ByHERMAN N. II UNDESEN, M.D. DURING pregnancy, varicose veins sometimes betome prominent and may ca.use the expectant mother soms* difficulty and worry. ,* While pregnancy is one of the most common Cannes of varicose veins, there are alnp many others. These Include overweight, -too. much standing, naturally weak veins, or tumors of the abdomen. Varicose, veins result from a weakening in the . wall of the veins, causing them to stretch and enlarge. If not controlled, the enlarged veins can cause ulcers, chronic sores find cramping of the legs. Solution Injected 4At one time It was beJieved that if a pregnant woman had varicose veins they should be left alone until after the pregnancy was successfully completed. Soane doctors are now finding it better to inject these veins with a solution that forms a clot on thh inside, thus helping to eliminate them. This Is done while* 'the woman is still carrying the tinborn baby. Usually she receives the injections once a week, i If this treatment is carried out during pregnancy, it will help prevent varicose veins fromJdeveloping and becoming permanent. However, the injections dp not prevent the development of some, large varicose veins which sometimes -nrr.hr Withnpeanancv. ;’''’ ' . 1 ■

I ■. * ; Recently, over 400 pregnant women were treated by this method instead of waiting until after childbirth. Almost one in eyery ten of the women shpwed excellent results from the injections alone. Only a small number required Surgery for\ yarlcose veins after delivery. | ’ The Injections have been found very safe and have no ill effects on the baby or mother. Thus, the . pregnant woman need not worry too much about developing varicose veins. \ . QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS M. T.: I have had a severe , cut for about three months which has failed to close. Can you help me? \ Answer: There are many reasons why cuts and sores fail to heal. The most common cause is an infection of the tissues., Many times there are dead spaces which are too great to permit healing in deep cuts; usually this type of cut has to be sutured before healing will take place. Foreign substances left in the wound or decreased circulation to the part of the body where the wound occurs may also be the cause of delayed healing. Certain chronic diseases, too, may produce this condition. x (' It would be well for you to consult your physician, for he can best determine the cause of \ this difficulty and institute Ute proper treatment.

FORBIDBffii- RIVER 4<AL CODY JT ■ >U I II ' S>

11 ■ ' CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE . THE WATER ran swiftly, deep with a glassy surface, marred by the jumble of debris. That wreckage might give Rawls and Kathleen a chance. In the confusion and vith the multiplicity of objects that dottea the surface, it waa long odds if anyone on shore had seen them. Here came something apt to their need—a big, upholstered lounging chair from one of the saloons, a touch of down-river elegance, floating upside dawn. It wasn't hard to reach and duck beneath it, to get a hold! on the ornate buttons, that fastened the tufted stuffing, \and cling there. Kathleen was relaxed as if partly dazed, and when t hey \didn't struggle, it took Only a little effort to keep afloat. \ There was an air space under the chair above the water, room enough where the arm curved for Rawls to look out at the side. With his vision restricted, he could get only a confused glimpse of the shore, but the current was carrying them toward it. Salvation and ’ disaster. The balance between the two was thin. The Sioux had swarmed along the shore for weeks, keeping out of sight but having no particular difficulty tn fallowing as fast as the boats traveled. Today they had been waiting in anticipar tion of the booty promised when the Astrid should stop for the night. Now, all need for concealment gone, they were eager for any fragment of treasure that might be washed within the if reach. ; Rawls kicked, striving to fight the strong tug of the current and keep their ungainly shelter farther out, but the big chair was grow* ing logy with water, as impossible of management as a ship without a rudder. It wouldn’t be long before it would settle to the bottom, but meanwhile it would take Its own course. It hit a jutting boulder with a dull thud, caught and hung, tipping partly up on one side, down on the other. Under them the water was shallow enough to crouch on the bottom, heads above the current, and with the chair tipped the view was wider, though scarcely better. It revealed a score of Indians along the shore, some wading out to grab at such articles as looked inviting, nope of them more than a stone’s throw away. v A noarse shout broke the uncanny silence that had followed the first disaster. Not far upstream a man struggled for footing as the piece of wreckage to which he had been clinging swept to where the water shallowed. He st o off up, floundering like an ungainly, crippled bird, all but losing his footing in the pull of the current. That he was hurt and dazed was apparent. That it was Mark Whirter was harder to believe, for he looked a crimson scarecrow. The explosion had torn most of the clothes off Whirter, leaving him clad only in his underwear—a long red garment now torn and flapping. But he had survived this far, and npw, shouting again, he splashed through the shallow water toward the beach. A score of feet out, he’halted uncertainly, passing a hand dazedly across his eyes. It was his final gesture, tor one of the warriors hurled a tomahawk. Almost before

Scottish Rite To Hold Fall Initiator!

it had struck, he rushed out to grab, his victim and drag him toward the shore. ! Kathleen gasped and turned her head away, and Rawls, feeling sick, realized that the shock was passing from per mind—the original shock. This one was almost as bad. Most of the Indians clustered about the object on the sand, then drew back as the victorious warrior stood up with his trophy and Shook it triumphantly. He gobbled' a tew words at another man who had just come up and was watching with disapproval. Jenkyif. Rawls understood the language, "Here is his hair,” the Sioux shouted at Jenkyn. “Theban in red!” It was apparent that the outlaw did not speak Indian. Another man translated. Understanding came to Rawls. His own red jacket was gone, but if the freakish nature of the explosion had torn it off him as it flung him far out into the river, so had that same | prank of the blast rewealed Whirter in red. Confirmation was in Jenkyn’s reply, f ' "Yeah, you red sons of Belial killed him, all right. But you gpt the wrong feller. Seems like his own trap caught him, wearin’ red, underwear the way he did. Though 1 reckon it don’t make much diff’rence now.” It required ffiore explanation before they understood. So far as the haw hunter was concerned, a trophy was a trophy, but some of the others were disgruntled. Only now were they beginning to realize the full magnitude of what had happened—that guns and whiskey alike were lost, that most of the crew had perished and beyond yielding even a scalp; also any expedition for gain had vanished with the wreckage. All of which left them as losers. Anger came with knowledge, and part of it was turned against Jenkyn, who they seemed to feel was somehoiw responsible Tor the manner in which things had worked out. They had sent him to the Varina in the first place to entice the white men ashore and into their hands, and as the crew had trooped on to the bank a cannon had rained death among them, trained on their place of ambush. They’d given Jenkyn a second chance on his assurances that a mistake had been made, that everything was coming their way. This Was the meagre result. Panic gripped Jenkyn as he sensed their hostility. His words were clearly audible above the suck and gurgle of the current. "Hold yore hosses, now,” he pro* tested, addressing himself to the one warrior who seemed to understand English. “Don’t go blamin’ me ’cause a boiler busted. You don’t figger they aimed to kill themselves, do you? An’ if you want booty, and a lot of scalps, you can still get them. There’s that other boat, back downriver. Nothin’ to hinder going back and getting it. It won’t be hard to do, now.” That caught their attention, as he had hoped. The leaders of the expedition, the men they needed to fear during an assault, were gone, dead. Now the Varina could be taken by surprise, and it should be an easy prey, along with all on board, including the women. "Two of the women are black,” i

he ad<|ed, knowing the fascination that dither black men or women had tor most of the Indians, partly because so few of them had ever seen a, Negro. "White women, too,” he added, “but mighty party.” They liked th e< idea when it was explained to them, but there was no rush to put it into execution. The Varina would wait Meanwhile, as long as daylight lasted, the cur- . rent Was washing wreckage to them, and it was worth looking at. ThaJ was the worst of it, as Rawls| calculated. For a couple at warrtqrs, the conference ended, were, wading hopefully out to have A looks at this chair that had stuck here, j Kathleen looked at Rawls. Her gaze Remained calm, with no hint Os panic. For the first time he noticed that her right arm hung limp at her side. “How are you?" he demanded. “Are you hurt badly?” She/shook her head. “Only my arm.', j think it’s broken. That—doesn't matter.” 1 He Iran his fingers over it in quick Testing, shook his head in relief, s \ "I; don’t think there are any bones broken,” he said. Apparently she hid taken a hard blow that had n imbed it, and it was spelling above ; the elbow, but it could have been much worse. “We’ve got to kick loose and trust to luck,” he added, and setting his feet against the boulder, he shaved hard, pushing with his shoulders against the sodden weight of the chair. It hesitated, Sjvung, and was floating again, still above| them. The Indians would figure that the current had moved it ’ | Tu-fee, the swirl of the river tried, to shove them toward shore, but Working together they managed to push it off and keep going. Then The deeper, swifter current caught them, and for a quarter of a mile they were hurried along. The-chair was becoming so waterlogged that it was settling steadily, its buoyancy so that clinging tf> it would no/longer hold them |ip. "Ws’ve got to leave it and trust tb fu|k," Rawls said, his voice booming strange and muffled. Kathleen had one arm over his shoulder, his was about her waist to assist her, and once again he was Struck by her steadiness in the fape of peril. She’d do to ride this of- any other river with ! j Fori a second time, with a soft jar, the chair struck an obstruction, pried to settle lower. They crawled from beneath it, heads cautiously above the water, then straightened. Luck was still giving them an occasional nod. They Were standing tn waist-deep water| but the current had carried them Ito the south bank of the river, |and here it barely moved; trees and brush on shore overhung the bhnk and had them in its shelter. A fetter covert could not have been planned. But they had been in the? water nearly an hour, and they gvere becoming chilled. The sun was setting, going down behind high hills that edged the valley. Rawls waited a while, using eyes and ears, but there was no alien sound; so he boosted Kathleen ip onto the bank, then crawled after her. 1 J (To Be Continued) letOlfr

Newsmen Swarm On Springfield Today All Set In Event Ad lai Victorious SPRINGFIELD, Al. UP — A swarm of newsmen descended mpon Sprhigfield today to help Adlal E. Stevenson sweqt out his jbld for the presidency. | While Stevenson waited for the decision of the American people, the press, television and radio tuned up their equipment to record his progress to victory or defeat ■' Two television networks and a Chicago station were ready to make the first live telecasts froin this city. Transmitting trucks dotted the streets and antennas poised on the skyline. One network cut its inter-city coaxial cable and hauled two relay towels from Kansas City to provide good TV reception for Stevenson and his campaign retinue, Some 100 newsirien, representing newkwire services! and the country’s great daily papers, pl)is a few foreign press members, were on hand for the finish. Dozens of telephone company linemen and technicians toiled through the night to answer countless calls for direct lines, business phones, broadcast loops, audio cables and other equipment. The pressure of the nation’s nose for news pushed the cameras, microphones and teletype machines to the governor’s front door, despite objections of the Stevenson camp. Campaign Manager Wilson W. Wyatt first forbid telephone lines and microphone cables to be strung into the executive masion. But newsmen, alert to the chance that, gathering crowds might force the governor to make an election night speech, insisted and Wyatt gave in. Linemen were stHl busy today working circuits under the mansion’s front poich and into the governor’s garage. Most of the political and publicity fanfare Was slated for the Leland Hotel, where newsmen will s cbllar the big campaign names for Interviews as the returns come in. The hoteP has been completely ■turned oveif to the news mediums, and the Stevenson forces. Stevenson Is expected to make ■ his announcement of victory or defeat from the hotel ballroom, television cameras a r e set to scan a black and red election returns board. The rest of the floor is crowded with control rooms, working press rooms, radio studios and a bar for the relaxing stew. \ Jim Smith Choirman Os Tractor ■ J ■ V : ■ Jim Smith was renamed chairman of, the 4-H tractor maintenance project committee for 1953.

Futile Attacks Made By Reds On Two Ridges Attacks On Sniper, Heartbreak Ridges Repulsed By Allies SEOUL, Korea UP —Hundreds of screaming Reds stormed Heartbreak and Sniper Ridges today in a futile attempt to dislodge United Nations forces. The Allies beat off the twin battalion sized assaults on the eastern and central fronts with heavy ißed losses. Then & lull settled over the entire 155-milfe Korean battleline.

The Communists extended their battle for more real estate to Eastern Korea tor the first time in recent weeks with a 700-man predawn attack against Heartbreak Ridge. North Koreans hit heartbreak in waves under cover of a 5,000-round artillery and mortar barrage. Allied troops held fast and killed or wounded at least 100 Communists in four hours. 1 The Reds also mounted five diversionary nuisance attacks against U! N. positions in Punchbowl Valley, about 25 miles east of Hpartbreak, but withdrew after brief exchanges of fire In the predawn darkness. \ \ On the central front, Chinese Cdmmunists 700 strong swarmed out of deep caves connected by a maze of tunnels at the foot of Sniper Ridge and charged screaming up the isopes. South Korean troops halted the enemy push 100 yards from the cTest. Bloodied, the Reds fell back dbwn the slopes to their caves. It was the 22nd day of fighting fdr the thin, narrow ridgeline taken by the ROK’s in ,mid-October. A niile to the west, action on bloody Triangle Hill simmered to artillery, diiels.
