UNsOLvED MYSTERY OF
 ALLERGY

6AAASA1AsSA
 Having spent (well, a lot of dough--isn't 1t always an astonish- ing amount?) consulting skin spe- cialists for eczema on my hands, I read in your column one day (writes reader) about allergy and calcium deficiency. I began supplementing my daily diet with calcium and vitamin D and con- tinued it for many months. At first the improvement was gradual, but after while I had no eczema and no more sneezing spells.
 I had received all kinds of treat ment from several skin specialists. Four of them said my trouble was eczema, but two of them called it a form of "ringworm. At one time my eyes were swollen so badly l could hardly see and my hands were much swollen too. For three years I couldn't lift anything be- cause of the large cracks in my hands from the eczema. And 1t is a miracle how the sneeZing left me -the spells would occur at least four times week and continue sometimes all day long, in which time I couldn't even talk. From your description of the physiological function of calcium and vitamin D I gather 1t can do no harm to con- tinue taking 1t more or less regu- larly, as long as it keeps me so comfortable. (M. V. C)
 Although the readers history seems to show that supplementing the diet with calcium and vitamin D brought about the. relief of the trouble, still we must remember that allergy is an unsolved mystery, and, moreover, who knows whether the inscrutable John J. Coincidence had a hand in 1t? Certainly l don't
 have pamphlet Relief for AL lergy" which tells how to use potas- sium as an ever-ready emergency relief for the attack of threatening attack or spell. Any reader may have this for the asking, If he pro vides three-cent stamped envelope bearing his addres. For the other pamphlet "The Calcium Shortage" too inclose ten cents. Either pam phlet is available free if you pay the freight, but for both you pay the freight and the surtax Of ten cents. It is my belief that potas- sium gives immediate relief to the manifestations of allergy, and only relief: but calcium is rather a preventive and cure, that is, cal cium together with sufficient vita min D to insure normal assimila- ton and utilization of calcium.
 Accordingly I would advise M. V. c. that it is all right to continue taking a daily ration of calcium and

 I was sitting behind South, and when the dummy went down. I wondered how North was going to justify his terrific bidding but South never batted an eye. The first good break came with the opening lead-the ten of clubs was a life saver. When East played the jack, declarer led another club to see if the queen would fall, and it did. Next the declarer cashed the ace and king of diamonds and pushed the third diamond, which West won.
 Having decided he had made a poor opening lead, West now led his four-best spade. Of course this al- lowed the declarer to discard the losing heart on the ace of spades, and with the heart finesse working. six diamonds was made.

 FOLLOW THE MEN
 If she is willing to give up an office job for one in industry, she can go where there are men. And she'll find herself with plenty of dating chances if she goes to work in a town or city near an Army camp. Better yet, she can take nurses training and go into one of the branches of the service, or if she can qualify she can join the WAACS or the WAVES.
 All those types of work are Se- rious business-but just the same they afford women good marital opportunities and certainly a lot of the women who sign up for them aren't indifferent to that fact.
 The point is that a girl needn't sit around in a small town where there are few people left but women and old men. Not while there are other places where there aren't enough girls to go around.
 And girl now has a perfect answer to give the busy bodies who want to know why she is leaving dear old Centerville. She doesn't need to say anything more than, T feel I should be doing something more important in the war effort than my job here.''
 And. chances are that in the new job she bets she will be helping the war effort-as well as helping herself to find husband.

wouldn't try to help him any more. If he chose to let the will turn up it would be her one last duty to help disinherit him. After that she'd never want to hear the name of Dearborn again.
 In time she would get over it. At least she would get used to this heavy sickness in her heart.
 She supposed she let him out and closed the door She didn't know. She knew only that she suffered on as she relieved the few tense mo- ments Andy spent with her. She couldn't keep her rebellious heart from wishing the situation might have been different one, from think a girls mind has no right to interfere with love.
 She determined to go to the store in the morning and get her file box That was all. The will wasn't lost now. The person who was holding 1t would have to be responsible for the consequences. If that person were Andy it would rest on his own head.
 She was through. She wouldn't even think about it ever again.
 Then she went to bed and thought of nothing else!
 The conviction that Andy must be holding the will persisted in her mind. Who, more than he, would profit by it's disappearance? And it would have been so easy for him to dispose of it.
 Yet surely he wouldn't destroy it just to save himself? Or would he?
 And if he did. why had he left the envelope in the ledger?
 It seemed natural enough for her to be walking into the store again the next day, but very unnatural for her not to go to the little office ad- joining Andys and begin work. She was sorry now that she had left the file In getting it she might see Andy and she didn't want to meet him again.
 As she approached the office, she heard voices. One of them was Andys and one was Mir. Herrick's.
 She didn't intend to eavesdrop but

A s the war action in Africa in-
 creases, it becomes apparent that Dakar, gateway to Senegal on the west French African coast, will become a focal point for the British and German armies.
 Certain to figure in fighting will be the Faidherbe bridge, pictured on the stamp above, issued late in 1889. The bridge was named for General Louis Faidherbe.
 Dakar is vital to Germany as a point of authorization for possi- ble action against South America or shipping in the South Atlantic. Moreover, the Germans are build ing railroad from Libya across the Sahara to Dakar. This rail- way is the only route the Axis can move troops from North Africa, with ocean lanes blocked
 The British are concerned with Dakar because if it is turned over to the Axis by the French, Eng fish dominions would be threat ened by attack
 There have been unconfrmed reports that the British are nov ing bombers and ground person. mel into the Sierra Leone port of, FreetoWn, south of Dakar.
 The reports have been circu-, lated by the Germans and may presage a move on Hitler's part to send troops to defend" Dakar.

 Tt wasn't mistake" she said quickly. T did it because you wouldn't"
 You're exaggerating the i'm portance of it. I told MT. Herrick you meant well. I've fixed it up with him. You're to come back"
