Early Care Prevents Complications of Bums

By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.O. PROPER early care can often prevent the almost nightmare complications of severe burns, such as infection and excessive scarring. All burns require a lot of Individual attention with no , shortcuts. A physician should be in attendance as soon as possible with any severe and extensive burn. Be will be able to treat whatever shock is present and relieve severe pain and suffering. — if the burn occurs around the joints of certain parts of the arms, legs or neck, it may heal with a targe amount of scar tissue formation. This scar tissue is not only disfiguring, but car also causs a deformity and prevent the person from properly using the affected body part. Faded Burna A burn on the face sometimes leaves disfiguring scars, or fixes the chin firmly against the chest, or makes the face so disfigured e

France’s vote on the ratification of the long-delayed European Defense Community may come Tuesday. Experts say only one thing is certain: France will not approve the European army plan, which includes rearming of Germany. The leading opponent in the tight against adoption is Jules Moch, a member of the French foreign affairs committee, who lost a son in the last war. Premier Mendes-France is not throwing his influence in favor of the EDC and experts believe that the French Assembly will vote down the army proposition. , -—0 -0 Over the last Labor Day weekend 405 persons were killed in traffic accidents. Many more were injured and will bear the scars of those injuries for the rest of their lives. The National Safety Council has released the grim estimate that this Labor Day holiday will see 450 persons killed in accidents. It is unfortunate that these grim reminders are necessary, that they must cast something of a cloud over the holiday. Yet with care and common sense accidents can be avoided. Don’t be a victim, don't be the cause of someone else’s death. Drive carefully. 0 0 The British may not be showing good judgment in taking a stand on the letter of the law in their relations with the Mediterranean island of Cyprus, chiefly Greek in population. She would like to join the mother country. The Greek premier wants to present his country's cause to the United Nations. The British delegate says that his country will oppose the proposal because Cyprus is “entirely within the domestic jurisdiction of the United Kingdom.” This, of course, will not end the agiutlon. Ireland was once a British domestic problem, but her struggle- for freedom excited so much sympathy, especially in the United States, that Britain finally felt constrained to give the Irish their freedom.

that the mouth cannot be opened without first closing the eyes. Once the wound is allowed to heal by scar tissue and the extensive scarring has appeared, It becomes a very difficult task to correct this condition. After the patient is tn good condition following the severe burn, and there is no Infection or open wound present, skin grafts should be begun. Not only does skin grafting give a better appearance to the wound, but It will also prevent much serious disability. QUESTION AND ANSWER Mrs. M. P: is the frog test foi pregnancy reliable?

He wort most of bis Masking Day pirate’s garb, minus only the big, silver-mounted pistols and the wide-brimmed bat. He was leaning on the guardrail, yelling to someone out ol sight. I crossed over to ask aim if he’d seen Ellen. •‘Not since breakfast,** he said. “Congratulations, Sherlock." He pointed to a paper on the deck sear his pirate s hat. **l was just reading about iL TU bet you . . “How long nave ybu had the paper T” **Boy brought them half an hour ago.

She was loaded down with camera sluff when 1 i saw her on deck." Russell leaned i perilously over to take a folded < paper someone handed him from a Oat boat moored alongside. I "What's all this?” I gestured at the ffatboaL . 1 “Lighter," Russel) explained. "Just getting set up so we can | move cargo tomorrow." .. "Move it where?" I “We lighter it downstream to I that ship there. See the basket I masthead? The rusty tub, the Monteliune. About 1,000 yards, ' maybe.

Gov. Allan Shivers Is Winner In Texas Austin, Tex. (INS) —Gov. Allan Shivers, who won his run-off victory for an unprecedented third term as governor of Texas in Saturday's Democratic primary, has received the personal congratulations of President Eisenhower. Democratic nomination is tantamount to election in Texas, The victory of the conservative governor over his liberal opponent ■Ralph Yarborough, was interpreted nationally as significant victory for- President Eisenhower, who carried Texas in 1952 with the help of Shivers. Hormel Co. Chairman Dies This Morning AUSTIN, Minn. (INS) Jay Catherwood Hormel, 62, chairman of Geo. A. Hormel & Co., died today of a heart ailment.

Take It easy, man," Russell protested. “This is no slave ship. Our crew wants to take in Mardi Gras, too. It’s all we can do to keep enough cooks and stewards around to feed the passengers. The crew would just quit it we tried to work them during carnival. And even it they would work, the crew ot that ship wouldn’t be on hand." “Is that routine?" ! asked excitedly. “Do you always do that ?" 1 took a sober breath and let go ot Russell’s arm. "Wait a minute, let me get it m order. First, do you always carry cargo on this cruise?” “Sure," Russell said. “1 told you ..." "1 know you did. 1 just wanted to make sure you always took cargo, not just sometimes. Now, do you always take your cargo off by lighter to send to another ship ?" "Well, yes, If the cargo is consigned to a ship," Russell said. "Sometimes it goes ashore to somebody m town.” "Okay. When cargo is put on a ship bound tor foreign ports, is it always inspected m your hold, the day before you move It ?** Russell said: "Welk that's a tough one. Usually, 1 guess it is It's a routine inspection, you know, just to make sure no critical war materials go to the wrong people. So sometimes , . "You mean it’s always done, but it Isn't strictly the way It should be done. Stay with me, Russell. I’m not asking tor tun.” “We always do it that way, Wilde, is it important?” "Mighty important. Have you ever moved cargo any day other than the day after Mardi Gras? Do you always wait?" “Sure, the men like to get ashore. There’s never any rush about the cargo and Mardi Gras is a big show." "It’s certainly a big show,” “I said numbly, Russell looked at me sharply: "What’s the matter with you, Wilde? You sick?" “1 just saw a ghost,” 1 mumbled. "And I thought H was Unishcd." 1 shook my head, trying to clear my brain. "Listen, will you do something for me, Russell?" "Yes, it I can." "Go up to that phone booth there near the warehouse.

Adams in city court Saturday afternoon for disorderly conduct. •Morningstar was originally charged August 8, when he entered a plea of not guilty. The hearing on the case was continued several times •by Mayor John Doan, and both de f fenee and prosecuting attorneys finally agreed on Judge Adame to try the case. Total fine in the case amounted to 140.05, because of the charge of >25.05 for securing the witnesses for the hearing. Richard A. Rumple, of route 5, will appear before justice of the peace Floyd B. Hunter this afternoon to answer charges of reckless driving filed by city police. Rumple was arrested at 12:30 a. m. Sunday at 13th and Nuttman. Alton Henry Hartley, of Portland, will appear In justice of the peace court this evening to face charges of speeding 45 miles an hour on 13th street. The city police arrested Hartley at 1:50 p, m. yesterday. •Rhuie F. Rambo, of Limn, 0., was fined >1 and costs, for speeding 45 mile® an hour on Second street at 8:40 a. m. Sunday.

ehlef of police. It he isn’t, try to trace aim. Tell bun I'm on the boat. 1 want him to come down here. And he better bring a local badge with him. Tell turn we quit too soon." Russell whistled soundlessly. His foot touched at the newspaper lying on the deck. “Same stuff ? More of the same?” "Yeah, the last part. Hustle it, win you?” Russell hit the gangplank in a tong leap anu ran lightly up the betm. I walked slowly up the wide staircase and moved along the cor- i ndor of the texas deck, heading tor the last de luxe bedroom on the right side. Stewarts getaway, 1 thought That's what we overlooked. Getting Stewart, then finding the girl and the money, was enough tor us. But Stewart had planned to come aboard the Dixie Dandy today, with his gir|, hidden in a crowd ot costumed tourists. He’d stay under cover and tomorrow, when the cargo left the boat'r hold and was winched downstream to the rusty ship just 1.000 yards away, Stewart and his Mary would move with it. A simple, reasonable plan. II everything had gone smoothly, Stewart would have been just another passenger on the Dixie Dandy, less active than most, probably. In New Orleans, ne would have picked up the girl and the money, moved with the cargo to the Monteltune with no trouble. I'd thought it very funny when the cops were poking through the crated machinery, hoping to find Stewart in the caigo hold. It was tunny then, but not now. It would be ridiculously easy, ti any oi that machinery was ooxed with a little added space designed to cake a man, a fir! and a wad oi casn. ft " wouldn't be a long trip. Just 1,000 yards. 1 was beginning to sec It ail now. Though 1 still couldn't guess what had upset the original program. Oi course Stewart had ielt a trail when ne tried to burn his personal papers and wasn't careful to btirn everything thoroughly. So we knew about the boat and from that moment his original plan was tost. But It had been a good plan And a cleverer mind than Stewart s had set it up. - (To Be

I’d been landed a suspicion and led carefully to accept a prepared solution, ft was neat.. Tidy and careful and lust a little humorous, qualities of mind that fitted Doc Riggs perfectly. The bedroom was empty. The luggage was still there. The room waa disarranged slightly, clearly xxupied by a man who meant to return. 1 . 1 closed the door and walked Uowly up to my room, trying to Igure the best move to make now. □oc Riggs was on board, expecting Stewart. But if he had seen a copy >f the paper he knew the game was over. Now what 7 He hadn’t packed anything, so he didn’t plan :o run. Somehow running wouldn't oe tn character for Doc. 1 got out my key, opened the loor and went in. The night-time lurtalna were still drawn, but even io 1 could see that my bed was itill unmade. Probably Russell iculdn’t keep maids working either, aot on Masking Day. 1 hauled back >ne of the curtains and then 1 saw aim, sitting erect in a chair facing ne, one leg draped over the other, me hand in ms jacket pocket, the ather balanced on his knee, holdng a blue-steel Smith and Wesson tlagnum aimed directly at me. 1 froze tn position, looking at he narrow, bird-Uke head cocked .o one aide, at the gay yellow bow ■ie, the auit that was too sprightly fer a man of his age. It was all is it had been before, except the 'aded blue eyes held no humor low. They glared at me with an ce-blue coldness, and the wide, nobile mouth was fixed and suien. The thin, freckled hand holdng the gun was steady, but tense with a strain that showed in whitened knuckles.

“You don't want to play with ;uns now. Doe,” 1 said in a thin .one. "It’s too 1a t e tor that. Afe’ve ..."

Not there!” His gun waved ■ne away from a chair that was vlthin kicking distance ot his big pistoL 1 perched on the edge of •he bed. "That’s better. Feel good, Mr. Wilde? You’d best enjoy your iriumph while you can.” The violence in his tone was soft and imooth. "But it's finished. Doc," I said ingnly. "Stewart’s dead.

He gave R all to that girl." 1 shook my head. 1 brought the clgaret up to my mouth, pulled at it and let the hand stay high, near the opening ot my jacket, not -Car from my gun, out much too far to nave a chance against the steady gun. Doc was holding on mo. “I'm cleaned, Wilde," he said tightly. “This would have been my big haul. Fifty thousand dollars. First Stewart, then you, then Boltinck.

asinine young fool. 1 rehearsed .bun. i paid for his reservation. 1 nursed him along and you .. . you His eyes seemed to grow larger, almost glaring with intensity. I sh i f t'e d the cigaret in my hand, watching the old madman work himseii to a killing fury. 1 moved the cigaret slowly, getting it between two fingers so I could flip 1L but knowing 1 didn't have a chance against nim. He was keyed so tensely now that tie would snoot faster than 1 could wink. But 1 couldn't Just sit there and be shot. 1 tensed my finger. Something brushed softly against the door outside. Doc turned ms head in an involuntary reflex, but only for a flickering second. 1 snapped my cigaret -at his face and Jumped. The cigaret bounced uselessly off his shoulder. And 1 slipped oh the bedclothes that dropped to" the floor, slipped and went down on one knee, cracking my head solidly against the leg of a chair. 1 didn t see the door open. 1 saw Doc standing over me, saw his Magnum aimed directly at my eye. And 1 saw a shiny leather camera cose swing and catch the elegant maniac squarely on . the head above his ear. He went down slowly, the big pistol slipped from his lax hand. I stayed there, braced by my right hand against the floor, my head still ringing from the crack it had taken. And Doc came down to join - me, crumpling limply to the floor. 1 Just looked at him. 1 didn't move until Ellen knelt beside me to help me up. I was seeing only a hazy, kaleidoscopic impression of what was happening. Grodnik and Russell drifted into view and drifted away again. Then 1 was outside, sitting in a deck chair, feeling a soft southern breeze against my face and Ellen's, hand stroking softly. "No more." 1 remember saying that. Ellen tells me 1 said It over and over. "No more." And then I Was alert again, but very tired as if 1 hadn't been to bed for a week. Grodnik camo to perch on a chair beside me and he grinned at me. — “He's a feisty old dog," he said. "You think he's sane?" “Not any more,” I said. “He shot the moon and lost his roll. He's finished.* "Yeah. He sure had It tn for you," Grodnik said. "Well, I'll go and tell tho chief whgt happened here; make sure he gets it straight." He rose and held out his big hand to Ellen. "Hope I’ll be seeing you again, miss. That was a wonderful sock when you cracked that fellow. Break your camera?" “It doesn’t matter," sho said softly. Grodnik looked down at me, and from Die expression I knew he saw " Ellen as 1 did. ( “1 could come back later," he said hesitantly, “if there’s anything 1 could do fur you?" “You epuid come back this evening, captain," I said. “We’re making a trip to Algiers. Like you to com® along." “Algiers?" Grodnlk’s eyes widened. “Oh, Algiers. Sure. Tho Kasbnh, ch?" He glanced at Ellen 19 alarm. "Little tar, ain’t It?" "Not far,” Ellen said. “It isn’t far at all, captain. Come and sec." (Ike imQ
