Treatment For
Birthmarks Not
Always Needed

BY HERMAN y BuSDESEN VI. I
AVASCULAR nevus is birth
mark which is made up for the
most part Of blood vessels. Some
Of these marks are present AZ the
time Of birth but seem 10 disappear
without any treatment whatsoever
by the time the baby is about SIX
wears old. They seem to grow quite
rapidly and reach the largest size
IN a few weeks OF a few months,
In practically every case they stop
growing by the time the baby is a
wear old They may vary IN size
from that Of a dime to growth
large enough to cover one side Of
the face.
Ore type OF vascular neyus is
called a strawberry angloma
These are scarlet 10 a deep purple
In color and have an irregular sur
face and are somewhat raised
above the skin.
Another variety Of birthmark is
called a caveruous angioma and is
located in the tissues under the
skin. These birthmarks are soft
and round and vary from faint
10 deep blue color. They may
either be level with or slightly
raised above the surface Of the
skin.
These types Of neyi are usually
treated by applying carbon dioXide
snow, by using X-rays or radium.
and by injecting them with some
scar-producing solution. In some
cases they may be cut out or
treated with the electric needle. OF
course, all Of these methods Of
,reatmen, will produce some scar
ring Of the skin
since these growths. however,
seem 10 disappear Of themselves If
left alone, it would appear that no
treatment should be employed for
them until the youngster has
reached the age Of six years. II the
growth has not vanished by that
time, then treatment in one OF the
ways mentioned may be used
Another type Of nevus is called
a spider nevus. This is made up OF
one central swollen or dilated
blood vessel with other blood yes
sells coming from IT, Il may appear
al any age and, according to Doc
tor c. Russell Anderson Of Los
Angeles, it is best treated with the
electric needle when the child is
between ten and twelve years OF
age.
Port-wine marks are red to pur-
pie in color and are commonly To-
Gated on the side of the face or
neck. Such marks also are present
at birth. Unfortunately, no salts
factory treatment for them has az
yet been found. Occasionally plas-
tic surgery may be used with sue
cess. X-ray or radium cannot be
used in getting rid Of them.
A pink to a red area may some
times appear on the back OF the
neck. This continues indefinitely,
but occasionally may fade as a
child grows older. No treatment il
needed for this type Of mark.
OF course, when a birthmark
occurs, a skin specialist should be
consulted who will determine the
type Of mark present, and the
most effective treatment 10 be en-
ployed, if any is NEEDED

eled the house willed her by cous-

Developed

Architects were urged to de-
sign postwar building projects
on the modular basis, as means
of lowering the cost of construc-
ton and improving the quality
of structures built after the
war, in statement by Tyler S.
Rogers, chairman of the tech
meal committee of the Produc-
ers' Council, national organiza-
ton of manufacturers of build
ing materials and equipment.
Recent adoption of new mod
ular sizes by manufacturers Of
metal windows, supplementing
previous agreement on sizes of
brick, clay tile, and concrete
blocks, and progress in that di-
rection by manufacturers of
wooden doors and windows,
makes it possible to enjoy the
benefits of modular planning on
an important scale Immediately
after the war, If projects are de-
signed accordingly" Roger

the doldrums which have hit

Governor Kelly, who has an
nounced he would not seek re-

usual report on my administra-

II have just been told the horses

He rode onto the track with

nounced candidate for governor
whom many consider Kelly's
political heir.
Several score Of state officials
and their followers were on hand
but they talked of the race horses
and of the Russian Declaration
of War, announced from the
judges stand, and not of politics.
1t was an all-republican affair,
no prominent democrats being
present.
Joyous at the Russian an
nouncement, Kelly left the Fair
Grounds with the statement: 1T

Senator James T. Milliken of

Noting that nearly 100000
Michigan men have worn their
country's uniform in this war
and that 10000 of them have
died, Kelly asserted daily we

blessings Of freedom and daily
we will see to 1t that those bless

pendants undiminished."
