Young Woman Won't Confide In Beau

DEAR MISS DIX: We would like to have you decide on issue for us. For four years I have been going with a "lady two years my junior. During the last two years she has been ,at college in an- other city and I don't see her as often as I would like. We have disagreed on one point. I contend that she should talk to me about the things she does, such as the persons she goes with, her problems. and future plans. She claims she is not accustomed to dis- cussing her activities with anyone. 1 am of the impression that a frank discussion of one's hopes and aspirations will eventually draw two people close together; she asserts this is just a subtle at- tack on her privacy. with intent to check on her

ACTH AND CORTISONE TREATMENT 1N,P0lEON OAK

While thousands of arthritis pat- ients waited for ACTH and corti- sons to be available for tiiem,.re- search workers were testing out these new "miracle" drugs on var- ious diseases, including diseases of the skin.

In the Journal of Invpstigative Dermatology. Drs. M. S. Polk. M F. Allende and J. H. Bennett re- port that inflammation of the skin due to poison oak is very common in the Oakland-Berkeley area and is often of such a severe type that it prevents patients from working. These physicians put many of these patients in hospital to-en- sure proper care.

hued with the need for privacy that they with- hold their thoughis from even close friends and relatives, even they usually break down barriers for a person who is truly beloved. Such sharing of confidcncecis indeed a sign of love. and unwillingness to impart it can almost certainly be taken as proof that love is not complete. '

IS SHE INCAPABLE?

Your lady may be conslitutioiwlly incapable of a deep love that implies mutual faith and lrusi, or again she may simply not be in love sufficiently to share crinfitlcnces. The latter is most probably true. Only you can make the final decision and only you can judge whether or not she will make you a good wife. Iwould say it's doubtful. What she fails to give now will not be forthcoming when you marry, so be prepared to face a tremendous void in your married life if you wed a woman who is not sufficiently eager to awaken your interest by giving you her confidence.

I don't suggest that she should share with you her every thought or action: most people do keep to themselves a small reserve of dreams. l-Iovi ever. you surely can hetexpcctcd to share in the future plans of the girl )ou are going with. That is one point any Couple should face together, with complete and mutual confidence.

You aren't happy in your present dilemma and I think a change is quite plainly indicated.

DEAR MISS DIX: I am 37 years old. my husband nine years older. We have six children and until recently operated a fairly successful business. Four years ago he become infatuated with a 14-year-old girl who Vl0Fl(Cfl for us. Her parents broke up that af- fair and the girl soon reali7.c(l limv right they were. Then he be- ciinio interested in another girl who responded quite nrdenily to his attentions. The children and I were soon doing most of the work in the place while he spent his time chasing the girl. Finally I sued for divorce but. due to my husband's pleading and promises of re- form, I dropped it. He is still interested in the girl who caused my divorce action. while Ihave hn"(l to assume a financial responsibility for our children two sold the business during the divorce action). Should I go ahead and site for support or let him go?

MRS. W. W.

ANSWER: You sure are married to a first-class heel. but you've

been altogether tori willing to let him get away with anything short of murder. By all means sue him for support and keep after him to make sure he pays what the court allots. Stop being a sofile. Straight- en the hncltklione anll iut out your chin. The least you should get is financial help. but the greater good of your children and yourself would be served by leaving your husband altogether. DEAR MISS DIX: I have been going steady for two years, flur- ing which I have met my friend's parents about five times. Their hirtlidays are approaching and I would like to know if it is in good taste to send cards to them?

A. R.

ANSWER: Greeting cards are always in gracious gesture and it would be very thoiightful of you to send them.

Q. Is it proper for one who is in mourning to send out Christmas cards?

A. This depends entirely uponl one's own feelings. Naturally one would not send cards to mere ac- quaintances, but certainly there is no impropriety in wishing friends happinms.”

Q. is it necessary to give a din- ner. or any other form of enter- tainment, for the purpose of an- nouncing an engagement?

A. This is popularly done, but it is not absolutely necessary. The news of an eigagement can very 'well be conveyed by a newspaper announcement, or just by word of mouth.

Q. What is a good fruit course

Maid: "I didn't, sir. she asked me what time it was. and I told her I was too busy getting break- fast to notice."

pain-killing drugs and antihista- minics (for allergy).

Since July, 19512 patients with poison oak have been treated with ACTH or cortisone if there were no contra-indications present such as peptic ulcer, diabetes or tuber- culosis. The dosage schedules used were as follows: ACTH was given in doses of 25 mg. every six hours the first day. 20 mg. every six hours the second day. and I5.mg. every six hours the third day. Cortisoiic was given in doses of 200 mg. the first day, 159 mg. the second day. and 100 mg. the third day.

In 10 patients, selected at ran- dom. placed in hospital prior to the use of ACTH and cortisone, the average period spent in hospital was 6.6 days and the average time of disability was ll.4 days. In 9 patients treated with ACTH and cortisone, the average period spent in hospital was 3.3 days (half the time) and the disability was ii shorter time.

Eight of the nine patients were relieved of the severe pruritis (itching) within 12 to 36 hours and the swelling and weeping disap- peared overnight. All but one of the patients were discharged after three days of the miracle drug treatment with instructions to con- unite the treatment at home. The one failure may have been due to insufficientldosage of ACTH. Drs. Falk, Allende and Beiincli feel that ACTH or cortisone ls tlit treatment of choice in severe acute contact inflammation of the skin when there is no contra-indication to their use.

The fact that these miracle drugs can shorten the duration of skin ailments and decreases the sever- ity of the symptoms gives us an idea of their all around value in the treatment of various illnesses. We are likely to hear more of theii help in the days to come.

A. Dorilt just sprinkle the mus- tard loosely into the water when preparing a foot bath for a patient. It will not dissolve quickly and may adhere to the skin and blister it. First mix the mustard to a paste.
