The question arose when I noted
the preponderance OF cartocnists on
his large payroll is masculine.
Why?
II have found that very few
women are good cartoonists," said
the Chicago-born wizard. There
have been many good women art
lists, but cartooning by women Is
inevitably too fine and dainty.
Also. cartoon requires sense
OF humor and too often a woman
lacks that. AS a matter Of fact. most
OF the great humorous works have
been produced by men,"
Disney cited one or two excep-
tions to his contention that women
cant cartoon. He also declares that
he employs many women, but as
artists. "As artists, they often have
better knowledge OF color than
men," he said.
Another thing" he added, too

our long and expensive training.
only TO have her marry and retire.
She lets her husband earn the
money, whereas a male cartoonist
has TO stay at his job"
Right now Disney is in various
stages Of preparing about eight fea-
ture pictures. The first postwar
Disney feature, Make Mine Mu-
Sic" will delight screen audiences
this summer. Uncle Remus' will
follow in the fall. Others will follow
at the rate OF three a year. You see,
IL takes Walt and his male cartoon
lists -wo years to knock out a full

reports to c. !. c. headquarters.
The coded messages were TO be left
in discarded cigarette packets near
the Lawrence home. Eleonore
agreed to retrieve and mail them
to a certain address. The Law

"Grandma" Lawrence; Sukey,
Eleonore's small sister, and Mamie,
maid of all work. Eleonore's

but from whom she had heard
nothing since. The adjoining
Wolfe estate has been leased by
B. Stead Jones of New York. and
Eleonore noticed an attractive
blonde on the grounds as she and
Roof. her police dog, returned
from their daily search. At home
she found Jones visiting Grandma.
He explained that his wife is an
invalid and he is interested in
hunting Fifth Columnists". Jones
warned Eleonore against walking
along the mountain road because
of the rough crowds" nearby. A
week later. Roof disappeared. .
Unknown to Eleonore, Bill Steu-
ben is c. I. c. agent. After posing
as a Nazi sympathizer in New
York, he was sent to the school of
sabotage now being conducted at
the Jones mansion by the rnysteri-
Gus Carlotta. Baalah Jones had
told Bill that Csrlotta, "a very
demon of a woman" was seeking a
more secluded locale for her
Tower of Learning" and Bill sug-
gested the Wolfe estate where he
is now Number II. Bill heard 4

himself. is impressed by her hyp-
motto allure.

Your Health
Penicillin Cream
New Treatment
For Skin Diseases

It VI Shlu blSCdoCo
BY HERMAN BuNDESEN. N. D
. PENICILLIN has proved to be
such a wonderworker against Sc
rious general infections that every
one will be glad when It can be
added to the family medicine chest
as a weapon against infected cuts,
burns, and other skin disorders.
Penicillin might be compared to
a human genius, marvellous in his
own line, but temperamental and
unstable, and requiring special
handling. The problem has always
been to get II to "stay put" in an
-ss'ly applied substance.
Cream o: Ointment
Now, Drs. Philip Greey and
Harvey D. Hebb Of Canada report
that penicillin can be successfully
added TO a cream or to an oint-
ment and thus, spread directly on
infected skin to hasten its cure.
These physicians made up var
ious creams and ointments, some
Of lanolin, some Of wax, some Of
stearic acid, some Of mineral oil,
sterilized them and then added
penicillin. In q number Of the
preparations, the penicillin seemed
to retain its potency or power TO
heal, for two or three weeks when
stored at cold temperatures.
Used Promptly
None Of the preparations sp-
peared sufficiently stable to per-
NIT manufacturing large quanti-
ties at a time. In other words, il
would appear advisable, il a peni-
cillin cream or ointment is to be
used, that it be made up fresh and
used promptly.
Care must also be taken 10 keep
penicillin creams and ointments
sterile, since molds may get into
them and destroy the. penicillin.
This is done by not putting any
thing which is not sterile into the
jar containing the pcnicillin prep
aration.
When penicillin cream was
spread on infected burns, it was
found that it began to lose its po-
tency after about 4S hours. Hence,
a daily change Of dressings would
appear necessary, at the least
every two days.
In impetigo, a skin disease, and
in infections Of the beard, good
results were obtained.
Sinus Infectios.
Penicillin cream was also used
for treating sinus infections. In
doing this, the doctors injected .
small amount Of the penicillin
cream into the affected sinus every
two or three days. Before each in
lection the cream remaining from
the previous treatment was
washed out with salt water.
In a few cases, a skin rash oc-
Cured on the area where the peni-
cillin was applied. Since it would
appear that these patients were
sensitive either to the penicillin
or something in the cream base,
the chances for development Of
this skin irritation should be borne
in mind whenever a penicillin
cream is TO be used for ten days or
longer.
Penicillin in the home medicine
cabinet is still in the future but
it can be stated that doctors are
overlooking no chance to make full
use Of the great new healing drug.
As time goes on, it Is possible that
new methods Of applying it will
be learned, and that new uses for
the methods we now have will be

The Other Side

American railroads are facing a
serious financial situation according to
competent students of. the nations
transportation facilities.
The pleas of several major carriers
before the Interstate Commerce Com
mission for an increase in freight rates
have been substantially reinforced by
data showing a deficit of SAP, 000,0 900
by Class l roads in the first seven
months of this year.
Another example of the graveness
of the situation is reflected in the testi-
mony by officials of the Pennsylvania
that their road would show a deficit
in 1916 for the first time in it's CEN
tury-long history.
The I. C. C. recently granted a
6 per cent emergency rise. The carriers
have asked for an additional 10 per
cent to bring the general freight rate
increase to 25 per cent. They declare
that cost increase since 1910 have total
ed around so per cent in labor and 48
per cent in materials, while there has
been a sharp decline in revenue from
wartime levels.
1t is true that the roads benefited
during the war years, cutting long-term
debt about $4,000, o00,o 900 and boosting
their working capital. But a tremen-
dous program of repairs and rehabilita-
ton now faces them. Maintaining and
improving operating efficiency becomes
unlikely without higher revenues.
A recommendation that the 1. C. C.
Withhold a further increase in rates until
sometime in 1947, when the revenue
and expense picture is clearer" was
advanced by the then Acting Secretary
of Commerce Alfred SCHNEIDER.
Perhaps SCHNEIDER thought he was
%befriending the public.
But holding net rail income below
depression-year levels at a time when
the national income is the highest on
record is hardly good economic pro-
cedure. The health of the railroads is
of national concern. Without needed
revenue, they cannot give the improved
service they seek and which the public
wants.

Sounds Like Mutiny

Mrs. Mildred Y. Mckay, director of
safety and education for the Cleveland
Automobile club, has endeared herself
to most males by her recent statements
at Chicago.
There to attend the 34th National
Safety Congress and Exposition, Mrs.
Mckay, a safety expert, said women are
lousy automobile drivers. She ever con-
tended that the fair sex knows less
about driving than they do about buy
ing hats.
Many a poor male has long felt that
Mrs. Mckay is right, but you can rest
assured that not one would have dared
to have stood up in public and make
such a charge.
Give a woman a $1,000 mink coat
and she will car for it like a baby"
said the lady traffic authority. "But
give her a $1,000. automobile and she
Will park it anywhere, forget about oil
anu luorlcatlon and add a garage door
to its fender" she contends.
The average woman hasn't the
1alntest idea of what is on the other
end OF the controls on a car" we're
still quoting Mrs. Mckay. "She pushes
and pulls things because she has been
told to do so.
If a woman has the intelligence
to drive a car, she should have
the intelligence to make it her business
to learn something about what makes
that car stop and go" so she contends.
While many a victim of back-seat-
driving may humble a n%on-audible word
of praise for the forthrightness of the
lady experts contentious, we're willing
