ACNE

Acne is one of the most common
Of the skin diseases of adolescents.
1t is characterized by pusticules, no
dulles and pimples in every stage OF
development. 1t Is principally con-
fined to the face. chest, back, neck
and shoulders. The disease does not
occur before puberty. 1t is common
onward for about ten years, after
which 1t usually declines.
Acne starts around blackheads, or
comedones, because the area which
surrounds tn little worm-like
plugs described In last weeks issue
becomes inflamed. They fill with pus,
or remain as purplish or reddish no
dulles. All phases of the eruption can
be seen simultaneously in one pa
tent The small superficial pustules
leave no scars, but the larger and
deeper LESSONS often lead to perma-
nent soaring and %thickening of the
skin. 1t is not uncommon to see a
person who has long suffered from
present the appearance of hav-
ing had smallpox.
Acne occurs frequently in people
with a thick skin and sluggish circu-
lation. There are local causes such
as the S of irritating soaps and
cosmetics, exposure to cold winds,
and insufficient bathing. Another
cause is arrangement of the aliment-
airy tract. especially dyspepsia and
constipation. In girls the cause may
lie in disturbances which are pecul-
lar to their sex. All facilitating dis
eases predispose to acne, of which
anemia, too rapid growth or mental
and physical exhaustion may be men
toned. Diet. especially the excessive
consumption of sweets, are predis-
causes.
AS we said before the ~blackheads
all contain germs. For this reason
presume that in the susceptible in
iividual, when the conditions are
favorable, acne develops.
Once the condition has become es-
abolished 1t is extremely difficult to
cure. In most cases the disease dis
appears around the age Of rs and
sometimes as late as 80.
Success in treatment depends to a
arge extent upon finding and remov-
ng the cause. Proper treatment Of
en- cures the condition. Some ap-
causeless cases are extreme
y obstinate but little can be done
alternating them.
The treatment must be general
md local. Attention to personal n.y.
.iene must be rigid and the parts
,ept as clean and aseptic as possible.

Unemployment insurance. old-age
pensions and aid to dependent child
rem are certain to receive attention
this session of congress in line with
the Presidents security program.
Details are not available although
unemployment insurance will include
a payroll tax, to be collected by the
government, with administration
handled by the States. The tax Is not
expected to exceed two per cent Of
payrolls.
Old age pensions would be provid-
ed, 1t is thought, through joint con
trlbutions by the States and the Fed
eral government for persons already
above the prospective age limit OF IS
years; a provision also to require
contributions from employers and
employees to take care OF annuities
for others who reach the age limits
and, possibly, a plan to enable indi-
viduals to buy insurance against
want in old age. An appropriation Of
about 500, 5000 will be asked to
start this plan in operation.
There has been some idea of wild
ow's pension upon the same basis
and while this may result it is also
probable that the Federal govern
ment will help the States to assist
mothers with dependent children.
While there was some opposition
to the World Court protocols the OPP
ponents of American entry were
hopelessly o~utnumbered. Blocs' how
everare beginning to form One will
likely try to secure greater social
security measures than the Admins
tration proposes. There seemed some
chance that the advocates Of prompt
payment of the bonus might become
entangled owe advocacy of particu-
lar measures. However, it Is worth
noting that the blocs will have a
hard time making much Roadway, or
blocking other legislation, since the
House repealed its liberal discharge
rule.
Readers are aware that there was
a rebellion some years ago against
what liberals called gag" rule, with
thA xnen,1f tLok LIE 49,
empowered to force a vote ON any
measure before the House. This
year, when the new Congress con-
vened, one of the first things the
House did was to vote to go back to
the old rule, under which it requires
a majority vote to discharge a COM
mittee" and bring a matter to the
floor for a vote.
President Roosevelt scored again
in his fight against power companies
when he made public a report show
ing that bonds of electric utility op-
Grating companies, held by 81 stand
ard life insurance companies, are
now $109,4 41 900 higher in market
value than they were in September,
1929. when the market crashed The
disclosure followed a letter, written
by Frederick H. Ecker, president of
the Metropolitan Life, expressing
concern over the security Of these
bonds. 1t also answered arguments
by utility interests that widows and
orphans, dependent upon life insur-
funds, would suffer extensive
unless the war IN the utility
was called Off. 1t is worth
nothing that Mr.. Ecker, who was
worried, drew a salary Of 5000, 900 a

Another Bill has been introduced
as a direct thrust at reckless drivers
and to get them removed from high
ways. Its principal provision would
suspend motor vehicle registration

against whom final Judgment OF 500

or property damage. The licenses
would remain suspended until the

HULL IN FAVOR

A recommendation that this
Government refrain from making
any promises to the League Of Ma
tions concerning the extent to
which it might be prepared to go
In backing League action against
Italy was expected to be made
to President Roosevelt by Secre-
tary of State Cordell Hull today.
Secretary Hull planned to take
up with the President the ques-
ton of an American reply to the
Leagues virtual request for some
indication as to how far this Gov
ernment was prepared to go III
backing League sanctions against
Italy.
Up to League
The view still prevailed in
official quarters that it was up
to the League to determine how
far it intended to go itself and
how effective its own sanctions
are likely to prove before it COM
mences to worry about Americas s
position. ...
The State Department was in
no hurry to reply to the commu-
nication and if the President is
pressed by domestic matters, Sec
retary Hull may postpone putting
the League problem up to him
until tomorrow or over the week
end.
Limited Reply Seen
Indications still were that the
American reply probably would be
confined to a recapitulation Of the
steps this Government already has
taken to maintain its neutrality
and to try to induce Premier Mus
Golini to refrain from war.

FiUe More Years

Three days after his memor-
able speech Wahl was attached
to a group Of prisoners being
sent to the new penal camp at
SyZran. When he arrived there,
he was caught in q trifling trans
greSsion, thrown into the dun
geon. accused of agitation against
the Soviets, and sentenced to an
additional five years in the penal
camps.
Korolkov furnished another in
stance of breaking discipline, but
he Jared much better than Wahl.
He had been commissioned as a
specialist to accompany the penal
camps delegate to the district
agricultural convention. He made
certain proposals, but found op-
position from the delegates of
the Komsomol-Young Commu-
nistS-who posed as peasants,
but knew next to nothing Of agri-
culture. Korolkov defended his
theories, and then, turning to the
KomSomol delegates, said: "As
for you, my KomSomol comrades,
all I have to say is that as farm

"SiIence," thundered Sienke-
vicZ, furious and red in the
face. "Get out Of here at
once"
Several checklists started towards
Wahl. Without waiting for them,
he quickly went out Of the door.
An awkward pause followed. The
officials whispered among them
selves, giving vent to indignant
exclamations. Threats to punish
Wahl for his insolence were
heard. The prisoners remained
silent.
Half an hour later the assem-
bly, unanimously passed the reSo-
luton branding selfish mercen-
aries with shame" and expressing
devotion to the cause. AS usual
in the U. S. S. R., the unanimous
vote was achieved by the expe-
dent of asking the dissenters to
raise their hands. There was
none. Then those not voting
were asked to raise their hands.
Again no hands were raised.
Under the conditions which exist
in the U. S. s. R., there is no
sense in exposing oneself to the
danger of dissenting from Com
munist resolutions. This explains
why the amazing number Of reSo-
lutions. be they for home con-
sumption or for effect on foreign
public opinion, are always carried
unanimously. No one familiar
with life in Soviet Russia won
ders at it. but politically-minded
citizens Of the Western democra-
cies are surprised and come to
the confusion that the population
of Russia is unanimously in &C.

WGhL Speaks Up

Quite Unexpectedly wahl, the
former chief clerk of the EXC
office. rose from his seat to
make a speech which proved a
veritable sensation. It astounded
us especially that it was he, of
all prisoners, who had resolved
to express the hidden thoughts
Of us all. He was usually so
subservient to his chiefs and so
mean to those fellow.prisoners
who were dependent on him.
And now he was the only one
who had the courage to speak
his mind. 1t was hard to tell
what actually prompted him, as
he must have known what the
consequences would be.
Wahl started his speech by
the statement that he had been
prisoner for over four years
and that he had six months
more to serve until the end of
his sentence.
II worked hard from the
very first day Of my arrival

this because / wished to be

Blame Shifted

But as usual the blame was
placed where it did not belong.
The directors" of construction
were accused Of inefficiency, lost
their positions, and were sent to
field duty.
1t was decided to continue build
ing the railroad, but without a
large staff of engineers: only one
engineer, Alpers, was left in
charge. Sienkevicz, the carpenter,
took matters in his own hands.
Drastic orders were sent to all
SuperintendentS to insist on the
fulfillment Of the planned objec-
tiveS, threatening court-martial in
case Of failure. The prisoners i'm.
mediately felt the brunt Of the
new order. Sienkevicz also insti-
tuted the practice of assembling
the prisoners for conferences in
which plans and improvements
were discussed. On one occasion
the office staff was called to at.
tend one of these conferences. At
tendance was obligatory.
On the night Of the conference,
all the office workers assembled
in the large administration hall.
Our stalwart carpe ntercom-
mander sat at a table covered
with green cloth, surrounded by
his retinue. Speeches were made
by checklists and by prisoners in
favored positions who we're max
ing their way upward in the penal
camps administration.
The latter were especially zeal
Gus and proposed a high-sounding
resolution to the effect that "pris-
oners failing in the efficient exc
cution of their duties should be
branded with shame" In his open
ing speech Sienkevicz had an
nounced that all prisoners would
be permitted to express their
thoughts freely, without fear Of
consequences, but the prisoners
sat there with an impassive ex-
preston on their faces, listening

GLASS CASKET
FRAUD CURBED
BY FARLEY
International News Service

International News Service
The Federal Government today
put an end to the So-called
glass funeral casket stock-selling
scheme.
Postmaster General Farley is
sued a fraud order denying the
use of the mails to the stock
holders protective committee Of
the DeCamp Consolidated Casket
Company and j. E. Akers, secre-
tary and trustee, at MuSkogee,
Okla.
The idea of manufacturing a
glass funeral caSket was con-
Ceived by James w. DeCamp in
1912, and in 1914 q number of
companies were formed to manu-
facture such casketS on a COM
mercial basis. Operation Of these
enterprises eliminated in failure.
DeCamp was convicted here on
charges of using the mails to de-
fraud in connection with the sale
of interests therein and on May
81, 1926, he was sentenced to q
term Of / 8monthS in prison.
In January, 1884, DeCamp was
again indicted and was found
guilty on IA counts chaging the
use of the mails to defraud and
conspiracy at Muskogee.
In a writtn opinion for Farley,
Karl A. Vrowley, solicitor for the
department, said the enterprise
"was merely a dishonest and
fraudulent share and note selling
scheme"

BY GEORGE KITCHIN
Chapter XXXIV.

In February, 1881, we were
transferred to the new bar
racks where the temperature
hung around the freezing
point. At night it fell below
freezing, and engineer A. once
awoke in the morning with a
frostbitten ear. The moment
we reached the barracks, we
climbed into our hunks, keep
ing on our felt boots and over
coats and covering ourselves
with every available blanket or
piece of clothing.
Members of the office staff
lived comparatively well, but
the lot of the ordinary prison
ers was quite otherwise. They
were still kept in tents and
barracks fit only for cattle.
They were given excessive
working assignments, and be-
came worn and i'll with fatigue.
The reports from the timber
works were deplorable. There
the rate of mortality was as
high as before, and scurvy, ty-
phus and other diseases were
taking their toll. The work
was far behind schedule.
Analyzing the results of 1880,
the administration came to the
conclusion that the plan had
failed as far as the construction
of the railroad and the highway
was concerned. The bad living
conditions and undernouriShment
of the workers we're clearly to
blame.

NO CREDIT FOR
 ITALY IN U. S.;
 MUST PAY CASH
General Refusal by Bank ing Houses to Extend
 Buying Power

WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.--A gen. eral refusal to take Premier Benito Mussolini's eIOUa for Italian pur- chases of American goods is indi- cated in reports of the Department of Commerce.
 Banking houses, which make a business of financing such trans actions, are reported for the most part to be declining to grant the necessary credits.
 The movement, which was initi- ated even before hostilities com menced, was in line with the ac- ton taken in August by the gov- ernment-owned Export Bank in re- fusing to extend credits on exports to Italy.
 Continuance of the trend may mean that the Italian government in effect will have to produce spot cash, buying dollars on the Foreign Exchange Market if it is to find any considerable source of sup plies in America.
 To facilitate this, it is reported that the Italian government for months has been husbanding all available foreign exchange or Ital- ian-owned credits in America, re- sulting from shipments of Italian goods to this country, tourist ex- penditures. immigrant remittances, and such like.
