How to
STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
Diagnosis Is Missing Factor
BY DR.. PETER }. sTElNcRoHN

Dear DR.. Steincrohn: For
the past few months I've had
what looks like weeping
eczema In my ears. I've tried
all kinds of ointments but
none seems to help. Could
you write a few words about
chronic ear conditions?
Thank you. Miss T., Detroit.
DIAGNOSIS, my dear.
That's the missing factor.
Are you buying the oint-
ments on the recommenda-
tions of well-meaning friends,
or have they been prescribed
by a doctor? If you haven't
got the diagnosis and the
real cause, you're shooting
in the dark. Using your oint-
ments for years might not
help.
For example, I recall such
a patient as yourself. She
came in almost distracted by
the chronic irritation and
inflammation in her ears.
Nothing seems to help" she
said.
Do you know what cleared
/ it up within weeks2 Not
using medicine, just giving
something up.
She had a contact dermat-
tits. The cause? A new nail
polish which produced an al
lergic response in the skin.
She gave up the new brand
and went back to the old.
Presto! Curel
OF course, there may be
other reasons for your ear
trouble. You might have
psoriasis Of your ear canal.
But you would have some in
dication Of that If you had
psoriasis elsewhere: the typ
ical scaly LESSONS on your ell
bows. knees, scalp, chest, etc.
For such ear trouble, your
doctor might prescribe am
moniated mercury, tar, or
chrysarobin.
If your ear Inflammation is
what we call a chronic dis

Carole, who was divorced re-
Gently after two years Of a
very unhappy marriage.
Several months after mar
riage Carole learned that
Dick had no desire for a
family. He had little initia-
tive and expected her to
continue working for the rest
Of their married life. She
was heart : broken. We
thought the best thing was
a quick break so she could
start life again.
Since her divorce, Carole
has been seeing Dick regu-
larly and now talks of a re-
marriage. She says that she
and Dick can work out"
their problems, but we don't
think he can change any
more than a leopard can
change his spots.
CarOle H. - My parents
hustled me into a divorce be-
fore I had a chance to real
ize what I was doing. Now I
see that I really love Dick.
When I go out with others
I realize how much the two
Of us have in common.
Dick was only 81 when we
married and I see now that
the idea of having a family
seemed like too much for
him. I guess we both had a
lot Of maturing to do. I
should have been more un-
derstanding and hoped for
the best.
My parents never liked
Dick because they thought
he was lazy. He gave them
that impression because they
were always pressuring him
to get ahead. He has ambi-
ton. but he believes money
isn't everything and I agree
with him.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
This appears to be a case
Of premature marriage, pre-
mature divorce and now pre-
mature consideration of the
idea of remarriage.
Carole has made some
strides if she now recognizes
that neither she nor Dick
was ready for marriage, but
this alone does not make her
ready for a new marriage,
which is what remarriage to
Dick would be.
The B. HIS made a mis-
take by rushing into this
situation. Undoubtedly they
believed they were acting for
the best but Carole is too
old to be saved by parents.
Now that the drastic break
has been made, we think
Carole should try to see that
none Of her problems with
Dick has been solved. II she
is counting on patience and
understanding" alone to
bring Dick around to her
point of view about having
a family, she is taking too
much for granted.
Carole is running back to
Dicks arms out of the same
childish fear that drove her
back to her parents arms
when all didn't go as planned
in her marriage. She should
put the marriage idea on the
shelf temporarily.

New Building
Mounts In
First Quarter

New construction was definite
ly on the increase here for the
first three months of the year
according to the Quarterly Re-
port of City Manager Chas. A
Carran. Permits for repairs and
alterations also took a lead over
the 1858 figures for the cores
ponding periods.
The 16 new 1859 construction
permits for the three months
totaled S1,174,070 compared to
the IL in 1858 costing $277,275.
Repairs and alterations in the
same period cost $34,490 for the
18 permits.
The larger construction items
during these first three months
of 1859 were: A church building,
S425,000 and a home, $160,00O
both for Christ the King Parish;
four homes ranging in price
from $4,000 to $4,000 each;
one office and warehouse at 1903
Hayden ave-, $4,000; a garage
at 1850 Hayden ave. at $4,000.
Another private garage cost
$1,000.
Four new apartment permits
represent the following planned
expenditures: 15401-21 Plym-
outh Place, $144,0OO; 1926 Tay-
lor rd., $4,000, 1924 Taylor rd.,
$4,000.
AS for repairs and alterations
the major part of the total ex
penditure came in the way OF
repairs following three large
fires. Fire meant $4,000 repair
bill at Economy Buick, $500
at Knights of Columbus Hall,
and $4,000 to private home.
Municipal Court statistic for
the first three months show
6,5787 parking tickets issued and
7,102 tickets paid and voided.
The seeming confusion in these
numbers may be due to the fact
that some of these paid accounts
may have been left-overs from
the last part of 1858. 1928 ar
rests were made and l ,267 cases
were closed. There were 1908
arrests made by tn e police de
partment.
The city's usually low fire in
cidents also took a jump in jan
uary, February and March, 81
alarms being registered, with an
estimated fire loss of $72,160. In
addition the department made
II runs other than for fire. In
between all this business of an
swering alarms and getting the
equipment in readiness for the
next run, members of the depart
ment made 592 inspections dur
ing the quarter.
