Air Often Helps Wobnd Healing

By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. ! FIRST aid for cuts or wounds often calls for a bandage or dressing. has taught us, however, that such injuries do not always have the best chance to heal If we keep them bandaged too long. Often, it is better to leave a cut or wound open to the air. ' An injured animal uses this treatment tfhen it keeps its wound open-and cleans it by licking. This may have something to do with the interesting fact that ; wounds in animals tend to heal more rapidly a..d with less infection than in man. May Encourage Germs I y Many surgeons have taken this ’ hint and leave wounds unbdnd- | aged, even following an operation? They point out that instead of protecting toe wound against germs andlbacteria, a bandage may tend to make the wound! a “test tube” for growingp&ny cfenns that happen to get into it. : It Is possible for a bandage to * produce just the kind of dark, moist living conditions that , germs breed in. 'I t.,. '? ; Even in skin grafting, where ! bandages are the rule, many of : the bandages used are unnecessary according to the foregoing " line of thought. One doctor has reported over 300 surgical cases ‘ without bandages which showed no danger of infection. ! sometimes, it is a good idea to leave on dressings for short periods of time, perhaps 24 hours

.of the project. Those who have tried to build up great collections ol books have discovered ‘that money is not everything. Os eer i tain rarities the supply is exceedingly, scarce, sometimes confined to public institutions Which are ndt- allowed to part with 'their possessions. It is saf; to say that a new library l:;idX-a billion doll-i’s. it would l>cmany years, if ever, before it coilld rival the of others which have bctn collecting for generations. o o r '. • The Defense Department obligati d and sp< nt $61,900,000,000 in the ytar,ending June 30 for national defense. Another 53% billions bavm bien appropriated for the army, navy and airforce for thercurrent fiscal yeap The price of d< ft ijs« is dear, and the foremost reason why our taxes are high.. However, if the United . States did not oppose Russian ag- , grt ssion. this country.and the free ~ nations of the world would topple under the weight of Communism, which would not only bankrupt this country, but aiso destroy the. freedom we enjoy. And if a war i< prevented, tIR cost of national defence is a good investment o ~c State highway commissioner Jap Jones has advanced a sound and piac ical way of raising <*Qore money for the impiiivkment \nd building of \roads. He doesn’t 4 ■■ -V minimatters.- He advocates a boost of two cents in the state ■gasoline tax. The demand’ for more rdads and modernization of old highways is so heavy l , that the highway commission can in no way, meet the situation without mofe funds, Mr. .Jones explained.; He recommends that old roads be widened to 24 fee/ and. that mW stretches of duablane highways b.e constructed. The present ifdur-cent gas tax raises about dollars and a |wo cent boost would increase the amount approximately $.“3,000,000. Our highways are used and worn out by trucks and passenger cars and for' that reason the cost' o/ main: i nance and construction should borne by motor vehicles . and no: placed cji farm lands and city property.

after an injury; in most cases, they are not needed any longer than this. There is usually less infection if dressing and bandages are not applied. « ' The. open-air treatment is also helpful in preventing unsightly scars, spehas those on the face. Doctors; have noticed that facial scars -from severe cuts and in-, juries heal much more neatly without bandages, and are less visible after/healing. Only Thing for Child Os couiue, this does not mean that dressings should never be used. A bandage is often the only thing that will keep a small child from sticking his fingers into a wound or getting it unnecessarily dirty. " A Unconscious patierits, such as those recovering from an anesthetic, should have their wounds by bandages. It is also helpful to bandage injuries that would be repulsive to other people, so the patient can get around, and perhaps out of doors, while the wound is healing. \ QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS L.

SYNOPSIS Nance and young Doctor Jeremy Ireland are about to be married in the small town ot Thurstonia when beautiful. wealthy, calculating Eye Romley comes into their lives. She has returned to this small hamlet to seek revenue on the Ireland family. Once bri< tly in childhood they had adopted her. but because of her vicious, little, ways, had returned her to an orphan* age. She conspires now to meet their son. the doctor, begs his help tn the matter of finding new friends, sipce she means to live permanently in Thurstoma. Sorry for this lovely, lonely girl, Jeremy introduces her to Nance. CHAPTER EIGHT JEREMY, driving slowly and scrutinizing the houses on his side, was not listening to them. "Here,” he said,gulling over to the curb. "I knew I remembered a For Sale sign along here somewhere;” Eve gave the house a cursory gin nee, rejected it with, "Too big.” and Jeremy let out the clutch. “There’s that little stucco bungalow on the Drive,” Nance suggested. "Remember, Jeremy? The one we looked at. Only we want more space. We’ve got five acres, Eve. We’re going to have a garden and an orchard.” “And jlogs and kids,” Jeremy added. Coldly Eve commented, "How nice.” ■ \ Her chilly tone, surprising Nance, stopped the surge of excitement that always came to heri' when shethought of the house Jeremy would build for her. j The stucco, Eve said critically, was peeling off the bungalow, and the frame house they showed her was, she said, impossible with all that gingerbread. I “You’d better turn me over to a real estate agent,” Eve said, after an unprofitable hour. “I’nl spoiling y6ur evening.” She said it to both of them, but across Nance her eyes sought Jeremy’s appealingly. "It’s all right,” he said. i "Jeremy,” Nance said impulsively, “let’s drive out to the lake for a swim. If you’d like it, Eve? Or after your experience in the river, do you stay away from water?” "Isn’t it policy,” Eve asked, "to climb back' on the horse that throws you?”

Nance nodded approvingly. "We keep swim suits in the luggage compartment all summer." "I have one at the hotel,” Eve said. "We<ll stop by for it.” The lake was five miles out of town. It was mirror smooth and held the sky’s sunset flames and the inverted images of elms and poplars on the shore. There was a strip of beach and a. ? bathhouse where they changed. I • F Jeremy challenged, “Race you to the raft!” and Nance ran with him into the water, then flattened and swam. Halfway to the raft, she thought, Where’s Eve? She trod water and looked back. Eve was at the water’s edge, crouched, dabbling her toes. Nance waved for her to coma on, and continued after Jeremy. When they climbed on the raft, Nance said, “She is afraid." "Eve? If she is—of anything— I’ll swallow my scalpel !” "Weren’t you listening when she was telling us how she almost drowned?” • "Only half . . . And here she comes.” Jeremy reached both hands down to lift Eve up beside them. She stumbled on the slippery planks, and Jeremy’s hands stayed a moment on her shoulders, steadying her. When he let her go, Eve sat hugging her knees, rocking her body slowly back and forth. Drops of water beaded her skin. Fascinated, Nance watched the minute spherules slide and merge and trickle down the smooth legs to tapered ankles. She is beautiful, Nance thought. And meeting Jeremy’s eyes, she caught him sharing the thought. A small breeze came from nowhere, shook across the lake, corrugating the water. The imprisoned images shivered. Nance felt a sudden unaccountable chill. "Cold?’’ Jeremy asked, seeing her huddle into herself. "No.” Eve was smiling. Presently, from a water-proofed pocket she produced cigarettes. \ t They smoked companionably. Nance, watching the slow climb of

smoke disintegrate in the graying twilight, felt the silence become unfriendly, unharmonious. It had no unity; 1 There was an insulating vacuum ’around the thought patterns of! each of them, and no means of communication. Nance felt isolated. Eve was a shadow in shadows now, nebulous, mysterious. Who was she;? Nance asked herself. Why had she come here ? Why, of all the doctors in Thurstonia who might have fitted as well into her ruse of the faked sore throat, had she chosen Jeremy? Coincidence has an Extraordinarily long arm, but it did stretch credence th the limit for Eve to choose by sheer chance the youngest and the most attractive of-the town’s medical men. i She shivered again, and this time she-said, “I am’cold. I’m going to get dressed.” • Moments later, with scarcely a splash to mark the place of her immersion, Nance was swimming upward ; through cool, caressing darkness. .. '■ Vshe surfaced, gulped air gratefully, arid looked around. The raft was abandoned. Jeremy, accommodating his masterly crawl obligingly to Eve’s choppy side stroke, was heading for the shore, too. , Narice plunged her face into the water and left a churn of white water in her wake. At hbme, garaging the car, Jeremy asked, "Like her?” "No.” - The negative was unequivocal. Perhaps unfair. But she couldn’t at the moment modify it. j : 1 ’ ’• "Why not?” "Oh, call it intuition. Don’t ask me why.” I just don’t, that’s ail.” She spdke crossly, and Jeremy stared at her a moment, and then shrugged. \ Oh, what Is the matter with me? she asked herself Sharply as she went upstairs. After all my fine talk, I’m certainly not jcglous! I’m tired. Tve worked, too hard all week. Mother is right. I’ll be it jangle 0/ nerves for the wedding. As she undressed, she kept seeing Jeremy'a hands on Eve’s handsome white shoulders. \ /To Be Continued) j.

Young Imitators Provoke Comics i Martin-Lewis Don't Relish New Team, HOLLYWOOD, UR — As if one Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis team wasn’t hectic enough around here, Hollywood now houses two Dean Martins and Jerry Lewises, and the original team is so amazed thei’ might sue. The latest “Martin and Lewis” are Duke Mitchell and Sammy Petrillo. They look, talk, laugh and sing like Dean and Jerry, and they’re in the movies now;, too. Independent producer Jack Broder starred Mitchell and Petrillo in “Bela Lugosi Meets the Brooklyn Gorilla.” Border says Martin and Lewis asked to see the movie, and the producer has a telegram saying the famed comics will go tit) court if their young carbon copies continue the act. Mitchell and Petrillo, however, insist they don’t see “any resemblance.” . “They’re the greatest comedy team In the business,” shrugged Mitchell. “We’re not trying to take anything away from them. \ye plan to continue in 4hi» business, and we ‘think the public accepts us on our own talent.” Mit< hell and Petrillo havd the same haircuts, expressions, gestures and even ancestries of Mar, tin, who’s Italian, and Lewis, who’s Jewish. T - Mitchell, the singer, claims his hair “just happens to fall oi} my forehead—l can’t help • it.” And Petrillo; the comic, says he’s worn a butch haircut since he was eight years old, and was doing his act on a Phoenix, Arix., radio station years hefote he first saw Lewis in a New York theater. Mitchell and Petrillo had single club acts before they teamed up here a year ago. Everybody in show business, they added, is a ‘‘combination of everybody else,” anyway. “Chaplin is the only original comic,” said Petrillo, and hid his face in his arm like Lewis does. "If it wasn't for Minosha Skulnic a Jewish com(e, Harry Ritz and Gene Bayless, Jerry Lewis wouldn’t have an act. And that trick be does with his upper lip he got from liuntz Hall.” ' \ Erosion Loss in U. 8. Estimate* are that* the U.
