VICE PRESIDENT DAWES.
 ATTACKS PRIMARY SYSTEM

NEW Vice President Dawes, in a speech before. the Penn ..sylvania Society of New York, vigor- ously attacked the primary system. He said:
 Rapid expansion. of State and mu- nicipal business and .. patronage, coupled with the indifference of quail fled voters, half of whom do not go to the polls, often results in the nomi- nation of candidates selected and con- trolled by those having. business in- terests in the continuance fthe ex- isting administration. Under the old convention system such condition would encourage drafting and nom- ination of clean candidates by the op- position party in order to gain advan- tage from clear issue at the polls between clean and unclean govern ment. Under the primary the oppo- sition cannot draft the strongest men as candidates to emphasize the issue.
 "The primary system is responsible for enormous improper use of money in contests. It is steadily. tending to debauch our electorate, since it les sens the opportunity of the minority party or parties to properly make an issue of corruption before the public. It largely insures immunity of vote buyers from political or legal conse- quences, with a resultant increase in their activity.
 "The primary is responsible for the election by parties of some men whose chief effort after election seems to bte to disorganize their party's fight for politics."

42 MEMBERS OF COLUMBIA
 FACULTY SUGGEST A NEW
 DEBT FUNDING SCHEME

NEW YORK.-Forty-two members of the Columbia University political science faculty signed statement yesterday contending that the present debt settlement plan is unsound and declaring that an adjustment should be made through international con ference.
 President Nicholas Murray Butler indorsed the statement, insisting that the settlements "have created and are fostering a deep sense of grievance against us," and hatreds among European nations themselves are being fostered and transferred to the United States.
 "A coalition of Europe against the United States," it is declared, "might prove good thing for Europe, but can anyone believe it would be good thing for the United States?"
 American representatives, without rigid instructions, would attend the conference. We do not urge that the debts be completely cancelled. We urge reconsideration in the light of present knowledge and adjustment on a basis of justice and generous atten- tion," it is declared.

Your Health How To Keep It.
 Causes of Illness
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hygeia, the Health Magazine.


 Specialists in diseases of the skin have a special classification of in- fiammations which includes all of the irritations due to conditions occurring in industry.
 A recent investigation Of women workers in the porcelain and pottery factories of Russia revealed special changes in the skin and nails in fe- male glaze pourers who work with lead glaze. These investigators found the skin of the hands and forearms of the workers very dry, rough and hcred to the skin and could not be removed by washing.
 The irritated spots became cas- lily infected. The finger nails were thin and brittle with saw-like edges. Sometimes they cracked longitudi- nally.
 Turpcntine Fumes
 In the decorating department where women designers worked with colors thinned with turpentine, the skin also became infected frequently following irritation. The air in such rooms is constantly saturated with turpentine fumes. and it is known that the inhalation of turpentine may have severe effects on the kid ncys.
 In such industries arrangements must be made 10 carry off the tur- pentine fumes, and workers may be provided with rubber gloves to pre- vent irritations of the hands.
 Workers in nickel plating plants sometimes develop an irritation of the skin known as nickel rash" 7" Apparently nickel rash is due to the
