not been among all those who had
offered best wishes afterwards,
since he did not have the manners

had taken himself away from the
party as unobtrusively as he had
arrived. II was almost like a dream

CHAPTER ELEVEN

KAREN DID not get up Tor mel
early morning swim the morning
after the Festival. In spite OF al
her new resolutions. she did moi
awaken until almost noon. Wher
she did awake she suddenly re-
membered that this was the day
her father and Paul were leaving
for the east. They were taking the
morning plane, so that no doubt
they already were well on their
way.
No wonder Paul had been disap-
pointed, although so careful to try
to hide II from her, when she had
refused to allow him few minutes
alone after the Festival was over
He would be away for several days
so it would be several days before
he could give her the ring. He
might be a very modern young
man, but Karen knew that Paul
had a sentimental streak, too; he
would feel badly to think she was
not wearing that symbol of their
betrothal now that their engage

Karen was not the least sentt-
mental. She did not even care par
ticularly about a ring, as she did
not care much for jewelry. She did
not think she needed anything on
a finger Of her left hand to show
that she was promised In mar
riage.
She had been too tirec and the
ring would keep for later. Maybe
she was funny girl to feel that
way, instead of being thrilled and
excited, but that was the way she
was. A girl could be sensible about
such matters. She and Paul were
sensible about their love. They were
not silly and "gushy," always
incoming at one another. They were
much more like friends when they
were together. than like sweet
hearth; even when Paul kissed her
it was not in lovers fashion, but in
the casual manner OF their mode,

She did not believe In what she

long.
What would it be like, she Won
dered, to have someone unknown
take you in his arms, as Martin
Halliday had taken her so master
fully the night before without
waiting for her to say she would
dance, to have someone like that
kiss her? 1t would not be a casual
kiss, or light, Of that she felt sure.
1t probably would make her angry,

man did or said, and at the same
time curious and stirred.

Treatments Suggested

Inc treatments tnat nave been
suggested are: (D local treatment
of the skin-degreasing and anti
septic }asicns, t2A AFdscripe preps,
arations, (3) vitamins and liver
extract, ca X-ray, (5) vaccines
and (6) diet.
The reason for using any Of
these is fairly obvious. 1t is a
condition confined to one locality
of the skin, therefore local treat
ment is indicated. 1t occurs at
puberty when all the endocrines
should be in a lather of activity,
but some of them may fall behind:
therefore supplement them. II is
a sluggish infection, therefore
vaccines can be used to stimulate
it. The X-ray kills infection.
The rationale for vitamins and
diet is little different. Cases are
improved sometimes by the use Of
ultraviolet light. Since ultra
violet activates ergosterol in the
skin and ergosterol is a previta-
min, the treatment is equivalent
to the administration of vitamin
D. Improvement has been reported
by several dermatologists on this
treatment.
Sutton's Diet
Under diet the old restrictions
used to be on cutting down of the
carbohydrates - candy-forbidden
regime. This, however, has proved
quite valUeless. Some patients
were hospitalized and given high
starch diets and improved. More
reasonable is low fat diet. There
is unquestionably in all cases some
disturbance Of the fat metabolism
of the skin. The foods forbidden
in Sutton's diet are:
All fried foods, cream, ice
cream, butter, butter substitutes,
cheese Except cottage cheese),
milk, lard, other cooking fat, yolk
Of egg, shortened foods (pie crust,
biscuits, crackers, etc., sausage,
Spanish mackerel, shad, salmon,
sardines, brains, potato chips,
chocolate, cocoa. nuts, peanut but
ter, oatmeal, cod-liver oil, cream
soup, gravy, pork, bacon, ham.
catfish, smoked herring, canned
fish, tuna, mutton.
Foods Permitted
This leaves quite a substantial
number of things that are per.
mitted, as follows:
Breakfast: Orange juice, cream
of wheat (sugar, but no cream or
milky, toast (no butter), jelly,
white of egg poached, coffee
(sugar, no cream).
Noon Meal: Cooked rice (sugar
if desired), boiled or baked potato,
bread mo butter), jam, any vege-
table (no butter), lean beef, any
fruit, coffee or tea (no cream or
milk.
Euering Meal: Bread (no but
ter, honey, chicken or fish mot
fried, any vegetable (no butter),
any fruit, coffee or tea (no cream
or milk, gelatin.
There are probably many fac
tors in the causation Of any case
Of acne, so multiple remedies are
indicated.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
W. R.: What is the cause Of
Bursitis? What treatment do you
advise?
Answer: Bursitis is the inAam-
nation of a bursa, the lubricating
sac around joint. 1t may be any
joint, but commonly the shoulder,
knee, elbow or ankle. Heat and
time will relieve nearly all cases.

Argue Valuation
Of Savings
By DON S. WARREN.

Hearings before the Public Util-
tiles Commission On rates of the
Potomac Electric Power Co. dealt
today with astronomical figures as
to what have been the cumulative
savings to the public and the cum
ulative excess earnings of the
company under its 18-year-old slid
ing-scale plan.
The Treasury Procurement Divi-
sion yesterday submitted an exhibit
to show that while rate reductions
since January, 1925, totaled 1884
044, company earnings in excess of
the basic rate Of return amounted to
Sl5.2l2 ,4O2. Some Government
spokesmen characterize the excess
as excessive earnings"
Company spokeSmen today argued
the consumer savings figure. as pre-
sented, was the result of simple
arithmetic and that the cumulative
result was more than $91, 1000
Some experts in the hearing room
made calculations to show that if
increased consumption and added
customers since 1925 were consid-
cred, the cumulative savings would
be more than 100000 900.

ance of no more than a Fed

Adoption of such an accounting
rule may carry the case to the
