nature Of the disease it never viii de-
velop, there is reason to believe, into
a great epidemic claiming hundreds of
victims. Its outbreaks viii remain
localized around the nucleus of sick
parrot. The syndrome is quite close to
that of influenza and very likely some
cases have been wrongly diagnosed.
But any disease of this kind is dan
gerous. The phenomena of epidemics
are still mysterious. For years there
will be mild outbreaks of a malay,
claiming a few victims here and there
and not considered very seriously by
the general public. Suddenly the dis
ease will become extremely virulent will
sweep like a death-dealing wind over
great areas of population, and will take
its toll by the thousands. Then the
disease will lose its extreme virulence
and in a few years the status will be
the same as before the epidemic. No
body knows just what transformation
is wrought in the causative agencies of
the malady.
Psittacosis has been known in the
world for over sixty years. 1t has
broken out here and there, taken a
few victims, and then subsidized. There
have been long lapses between its ap-
pearances and its ravages have been
closely circumscribed. The present
outbreak has been reported from places
as widely separated as the Argentine,
Germany and five or six American cities.
Possibly all have arisen from one lot
OF birds divided into several shipments.
1t is possible, however, that it may be
prevalent among parrots everywhere.
This is no time to take chances. The
only safe measure is to shut them out
altogether. The value of these birds
in the household is purely decorative
and sentimental. They are useful in
the scheme of nature only in their
native forests, or in scientific labora-
tories. Many will feel that all the par
rots in captivity are not worth a single
human life, and the soundest senti-
mental reaction, so far as the birds
themselves are concerned, would be to
leave them in the trees where they are
happy, instead of forcing upon them
a dollhouse existence.

The Ban ON Parrots.

President Hoover has seen fit to issue
an executive order against further i'm
portation of parrots until the psittacosis
outbreak throughout the world is
checked. Even extreme sentimentalists
on the subject of pets should not object
to this sensible and timely move to
protect the American people against a
deadly and somewhat mysterious malady
which unquestionably has gained foot
hold in the country. The President has
acted upon sound medical advice.
There is no disposition among medi-
cal authorities to exaggerate the dan
gers Of parrot fever. From the very

Other unfair methods of competition
charged against the respondent were to

1t is not set down here as a fact,
but one believes that it was this last
dictum from the Federal Trade Com
mission that led the respondent to give
up and cease and desist forever. Imag-
Inc the CONSERVATION that must have
reigned in the ONCE of said respondent"
when the wires carried the news that
the Federal Trade Commission had for
mally declared that "Vigor to men,
slender figures to women and reduction
OF flesh in all cases will not necessarily
result from the smoking of respondents
brand of cigarettes" Large, salty tears
must have rolled down the kind but
stern faces of the cigarette barons when
they read that statement. To have
fought so hard for slender figures for
women, to have striven so well for
vigor in men, only to learn that such
things do not necessarily come from
the smoking of respondents brand Of

Down With slendernessI

OF all the sweet battles won by the
Federal Trade Commission in that
agency's crusades to protect the public
none is more impressive than the fact
that Respondent, corporation, en-
gagged in the manufacture of cigarettes
and other tobacco products, entered
into the following stipulation of facts
and agreement to cease and desist for
ever from the alleged unfair methods
of competition as set forth therein"
Among the alleged practices from
which the respondent agrees to cease
and desist forever are the publication
of testimonials and Endorsements "pur-
porting to be that Of certain actresses
in q musical show who were credited
with the statement to the effect that
through the use Of the respondents
cigarettes that's how we stay slender, "
when, as a matter of fact, the commits
sion declares, "the said actresses were
not cigarette smokers and did not stay
slender through the smoking Of re-
spondent's products" In another case
the errlng corporation gave publicity TO
a radio testimonial setting forth as fact
that well known musical comedy star
who, while engaged in making a talk
ing picture, smoked that brand of
cigarettes manufactured by respondent,
and which because of the special treat
ment employed in the manufacture of
said cigarettes, had been freed from all
irritants with the result that the smok-
ing Of said cigarettes kept the alleged
author in good shape and feeling poppy
and his voice as clear as bell in every
scene, when in truth and in fact the
aforesaid comedy star authorized the
aforesaid testimonial and received q

attributed TO him, but which statement
