ARTIFICIAL BREATHING.

The Safety Institute of America wants
the prone pressure" system of artif-
cial breathing taught in the public
schools. 1t is the best practical method
known for reviving victims of drowning,
suffocation or electrocution, if they have
any life left in their bodies. knowledge
of it is especially desirable at this time
of year, because of the large number of
drowning cases.
The principle is simple. The victim
is placed on his stomach. with his mouth
open and free for the passage of air,
and then there is regular pressure and
withdrawal of pressure on the small Of
the victims back about as rapidly as
normal breathing.
The rescuer straddles the patients
hips, with his own knees just below the
of his hands on the small of the patients
back, with his little fingers just touch
ing the lowest ribs. With arms held
straight, he leans forward gently but
firmly, forcing the weight of his body
gradually on the patients back, and
then slowly Withdrawing his pressure
taking four or FIVE seconds for the down.
ward and upward movement combined.
This should be continued until natural
breathing begins, and resumed if the
natural breathing stops again.
Patience is required. Sometimes an
apparent miracle will occur, and life
reappear. after victim has been seem
ingly dead for half an hour or more.

STARVATION MOMENTUM.

The immediate famine in Russia is
checked, but the worst effects will begin
to show during the coming year, as a re-
suit of the starvation momentum"
which makes it difficult to check the
ravages of long continued food shortage.
This is the word of DR.. Ernest Var
row who has had charge of the Ameri-
can famine relief in the Armenian
region.
Thousands of people" said the doc
tor, 'are doomed to die of starvation
still, in spite of the abundant harvests
which now are ripening in the fields.
Famine deaths will continue at a heavy
rate for a long time to come, due to the
momentum gained by malnutrition
which is such that not even an album
dance of food can stop its ravages. Peo-
pie who have been foodless for months
cannot be saved when food becomes
abundant"
Starving in the midst of plenty is an
expression, the dreadful meaning of
which is frequently underestimated
This literally must be the fate of many
Russians. Nothing could be more pitt
full. The worst of it is that the fam
inc was unnecessary.
In the spectacle of thousands perish
ing miserably, or living more miserably
still, stunted in body and mind because
Of starvation, long after the famine has
passed, the world has a sad lesson in
the evils of undernourishment, and Rus
STA sees the fruit of her rash political
experiment.

There will be relief in the second as
well as in the first congressional dis
trict at the news that Martin Villas has
decided to withdraw from the field as "a
candidate for the Republican nomina
tion for representative in congress. Lack
of funds with which to make a cam
paign is the reason given by the Burling-
ton man, and The Reformer has no de-
sire to doubt this statement. As long
as Villas doesn't run we will believe any
thing he says.

hand at the end of the present fiscal
year, Mr.. Foote is all the more certain
he is right. But, as The Reformer has
pointed out, the Gates statement esti-
mates the receipt from this years di-
rect tax at something like S250,000 more
than they are likely to be if grand lists
throughout the state shrink as they give
indications of doing. That shrinkage
alone would Offset practically all the pre-
dicted balance, and would make it neces-
cary for Mr. Foote to cut running ex-
penses about $1,0OO,00O in order to do
away with the direct tax.

According to calculations made ut the
United States naval observatory, the
variations in weight of the same body
taken from planet to planet. would be
many and surprising. A man who
weighs 160 pounds on the good old earth
would weigh only so pounds on Mer-
curry, 1876 pounds on Venus, IS pounds
on Mars and about 400 pounds on Jupi-
ter If wishes would do it there might
be an exodus of stouts to either Mars

IN file DAYS News

Anna A. Gordon. who today enters
upon her 70th year. has been president
Of the National Woman's Christian
Temperance union since 1918. Miss
Gordon was born in Boston, went to
Mount Holyoke college, and. on gradua-
ton, threw herself with devotion into
temperance work. She came under the
influence of Frances +. Willard. then
the most renowned of the women ora
tors of the United States and an ardent
prohibitionist. and Miss Willard in turn
took n liking to Miss Gordon and hon
ored her with the post of private score
tary. Thereafter the two were COM
rades, and toured continents and seas
together. Twenty-one years this rela-
ton existed, and with Miss Wizards
death. Miss Gordon took her place.
Earlier in her career Miss Gordon spe-
cialized in preparation of temperance
literature for children and youth. but
with the coming of important admins
trative duties and labors she turned to
weightier forms of literature Among
her literary works is a biography of
Miss Willard.

A Fuss About "Fuz.
(Montpelier Argus. }

Some Montpelier housewives are find
ing fault with the farmers because they
bring their podded peas to market in
bran sacks, the fuz of which comes off
and gets in the dish when the peas are
shelled. The result is they find some of
the fuz in the cooked dish and fuzzy
peas do not make good eating. So If
farmers will stick to wooden receptacles
in which to deliver their peas in they
will please more than one Montpelier
housekeeper, and there will be less fuz
in the soup at thes dinner tabIe.

fSpringfeld Republican.l

New Workers are at a loss to classify
the duck-billed platypus, recently ac-
quired by the Bronx Zoo. 1t lays eggs
that resemble a birds eggs, has a beak
and feet like duck, yet its fur is that
of an animal and it weeps like croco-
die. The only thing in animal life that
can be compared to it is the congressman
who stocks up with liquor and votes for
prohibition measures He is the duck
billed platypus of political life, even to
the crocodile tears, when the occasion
seems to call for them.

financially during the year that ended
June 80. 1t built temporary building
that cost slightly more than $1,000 and
in addition reduced the district debt
$1,000 and closed. its books with a bal
ance of near $500 in the treasury.
That isn't just the way the committee
puts it, for what it really did was to
pay a temporary loan of $1,000 s., 900
of Oak Grove bonds, 81 900 on the Hines
property and $4,000 of the $1,000 it
borrowed for the temporary building,
but The Meddler's statement amounts to
the same thing. The district debt at
the present time amounts to SOS. 800,
the bulk of this ISL, 50O) being due on
the Hines property. Last year it was

and IN its turn welding great in

nomic reconstruction Of the world, the
problem of settling the debts can be
solved only after the most careful
consideration of all the different
elements that enter into it.
To drag it into the bonus dis
cussion is merely to invest it with
all the prejudices and passions which
are aroused by that issue. It will
hopelesslv entanple question Of
international policy with local poll
ties and will confuse it by intro
ducing elements which belong in
reality to a different problem.
Either of these reasons is suffi-
cient to condemn the proposal Of

Sound Business Sense

The insertion of clause calling
for good moral character in new
contracts with motion picture stars
indicates that Mr.. Hays is earnestly
striving to make good in his new job.
Whether the clause is Of his devisinG
or not, it is merely the product Of
sound business sense.
The motion pictures differ from
any other great American industry
in that their appeal is as much to
children as to grown men and women.
What the children are to-day the
country will be tomorrow. 1t is
contended that as long as the pic,-
ures ave clean il makes no difference
as to the characters Of those who
appear IN them. But this is dull
reasoning,
The president of . great bank was
lately forced out of office because of
unpleasant notoriety he had gained
on the outside. No man Of bad moral
character could be elected to any
important office in the country. Mo-
tion picture people known to lead dis
solute lives will never be popular
with the decent-minded, who compose
the great majority Of American
citizens.
The future Of the motion picture
industry is secure if the pictures are
kept clean and those who engage III
it behave themselves. The men who
direct it will contribute to the pub
lie welfare by hiring only persons
who know enough to keep out Of
scandals Incidentally they will save
money by avoiding contracts that
may in the future have to be kept,
although public opinion will not per

Marshal Jofre Passes Through

heChcr on a mission TO America,
or returning from ether parts, or
simply as a private citizen, Marshal
Jotfre is always welcome in New
York. He symbolizes the fighting
spirit Of France, which under his
own direction gave the Germans
their first and heaviest check in the
war. Had he failed in September,
1914. the course Of world history
would have been changed, and Amer
ica might now be paying an IN
demnity to the Germans.
The America of May, 1917. wild
with the first enthusiasm of par
ticipating in the war. and proud to
have finished the degrading ordeal
Of official neutrality in cause in
which Americans could not be and
we're not neutral, was outwardly diff
1erent from the America Of April,
1929. Those were days Of fcrvid ex-
preston. The emotional state Gre
ated by the way manifested itself in
enthusiastic outbursts of patriotism
and loyalty to the Allied cause. For
eign dignitaries travelling in the
United States were received as con-
Quering heroes.
To-day the cmotionalism Of the war
is over. Americans. while they have
not forgotten, have abandoned the
outward expression Of their war en-
thusiasms. Deeply immersed in their
own affairs, many of them are even
unaware that Marshal Joffre is once
more with us, returning to France
from a special mission to Japan.
If, then, the reception to Jofre is
less demonstrative than that of 1917.
the reason is to be found not in any
cooling toward the Marshal or to-
ward France, as his enemies fondiy
believe, but in the difference between
the America Of 1917 moved with a
spirit akin to that Of the crusadcs.
and the America of 1922, once more
stepped in her own concerns. Amer
leans to-day are less demonstrativc,
but they have not forgotten, nor can
they forget, what Joffre represented
when he came here in 1917.
