About Eye Allergies By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D.

THE eye is a common site for an allergy. The lid may become affected or even the lining membrane of the eyeball itself. Often, when the eye is red and irritated and swollen, It is believed that the lid has become Infected. Actually, an allergy is the cause of the difficulty. The patient complains of tearing and pain in the eye, and the eyeball Itself looks red and congested. Many times, professional or self treatment with the antibiotic drugs only makes the condition worse. Easily Detected An easy diagnosis can be made by the physician. He takes a smear of the eye secretion and examines it under a microscope. If an eosinophil cell is present, the diagnosis is complete, for this cell is typical of an allergic disease. Nail polish, hair dyes and other toilet articles are the most common causes of this allergic condition around the female eyes. There may be a lot of scaling. Certain drugs used in the eye can also cause allergy. Some allergies

Cast Your Vote.Eiection day is a few short weeks away. Americans will have a chance to speak out at the polls, to say which candidates they want to represent them at various levels of government and what they want their representatives to stand for. If our democratic way of life should ever fail it will not be because someone has devised a better, more workable scheme of government, or because some one seises control by force. It will be because good citizens who profess to love liberty regard it so lightly that they fail to take the time to study its problems and bgconre a" pafFlrf its admlnistraion. There has never been a time when citizens had a better chance to study the issues of the, day, to know what the various candidates stand for and what their performance record is. Newspapers provide political news, print. ■ speeches and radio and television give a portion of their time to candidates and issues.

Persons who are allergic to dust, pollen and certain foods may also suffer from eye reactions. In treating an eys allergy, the allergin, of course, should be eliminated. The antihistamine drugs have been very effective in helping to eliminate symptoms. In many Instances, the person may have to be desensitized against these drugs. For immediate relief of very severe reactions, the hormone, cortisone, applied locally within the eye, has been of value. Any eye allergy should, of course, be treated by a physician.

Judy Kirkland began to talk quietly and pleasantly to me Ibout a pair of Irish setters she jwned and I decided that she could se very attractive and likeable, when she wanted to be. Suddenly we heard the sound of i car starting and through the window I saw the lights of a car joing down the drive. At the highway it turned right, toward Ridge □enter. Judy saw it, too, and she laid to Ralph Hollis. "Ralph, it looks like Earl is taking your gal home.” he stood up and said carelessly, “Yes, It looks like it," and moved io the stairway in the halt "Goodsight, everyone." We all said good-night, and I looked at Sandy. She wm watching Ralph go slowly up the stairs and there was sadness in her eyes. She made a move as if to follow him, and then stood still Judy said softly, "That's right, Bandy. Let him go. He has nothing to worry about.'* She paused, and then said hesitantly, "I—l'm lorry for what I did, but you can't blame me for being just a little Icalous, and Eileen is so—so posicssive." Sandy looked at her, and she tidn't say anything. Jake Fortune cleared his throat "Well, my daughter seems to have gotten a ride home—l may as well get going." For some odd reason it seemed to me that he had a smug, satisfied look. He nodded at me, "See you in the morning, Bennett Get your shooting eye in CoarnahL hbi. b

Top Frenchmen Are Quizzed In Spy Case Present, Former Government Heads - Are Questioned PARIS (INtS) --.French military investigators, determined to interview everylMKiy who ever had access to defense secrete, began questioning top ranking members of the present and former governments today about France’s dramatic spy scandal. The names of Chose interviewed read like a roll-call of, France's leadership in recent years. Topping the list was Georges Bidault, rnreign minister of France in the government of premier Joseph Lanlel, and many preceding regimes. ■ V The interrogation of Bidault and other well-known statesmen was part of a general questioning df all parsons, high or hum We in rank, who now have or ever did have access to the deliverations of the national defense committee. Leaks of vital defense information from the supposedly seer et Bleating*. of UUs committee are at the heart of the sensational spy case.

Through the window 1 saw it turn toward Ridge Center, in the same direction Eileen Fortune and Earl Seltzman had gone, Sandy sighed and said, •'Well, you’ve met Judy. What do you think of her?** “1 don’t know. Is she mad at the world, or something ?" “She’s just spoiled, and she’s always had too much money. I told you that she and Ralph were engaged, and they broke up, and now she can’t bear to see any other girl get him. That’s why she came here tonight—to embarrass poor little Eileen.** ’Tm no authority," I said, “but 1 think Judy Kirkland needs a man who will show her that he’s boss."'-' Sandy said, “Maybe you’re right I was surprised that Eileen had the spunk to leave with Earl tonight—but maybe it’s not surprising, either. She knows that Earl is still tn love with her, and maybe it helped her ego—although it wasn’t fair to Ralph; he couldn't help what happened." “What did he and Judy quarrel about T" „ “Ralph never told me, and I sometimes think he's still in love with her.” She sighed again. “Well, 1 can’t do anything about it. I'm going to bed. We’ll have breakfast about eight. Can 1 make you a nightcap before I go up?” “I’ll get it—if I want one." She moved toward the stairway, and then hesitated, her gaze avoiding mine. "Are—are you going tc see her? Judy, I mean?” I went up to her and placed my hands on her shoulders. “Os course not.” “Maybe—you’d like her." 1 grinned at her. “I’m sticking with the gal what brung me.” She looked up at me then, and she smiled, but there was a suggestion of tears in her brown eyea “Sometimes you’re — nice, Jim," she said softly. On a sudden impulse I leaned down and kissed her. I felt hei stiffen, and then her arms slid around my neck. Her lips were cool and soft, and it was a hied kiss, brief, and as light as a summer breeze. Then she stepped out of my arms, murmured, “Goodnight, Jun," and went up th< stairs. ‘ ’ —~ (To Be Continued) FsaUrsa Uyadkau. JtEstl

CHAPTER SEVEN ' IN THE morning everything teemed fine, at leant on the surface. At breakfast Sandy and Ralph joked with each other, and once Sandy gave me a special sort of smile. Homer Hollis was quietly humorous, and Mrs. Hollis bustled about urging us to eat more pancakes, scrambled eggs and fried ham. 1 asked about Rex Bishop, ind Homer said he’d had his breakfast hours ago. “He cooks it himself about lawp,” Homer said, “and he won’t let Mom do it for him." "And thank heaven," Mra Holls said, laughing. “I’ve lived on a farm all my life, but five o’clock n the morning is a little too early toe me.” Jake Fortune and Eileen arrived, they said they’d had breakfast, hut accepted coffee and sat at the Mg table with us.

At last we pushed back our shairs. I put on my new hunting coat and we went outside. There was an array of guns on the back porch, and Homer Hollis handed me a .12 gauge double-barreled shotgun and a handful of shells. “That's a good gun, Jim,” he said. “I think you’ll like her." I hefted it. raised it to my shoulder and sighted at a lightning rod

Red Party Seeks To Divert Suspicion Link Allen Dulles To French Scandal PARIS (INSI-4'he French Communist party, apparently trying to divert suspicion from itself, made an effort today to link the name of Allen Dulles with France’s dramatic spy scandal. The head of America's central intelligence agency and brother of secretary of state John Foster Dulles was dragged into the scandal by the Frenchßed* in an apparent effort to Communist headquarters as the receiving point for stolen French defense secrets. The Communist party newspaper Humanite in Paris today published a photo of Allen Dulles among a group of pictures of the leading characters in. the sensational espionage case. The pictures were labelled with this caption: "Behind thesCTaces Is hidden the truth of the leakage affair.’’ The word "leakage” referred to leaks of defense information from top-secret meetings of the French national defense committee. Humanite accused French authorities of refusing to "knock on the only door behind which is the truth — that of the Mafia’which unites former Paris police chief Jean Baylot and former itnerior minister Leon Martlnaud-Deptet reference to the OSS — the American office of strategic services —

It was a fine day, cold and clear, with a bright sun shining over the brown fields. We spread out with about ten yards between us. Homer Hollis was on my left, Jake Fortune on my right Sandy and Ralph were on the wings, with Eileen between her father and Ralph. e Off to our right a pheasant left the shelter ot a corn shock and shot into the air, the sun glinting on the bright red, green and gold of its feathers. Homer shouted, “Sandy! Take it!" Sandy brought her trim little .16 gauge to her shoulder, the gleaming blue barrel following the swift flight ot the bird. The clean crack of the shot echoed over the fields and the bird dropped. Sandy ran to pick it up and held it proudly aloft. . • •v- -- • • - Jake Fortune's laugh boomed out. “First blood,” be said. “Homer, we’U have to do something about that. Can’t let the women get the best of us. How about you and me going over to my place—to a berry thicket I’ve been watching?" Homer smiled, his proud gaze on Sandy, and he said absently, “AU right, Jake,” and he followed the big man across the field. “See you at dinner,” he called over his shoulder at the rest ot us. 1 was glad the party had split up. 1 figuicd that six-in a bunch was too many tor safety, even ts we had been spread out. Suddenly Jake Fortune stopped and called to Eileen, “Want to come with us, honey? That’ll make it eventhree and three." Eileen looked questloningly at Ralph. He grinned and said, “Go ahead. I'll see you at noon." She said something to him that 1 couldn’t hear, and then moved Slowly to join her father and Homer. They walked across the field and disappeared over a pinecrested hill.

Ahead 1 could see a winding row of trees and bushea which marked the crest oi a ravine whicn stretched across the land as tar as 1 could sec. “It runs tor miles,” Ralph said. “There waa water in it at one time, but it's dried up now.” Beyond the ravine was a long sloping mu and a distant outlined against the sky.
