The desire is wholly in line with Mr. Hoovers persistent
seeking Of high grade for all positions at his disposal Il

for this Capital Of the Nation.
Mr. Hoover may find man Of the sought for type who

Under the existing law the President cannot go outside the
District for Commissioner His appOintees to the two posi-

There are not many nationally known figures dominating

Congressional and popular attack
The chairman Of the Board Of Commissioners Of this city
lord mayor Of London comparable to the high
position Of mayor Of any large American city he isn't

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
by DR.. Louis =. Bisch

DNEUMONIA Is the most fatal
= Of all acute diseases. It Is
also the most widespread.
Never. therefore. take any
chances when q member Of the
household suddenly shows symp-
toms which suggest. pneumonia.
Get the best medical care as
early as possible.
Remember that pneumonia de-
velops quickly and kills quickly.
IN 1884 Fraenkel discovered
the germ which causes this Sc
rious infection. He called 1t the
''pneuanococcIls."
Since then experiments have
shown that several types Of this
pneumococcus exist. It IS i'm
portant that the physician de
termine which type has 1T
tackled his patient early IN the
course of the disease 50 that, 4
possible, : serum may be In
jected which may prove hene-
fetal.
1t usually takes ABOUT three
days after d person becomes
infected for the first symptoms
to make their appearance.
a severe chill IS often the
very first sign. This may last
from is minutes to hall hour
or longer.
With the chill i fever Of lOS
Or more begins.
Pain in the chest, often Of q
severe, sharp nature. Is likely
to be present also.
Then there Is q cough. which
Is dry, short and painful.
Following these initial symp
toms, IN 8 day Or 50. the patient
Is very Frustrated, his cheeks
flushed, the breathing Is rapid
and often accompanied BY q
slight grlint after each expira
ton. Small watery blisters may
likewise appear on the lips or
nose. ExpectOration may con.
tain blood and is usually thick
and very tenacious ID charac-
ter
such are the signs Of pneu-
monia. III d person has d severe
chill which lasts long, accom-
panied or followed by q high
fever, IL Is best to call g doc
tor even before the other symp-
toms Of pneumonia show them
selves.
Absolute rest ia bed is most
essential In the treatment.
There should also be q quiet
room with plenty Of fresh air.
and sunlight.
These features IN treatment
must be stressed because the
heart Is quickly poisoned by the
pressure Of the pneumococc
organisms In the system and
consequently 1t Is weakened.
Although the patient should be
moved in bed so that the circu-
Iation in the lungs, which tend
to solidify in pneumonia, may
be kept as efficient as possible.
This should always be accom-.
plished without the patient ex-
erting himself.

session with the average man
to marry 8 girl who is too

LIE new Ford is more than
new automobile. It is the expression Of an
idcal-an ideal that looks to bringing the
benefits Of modem transportation to al the
people.
Because Of this purpose, the price is low
and great eare has been taken to insure econ
omy Of operation and up-keep. Few features
are Of greater importance to millions Of
motorists. - -
CONSERVATIVE figures show that The new
Ford averages 20 miles per gallon Of saso-
line, with many Ford owners reporting greater
mileage On long trips. Oil consumption is
also low per hundred miles. There is con-
siderable saving on tires due to the balance
Of the cat, ease Of steering and perfected
wheel design.
