Punish Policemen Using Pull"
In Congress

BOUT the most pernicious evil In the Washington Police
Department, highly destructive Of discipline, is the
of political influence from Congress for promotions and
for protection against punishment
This evil not confined to patromen alone. High officials
the past have been just guilty the rawest recruits
The help Of Senators and Representatives has been sought at
frequent intervals.
It may not be possible wise attempt to prevent nfu
entail recommending promotions for officers the force
but is possible dscredt those who seek Congressional
influence prevent punishment for nracons of police rules
and regulations.
Discipline and the principles of merit prevail any
police force which is subject political influence and inter-
ference
In many cities where civil service is adhered in police
departments high officials resort to successful methods
break up pull by sending pull seekers outlying precincts
and assigning them hard and difficult tasks this not
effective other used.
The District Commissioners and Chief Pratt should find
ways stop policemen running Congress with their
troubles and with unubstanated charges Of neffcency and
corruption against their fellow officers.

LISTEN WORLD!
Hare We Independence?
By Elsie Robinson

That's a typical 100 per cent
American letter, and it holds Its
own answer.
WHY DOES PAPA LOOK
TIRED? WHY ARE AMERICANS
IN DEBT WHILE THE FOR
EIGN BROTHER THRIvES?
Is 1t because the Latin eats
cheaper and sleeps warmer?
IT rs NOT.
It's because OF our own fool mo-
tions--those notions which we so
proudly label THE AMERICAN
STANDARD OF LIVING"
We're a great country and our
forefathers hung up a glorious
record for themselves. But we,
their descendants, have come to
the place where we certainly need
to take in a little slack. Why is
Papa tired? Because he's whang-
ing the life out of himself trying
to maintain a standard OF luxury
that would have made medieval
czar green with envy.
Independence Day!
It's a joke.
AFTER HE HAS PAID HIS
BILLS, THE AVERAGE AMER
ICAN WORKER HAS ABOUT AS
MUCH INDEPENDENCE AS A
TRAINED FLEA.
We might learn much needed
sense from these foreign
brothers" we disdain. We could
learn about common, coarse foods
again and cheap clothes and uTl-
heated bedrooms and simple
amusements and all the blessed
roughage of plain living that
keeps life wholesome. Our fore
fathers had that sense. They
built this country upon REAL
American standard. AND THEY'D
THROW A DUCK FIT IF THEY
COULD SEE THE OVERPAD-
DED HOKUM WE'VE SUBSTI.
TUTED IN ITS PLACE.

and get him to rustic a bunch Of
guys who are willing to carry
patches on their pants and bundles
under their arms and wash their

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. Louis e. Bisch-

nISTINCTIoN should be made
~ between heat exhaustion and
sun-stroke, for the conditions are
entirely different and the 2reat.
ment of one is not the same as for
the other.
Persons who may develop heat
exhaustion are those who may be
subjected to high temperature but
are not necessarily exposed di-
rectly to the sun. Occupations,
therefore, like stoking furnaces on
ocean liners, that of foundrymen,
bakers, laundrymen, etc, where
great artificial heat prevails, may
be direct causes of exhaustion.
Often the first symptom is dig
illness. There may be a sensation
of throbbing in the head and head
ache. Often the patient feels like
vomiting.
Although excessive heat has
produced the condition, in heat ex-
haustion the skin usually remains
cool and the extremities are cold.
Often the face is pale, restless.
ness develops general prOstration
takes place and even unconscious.
ness may occur.
!. All the while the pulse is likely
to be weak and the temperature
below normal, perhaps as low as
95 degrees.
The treatment of heat exhaus-
tion consists first in removing the
subject out of the place where he
has been working and away from
the excessive heat, whether this be
out-of-doors in the sun or not. A
cool room, well ventilated, is prefer
able. Then all clothing which re.
stricts or interferes with breath.
ing should be opened or removed.
Next hot applications should be
placed around the feet and hands
to make them warm. Aromatic
spirits Of ammonia may be placed
under the 'nostrils. If the patient
can swallow, hot coffee should be
given. A hot bath may also be
employed.
Those who may develop sun.
stroke are those who work hard
when exposed to the rays of the
sun. Such are men who repair
streets and lay pipes or soldiers
on the march.
In the sun-stroke cases, the con.
dition of the patient is very diff.
ferent from that in heat prostra.
tion.
The skin is dry and hot-not
clammy-and the face looks
swollen and congested.
Restlessness may be present,
however. as in the other condition
and 1t may begin with dizziness,
head symptoms. and nausea.
However. in sun.stroke the tenn
perature is much higher than nor
NAL, as high as 107 or even 110
degrees. The pulse is not weak,
but full and rapid. Furthermore,
unconsciousness is very common.
For sun-stroke the patient must.
Of course, be removed out Of the
sun and into cool place. And
what he needs is not warmth to
the extremities, but gradual cool
ing Of the entire body.
Where is it possible the patient
should be placed in bath OF cool
water to which ice is added grad
ually. This should not be pro-
longed unduly, say over 20 min
utes, or after the temperature of
the body has decreased to 102 de-
grees.
Wrapping the patient in sheets
soaked in cold water may also be
used or ice to the head If this only
is practicable.
Sun-stroke is q particularly dam
Eerous condition and many per-
sons die from It, and oftaa sNA-
denly each year.

EoURTH OF JULY!
4 whoopee! Bands blaring---
flags flung to the wind in honor
OF the greatest nation on earth.
Fine stuff! Makes your blood
race faster, doesn't it, partner?
But
, After the day Is over and tho
dust has died down and we're
sitting on the front verandah, di.
gesting the chicken dinner and
shooin' away the flies. 1t might
be well to do a little serious
thinking about it all. Just where
do we stand today - we, Uncle
sammies?, Are we really as free
as we think we areas star
spangled? Or are We just kid
ding ourselves?
Here's a letter from a lady
named Jones. She has made me
wonder:
Dear Elise Robinson:
/ have been thinking about
Fourth of July and what our
country stands for, and suddenly
this thought occurred to me.
HAVE YOU EVER NOTICED
HOW TIRED THE AMERICAN
WORKING MAN LOOKS? We
have the highest standard of liv.
ing on earth, and yet our work
ing men look the most worn and
worried. Notice as you go home
from your office tonight and see
il it isn't pitiful.
THE FOREIGN WORKER,
ESPECIALLY THE ITALIAN,
LOOKS WELL FED, FAT, SMIL-
ING AND PEPPY. BUT THE
AMERICAN WORKER LOOKS
ALL IN.
DOES UNCLE SAM NEGLECT
HIS OWN CHILDREN TO HELP
THE NEW NEIGHBOR?
Half the fellows holding Jobs
down here speak with an accent
and thousands of Americans are
out of work. These Latins eat
cheap food and huddle together
in close quarters to save expenses.
while Americans go in debt. Our
schools are overcrowded with for.
eigners, our free clinics are mo-
nopoHzed--do we gain such a lot
from having all these greedy for
eign brothers with us?

MEDITATIONS
OF A WIFE
BY Helen Rowland

The Short Cut to Marriage
TlHE chief reason for most mari
tai failures in this world is
mans cold fear of falling in love,
and his positive fright at the idea
of finding himself tied to woman
of more than two working brain
cells.
Not that ALL men marry NOR
ons. But when you meet bril-"
liant woman who has succeeded
in winning a worthwhile husband,
YOU may be pretty sure that she
is a good actress who has prac-
ticed a base deception on him and
concealed her mind" from him up
to the wedding day.
As long as bachelor feels per-
fectly secure, he can sit in his arm.
chair and rbapsodize about the
Ideal Woman" the Understand.
ing Woman and the Intelligent
woman" with beautiful wistful-
ness.
But, let him suddenly MEET
one, and watch him grab his hat
with one hand. grasp his free
dom with the other and sprint for
the safety zone-or some other
woman. And that's where the
trouble begins!
The Dangerous Woman" in a
mans life is not the one who
interests and fascinates him, but
L. Ikf1A thing
with the childlike ways and the
seventh. grade intellect, to whom
he turns for sanctuary when ne
feels himself falling in love-not
the woman who stimulates him,
but the one who acts as an
antidote or sedative, and lulls
his fears to rest.
He will dodge the girl who
seems to be getting a hold on his
imagination or his heart-and
rush right into the clutches of the
first woman who soothes his
fright and appeals to his senses.
A man cannot realize that there
may be as much self-determina-
ton behind pair of baby.eyes
and a retrousse nose as behind
pair of goggles or classic
profile.
A fluffy Dumb Dora looks so
innocent, harmless and innocuouS
that the most hard.boiled bachelor
feels that he can play around with
her without for a moment en-
dangering his liberty.
He can never foresee the cling.
ing, choking power of pair OF
soft white arms. guided by pure
selfish instinct and the 1nfantlle
desire to hold onto whatever It
Erasps.
Thus, the finest type of man so
often walks deliberately into q
life of suffocation and petty
tyranny-while the finest women
are SO often left to pick up the
broken sticks, take up ste
biography or run little "shoppes"
and beauty parlors.
The luckiest women in matri-
mony are those who know how to
look harmless. There Is nothing
So terrifying to a man as the
sensation OF feeling himself fall
ing in love. A woman glides into
love easily and gracefully; but
man just stumbles into it as
though 1t were a cellar door.
And, nine times out of ten. he
clutches for safety at some little
moron, who saves" him and mar
ries him-and bores him to death
forever afterward. No man ever
married a brilliant woman. IL
there was beautiful dumb-bell
anywhere around to save" him
from her.

to happen to. all the catchers that
the Cubs could assemble on II
premises. Gabby Hartnett threw his
arm out into the bleachers and injur-
les and hard luck beset his successors
at the job.
Then came lack and he has been
catching for six weeks now without
falling down an elevator shaft or step

present season for lack was a dreary
enough prospect-catching whatever
