PECEFTLY, / reported that
~ the Senate post Office does
not issue money orders and that
senators desiring same have to
90 to the House. I have lust
been set right now about this
by Mr.. Jack w. Gates, the dis
tinguished postmaster OF the
Senate.
Mr.. Gates said il is true that
no money orders are issued in
the small Senate branch office
In the Capitol itself. but that
between $4,000 and $4,000
worth a month are issued in the
big branch in the Senate Of
flee building.
1 also implied that the House
post office did more work than
the Senate post office. because
there are more representatives
than senator's. Again, Mr.. Gates
has put me straight.
II seems that senators have
more mail than congressman.
And here's an interesting side
light:
Senators send out more let
ters than they receive. The
senatorial outgoing mail aver
ages $4,000 letters a day; in
coming mail only $1,000.
When a great controversial
issue arises, however. the in
coming mail skyrockets. Mr..
Gates said the greatest mail de-
luge In his time was when Presi.
dent Roosevelt tried to pack
the Supreme Court. For weeks,
the mail from constituents aver
aged 165. 900 letters a day,
/ would like to be able to tell
you how much mail is handled
daily by the House post Office,
but Postmaster Finis f. Scott
said he does not keep any
check. He said, however. that
II is a lot of mail.
The biggest mail influx he
can remember was over the

A 5 A general rule. operation
"A for the removal OF the cyst
can be done with a local anes-
thetic. A cut is made over the
cyst and the wall Of the cyst is
then freed from the surrounding
tissues and the entire cyst is
easily removed in this way. II
the wall is not completely re-
moved. 1t is likely that the cyst
will come back again.
Another type of tumor growth
on the scalp is known as
lipoma. or fatty tunor. These
tumors are soft. and freely

slowly as rule. and cause no
difficulty other than TO inter-
fere with the appearance. They
can be easily removed. how

the operations are simple and

his personality Is cast in the

formal with him.

TO him as Mr.. Lincoln or

MORE and more have people
A been urged 10 be on the
lookout for tumor growths no
matter where they are. These
tumors may occur on any part
OF the body. They are frequent
on the scalp. and they may de-
velop on the skin. the tissue
under the skin. or the membrane
around the skull.
Perhaps the most common
form OF tumor on the scalp is
one known as a Sebaceous cyst.
These cysts are commonly
known as wens. They may be
small in size and stay that way
for years or they may continue
TO grow until they reach the
size OF a grapefruit. AS the cyst
enlarges, the pressure may so
interfere with the blood supply
TO the scalp that spot Of bald
ness occurs.
THESE cysts are made up Of
L a sac containing thick
sebaceous or fatty fluid. The
longer the cyst is allowed 10 re-
main. the bigger il may become
and the greater Is the risk OF
complications. such as infection
or ulcer formation in the skin
due 10 pressure. Infection is
common complication. When IL
ccurs, the cyst gets tender and
kense.
II the infection recurs several
times, the cyst wall becomes
fastened to the scalp and a thick
material develops within the
cyst containing white blood cells
and dead tissue cells. II an In
fected cyst breaks open. an ulcer
or sore forms. II the contents
Of the cyst slowly escape day by
day and dry in successive layers
on the skin what is known as
sebaceous horn may develop.
This horn Is firmly attached at
its bottom and may grow TO sew
eral inches in length.
Thus. IL may be seen that the
sooner a sebaceous cyst is re-
moved. the better. Even though
the growth of the cyst may be
slow, IL practically always
occurs. II no complications de-
velop, the cyst can be removed
with ease, but when complica-
tons such as infection have
