MILADY BEAUTIFUL
BY LOIS LEEDS.

The reader of this column is perhaps
more interested in how to get rid of
birthmarks than in their cause. A skin
specialist can remove them in most
cases. Operators in electrolysis also
treat these blemishes, but one should
seek a doctors advice before going to
non-medical operator for such work.
The mole is the commonest form of
birthmark. When a woman has her
moles removed it is usually for cosmetic
reasons, but there is more serious side
of the problem. We have all heard of
cancers developing from moles, espe-
cially from very dark ones. When these
blemisheS are so situated that they are
subjected to constant irritation from
the rubbing of clothing or adjacent
skin surfaces they should be removed
They should never be treated with acids
nor given a series of treatments, since
to do so causes more irritation. When
there is danger or suspicion of cancer
the moles should be removed without
delay.
There is not much danger of cancer
developing from the on-pigmented
types of birthmark, but if they are sub
ject to any sort of irritation medical
advice should be sought. It is unwise
and unnecessary to take any chances
when dealing with such abnormalities.

atty. The victim may be found weeks
or months later far away from home,
suddenly waking up confused as to who
he is and how he came there. He has
been living a Split-off, detached life; 1t
may be under a different name, with
the memories of the old life broken, and
in that state pursuing new activities.
Such an episode the French call a
fugue. Suddenly the old self revives,
or it may be the daZe lifts gradually.
There is even case in which victim
of fugue looked himself up in who's
Whs" to find out who he was. To such
strange issues may this conflict of
urges-of the homing instinct and the
wandering instinct-lead in the neu-
rotic cases.
For the urge to home is equally
strong. One of its familiar results IS
inconsistencies, or noStalgia-becoming
sick for" home instead of of home.
For most of us the urge to home is
stronger than the urge to roam. We
are home bodies. attached to the IA
niliar. even settling into a rut. more
bent on making than on breaking home
ties. AS children we seek the safety of
the familiar and are frightened by the
strange. To be lost is a terrible expert
ence. The nomadic ,period is an old
one in the story of man, which without
the element of venture and colonizing,
and exploring and pioneering. would
make the story of human habitation
dull.
The romantic urge is akin to the
urge to travel and to wander. Yet
that same story is more largely one
of settlement and the urge to establish
and make a home. It is the life of
Jacob rather than that of Esau. Prop
erty is a great support of the honing
instinct; family still more SO. Thus
from small scale to a large one is the
story of man one of the double salts
faction of the urge to settle amid the
familiar and to travel and wander far
afield. Both are anchored deep in the
psychology of human nature.

A Move for international
Friendship

The desire for closer ties OF friendship and fellow
ship always has existed among the right thinking men
on both sides Of the Rio Grande, and a banquet such
as was held at the FL Jardin hotel in Brownsville Fri
day night merely serves to accent that desire and 70
bring it a little closer to realization.
This was the burden Of the addresses.
And it is entirely true. Men with pure intentions,
realizing the brotherhood OF al men, can see no rea-
son why a river should form an insurmountable bar
rier TO the development Of true friendship and under
standing.
Only ignorance and wrong intent can separate two
people into hostile camps.
There always has been better understanding and
closer cooperation between the citizens Of Browns
Vile and the citizens OF Matamoros than between the
citizens OF the United States and the citizens Of
Mexico.
The reason for this is closer contact and conSe-
quently better acquaintance.
It has been said that II the differences between the
two nations could be submitted to residents OF Browns
Vile and Matamoros for settlement there would be
no strained relations.
The gathering last night which numbered among
those present representatives Of all branches Of gov
eminent represented in the two cities. including Gus
toms and immigration. will serve to bind even closer
the understanding OF the two cities and cannot help
but eventually reach the broader field OF national
relations.
1t was a happy thought-the calling Of such a
meeting and the local Lions club deserves the thanks
Of the citizens of both cities. And the Brownsville
Chamber Of Commerce by cooperating in the plan
performed a valuable service.
Bascom Cox. assistant county attorney and all
these who assisted him in the arrangements may well
feel proud Of the event and the part they played in it.
But that was only the beginning. There should
be other such gatherings at frequent intervals. They
might well become che Of the border cities most i'm
uortant institutions.
