We baked this morning - sea- sonal bakinga of apple pies, apic- lng then the left-over fruit. add- ing salt and sugar. a handful of onions and an end of vinegar to make a piquant relish, for the family. and preferred dish of theirs in the harvesting season.

We gathered the fruit from the Transpai-eilt tree in our remnant of old orchard. climbed now by a generation of children who favor the select apples in the top-most boughs. ”And tell me" grand- daughter begged as we helped her off a low limb. "about when yours were little boys and liked to climb trees!"

"Perhaps I'd better talk of a little girl" we suggested, hurrying then to gather a choice fallen one before it could be appropriated by one of the prowling sows. "A little girl?" she looked up in sur- prise. eyes alight with interest. "Do you mean me - or )'0Uf5em"

SEX HOBMONES 0'1! EXTIIACTS IN TREATMENT OF ACNE

X7??? 715”

Acne (pimples) is neither pain- ful nor dangerous, and it clean up itself in the majority of cases shortly after puberty (in to 14 in girls and M to 16 in boys). How- EVEF. acne causes I great amount of embarrassment and may be the cause of an inferiority complex. It occurs just when boys and girls want to look their best.

For many years the cause of acne was unknown. although phy- sicians and skin specialists found that diet was a. factor and cutting out or cutting down on certain foods helped many cases. In rec- cnt years. since the importance of the endocrine glands (ductless glands) has been observed..and as most cases of acne in boys and girls first appear at or shortly be- fore puberty. gland change is con- sidered the most important factor.

The fact that gland change is

In Archives of Dermatology and Syphilology. Drs. Stuart C. Way (San Francisco) and George C. Andrews (New York City) report their observations on the treat- ment of acne by sex extracts. Aver- age age of the 100 patients (-girls and young woman) was 23.7 years and acne had been present about 4.6 years. Acne was on the face only in 61 per cent; on other parts of the body also in the rest.

other forms of treatment had given temporary relief in 26 per cent. Diet treatment definitely in- fluenced the disease in 45 per cent. The monthly periods were normal in 90 per cent, but in '14 per cent the acne was worse before month- lics began.

Treatment was with female sex hormone-X-cstradiol - and also male hormone - progesterone or testosterone - dissolved in propy- lene glycol. An interval of seven days between injections Was found most satisfactory. This was increas- ed to 14 days as soon as improve- ment was noted. La:k of improve- ment after six injections was fol-

An old countryman sent his young son to the village for an ounce of tobacco. giving him six- pence. He waited. Years passed- and more years. Then one day a magnificent motor-car pulled up beside his humble cottage door. and out 'stcpped a prosperous- looking man.

"Well. Dad." he boomed. "I went to America. I worked hard and I guess I'm rich now."

"Maybe," retorted the old chap curtly. "but where's my bacey?" The son produced a packet from his pocket. "Here it is Dad." he said. "but it's dearer now. You owe

"He came into Buckingham Pal- ace like a fresh sea breexe." avers one resident. "He would swing through the gates in his 140 sports car. often far too fast, and always in a hurry to ace the Prin- ceas."

Theirs was not love at first night. They had seen each other as youngsters, but did not meet consciously until 1939. when he was a cadet at Dartmouth. and the royal family paid a visit there.

A friend. referring to the Prin- cess. asked him: "Did she look sweet?" "Oh. yes." said Prince Philip.

The King and Queen seem to have approved ofrhlm from 1940 on. because that New Year's Eve be accompanied them to the then- tre. The young couple wu hiends who visited the Princess's bedroom, when she was ill. noticed a large photograph of a naval officer on her dressing tabln. when his name was mentioned to her. she would blush.

The King invited him for the opening of grouse shooting in August. 1946. It was Prince Phil- ip's first appearance at Balmoral Castle. the King's country home in Scotland. '

The gllillies. the caretakers of the forests. say that that year the Princess's eyes seemed brighter. her smile readier. more infectious.

It is not known when or where the Princess and Prince Philip actually became bethrothed. That is their secret. But it is believed that there in the highlands and moors that stretch around Bal- rnoral Castle. they decided they were in love and would marry. Many in court circles aver that it was here that Prince Philip first asked the King for his daughter's hand, and that he advised them both to wait six months.

Q. When playing bridge. is it proper for the player who has won the bid to pass his hand over for his partner's inspection before he begins playing?

A. No. this is exceedingly rude. In some cases, it would appear that you are gloating over your particular hand. and in any case it is a thoughtless delay of the game on your part.

Q. Should a girl ever send a gift to a man whom she has been "dating" and whom she especially likes?

A. Not unless she is engaged to the man, and then the only gifts necessary are at Christmas and on his birthday.

Q. should a guest smoke at the dinner table in a home. if the hostess has not provided ash trays?

A. It is better not to do so.
