Ringworm Infections Of Scalp, Body
 Most Common Among School Children
T. M. Reg. .. s. Pat on.

When the spots are examined, many different organisms are found to be associated with this in- festation. The condition is difficult to treat in the scalp because of the presence of the hair.
 Most cases, however, incline to improve with suitable treatment. In many instances the doctor will ar- range to remove the hair either by the use of wax substances or by the use of the X-ray. After the hair falls out or Is removed, the areas of infection are treated with suitable ointments which contain strong remedies. Obviously, there- fore, they cannot be applied by the average person and their use should not be attempted unless they have been directed by the physician.
 The ringworm that occurs in the groin usually comes from @ second- ary infection transferred from the toes but sometimes from the use of various supporters, straps and other materials used by athletes. The in lection is sometimes spread by tow els or other materials around golf clubs and gymnasiums.
 The condition appears much more often in young people than in older ones. Sometimes it will spread from the groin to the area between the buttocks, causing itch ing and burning. This will not clear up unless the original infec- ton in the groin is also cleared up.
 Many people suffer with this con- dition over long periods of time be- cause of inordinate modesty or un- willingness to report the condition to the doctor.
 Different portions of the body must be treated according to their nature-sometimes with lotions, sometimes with ointments, some times with powders, antiseptics or the X-ray. The decision as to which form of treatment may be made only after the nature of the condition has been established through suitable study and expe- rience.

Many years ago, MT. Strong, a designer of fabrics, took up the study of the science of color as a hobby. From different parts of the world, he collected specimens of natures colors in birds, butterflies, min- erals, jewels, etc., which he used as motifs for designs, also studying how nature had produced color in these subjects. Then followed the study of the phenomena of color by the use of the invisible ultra violet ray and polarized light. With the aid of powerful projection ma- chimes, a new world of color and form has been opened on the screen.
 MT. Strong's presentation can hardly be called a lecture. It is an entirely new form of entertainment adapted to any group. It is spec- taucuar and thrilling, yet almost impossible to dscribe. MT. Strong's only other appearance in Connecti- cut has been at Yale university. The Quota club, therefore, is eager that the public of Waterbury and adjacent towns take the opportunity of witnessing the unusual program which MT. Strong will present.

STYLE CHATS

Paris (UP)-Coiffeur and millin- CTS have turned smart Parisians' heads SO that they may work out new and fascinating profile ideas.
 With face-framing berets, tower ing cones, off-the-face coronet styles and every conceivable design seeking height, height and more height at the fashion openings, the idea of contrast in effect from variety of angles has caught on and become important for the mid-sea- son.
 Hats retain their forward and up- ward tilt, but the smartest frame the face from one side and hide 1t entirely from the other. Berets shoot of in diagonal slant rising high and dipping low to outline the profile.
 There is no end to the ingenuity with which Paris milliners are de- veloping the profile idea. Brims have become one-sided, sports hats are fitted close at one side and are allowed to jut out at any angle in a brim on the other, and for dress oc- casions soft plumes nestle close at one side of the head to outline one cheek and form . background for lovely profile.
 Coiffeurs have carried the idea step further, building winter hair dresses to a climax at the very top of the head so that each side is complete design in itself. Without a hot the effect is equally interesting from either side and facial features are studied so that curls, judiciously placed. will make the most of the contour of the head and face when viewed from one side against a hat brini.

 There are certain forms of ring worm which get onto the scalp, particularly in children. Cases are seldom seen in people more than fifteen years of age.
 Boys are affected more frequent ly than girls. The condition some times spreads from one child to an- other in schools. At times it has been so severe in some foreign schools that special schools have been developed for children with ringworm.
