NATIONAL A I I REPRESENTATIVES SCHEERER CO. 35 E. Wacker Drive. Chicago; 441 Lexington Avenue, New Yorl' I A Strikes have become so widespread in this country that the public tends to rise in revolt.

Many signs point to public Impatience. A wage policy designed to allay is piomsied by President a as a result of cabinet meetings on the biibject. The Department of Labor luges repeal of sections of the Smith-Connally Anti-Strike law permitting 30- day strike notices and government supervision of strikes, claiming these provisions tend to Incite strikes. Simultaneously, a movement involving both Republicans and Democrats is a in Congress, to overhaul laws so a both employers and i will be responsible for keeping agreements and i peace. Such legislation is a i particularly at work-stoppages in public utilities.

The recently settled soft coal strike that lost 30,000,000 tons of coal from the nation's bins Is a case in point, as is the milk pio- ducers 1 proposed stuke in the New York area a i a 7,000,000 consumers.

These glands aid in combating infections. Theie is, however, a more or less harmless or benign condition known as infectious mononucleosis which also affects the lymph glands in the body. This disease is also called glandular fever. It is a disorder which comes on suddenly, producing many symptoms such as fever, sore throat, en- laigement of the lymph glands, tho spleen and the liver, and an increase in the number of white cells in tho blood known as lymphocytes. Cause Unknown The exact cause of this condition is not known.

However, there arcs some who suspect that it may be duo to ar. infection with such germs as the streptococcus, staphylococcus or perhaps a virus, that is, an organism so small that it will pass through the openings in n. porcelain filter. The disease may occur at any time of life, but most of those affected are cither children or young adults. Mcr seem to have the condition more often than women.

The disease seems to be more prevalent in the springtime. Several Types Several types of infectious mononucleosis have been dcscubed. In one type, the lymph gland enlargement is the most noticeable symptom. In the second type, sore throat and fever arc outstanding. In tha third typo there is fever, headache, a faehng of sickness and a skin rnsh.

The disoider may bo mild or severe. Sometimes it may persist for weeks or months. In some instances, there may be stiff neck, diarihea, pains in the joints, nosebleed, itching of the skin and earache. In two out of three patients, enlargement of the spleen can be detected. Paul-Bunnell Test There is a test known as the Paul-Bunnell reaction, which may be carried out to aid in making a diagnosis.

The test is made jy mixing the blood cells from sheep with the blood serum from patients suspected of having infectious mononucleosis. If the disease as present, the blood serum will cause the red cells to form into clumps. Up to the present time no particular type of treatment for infectious mononucleosis has been discovered which Will speed recovery. On the other hand, the disease is larely, if ever, a dangerous one, but knowledge of it is important because of the likelihood of confusing it with other more serious conditions. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS E.

Is it all right to get a permanent wave in the eighth month of pregnancy 1 Would it harm the baby Answer: There is apparently no reason why a permanent wave should not be given at the eighth month of pregnancy. It certainly would not aftect the baby in any way. B. I have had my eyes examined and was told that I have spots on the lens of my eyes. What can be done for this condition Answer: It is possible that you have what is known as congenital cataracts, and that some operative treatment will be needed to remove the difficulty.

A physician should be consulted concerning the advisability of such an operaLon. food, clothing and shelter.

"Police Ban on Tiick 01 Treats" is the headline.

Tne subject matter co.iceins the practice of tiicks or treats as a Hallowe'en activity. Chief of Police Chailes Woodiow is quoted, in pa-1, as follows: "It is a nuisance to home owners and I know of TO other city that puts up i such foolishness" The chiel goes on to say that this form of Hallowe'en diversion has degenerated into a lacket In response to the flist part of Chief Wooclrow's statement What form of Hallowe'en fun (with the exception of part es) is not a nuisance to home owners, renters, hotel guests or bums in the park for that a i Hal owe'eji nuisance? Yes, but a nuisance that is inevitable and a spirit impossible to quench in the youngsters this nation As far as no other city tolei at- ing "tricks 01 treats," I would like to say that I lesided in the city of Grand Rapids for five years and or treats was practically the only toim of Hallowe'en public a i Especially among the very yourg child en. The w.iter Las lived in the large Detroit suburb of Dearbom for the past three years, ard this All Saints day activity not only was tolerated but was encouraged by the pol.ce as the one form of fun for which dren would not 'be punished. This has not only been true in Dear- but of eveiy c.ly, Including Detroit, in the Metropolitan area. As for "Tricks or Treats" degenerating into a racket in Traverse City, I can only say that it is a shame Not having lived in Traverse City for the past ten years, I can have no knowledge' of" this angle but do not doubt for a moment the accuracy of the Chief's statement.

CHAPTER TWO COMFORTABLE In her deep desk chair, Sandra recalled that conference with Wakeman and Benet as il 'it were only yesterday, Not that It could correctly be called a conference, as the men did the talking, treating her as if she were a dummy. Bob Wakemar.

pushed a paper with figures on it to his partner. "Here's my plan. Start her with $5,000 and add to it each year for 10 years, providing her ideas continue to be saleable. If not, we terminate the contract at the end of the first year." "But why buy more than the one model?" protested Benet "Buy it "and sell it to Elaine Dubois and to as many others who want it--or perhaps to Dubois exclusively, if she cares to pay enough. But why contract this nobody when we already have three designers?" He grunted.

"All fighting!" "They are fighting because their work is inferior and they know it," Wakeman said. "New blood is necessary in everything from a royal family to a business. And here is new blood." Benet grunted again, unenthusiastically, "How do you know she's any good just because a screwball actress likes one dress?" For the first time he really looked at the girl. "Have you ever made more than one dress?" "Certainly. Lots of them." Suddenly the girl stood "I'm not sure I want to seli this model after all.

Just give Miss Dubois something else and let me alone." Sandra Edwards was not aware that she was using strategy, ancient but still useful in obtaining one's own way. She simply knew, that she was confused and scared and wanted to get away from the two men. "Oh, sit down!" thundered Benet with exasperation, then shuddered. "Another blasted loco designer." Sandra kept standing. "I'm not sure I want to work for $5,000 the first year." you hear that?" Benet demanded of young Wakeman.

"With my own ears I heard her ask for more money. She hasn't even started yet and she wants more money." While they "all waited, motionless, speechless, the silence had become so intense that Sandra was afraid they would hear her knees knocking together. Suddenly the rtd-halred designer wu aware otT a iwnilar prtttmt-mo- ment silence. Capltola had stopped 1 her swift, proficient typing a was staling across her machine. "I don't know what you were thinking about, but you were acting it out all over the place.

You looked happy." "I should have been looking scared I waa remembering how I gave Mr. Benet the silent treatment and got $7,500 for my first year, double that for tho second, and a percentage of every Sandra dress sold." "Even so they were lucky. You've turned out some nifltles. You've brought the young women to Wakeman-Bcnet'a and the clientele used to be strictly on the hippy order." Capltola came over with few orders and letters. The red-haired girl picked up her pen and watched it quiver in the air.

She put It back into the Ink well, "I can't sign my own name. I'll have to do It tomorrow, Capl- tola." Her hand had shaken that same way the day she signed her con- tiact, but she had kept writing, doggedly, until her signature, though fuzzy and undecipherable, was there in possession of that financial miracle. That moment seemed the end of all worry. A misconception, Sandra learned right then for, with the ink still damp, Bob Wakeman ordered: "Get downstairs for some material. Get someone to help you.

Get Dubois' dress going." "Yes," Benet added. "And for heaven's sake, don't be late with it" Somehow, when Sandra tried to get a seamstress to help her, they all were busy. Oh, so busy. For the other three designers. The grapevine had worked swiftly, tossing the three firmly entrenched designers into a frenzy of pretended rush- work.

Sandra realized, when she went to the yard goods department for gray wool, how much jealousy and intrigue she would have to fight. For there was no gray wool. The bolt that had been so thick a. few days earlier was not even there, "It can't be gone!" she had cried in despair she didn't bother to conceal. "There was so much." "It isn't gone," the clerk said.

"Anatole is using it. All of it." Sandra Edwards did not sleep very well that night. At five in the morning she was out of bed. By 5:30 she was ripping apart her own gray wool dress. Six-thirty found her cutting away the path tattled of snipped stitches.

At seven she was pressing each section with a steam iron. At was standing beneath an icy shower. At nine, after a bromo-seltzer and three cups of black coffee she was at the store. At 9:30 she was fitting Elaine Dubois who, contrary to most picture stars, was a disgusting 30 minutes early. Following the fitting, Elaine Dubois covered her with and shouted in and denunciations.

"She is a marvel. One fitting and it is perfect. Those others. fogies! This dress can be air-mailed to me. I am happy.

Those awful old fogies. This wonderful girl. Get rid of them, Mr. Wakeman." And lipstick smears on Sandra's checks. Sandra Edwards was acclaimed.

But her success did not bring the end' to worry she had hoped for. It brought toil and worry and nerves. No time for a personal life. Or, that is, no time to.meet any one who could form her personal life. Then she had heard about Spenser.

And now ho was coming. Today, The girl looked at her watch. "What time Is it, electric desk clock says 12:30," her secretary said In a dry voice. "I imagine it is right." "Seems It should be later." Sandra felt that merely thinking through seven years of her life should take longer than 30 minutes. "Why don't you simmer down?" Capitola suggested.

Her manner was gruff with the gruffncss that comforts. Sandra did not reply. She got up and went to a will mirror. She put the silly little hat atop her upswept red hair, then regarded, solemnly, her pale unblemished shin, her large brown-gold eyes and lips, vivid with lip-rouge that held just enough orange to look well with her ocelpt-trimmed tan suit. Suddenly she turned to the girl back of the typewriter.

"Do I look all right?" "In a Sandra suit? you crazy?" The secretary snorted. "Even a homely girl looks wonderful in a Sandra suit and you're not homely, doll baby. You're lovely. And you know it. So shut up!" "Oh, I know I'm chic.

Up to the minute and all that." Sandra frowned. "I know how I look to the people on the boulevard. What worries me Is how I'll look to Spenser. I want to be just right In his eyes." The typist mumbled a bit to herself. "Well, you might use less of that orangified lipstick.

You'll want to kiss him, naturally." Sandra Edwards' face was not pale. It was rosy. "Yes. I'll want to. But I may not, Capitola.

It will depend on how he acts." "I don't see how you "can keep from going to the train." "They don't do it that way. He foes to Mrs. Fennimore's. Then she telephones me and I meet him there. That's the way it is done." "Too think meetings are so much more exciting at the tram.

clanging and people rushing ill about and that old smoky smell makes you know you're going somewhere-- I like all of that" She sighed. "But I guess you have to do it like Mrs. Fennimore says," "Certainly. Besides, what good would it do if I could go to the You seem to forget, Capitola, that I don't know Spenser when I i.
