CONCLUSIONS

In every case of commissions, either
in children or in adults, doctor is
needed at the earliest possible NOM
ent. Commissions in adults are very
serious; in babies and small children,
although serious, they are less alarm
ing, since then may follow compare
lively slight disturbances, particular
" disturbances of digestion.
Treatment for babies and children
with convulsions consists first in keep
ing the child as quiet as possible, and
next in measures to draw blood from
the brain toward the surface Of the
body. The child should first be un-
dressed, moving him as little as posi-
bic, and put to bed between warm
blankets. Cold should he applied to
his head by means Of compress or
an ice cap, and hot water bag
should be placed near his feet. An
enema should then be given.
A warm tub bath is sometimes CIV
en- to apply heat, if the convulsion has
not subsidized by the time the child is
undressed. IF the bath is given the
temperature of water should not be
above JOG degrees and should be test
ed with thermometer. If no Their
mometer is available. the water should
be tested with the elbow rather than
with the hand, as the hand can stand
greater heat than other part of the
body. If the bath Feels unconlforta-
bly, warm to the elbow. cold water
should be added There is great dam
ger Of scalding a child during the eX-
element inevitably caused by a con-
vulsion.
Although haste is needed when the
child has commissions, yet quiet IS es-
sential, since the slightest movement
has a tendency to increase the con-
vulsions or start them again. As soon
as the convulsions are over the cAild

To the Editor Of The Alexandria
Gazette. Alexandria, Va.
Dear Sir:
On March 90 there appears in your
paper communication, signed by
your illustrious fellow-citizen, Gard
ncr l.. Boothc.
am surprised to find Mr.. Boothe so
woefully ignorant of the facts in this
case. One statement is, that "Practi-
cally every one, both in Arlington
County and in Alexandria City, wish
the brick yards in the county to con-
tinue their operation
As a matter Of fact, the two sub
divisons-Nirgina Highlands and
Aurora Hills-comprise over 100 fam
lies of real State and county citizens,
many of them native Nirgnians, who,
aside from al personal interests, have
Il strong aversion to standing idly by
while few nonresidents cut the very
heart cut of this grand old State.
1t may cnlighten Mr.. Bocthe to
know that in his sweeping statement
he completely ignores the Clarendon
Citizens Association, the Arlington
County Chamber Of Commerce, and
the Hume Citizens Association, all OF
whom have gone on record as being
bitterly opposed to this unsightIy, I'M
healthy work of continuing.
Also | wish to call your patriotic
citizens attention to the fact that
long practice does not make an evil
right-though it would appear that
might" does. Becskse the people of
this county have been slow to arouse
and take any definite steps in putting
Ia stop to this disgraccful work, is no
argument in favor of its continuance.
It is but a grosser shame to any who,
knowing the situation and having any
influence, have, like Esau, sold their
birthrieht for a mess CT pottagc-or
otherwise.
! am, forsooth. filled with pity when
I picture Mr.. Boothes great heart
bleeding over these poor workmen,
whom he claims would shortly be out
Of work had he not CALAMITY gone to
their rescue and persuaded the gov
ernor to veto the bill to stop these ex-
.cavations.
We differ with Mr.. Boothe regard
ing our legislators not passing this
bill had they heard both sides. Also,
we KNOW the Governor would
never have vetoed this bill had he
heard both sides.

debt burden of $4,000, ,ooo.0 upon the

Sentiment among leaders OF business

of the business men Of the country are

Summarized in few vital points, the
outlook of the conference delegates on
the bonus raid Is as follows.
Cash payments and service ccrtifi-
Gates are not now needed BY the major
ity OF ex-service men. and the time has
passed when such benefits would help

GENOA. April 13.-The Russian dele
cation continued to hold the limelight
to-day. when Christian RakovsIsy.
President of the Soviet Of the Ukraine,
introduced in the finance commission
q panacea for the worlds finances. 1t
was contained in a document propos-
ing that the relation between the dol
lar and the pound sterling first be
fixed, and that thereafter the gold re-
serve be divided among the nations
now weakened by the lack of gold.
Further Celebrations were sugges-
tions that an international loan to
Russia was necessary to establish a
sounder currency in Russia and the
sterilization of Polish currency. He
proposed monetary ccnven ion to
bring to an end conditions which in
creased the value OF gold and de-
creased the value of paper money.
In n statement to correspondents
tonight, Rakovsky referring TO the
allied experts report. said that 1t was
a voluminous document that would
take long time to study; that it was
not submitted by any one Govern
mcnt. and that he personally did not
recognize 1t at all. Evidently. he said,
those who compiled tho report were
unaware, in suggesting judicial re-
forms in Russia. that complete
changes had been made. Whereas
two years ago every one was forbid
den TO possess moro than 10000 rubles.
now any one might possess millions.
Similarly the possession OF gold and
gems was forbidden, but was now
permitted
He said that the Cheka or police
organization had been abolished, as IL
was no more than a temporary
tribunal such as France. America and
England all had at times of national
peril. A new and excellent civil code
had been established. of which the
Bolsheviki were proud in that it abol-
ished capital punishment and sub
stituted moral reproof for the savage
sentences sometimes imposed in otf
