Rival to my Heart

brought out Katie's creative pow
ers. The madrilene was a pale
golden iceberg. Shed added water
cress to the salad. The iced tea
was fragrant with mint And in
stead Of the remnant Of icebox
cake, she'd whipped up a hot spicy
gingerbread cake with applesauce.
Steve ate with candid relish. 81
don't get food like this in fathers
place." he confessed. "His cook
makes everything taste alike. Your
Katie is a wonder"
"With reservations" Gail said.
"Has she been with you long?"
Sometimes it seems a lifetime"
Gail said. "But it's only three
years" Three years ago. . She'd
had q small Office on Fairmont
Street then, right in the heart Of
the business section, in a cheap
apartment house. She had slept on
the couch in the waiting room, and
cooked her food on a gas plate.
Katie lived across the hall. She had
been widow for many years. She
lived in a weller of movie maya
zines, hair dyes, and imaginary all
ments. From the very beginning,
she plagued Gail with pleas for
treatments. In payment, she would
bake cake or make superb stew.
"She seems utterly devoted to
you," Stephen said.
"Too devoted!" Gail said. "She
mixes shamelessly into my affairs.
She inveigled me into buying this
house last year. She convinced me
that it was as cheap as paying rent;
that every respectable citizen must
have a mortgage to worry about"
"Have you only been practicing
for four years?" he asked. at seems
to me you've made extraordinary
strides"
"It's still pretty tough but the
important thing is that l have
gained the confidence Of what
patients ! have had"
as it still tough, as you say,
partly because you are woman?"
he asked.
"Well, I've bucked up against
that ever since l entered medical
school. Most men doctors still re-
sent women. But that hasn't both
cred me nearly as much as the
attitude Of a good many older
doctors toward their work" Her
eyes were stormy. "They are so
darned arbitrary You'd think
they were dealing with robots not
human beings"
Wouldn't it have been easier for
you if you'd gone into research" he
suggested.
perhaps. But it isn't what
wanted. ! love working with people
IL like people; they aren't just
medical problems to me! Besides
the practice Of medicine is so con-
stantly a challenge" She did not
go into a discussion Of her own
ideas, which included a great belief
in socialized medicine, but Stephen,
watching her, thought, that un-
bounded energy Of hers can destroy
her happiness unless it is har-
messed. Would she, he wondered,
be content with less than she her
self demanded Of life?

have letter issued by Chief of
Fats, Oils and Dairy Products
Branch Of the OPA, f. w. Broken
brough, containing the following
paragraph:
IF consumers prefer to spend
their points for greater share of
one Of the foods, that is their privi-
lege, but any preference for an
additional share requires forego-
ing a quantity of another. 1t is
expected that points, like money,
will be budgeted by the housewife.
The present ration share Of cream
cry butter is about one-half pound
per month per person, and II other
foods in the program are bought
in the quantities which represent
the individuals share, that quantity
of butter can be purchased with the
points issued"
So again the people are being
blamed. Do you remember when
things used to go wrong in the
latter days OF the New Deal? 1t
was the people who were to blame.
Not the great economists. Not the
wonderful brains who always plan
ned 1t that way. No. They could
never do anything wrong. II things
went badly, 1t was because the
American people were stiff-necked.
obdurate, unwilling to be regiment
ed. 1t was because they did not
know the facts which no one would
tell them.
I thought that that approach to
public policy had been abandoned,
| but 1t does manage to re-appear,
particularly in such hold-over insti'
tutions as the OPA and the OWL
which remain in spite Of wide
spread public disapproval.
In a prior paragraph, Mr.. Brock

Now, would like to ask the

how many Of them have any choice

I Stephen Mccormick said pleasant
ly. "You look-remote."
"I'm sorry" she said contritely.
She couldn't help comparing the
two men. They were Of about the
same height, but where Burke had
the body of an athlete, overdevel-
oped chest and arms, powerful legs,
Stephen McCormick's frame was
meager, almost emaciated. But
that was, Gail supposed, because
he'd recently been wounded, sick
and hungry. She thought he would
probably look very different when
he was back to normal.
Burke's face was square, and al
ways tanned-by the sun in the
summer; by lamps in the winter.
Steve Mccormick had a narrow
face, with a prematurely lined fore
head, yet the intensity Of his ex-
preston made him seem colorful,
passionate, alive-even when he sat
quietly, without saying a word.
Gail decided it was nice to have
him here.
He looked around, taking in the
light blue walls, the white mantel,
the plain sofa, covered in a blue
and white striped material, the vase
of giant zinnias at the window,

filed with modern furniture that

Parasites MAY
Affect Several
Parts of Body

By HERMAN NJ. BUNDEsEN. NJ. D
MOST Of our readers will have
heard about ringworm Of the feet
but when we talk about dermat-
ophytoSis they probably will Won
der just what kind of condition
that is. Dermatophytosis is an in
lection of the upper layers Of the
skin, the hair, and the nails, caused
by any one Of q group Of fungi
which are like yeasts or molds.
These parasites may infect many
different parts Of the body.
It is usually not difficult to make
q diagnosis of these disorders be-
cause the symptoms are quite typ
ical. However, when any doubt
exists as TO whether or not q fun
gous infection is present scrap
ings can be made from the affected
skin and examined under the mic
roseope for the presence Of the
fungus.
Foot Ringworm
So-called ringworm Of the feet
is a dermatophytosis.
According TO Doctor Edmund L.
Keeney of the Johns Hopkins Uni
versity School Of Medicine, in re-
cent times two ointments have been
developed which seem to work
quite successfully in treating der
metaphysics. These have quite
long names.
One is called propionate-pro-
picnic acid ointment and the other
observation-disclosures acid
ointment. These ointments are not
only satisfactory for the trea.
ment Of the foot conditions but
also ringworm Of the groin and
other parts Of the skin.
Applied 10 Toes
For the treatment of the feet
either one Of these ointments is APP
piled over the toes, between and
under the toes every night. The
following morning the ointment is
removed by washing with soap and
water, and the feet are busted with
'talcum powder. A powder called
calcium propionate powder is also
Of value. Some of the powder
should also be busted into the
shoes.
This treatment is continued un-
til the condition is completely
healed and then for several weeks
thereafter. II there are large bis
tiers on the soles of the feet, or, il
there is q great deal of infiamma-
ton, other types Of treatment may
be necessary. For example, for the
inflammation, soaking with potas-
SUM permanganate solution is
often advised.
In treating the ringworm Of the
groin or skin Of other parts Of the
body, the ointment is applied at
night and every morning not only
to the affected skin, but also to the
normal skin Immediately sur
rounding the infected area. The
treatment in these cases is con-
tinued for about a week after heal
ing has occurred

Bradford Washburn Com pIefes Army Tests in
 Interior Region

Bradford Washburn, geographer, explorer, mountaineer, conqueror ot Mt. Lucania and Mt Mckinley, has added another chapter to his ad- ventures in the least accessible areas of Alaska with the completion oi three months testing assignment for the Army Air Forces.
 Mir Washburn, who is now serv- ing in a consultant capacity as Special Assistant to the Chief of the AAF Personnel Equipment Labora- tory at Wright Field, Ohio, arrived in Juneau Friday night by plane from Anchorage. He stopped here overnight at the Baranof Hotel and after conferences Saturday with Gov Ernest Gruening, left southbound for Wright Field Saturday afternoon

 Gov. Gruening encountered MT. Washburn recently at Fairbanks and invited him to stop off here on his return trip to the States for con- forences on postwar developments in the Territory. While here, Mrg Washburn engaged in two meetings with the Governor and with Alfred Kuehl, landscape architect for the National Park Service, detailed this summer to development studies of National Park and Monument areas in the Territory.

 MT.
