BRONCHIECTASIS.

Bronchiectasis is dilation of the
bronchial tubes, rot uncommon af-
fiction especially prevalent during the
past few years, when respiratory dis
eases have been so rife. The cause
is almost always some disease of the
lungs or of the bronchial tubes, o.
some affection that puts special strain
on the tubes, as for example chronic
bronchitis, broncho- pneumonia, con-
sumption, influenza, whooping cough or
the presence OF a foreign body that
has lodged somewhere in the bron-
chial tree.
The dilation may vary in share and
in size and may affect only a short
section of the tube, or it may affect
q long section. The disease is common
in children as well as in adults, and
it may even becongenital. Usually
the first sign that arouses suspicion OF
bronchial dilation in a perosn who has
influenza or who is recovering from
some respiratory disease is a notice
able increase in the amount of expec-
toration, the matter of which is first
yellow and more or less frothy and
which later has very dsagreeable
odor. The cough usually occurs in pa
roxysms. There is always an attack
in TIE morning, and often turning
over in bed may bring on the cough.
When the dilation is extensive there
is some shoriness of breath.
When the general symptoms are pres
ent they are not distinctive; they con
sist of more or less fever, sometimes
night sweats, loss of appetite and .
general failure in strength The phys
Ician finds the position and the extent
of the dilation by tapping the chest
and listening. In some cases, espe-
cIally in otherwise healthy children,
spontaneous cure may take place: but
ordinarily the best that can be expected
is amelioration of the symptoms. The
best results are obtained by inhalinp
certain balsamic oils such as eucalyptus
and camphor, combined with creosote
by giving tonics with a nutritious diet
and whenever possible by living out
doors in mild climate.

dependent investigator felt were
voiced by Charlotte Mills. Then he
sent to the field the state troopers,
who Mt once found themselves in a
difficult position, handicapped by in
ability to force cooperation with the
local authorities. Meantime countless
clews have been irretrievably lost.
The question arises after all these
weeks whether the responsibility for
the present mess lies any more at
the door of the local authorities than
at the door Of Governor Edwards.
His power to interfere is circum-
scribed by law. But results can usu-
ally be obtained when Governor
has the will and the courage to act.
Take the single episode of the bun
gled autopsy. Surely here was a
basis for any needful action by the
state Executive.
The hour may have passed in
which the Mills Hall murders could
ever have been solved. But If they
are to be solved--always barring
some stroke of luck---a strong, able
and centralized Investigation must
at once be begun. Governor Edwards
is the only man who can initiate
such an investigation.

skulker who tries to dodge his fair
share Of the labors Of citizenship.
This years election is national
and state as well as local in char
aeter. A United States Senator Is
to be chosen along with full dele
cation to the House of Representa-
tives. A full state ticket and two
houses Of the Legislature are to be
voted for. Here Is call to any one
who has the least interest in ma

city registration for the first four
days was 4o.156 below the regis

year, when only Assemblyrnen and
city officers were up for election.
Governor Miller deserves Sec

you can vote FOR him and for the
other candidates on the state and

How to Save 10000 Lives

Nobody has wasted any calculable
time or energy on the job of being
safe this week. Thanks to the cam
paign, every one has been shade
more alert and careful--just shade.
Yet if the same shade Of effort were
exerted the country over for a year
10000 lives might be saved--three-
fourths of our total Of killed In the
great war. ,.t
At least, such is the promise Of
the extraordinary record upon our
streets this week up to Columbus
Day. The holiday figures, as per-
haps was to be expected, were not
quite so encouraging. There were
eleven killed in the first four
days, as against forty-four killed for
the corresponding days last year. In
other words, the total was cut to
quarter. Now, the total killed in
accidents in America in a year from
all causes is, roughly, $4,000. The
suggestion is that this terrific figure
might conceivably be reduced to
quarter.
OF course, safety campaigns are
young yet. The problem of keeping
alive, after Safety Week is past, the
extra care then practiced is still to
be worked out. Also, it is not by any
means certain that the number of all
accidents can be as easily reduced as
have been for these days the street
accidents Of New York City. Much
has already been done to limit the
number of deaths from industrial ac-
cidents., They are, roughly speaking,
hardly more than third of the total
of all deaths from accidents. 1t is in
the pursuit Of pleasure and Of casual
activities unrelated to trades and the
use Of machinery that two-thirds Of
tho victims meet, death. - >4s..s- = - =
But the promisegis there, and at a
negligible exercise Of carecand atten-
ton. 1t is as if the Americanspeople
by the lifting of hand could have
saved most of the lives lost in the
World War. Surely here is the small
beginning Of large things. We spend
untold effort and, will to avoid war,
to limit our losses in it. Here we are
on the track of saving the entire
human cost of a war for next to no
effort.

A Common Scold

Mr.. Hylan's scolding Of the mem
bers Of the Fire Department on
Wednesday was merely another OF
the exhibitions of Ill temper which
are thoroughly characteristic OF him
He takes great credit to himself
for giving the firemen twenty-four
hours off once week and appears
to believe that they are specially ia
vored because they are treated as
other city employees and salaried
men everywhere are treated. He an
nounces with much irritation that
"many of the fire houses have less
than one call week to a fire."
This may, of course, be true. But
when a fireman does go to fire he
takes his life in his hands. He is
expected to run risks that no other
city employee save patrolman must
run, and that few men would run
for any pay.
The fact that the firemen of the
city constitute its most efficient de-
partment, that they have never
failed in their duty, and that seldom
does a great fire occur without the
death or injury of some of them, Mr..
Hylan does not appear to regard as
worth notice.
AS to his threat to take the beds
out OF the fire houses, SO that the
men may not sleep while on duty, it
Is at utterance that would hardly
be e>condoned in a peevish child.
The fact that the flremen are in
the flrehouse is a guaranty of an
instant response to a call. Sleeping
or awake, they are ready for their
jobs as soon as the apparatus can be
got under way. To deny little
rest to men who must while on duty
undergo the most severe tests of en-
durance is merely silly.
1t would appear, however, that
Mr.. Hylan must quarrel with some
body, and, lacking further opportu-
nifty to quarrel effectively with the
Transit Commission, he has pitched
on the firemen as his victims.

AS Between Friends

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Every year loans are made
amounting to millions of dollars be.
tween friends without interest, the
lender in many instances having the
satisfaction of knowing that he has
assisted in putting friend on his
feet and still has his capital intact.
AS solution Of the foreign wax
debt problem let US, as nation, show
the same spirit toward Europe that an
average American citizen would show
toward friend in bad hole.
Let us say to England, France, Bel
gium, Italy ct al: We will compute
your war debt and interest to date
and accept from you in full payment
non interest bearing bonds for the
entire amount, to be amortized by
equal annual installments over q
period of 100 years.
Any one of our debtors should be
glad to settle on this basis, for at
no time would the burden be onerous.
AS the entire debt and interest to
date may be referred to, for illustra-
tion, as s12,ooo,ooo,oOo in round
figures, we would by this method re-
ceive s12o,ooo,ooo q year for govern
nlent uses, against which, in emer-
gency, government certificates could
be issued in anticipation Of payments

Herds, Queens and MIR. Browning

During the storm and stress Of
the suffrage campaigns it was COM
mon to look upon the comparative
quiet of the women's clubs and rea-
son that because Of their lack Of
public aggressiveness they were los
ing vitality. The club movement, it
was said, had served it's day and
would die out, clubs being only a
device Of the canny feminist leaders
who could not force their sisters to
take an interest in public life di-
rectly, but would lead them to it in
directly through the easy and pleas
ant paths Of the thoroughly woman
ly women's clubs.
1t is now five years since women
won the vote in New York State,
and we have had with us this week
in convention assembled 300 or more
delegates from women's clubs
throughout the state. There is no
sign in the vigor Of their convention
proceedings that the club movement
is dying out.
The federation has one depart
ment on the Fine Arts, and
four others, on American Citi-
zenship, Applied Education, Home
Economics and Public Welfare.
The late lamented Browning

put the club as the club still persists.
This is because its true function
was not SO much school rooro for
pohtics as the means Of satisfying
fundamental instinct within all I'm
and coming human beings, that of
getting together in a crowd and
taking things over. II was another
form OF the impetus which drove
men to church and to colleges. So

Again all went we'll. The ticket was

ment with an Italian priest, who fed
US delicious grapes and talked politics

travelling second could not find seatl
AS we left the Grand Canal the early
morning was cold and drizzly and some
one suggested weakly;
"It will be a bad day. Let's go to

But the thirds prevailed, and when
we reached the mainland the sun was
rising over the island city, bathing all
in the dream colors which reality SO
frequently denies.
"It is good omen," the doubling

1t was. That compartment, up to
Innsbruck, Austria, was built for ten,

himself and US when the dust of the
lower Dolomites began to blow in upon

disadvantage of being too cheap. 1t

with our money to intrude upon the
only seclusion "the people" have-for
they leave second class, as well as but

them, the Auslander and the war prof.
teer. From Innsbruck to Munich we
