Men U.Stdiw 7-4- S-LVdJ ZJTt c Dermatologist Says Acne May Be Result of Two Stresses Joining Br DELOS SMITH United Press Science Editor New York (U.R) Medical sci ence may be close to a complete understanding of acne, the dis figuring, dispiriting afflicition of adolescents. Fitting together the newest discoveries and the newest scien tific thought. Dr. Herbert Law rence, a well-known authority. suggested that acne resulted from two stresses coming togeth er. These stresses are (1) the awakening glandular system which is the prime physical fac tor In converting children func tionally into adults and (2) the psychological stresses which Jtear down upon adolescents from without and are the in evitgble and unavoidable ac sPmjiWiimtnts of the business of tigturini physically and emo- fcaiill?. It. Lawrence gav his views at a Mfional meeting of school hafeltl workers. He emphasized thft he is not giving the ".hoi answer" to acne, which has puzzled medical science both as to causes and cures, but that his partial answers both suRKest ed the whole and were backed by scientific experimentation and observation. How It Works In brief, the double distressing causes of acne seem to work this way, according to Dr. Lawrence. With tlje full awakening of the 4 CLUB NEWS Busy Bees Sewing Club The meeting was called to order by President Linda Walker Mrs. Jones appointed chairman to arrange things for the mothers tea next month. The tea will be April 5. The Mothers will be able to see all the things we have made and how much we have learned about sewing. Everybody is to help in some way to plan the tea. The meet ing was adjourned and our next meeting was set for April 5. Peggy Dye Reporter sexual components of the endo crine glandular system, there is a ereat increase in the activity of the oil glands of the skin. m tn-1 same time, the psycholog ical stresses are rushing the system from the outside. He revealed that psychological tests of adolescents have shown that over-production of the oil glands can be brought about by merely applying psychological Elkhart Teachers Charged With Staging Parlies Elkhart, Ind. (U.R) A group of Elkhart university students today came to the defense of three faculty members charged with staging drinking parties for coeds who wanted to "benefit their scholastic efforts." Police said seven teen-aged coeds signed statements saying they went on drinking parties with the teachers. They said one of the teachers would comfort them with "fatherly kisses" when they got sick from drink ing. Teachers Free on Bond The teachers were free on $300 bond. Authorities said they would be arraigned Monday on charges of furnishing liquor to minors. They face maximum penalties of $500 fines and six months in jail if convicted. The teachers were identified as Hugh A. Woosley, 40, head of medical courses at the univer sity; and Frank Schultz-, 28, and Robert Zimmerman, 32, labora tory instructors. In their statements, ihe girls told of emptying more than 100 cans of beer afone of the drink ing parties. Police said one of the girls also charged the instructors with supplying mixed drinks at the party. On "occasions" when some of the girls got sick from too much liquor, Woosley tried to soothe them 'With "fatherly kisses," the statements said.

Tests have shown time and time again that Sim plot TRIPLE will return from $4 to $13 for every dollar invested in the fertilizer, depending on previous soil history.

When these verbal stresses are removed, the production sub sides, and so. Dr. Lawrence rea soned, it would seem that "dur ing periods of quiescence the oil is stagnant in the follicle, hard ens, and forms a plug." Then another period of stress comes along, the plug prevents the secretion from reaching the surface of the skin and produces an irritating impaction or for eign body in the follicle of its opening. This in turn sets up the whole inflammatory process "which is characteristic of acne." Dr. Lawrence is a San Fran cisco dermatologist. In response to questions, he stated emphatic ally that acne was not an al lergy. This had point, since often chocolate and other sweets are blamed. He did not forbid sweets to his acne patients, he said, but he did insist upon a well-balanc ed diet for reasons of general health. The treatment of acne was "trying to counter-act the ef fects of the oil-gland activity," which, he granted was not so easy to do." He recommended "good skin hygiene," that is, frequent wash ings with plain soap and water for which he had only the kindest words. "The cosmetic Industry has made a tremendous play at try ing to convince the public that the trouble with their skin, par ticularly the female skin, is that it is too dry and therefore it follows they should anoint them selves in a sacramental fashion every night otherwise they will be dried up prunes in a very short time," and that isn't so, he said. The acne, victims pick up that idea and do themselves harm with more oil for already oily skins, he added. Monkeys Show No III Effects in High Ride Madison, Wis. (U.R) Two monkeys reached an altitude of 90,000 feet recently in a 62-hour balloon ride as part of an ex periment to learn about the effects of cosmic rays. The University of Wisconsin scientist said the ride left no visible effects on the animals. In fact, tests showed that their behavior and learning abilities were as good, if not better, than those of two monkeys that stay ed behind. The scientists are now study ing the effects of brain injuries by implanting radioactive co balt seeds in the monkeys. The seeds seem to cause a total loss of memory, apparently because they send off meaningless brain waves that disturb the rest of the brain tissue, the scientists reported. Besides monkeys, the research ers are using mice and tiny fruit flies to study the effects of radiation. Parents Blamed for Antics of Teen-Agers Paw Paw, Mich. (U.R) Pro bate Judge William P. Wright urges parents of teen-agers to "keep a firm hand on their car keys and their children." Wright said most of the chil dren appearing before him are not criminals, but "wayward through the acts or omissions of their parents. "The lack of mature judgment is no greater now than it was in the horse and buggy days," he said. "But unlike the horse, which often showed more sense than its driver, the gas buggy can keep on going until stopped by the law or a ditch." Communist China Releases Priest After Six Years Hong Kong (U.R) Commun ist China released an American Catholic priest, the Rev. Ful grace Gross, of Omaha, Neb., from prison today six years after his arrest. Reached by long-distance tele phone from Hong Kong to Shang hai, Father Gross told the United Press he expected to get out of the country "within one or two weeks." "I intend to get in touch with the British consulate about when and how I am going to leave China," he said. Second Released He was the second imprison ed American to be released by Chinese Reds this year. Eight other Americans still are behind bars in Communist China. Gross, 53, said he is in good health. He was arrested in Tsingtao March 29, 1951, and later trans ferred to Shanghai prison. First in China Gross first went to China in 1932, two years after being or dained a priest. He returned to China from a trip home in 1951 and shortly afterward was. ar rested along with Bishop Am brose Pringer who was released last August. Of the eight remaining Amer ican prisoners in Red China jails, five, are Catholic priests and four are civilians. Two of the priests, Jesuits John A. Houle of Glendale, Calif., and Charles McCarthy of San Fran cisco, are scheduled to be re leased June 15 when their prison terms end. Man Makes Career Of Creating Voices For Commercials New York U.R Allen Swift has made a career out of putting spots before our eyes and ears. Swift does the voices for those short "spot" , radio and TV com mercials. Among the 400 "voices" he has created during the past four yea's are those of a coffee pot, spark plug, piston, kitchen sink, pencil, bottle arid flashlight battery. Swift is able to give compet ing brands of the same product different voices. At present, for example, he does three different cigarettes, five different gaso lines and a couple of competing candy bars. The 33-year-old actor got his start on the "Howdy Doody" TV show, doing voices for most of the puppets. Ad agency execu tives used to call up and ask fop "Mr. Bluster's v o i c e," or "Howdy Doody's voice," and Swift would answer each call. After a while, they began call ing directly for Swift. He feels there is no danger of running out of voices. The sup ply is endless because each one is a mixture of age, geography, personality, background and tex ture. Swift said the hardest voice to imitate is the one closest to "normal" becaue it has no color, nothing to make it stand out." Recently, Swift made "spot" commercial history by giving a rhinoceros a high, squeaky voice. "That," he said with pride, "was for shock effect. Most peo ple expect a rhino to talk with a deep voice. They don't expect a squeaky sound. When they hear it, they pay more attention." Swift enjoys throwing adver tising executives into a dither with what he calls his "straight forward, professional approach." When asked to create a voice for a pencil, for example. Swift will say, "What color?" This leads to some hurried confer ences and the answer comes back: "A yellow pencil." Swift asks, "Mechanical?" There's another conference. "Actually," Swift said, "one pencil sounds like another." JUSTICE PREVAILED Burbank. Calif. (U.R) The court ruled in favor of Socrates and Diogenes Wednesday. Soc rates Chrisoheris was cleared of a charge of passing a stop sign and Diogenes Volkman won a judgment on an unlawful de tainer suit. nil i o.3 f One Trip j$Ajf I LOANS Jyf Borrow The American Way!

Main Mcdford Glove Compartment Bulb Time Extended Flint, Mich. U.R) Now auto motive engineers have come up with a device that simulates the action of a human hand in open ing and closing the glove com partments in cars. The idea has helped the engi neers to increase the life of the light bulb inside the compart ment by more than 50 times. Switching from six to 12-volt electrical systems in some cars caused a light-failure problem. Bulbs used in the 12-volt system have much finer filaments that were j2rred loose by repeated slamming. - By experimenting with differ ent types of bulbs and changing the location of the sockets, the engineers were able to extend the life of bulbs to more than 1,000 slams each. That's the equivalent of between two and three years for the average mo torist ' . Current taxes take about .29 cents out of each dollar spent in the United States for the pur chase of a new automobile, the industry estimates. Foreign Air Routes Discussed by Group Washington (U.R) Senate Commerce committee members said today giving the foreign air lines new routes into the United States could eventually destroy U. S. airlines or necessitate their return to full government sub sidy. Sen. George Smathers (D-Fla.) called the state department's current negotiations to give the Dutch KLM line three new routes into the United States "another give-away" problem. He echoed the feelings of several ether committee members. The committee Wednesday heard testimony from state de partment, Civil Aeronautics tion officials on the Dutch re quest. The lines would enter the United States at Houston, Los Angeles and New York. Chairman Warren G. Magnu son (D-Wash.) said his Commerce committee "does not agree with the state department's position in this matter." He fears domes tic lines will come out "on the short end" of the negotiations.
