Varicose Veins Common To Arms as Well as Legs

ly HUMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. ONE of the most common types of trouble which may develop with the circulation is the occur- » rence of varicose veins. These an dilated or enlarged veins, occurring most often in the legs, but they are far from unusual in the arms, particularly In women who an overweight This dilation, or stretching of the veins in the arms may affect both sides and may produce pain and numbness and tingling from the shoulder to the fingers. It is believed that the disorder Occurs most often because of a Weakness in the walls of the veins which has been present from the time of birth. In, some cases, there may be •welling under the skin in the region of the armpit. This swelling may be decreased by putting pressure on it, but quickly returns when the pressure is released. The disturbance is not only more common in overweight women, but also is more difficult Io recognize in them. The pain produced by these veins mav be similar to that

year. There are about 377,900 unemployed in the state, many of the coal mines are. Idle and steed production has slumped, giving rise to the possibility that the keystone in GOP control may be headed toward the Democrat party. Leaders in the state want President Eisenhower to make a speech in Philadelphia or Pittsburgh before election day. When the price of coffee started to soar and skyrocketed to -around *1.25 a pound, congress was going to do something about •it. An investigation is now underway in Washington and a Republican congressman testified that in the past seven months Americans paid 293 million dollars in increased coffee prices, and that no shortage of the commodity existed. The market was rigged by manipulators and Brazilian coffee barons, forcing the American housewife to pay the tariff. 0- —o the receiving of bids on the construction of about eight miles of new roadway on US 27 north of Monmouth to the Hoagland road on Oct. 26, will be the first of three contracts planned for the improvement of this highway, those in the know explain. The major contract will be for a stretch of new highway immediately south of Fort Wayne, which will join the present route several miles south of that city. It is planned to award all the contracts so that the various stretches can be built next year. The detours have not yet been worked out. but it is likely that heavy truck traffic will be routed west , to state road 1, known as the -Bluffton highway. 0 9 - Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt celebrated her 70th birthday the other day. At seventy she is still vigorous, youthful in her outlook, and tireless in her activities.

She is a courageous person and never hesitates to take a stand on important matters even when she knows her voice will draw criticism.

.. . SYNOPSIS When the noted sleuth, Jim BennetL i accepted the invitation of his secretary. Sandy Hollis, to join with her family I , for a weekend of pheasant shooting in < nirai Ohio, be looked forward to a . pleasant, quiet time. But when he met her family and friendsOb realized that he was amid a dramSTof human , conflict as tense as anything he'd experienced tn his long crime-detection career. Sandy's younj> war-vet brother, Ralph, had "ditched' r the spirited Judy Kirkland for docile Eileen Fortune, and the hate between these two women flew like sparks. But the pheasant hunt proceeds as scheduled, with the Hollis*. Eileen Fortune and her father Jake, and Bennett, armed and equipped to bring down birds. On a ridge overlooking the Kirkland property. Ralph Hollis ia felled by gun-snot and lies bleeding and unconscious on the ground. Judy Kirkland, wildly distraught. rushes to his side, admitting that she had been shooting back of the ridge, and that her gun may have accidentally got Ralph. The stricken man is taken to a hospital and the long, agonizing vigil at his bedside begins for the Hollis kin. Not satisfied that Judy's gun had got Ralph. Bennett returns to the . scene of the "accident" and a shot nearly gets him. CHAPTER TWELVE JUDY was sprawled in a low canvas deck chair, and was still wearing the jodhpurs. Her feet were bare. They were small and white, the nails neatly clipped, no polish on them. Her bright red flannel shirt was unbuttoned. Her black hair was smoothly combed, and there was a smoldering look in i her gray-green eyes. She held a glass on the arm of the chair. On I the floor beside her was a squat . brown bottle. On a card table beside the window was a portable typewriter. I said, "Didn't you hear me knock?" , “Yes. 1 hoped you would go away." I nodded at her glass. “Now that I’m here, you might offer me a drink.’’ She shrugged. "Help yourself.” ' I did. She said, “Is he dead?" “Not yet." Her eyes brightened. “Then i there’s a —a chance for him?” “Maybe." Tears ran down her cheeks. “I still don't sec how I hit him. All 1 saw was the bird rising in the sun. . . .” “Sure," I said. She brushed away the tears with the sleeve of her shirt. “Did—did you come to tell me about Ralph?” “1 thought you might be inter- , ested,";! said. • Judy said, "I ran and told Eileen and Ralph’s father what—what 1 had done, and 1 couldn't stand to face them any more, and I came here. . . “To your sanctuary?” “I know it’s trite,” she said, “but that’s what it is, this place. 1 come here a loL My aunts don’t mind. All they care about is clipping coupons, listening to the radio' soap operas, and having tea and lettuce sandwiches at four o’clock.” She paused and added m a pleading voice, "Do Sandy apd the others blame me? Are they bitter?” “I don’t think so. It was an accident , ,

She drank from her glass, sum-1 bled briefly with a button of her shirt, and let It hang open. “I’m poison,” she said. “Just call me Poison Kirkland.” * “Why didn’t you marry Ralph when you had him? And why did you have to stir things up last night?” “I’m Jealous, I suppose. I was very fond of Ralph, but at times he was tiresome. You know?” She smiled brightly. “Even so, I would probably have married him —if something hadn’t happened. I could have still had him if I'd made the effort, but 1 let him go. I was amused when I heard that he was engaged to that little Sunday school girl, Eileen Fortune, the All-American girl,'so wholesome. They made a good pair. And, besides, Ralph was going into service, and so 1 dropped IL But when he came back last week, I knew 1 wanted to see him again just “To see what would happen, and maybe convince yourself that you could still have him —it you wanted him?” 1 asked. She nodded gloomily. “Something like that, 1 suppose. Afterward 1 was sorry. I’m always sorry—afterward. 1 knew you all were going hunting this morning, and 1 decided to go out, too, hoping that 1 would see Ralph and Eileen, and tell them 1 was sorry.” “You saw Ralph, all right,” 1 said, e She said evenly. "Get out of here.” "This is a sanctuary. Remember?!' a> ' “Not for you." “What happened between you and Ralph ? Or is it too personal a question?" The anger seemed to have left her as suddenly as it had come. “It’s a very personal question, my friend. Very, very. Ralph caught me klsaing a man,” she said. "It was all v<ry tnaocent. really.” “Os course,” 1 said. "Ralph must be frightfully narrow-minded.” "It didn t mean anything,” she said sullenly. "Not to me or the man, Just one ot those things. I was deathly bored that day, and this man stopped to sec me, a friend, a writer, from New York on his way to the coast—if 1 told you his name, you wouldn't believe me—and we got talking and forgot that 1 had a dinner date with Ralph, and—well, Ralph walked in on us here.” “Then what?” I was very interested. She shrugged. “Nothing. Ralph Just looked at us and then turned around and walked out of the room. I let him go.” "He didn't follow the script,” I said. "He should have thrown the man out and beaten you." “Not Ralph," she said. ”1 wish he had." “And so Eileen Fortune got him ?” She nodded. “Sweet little Eileen, the high school cheer leader." “And Lari Scllzmau was Icll

I’ve nated EarLSeltzman ever since he was a kid. She finished her drink, sighed and stretched and wiggled her bare toes. “I seem to be weary," she said, yawning. 1 said, “I saw a rifle in your car." She looked at me quickly. “What Os it?”. •“You don’t hunt pheasant with a rifle.” “Os course not. I thought I’d go over to the big place after 1 while and shoot rats. They’re running wild over there. 1 supposs you have some more snooping u do?" “That wasn’t a nice - thing U say.” . ......... “I’m not nice." “That could be a matter of opin ion,” 1 said.

Senate Group Coffee Probe Is Continuing Income Tax Returns Os Merchants May Be Investigated WASHINGTON (INS) — Sen. J. Glenn Beall (R Md.), said today that an investigation of the soaring price of coffee may turn eventually to income tax returns of therchants who deal in the commodity. His senate banking subcommittee which resumed hearings Tuesday on the climb of coffee prices early this year was scheduled to question agriculture department spokesmen today. When a newsman asked Beall if he planned to delve into the tax returns of people who reaped what he described as 293 million dollars in extra coffee profits from January to August of this year, he replied: “We may. We’re going to have to find out who got the profit—whether it was the grower, the producer, the broker or buyer.” After Tuesday's hearing, Beall told reporters that the a nation might be able to look forward to the return of a five-cent cup of coffee. If and when federal restrictions are clamped on marketing the commodity. He said that his hearings so far have “shown there is a justification" tor future legislation to place the New York coffee and sugar exchange under the jurisdiction of the agriculture department's -commodity exchange authority. This idea was opposed by the New York exchanges two top officials—president Guslavo Lobo and vice president Leon Israel. Both testified at Tuesday's session, and firmly denied the federal trade commission’s charge that their exchange was largely to blame foi the January-August upward spurt in coffee prices. Joseph S. Petersen Is Freed On Bail WASHINGTON (INS) — Joseph S.
