SENATE ADOPTS
OIL LEASE REPORT
investigation Findings Submitted
by Walsh Committee Are
Confirmed.

Washington-The Senate confirmed
the findings of the majority of its in
vestigating committee criticising the
naval oil lease.
The report, submitted in the closing
days of the last session by Senator
Walsh, Democrat, Montana, prosecu-
tor for the committee, was approved
by vote of 40 to 80 after the Senate
had rejected, AZ to %, minority re-
port presented by Senator Spencer Of
Missouri, on behalf of himself and
four other Republicans of the commit.
tee.
Action came after comparatively
brief debate on a subject which oc-
cupied much of the attention of the
Senate at the last session and led to
the institution of the pending suits by
the government to cancel the leases
of the naval oil reserves granted to
Edward L. Doheny and Harry F. Sim
clair by Albert B. Fall as Secretary Of
the Interior.

BILLS DRAFT TED TO.
REGULATE BUSES
Measure Would Give Rail Com
mission Power to Control
Lines and Adjust Rates.

ST. Paul Regulation of motor
buses of the state would be placed un-
der the State Railroad aud Warehouse
commission under the provisions of a
bill introduced.
The bill does not deal with the
question of taxation of the busses. but
merely provides for the regulation of
the companies.
Under the bill no company would
be entitled to operate bus line with
out getting from the Railroad and
Warehouse commission certificate
that public convenience and necessity
require such line.
The bill provides that each company
must file a schedule of its rates with
the commission. If the commission
should feel that the rates are unrea-
sonable, it would have power to pre-
scribe reasonable rates after pub
lie hearing. Rates could not be
changed without sanction of the COM
mission.
The commission would have full
power of regulating the companies.
Taxation of the motor busses, an
other important question to be
threshed out this session, is to be
cared for in other bills.

President Angel of Yale said at a
New Haven party:
''We have almost too many colleges
in America: Tusculam college, Woo

'OXford and Cambridge stand so
high in the English schoolboy's mind
that if you ask him what air is COM
posed of, instead of answering that it
is composed of oxygen and hydrogen,
he will probably say:
"'OXygen and cambridgen.'

POINTS ON
KEEPING WELL
DR.. FREDERICK r. GREEN
Editor of "HEALTH"
PICKING OUT THE
FEEBLEMINDED

TN the last few years the public
has begun to recognize the dan
ger of mental effectiveness. Much
study has been given to feeble
mindedness. Various mental tests have
been devised, not only to determine
who are feebleminded, but also to
classify the different types and degrees
OF feeblemindednesS Special atten-
ton has been given to those forms of
feeblemindedness which are so near
normal as to make their recognition
extremely difficult.
1t has been found that many persons
who possess enough intelligence TO
look after themselves, and even in
some cases to earn their own living,
telligence.
These tests, Of course, sometimes
lead to ridiculous results, as when a
distinguished lawyer, after spending
years on the bench and accommodating
a large fortune in the practice of his
profession, was found unable to pass
the mental test for freshmen at his
state university. But this only means
that our tests are imperfect.
Much has appeared in newspapers
regarding morons term until recently
unheard. Strange and motiveless
crimes have been found to be due not
to deliberate criminal intent, but to
abnormal mental conditions. Such
freakish crimes as setting fire to build
ings for the pleasure of seeing the
blaze, turning on fire alarms to see the
engines turn out, stealing useless and
worthless things, and especially those
dark and mysterious crimes caused by
exaggerated or perverse sex impulses.
are explained today as the act of men
tally abnormal rather than criminal
persons. In fact, Judge Olsen, chief
justice of the Municipal court of Chi
cago, says that all criminals are in
sane.
The trouble is that today, the feeble
minded person is not recognized until
he commits some act which to the nor
NAL mind is criminal. We are still
treating mental conditions very much
like our forefathers treated contagious
diseases.
DR.. Walter e. FeTnald, superintend-
ent of the Massachusetts School for
the Predetermined. estimates that
there are $4,000 feebleminded children
In Massachusetts, not more than $4,000
of whom have been recognized.
The only method which so far
offers any hope is the mental exami-
nation Of every child when it enters
school, and special training and edu-
cation for those found mentally de-
fective.

PROPOSED LEGISLATION
Would Establish State Owned
Printing Plant.

st. Paul-Creation of state print
ing commission, an exofficio body, to
have charge of the printing and dis
tribution of textbooks for Minnesota's
public schools, isNproposed in bill in
the lower house of the legislature by
Representative Frank T. Starkey, Of
st. Paul. Another bill, ready for in
PRODUCTION by Mr. Starkey, proposes
establishment of a state owned print.
ing plant to provide the states print
ed materials.
A bill is being drafted for early in
PRODUCTION into the legislature provid-
ing one day rest in seven, to substi-
legislature which. was declared uncon-
stitutional in test in the states
courts. The bill is being drafted by
the Minnesota State Federation of La
Dor. According to Mr.. Starkey it
will be more specific in its provi-
sions for exceptions and remove some
of the inconsistencies pointed out by
the courts.
Farmer-labor members will make a
fight at the session to revise the drain
age laws, which they contend are
working an injustice, particularly to
northern Minnesota farmers. Assess
ments, they hold, have become so bur-
densome that they are in reality con-
fiscation. Two years ago a law,
known as the Enstrom act, delayed
payment of assessments. The proposal
now is to bring permanent relief and
modify operation of the law in the fu-
ture. A superpower BILL sponsored
by Representative S. A. Stockwell, of
Minneapolis, is to have support of the
minority members, discussion at the
caucus showed. This bill withdraws
from sale all remaining power sites
and ultimately would enable the state
to produce and dispose of power.
A bill to permit the use of certified
food colors in. the manufacture and
sale of food PRODUCTS, in Minnesota
has been introduced in the state Leg.
islature by Senator William c. Fam
boni of Owatonna. Minnesota is the
only state in the union whose food
laws prohibit the use of certified col
ors, Senator Zamboni declares.

PREVENTING DIPHTHERIA
IN CLEVELAND

DIPHTHERIA is one of the dis
eases we know all about Bre-
tonneau of Tours first described it as
distinct disease in 1921, over hun
dred years ago. Before that time it
had been confused with many other
forms of sore throat and had been
called malignant sore throat" "putrid
sore throat" ETC. He called it diph-
iberia from Greek word meaning a
membrane, because in true diphtheria
membrane always forms on the in
fected spot. Klebs discovered the
diphtheria germ in 1883 and Loeffler
in 1884 first succeeded in growing the
germ outside the human body.
In 1883 Roux and Yersin proved that
poisoning and death in diphtheria were
caused, not by the germ itself, but by
the poison which the germ manufac-
lures in its growth. In 1891 Won
Behring made an antitoXin or antidOte
for the diphtheria poison, by which the
poison caused by the disease could be
neutralized and the child's life saved.
In 1913 Schick found that a single
drop of antitoxin, injected under the
skin, would show what children were
susceptible to this disease. Then Park
and Zingher in New York found that
children whom this test shows TO be
immune at two or three years of age
will probably be safe from the dis
ease for the rest of their lives, while
those who are susceptible can by a
dose of toxin-antitoxin, be protected
from it in all cases during childhood
and in many cases for the whole of
their lives
So we know all about it, what
causes it, how the germs get into the
throat of the well child, how it can
he prevented and how it can be cured.
Yet in 1921 there were twenty thou
sand deaths from diphtheria in the
United States, most of them children
under ten years of age.
AS King Edward asked, IF this dis
ease is preventable, why is it not pre-
yented?' Because its prevention re-
auires action on large scale. To
protect a single child against diph-
iberia is good but this will not reduce
the death rate. All susceptible chill
dren must ! protected.e The time to
do this is when the child enters school.
In Cleveland Doctor McClelland
found that two-thirds of all children
examined were susceptible and that
the largest number of susceptible chill
dren were found in the well-to-do
homes. Not single child out of the
10000 treated showed any bad effects
from the antitoxin.
"Who would not give trifie to pre-
vent what he would give thousand
worlds TO cure?" Three doses of toxin
antitoxin will protect your child from
this awful disease. Don't be sorry
when it is too late.
