SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. Louis e. Bisch--

ECzEMA is one of the COM
- monest of skin affections
and it may be got by the
workers in various kinds Of
trades and industries if they
are not careful in keeping up
the general health or otherwise
are careless.
In the first place one should
point out that eczema is an in
flammation of the skin.
It's symptoms are swelling
and rednesS of the affected skin
area: sometimes raised places
like blisterS, which contain
fluid, even plS: a general in
crease of moisture in the skin
texture; thickening Of the skin;
often scaling and itching: some
times cracking Of the skin,
especially~in long standing cases.
Eczema is not uncommon
among workers in chemical fac
tories where arsenic is used.
Since arsenic is used to pre-
serve animal skins, furriers
often develop the disease.
BARRIERS and hair-dressing
saloon attendants often get
eczema Of the hands. because
they have their hands wet so
often and are careless about
drying them thoroughly.
The same may be said Of
scrubwomen or household work
ers from washing clothes, etc.
The use Of borax in the water
also tends to produce the con-
dition.
Cement workers may develop
eczema. Those engaged in the
manufacture and use of aniline
dyes are prone to it. Brick
layers may develop it from
handling wet mortar.
Cleaning establishments use
quantities Of acids in bleaching
as well as chloride of lime and
benzine for cleaning purposes.
These substances, because of
the irritation they set. up, can
cause eczema Of the hands.
Even the doctors may develop
an eczematous condition from
using antiseptics too often in
preparing their hands for oper-
ationS, etc. .-..
Those who handle fruit may
get eczema from the irritation
Of the skin by some fruits and
their acids.
Hair-dye workers and the
men and women who use hair
dyes should be careful of their
hands.
Furniture polish usually con-
tains alcohol and may produce
inflammation of the skin.
EnamelerS. glass workers,
gold refiners are subject to
eczema Workers in laundries
are often affected.
Since chemicals are used for
some Of the dyes in the manu-
facture of wall paper, paper.
hangers may develop, the dis

The New Planet
By Archibald Henderson, Ph. d., LII. D.

puts forward a philosophical sys-
tenn which describes motion and
even time itself as made up of a
series of successive discontin-
uitieS.
For the time being, then, the
grand principle of casualty
seems to have been upset. It
is a consequence of the guam
tum theory. says Eddington,
that physics is no longer
pledged to a scheme Of deter.
ministic law" Perhaps like
causes do not always produce
like effects.
Only the other day Einstein
wrote: 1T is only in the guam
tum theory that Newton's diff
ferential method becomes mad
equate, and indeed strict casu-
ality tells US. But the last word
has not yet been said. May
the spirit Of Newton'S method
give us the power to restore
unison between physical reality
and the profoundest character
istic of Newton'S teaching
strict casualty"
Another extraordinary discov-
cry, made by HeiSenberg, is
known as the Principle of Inde-
terminacy. It runs counter to
the teachings of elementary
common sense. It simply means,
badly stated, that we cannot
scientifically predict the future
with the old certainty.
Let us take a particle with a
certain position and velocity.
Then, in terms of the older
physics, we could accurately
predict the PARTICLES position at
any given instant.
But, according to Heisenberg,
the Principle of Indeterminacy
says a particle may have posi-
tion or it may have velocity,
but it cannot in any exact
sense have both. The closer
you fix the velocity, the less
close you fix the position, and
vice versa.

THE MARRY
GO-ROUND
By Helen Rowland
The "LOve-Panic"

The "LOve-Panic"
lust about this time of year,
u many a perfectly sane
young man is attacked by
strange malady. called the
"loVe-panic."
It's symptoms are alternate
eXhilaration and depression;
giddy head and cold feet; flut-
tering pulse and unreaSoning
fear. All of which are merely
the growing pains" of the
heart, from which a man suf-
ferS, when he is afraid that
he is falling in love-and
doesn't want to.
Women never have the Glove
panic" A girl always knows
when she is falling in love.
She has been expecting it from
childhood and floats into it as
gracefully and naturally as a
swan into water.
But a man is always so cock
sure that he never can and
never WILL fall in love, that
he simply won't believe it
when it happens to him. He
struggles against it as he str!lg-
giles against a spring cold or
fever; and fights it with all
the antidoteS he can conjure
up, from plunging into work
to running away, or even pur-
suing the wrong girl.
And the more he fights--the
harder he falls!
The first thing the average
man does, when he discovers
that a particular girl is be-
ginning to mean more to him
than any Of the others. is to
assure her, frankly and brutally,
that he is NOT the marrying
kind. That he never has been
in love and doubts that he
ever shall be. That he likes
her "just for companionship,"
and all that sort of thing.
THAT" he figures, will
HOLD her!"
- the girl is inexperienced,
this is something of a shock.
But, if she. is wise, she recog.
nizeS the symptoms. and merely
smiles understandingly and
agrees with him that ne is
probably a born misogynist
and of the perennial bachelor"
type-cold, wise and impreg-
nable.
' And the next moment, he is
yearning to take her in his
arms-and take it all back.
One minute he is planning
to pack up, hop a train and
flee from her, forever-and the
next, he is seized with cold
fright for fear she may escape
him. One minute. he won 1ers
if she is trying to rope him
in-and the next he wonders
If he can ever hope to win
such Q paragon.

CIR ISAAC NEWTON was su-
~ premely great as a scientist,
chiefly because he had complete
mastery of the tools Of his
trade. He not only thoroughly
understood the contributions Of
his predecessors: he knew how
to organize and coordinate
them into an organic, universal
system.
= The Principal is the greatest
scientific tour de force in his
tory, because Newton employed
the extraordinarily difficult
discipline of geometry for
working out his results. When
he needed a new system for
carrying on his calculations and
researches, he invented it: the
system of the differential cal
culuS.
Science today is encounter
ing q series Of extraordinary
anomalies. contradictions, which
appear to violate some of the
long accepted and fundamental
principles Of the past. The
principle Of the differential cal
culus presumes that all changes
take place by series Of infinit-
eSimal changes.
The principle was laid down
and generally accepted that ma
ture does not proceed by leaps
and bounds, by gaps and discon-
tinuities. This was believed by
Darwin no less than by Newton,
by Kant no less than by Leib-
nitz.
Nowadays we are confronted
- by the famous quantum theory.
Discontinuity displaces contin-
uity. Energy acts, not by con-
tinuous, infiniteSimal changing
process, but in groups, punches,
quanta.
In the field of biology, De
Vries has advanced the muta-
tions theory which ascerts that
species originate by leaps: "eVo-
luton by explosion" Bergson
