BIRTHMARKS
. By H. Addington Bruce


| II VERY parent having a child with a dis
II figuring birthmark ought to be in
formed that such marks are, as rule
removable. And every parent of such child
should without delay take counsel with a
skin specialist relative to the birthmark's
removal.
For of the brthmark really disffgures it
will mean a handicap on the chid's success
and happiness in life.
Men and women badly marked from birth
have, it is true, won both happiness and
success, sometimes outstanding success
Among my own acquaintance is notably
famous man who is burdened with se~i-
ously disfguring wine-colored birthmark on
one cheek.
But the consciousness of possessing such
mark breeds, as a general thing, lends sue
cess-impeding bashfulness and diffdence.
1t may become even in early life a source
of positive isery, under the taunts of I'M
thinking playmates. More than one child
has been impeled to do away with himself
or herself because of the psychic pain due
to some birthmark. At best marked chill
dren tend to unhealthy habits of seclusive-
ness and broodng.
And, as 6+sted, there are few birthmarks
which modern medical science is incapable of
removing.
The method of removal, of course, varies
according to the character of the birthmark.
For some marks surgery may be needed.
Others yield most surely to electrolysis, espe-
cially the so-called spider marks, having
small centers with radiations.
Electroysis also is used to some extent for
the removal of the more common Wine-cOl-
ored marks. But modern practice seems to
be inclining more and NOR to attack these
with what is known as carbon dioxde snow.
"Electroly3iS, in the case of 'port-wine
stains,' - comments Wilfrid TX, in Latham S
and English System of Treatment ''is
most unsatisfactory Even after repeated
sittings the result is usually a pitted I'M
evenly cOlOred surface"
The ''sDow" treatment consists, essentially,
in the application to the birthmark of cone
of solidified carbon dioXide gas. This is ap-
piled with a firm pr ssure for not more than
fifteen seconds. A blister forms and ulti-
mately falls off, leaving little or no scar.
The application itself is almost painless,
though afterward there is likely to be an I'M
pleasant tingling sensation. If great care is
taken-Fox says that repeated treatments of
but few seconds duration give the best re-
sults-the birthmarL will be entirely done
away with.
Liquid air is sometimes used, but it is
more painful than the "sEoW' treatment.
Radium may also be utilized, especially for
the removal of large, tu5eroUs marks. 1t is
not so efficacious in the case of the fiat, red
colored ones, and, concerning its use as a
birthmark destroyer, Drs. Montgomery and
Culver add the warning:
zone fundamental principle to bear in
mind is that it is far better to err on the
side of screening too much
Altogether, then, it would seem correct to
say, with Isadore Dyer:
''The most satisfactory treatment OF most
forms of naevus (birthmark) is with carbon
dioXide snow"

DOROTHY DIX TALKS-LOOK PLEASANT, PLEASE


These few words are addressed to the old,
and to those who are growing old
begin by asking you a point blank ques-
ton
How do you make your life for the mem
bers of your family?
Are your children and your grandchildren
waiting with what patience they can sum-
mon for you to die so that they may be free
to do as they please about their own af-
fairs?
Are you a burden, and an affliction that
it takes the courage of martyr to bear?
Or are you gentle, and mellow, and toler-
ant, and wise, benediction on the home
wherein you dwell?
You are one, or the other In the many
long hours in which you sit with folded
hands, search your conduct, and see to which
class you belong. And if you find that you
belong to the class of old people who are
pests who destroy all of the happiness of the
young, reform yourself. 1t is never too late
to mend you know.
Listen, grandma and grandpa Do Won ever
think of the significance of this when-you
hear woman say, "Oh, yes, am perfectly
crazy to have colonial porch built on the
south side of the house, and some day am
going to do it. But mother is old and she
doesn't want anything changed, and so we
will make no alterations as long as she lives.s'
Or perhaps you will hear a woman, who is
herself mlddle-aged say, "The dream of my
life is to travel and to spend the winter in
some Dig city, put L can never do 1t as
long as mother lives. She won't hear of hav-
ing maid to wait on her, so 1 can not leave
her; but some time when I have the freedom
to do as 1 like, am going to see the
world"
Or man will say that he knows he is
doing business in a slip-shod, old-fashioned
way, and that he can never make any
changes as long as his father is alive but as
soon as his father passes away he will entirely
re-organize his store or factory.
You hear people make remarks such as
these every day, grandpa and grandma and
stripped of the glittering generalities with
which they have clothed the brutal facts, it
simply means that all of these people are
waiting for death to set them free of the
tyrannical, and narrow-minded and disagree
able old parents to whom they are bound.
1t is pretty dismal thought, isn't it, that
those nearest and dearest to us are waiting
for us to die in order to enjoy themselves, and
do the things they want to do, and that we
are the shadow on their sunshine?
But it is our fault if we have made life
with us simply an endurance test, and that
is what so many old people do by their
whims, and their crotchets, and their hard

DANGEROUS CURVES
By DR.. Frank. Crane

The other day I saw an interesting movie.
1t was by Rupert Hughes and was called
Danger Curves Ahead" or something like
that
1t was not a story. 1t a slice of life.
We were shown the man and the maid,
counting, marrying, having children, and l1V-
ing alone. There was no particular plot.
The story did not start from some one definite
point and proceed toward another,
But neither does an Ibsen drama have a
conventional climax, nor does Wagner opera
Wagner hardly ever even closes his musical
phrases, but leaves you with a sense of in
completeness.
Life is like that. There is no grand climax
after which we live happily ever after. There
is even no villain, who appears, is foiled,
and disappears. Often as not he keeps bob
bling up.
The only dramatic thing about life is
death. That is final, definitive. "Thats all.
There isn't any more"
But the point about the Dangerous Curve
story is that this young couple had twenty
OPPORTUNITIES to smash things, but somehow
they did not.
Mostly do not.
There are occasions for ultimate decisions
aplenty, for settling things once for all, Tor
packing up and leaving, for abscondlng or
divorce or burning down the house, or having
done with the whole business. Only we side
step.
nave walked past d uOLSu tIdS6ulSS oAAO0
Sunday, and so have you.
The fact is that we all have reserves OF
common sense, Judgment, and decency that
usually keep us from making fools of our
selves. That is, most always.
Sometimes a train runs off the track but
most of the trains stay on.
Sometimes we lose control and have fist
flight, or tell a man what we think of him
tafterward wishing we had nOt), or plunge
into the divorce court, but as rule we rub
along and things come around all right, or
at least com S around better than they would
have come if we had spilled the beans.
We all have deal more ballast than we
think.
Violence, tragedy and Desperate deeds are
unusual. That is why the newspaper prints
them.
In fact it is the tendency of the newspaper
the novel, and the play to strain Tor the IN
usual, and hence their view of life is Dit
distorted.
1t is comfort once in while to see play
like Tfughes's where the ordinary is made
interesting.

Meet Your Buddy"

~ HARLES S. HARRISON post of the
American Legion at Columbus, Geor-
gia, is to be congratulated on its de-
termination to make the third annual State
convention of the Georgia department Of the
Legion, not onl. a convention of Legion
naires, but the first annual reunion of Geor-
gia's former service men and women.
Adopting as it's slogan, Meet your buddy
in Columbus July 4, and g. the Harrison
post is the parent of an innovation that
should be.fo-- owed by every other city in the
State that is fortunate enough to secure sub
seuuent gatherings of World War Heroes. 1t
is fine step towards increasing the mem
bership of the Legion in Georgia in addition
to giving the veterans of the present genera
ton an opportunity to meet on common
ground and in common council from year to
year.
While the membership of the American
Legion in Georges is large, there are nun
dreds of former service men and women VINO
have not yet joined the organization, but
who, upon being brought in close contact
with the Legion at these gatherings, Will
realize it's great force for good and suDse-
uuently align themselves with it.
The innovation of the Columbus post
probably will do more towards enlarging and
strengthening the American Legion in Geor-
gia than any other factor since its inception
three years ago.

Noise and Disease

DR.. Holmes observation that "silence like
poultice comes to heal the blows Of sound"
is being turned to practical account by the
health commissioner of New York city Ex
cessive noise, he holds, is no less of menace
to the commonWeal than insanitation, and
therefore should be diligently suppressed,
The effect of noise on the nervous system,
the public is admonished, "is as dangerous
as bodily disease, its constant wear and tear
lowering the vitality and thus reducing the
power to resist attacking germs and other ills
Atlanta thoroughfares offend in this re-
spect as much as those of other busy and fast
growing cities. There has been much i'm
prOVement of late in the matter of unneces-
sary motor honking and putting at points Of
traffic congestion, but there is still wide lati-
tude for general reform. To make needless
noise is to add to the stress and strain Of an
age already sorely tried; it is to cut further
into frayed nerves, and ofttimes to harm ones
neighbOr more seriously than would hard
blow dealt the body. The noise and hurry
which are taken as evidences of business vigOr
are in fact but signs Of inefficiency and in
considerateness. They gain nothing, and they
lose much,
