New Techniques
Used For Skin
BIemish Surgery

The medical world has long
been aware that scars, unsightly
pigmentation and skin deformi-
ties may well have a serious
effect on the mental well-being
of those afflicted and frequently
result in economic difficulties and
social insecurity.
In a paper appearing in the
current issue of the New York
State Journal of Medicine, the
technique of which was demon
strated before the recent Ninth
Inter-American Congress of the
Pan American Medical Associa-
ton, Dr. Joseph J. Eller of New
York describes an effective me-
thod for the removal of such
defects by the use of rotary
steel brushes.
For many years, dermatolO-
gists have removed scars by var
ious methods such as so-called
sandpaper surgery, chemicals, and
by scarification.
The sandpaper abrasion tech
nique, while the best of the pre-
iously used methods, has dis
advantages such as disqualification
and the use of a general anesthe-
tic.
In the past few years, DR.
Eller has corrected numerous
types of pitted acne scars and
smallpox and other scars by
means of surgical abrasion with
the use of rotary stainless steel
wire brushes revolving at a rate
cf twelve thouand revolutions
per minute. The process is pain
less throughout. The operative
procedure is relatively simple and
does not require disqualification.

dent in choosing a career by pro-
viding information on the engi-
neering profession and facilities in
that field at the university.
Central Ohio high school pupils
interested in engineering have
been invited to the campus Thurs
day, April %, and those from other
areas of the state on Friday, April
80.
Registration on each day will
begin at $50 am. at the Ohio IN
ion. The program will open at
1920 am. in the Conference
Theatre in that building, and the
days events will end at 4 pm.
Dean Gordon B. Carson of the
College of Engineering will dis
cuss aspects Of an engineering ca
reer Thursday, and Prof. Lawr-
ence D. Jones, secretary of the
college, will speak Friday.
Other program events will in
clude a faculty-student panel on

Child Accidents
Up In Springtime

Longer days and sunshine bring
more people out of doors. And this
is reflected in the accident situat-
ion.
The most noticeable change is
the increase in child accidents,
which starts in April, reaching its
peak in June.
Pedestrian injuries, drowning,
burns and bicycle accidents pro-
duce most of the increase. How
ever the burn season practically
ends with April while drownings
seldom go above the usual month
ly figure of or 3. '..
1t is suggested that parents do
a little retaining of pre-school age
children, who have been outdoors
only a little during the winter,
The small fry probably have for
gotten the rule stay out of the
street. . asr
Playing in the street, running
into the street in pursuit of a ball
or to meet a friend produce
many of the pedestrian accidents
to children Slightly more than
half of the child pedestrian deaths
involve. school age children.
A very good scheme is to
train your child to stop at the
curb, count slowly to four, look
both ways, before stepping into
the street. Another, helpful point
is to establish landmarks - to
show the child the distance from
him to the nearest vehicle that is
required to allow him to cross the
street safely.
Of course, the example of the
parent is the strongest influence
in training youth in proper ped
estrian habits.

Weeds Cause Big
Farm Crop Loss

Weeds are responsible for grea-
ter losses to farmers than any
other single factor except soil er-
osion, according to the u. S. De-
partment of Agriculture. Annual
cost of weed damage is figured at
over SIS billions.
This damage may not involve
actual crop destruction. Greatest
losses may come from failure to
reach maximum yields, c. Allan
Shadbolt and DR.. L. c. Holm,
University of Wisconsin horticul-
ture department, point out. Also,
weeds may harbor insects or dis
eases, and interfere with nor
NAL cultural practices.
Early Control Vital
Two years of experiments at the
Wisconsin university on weed
damage show that lit is extremely
important that most weeds be re-
moved within the first three
weeks after crop emergence to
prevent losses of yield and quail
ity," research assistant Shadbolt
and DR.. Holm report. While crops
vary in resistance to weed COM
petition, as with the carrots, beets
and onions in the Wisconsin ex-
periments, "timeliness in weed con-
troll on vegetable crops cannot be
overestimated"
It was also found that "a 15R6
weed stand can do nearly as much
injury as a 500 stand" because
each weed plant, if allowed to
compete freely, will grow much
more vigorously.
Such research focuses even
greater attention on weed con-
troll, especially by chemicals. How
ever, Professor Charles J. Noll of
Pennsylvania State University adj
vises that chemical wedding is an
additional method, not a Substi-
tute for cultivation, crop rotation
or other good wedding practices.
Where chemical herbicides are
used successfully, number of culti-
vations and cost of wedding are
reduced and control improved"
On canning crops, Professor
Noll feels wedding should not be
the sole responsibility of the grow
er. For crops such as peas and
lima beans losses due to weeds
may result primarily from increa-
sed costs of cutting, hauling and
vining. With other crops weed
losses are due to increased har-
vesting costs, increase in disease,
decrease in yield and quality ="
DR.. S. K. Ries of Michigan State
College points out that while che
micals are as practical today for
controlling weeds as for insects
and diseases in processing crops,
certain environmental limitations
affect most weed control chemi-

Tips For NyIOn
Stocking Wear

Edith Berry, Ohio State Univer-
sity clothing specialist, says nylon
stockings will wear longer if hand
led properly. She gives five tips
for longer wear:
1. Fasten the stocking in the
welt That's the reinforced part at
the top of the stocking.
2. Wear hose that are the cor
rect length both in the foot and
the leg. Regulation foot sizes run
from 81a to 101a with special
sizes larger and smaller. The usual
leg lengths are 81, 80 and 33 in
ches.
3. Put stockings on with care.
Miss Berry says to roll the stock
ing leg, insert the foot and pull
up gently. Beware of rough places
on the skin or nails which may
catch a thread, she warns. If nee
essary, wear gloves when putting
on hosiery.
4. Use lukewarm water and a
neutral soap or synthetic deter
gent to wash stockings. Avoid u.s.
ing rough clothespins which may
cause snags and hang away from
the sun or direct source of heat,
5. It's wise when purchasing
stockings to buy at least two pairs
in the same color. Then if one
stocking wears out, the other can
be matched, rather than discard
ed.
Following these tips on wear
ing, washing and buying nylon
hose will not only result in long
er wear, but greater economy
and more satisfaction, the special
ist points out.

Monday morning founds the
Freshman and Sophomore Ag.

a trip to the F. F. A. farm. Under
Mr.. Hocking's supervision they're
making a full-length movie of
their activities there. Guess we

how it turns out, we'll just have
to be patient, for there's no rush

But even show people have to
study, and everyone discovered
how much talent they had along
that line when report cards came
along on Wednesday. Most of the
results were pretty favorable, but
there were a few disappointed
faces here and there.

MARION, o., - The railroads

But the dead hand of over-reg-

spoke as a representative of the
Railroad Community Committee of
Columbus.
mot for using your roads but
for the privilege of using and
maintaining our own, the railroads
pay 115-billion dollars in taxes
every year, almost a quarter-mil-
lion dollars in Marion County"
Wallace said.
"One of the questionable activi-
ties of regulations is in the pre-
scribing and holding of artificially
high levels of rates." he said.
within a year we have been re-
fused permission to lower our
rates on all canned foodstuffs,
clothing and drygoods, and on
cigarettes and tobacco"
Government regulations also
shackle the railroads by refusing
to allow them to quote wholesale,
he said, one of the first principles
of any large business, with the re-
suit that both the railroads and
the public lose.
