Jf You're Oversensitive To I Home Permanent Wave Lotions

, By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN/M.D. / ' MOST ho lie permanents are 1 harmless to the hair, skin and scalp of the -average person, if --the waving solutions are given normal use. However, there are always a few. people who are oversensitive to cold wave Iptions, and they may be bothered with a skin inflammation, or dermatitis. Others are tempted to give themselves permanents too often, - or make up their own methods in order to get qetter or cheaper re.-' suits. These people may also run ' the risk of skin and scalp troubles., Here are some of the points to „ , check, in csi,sfe wave lotibns have proved irritating. f „ Inflammation Possible A common practice is. to wear a plastic shower cap, or some such waterproof covering, after applying a waving lotion. This is harmless to some women, but' can cause an Inflammation of the scalp in others. The cap [has the [effect of preventing the jammonia in *the solution from evaporating' as quickly as it should, so that the lotion in contact with the scalp remains strong for toojong a time. I Others leaVe the waving solutibn on overflight without rinsing the hair. This is another poss. j siwe cause of irritation. If Hair Is Dyed J.. Danger to the hair itself from 4* home permanents, is also possible in some cases. When the hair has been dyed, some permanent ■ ’1: <

. The three press associations, including United Pfess, which serves this newspaper, have completed arrangements for the gathering of election, returns k>h November 4. The three news gathering agencies will speyid 3300,000 for election returns from 123,000 precjncts in 3,000 countied in the couhuy. This is in addition to\ what individual newspapers will bxpend to gather and tabulate the results from their respective coundies. It is estimated that ;lion' votes will -be cast in the presidential rape and press executives believe that the fiinal re- ‘ suit will be known before noon Os the next day, If one of the candidates should wiq a landslide. the result should be known around midnight of election day. ’ . > Act Os Mercy:— '.. The United States has completed ’delivery of 3,000,000 tons of grain lent to India under tlie terms of the emergency food loan <act,passed by Congress last year. The movement of this huge .quantity of grain by 243 cargo vessels in little more than a year is l , one /6j the miracles of modern transimportation.'' It is also a miracle of ; modern, international rdlatiVns. ■ What has this act achieved the United States? For one thing, it has reduced liuinrer a'hd eliniisTjated tire threat of fajnine in In--uia. It has given India time to achieve self-sufficiency in its ' food production/ For this the United States has achieved a certain amount of good will\ not to Jre* measured but still substantial.- .

The solution that would work on natural hair is apt td be too strong fbr bleached or dyed hair, and may lead to ioverprocessing and permanent damage may result 1 Too-frequent Waving Damage may come from waving the hair too frequently. This is especially true In women over Sixty, because of the fact that growth of new lon£ hainhas actually stopped at this age. Tpo-fre-quent waving may even cause a tendency towards baldness in older women. Most skin rashes due to waving solutions are. temporary, and clear up readily under the careful guidance of a physician. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS C. C.: I am fourteen years old and have been menstruating for two years. My periods have always been irregular, and for the ’ past three months ! have had no period at all. Do you think there, is something wtong with me? Answer: When menstrual periods first begin in a young girl, it is common for them to occur somewhat irregularly. In some instances, this irregularity may be due to a mild disturbance of the glands of Internal secretion. Occasionally, malposition of the uterus or womb may be responsible, although this is not often the cause. In any event, I do not believe there is any, need for you to feel concerned about this matter at tlie presenttime. A r '< ■ 1 f 1

Ike Denounces Sly Apostles 01 Fair Deal . Eisenhower Train Heads Down Coast Through Washington ; EN ROUTE WITH ER UP — Dwight D. Eisenhower, trying to minimize President Truman’s blunt charges that the Republicans are out to kill public power, warned against “sly apostles of Fair Dealism” who would sell the nation a “whole hog approach to public power.” Eisenhower’s 18-car special train heads down the Pacific coastline today in much the same path the barnstorming Mr. Truman took last week;. Monday night in Seattle, Wash., Eisenhower made a major answer to the President’s prediction that if the nominee won in November the voters “won’t see hny. more” big federal resources projects. > , \ I “The whole hog theory is that the federal government must do everything for us and to us,” Eisenhower said. “It holds that state and local governments are basically incompetent and behind the times.” The former five-star . general told k capacity audience of more than 6,0(M persons in Seattle’s civic ice arena that he favored feder-al-state cooperation in public power development. He flatly rejected the idea of a Columbia river valley project. Columbia basin development should bb handled by ah interstate bbdy “in accordance with state laws,” said. H Eisenhower took one of his sharpest digs at President Truman to date. “You haye been told by an expert in political demagoguery that I want to turn this -great northwest back to the prairie dogs and ’sage-brush,” the former general said. \ / u “You have been conducted through au underworld of imaginary devils. You have had a course m nonsense fiction. Eisenhbwer’s special Campaign train was sidetracked at Seattle overnight and was due to arrlve at Tacoma, Wash., at 8 a.’m. p.s.t. for his first rear-platform speech 8f the day, ' After a greeting stop at Centralia. Wash., and a rear-platform appearance at Vancouver, Wash., Eisenhower was’ scheduled “to make a in ' the Portland, Ore., Civic Auditorium at 1:30 p.m. p.s.t.' ' 1 Eisenhower’s defense of the Republican "party’s approach to power resources development was presented in the same Seattle hall in which Gov. Adlai E. Stevenson, spoke thfee weeks ago.

Stable Price Level Seen For Farmers i ; 1 f ’ 4 1 / Outlook Meeting Is Held Monday Night “A stable to slightly rising general price level can' be expected in the cdttilng year,” Howard Dlesslin, agricultural economist at Purdue University, told 74 farmers at the annual county outlook meeting in the Lincoln school, Decatur, Monday night. He emphasized that although prices of individual commodities may fluctuate widely, no major distni'bances in the ovef-all economic picture are anticipated. “Net cash income of Indiana farmers in 1553 is expected to be about the same ati in 1952 \ for those not adversely affected by weather," he added. "Prices of Hoosier farm products, which were 103 percent parity in September, 1992, are expected to continue near the parity mark next yegr. “As the peak of rearmament is reached or passed, some downward adjustment in the general level of prices is expected. When such deflation occurs, possibly in a year or two, it is not expected to be sharp or prolonged, probably comparable to the 1948-49 downturn. "Farm production costs will probably edge upward in j 053. High analysis phbsphate fertilizer supplies will be no larger than last year. .Some increase is expected in nitrogen and potash, but in some areas, these increased Supplies' will not be sufficient to meet larger demand. Good farm labor will remain serftae, probably \bec6hie even higher priced. Farm real estate taxes, Which fose about five percent in 1'952, probably will' increase further. p' “Feed grain supplies per animal unit are about the same as a year ago for the United States *but are slightly smaller for Indiana. Hay supplies are adequate but spotty in distribution. “Indiana corn prices probably will be below loan levels at harvest tithe in northern Indiana, but they will rise some through the year. “The born-hog ratio will probably be more favorable than during 1952 but below normal most of the year. A further moderate decrease in hpg numbers Is expected.

"Cattle feeding should be more profitable than during the past year, but less profitable than the average of other post-war years. The ch|ef factor pointing to higher profits is lower cost of feeder cattle. Costs bf gain in the feed lot, will be fully as high. Lightweight cattle likely will turn out ; to be one of the safer types or ftosstbly a little better. Farm prices for dairy products will be slightly higher but costs will also increase some. Net returns for the efficient dairyman should be as large or larger than last year. -The competitive position of the dairy enterprise in the farm business, which has not been good in recent years, continues to improve. "Egg prices are expected to average near the levels of a year earlier for the remainder of this year, with early 1953 prices above early 1952 levels.' The 1953 laying flock will be snialler. Broiler expansion is expected to be moderate. The large turkey crop this year will probably be marketed at prices averaging below the 38ceht fndiaria average for October to Decern J “Little hope is seen for lower farm family living, costs, in the year ahead. Food prices, except bfeef, can he expected to be above 19 i 5 l 2 levels. Clothing, household appliances, and automobiles will be a little higher in price, expect for possible occasional bargain sales and more liberal allowances on trade-ins. ‘‘lndiand-l farm real estate prices, now at their highest level in history, are expected to remain about steady in the year ahead. They rose 20 percent th? first year of the Korean war and Ift percent last year. Such rapid inare not expected to continue.” In apprising the general Outlook, Diesslin assumed that Metlon between ■ the East and West will remain at approximately the same leviel of intensity. It was assumed that governmental expenditures for national security will continue to increase according to recently revised plans from' about a 50 million dollar annual rate as mid-year to a peak of 60-55 billion dollars sometime during 1953. > • 'Paul Edward Swygart. 722 •Spencer street, Decatur, enlistbd in the regular army= for three years and 4 has been transferred to Fort Custer, Mich., for basic training* and further reassignment.

Adlai E. Stevenson by Noe! F. Busch I- A Persona! Philosophy

. Adlai (almost rhymes with “gladly”) Ewing Stevenson, thirty-sec-ond governor of the state of Illinois, is fifty-two years old, weighs one hundred and eighty-five pounds, stands five nine and a half inches and is one of the few meh in. history who has tiirned down a sure nomination for the presidency of the United States before being; elected to that office. Stevensdn has a detached viewpoint about his sudden emergence as a majqr figure on the world scene which sometimes pains and always puzzles professional pointclans. ■ ■/. Gov. Stevenson The Governor’s self-possession under (trying circumstances ,is not a newly acquired characteristic. In 1937 Stevenson and his wife, the former Ellen Borden, from whom he was' divorced in 1949, decided to build a house in the country} Six weieks after they had moved into It, the house caught fire on an evening when they were not at home. By the time the Stevensons reached the scene of thb conflagration, it' was too late for anyone to do much except stand around and watch the : structure burn to the ground. One of the neighbors who was near Stevenson in, the crowd of spectators edged over to express his sympathy. As M did so a bit of burning debris floated through the air and dropped at the owner’s feet. Stevenson picked it up (and calmly lit a cigarette With it. j. 1 “Oh, well,” he said, “as you can see, we are still using the house.” Conscience—Not Flippancy Stevensoh’s ability to 1 minor moti in moments of stress is less the result 1 of flippancy on his part than of an overly strict < conscience which obliges him to set himself unusually high stand- I ards of efficiency and deportment. 1 And it forbids him to seek the ■ sympathy of outsiders. Thus, oh i the occasion of the fire, to have betrayed hib inward feelings would ; have seemed; to Stevensoh unpar- i

• donable arid might have caused • him more remorse than the loss of • his property. i Stevenson’s habitual air of agt grieved if not downright indignant self-deprecation would be disarm- ■ ing in almost anyone, but in a man who has been widely regarded as well-qualified for the biggest job in the nation, if ’ not the world, .it seems to the casual observer especially refreshing. Political experts however take a different view about such matters. Potential presidential candidates are supposed to be over-stuffed with assurance, on the premise, that obvious self-confi-dence is the first prerequisite for enlisting the confidence of their fellow citizens. Stevenson himself is more entertained than upset by such altitudes. “I must confess,” he 1 emarked recently, “I seem to spend a lot of time reading about myself in papers and magazines these days. The awful thing is, I can’t say that I mind it much either.” “Presidential Timber” Stevenson’s announcement that he could not run for President read in full as follows: “I have been urged to announce my candidacy for the Democratic nomination for President, but I am a candidate for Governor of Illinois and I cannot run for two offices at the same time. Moreover, my duties as Governor do not presently afford the time to campaign for the nomination even if I wanted it. “Others have asked me merely to say that I would accept a nomination which I did not seek. To state my position now on a prospect so remote in time and prefoability seems to mp a little presumptuous. But I would rather presume than embarrass or mislead. “In these somber years the hopes Os mankind dwell with the ta’esident of the United States. From such dread responsibility one does not shrink in fear, self-interest or humility. But great political parties, like- great nations have no indispensable man, and last January before I was even considered for the Presidency, I announced that I would seek re-election as Governor of Illinois. Last week I was nominated in the Democratic primary. It is the highest office within thb gift of the citizens 0f Illinois, arid its power for good or ill ovdr their lives is correspondingly great. No onfe should lightly aspire to it or lightly abandon the quest once begun. '7 - \ ■ “The long agony that followed was never about what I wanted to do—l had already settled that. It was the result of an increasing pressure to get me to do something 1 different.” But the questions that confronted the Democratic National Convention were only two. One was whether it really wanted the best; and the other was whether, if it did want the best, it had thb courage and fhb common sense to get
