PURPURA, sCURvY AND TEND.
 ENCY TO BRUISE EASILY


 Purpura, an affection character ized by hemorrhages under the skin, takes it's name from Greek word meaning purple, because the ap- pearance of such hemorrhages un- der the skin is first red, then dark CT, then purple, finally brownish yellow, and fading altogether in the course of two or three weeks.
 Purpura commonly occurs in se- we're septicemia cacute blood pois- iningD especially in Streptococcus infections. A milder form accom- panies joint inflammation in many cases. Henoch's purpura occurs chiefly in children associated with joints pains, digestive disturbance and feneral malaise. In certain specific infectious diseases, notably typhus, cerebro-spinal fever (epi- demic meninigitis) and Rocky Mountain spotted fever, the rash is purpuric in character. Characteris- tic purpura occurs from snake bite.
 A familiar type of purpura has been observed in some of the fe- male members of hemophilic fam lilies. In purpura, however, there is no delay in tn eclothing time such as is always present in hemophilia.
 The fundamental feature of pllr- pura seems to be increased per- meability of the capillaries, by req son of which blood more readily extravasates from the smallest ar- teries or viens through the capillary spaces into the tissues.
 In the disease known as scurvy increased permeability of the capil- laries of lowered capillary resistance is the essential characteristic. We know that insufficient vitamin c is responsible for the purpuric man. ifestations of scurvy. We do not know whether deficiency of vitamin c is concerned in all purpric states.
 People who "bruise" easily, or develop "black and blue" marks without apparent injury, are gen. erally suffering with mild scurvy and need a large increase in their daily intake of fresh fruits or fresh fruit juices, or fresh vegetables.
 Infants and children, as well as adults in hospitals or other insti- tutions, sometimes develop "black and blue" marks from purpura, whether from scurvy or other cause, which are misinterpreted evidence of abuse. This has led to unfound- ed charges of cruelty or assault in more than one instance.
 Pure vitamin c (ascorbic acid) is now available for intravenous ad- ministration and large daily doses of it have proved advisable in se- were purpura of any type-by large daily dose we mean perhaps two or three grains of ascrobic acid daily for several days, along with half pint to pint of orange juice by month every day.
 An excellent remedy for purpura in a child is an intramuscular in- jection of about one-half ounce of blood taken from the vein of a relative; the dose may be advan- tageously repeated once in four to six hours.

Irritating Child Habits Not Very Important, For
 They Are Soon Outgrown
By Olive Roberts BaI

do l know? Because she talks all the time. She simply cannot stop talking. It is her way of suppress ing, but really exposing, a whole tangle of nerves.
 Little Jane comes into room and begins to blink. She blinks and winks until her mother has to apologize. It goes like this.
 "Jane's eyes are weak. have taken her to the doctor but he says she will outgrow it. I think he's wrong. I am sure there is something wrong with her eyes"
 Nerves and Eyes
 Maybe she is right, because. of course, eye strain will cause blinking. Or an irritation of the lids and abnormal dryness may be responsible. But there is a lot of blinking caused by nerv- ous tension, too. Sometimes child will screw up his eyes or lift his eyebrows without any real reason.
 Another habit is the lifting of shoulders. Excitement or nervous fatigue often causes shoulders to pull up and stay up. Many older people have this habit. The odd part of 1t is that they don't realize 1t. In fact, have often taken a high-strung friend by the shoul- ders, and gently pushed them down. That feels better, doesn't it?" And the answer is surprised, Why, yes, I fee. better all over."
 Mannerisms get lost generally along the way, or most of them do, and new ones may develop. Then they lose out, too. Unless a habit is really serious, let's ..low the children to be children and live in peace.

Style Chats
By AUDREY AMES


 United Press Staff Correspondent)
 Paris, (UP)-High- crowned, tiny and feathered are really the only adjectiyes needed to describe the French milliners' prophecies for fall. Take birds eye view of all the hat collections, or look at each one sep arately, the millinery scenes the same.
 Rose Valois--to be specific-is charming American buyers with her tiny black velvet toques, her modified beret shapes of rich velour felts and her high cocky crowns of sleek opera-hat seal. Ornate is the word for trimmings. Louis XIV would certainly feel right at home in a 1888 hat salon, for all the plumes of Versailles glory anl velvet bows and furbelows are back-not as pitiful ghosts of the past but as very lively actualities of the present.
 Varied is the trite but true word for the shapes. Tricorns mix with twisted ribbon toques. Brims are for the most part narrow. Some extend visor fashion only in front. Others have 8 devil-may-care un- evenness with their front edge slashed straight across. Almost all of them dip flatteringly over the forehead.
 AS a fine illustration of the olden days is Rose Valois' pert black vel- vet tricorn with it's three turned up sides partly hiding crown of pale blue ostrich feathers smoothed flat. Or 8 black felt whose DC nted crown is topped by a rich golden orange ostrich plume further "featherized" by the addition of a sleek single black gull feather.
 Two exotic birds, complete to pink bills and glistening eyes, have bodies of purple, white and red feathers. Their long necks inter- twine as they balance on the fiat, slanted crown of another black felt model. A stiff tail feather of scarlet and black cocks itself at Robin Hood angle from the back of an- other black felt, which has it's mar row brim edge piped in scarlet grosgrain.
 And if you're not convinced by this time that your fall hat must have plume, quill or feather, wait couple of weeks and you will be.

The youths have admitted removing

police said Company officials ex-

The gas escaped from lengthy Sec

the bullets.
Damp air penetrated the wires, rail-

house on three or four occasions, but
saw nothing disorderly enough to war
rant police interference. At one time,
he testified, the occupants of the house
were making considerable noise.
Il saw girl lying on couch in
the basement and a man in the kitchen
playing banjo" he said Il did not
think they were making enough noise
to disturb the neighbors and took no
action"
The defense put Langdon on the
stand yesterday in an effort to show
he was merely fulfilling his duties as
the cop on the beat" when he kept
the house under observation.
Langdon testified that a woman
neighbor complained to him of dis

he had observed obscene" acts in the
house and how he kept an eye on the
place, which, he said. was supposed
to be bawdy house or bootleg

Langdon admitted, however, that
while on duty on the morning of the
shooting he had two drinks and
left his beat an hour early to deliver
a case of whisky of his own manu-
facture to a Government employe"
At the same time he insisted he
had patrolled most of the three beats
assigned to him. He characterized as
false" the testimony of two police
men who said he had asked them to
mark him up" as having reported
from other patrol boxes on his beat
when as a matter of fact he called
from BOX H." located within sight
Of the Limerick home.
Langdon was on the stand for four
hours. He admitted he might have"
changed his testimony somewhat since
he appeared before a coroner's jury,
but said If that was the case he only
sought to protect some policemen"
he did not name
He added that "seven years is
long time to remember"
Langdon's testimony was substan-
tally the same as the statement he
made to Inspector Edward j. Kelly
seven years ago, and which the in
spector repeated to a jury last week.
He was cross-examined closely, how
ever, on several apparent discrepan-
cies between his story to the jury yes
terday and his original statements to
investigators.
Langdon admitted that after his
release seven years ago he went to
a party in the home Of a bootlegger
whose place he had raided on several
occasions and asked his host: If
anybody should question you, will you
say I was at your house from mid
night to / amp" He could not re-
call what the ,bootlegger replied.

ception of those between IL and lis

The bootlegger, it was brought out,
was once partner of Government

him to help frame an alibi on the

witness, however, was vague about
what hours Iangdon wanted him to
account for.
