A BLACK EYE

A black eye, to . person who has
not sense Of humor, is an unfor-
tunate affliction, and is apt to be 4
subject of jest at the hands Of
friends. The best thing to do under
these circumstances is to grin and
admit the worst.
Doctors have termed this condi-
ton "echymosis palpebrae," which
means q discoloration Of the skin Of
the eyelids by bruise, which allows
the escape Of blood from the small
blood vessels into the tissues of the
eyelids.
The tissues about the eye are par
ticularly susceptible to bruising,
since they are very soft and have
hard bones of the cheek and the ridge
bone Of the eye socket just beneath.
Anything that strikes this area
crushes the flesh and causes a Sc
we're bruise. Individuals having high
cheek bones are more apt to receive
a black eye from a blow than those
without the prominent bony ridge
formation.
A black eye usually requires from
one to two weeks for the absorption
Of most Of the blood, and usually
some discoloration remains from
three weeks to a month longer, but
there is much difference between in
dividuals. Those having q good cir
culation do not suffer much from
puffiness and the discoloration does
not last long. Others, with poorer
circulations, may have badly swollen
eyelids that remain discolored for a
much longer time.
When you are first struck in the
eye by the 'doorknob" or "golf ball."
it is advisable to apply cold COM
presses Immediately and continue to
do so for at least an hour. Ice water
is the most satisfactory, since it
will greatly retard the flow Of blood
into the tissues. The good old-fash.
Toned remedy of applying raw steak
to the eye had its virtue largely in
the fact that it was cool and moist,
After two or three days, when all
danger Of increasing the hemorrha9e
of the blood under the skin is over,
you may begin gentle massage
about the eye to assist in the alb
sorption of the blood. Warm applica-
lions and gently rubbing in cold
cream are also helpful. I do not adj
wise puncturing the skin to drain
away the blood unless the case is
very severe, and then it should be
performed by a doctor, as otherwise
serious infection might result.
IT you are lady, and do not wish
your husband to be accused Of beat
ing you up, you can apply a flesh
colored theatrical makeup stick to
the bruised area. When this is
powdered it will almost completely
hide the discoloration. You can buy
this theatrical preparation at almost
any drugstore. If you are a man,
the best thing to do is to broadly
grin and say, "You should have seen
the other fellow"

relief. For, while the Republican
leaders have boldly and unequivocal-
ly eschewed the McNary-Haugen bill
and although that measures strong
est Republican supporters among
office-holders have fallen back into
the regular lines with promises to
the farmers that Hoover can be
depended on to help them, Smith
and National Chairman Raskob have
seemed to he flirting with the equal
ization fee as much as they dared.
The trouble is, of course, that
while the Democrats are anxious to
break into the agricultural states,
any outright espousal of the Nc
ary-Haugen plan woald probably
be ruinous in the large eastern cities,
where Smith is especially strong. At
the same time it is good politics fer
both parties to promise the farmers
all they can afford to promise them.
Mindful Of 1882, it is safe to bet that
whichever party is elected will un-
dertake to effect some sort Of farm
relief.
In 1860 and the years leading up
to the campaign of that year, poor
Stephen A. Douglas was sunk as he
tried to straddle the slavery issue.
The modern presidential candidate
has variety of issues on which he
must hedge. His consolation is that
his opponent is similarly afflicted.
It may be significant that the So
cialists, the only ones to tackle is
sues with entire fearlessness, never
get any votes. Meanwhile they
haven't anything to lose by their
bravery.

"Mama" Rabinowitz is no longer
young. And yet time has not played
so many tricks on her memory as it
might.
She can remember, for instance,
when the grocery on the ground floor
OF what once was her home had no
paper bags or wrapping paper for
its wares. One had to go with
market basket or with the family
plates and bowls and carry away the
days purchases. She remembers
when paper bags were for the car
riage trade" Poor folk, who could
not drive up in carriages, had to
carry their goods as best they might.
"Mama" Rabinowitz came from
Russia. She was a baby then, in the
arms of mother who had escaped a
Jewish pogrom and made her pre-
carious way to the free country.
When scarce able to stand on tiptoes
she had seen New York from the
second floor (front) Of Varick and
Dominic streets. There was a big
triangular window from which to
peer. She had played as child on
the fire escapes. And when she was
old enough to listen, she was told Of
her mothers flight to this country.
There were many others in our
family" her mother would tell her.
"And ] do not know what has hap
pened to them. There are sisters and
brothers, uncles and aunts and cous-
ms. Maybe they all died. Maybe,
some day they will come. When you
grow up you must wait for them to
come and welcome them. You must
send back word where they can find
you. soon shall die, and then there
will be but YOU"
The child grew to a girl and the
girl to woman. Through the tri-
anglcd windows of Varick and DOM
mic streets the eyes Of girl and wom-
an looked out upon a changing
world. They saw a quaint old Sec
ton turn into busy thoroughfare
and hectic city swirl all around.
But the old place managed always to
escape.
mama" Rabinowitz has seen three
generations of children come and 20
from that corner and that room. She
has seen them born; she has watched
them grow, marry and reproduce.
She has seen some die. And always
she has watched from the window for
some of "those others" who never
came. She always thought someone
would come from Russia, some day;
some one who represented the old
lire.
Well, they asked "Mama" Rabin-
owitz to move-just few months
back. The place was condemned. It
was going to be torn down. OF course
The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1928-09-19

yes, she would understand! The
city was growing all around. Things
had to change. She must 20.
Now Mama" Rabinowitz has
gone from her window. She has
disappeared somewhere into the
great East Side, into a section as
strange to her as foreign land.
The corner had always been her
home and her children's home. It
was like an old family estate to her.
Uncomprehending, a bit dazed by
the change, she has gone.
And they're putting up sky
scrapcr where the room stood-sec-
ond floor (front).
But, then, a skyscraper isn't news.

Question: Miss D. NJ. writes: Il
have been drinking milk to gain
weight, a pint for breakfast, . pint
at ten o'clock, at three o'clock and
before retiring. Have been drinking
it this way for two months but do not
seem to gain much. Do drink
enough? Do drink it at the right
hours 2"
Answer: If you take your milk
along with other foods you will only
bring on some disorder because of
this overlooking. If you want to
try to gain weight through taking
the milk diet it is necessary to give
up all other foods. Then take a glass
OF milk every half hour during the
day which will give YOU about six
quarts daily. II you can drink this
much you are bound to gain weight.
but it might not be good weight, and
may leave you after you have
stopped taking the milk as fast as
you put 1t on during the milk diet.

all right to eat cucumbers and ice
cream at the same meal?"

make q COED combination, providing
the cucumbers are not favored with
dressing and the ice cream is made
OF real cream and does not contain
any cornstarch.
Question: Marcia asks: "WilJ
massaging the legs every night with
hot olive oil tend to fatten them?
Would the oil increase the growth Of
hair on the legs"
Answer: Very little can be done
to correct the shape of the body
through massage. The thighs can
be developed to some extent through
exercise, but the calves Of the lie

become thinner and the muscles more
bunchy through exercise. Very little
oil is absorbed through the skin, and
even when it is absorbed it does not
remain IN that part but is taken up
by the blood or lmyphatics. If the
skin becomes healthier BY massage
there is more liability that the hair
will grow longer. The oil has moth.

Washington, Sept. 19.-Of all the
unusual angles in the current pres-
idential campaign, there is probably
no more curious spectacle than that
Of each major party being forced to
carry water on both shoulders
while walking the same tightrope,
with penalties for awkwardness.
While large numbers of voters are
undoubtedly perplexed at the spec
tacie and many are as yet unable to
decide how to vote, it is rather to
be feared that some persons who do
not take their politics very seriously
are finding the campaign a source
Of amusement.
The lay citizen might feel some-
what embarrassed if he were to find
himself in the seemingly awkward
situation of either party, but sue
cessful politicians are VIGOROUSLY
and necessarily thick-skinned, and
also experienced in the art 81 max
ing one appeal to one segment of the
electorate and an exactly opposite
appeal to the rest.
There is q touch Of the bizarre in
a situation which finds the Republic
can vice presidential candidate and
a large number of eastern Republi-
can newspapers and politicians in
the east urging the voters to defeat
Smith because he can't change the
prohibition laws and at the same
time reveals many Democratic SPELL
binders assuring voters that they can
afford to vote for Smith-because he
can't change the prohibition laws!
The answer is, of course, that it
is good politics for the Republicans
to tell the vets that AL offers no
hope, and to tell the drys that he's
serious menace. It is equally good
politics for the Democrats to tell the
vets that AL will lead them out of
the desert and to tell the drys that
he would be hogtied.
None of AIS followers is trying to
prove that he is actually a dry, after

THE MYSTERY OLLIE

From the time when people lived in caves there have
always been certain who chose to cut loose from
all divine writings and revelations and seek for them
selves, the secret of the origin and purpose of life.
Their searchings have added good deal to the sum
total of human knowledge, to be But the plain
matter of fact explanation they seek has always euded
them.
Now comes Professor C. Lovatt Evans one of Eng
lands foremost scientists to that the mystery
OF lifes origin and purpose will be solved by any
scientist. Always, he says there will remain an uti-
mate riddle that no laboratory worker can answer.
Perhaps this is because people, after ALL aren't really
matter of fact or commonplace at all.
Study your fellow man in the mass, day by day, and
you may see nothing extraordinary about him. He is
1T times. quite and blind and selfish and ignorant
and cowardy. You almost persuaded that there is
no trace Of divinity in him-that he u.s. after ALL only an
animated clod.
Then, if you look closely, you begin to see things
You see, beside the gnoble qualities strange ca
pacites for sacrifice endurance courage fidelity hope
You see mother in the slums starving herself to
provide little extra food for the child.
You see underpad factory drudge working his life
away so that people who depend on him may live
You see man with vision giving up riches and
honor in order to make the world better place for
men and women who are not yet born.
You see men fighting poverty, sickness and hunger in
order to pursue some glimpse Of truth.
You see men weaving songs and sharing beauty in
net Of words while cities 60 down in flames about their
ears. s4
And, now and then you hear battle rumpets and see
flags waving, and thousands upon thousands Of men
step up without hesitation to die at someone eses
bidding. in the vague hope that somehow the world will
be made bit better thereby
Will you keep on looking. them for matter Of fact
