BADGER MELEE

Ralph M. Immell is making things equally unhappy for the Old Guard COP. bosses in Wisconsin.
 A tall, striking veteran of both World Wars and lifelong Progress sive, he has what looks like a winning grip on the Republican gubernatorial nomination. Like Cervi, Immell is aggressively carry ing his fight to the opposition and mincing no words about them.
 Naming names, Immell is blasting state COP. leaders as reaction aries and advocating detailed list of reforms. In his numerous speeches he is teliingly relating a Civil War episode to get over his point that a big change is needed in the states management. This is Immell's story:
 During one of General McClel- lan's long periods of inaction, Lincoln wrote him the following letter:
 Dear General:
 If you don't intend to use your
 army. could I borrow it for a
 while?"
 Immells biggest problem is over confidence in his ranks. Obvious ly in the lead, his supporters may take too much for granted. The COP. machine is unquestionably scared and in trouble. But it's well i-heeled and if the vote is light has a chance to skim through. Re- nublican leaders are making no

neglect of place geography.
Newspaper Maps
During the late world war there
appeared many maps in newspapers
and magazines, chiefly to enable the
reader to follow the cGhtesting
armed forces. But since the war not
many maps have thus APPEARED.
Here raise the question whether
children at school should not learn
more place geography than they do.
Would not such knowledge enable
them to read the newspaper and
listen to the radio, and to converse,
more intelligently?
Parents interested in this matter
might well provide the family with
globe and some up-to-date maps
showing relative sizes and positions
of the countries most often in the
news and the relative position Of
the cities from which news most
often comes, together with the ap.
proxinrate air-distance between
these cities.
Interesting Conversation
With the aid Of q globe and such
maps the family conversation could
be made more interesting and in.

Steps To
Hair.
Beauty
BY FRANCES FOX

LEW women who take care
l. of their own hair realize
that in order to achieve that
lovely, lustrous look they need
more than a weekly shampoo.
For really beautiful hair is hair
that receives not weekly, but
daily care.
Here are the FIVE things you
should do to your hair regu-
larly:
The weekly shampoo is most
important. Use good shampoo,
be generous with the amount
you use and be sure that it is
thoroughly rinsed out. You
know it's really clean when a
strand "squeaks" between your
fingers.
After your shampoo good
cream rinse will make your hair
easier to comb. 1t also helps to
rinse away the residue left
from minerals found in water.
Perhaps you have noticed
that your hair doesn't hold a

ment. Use thin.skinned oranges for
place cards. Tie crepe paper bon
net on each, or paper frill to frame
face. Make eyes by cutting out two
oval pieces of white paper, and affix-
ing to orange with blue thumb tacks,
used for eye-pupils. Cut mouth Of
red paper and affix with tiny red
thumb tack or map pin. A little lip
stick rubbed into the "cheeks" will
simulate the proper rosy glow. Cut
eyebrows or hair by cutting strips
from suitably colored paper, and af-
fix with straight pins. Place name Of
guest on card, which is propped up
under the "chin." Youngsters, espe-
cially. delight in such gestures.
Have plenty of Christmas selves"
on hand to express the holiday
spirit. Use a pulled fig for the body.
Insert a wire through the. top and
the bottom. Cover the wire with
pitted dates for the arms and legs,
and with raisins for hands and feet.
Attach a marshmallow head by
means Of a toothpick neck. BLONDES"
have the top of the heads dipped into
light corn syrup, and then into
toasted cocoanut.
Fancy Popcorn Balls
Not just plain popcorn balls, but

cold water).
While syrup is cooking, crisp 5

How to Put Up Your Hair in Pin Cur|s

the little coils on the left side, part
ing from the crown to the nape, hold
ing back the hair with . tuck comb.
Work from crown to nape line, then
part off another strand. Do the front
locks, the bangs last.
If you would have wide lines in a
long bob, start at the back, making
two or three rows running from ear
to ear. Every curl should be the same
size as the next one. Then, when the
hair is combed, there will be an un-
broken undulation from one side to
the other. For the feather cut, start
from temple to temple, follow that
line to the crown, then start at the
nape line and work upward.
II you want your hair to dry
quickly, dampen it with good quality
witch hazel then roll up in pin curls.

AS one steps into a modern class
room above the third or fourth
grade, one may see many news
paper clippings on the bulletin
board put there by the children
themselves. One may hear some
children explain these clippings
bits of news and facts. Upon exam
lining these clippings more closely
one may see on them names of vari-
Gus cities Of different parts OF the
world. How fine would such a bull
letin board be in the home, espe-
cially in the chiid's own room!
The school child at home often
hears news reports flashed from
various foreign cities, including
such as Tokyo, Shanghai, Cairo,
Delhi, Moscow, Stockholm, Rome,
Berlin, Toronto, Mexico City, Bue-
nos Aires.
Familiar Names

do not recall one time when I saw

Except in few special courses,

large ones; If thin, the smaller pins
will be better, less likely to drop out
during sleep.
For Tiny Curls
If tiny curls are desired, you can
start winding at the ends of the hair.
This is best if you have bangs, would
have the ends turn under and a
single undulation across the fore
head. Don't fail to put on your wave

Soft, silky thin hair may wave
better if metal curriers' are used. But
it isn't easy to sleep with ones head

PeniciHin In
Dust Form Now
Given Easily
,, HERMAN N. BUNDEsEN, MD.


THERE are number Of different
ways Of administering penicillin
For example, it may be injected into
muscle, it may be taken by mouth
and now it may even be breathed in
in the form Of q mist or dust.
An extensive study has been car.
ried out by DR.. Krasno and his CO.
workers, on more than $50 patients,
using penicillin dust and, under his
direction, a simple apparatus for ad-
ministsring the dust has been de-
vised.
Cold Symptoms
OF the $50 patients, about two
thirds had infections of the respira-
tory tract, and the majority had
symptoms of a cold. The great ma
jority of the remainder had infec-
tions Of the lungs. A few were given
the penicillin dust as a preventive
against infection, before and after
operations. The lung infections
treated were bronchitis and the in
fections that accompany bronchiec.
tasis, condition in which the tubes
in the lungs are dilated or stretched.
The patients breathed in the peni-
cillin one to three times daily. Tests
to determine the number of germs
present in the nose, throat, and
lungs showed great reduction fol-
lowing the use of the penicillin dust.
Studies of the blood showed that
the penicillin was absorbed into the
blood, the amount in the blood being
great enough to have an active effect
for period of five hours following
the treatment.
Skin Rashes
Occasionally, reactions to the
penicillin occur in the form of skin
rashes and some irritation of the
throat.
Of the entire group of patients
treated early, more than third
were greatly improved, and another
third were moderately improved.
This method of treatment seems
to have particular value in bronchi-
ectasis. Improvement usually can be
obtained within ten days to two
weeks, and can be maintained by
continued treatment at home.
The treatment with the penicillin
dust cannot be relied on for han
ding more serious infections, such
as pneumonia. In such cases the in
lection of penicillin into a muscle or
its use by mouth is also advisable.
The penicillin dust treatment is
economical, and disqualification is
not necessary in carrying it out. The
patient getting such treatment can
go about his business without loss
of time. Of course, the treatment
must always be carried out under
the direction of the physician.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
E. L.: What causes the face to
become red and hot, together with
nose bleed? This seems to occur
every day.
Answer: Such a condition possi-
bly, is due to some disturbance of
the circulation. High blood pressure
may be factor. A thorough study
should be carried out to determine
the exact cause.
