Mister Butler
Butler is surrounded with some
young men Of Harvard accent who
always call in a Mister Butler"
They don't seem to know that other
political bosses are called 'Chief."
Buffers first name is William, but
nobody yet has mustered up nerve
to call him Bill" Can you imag-
inc any one calling Harry Daugh-
erty Mister Daugherty?" He was
always Harry or General" just
as Murphy was Charlie or Chief, "
Being rich, and owing his sud
den power to nobody but the Presi-
dent, Butler has no objective eX-
cept to keep his party cool with
Coolidge. He favors policies that
business men like, being one him
self. He has no sense Of the dra-
matte and makes no appeal to the
ramble. What Butler convention
lacks is grandstanding and hand
shaking. The public and the dele
gates like it. Butler walks through
the lobby of his hotel, without a
greeting generally. The delegates,
most of them, do not know him.
Butler does his work in his office
and his decisions to the
newspaper men. The dele rates don't
like 1t.

ventiOn.

history as Buffers. Butler is new
boss of G. o. P. He is something
new in the way of political bosses.
Butler dropped in from Boston,
his home, the other day, to help
things along for the convention. He
said that the President had sent
him. He has been so all fired help
full that by the time the delegates
arrived there was nothing left to be
done except name a candidate for
Vice President. How Butler hap

SPRING TONES

MYTH the first signs of spring our
w grandmothers went out into the
woods and gathered herbs. roots and
barley. Sassafras or camomile tea,
spruce beer or ginger beer? Whatever
It was, It was to 'cool the BLOOD"
which was supposed to become hot and
thick during the long winter.
This belief in ''spring tonic" like
many popular delusions, had Its origin
in the teachings of the wise men Of the
past.
The old psychologists believed that
there were four "humors" or fluids In
the body-blood, lymph, black bile and
yellow bile-and that disease was
caused by improper combinations OF
these four fluids. In the winter the
blood was supposed to become thick
and hot.
Doctors know better now. but the
popular belief still persists.
The sassafras tea our grandmothers
used to make wasn't bad stuff. It was
brown and sparkling and pungent with
the spicy odors of the spring woods.
It didn't "thin the blood" but it didn't
do us any harm and was the best our
good old grandmothers knew.
Yet, like many popular beliefs, there
was germ of truth in 1t.
During the winter most of us stay
In the house too much. We sit at a
desk or a workable too constantly.
We wear too heavy clothes. We eat
too much heavy food. We don't get
enough fresh air and sunshine.
When spring comes we feel the uni
yersal impulse toward growth and re-
generation. We want new life. We
want stimulation. We need "spring
tonic" but we don't need one out Of
a bottle.
The best spring tonic is Gods great
outdoors.
So get outdoors and play. It doesn't
matter how. 1t may be with golf
stick or shotgun or baseball or a
canoe paddle. Hunt up your old fish
ing tackle and overhaul 1t.
Now is the time for boys to get out
their marbles and to start building
kites.
It's the time for little girls to get
their skipping ropes and jack stones.
It's1th time for baseball on the
vacant lots and for pitching horseshoes
In the backyard.
We all need a spring tonic. You can
get your share.
There's air and Sunshine enough for
everybody and they don't cost cent.

WHAT is APPENDICITIS?

GNE Of the favorite subjects for
jokes on the part Of our present
day humorists is appendicitis.
According to these gentlemen. APP
pendIcitis Is recently discovered dis
ease which was invented for the pur-
pose of giving surgeons remunerative
occupation.
"How does 1t happen" asks the
newspaper humorist, that our grand
parents never had appendicitis"
Bless your heartsl They did. just
as people do nowadays but they died
OF 1t. In the majority of cases they
never got well to tell the story.
Appendicitis is as old as the human
race. Ruffers found evidences of 1t in
the Egyptian mummies Of thousand
years before Christ.
Ever since man gave up an exclu-
sively vegetarian diet and began to
walk upright on his hind feet he has
had appendicitis. But he didn't call 1t
that. The doctors of fifty years ago
called 1t bilious collie" or "infamma-
tion Of the bowels" They knew there
was something wrong going on in the
patients abdomen, bat they didn't dare
open him up to find out what the trou-
Bile was. because they knew that II
they did the patient would die from
the operation, while If they let MIN
alone he might get well.
So they gave him opium to deaden
the pain and he either got well or
died. although In the great majority
Of cases he dieda,

proved that Inflammation and infection
are due to minute germs Sir Joseph
Lister. an English surgeon, found out
how to keep these germs out of wounds
so as to avoid infection. This was the
beginning of modern surgery. Az soon
as the surgeon could open the human
body and close it up again without Kill
ing the patient, it was found that what
had been called inflammation Of the
bowels" was often due to an infamma-
ton of the appendix. little glove-like
portion Of the intestines, which we In
herited from our herbivorous ances-
tors. It is of no use to civilized man
and Is rather danger because 1t cas-
lily becomes inf1amed.
When this happens, the patient has
pain and tenderness in the right groin,
generally with increased temperature
If the Inflammation goes on until the
wall of the appendix is softened, It
may rupture and produce an abscess
or general peritonitis.
The present-day surgeon doesn't walt
for perforations. He makes a little
incision through the skin and muscles
slips in his finger. draws OUT the In
famed appendix, ties 1t off and re-
moves it, then drops the bowel back
into the abdomen. closing the incision
with few catgut stitches.
Appendicitis isn't anything new. The
recognition and treatment Of the con-
dition are new and proper treatment
saves thousands of lives every year.

L. A. To Become

Port in World
by United Press Leased Wire

SAN PEDRO, April Is. = The
steamer London Merchant was to
sail from this port today loaded
with 1000 cases of choice Cali
fornia nranges for delivery to MAJ
chester, England. This is the first
shipment of its kind to be routed
to that English port.
Loading the vessel yesterday was
the occasion for a meeting of the
California Fruit Growers Exchange
officials and shipping men here,
when the prediction was made that
Los Angeles harbor will soon become
the greatest orange shipping port in
the world.
This will occur, the sentiment at
the meeting Indicated, because oi q
recent embargo on Spanish citrus
fruit placed by England and because
it is possible to ship California fruit
to England and have it reach there
in better condition than does the
Spanish product.
The London Merchant is one of
four vessels allocated by the Furness
line to orange shipping. All are
equipped with air refrigerator SER
vice and can deliver the fruit to
European ports within % days from
time of loading.

SAYS ENGINE Err
by United Press Leased wire

WASHINGTON, April Is No
matter what flood control dams are
constructed on the Colorado river,
expensive levces and bank protec-
tion systems must be maintained in
the Imperial Irrigation District,
Colonel William Kelley, chief en-
gineer of the Federal Power Com
mission, told the House Irrigation
Committee today.
Kelly said the river attained its
maximum velocity at $4,000 second
feet and that the average annual
flow was $4,000 second feet. Even
If dams kept the flow absolutely
uniform, the year around, he point.
cd out the river would still be CON
stantly cutting its banks.
Kelly told the committee the dan.
ger of another inundation of the
Imperial Valley had been "groat-
ly magnitied. He said the river
was extremely unlikely to break
away from the Pescadero cutoff,
break the levees on the other side
of the Volcano Lake region and re-
sumo its old river course.
The purpose of flood control dams
was largely to insure the district
against inundation and to protect it
from property damage, he testified
