Paterson, N. J., Sept 12-(U. P.) Four two-gun bandits literally shook down" 50 pool room pa- irons in comic opera holdup last night which netted more than $1,- 500.
 Each victim was ordered to re- move his trousers, from which the money was shaken out upon pool table. When the last man had been partially disrobed, the bandits scooped up the money and scram- bled the trousers, tying knots thor oughly in the legs. The bundle was then thrown into a corner, and the bandits fled.

Your Health and Diet
By Logan Clendening, M. d.

A gentleman writes me about
his little boy and draws the fol
lowing picture:
"The nails are rough and
break easily, never growing clear
out to the tips of the fingers.
It looks as if he were in the
habit of biting his nails, but
this he does not do"
There are several possible
causes for this condition. One
is infection Of the nail beds
with the ordinary germs which
produce pus. In this case the
root of the nail is likely to be
red and swollen and painful.
A far commoner cause, and
one which is seldom suspected,
is ringworm infection Of the
nail bed. Infection, that is, by
one of the same group of or
ganisms that causes what is
known as athletes foot"
"The practitioner will be wise
if he suspects ringworm when
ever he encounters abnormal
nails" says a learned derma-
tologist.
Perhaps the only sign of the
condition will be a number of
tiny depresSions in one, several,
or all of the nails of the fingers
and toes. Transverse ridges or
burrows are also suspicious.
The Washington times., 1932-01-23

Contrary to the pyogenic in
fection mentioned above there
may be no pain or redness of
the nail bed. The parts are gen.
orally very dry. The nail be-
come powdery and lose their
healthy translucency and bril-
lance.
Treatment is by no means
simple. The patient should be
warned not to become discour-
aged. It often takes several
courses of treatment lasting
over a year or two.
During trea a tment gloves
should be worn. They protect
the nail and keep the medicines
which are applied in place and
in action.
Soaking the fingers in hot
soap SudS and then soaking
them in some antiSeptic like a
moderately strong potassium
permanganate solution, then
dipping them in oxalic acid so
luton to prevent staining, and
coating the nails with full
strength Whitfield ointment, is
a method that Is highly rec
commended. 1t may have to be
kept up for some time before
results begin to appear.

Laurel drove over to the
country club at five on Sat
urday.
She felt reckless. Was look

of the evening with a queer
mixture of anticipation and
nervousness.

days. dining with Connie and
her party.
How could she interest him?
How best could she remove
the previous bad impression?
If he but knew how she had
spent the intervening time, he
would be doubly disgusted with
her.
It seemed as though spiritual
growing pains had seized on
Laurel.
The futility of her life de-
pressed her. or was it merely
a prolonged hang over"?
She drove swiftly on the
roads. Swept into the grounds
of the country club and parked
her car.
She went inside. Some girls
and men were sitting about the
lobby.

girls appeared, in their sum-

Finally, the first game was
won by Laurel.

She won steadily after that.
Roger volleyed recklessly out Of
court and kept losing points
thereby, although he was the
better player.
She won the set.

There was a long counter in
the bar-room, with a gilt rail a
few inches off the floor Laurel
leaned over to give her order.
"A gin swizzle, please"
"A dry Martini for me-" said
Roger.
Laurel drank through two
straws. The drink felt good
after her perspiration.

Roger said nothing. He looked
ineffably bored. He swallowed

CHAPTER XII

They made quite a ceremony
at city hall when Fightin' Jim
Fitzpatrick was inducted into
office as chief of the police Of
the Big Burg. Jim Spoke his
piece over the microphone, said
his say to the newspaper report
ers and listened to the congratu-
lations of his friends. But he
was anxious to get busy, and
within an hour after he had as
sumed direction of the $4,000
policemen he assembled all his
main officers at headquarters.
Men" he said, there is no
need of me telling you the con-
ditions that exist in this town.
You wouldn't be cops if you
didn't know. But things are
going to be damn different.
I'm going to wreck organized
vice and crime if have to work
every man night and day. For
the present there won't be any
changes-only I'm going to re-
organize the strong arm detail
and I'm going to shove the
toughest, toughest, fightin'est
men on the force in it,"
He gesticulated as he spoke
and paced up and down before
the 200 officers. His counte-
nance was stern and his jaw was
set.
This town is honeycombed
with speakeaSieS, honky tonks
and gambling joints. Every
things been running wide open.
I want you to instruct every
man on beat to make a detailed
report of these dives in his ter
ritory. Don't come to me with
the excuse that the officer on
the beat don't know what's 60
ing on. I used to travel beat
myself. The flying squad from
headquarters will take care OF
the worst of them. And the
others must be closed and must
stay closed!"
The chief stood a moment
and surveyed the carpet OF
faces below him. Then ne
jumped down from the plat
form.

He strobe into his office. Tom

hands. For a moment the
three stood looking at each

been cemented by many a hard
battle-battles in which men
stand side by side and fight for
their lives.

European parents, especially
before the World War, did a
good deal Of the deciding about
love affairs and the worldly
side of marriage. Your desire
to marry a doctor, and take up
the profession of nursing, as
the first steps toward further
ing your ambition, is certainly
an instance Of clear thinking,
and I don't doubt but that some
promising young inferno will
"fall for you" before your first
years training is over. Please
let me wish you good fortune.
