connection with the annual meeting
of the American Society of Mechani-

thatefn the future "the burdens of

requirements in finished products is

first and simplest step in the problem.
After these requirements have
been computed they must be translat-

dainty during the last campaign that
he does not allow political caution or
cowardice to enter into his speeches
or acts.
Meanwhile, further, the old Harding
cabinet members who are most like
ly to stay on into the new complete
Coolidge regime and who are most
likely to dominate the cabinet during
that regime are precisely the ones
that are the most unpolitieal in their
characters.
AS everybody knows, Hoover Is no
politician. One can talk for hours
with him without hearing a word
about politics. He knows nothing,
and cares nothing, about the profess
sional practice of politics; and his
department, the Department of Com
merce, has almost no politicians in it..
Mellon, though he is now called the
political boss of western Pennsyl-
vania, is really equally unpolitical.
He continues to write reports on the
economics of taxation and does not
seem to know whether the economists
in his department were for Coolidge
or for Davis.
Three really great men-Hoover,
Mellon, Hughes. And not the least
of these three is Hughes. Not even
his worst enemy can point to politics

RINGWORM

EVERYBODY has seen ringworm.
- Many persons have had one. II
may happen to anyone; it may affiict
any part of the body.
Several little red spots. scaly and
elevated above the surface, appear on
the skin. They spread from each red
spot as center, clearing up in the
middle as they go, until they form a
series of red rings, surrounding a
patch of white skin. In from three
or four days TO two weeks after their
first appearance the patches are from
half an inch to an inch in diameter.
The rings may then gradually disap-
pear or may remain stationary, turn
ing to yellowish brown, or they may
become inflamed and very painful.
These spots may be on the face,
neck, hands and forearms, on the
palms of the hands or the soles of the
feet. Ringworm of the scalp causes
the hair to fall out in circular patches.
RingwOrm of the face is popularity
called BARRIERS itch.
Ringworm, n any degree and on
any part of the body, is due to little
fungus growing in the superficial
layers of the skin. 1t is highly con-
tagious. 1t may be taken by personal
contact or by using toilet articles, or
clothes of infected persons. 1t is par
ticularly common in schools and inSti-
tutions such as orphan asylums, day
nnrSnripS anH cinNilar irStifnfiOnS
where children come in close contact
with each other. Barber shops, beauty
parlOrs, hair-dreSsing establishments,
laundries and public baths may spread
this troublesome diSease.-It may also
be carried by dogs, cats, rabbits,
horses and cows.
Ringworm is a singularly stubborn
affection, and although it usually dis
appears in from several days to a
few weeks, under proper treatment,
it is very apt to return, either by a
new infection or by some of the fungi
being left alive in the skin. 1t is, of
course, more stubborn and more diff
cult TO control on the scalp and face.
Here the hair or beard must be cut
short or shaved in order to expose
the skin.
The skin should be washed clean
with hot water and green soap and
one OF a number of germicides ap-
piled. Painting the patches with tine
ture of iodine is excellent, if one does
not mind the temporary Disagreement.
For young children the iodine should
be diluted with an equal amount Of
alcohol. Sulphur, salicylic or benzoic
acid ointment may be used. Your
doctor will tell you which one to use
and how strong the ointment should be.

Equal Distribution of Burdens of War

1.-THE many months which were lost
in the course of the World war in our
industrial effort speak eloquently of
the necessity for planning in peace
time for our organization in national
defense
eff the War department had laid
down a definite program before our
entry into the World war and had
computed approximately its munitions
requirements under the program our
effective entry into the European con-
flict would have been speeded up by
months, with consequent saving in
lives and money that would have been
enormous"
In one item alone, that of leather
goods, Mr.. Davis estimated, the saw
ing of some $200,000,000 could have
been made.
To further the plans of national
preparedness, Mr.. Davis announced,
the War department had appointed Is
commodity committees to which had
been assigned the task of getting to-
gether the total requirements of all
supply branches for certain assigned
commodities. In event of war, he
said, these commodity experts would
be called to the colors to carry on
the work they had been doing during
peace time.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1924-12-26

been possible either to carry out the
full mission Of the defense forces or
to practice true economy"
As we face this unfortunate situa-
ton, like the business man arranging
his schedule of work and his plans for
the allotment of funds, and decide
that relief is urgently needed and
must be spread over a period of
years" the secretary said, 1--WE are
faced with two determining factors
in American law and custom.
''The estimated date when our
process of rehabilitation must be COM
plete, when the various treaties aris-
ing out of the Washington conference
cease to be effective, and when the
approximation of the veterans of the
World war will have practically elm
mated our reserve of citizens of ex-
perience in the field, would seem to
require that our plans for rehabilita-
ton and our expenditure for that pur-
pose can be spread over and must
reach an end at the expiration of
ten-year period. providing such a plan
and such expenditures begin to be eff.
fective at this time"
