EMPLOYMENT INCREASING

Another encouraging report has just been issued by the
department OF labor at Washington on the employment;
situation. The nation hopes the department has in this
acquired a habit 1t never will be forced to break.
Summing up the report in two words. unemployment
diminishes. Here and there, wherever the department
could find information, evidences Of improved employ
ment conditions were collected. The present and past
present no cause for dissatisfaction; the future fosters no
anxiety.
The iron. steel and automobile industries continue to
attract more workers. For the first time the airplane IN
dustry becomes a real competitor in the skilled labor
market. Under the benefcent influence of the new ship
ping law, the %shipyards are turning out more tonnage and
taking on more workers.
Hundreds OF thousands Of men who were out Of work
last winter have found seasonal employment in road and
building construction. which will bring them a pay en-
eylope each week until late fall. Other Thousands can
depend upon agriculture for their bread and butter from
now until the harvest is over.
The nation is, indeed, making hay while the sun shines.

COUGHING

Coughing is for the purpose of ex-
polling an ~irritant from the tracho-
bronchial tubes and securing a free
air passage. A cough may also be
brought on by suggestion, from
hearing others cough, or it may be
maintained as a habit.
Prolonged or severe coughing
spells may bring on serious conse
quences, such as h~emorrhage Of the
lungs, heart failure, or stir arrested
tubercular regions into activity.
Coughing does not always serve its
purpose of expelling clogging mat
ter. Sometimes the deep quick inspir-
atoms following an attack Of cough.
ing only serve to suck the irritant
into the smaller bronchioles, or even
into the alveoli Of the lungs, or to
force air out through the lung tissue
and cause emphysema. The blood
pressure is also raised.
Whether or not q cough should
be subdued is sometimes a prob
lem with a doctor, but the prevailing
opinion is that when clogging ma
terial, such as mucous, pus, or blood
is present, it is better to allow the
cough to proceed, except where
there is some danger of hemor-
rhage. When the coughing is only
caused by a nervous reaction, the
best policy seems to stop the cough
ing to conserve the patients vital
ity.
The act Of coughing is by first a
deep inspiration, followed by a
strong exploratory effort against the
closed glottus. The glottus is then
suddenly opened and the air rushes
out at a very high speed. At the
same time the passage to the nose
is closed off so that any substance
is expelled into the mouth. The
greatest velocity Of the air occurs in
the larger passages. Coughing is Of
no value when the air passage is
completely closed so that air can
not pass back Of the obstruction.
Since the act Of coughing is con-
trolled by a special nerve center in
the medulla, it may be brought on
by irritation of this center of the
nerves emanating from it, even
without irritation In the bronchi or
trachea. For this reason, irrita-
lions of the pleura often in.
duce coughing as we'll as irritations
Of parts supplied by the wan
dering vagus nerve, especially in the
throat, ear, esophagus, spleen and
liver.
Coughing is, of course, a protec-
tive measure to prevent foreign OBJ
jects from entering the lung and for
removing clogging mucous. The
failure of this reflex to work, as
sometimes occurs in very aged or
weakened patients, or in advanced
tuberculosis, prolonged bronchitis
and pneumonia, greatly increases
the danger.
Coughing is sometimes associated
with other conditions, such as aneur-
ysm, paralysis Of one vocal cord, OBJ
struction of nasopharynx, compress
sion of bronchi, diseases of the ear,
puberty, whooping cough, tuber-
culosis, disordered stomach, fungoid
growths or tumors on or near the
bronchi, irritation Of the trigeminal
or vagus nerves, bronchitis.

HAMILTON SHOT IN DUEL

nfAWA1A1 ON Sk1Ox IN DOEA
On July IL, 1904. Aaron Burr, vice
president of the United States. and
Alexander Hamilton. the famous
statesman, fought a duel in which
Hamilton was MORALLY wounded.
Because Hamilton had prevented
him from being made president, Burr
challenged Hamilton. The latter
feeling that by refusing to acknowl-
edge the accepted code. of which he
strongly 6ts%app-oved. he would lose
his influence, accepted.
The duel took place at Weehawken,
N. j., and Hamilton fell, MORALLY
wounded, atthe first fire-having. it
is said, discharged his w weapon in
the air. He died the following day.
Having failed to satisfy his political
ambition in the east Burr got together
soldiers and adventures from the
western states and sailed down the
Ohio and the Mississippi rivers to
carry out some schemes not fully un-
derstood. It is thought that his plan
was to establish a personal govern
ment in the southwest possibly in
Guiding the Spanish possessions in
Mexico. In due time he was taken
and tried for treason, but was ac-
quilted for lack of evidence. He died
in disgrace.

Talks
-. Parents
IDEAL
(By Alice Juds0n Peale)

The ideals and ambitions of chill
dren are compounded Of many things.
They spring from inner urges-the
drive OF some talent that demands
expression. They are given impetus
by reading.
Accounts OF herOism, discovery, in
vention and conquest fire the child
in his early years with the desire to
achieve something great in his own
life. But most often and most con
tinuously children are swayed by the
ideals of their parents. Children who
are in harmony with their parents
unconsciously accept their values and
reflect their ambitions.
At adolescence when the child is
engaged in the struggle of breaking
away from his psychological depen-
dence on his father and mother there
often comes q period of revolt from
the parental ideal which until then
he has eve questioned. It is at
this time that he does silly. rebellious
things. The mere fact that you sug-
gest to him a certain course is Suffi-
cient reason for his choosing another.
Every child must go through this
period if he is to become mature.
The way he goes through it, the
amount of havoc he creates. depends
on the wisdom of his previous train
ing and the tact and insight with
which he is handled at the time.
One way to keep your child from
actions which may cost him too dear
ly is to see to 1t that during these
years he meets plenty Of interesting
grownups who will serve him one after
another as models or surrogate ideals
in place Of the parent ideal which he
has SO recently rejected.
See that your child meets, on terms
Of equality, across the dinner table. or
in the family living room, men and
women who talk well and who are
distinguished and successful in their
work. Let him meet men and women
whose personalities are SO attractive
that he finds among them at least
one whom he would emulate.

It is interesting to contrast these old soldiers with wnat
tn.v nsed to be. Now they are bent, old, infrn. waiting
for their long lives to draw to a close. But once-neariy
three-ouarters Of a century ago-they were young splr-
tied. eagerly looking forward to whatever life might bring
them.
rhey came from the farthest ends Of the sprawling new
land that was America in 1861: and, mostly, they nao
no notion OF the high destiny that awaited them. Inc
flags and the bands drew them into the armies. north
and south. from hundrum jobs and unexciting lives
from farm and mine and shop and office; and they
marched away to make history and take part IN ire
mendous events.
Then. after the war, they went back to their jobs; ana
their fellows, very likely. could not see anything partc-
ularly noteworthy about them. The army had made some
Of them callous and some Of them silent. 1t had taught
some how to drink and some how to pray. Some II mad
ruined and some it had Strengthened up. But one and ALL
they went back to their old jobs, or found new ones;
and there was little glory in 1t for them.
It is only now that they get their glory. Now. con-
trasting their lives with the ordinary. uneventful, un-
dedicated lives Of the great average. we can see that they
are men set apart-and, when we see them on the street,
we feel like tipping our hats to them.
We have, in this country today, some 100000 youngisn
men who can remember service In France. We don't pay
very much attention to them. We rub elbows with them
constantly: they're scattered into all kinds OF jobs, and
the mark Of their service is not yet upon them.
But 40 years from now it will be a different story.
Then it will be the World war veterans who are old and
bent and tired. They. like the Civil war men today. will
be legendary figures to their generation. BY that time
they will have forgotten the pain and misery Of the war.
Only It's epic quality will be left.
Then-like the Civil war veterans. half a century late
they will get their glory.

Theoretically there are no particular reasons why the
president and vice president should not be installed on
January Is and the terms Of senators and representatives
begin on January 2. It does not matter greatly on what
date the president and vice president are inaugurated.
One of the early calendar reformers, Senator George F.
hoar OF Massachusetts,, wanted to delay the ceremony
until April 80, the date Of George Washington's first In
auguration. But congress can easily deal with its own
sessions by legislation. 1t can change the date of annual
assembling from the first Monday in December to some
day in March. and thus get rid of the short session. The

THE SERVICE FLYERS RECORD

Because OF the unusual stunts that their routine calls
on them to do, flyers in the army and navy are generally
supposed to run the greatest risks Of all aviators.
But some figures compiled by a writer in the current
Review OF Reviews indicate that maybe it isn't SO.
This writer added the number of miles flown in the
past year in each branch Of aviation and divided the to-
tai by the number Of deaths, to get the average distance
flown for each fatality. And here is what he found.
The naval flyer can fly for 10 years before meeting a
fatal accident. The army flyer can go for 17ta years:
the air mail pilot can fly for l29 years-and the ordi-
nary civilian club flyer can go only 1915 years.
Considering the nature of their service. the army and
navy flyers are making enviable records for safety. They
don't touch the air mails record. Of course-nobody does;
but they Guido the ordinary civilian flyers.

advice"
Answer-Soak your feet In hot ep.
som salts water for thirty minutes "a
q time twice daily. After about two
weeks the soft corns will separate
from the toes and can easily be taken
out. Continue the hot water treat-
ment for about q week at least once

meal, serving with It plenty Of green
vegetables. both in the cooked and
raw form. It combines well, as q
lunch, with any Of the raw acid fruits.
