce our personal quarrel from the church, and bear your ill will toward me only. What I did was of my deciding." She asked curiously, “If I offered you the check, would you take it now?”

“No.” He looked at her as if he did not see her; then his eyes blazed blue and, to\ her astonishment, h? laughed. “Good thing I didn’t say yes, isn’t it? For you had no intention of offering it.” It was her turn to say, “No,” with her mouth drawn tight, “I’m not tempted,” he told her, and laughter was still in his eyes. Then they were grave again. “For nothing has changed, no circumstance. It’» just the same;” i “Do sit down,” Agatha ordered crossly, “you loom over me. I don't like it I know something about people, and a lot about Emily. You come riding up on a white horse and make her a personal crusade," she went on shrevydly, “and humiliate me, into

No wonder she clutched at the bankbook and jumped,on her own high horse.” He said, "Maybe you’re partially right; but not wholly.” She said, f “Come, Paul, you’re a strong man, you’re young, you have twice as much vitality as you need. You’re a clergyman, and a good, one, even if I don’t always agree with your sermons and some of the things you do; but you’re not a saint. You can’t tell me you’re not often irritated by weakness . . ." He said, 'Tm afraid I axil.” "Well, that’s it,” ssud Agatha triumphantly. “If she’d stood up to me all these years—but she didn’t” He rose. ‘You don’t expect me to accept that as a valid excuse?” “No,” she admitted. “And my headache’s no better.” “I’m going," said, and held out his hand. She put her own into it, an hand heavy with rings. And he saidr releasing it, “If not friends, then hoivst enemies? Because I retract nothing, you understand. Good night and God bless I you." ' 7 ' Funny, she thought, as the door closed, he means that, and went upstairs to enter Emily’s room without knocking and demand, "Why on earth are you such an idiot? Oh, don’t look at me like that. I’ve made up with your precious hero, and not a penny the poorer . . . Go downstairs and fix yourself sojne hot milk, for heaven’s sake, and let us get some sleep!” Paul went to his room and remained for some tiipe, emptying his mind and heart and spirit so that, in the quiet waiting, they might be replenished with strength and guidance. Before he slept, his last conscious thought was not of the prayers, just offered, nor of the evening, lately past, but, with misery close to dread, of Connie. For tomorrow when he woke iti would be necessary for him to speak and arrange to see her. \ During the week, Rhoda called her. “How about dinner Friday?” she inquired. “I can’t promise Jon will remain thrqugh the banquet but Paul’s coming.” She was inclined to refuse. Why go, of\what use? But the heart is fashioned to retain not only hope but a form of curiosity. What will he say; how look? So, on Friday,, she dressed with great care and as she >sat before the mirror Elsie came prowling in, her face tense. And watching Connie brush her beautiful, heavy hair, she asked, “Why don’t you give over, lamb? He’s not for you.” • Connie’s quick temper rose and she was sjlent, afraid to speak, and not knowing, if she spoke, what to say. Neither Elsie nor Grace had ever taxed her directly, not since the very first had they ever teased her, concerning Paul; She sensed their attitude,’ but as long as it went undiscusscd she could ignore it. They liked Paul, they had pften assured her, offhand—the unuttered “but” remained, as it were, in the air. , , : She turned, saw the unhappiness in Elsie’s restless eyes, her anger faded, she was instantly aware of the older woman’s affection and concern. So she said, trying to divert the conversation into «afpr channels, “Granted. But It pays to look one’s best, Jon might produpe, an eligible patient\. . . by which I mean, male, unencumbered, rich and fully restored to health.” Elsie said abruptly, “Pete hasn’t remarried. Someone wrote me from ; Chicago, said he was just the same i playing the field.” Her dark, hag- ■ gard face was rigidly controlled, i "He’s in New York. I saw it in a i column.”
