Dear sparko: Glad you like good old Miami, and the Bastern Palestine Indians, nit. I want to write you immediately about the papillomas. I have always called them little seed warts, but that name does not dignify 1%-for the fellow that charges you $2 to $5 for working on your pedal extremities. The cause of these things is either a small as or some foreign sub- stance in the shoe that irritates the auticle to such an extent that it starts a wart. This is the treatment. Do not use a safety rasor blade or do not out the cuticle around the wart. Leave it intact. Take the sharp end of a knife and gently pick the partioles out until it becomes fairly tender, with no bleeding, and not too much tenderization. Now take a bit of vaseline on a match and cover the skin surface untirely around the wart. Then apply either carbolic acid or nitric acid on the end of a match to the surface. Do not leave any excess of the acid on the point applied. After you have let 4t rest 20 or 50 mimites with this application of either carbolic acid or nitric acid, take a little bit of unguentine, or just as well some more of that vaseline, just enough to sover the surface well and not leave the area tender. It will soften the tissues sufficiently to lessen any uncomfortable sensation you might have from the ar You should have none. ! Let this go two or three days, then take the adhesive tape off and wash the foot with soap and then apply again the same treatment. After the second application, wash the foot again and leave the adhesive tape off, if you desire, for a couple of days. Now take the sharp knife and pick again any excess accumulation. The little metastic filaments that project themselves from the wart are the things that you want to kill by this application. Do not cut the skin away at all. Leave that as a cushion and you will have a little oup there. With two more fac Agaongeioys.n you should be rid of your warts. You know Nitric acid is strong, and so is carbolic acid, so the right proced- ure is to just touch up the point of the wart and leave no excess. i { Sperko, it was good to see you, and I will finish this letter with work = on the Rebounds, which I am doing immediately after this epistle to you. om oe We will certainly be glad to see you back, old fellow, - when and if. © Sincerely yours, e - Director of Physical Education, Varsity Basketball Coache ?

Bob and Jean were dowmm yesterday, end Bob used itvand he pronounced it perfectly wonderful. Then this morning, for the first tine after returning from Columbia, I tried it out and I found the Gillette blue-blade that I had used a tamber of times sven better “than when i Stthe fired Sime Goo gor ine we ees og pre oe en ° Ry ahs @ pleasant and smooth shave eash morning. My diffioulty has been heretofore that the second time I used a Gillette blue blade it was satisfactory, but after that some of the blades were no good while others I would continue to use for weeks, Mow you have done exactly the thing that assures mo a pleas- aut shave each morning, and I very greatly appreciate it. We did appreciate your and Jessie's visit immensely and I thought that we were able to visit with a full relexation that comes only when people have a good time. ; Now, I want to write you and Jessie in eonfiderioe about the misunder~ standing that cane up about the insurance on Bobbys There is a background to it, which, unless you are able to understand the situation, you will never appreciate the mental reaction of Mrs. Allen. During her girlhood on the. farm her father often took out many insurance policies but let everyone of them lapse. He grew very bitter with each policy he dropped - bitter against the insurance companies, saying they robbers, rather than secepting his poor business acumen in dropping them. Se, as she grew up, she learned to mistrust insurance companies, not having dealt with them personally. ees I have always firmly believed in insurance. When our family was young my health was not of the best because I was ruming about four or five jobs constantly, trying to get enough money ahead to support the family. I had no heavy bank ascount, and with the birth of each child I took out an addi- tional five or ten thousand dollar insurance policy. There was constant disagreement on this policy. Mrs. Alien maintained that always we could bank our money and provide our own insurance, but it is the same old story - if you live it is fine. Some wives never believe in insurance, but all widows do. ; \ : And then we had a very unfortunate experience with the Missouri State Life. I had a five thousand dollar policy, twenty-year endowment. Just a year before it mtured Emmett O'Malley, the Pendergast robber lieutenant, was insurance commissioner and the Missouri State Life slapped a lien on our policy. George Niettels, my old football captain in 1920, also had a policy, but he had borrowed on his policy and they did nothing with his. - But ours was clear. All difidends earned had been turned back by me to the company without drawing them out, and there was a good clear five thousand dollar policy due the next year, We lost $1952.00. ‘They really reached inte the till and stele that amount from us on this Missouri insurance company steal. Not only that, but we were forced to pay six per cent interest for three years on that lien. And the worst part of it was they _ terminated the policy and did not give us any'of the earnings of the company even in the future years to try to pay back the steal. You doubtless remen- ber the situation. | . ‘ That embittered Mrs. Allen further, and she has no use at all for in- surance companies. What you did for Bob and Jean you did as the Robert B. Allen fanily and I thought it was grand. But Mrs. Allen has worried tremendously about Bob. She thinks that he does not look well and with every physical strain on him her worry increases. At the Kansas State and Missouri game in Kansas City, Bob and Jean came over to the game. Mrs. Allen did not go with me, staying in Lawrense, While we were eating together after the game at the Muehlebach Coffee Shop Jean said, "Dr. Allen, look at Bob’s fingernails." I looked at them and apparently some acid stain had turned them dark. I asked if there wes some acid stain, but they thought not. They were cyanodic and blue, and that to me meant he had no oxygen in his system, or else there was an ulcer, or a hemorrhage of some sort. I was terribly worried when I came home, although I kept my fears within bounds. Irs. Allen said, "Did you give Bob my love", and I said, "Yes, I did.” Then she asked about his health, and trying to be honest — with her, I said, "Frankly, I will tell you I think Bob does not look well. at all." Then I told about the fingernails, and immediately she went up in the air. She made a trip dow there to the apartment and wanted Bob to see Dr. Major. She had consulted me before going and I agreed I thought if Bob would get Dr. Major, the internal medicine man at the hospitel, to look him over it would be a good thing. Bub Bob rather didn't like to see Dr. Major, thinking it might embarrass him, and he passed it up. It turned out it was not a real illness, and Jean's fears were un- warrented, although when she mentioned it to me Bob did not way it was a stain, so you can see how little things like that cet started and multiply.. es ¢. Back in 1925 we lost Porrest, jr., and since that time Mrs. Allen has never been the same. She put her whole life in her children and it was her philosophy when he went so early that he had been cheated in his right to live as a young man. Whether that is the right or wrong philosophy to have, ‘she hed it and still has it. She ag a mother has put everything into Bob. and he has been the nearest ideal to her of any of the children. I+ is- very diffioult for her to divorce her deep affeotion for-Bob. She just can't do it even though Jean has first olaim and should have, and Mrs. Allen is earnestly striving to maintain that attitude and position. At the same time, she is very fearful of Bob's health, and with all ‘the background of her worrows it looked to her as if you were taking ingur- -azige out/on Bob*s life ~ rather a gamble on his gying, instead of his living. i told Mrs.’ Ailen that it wes merely a gift to Jean and Bob, that you were figuring on him living and she was figuring on him dying. Just two view- points. — , t wh ask you to acoept it in the best grace possible because Mrs. _ Allen would not hurt Jean and Bob in any degree, but she just couldn't get over this hazardous quirk of mind. : £ would not have mentioned this had I not considered that it was para- mount to both of our interests, in both familics, to be bigger than anything that happens on the outside at times, and remember that lis. Allen is a very intelligent woman but in this case the background of experiences has one bittered her and she could not help feeling the way she presented the matter, -vather than the way I think it really is. 7 4ith all good wishes to you and Jessie, and assuring you of my under~. standing and devotion to both Bob and Jean, as well as my sincere friendship for Jean's parents, I am . ‘Vy Shasaey: yiltells , Director of Physical Education, POAtAl | Varsity Basketball Coach, — f January 15, 1945.

Wasn't it Herman Rosenwald, the Sears Roebuck official, who said, "No man is intelligent enough to make a will that will endure more than two generations." Sometimes we desire to protest our own to the point of wishing for them every happiness, but we are never able to do it. I have always made this point with my children ~ [ tell thom that if they want anything they may ask me and I will do everything I can, but I will never suggest or offer things for them feeling that that independency of action that they so treasure should not be encroached upon by their dad.

ARK TWAIN AND CHARLES DICKENS, perhaps more than anyone else in their writings, showed a deep understanding of the ways of boys. They were able, by their genius, to express graphically, those fundamental truths of character, ideals and ambitions of boys that we all know of, readily recognize, but find it so difficult to express. The success of the Boys’ Athletic League is a peculiar testimony to this; for, from the smallest beginnings, this organization has grown to such an extent that we now care for some 3,000 boys, and the number is appreciably increasing year by year. All this, because of the need, and the financial help we have been able to secure from philanthropically-minded people . . . people who have an abiding faith and belief in boys. . . . People who undoubtedly believe that in boys is con- tained all the essentials for the preservation of our good way of life, providing always that those essentials are rightly nurtured. We say “rightly” advisedly, for we cannot be insensible to the exploitation of boys, as prac- tised by those unparalleled criminals, Hitler, Mussolini and Hirohito, who, knowing all the nobleness of character in boys, used it to further their own diabolical ambitions. As a sculptor models in clay, so just as pliable is the character of boys, and the unscrupulous, if they so deign, can mold it into any shape, however foul. We in America prefer otherwise. We—rightly— according to divine teachings—give our boys implements of peaceful implica- tion . . . they give them weapons of war. We want to send our boys to camp, there to enjoy all those things dear to a normal boy’s heart... . to swim... to boat . . . to play baseball . . . to enjoy all the bounteous gifts of nature—the birds, the trees, the flowers . . . rather than to send them to military camps, there to learn to kill and plunder, to be tough, soulless and merciless. They called us “‘decadent,’’ but, out of that so-called ““decadence’’ there has gone to war to preserve that “decadence,” the finest group of boys the world has ever known .. . eleven million of them. . . the life’s blood of this matchless nation. This League takes pride in its own boys who are out there fighting side by side with boys who had a far better Frontispiece Courtesy of Read Magazine start in life and who fight shoulder to shoulder, knowing no distinction and not wishing it otherwise . . . each wearing the same uniform . . . each offering the same sacrifices . . . each fighting and believing in the same ideals and each dying for them. It is for boys, such as these were once, that we ask your help now, to enable us to show them that America is worth fighting for. We want to take them off the streets, away from their vicious environment, and send them to one of our camps . . . camps that bear favorable comparison with any in this land. For there they will eat wholesome, well-cooked food, served to them at regular hours, in an environment of refinement and cleanliness; there they will bathe in a clean, cool lake, and enjoy every indoor and outdoor activity, under the guidance of coun- sellors who know of their shortcomings and influence them to an understanding of the possibilities of a better future; there they will practise their spiritual beliefs with a better understanding, and so learn to have clean minds and clean bodies. They will lead orderly lives, with every comfort, unknown to them. As a consequence, they return to their homes determined to overcome those handicaps that are the accident of their birth. In asking you to contribi te to a boy’s better future we ask you also to bear in mind how much boys mean to the future of our country, and how much our country must mean to our boys, and so to believe, that, given the opportunity, boys of lowly birth who suffer every hardship will rise above it. To send a boy to camp costs $20.00 for two weeks, or $10.00 for one week. Will you invest in the future of America, and, above all, will you give a poor boy a chance for a little happiness now and a chance to become a worthwhile citizen of America ? ) 7) a TOL) O77 hale Coe te: LUE 22a hd Ce Vt” J Mfr 4 YY Oe.
