Colds and Crowds
BY ii. Arlington Bruce.

By this time everybody knows-or
ought to know, for the fact has long
been reiterated by health writers-that
there frequently is a direct connection
between being in crowd and catching
cold. As the matter is usually stated:
ANY one who is for any reason be-
low par physically increases his liability
TO catch cold if he goes into crowds.
For when person is below par physicil-
ly his resiStivity to cold-cauSing germs
is temporarily lowered, and the larger
the number of people with whom he
comes closely into contact the greater
the likelihood of his becoming infected
with such germs
This. of course because, especially
during the winter. there is pretty sure
to be in every crowd n number of peo-
pie alrcady afflicted with colds, hence
capable of transmitting their colds to
others. The danger to these others, who
constitute the majority in every crowd.
would obviously be greatly lessened
if only it were customary for persons
already having colds to avoid SO far as
possible being in crowds themselves.
And this. | would insist Cmphaticallv.
IS what ought TO be customary. Indeed.
it ought to be obligatory. For colds
are far from being always trifIing
maladies. and the cOld-stricken have no
right necdlesslv to imperiI the health
Of their fellow-beings. as they do every
time they visit crowded places.
There are circumstances under which
ncople with colds cannot we'll avoid no.
Ing in crowds. But certainly. while
their colds are on them. they can stav
away from such places of public resort
as churches. schools, moving picture
establishments.
! know of Mt least one organization
in a large city which this winter has
nrintcd on the beck Of its membership
tickets IN appeal to the members not
to attend any Of the organizations
meetings if suffering from colds. The
precedent thus set should be followed
by organizations of I'll sorts.
And il appeals for voluntary Austen
ton in the interest OF commute health
are unhcrdPd. abstPntiOn should be en-
forced nv legal action.
As already noted. colds are not al
ways trifling maladioS. They may. and
often do. servo MS fornrunnPrs Of
pneumonia. influCrzH and other r"s-
piratory diseases Of dire fatality. No
surpr way Of lowering tn" mortality

venting the cold-burdened from mingling

with crowds il places of instruction and
amusement.
The effect, moreover, would be bene-
fetal to the cold-burdened themselves
as well as protective of those who might
catch cold from them.
1t is well established that quiet, rest,
good ventilation promote recovery from
colds. whereas Oyer-exertion and under
ventilation tend to make them worse.
Countless are the cases in which colds
have developed into long and serious
illnesses, often ending in death. simply
because their victims would not deny
themselves some projected pleasure tnat
involved the fatigue of being for hours
in crowded, under-ventilated room.
Self-ipterest, that, no less than n de-
cent regard for the welfare of other
people, should dictate keeping out of
crowds when one has n cold. so for
as circumstances permit one to keep out
of crowds. Were this course followed
as it should be by all. we should hear
comparatively little of the winter cpl
denies that now ravage the nation.

paternalism, government ownership. and
the like-"lies the fatuous belief that a
ready solution can be found for any So
cial or economic evil by invoking the
agencies OF the government. This idea
accounts for a large part OF the flood OF
laws that come to crowd. our statute
books and clog our courts"
Too many people assume-if they think
at all-that the government has some
magical power to do anything better
than it can be done by individuals 9th
'crS seem to believe that the individual
exists for the benefit OF the government,
rather than the government for the benefit
OF the indiyidual-and ii the belief con-
tinucs long enough the theory will be-
come an actual fact.
Mr.. Davis told the members OF his pro-
icsSion that it is their duty to resist gov
crnmental changes which do not accord
with the spirit OF the country's original
doctrine OF government They are in
honor bound, he declared. to undertake
to see to it that such changes as arc
made shall represent the will of the ma
ioritv, "and not the transient wish of
organized minoritieS no matter now clam
orous; that they should deal with gov
crnment power and functions, and not
with individual duties; that constitutions
should remain constitutions and statutes
should remain statutes
Such is the duty not only Of lawyers,
although the obligation is directly as
suned by them when they take the oath
that admits them to the bar; it is also
the duty OF every citizen. whatever his
profession or occupation, and particularly
of citizens who have the advantages
which education conicrs. And a person
is not truly educated il he is not able
to recognize in present conditions the
same factors which in earlier periods. of
the worlds history prevented the func-
Gons OF government and brought misery

diplomatic parity with the British
Empire and France and Italy. No
doubt Cuba will begin TO insist on be-
ing granted ambassadOrial privileges
by these other countries.
There is, of course, Il story behind
it, which has not been fully revealed
as yet. The administration has indi-
Gated to Cuba that she must keep step
financially hereafter, and the indica-
ton has been very formally voiced
by General CrOwder. He has been the
dictator in fact from the moment of
his arrival, under the terms of the
treaty with Cuba. He compelled the
island republic to restore her finances
to something like order, TO behave her
self politically, and to quit shooting in
the dark Naturally he has not been
well liked by all classes in Cuba.
Meanwhile, it is perhaps possible
that other nations have diplomatic
representatives in Cuba who would
Outrank an American minister. if one
were named today. Diplomatic hon
ors go by rank and time of service at
a post. The ambassador of longest
service sits at the head Of the diplo-
matte table when a diplomatic parley
is necessary. but alb ambassadors sit
above all ministers. The United States
being compelled to godfather Cuba
naturally does not care to have its
representative sit below the represcn-
tatives OF other nations which have
no such responsibility. The chairman
of diplomatic parley is in the same
post Of advantage that the chairman
is at any other parley.
Which is why General Crowder viii
become ambassador, if the Senate so
wills. But an interesting field of con-
lecture is opened as 10 what may hap

From a Seat in the Gallery
by HERBERT COREY.

Washington. ID. c.. Jan. "a
Some folks think that Secretary of
State Hughes pulled Lloyd George
when he paved the way for the eleva-
ton OF General EnOch Crowder to am
bassadorial rank in Havana. Perhaps
the reader may remember that cynical
people once accused Lloyd George Of
making peers as common as pickles
in the British Isles. 1t got so that no
man was safe. Once a man got his
was sure to run him down and thrust
a lOrdShip on him. George was never
particularly keen about lords as a
class.
IL Cuba is to have an ambassador
there are swarms of other little coun-
tries that should have ambassadors
likewise. There can hardly be found
any excuse for refusing them. The
islands area is but a very little bit
greater than that of Ohio, and there
are just about as many people on it
as live in New Jersey, except that
most of them are colOred, jolly, bare
footed, and reposefgl. Only Brazil,
Argentina, Chile, and Peru in South
America have been granted ambas-
sailors by the United States. They are
the great countries of the southern
continent. The lesser countries. al
most every one of which is of more
Importance from the world view than
is Cuba, may perhaps wonder what
has happened and why.
If all these smaller countries are
granted ambassadors, and it will be
difficult TO explain refusal. what is
to become of the ambassadors in
Europe? In the eyes of Europe an
ambassador is an ambassador, just as
a goat is a goat. The elevation of
General Crowder places Cuba on a

OPENING THE GERMANS EYES

Irrespective OF whether the course that
France is pursuing is advisable from any
standpoint. one can hardly restrain the
thought that possibly nothing less drastic
would awaken some OF the Germans from
the dream O. personal immunity with
which they bcgulcd themselves during
the world war. In one sense Chancellor
Cuno was right when he said that the
coming of the French troops created
state OF war. Philosophically. the Ger
mans may profit by realizing just what
that means. In any case sad experience
is almost invariably the lot Of those with
a deficient sense Of responsibility.
Steadily the French are extending their
control over Gcrmany's richest industrial
1cgion. They arc doing more than mere
" Occupying that region. They are
evidently determined to get. in one way
or another. what they went for. First.
they gave the GermanS-private citizens
as well as government ofticials-an oP-
portunitv to turn over to them the wealth
OF the invaded districts. When the citi
zens and officials refused. the French
began to take whatever wealth they could
lind.
This was TO have been expected. al
though the Germans apparently antici-
rated less drastic measures. Herr So
and-So was a rich man; he was a mine
owner, or perhaps banker The French
couldn't touch his property! 1t was his,
and not the governments. But in the
French philosophy, with respect TO Ger
many, there is no such word as Can't
That word did not exist in the German
philosophy when France was being in
vaded. Then no distinction was made
between public and private property. To
the Germans in France. nothing was ever
boten." Should the kaiser's own army
stand upon ceremony; Ach! what Joke
Now the tables are turned. The Ger
man people stand in the same position
as that occupied by the French people
during the world war-cNcept that the
French troops are confiscating property,
and appropriating it to their own con-
structive uses, instead Of destroying it as
the German invaders Of France did.
When Germans were taken prisoners
during the war they seemed to think that
they should not be held personally re-
sponsible for their part in the destructive
operations Of the kaiscr's army. They
entertained that notion despite the fact
that they had welcomed the war as an
opportunity for gain Of every descrip-
ton. They came out of the war with the
same idea-that any crimes committed
were chargeable only against their gov
eminent.

LOST-SO LET 1T REMAIN

Some OF the lost causes OF history
cannot be contemplated without cxcrcis-
ing the tender emotions 1t is a human
propensity to sympathize with the under
dog even though his defeat may be recog-
nized among the demands OF both Justice
and cXpcdicncy. But who on top side o
creation will shed mental tear, or put
up marker in mcmory> graveyard, for
the lost cause OF those members of
Congress who fought to the last trench
for free garden seeds: Who will say
that the leader OF that cause--Scnator
Heilin-proved himself to be a statesman
by his final appeal for the pcrpctuation OF
this governmental gratuity:
As vet nobody has spoken out in meet
ing to express the slightest appreciation
OF Senator Helms cleventh-hour clio
qucncc on the subject. Doubtless other
members OF the Senate were bored by his
rhetorical flight. Isn't it strange that
not even the poor farmers in whose al
legged behalf Mr.. Helm rcsortcd to old
fashioned oratory have thanked him for
his efforts?
Not bit. Most likely he underesti-
mated the farmers degree OF sopl1istica-
ton. Certainly he misjudged the effect
his speech would produce upon those for
whose consumption it was obviously in
tended. He was not trying to impress
his fellow lawmakers-givc him credit
for that. OF course his object was to
get his speech into the record, so that
the farmers and CITY gardeners might
know who was their best friend in Con-
grcsS. Just listen to this excerpt from
his speech:
Continue this item for seed distribu-
ton, and gardens will spring up as if
by magic, and choice green vegetables
basking in the sun and reveling in the
rain will rise up to call you blessed"
In the language OF the Sons and Daugl-
tiers of All Will Arise. free garden seeds
wuz Whut many citizens used to get
nothn' else but outen their representa-
tives at Washington. And where were
the wonderful gardens OF Senator Helms
dream: Some OF the seeds did serve as
chicken fccd-of a poor quality. Some
were plantcd-Just planted; that gives a
complete account of their history from
the time they were received by the dear
constituents. OF course some of them
came up; and maybe one recipient out of
10000 reported results to the Department
of Agriculture, as used to be requested.
But as a general proposition the people
who received seeds from their representa-
lives at Washington neither needed nor
appreciated such gratuitics. The princi-
pal function performed by the old practice
was that OF aifording 4 member OF Con-
gress an excuse for reminding his con-
stitucnts that he was still alive-or that
lie would be a candidate to succeed him
self at the next election.
The annual cost to the government
36O,OOO-was just another item in the
list OF c,,travagances in which Congress
INDUCED for the doubtful political bcnc-
fit of its members at the certain expense
OF the taxpayers.
