John Wentworth had been sitting there, his eyes on the fire, since | the close of a second and briefer | conference with Oscar Montanne. |

The second conference had been very different from the first. In | the first he had pitted his wits | against a man who had once been | his friend. A man who had turned | suddenly into an enemy, determined | upon his ruin, And then, Jill had come in to | announce her engagement to Oscar Montanne's son. There had been a second transformation then, even more startling than the first. Everything had been sweetness and light. They had gone back to the study from the ballroom. He and Mon- | tanne.

It was humiliating to find suddenly that the balance of power through which he was holding his immense investments was a sheer economic hairline; and that the loss of one powerful financial adherent could change the scene that his own power, personality and business acumen had | kept in its present focus. He was tired. Infinitely weary of | the strain.

The example of successful tax dodging by a minority. of very rich individuals breeds efforts by other people to dodge other laws as well as tax laws.—President Roosevelt.

The very foundations of democracy are based on the foundation that most people are good.—John G. Winant, former Social Security Board head.

Q—Do honey bees attack sound grapes? A—Experiments by entomologists have proved conclusively that honey bees cannot break the skin of sound grapes with their mouthparts. Bees confined with bunches of sound grapes will die of starvation. Where the skin of the grape has been broken by other insects or fungous disease, bees attack the grapes at the injured places and may quickly reduce the fruit to a worthless condition. Injury by bees is best avoided by protecting the fruit from insects and disease which interfere with its soundness. In the absence of spraying, fruit in danger of attack by bees can be protected by bagging the bunches after the fruit is well set, or shortly before ripening begins. Q—Who appoints the pagesin the U. S. Senate and House of Representatives? ‘What are the age limits and how much are they paid? A—Pages in Congress are appointed upon the recommendation of the members of the House and the Senate. Boys between the ages of 12 and 16 are eligible, The pay is $4 a day, Sundays and holidays included, while Congress is in session. ’

Q—What proportions of asphalt and linseed oil shall I mix to use as a roof paint? A—Mixtures of asphalt and linséed oil when combined with a volatile thinner to form a paint or varnish are not recommended for outdoor exposures on roofs. A

can be varied to suit the job by increasing or decreasing the amounts of volatile thinner, A small amount of drying oil can be added to the mixture, if desired.

Q-—-Do any Negro tribes have red hair? A-—Negro tribes, both in the Pacific islands and Africa, sometimes | bleach their hair red with lime, or (rub red coloring mat'er into it.

By Dr, Morris Fishbein American Medical Journal Editor

HE common inflammation of the skin with blackheads and

pimples is usually called acne, There is, however, another condition called

acne to which the additional term |

rosacea is applied. In this condition the nose and cheeks become very red and sometimes there is great enlargement of the end of the nose called “whisky nose” or “grog blossom.” This is unforfunate because many people with this disease have never touched alcoholic liquors. The condition frequently starts as a slight redness of the tip of the nose. Later the nose gets blue and cold to the touch. Gradually the condition will spread over the middle two-thirds of the face and on the forehead. » " » HE skin may be oily and the pores will stand out like large holes. In the area affected there will be no doubt many enlarged blood vessels. Due to the damage of the skin that takes place, the large pores may become filled with material of a blackhead type. Sometimes the condition will get tc the area around the eyes and bring about inflammation of the eyes. As there is repeated healing and scarring in this condition the nose may become wrinkled and folds will appear, » » w HE condition seems to affect men more often than women.

‘Women, however, are usually more

concerned about their appearance and will consult a physician so as have treatment sooner, seo that the the very severe cases are seldom seen in women. Sometimes this disturbance is related to a disturbance of the digestion. In other cases it seems to be related in women to disturbances of their special functions, Tn a few cases excessive exposure seems to be responsible, as the condition was
