For a very special reason we

"Well, I haven't anything

why we were in such a hurry
to get Faryps letter in today.
We only received it Saturday.
He Wrongs Us
We think, however, that he
wrongs us. We know we pub

Facial scars from wounds or burns
are more or less disfiguring, according
to their position and extent Women
often ask me whether scars can be re-
moved or whether certain operations
will leave unsightly scars. One cannot
give definite answer to this question.
Doctors know that some persons have a
more pronounced tendency to develop
scars than some others have. This is
an inherited characteristic. A surgeon
can operate on one person with large
resulting scar while his next patient
may heal quickly with very little scar
ring. Old scars may sometimes be
greatly improved in appearance by a
plastic surgeons skill but it is seldom
if ever possible to remove all traces Of
them.
Scars resulting from X-ray burns ac-
quired during treatments for superflu-
GUS hair are among the most difficult to
| improve. The skin becomes shrunken
and red over the area treated. but the
condition does not develop until some
months after the rays have been used.
1t is overexposure to these powerful rays
that causes the trouble. This sort of
burn can be concealed. however. just as
birthmark or other flat-skin blemish
can. by the use of tinted cream that
is sold for the purpose.

Everyday Psychology
BY DR.. JESSE ". sPROwLs.

Carefully devised tests seem to show
that. upon entering room. you notice
the lower left-hand side first. Then
your eyes take in the situation from
left to right, floor to ceiling.
Suppose you are looking at paint
ing in a gallery. The same thing hap
pens. Your eyes scan the painting first
from lower left diagonally to upper
right.
I suppose no one really knows why
the average observer does this. All you
can say is that the lower left-hand cor
ner is the first focus of attention. When
the psychologists get this worked out
We may find some valuable psychological
laws in connection with the construc-
ton of advertisements. the dressing OF
store windows, and the setting in mo-
ton pictures. Perhaps some day mag
azines will have the titles Of the lead
ing articles printed in the lower left
hand corner Of the cover page.
Why does a blindfolded person tend
to walk in a circle, headed generally
toward the right? The answer is prob
ably this. We explore our unknown sur
roundings with our muscles. And oul

would arrest the bidding at three dia-
monds. 1t Is clear to WesNclearer
than to East-that an utter misfit has
been dealt to them. Despite bidding
four suits, they cannot support any OF
them or get together in no trumps.
Realizing that East's suits must be more
solid than his own, since he opened a
minor suit two-suiter as dealer, West
should now bid three diamonds, revert
ing to the suit first bid and showing q
preference for it, if that wcrd can ap-
ply to two small singletons East, of
course, would pass; he would play the
hand undoubled, and 60 down two
tricks or perhaps three against good
defense. However. West did not feel
capable Of showing preference with a
singleton. He bid three hearts over
three clubs. East either misread this
rebid or else decided that he had moth
ing to fear. Five diamonds was his
next declaration. My wife, North, dou-

Take nothing for granted when the

The safe and sane ways OF treating

to have a doctor take them of or else
leave them strictly alone. When they

Scars. Moles and Warts.

~ YOTHING is insignificant"
writes a cosmstic surgeon,
that causes a woman un-
happiness, loss of poise or
an inferiority complex"
If only the average family physician
voulo take this view of the moles,
warts, scars and birthmarkS that can
cause so much mental anguish. there
would be fewer women running risks by
using unsuitable or dangerous home
treatments for these blemisheS.
The great majority of these growths
or scars are harmless from the health
standpoint. Most Of us have been
frightened by tales of moles that have
turned into cancers, but there is little
chance of this in most cases. When
mole begins to spread after having been
the same size for some time there is
danger of its being malignant; it should
then be removed by a surgeon. Then,
too. when either moles or warts have
been only partially removed or have
been irritated by home treatments con-
