Trace Lip Infammations
to Dyes in Lipsticks

Atlantic City, N. Gases OF
Inflammation of the lips due to
hypersensitivity to certain dyes
in lipsticks were reported by
Drs. Joseph Goodman and Ma
rion B. Sulzberger of New York
at the meeting here of the Asso-
citation for the Study of Allergy.
By making tests of the various in
gradients of the lipsticks, it was
possible to discover which dye was
L. offender in particular case,
and to prescribe for the patient a
ipstick she could use safely.
Other cosmetics, notably powders
and nail polishes, have also caused
Inflammation and skin irritation, the
New York doctors found.
Dyes in wearing apparel, ranging
from dresses to shoes and socks,
frequently cause irritation in sensi-
tive persons. This sensitivity is an
individual matter, il appears from
the cases reported. Some patients
were sensitive to black, others to
blue and still others to brown

Great Lakes Naval Agreement

The Convention of 1877, which linn
tied the naval forces on the Great
Lakes, was effected through the ex-
change of letters april % and 29)
between Richard Rush, acting Sec
rotary of State and Charles Bagot,
British minister at Washington. 1t
did not consist of a treaty in which
copies were signed by representa-
tives of both countries, but consist
Ell of the two letters with the one
signature on each. The letters slip
ulated that each country should
have one vessel not exceeding one
hundred tons, armed with one 49,
FOUNDER on Lake Ontario and two
ships on the upper lakes and one on
Lake Champlain, all of which were
to be the same size and carry like
armament. Any ships over that
number were to be lismantled and
no others built or armed. Either
country could terminate the agree
ment by six months notice. Or
ders to conform to this agreement,
were issued by the British and Unit
ed States governments.

Action of Mangroves
Adds to u. S. Coast

Memphis, Tenn.-New land is
being added, slowly but surely,
to the map of the United States.
The mangrove bushes along the
coast of Florida are doing it,
declares Prof. John H. Davis of
Southwestern university here.
Professor Davis has been MAX
ing a special study of this SUBJ
ject, from personal observation,
examination of old maps, and
comparison of newest air-sur-
vey photographs.
The red mangrove, which grows
in salt water, has numerous roots
which catch and hold silt and clay.
AS the deposit becomes higher, the
red mangrove is supplanted by the
white and black varieties which
grow better on the higher soil. On
decay, the mangrove remains form
peat formations which aid further
in the land-building process.
Experimental paintings of man.
groves have been made along the
Florida coast so that further study
of their role in land-building may
be investigated.

TO MAKE you the girl of his
L dreams (and to keep him al
ways dreaming), that's the happy
ambition behind these newest Gre
atoms by Sew-Your-Own. One of
these frocks to enhance your
beauty, and an evening to spend
in that romantic lane of Moon
light and Roses-isn't it quite
likely that you will become the
girl of his dreams?
Luncheon for Two.
When he takes you out to lunch
con you should be the very es-
sence of chic. A two piecer like
the one at the left will bring the
sort of eye-compliments you like,
and you'll find it great boon to
comfort if the date is to be soon.
You will probably want it made
of the seasons hit material, sheer
crepe. The vestee is smart in a
contrasting color.
When It's Dancing.
He'll be very Scotch about CIV
ing away dances when he sees you
in your copy of the frock in the
center. 1t was really born to
dance. The tucked skirt has all
the thrilling sophistication of a
gored one, and it's much easier to
sew. Little touches of grosgrain,
and pretty puff sleeves add the
kind of quiet elegance that makes
this your choice for those happy
hours of dancing under the stars.
End of Summer.
The season, like romance, rolls
swiftly. But you still have time to
do a few summary things in a
summary frock such as the one at
the right. In dimity or swiss it
will make you more youthful and
charming than many a more or
nate style (and after all the girl
of his dreams must be young and
charming). A good suggestion
might be to cut a carbon copy,
while you're about it, in sheer
wool with long sleeves. Then
there'n be nothing to worry about

Get Elderly Patient
Up in Two Weeks
to Avoid Death
Doctors Find Confinement
to Bed Hastens the End
By JANE STAFFORD

Atlantic City, N. J.-Elderly
persons who get sick must be
gotten out of bed and back on
their feet as rapidly as possible,
in order to stall off death, Drs.
Louis B. Laplace and j. T. Mich
olson of Philadelphia told mem
bers of the American Medical
association here.
Confinement to bed hastens death
In persons over sixty years, they
found. The reason is that remain
ing inactive and prone for long Pc
RODS allows the blood to accumu-
late in the small veins and arteries.
The total volume of blood is thus re-
duced and it's circulation is further
impeded by the hardening of the
blood vessels that occurs in old age.
The blood, therefore, remains in
the capillaries until it is forced out
by contractions of the muscles, but
a person confined to bed moves his
muscles so little that the blood does
not circulate enough. AS a result,
tissues degenerate, ulcers form, and
the body is slowly poisoned by alb
sorption of the products from the
degenerated tissues. The patient
sinks into stupor and the final in
vasion of the bacteria into the lungs
causes the fatal pneumonia.
The way to prevent all this is
to order elderly patients out of bed
as soon as possible and while they
must remain in bed to give them
massage, exercise in bed, deep
breathing and frequent shifts of
position.
A new, quick and inexpensive test
to determine whether a woman is
going to become mother was re-
ported by Drs. John Huberman,
Howard H. Israeloff and Benjamin
Hymowitz of Newark, N. ]. The test
is made by injecting under the skin
of the forearm one of the hormones
present in the body of an expectant
mother. If the skin becomes red
and inflameS, the test is negative
and the woman is not about to be-
come a mother. If there is no re-
action, the test is considered posi-
tive evidence that the woman is
bearing child.
The test was originally devised by
Drs. C. c. Gilfillen and w. K. Gregg
of Dayton, Ohio. The Newark physi-
clans found it 80 per cent accurate
in tests of 200 expectant mothers
and 95 per cent accurate in $50 wom-
en- known not to be expecting chill
dren.

New Cadget Devised
for Measuring the
Blueness of Sky

Neutrality-suspicious. blue is the
sky? That is not a mere rhet-
orical question put by poet
for the purpose of dragging his
lady's eyes into the discussion.
The exact color of the sky is a
matter of considerable scien-
tifc, commercial and even mil
itary importance, for it is a
measure of air turbidity, dust
content, haziness, etc., affect
ing visibility at distance, in
tensity and color composition
of sunlight, and a number of
other intangible but important
matters.
A new device for measuring sky
blueness was described before the
meeting of the American Geophys-
ical union here by Drs. H. Lands
berg and H. Jobbins of Pennsylvania
State college. It is considered an
advance over the series of standard
color cards hitherto employed, be-
ing more rapid and direct in use,
and having no abrupt jumps from
one degree of blueness to another.
The device consists of a wedge of
clear blue glass of a standard hue,
mounted so that sunlight is reflect
ed through it from mirror. Half
of the opening of the frame in which
it is mounted is open, so that the
observer can look at the sky, and
then slide the wedge along until the
color matches. The deeper the blue,
the thicker the part of the wedge
needed to make correct match.
In trial observations, Drs. Lands
berg and Jobbins have found that
the bluest part of the sky offers the
best visibility; a pale sky means
poor seeing. The part of the sky
90 degrees of arc away from the sun
and on the opposite side of the sky
is usually the deepest blue.

The Reaping Season.

CERTAIN crops may not have
~ done so well, due to weather
conditions, or, as some die-hard
Republicans would probably con-
tend, because of New Deal control
But, on the other hand, hasn't it
been a splendid ripening season for
sit-downs, wallS-outs, shut-ups, lock-
outs and picket lines?
It makes me think of the little
story the late Myra Kelly used to
tell of the time when she was a pub
lie school teacher on New York's
East Side. She was questioning her
class of primary-grade pupils,
touching on the callings of their re-
spective parents. She came to one
tiny sad-eyed little girl, shabby and
thin and shy.
"Rosie," she asked, Eat what does
your father work."
''Mein poppa he don't never work,
Teacher" said Rosie.
Doesn't he do anything at all?"
ooh, yessum."
well, what does he do?"
"He strikes"

sounds fine. Great users of wheat
must buy their supplies far ahead.
If they do not take this precaution,
they stand a chance always of find
ing their bins empty and are faced
with the necessity of closing their
mills. 1t is this feature that causes
long range buyers to resort to what
is called hedging. That is, they sell
on option nearly as much as they
buy on contract. They are thus able
to Offset losses whether the price of
wheat goes up or whether it goes
down and the losses or the gains
are distributed throughout the in

the industry can protect itself.
