Treating Outer Ear Infection

By HERMAN N. BUNCtSEN, M.D. | FUNGI, which are like yeasts or molds, are not often responsible for the distressing infections commonly known as fungus ears. Though a fungus Is sometimes blamed, the real culprits are bacteria, a type of germ. The infections are also sometimes called boils in the ear, as swellings occur in the canal leading to the eardrum. The drum divides the outer from the middle ear, so this canal is considered a —part of the outer ear. Most often, the cemter of this type of infection is one of the hair follicles or glands present in the outer portion of this ear passage. May Affect Hearing Usually, the outer portion of the canal is swollen and red. The swelling may almost close off the canal and interfere with hearing. A In certain severe cases, it extends up through the entire ear canal ! and even spreads over the part of the ear that is seen on the outside, the auricle. While outer ear Infection Is most often due to invasion by I. bacteria, in some casus it comes [ from oversecretion by certain oil glands of the skin. This leads to a form of skin disease known as seborrheic dermatitis. Os course, the correct treatment M of an ear canal infection will vary with the exact cause. Iff it Is due to the oil gland disturbance, a cream containing iodochlorhydioryquin is very effective in clearing it un. -

pointment of Harold Stassen as Mutual Security Administrator, has brought a new president to the University .of Pennsylvania, a post Stassen held for a few I. yearsi H|s successor is Prof. Gaylord P. Harwell, of the university’s physites department. As presidents of these great institutions of higher learning, the new execu-' tives will have the opportunity to prove the thepry that men trained in the academic profession are best for such Important posts. 0 o Another woman sovereign may some day be crowned in Europe and t&ke her place beside Queen Elizabeth of England and Queen Juliana of Holland. She is 13-year-bld Princess Margarethe of Denmark and hef'’ new status was achieved by a popular vote in a national referendum. For 500 years Denmark has been ruled by kings and Danish law made it impossib e for a to become monarch. It may well be that the Danes, after a look at the skill and gracioUsness displayed by Queens, decided that a queen of their own might be a good idea. Helping Children:— A»former Turkish army sergeant made what might well prove to be the mogt valuable contribution to his people's fight against illiteracy. When he was discharged from the army, where he had received his own basic education, he decided to share his learning with the youngsters in his village. Some time later, during a literacy survey, the government discovered that all the children in the village could and Write, despite the fact that it had no schodl. From the sergeant's idea the government developed its system of village institutes. At first the Institutes continued to be taught by former soldiers who received I ' “* I ' ' L " ’ i ' ’ jfome special training after they were discharged. Today iome of the villages have teachers who live on model farms and teach Scientific methods of agriculture along with the fundamentals of reading and writing. Because one sergeant realized how foitdnate he was to be able to read and write and “wanted to Share his good foltune with the children in the community in which he lived, an entire people is literate, better able to meet the problems of modrn living. It proves the power for good [ an unsellfish act can do.

| On the other hand, if it is due 'to the bacterial infection, as is \ most commonly the case, the treatment is sometimes very difficult. Usually, It is best to have a physician clean the ear canal and then use one of the newer antibiotic drugs, such as aureomycin or terramycln powder, to dust into the ear. The swelling, which can cause severe pain, is sometimes helped by a weak solution of aluminum acetate. Many times, patients have to take heavy doses of antibiotic drugs, such as penicillin, by injections into a muscle at frequent intervals before the Infection if completely cleared up. Outer ear infections can thus i be stubborn and hard to treat, but most of them can be cured under a doctor’s supervision. QUESTION AND ANSWER L. B. and R, T.: We are first cousins and both come from healthy stock and would like to get married. Is there any medical reason why we should not marryi Answer: If there are no undesirable traits or extremes In peri sonalities going back at least twe • generations In both your families, there may be no fear of marriage. However, If there are any hereditary diseases or traits, marriage of first cousins might cause the children to have an extreme of these traits or diseases. The marriage of first cousins is forbidden by law in some states.

CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE ALEX pulled up and parked before a three-story row of houses on a dirty, littered street. The shades were drawn on the firstfloor windows, but a neatly lettered sign on the door Identified the place as the home of the European Publishing company. We crowded into the tile-floored foyer, and Alex punched a button. A bell rang inside, faintly, and then we heard footsteps. Lights went on behind a frosted-glass door panel on our left, and the door was opened by a tall, scholarly looking man in gray tweeds. He had a full head of black hair, the forehead of a thinker and eyes that were large and formidable behind bone-rimmed bifocals. •’Yes?” 1 he said. He looked us ever as If we wefe magazine peddlers. ‘‘l’m a City detective,” Alex said. *We’d like to talk to you a moment. You’re Monet, I guess?” “Yes, that’s correct" "I recognized you from that time you were in court I guess it was in 1946. Well, let’s go inside.” Monet wet his Ups and inclined his head about a quarter of an inch. “Yes, please como in,” he said. There were desks, typewriters, flies and a wa t e r-cooler in the large, untidy room. “What is this about?” Monet said, giving us all a calm, unworried stare; Alex didn’t believe in fencing. "We want help,” he said. “There’s dope going through town, from New York out west We want to know who’s carrying the stuff, and when he’s setting up his next trip.” Monet looked indignant "This is preposterous. I know nothing of such matters.” “You knew plenty seven or eight years ago,” Alex said. “Don’t bother with the front You got a break then, and this is a chance to show your gratitude." “I won’t be intimidated by these Fascist tactics.” “Don’t make us mad,” Alex said. “I am a respectable businessman,” Monet said, and now more than a trace of Gallic accent slipped into his speech. “X am an editor, a force in this community. I will not cringe before your Ges-tapo-like threats. This country is 4 being destroyed by your type, and when the people take their destiny into their own deserving hands, I—" “Yeah, you’ll be a commissar," Alex said. "Now shut up about politics. Either you help, or you get tossed into jail for about fifteen years; You k>ve this country so much you tried to make dope addicts out of its citizens. You’re a fraud. But that ain’t important. I want the name of that courier. Either you dig it up, or I’ll hit you over the head With thad old federal indictment Now what’s it going to be?" Monet took a long breath, and then slowly removed his glasses. Without them his eyes were small, weak and shifty. The calm force was gone now, and his face looked caved-in and vulnerable. This present defeat, and the memories of past defeats, glittered weakly from his little eyes. I ~’ ~ t

“I—l don’t have any contacts left; ln that business,’* he said. "Bull. How about your old friends?” Alex said, staring at him, huge and implacable, about as susceptible to sympathy now as a slab of steel. “It’s your .choice, friend. You want it to be three free meals a day, and a six-by-sii cell?’’ "There is one man,” Monet muttered. “One, maybe two. 1 might learn something from them. But they will know I talked. They will kill me." “Not a chance,” I said. “This trap is set to close in Chicago. Dozens of coppers and stooges are tn on it. No one could connect you with IL” “You are sure?” ‘ “We ain’t sure of nothing," Alex said. "Except that you g<? to jail unless you get the name Os that courier. Got that, Monet ?’O Monet nodded slowly, and wet his lips. We drove back ‘ downtown in a gathering darkness. We passed families sitting out on front: stoops, and couples strolling arm-in-arm. A sound of fresh young laughter drifted to us, high and aUVe, and Alex swore. "That jerk. Bringing dope into this town. Well, fcfill, now We got to see Blucher. He told me to check with him after I saw Monet.” “We’ll know the worst soon,” I said. / Blucher’s office was on the fifth floor of the hall. We found him at his desk, a lean, spare with thinning hair, and a smile that slid onto his face a bit too easily for my taste. “Well, it’s nice to see you again, Canalli,” he said, after! had introduced Terry. "Alex tells me we’re onto something big.” I didn’t like that “we” business. “It’s going to be an important pinch for* the Chicago police," I said. ♦ “I’m not too sure about that,” Blucher said, With one of his smooth, automatic smiles appearing. “I’m going to nail that courier right here in Philly. I’ve known about this business, too, you know. Matter* of fact, I was about ready to grab the guy.” He Was lying. He hadn’t known a thing until he’d got wind of ; Alex’s investigation. “You were way ahead of us all along,” I said. Alex coughed and muttered something under his breathe “I’ve got a responsibility; to the people of Philadelphia,” Blucher said. “Let the Chicago boys handle their own trouble.” “Could I say one thing?” Terry said. “I’m doing this story for the biggest paper in Chicago, Captain Blucher. And from the selfish viewpoint Tm sorry you’re going to spoil one of the best angleM of the whole thing.” | . “What’s that?" “Well, the fact that you Co-oper-ated in letting this courier go on through to Chicago. Most police officials would make the big local pinch, but you, I thought, were going to pass up the personal glory in order to let Chicago break up its dope racket. That part of the stoSy would be good enough for an individual feature, I’d decided.” |

That hit Blucher hard.' He rubbed his jaw, smiling slightly. "Well, individual features and so forth, isn’t quite the point,” he said, with an effect of total insincerity. “It’s the greatest good, as you say. Naturally, that’s what I want, and I'm afraid Alex here didn’t quite brief me fully. Os course—” He rambled on a while, and finally explained to Terry how fie liked his name and title in stories: Frank A. Blucher, Vice Squad Captain. Alex winked at me, and I looked solemnly at the ceiling. j -I Alex called me the next morning at ten. I knew from his voice that something had broken. “Monet got it,” he said. "Listen. ...” Our man was named Shenk, a naturalized Russian. Age forty-five to fifty, eyes brown, skin swarthy and granular, build stocky. Shenk ostensibly traveled for a. leatherdyeing concern, and commuted each month between New York and Chicago. He used the Pennsylvania railroad, and was scheduled to make a trip within the next ten days. ® | Alex had already sent a police artist out to Monet’s office. The artist would make sketches of Shenk under Monet’s tnstruetons. “Come oh down to Blucher’s office,” Alex said, when he’d finished I this report. “We got work to do." 1 got into a robe and went into the study. Terry was sleeping on the studio couch, lying under a thin blankeL “Come on, the lid’s off," 1 said, and shook her shoulder.. “Can’t it go off at a decent hour?" she muttered. “Not a chance.” I jerked the blanket away from her as she glared at me angrily. “Forget your temperament long enough to get dressed. Monet’s picked out our courier.” Alex was prowling around Blucher’s office when Terry and I arrived. Blucher • was there, too, and he corraled Terry to make sure that she was aware of his role in this case. Meanwhile, Alex and I figured out the best way to pick up Shenk. The trick was to spot him without letting him know he was under observation. We could stop and search all trains, but if we did Shenk wouldn’t be foolish enough to go on to. Chicago. He’d know something was cooking..! We finally decided to assign a man to every car on every train that pulled into the Philadelphia station on the stop between, New York and Chicago. That man could check the open sections in the body of the car at a glance, and then open up the bedrooms and roomettes on the pretext of looking fdr his own space. As an extra precaution, we decided to have Western Union boys hand but telegrams to the porters fdr an Ambrose Shenk. Our subject’s first name was William, but it was almost a certainty that he’d investigate a telegram going to someone with his last name. When and if that happened, one of our plainclothes cops could make the identification... (To Be Continued), . ■ 1 ■ ‘!i- ■ ■ . ; I ■■ ■ 7
