A Condition
That Minnics
Sinus Trouble
By HERMAN N. BUNDEsEN, MD.

PREVALENT as it is, sinus trou-
Bile is often more imaginary than
real, particularly among people suf-
fering from the condition known a.
postnasal drip.
In this disorder there is 4 drain.
ing of secretions from the nose to
the throat, together with some
coughing. People who experience
this unpleasant sensation are very
likely to believe that sinus infec-
ton is at the root Of their trouble,
whereas an examination would
show that the sinuses are perfectly
clear.
Disturbed Function
The real cause of postnasal drip,
according to DR.. Joseph Stamm Of
New Orleans, is disturbed function
of the nose, which ordinarily con-
ditions the inhaled air by warming,
moistening and cleansing it. Thb,
nose must also cleanse itself Of the
dirt and dust extracted from the
air. Thus, excessive mucus formed
in the nose may be merely a protse-
tive activity.
There are, however, a number of
conditions which may contribute to
abnormal functioning of the nose.
Some persons. for example. may be
oversensitive to certain dusts or
pollens which cause excessive n,u-
cous secretion. Remaining in sur
roundings which are too dry or toe
hot may also produce excessive Sc
cretions in the nose.
Nose Drops
Many persons get into the habit
of using certain nose drops over
prolonged periods. These, too, may
disturb the normal action of the
nose.
Tobacco smoke, fumes and dust
may irritate the lining membrane
of the nose and produce an abnor-
NAL amount of mucus. The excessive
use of alcoholic beverages is an.
other common cause.
When a person has postnasal
drip. he is in need of thorough study.
by a nose and throat specialist.
A-rays of the sinuses are taken to
make sure that sinus infection in
not present. The nasal secretions
may be studied under the micro
scope to determine the type Of the
blood cells. Such a study IS helpful
IN order to determine whether or
not the condition is due to allerry
or oversensitivity.
/ Diagnosis Difficult
As a rule, it is not difficult to
make a diagnosis Of nasal allsrry.
Once the cause is found, proper
treatment for the condition may BE-
carried out.
| Medication with nose drops and
preparations which cause the blood
vessels in the lining membrane Of
the nose to contract, should be used
only under the direction Of 1 physi-
clan, since too-frequent use, q i
have mentioned, may only mako 10
trouble worse. rs

How to Choose Your Complexion Powder

Mauve powder has wonderful
possibilities for the white haired
woman; it gives the older skin an
appearance of delicate Transparent
cy. Some blondes use this shade,
touching the eyeliNs with the rouge
pad, tinting the lips with an orange
red pencil.
Green powder tones down the
Norid complexion, 1t is not as terri
BE as it sounds.
If woman is sedate in dress, or
reserved, then her powder, rouge
and lipstick must follow her natural
reserve, be used sparingly, applied
deftly. In all cases, no matter what
the type, it should be remembered
that makeup is a privilege that
should not be abused.

Training TOT to Be
On Time for School

he must leave home in order to ar
rive at school on time. If he is not
ready to leave at this time, require
him to stay home that day serving
the chair-sitting penalty during the
school session. Make him sit doing
nothing without amusement, with a
recess Of ten minutes at the end Of
each fifty minutes. Repeat the same
dosage" the next morning, if nee
essary. Some parents have written
me that one mornings treatment
has worked permanently The treat
ment is so simple - no drugs, no
physicians fee, and see the differ
ence in the home on a school morn
ing. Besides, the child gains self
regard, independence and response
billty as he regularly sends himself
off to school on time. (My bulletin,
Parents Can Help Child Succeed at
School, may be had in stamped
envelope.)
Early Eating Habits
The problem of dawdling on
school morning may lead back to
carly infancy. If, for example. you
push food into the child one, two
or three, with more complicated
scenes over his eating later, he may
learn to dawle over dressing himself
when he is four, six or ten, dread
ing the unhappy meal ahead. Daw-
ding before school easily can GEN.
ter about poor appetite for break
fast. (My bulletin, Eating Prob
lems," may be had in a stamped
envelope.)
Some ugly scenes on a school
morning could be averted if the
family rose twenty or thirty min
utes earlier. When the committing
father cats against the watch the
slightest delay forced upon him by
any other member of the family
may annoy him and he in turn may
annoy other members of the fam
lily. Twenty minutes less of sleep
ing might save more nervous
energy than could be restored by
several hours more of sleep.

Food for Thought

To make cherry olives wash fresh
Royal Anne cherries, leaving their
stems on. Fill a hot, sterilized pint
fruit jar with the cherries. Add a
teaspoon of salt, a teaspoon of SUI
gar, a half-cup of vinegar and
enough water to fill the jar. Seal
and store. in cool dark place for
several weeks before using.

powder with geranium lipstick. If
rouge she must use, it must natur-
ally be harmonious with the color
used on the mouth. For eye shading
she can use blue of the faintest tone.
Many specialists say that when
shadows are used, the synthetic
blush should he omitted. Too much
color and the face becomes itho-
graphic.
For the Brunette
The brown haired, brown eyed
brunette will find deep rachelle
with the slightest suggestion of
flesh fattering you get these blend
ed at cosmetic bars. The Latin type
brunette must have an ochre pow
der. She is the one type that can use
a vivid lipstick to advantage.

Synopsis: In his Hotel Lansfeld sAiite, Dicky
Graham is trying to reassure his wife. Madge,
who has learned from their orphaned niece.
Mary Veritzen, theatrical star. that Mary s
younger brother, Rodcrick, dear to the
Grahams as their own son, Junior. has been
needing \ lot Of money lately. There are
Just two reasons for Rodericks wanting a
large sum of money" Dicky says. First,
that he's helping a friend out of hole and.
secondly that he is in hole himself a bad
one. but through no fault of his own.
"a BAD hole? Roderick ?" l re-
peated, trying to keep my voice un-
der control, but thoroughly shaken
by his words. "What do you mean,
and can you get him out of it,"
"Now, don't get the bit out of
your mouth and bolt on me-" my
husband admonished me.
SIN the first place." he went on,
"there's only chance that he him
self is in trouble. Ninety-nine to one
he's helping some other chap. But
it's that one chance we've got to
face, and, might add, there's moth
ing woman can do. However,
something's got to be done before
the boys go back to school"
But" l said lamely, "how can
you do anything? In about thirty
six hours we all start for the farm"
81 know, l know" he said a bit
impatiently. II can't go up to the
school myself wouldn't get any,
where if l did go-because the
school authorities mustn't get even
a casual sniff at this. But l know a
man l can plant there, who will
have the dope on everything in a
couple of days"
Mortified Protest
"Dicky!" l protested, more horri-
fed than ever. "You can't mean
you're putting a private detective
on the trail of our boys!"
He stood up, came over to me,
lifted me to my feet, facing him.,
and turned my face up to his.

Wallpaper
Offerings
By ELEANOR ROSS

& WE know that wallpaper isn't an
severyday purchase but it is nice to
know that value is not the least of
the charms of the new lines now
coming into the market.
In the new lines the high-fashion
sdesigns and high-style colors are
knowing into the lower bracket pa.
,pers. Deep, dark shades in styled
patterns which were formerly OBJ.
tainable in the more expensive pa.
spers are now available in medium
rand low-priced papers. Just as there
has been = radical change in fash.
Jon. which has been accepted, WON.
. en- are demanding high style in color
and design, and at prices they can
pay. in the home furnishings field,
and this goes particularly for wall
'ipaper., There is an increasing de-
mand for interesting and colorful
papers in the medium and low-price
brackets, and the manufacturers
shave come through nicely.
8 Vibrant Shades
AS for the papers themselves,
.'color is the big news this year, with
fdeep, vibrant shades, many of them
atof the muted, dark variety, the type
Sfthat gives a different look to any
room. There are charcoals, rich
stone grays, deep wines, terra Gotta
and-even dark chocolate browns. Yet
all of these colors are in the muted
: tones that make them soft and easy
to live with.
Starred in the new color line.up
is a rich teal, a color that surely
must be new for wall paper. And
there is an abundance of bluish-lav-
ender shades and puppies and lilacs,
and an exciting use of yellow and
chartreuse, too. So wall paper is
just about the most interesting way
to introduce something vastly diff
ferent in the way of color into your
home furnishings scheme, even if
only one wall gets the treatment.
New Patterns
As for design. mostly the new
patterns are livable modern rather
than being Of the stark modernistic
variety.
There are all sorts of delight
full novelties, designed for special
rooms. How about doing a child's
room with = wall paper patterned
with pussy willows with kittens &C.
centuating the pattern here and
there? And how about at least one
wall Of = kitchen or dining nook
with = paper that features a COM
plete place setting with knives,
forks, glasses and china, with even
food on the plates.
Small.Scale SCENES
Scenic papers retain their popu-
larity and small-scale scenes are
available in nice range. One fea-
lures fleets Of sailing vessels and
scenes from q tiny coastal village
depicted in subtle colors on va
riety of grounds including green,
steel blue and dusty rose. Then
there is another paper, this one
more pretentious and formal, that
shows sketches Of the fine palaces
of colonial governors in their tradi-
tional, authentic colorings.
Another scenic paper features
barns, windmills and country lanes.
Fiorals are prettier than ever, with
the old favorites and some additions
such as gladiola, rhododendron and
fleur-de-lis, as well as some dogwood
beauties. Deep pink and red rhodo-
dendrons against a white ground,
or in orchid and purple against buff
is really handsome.

BY GARRY CLEVELAND MYERS, Ph.D.

YOU may be familiar with some
scenes like these on a school morn
ing. A child panicky over catching
the school bus, his father, mother
or other family members rushing
about to find his cap, books or
other things, a nervous father in
his car honking his horn, fretting
over being late to work, while son
or daughter whom he takes to
school keeps him waiting; a child
bounded to hurry from the time he
gets up till he is pushed out the
door for school. Some mothers say
they must lie down for half an hour
after such an ordeal.
Scenes like these don't occur just
occasionally. They happen morning
after morning. Perhaps the child
leaves for school weeping or in a
great Other, leaving one or two dis
traught parents behind-not very
happy outlook for the day for either
of them.
Regular Leaving Time
What may be done about it? If the
child goes to school with his father
they should go at regular time.
and if the child is late, he can walk
to school (Which he usually should
do anyway each morning in case he
is over seven or eight and the
weather good. If by bus, let the
child worry about catching it.
In case the child walks regularly
to school don't fret over getting him
off on time. Ascertain the time when

A Bet ter day

Ar editorial published on Aug
Is in the Arkansas Gazette OF
Little Rock deals with the adnis.
sion of young woman, a Negro
to The states medical college in
that city. She is the firs mem.
Der Of her race to have been ac-
cepted there as a student. Pre-.
viously a, Negro was admitted
to the states law school at Fay
etteville. The editorial commends
the public officials who were res
ponsible for disregarding the old
taboos.
The doors of opportunity are
opening slowly to the Negro
much more slowly than most of
lis would like to see but the i'm
rortant fact to be observed is
that they are opening in the souh
as well as ne north. A generation
or two ago, few if any, southern
would have published an editor
ial commencing the board Of trus-
tees of a southern state univer-
sity for admitting Negro students.
We think the concluding para
graph of the editorial is worth
quotation;
"The board of trustees of the
university and all the state Off
Gals concerned have displayed
courage and wisdom of a high
order in dealing with difficult
situation. They deserve, anil we
are confident they viii receive
the support of the great major
ity of Arkansas of both races" .

sometimes it changes for the bett-
err.
