Ease of International Travel Increases Danger of Leprosy

By HERMAN N. BUNDEMM. MJ. ■■ THE new ease of travel has r • brought us closer to many countries and peoples, thus adding tp ouy pleasure. But It has also brought closer arhat was once called an Insidious disease of the tropical climes, leprosy. Leprosy is common in many areas of the world now within a few hours of the United States by airplane travel. These areas Include parts of the West Indies, Central and South America, and i even some of the far southern states of this country. It has been estimated that there are between one and two thousand eases qf leprosy within the United States alone. F Caysed by Bacteria The manner in which a person gets leprosy is unknown, but It is known to be caused by a bacteria known as Hansen’s bacillus. It takes long association with an infected person in order to acquire the disease which sometimes mar take as long as ten to twenty to develop. The start of leprosy is usually very unpleasant. Little patches appear on the hands, arms and other parts of the skin of a slight red, purple or bronze color, about a half to three Inches in circumbw

point system for auto drivers, violations of traffic laws earning demerits for the driver. For instance, any traffic violation other than improper parking will cost » the drivers points. When he uses lip 12 points, his license can be \ revoked. The highest penalty is for misrepresentation in obtaining a license, which w|Jl cost the violator six points. T|?e system Will cover a three year period. For motorists it will be like going to school and waiting for a report card. ——o o— — Back To S. S.:— Following the summer months when many of us are inclined to “take a vacation” from church attendance and become lax in spiritual matters, this coming Sunday has been designated as the day to revive interest and attendance in Sunday Schools. Heralding National Sunday School Week, local Protestant churchps are cooperating in a Back to Sunday School movement, by staging a parade Saturday afternoon through the business district Mayor Johh M. Doan has joined national leaders in proclaiming National Sunday School Young Christian Soldiers and ‘ their Sunday School teachers will assemble at First and Adams streets and parade to Second street and then north through the business district. Sunday School classes joining in this emulating demonstration \ under the banner of Christ will be those of the First Methodist; Trinity Evangelical United Brethren, the First Baptist and the \ Missionary churches. The parade should be ah exemplary example and reminder ;to all of us of our obligation to dur church anq God. The subject of this week's International Sunday School Lesson, printed in this newspaper is, “Higher Brotherhood.” Saturday’s parade and again on Sunday morning by attending the Sunday School classes, or other church services, the opportunity is offered to show the world that we believe in the “Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man.”

to the face; There may be a losi of hair, especially of the eyebrows. The patient has areas oi numbness which may only Involve little patches but can sometimes involve an entire arm. Bleeding and ulcers of the nose are very common. Eyes May Be Affected People suffering from, leprosy very often have eye involvement There is inflamation of the cornea, and there may be little nodules on the lids. A positive diagnosis of leprosy is made by taking a smear from the skin or from the nose and, examining It under the microscope. Treatment with Drugs The sulfone drugs have been effective In treating many cases of leprosy. Also, two other drugs known as promln and diozone help this disease considerably. Results of the treatment are slow, but the disease may be arrested over a period of years. Most cases of leprosy in the United States are treated In the National Center in Louisiana. * QUESTION AND ANSWER Mrs. A. y.: Can any disease other than rheumatic fever cause a child’s sedimentation .rate to go up? ’ .! , Ahsver: Yes, many infectious diseases can cause the sedimenta-

CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX MACK TORGIN\ was finding no triumph in the moment. His face : wicked with anger, Torgin slapped Purdy again. "Ypu're lyu?g!" Torgin said hoarsely. “You're lying, confound you! Trying to play safe by pinning the robbery on a dead man!" Purdy cringed against the wall, his nair tousled, his eyes frantic. "1 ain't lying. 1 didn’t want to speak up. Flint, he was real good to me when ne was sheriff. He never put me in Jail when 1 took things, he didn't." "I was on that stagecoach," Torgin stormed. “And I saw the man' who neld it up. I’ve told you that. I Kept my eyes and ears open afterwards. Shortly, a certain gent in Mannington began spreading money around. He claimed ne'd indented from some relative back East. 1 couldn’t brand mm a liar. But l*ve watcheo and waited all these years, figuring that some day I'd find the proof. It wasn't Flint Manning who buried that loot, Purdy, ano you know it. it was Doc Brownlee!" Laura's laugh was scornful. “So you nope to' put Gramp at your mercy and force through your packing-plant scheme!” ft fits Manning thdtaght ft makes scnee out of Torgm s threat to Doc Browniee m the hospital. “The whole town will side you. Doc,” Torgin had said. “But one of these days 1 may have something to hand them that even Griffin will have to heed.” “It was Flint Manning," Purdy insisted “How can 1 say it was Doc ouried that box when it wasn't?” And Cole Manning was sick with the certainty that Packrat Purdy was speaking the truth. A closed case, Manning reflected: ne’d discovered who'd robbed, that stage long years ago. A need to laugh filled him. He could choose now between his blood and his badge, tor he’d either to report a failure or. report the infamy of Flint Manning. Out qf chaotJc thinking came an odd wonder; wctild they still leave the Statue standing in Mannington ? And then the short pairs at the nape of his neck prickled, tor suddeniy he was cold with the knowledge that he wasn't going to be to make any choice. He could see nis doom in Mack Tor- • gin’s eyes, tor Torgin was studying all three prisoners with a deep and desperate speculation. “We're in a tight, boys,” Torgin . said slowly. “We're in a bad tight. If Purdy bad named Doc, we could have put the whole basin over a f barrel. As it is, we’ve mauled a qaarsnal and made talk of torturing a girl. We can’t let them carry that tale back to town. Not now.” The Slash 7 man who'd Showed uneasiness earlier headed out the door. “I'm drifting," be said, but that hard-jawed one stood bls ground. “Thio lawman was looking for Purdy, wasn't be 7" he asked, nodding toward Manning. “Suppose he’d caught up with him. Suppose there*d been a shoot-out." Torgin’s eyes squinted down. "I'm not sure 1 follow you." “It’s pat. The Brownlee girl dresses like a boy. Manning might i ■ . i.

nave put a bullet into her oetore he guessed the truth. Don’t you see ? Then mm and P&ckrat could have ahot it opt_ Three dead ones strewed o<it proper, with fired guns in their hands, would tell their own story.” Torgin gave this hla consideration; and strong in Manning was the remembrance ot the root cellar at Slash 7 and Laura saying tn the darkness, ”... The more desperate Torgin gets, the more dangerous ne’U become." Manning looked traight at Torgin and said, •‘Mack, you’ll never get away with thia pon’t be a fool!” But Torgin didn’t seem to hear him. Torgin’s eyes nad turned bolder. “Yes; it’s pat,” he said. “A pat nand.” “You promised not to hurt Laurd!” Purdy shrilled. He flailed tus nands, nis voice rising to a steady shnek. “Help! Help! Help!” “Qilit that!” Manning said sternly. “You’re wasting your breath." Then ne lunged at the man nearest nun, that nard-j awed one. Nothing left now but the desperate need to make some kind ot play and go down fighting. He struck out blindly, ms fist thudding against the fellow, but it was a short blow with no heft behind 1L Too Crowded here to get in a good swing. But amazingly, the man went down, blood gushing from tus shoulder. No fist nad done that damage, Manning realized dazedly. A gun nad boomed out in the gathering darkness. Someone nad tired through’ the open doorway, and the bullet spread consternation. Torgin made a wild dive toward the door. “Outside!" he boomed. "Get outside and Scatter! Douse that light, somebody!" Panic had caught those clustered beyond the door, and they were stampeding. That distant gun spoke again. "Must be Burke Gntfln,” someone shouted. "Maybe ne’s got a posse!” Manning was sure he recognized Slade Rux t o n’s voice. Torgin and the two cither Slash 7 men in the dugout were jammed in the doorway, their voices frantic. This long day had dr»wn them fine, and fear had finally snapped them. They got outside: their boots pounded in retreat. Maiming took abrupt advantage ot the confusion. Blowing out the lantern, he got hold of the wrists of Laura and Packrat. "Come on!” he urged and dragged them from the dugout. That tone gunman was somewhere tn the bushes up the west slope of the coulee. Manning saw the flash of hia gun. Torgin and his men had headed down the coulee. The man on the slope shouted, "This way. Laura, do you hear me?” I “Gramp!” Laura cried. Manning let go bf Purdy and scooped up his forty-five. He ran' toward the makeshift barn and led out his saddler and hurriedly tightened the cinch. He boosted Laura into the saddle, belted the horse across the rump with hli sombrero and sent it bolting toward the slope. He ran after the horse, Purdy pounding along beside him. They clawed tpto the I bushes and began climbing the

swpe. Brownlee’s vojee guided them. High up, they came upon Brownlee’s crouched figure. Laura had found nim, too. "Haeep going," Brownlee said. "My horse is above.” He laid three evenly spaced shots at the gun flames winking from the coulee’s bottom. Slash 7’s firing was sporadic, and Maiming wondered how many others tn the crew had decided to bolt. Reaching Brownlee, they again galloped through the night, across the basin to Bootjack river and forked south along the Dank, keeping to the willows’ cover. Then they rested the horses and sat listening; tar away rose the rumps ot men traveling. Manning said. "Sounds like only a couple. Torgin’s got a scared crew. They climbed out on the limb, with Torgin tonight, and the limb broke.” Laura said, "1 was never so glad Ip see you, Gramp.” "1 was there on the slope most of the daiy,” Brownlee said. "You were under siege when 1 arrived. 1 could do no good by revealing my presence, and 1 was afraid to turn back to town for nelp, so 1 hided my time. 1 risked a shot when 1 neard Packrat scream. It was chancy, with that dugout packed, o\it it was the best I could do.” \ -7”Ma Hibbard told you where to find me?” Brownlee nodded. "Laura, Qie time nas come for the truth. What gave you the notion of snatching Ptfrdy out ot jail in the first place?” “You did, Gramj)," she said. “You've been worried siqk ever since Purdy was arrested. Xou even told Ma Hibbard you loped Packrat couldn’t identify the robber. You argued it was better if old ghosts were left lying. There's a skeleton m your closet, Gramp. If I could get Purdy free before he spoke out ot turp, 1 could bury that skeleton. But Torgin made Purdy speak up toiiighL We know the truth now. It’s as Ma Hibbard and L suspected <ll along. Flint Manning was your friend, so you didn’t want hjs tuune blackened.’’ Cole Manning said, “Yoy know me, don’t you. Doc ?” "Ot course," Brownlee said. < "This is the first chance I’ve had i for this.” He extended nis hand. “You've grown to be a fine-looking mkn. 1 think Flint would be proud of you." “1 wanted to wear a badge," Manning said. “Now | wish I’d never seen one. What kind of report can I turn in? ft will be a big day for the headline hunters. COLE MANNING PHQVES FAMOUS FATHER HIGHWAYMAN.” Brownlee said, “Your father didn’t hold up that stage.” “Then who did?” Brownlee’s face looked old tn the starshine, yet he showed a certain serenity like a man soon 1 to be freed of a burdensome knowledge. It was a moment before he spoke. “My statement alone won’t do," he said. “It’s proof that’s got to be put in your h|pd. I’ll turn that proof over to you in Mannington. Let’s ride again.”' (To Be ContinuedJ j

She’s hired a personal representative and started apartment hunting, even though the status of her marriage is still a mystery. “I don’t think I’ll need to'go to Mexico now," said Mrs. Simpson, as she prefers to be called. She came home from Spain three weeks ago intending to go to Mexico City to testify before church authorities.

A department press release on results pf the meeting said the group “expressed appreciation” of the FOA’s recent authorization of 10 million dollars for the purchase of beef but urged that this amount be increased to not less than 40 million. ’ ■- t The group also turned thumbs down on a price support program as such for livestock despite recent requests for supports by individual cattlemen. It said federal purchases of cattle would “serve mainly r|o complicate the industry’s current economic problems.” The committee said high price props on corn and other grain crops “aggravate” the livestock industry's problem. Sam Hyatt, committee member and 1 president of the American ‘natiohal cattlemen’s association, said cattlemen will “soon be over the hump” with the help of the purchase program. “We’re eating our way out” of the cattle surplus, he said.
