Erich Graichen, q young German scientist, claims
10 have invented machine that will isolate and split
atoms.
He is primarily interested in finding something to
lure cancer, and he believes his invention will do it,
but he says that it can also be used the most
Instructive weapon known. It emanates rays
shat will kill any living thing they touch; If directed
pm ton Of coal, he adds, these rays would it
10 explode with force of 80 billion horsepower
He wants to build bigger machine than the ex-
detrimental model he is now working with, he con-
nues, but is afraid to for fear it would wreck his
laboratory and kill everybody in it.
In the absence of confrmatory reports, it is i'm
possible to tell how much Of his story is sober scientific
fact and how much is pure brainstorm. The thing is
interesting, however. Assume for the moment that
his invention will do all he says; would it not be a
strange terrifying device to let loose on civilization
cure for cancer would be unspeakable bless
ing. But suppose that the cure if mismanaged could
blow physician, patient, hospital and city into cosmc
dust; what then? Would we be willing to it used :?
As matter of fact, nearly every great advance in
civilization is gift of that kind Every great boon
be q il misused The steam engine has made
possible modern civilization, but in its early days it
brought into being man-killing factories that made
hopeless drudges out Of thousands of and women.
The automobile is a great blessing, yet it kills more
than 10000 people year American highways. Even
the printing press, which has done much to en-
tighten humankind, has its drawbacks has it made
possible the tabloid scandal sheet?
That it happens, is the way civilization makes
progress. Men toll from discovery to discovery;
and each weapon forged for the service of
humanity, is two-edged and proves destructive to the
until it be properly managed Nothing comes
easily. We pay a great price for every step for
ward.
Assume that this Germans machine actually is a
practical, disable affair. As long we keep our
sanity it will be a splendid thing. But if we 70 to
war it may wipe out civilization Our salvation is
strictly up to us.
So it is with everything. It is useless to blame
machine civilization" The fault always lies with
ourselves. If wise enough to handle our mod
ern tools all will go well.

Washington-The Washington
correspondents have been guilty Of
considerable Fotowing in their time,
but many of them have. been inn
bued with a greater feeling of self
respect since they hooted Premier
Mussolini's name from the men,
bership of the National Press Club.
A movie press agent returning
from Italy proposed Mussolini as
a nonresident member and the
clubs board of governors tenta-
lively approved his election. A
club officer actually cabled Mus
solini that he had been elected and
that "all fellow members" Joined in
best wishes.
The boards recent announce
ment that consideration Of Musso-
lini's name had been withdrawn
following constitutional pro-
test of more than ten active men,
bers, citing reasonable cause" gave
little indication of the great howl
that went up from working newspa-
permen here. Soma of them threat
ened to resign if Mussolini were
placed on the rolls.
When a protest petition was cir
culated in the Senate press gallery,
citing Mussolini's ruthless exter-
mination of opposition newspapers
in Italy and overt acts against
American correspondents in Rome,
25 members of the first 81 APP
preached signed promptly. Three
O. the other six explained that they
might be assigned to Rome and
didn't dare protest openly.
A score or more members came
to the next meeting of the board,
assailing Mussolini as the worlds
worst enemy of the press and de-
failing specific instances of his
suppression Of its liberties. No
voice YVES raised on behalf of the
Italian dictator and as soon as the
-Mussolini group had finished
and withdrawn, the board Of gov
errors gave him the gate.
If Governor Alfred E. Smith is
nominated at Houston, there will
be some discussion Of this question:

INDUSTRIAL POISONING

There are several types of
poisoning which result from using
poisonous chemicals in manufacture
ing processes. The most common
occupational disorder that doctor
is called upon to treat is chronic
lead poisoning. 1t occurs in almost
every type of industry which
necessitates handling this metal or
it's compounds, such as white lead
paints.
The lead enters the body very
gradually, and it seems to enter
through the skin and through the
inhalation of dust or vapor. Most
cases Of metal poisoning may be
prevented by keeping the rust and
fumes from entering the mouths
and noses Of the workers.
The symptoms Of this form Of
poisoning are abdominal pains, con
stipation, and peculiar leaden hue
Of the gums. the palate, and even
the skin. When this poisoning be.
comes chronic, it produces severe
kidney disorders, paralysis, anc
sometimes blindness. Death from
lead poisoning resembles the symp.
toms Of blood poisoning.
Another type of industrial poison.
ing which is very frequently met
with but not often recognized is
mercury poisoning, caused by ar
excessive contact with mercury
When "frying gold" was practiced
these cases we're fairly common
The mercury was used to absorb the
gold by amalgamation from the
small rock and gravel with which
the gold is mixed, and the mercur,
was cvaporated from frying pan
leaving the gold as residue.
There are other OCCUPATIONS tina
use mercury, and usually precau
tions are taken to avoid this poison
ing. This disorder is very insidious
as it's worst effects often do no
occur until many years have passed
1t produces symptoms very similar
to those of advanced syphilis, sucl
as paralysis and softening Of tn.
brain.
Phosphorus poisoning at one time
was quite common in match fac
tories, but modern methods of pre-
pairing the phosphorus have almos
eliminated this disease.
Gasoline and kerosene poisoning
usually occur by accident, more fire
ouently in children. but even tn,
inhalation Of gasoline vapor will
produce poisoning. In swallowing
as little as ar ounce Of gasoline OF
bcnzinc, Inconsistencies will gen
orally result in from ten to fifteer
minutes, and the death may occur
shortly after. Some individuals
have more resistance and can swal
low larger amount without pro.
ducing death. It produces burning
pain in the throat and stomach
Vomiting thirst, dizziness, headache

ing should be induced as soon al
possible. Some form Of fasting is
advisable in the case Of the metallic
poisons, and phosphorus. !. have
found that citrus fruit fast, fol-
lowed by a milk diet until the worst
symptoms have subsidized, Is the
most valuable method Of curing
these diseases dietetically.
OF course, any person who re-
ceives an occupational poisoning
should change his occupation so
that he will no longer absorb these
poisons.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Question: r. H. J. writes: "What
can be the cause of violent dizziness
when lying on back or right side?
Bowels are regular"
Answer: The dizziness may come
from high blood pressure or harden
ing Of the arteries. In some cases,
plain biliousness is responsible.
Question: Schoolgirl asks: care
pickles harmful to ones health?"
Answer: You will notice / do
not recommend pickles in my menus.
They must be classed as condiments
and not as food. If used at all
{. they should be used with a meal
containing no starch.
Question: K. P. writes: IL have a
case of kidney trouble. Have been
on diet of just milk and one orange
a day. Everything has cleared up
in the urine but the albumin, which
is three plus. l have no more casts
or acids, but still the albumin
doesn't go down."
Answer: You do not say how long
you have been on the milk diet,
but as this is an excellent treat
ment for abuminorrhea, I would ad-
wise you to continue on such a diet
until you show still more improve
mcnt. If the albumin does not dis
appear RAPIDLY enough it would be
a good plan for you to take an
orange juice fast for a few days,
then go back on the milk.
Question: j. o. writes: II have a
fallen stomach that hangs several
inches below normal. How can I
bring it back in place."
| Answer: You can bring your
stomach back to normal position by
taking certain kinds of exercises.
Write me again, sending a large,
self-addressed stamped envelope,
and I will send complete directions
for these exercises, with illustrated
chart.

VACATION THOUGHTS


At this time of the year this is nation with but
single thought--vacation.
Independence Day will find vacation time in full
swing. And during the succeeding two months large
percentage Of the people Of the United States will
have their annual furlough from the cares and
labors of making living
For some the vacation will be week, or perhaps
only day. larger number will drop their tools
for Is days. A few moro fortunate will extend
their playtime month, two months, or three
months
The vacation is alrevealing barometer of pros
perity There is other country in the world where
wage and workers for small salaries afford
the luxury Of vacation trip, which is expensive and
enjoyed at the additional expense of loss Of earnings
during the period of absence from work.
American workers little the slaves Of thai
machine called industry and business and have litt
craving for gold for it's sake that they collectively
forfeit hundreds of millions Of wage and salary dollars
for the sake of vacation tour or sojourn.
Since the war the vacation has approached uni
versatility among salaried workers in the United States
Most office and store employees get week Is day:
with pay. But the fact that he gets no pay while
away does not deprive the skilled wage Garner of hi
