After Effects
More Dangerous
Than Flu Itself
Colds Attacking Weakened System
Pave Way For Pneumonia and
Other Serious Diseases
AVOID roo MUCH DOSING

One Of the peculiarities Of in
fluenza is that It's toxins leave
the digestive system upset. Con-
slant dosing" for the colds which
come so frequently after a flu
attack still further disturbs the
digestion and lessons the appe-
tite, just when the body needs
nourishment more than ever.
And yet these colds are so apt
to develop into bronchitis or
pneumonia that they must be
treated at the first sign.
Vicks VapoRub is especially
valuable here, because it Is ap-
piled externally and so can be
used freely with no risk of up
setting a delicate digestion. Just
rub it on the throat and chest
at bedtime.
Vicks- acts 2 ways at once to
check the cold and avoid serious
conn .ications: az through the
skin like a poultice, and (2) di-
rect to the air-passages by means
of its medicated vapors. released

| EX Tile MEN
SEEK BIGGER
TARIFF

spokesmen for the textile indus
try of the nation came before the
House ways and Means Committee
with pleas for tariff increases to
rehabilitate an industry which they
asserted is hard pressed.
Both New England and southern
textile manufacturers, who are bit.
ter competitors. Joined in the declar.
alton that their output Of fine cot
ton yarns and cloths could be
greatly increased by adequate tariff
protection.
While the American nanufac-
turers can compete with foreign
producers on the cheaper textiles
at present tariff duties. they are
outsold in many Of the finer
goods, It was said.
Imports OF the finer yarns and
cloths represent one-fourth of the
entire production of this type Of
materials In our mills, said ROBE
ert Armory OF Boston, spokesman
for the National Council Of Ameri-
can Cotton Manufacturers.
Many thousands Of persons now
idle would be employed IL there
were adequate tariff protection.
The changes we seek are designed
to permit American manufacturers
to compete in the finer qualities
OF goods and not to exclude all
imports.
The imports OF fine goods and
yarns Is not only very large com.
pared with domestic production hut
they seriously affect domestic
prices and the results have been
little or no profits to the mills
and have tended to force down the
wages paid In the mills.

No One Was Safe

MO woman of Rome was safe
~ from the wantonness of this
civilized brute; nor many men, for
that matter
He took what he would, regardless
Of whom it belonged to or the laws
and conventions that we're supposed
to safeguard it.
When his wild beasts lacked meat,
he had criminals killed, and to make
the performance more thrilling, he
had them killed by slow torture.
It seems like divine justice that
he should have been asSassinated
by a tribune with a Shrill voice
whom he goaded into fury by taunts
and ridicule.
If Caligula had not been the man
he was, however, he would not have
constructed those ships to be moored
IN Lake Nemi for a few short years
of wanton pleasure, and then to
sink and be preserved for the mod
ern world to gaze on after nineteen
centuries.
Though scientists seem chiefly in
tcrested to learn how the ships were
put together, they we'll could afford
to give some attention to the psy-
Geological problems involved

CaIiguIa Was Freak

NALIGULA, who had them built
" and anchored in a lake where
he could enjoy all the pleasure of
navigation without facing any Of its
perils, was himself an anomaly and
a freak.
Born with silver spoon in his
mouth and nurtured as the pet of
Roman legions because of the re-
spect in which his father was held,
enjoying every advantage that a
youth of his day could possess, he
developed into an uncomfortable
puppet OF depraYity.
He combined the shreWdness of a
politician with the heart of a beast,
disgusting his real nature with a
pretense of honesty and open dealing
which seems to have completely mis-
led the Roman people.
!Caligula established the custom
of publishing government reports,
granted the magistrates full free
dom, debased knights guilty of the
slightest misconduct, pretended to
restore popular elections, distributed
bonuses and provided great enter
tainments.
These things not only made him
the idol of the hour, but the Ro-
man public his willing dupe.

IT SEEMS TO ME By H B5o1S

THE fish in Hale Lake, Conn,
& probably think they made a
fool of me over the week end. Let
them sneer. I have more important
things to do than explain my in
Wardness to perch and bullheads.
It is true I went to the lake at
noon, at 3 o'clock and sunset, and
each time came back empty hand
ed. But what the fish don't know
is that all the time was thinking.
Besides, I was out in the open air
getting a coat Of tan and filling my
lungs with pure air. Mine was a,
moral victory.
What does any intelligent man
want with little fish about the
size of his thumb? Or to make it
plain even to catfish, what do I
myself want with a little fish about
the size Of your thumb?
Throughout the afternoon the plot
OF the novel which I am going to
write at the earliest opportunity
kept surging through my head. If
a bullhead had actually swallowed
the bacon and challenged me to epic
combat I should have been annoyed.
That would have wrecked my train
OF thought. 1t would have been an
annoyance.

A PeDorter Reforms the Senate


After years OF whispering and wlre-pullng behind
closed doors in passing on presidential appointments
the senate at last apparently has decided to reform
The rules committee is 70 report week from today
series of resolutions ranging all the way from par
tiaI to complete publicity concerning executive ses-
sions.
The United Press ana Paul R. Mallon, chief Of its
capital staff get most Of the credit for this long
delayed reform, assuming that the secrecy rule is
Curiousy. neither Mr. 1Iallon nor his organization
had any intention of reforming the senate The
United Press is world wide non partisan news gath
erng and distributing organization and unlike the
individual papers 1T serves it has editorial policy
nor purpose whatever
Whether the senate meets in secret session is
matter OF rs complete indifference to the United Press
as similar undemocratc practices which it reports i'm
partially in Soviet Russo and Fascist Italy.
So the senate reform apparently finally is coming
to pass, as reforms have way Of doing as by
product OF another issue
In this case the issue was the attempt OF the senate
rules committee to punish and ntnlidate MI. Mallon
ana the United Press Tor publishing the secret roll call
on the confirmation Of former Senator Lenroot as
federal Judge But by its attempt to victrnize the
United Press. the committee unvittngly caused
kc-back which is blasting open the doors OF secrecy
When the United Press carried the secret Lenroot
vote. the rules committee suspended Mr.. Mallon's
senate floor privileges and subpoenaed him to appear
before secret session Of the committee to tell the
source Of his story.
This was threat to jail Nj. Mallon for contempt
Of the senate Tor The rules committee knew that Mr.
AIaon would not break the confidence of his senator
ial informant
The rules committee thus was putting the senate
in the foolish and unjust position Of trying to punish
a newspaper man. who had violated no rule and no
law Tor the sins Of senators who had broken their
own secrecy rule. An added comic opera touch was
given by the widely known fact that certain members
Of the committee had themselves informed newspaper
men regarding secret session happenings in the past
It was clear from the start that the committee
could no more Inmdate the press than it could pre-
vent the press from obtaining and publishing So
rallied secret facts relating the public business The
counys newspapers were quick to rally in defense OF
the United Press rights affecting the basic condi-
tons Of freedom of the press throughout the country
This was the opportunity for liberal senator's led
by young La Toilette the United Press intinli-
dalton case to attack all secret sessions And before
the battle got wei uneer way, the committee die
hards turned tail and ran.

SALVAGE Roman Ship
u IGHT now Mussolini is draining

ID IGHT now NIussolini is draining
IN Lake Nenli to uncover two ships
on which the mad Emperor Caligula
once gathered his parasites and
companions in debauchery.
So far as is known, they are the
only Roman ships that can be
salvaged in anything like complete
form.
Rome had many ships-ships to
bring corn from Egypt and goods
from Asia Minor; ships to wage war
on many a distant coast; ships with
five and even fifteen banks Of oars;
ships on which the empire depended
to a large extent, not only for it's
supremacy, but for its daily needs
yet these two constructed to satisfy
the depraved tastes of a mad en-
perOr. alone survive.
Not only that but they are sup
posed to be more magnificent than
any Of the nun1berless ships which
the proud empire of Augustus ever
launched.

InSignificance of Fish

a S a younger man I did thrill to
L 4 the wild tug Of the five-ounce
perch, but that was before I owned
considerable block of United
States Steel. Now when I fish the
impulse is of the most fragmentary
sort.
What I really want to do is sit
in the sunlight, close to the heart Of
nature, and figure out how many
shares it would amount to if I
switched to American Locomotive.
There is nothing so conducive to
clear and cogent thinking as a
warm afternoon in May and a lake
where the fish aren't biting.
1t is said a mans life flashes be-
fore him just as he is going down
for the third and last time, I
wouldn't know. But at best that
sounds like a performance paced too
rapidly for any comfort.
AS I pumped the bait into the
water for the twentieth time
thought to myself, How character
istic this is of existence in general"
Life is like that. Man is a worm
doomed eternally to the barbed
hook, and bitter Illustration.

disease and almost 200 with the dis
eases of the heart, responsible for
more mortality than are any other
diseases in this country.
Hospitals of the nation have in
creased in number until today there
are almost 5000, as contrasted
with hundreds twenty-five years
ago.
Whereas some 300 or 400 nurses
were graduated from hospital train
ing schools in 1890, this year ap-
proximately $4,000 nurses were grad
uated and the cost of operating the
training schools is a part Of the cost
of hospital care.
Approximately one attendant was
required for each person in a hos
pital in 1910, while today there are
from three to four attendants for
each person in the hospital, in
Guiding doctors, nurses, orderlies,
staff clerks, laboratory workers,
engineers, maids, cooks, laundry
workers and whatnot These also
must be included in the cost of
medical care.
1t may be argued that the only
portion Of this problem that con-
Germs the physician is his own fee.
Such argument would not be true to
the ideals or the nature of the
medical profession. The care Of
the sick is the doctors problem.
To save in the cost of overhead
associated with the refnements of
modern medical practice, specialists
