is president of nothing but the American Antiquarian
Society," but there is no great probability that the
colonel who got his title by serving Governors
staff will follow the Coolidge precedent.
This sudden increase in crime which followed on

Canada does the restraint would be easily multiplied

tack the germs and pus Is formed
in large amounts.
The tissues then begin to wall off
the infected area; pocket is
formed with a center of degener-
ated and injected material.
One Of the great dangers of such a
condition is the breaking down Of
the wall of resistance and the
spread of the infection throughout
the body.
When the physician is called to
examine such a case, the first thing
he does is to determine whether
any contributing diseases mentioned
is present.
If it is. he at once takes steps to
control it, limiting the amount of
carbohydrates and of sugars that
are taken into the body.
He will relieve the pain by the
application OF hot moist dressings.
These serve also to bring more
blood to the part affected and aid
the attack upon the infection.

puS or infectious material is present

NEW YORK has just lived
4 through the most extraordinary
riot in its history. 1t was neces-
sary to call out the police reserves
because a mob of $500 people
fought to get into the Museum of
Natural History to hear about the
EinStein theory.
In former days people rioted about
bread and beer, but this time collars
were torn and heads Dashed for the
sake of science.

----DAILY HEALTH SERVICE-----
Carbuncles May Prove Serious

the carbuncIe or boil must be
opened and the infection permitted
to drain.
The physician does this carefully
so as not to break down the retain
ing wall and spread the infection.
The pus should be withdrawn as
rapidly and completely as possible.
If the infection seems to be
spreading, it is customary to inject
a local anesthetic around the in
fected area at a distance for enough
to be in sound area and then to
open the infected area widely so as
to be sure that all infectious ma
terial is removed.
Nothing breaks down the health
of human beings so quickly and
certainly as long continued in
lection.
Hence it is advised that patients
who have been suffering with
multiple boils be provided with a
good routine hygiene which will
build their general resistance and
prevent continuous formation Of
new infected areas.

The matter should be taken up
again by our new administration and
definitely. If not legally acquired,
the city should realize a handsome
rental for past and future use of
the canal, as we'll as for the use of
other public property, namely, our
streets.
If these were owned by individ-
uals, they would not be given up
without financial returns. Now is
the time for a real business adj
ministration and an opportunity for
the mayor and the city utility dis
trict to make themselves a name
for posterity to bless, by starting
the ball rolling for municipal own
ership of the water works. There is
plenty of capital right here at home
for safe investment.

MuSSoIini Fooled

THE situation in Italy furnished
IL a vivid illustration of how lack
of work, OF low wages, can upset the
best laid plans.
Having brought Italy under FaS-
cist rule, having stopped strikes and
suppressed political discord, having
devised a system by which mer-
chants, manufacturer and farmers
were to cooperate for the coun-
try's development, and having es-
tablished what looked like a sure
fire dictatorship, Mussolini started
out to increase the birth rate.
He wanted the population of Italy
to be 100000 by the end of the
century, he said, and with that end
in view, taxed bachelors, authorized
bonuses for children and auto
graphed his picture to be hung in
the homes Of large families.
Most people took it for granted
that Musolini would succeed.
He had accomplished so many ap-
parently impossible tasks that no
one doubted his ability to accom-
plish this one
France began to make plans for
a greatly enlarged Mediterranean
feet, and every international con-
ference proceeded on the assump~
ton that not only stronger, but
more populous Italy would have to
be reckoned with in the near future.
For once Mussolini was wrong.
Instead of rising, the Italian birth
rate is falling.
In some of the cities like Bologna,
Florence. Fiume and Trieste there
were more deaths than births in
1929.

How many actors are employed in
raoving pictures in the United
States?
The changes in production make
it impossible to say exactly how
many actors are employed in the
various film companies at one time.
Generally speaking, there are about
three hundred major actors. Of
whom about seventy are stars. There
are probably 1000 actors who re-
ceive screen credit by having their
names published in the cast. Eleven
thousand extras are registered at
the central casting Office, although
only about $50 requests for extras
are received daily.

is often sprinkled over it after it
has been cooked and is ready to

Einstein's Unified Field
Theory Held Outstanding
Contribution of Year to
Progress of Science.

A S the world entered upon the
"A year 1880, scientists inter
viewed in Des Moines at the annual
convention of the American Asso-
citation for the Advancement OF
Science, agreed that Professor Al
bert Einstein's unified field the
ory' was the outstanding contribu-
ton of the year just passed to the
progress of science.
They felt that its Importance
exceeded that of the feat OF the
Graf Zeppelin in circumnavigating
the globe, the marvellous strides in
television, or any of the other &C
complishments of egineering or
applied science.
The field theory" is an abstract
and highly complicated msthemau-
cal paper showing how it Is posi-
Bile TO deduce both the law govern
ing gravitational phenomena or q
"gravitational field" and the laws
governing electromagnetic phenom-
ena or an electromagnetic field"
from the same mathematical form
ula.
In attaching the Importance
which they do to this abstract
mathematical formula scientists are
taking their cue from lesson OF
the past.
When the great English mathe-
matician, j. Clark Maxwell, pub
lished his electromagnetic theory
Of light it was just such a mathe-
NAUTICAL puzzle as Einstein's new
theory is at the present moment.

Work Has Become the All
Important Factor IN Cir
ii<ed Life.
SAYS:

A CCORDING to information
4 n compiled by the national in
dustrial conference board, the Amer
lean people are paying more than
twelve billion dollars a year for gov
eminent in one form or another.
Assuming that the country's an
nual income amounts to ninety bill
lion dollars. this means that two of
every fifteen dollars earned go into
the public treasury.
1t also means that the cost of gov
eminent equals more than 500 for
every man, woman and child, or
more than $500 for the average
family.
OF the total amount require for
governmental expenses, about one
third goes to Uncle Sam, somewhat
less than one sixth to the states and
a little more than one-half to
counties, cities, towns and districts.
Whatever it may have lost by way
Of liberty, local self-government still
makes the lions share Of the cash.
Since 1923, the per capita expense
OF the federal government actually
has gone down. while the per capita
expense Of state government has
gone up less than SO.
The per capita expense of local
government, however, has gone up
more than So.

AMERICAN FLAG
Jan. Is

I'm Jan. 10. TIT, congress decided
~ the thirteen United States
needed an American flag emblemat'c
of their union.
Although flag of thirteen stripes
had been. displayed previously, it
was not until June IA, TIT, that the
continental congress passed reso-
hutton that the flag of the thirteen
United States be thirteen stripes, al
ternate red and white; that the
union be thirteen star, white in a
blue field. representing new COIL
stellation."
Origin of this design has been the
subject of much controversy, though
many writer's have considered it to
have been suggested by the coat Of
arms of the Washington family,
which contains both the stars and
stripes.
Paul Jones claims to have been
the first to raise the stars and
stripes over a naval vessel. and it
seems that the first use of the new
flags on land was at Ft. Stanwix,
where a hastily improyised emblem
was raised Aug. 8. l777.

A CARBUNCLE is an infection of
4 ~ the deeper layers of the skin
and of the tissues under the skin,
usually caused by a germ Of the
streptococcus group.
When the resistance of the It's

such conditions as ru)- ing with a
saw-edge collar on the back of the
neck, the projecting edge of a
broken corset steel or from similar
material, wnen the person has dia-
betes or Bright's disease, or diet
containing too much of some sub
stances and not enough of others,
the tissues fail to exert sufficient
defense to prevent the streptococcus
from setting up it's infection.

Work Is AII-Imporant

TT GOES without saying that
L. much of this increase in the cost
Of government is due to a public
demand for better schools, better
roads and better police and fire
protection, and better service all
along the line.
But some Of it is due to such ar
bitrary salary raises as recently
occurred in New York, when the
mayors pay was jumped from $25,-
900 to $4,000 year, and that of
his principal associates in proper
ton.
Under such circumstances, it is
refreshing to learn that Detroit
firemen turned down a S per cent
raise, which would have Amounted
to $216,000 this year, and which, as
Captain Joseph A. Creed puts it,
Should be used to employ men
who need work for the necessities
of their families"
Work has become an all-impor-
tant factor in civilized life.
Under the old order, men could
provide it for themselves, but under
the new order they can not.
Organized industry has made
work social problem.
1t now is generally recognized
that governments not only are
obligated to help people find work,
but provide it in cases of emer-
gency.
Not only that, but it is recognized
that failure to do this may involve
dangerous results.

An Old Lesson Relearned

IoeaS are like dynamite, perfectly harmless if
exposed to the air; very dangerous if confined.
This is an old lesson, but one, it seems, that must
be relearned over and again by excitable and
prejudiced Americans Los Angeles lust has re-
learned it.
DR.. Frederick w. Roman eminent author, traveller.
and educator, was scheduled speak on Soviet Rus
Sla, which he recently visited in series of talks
before the Los Angeles teachers institute Some one
discovered that he "blackIisted" along with
Bertrand Russell and Others by the womens advisory
committee of the Los Angeles county Republican
central committee
He was suspected as a red, a harborer of sub
versive ideas. The G. O. P. ladies aroused the Con-
gress Of Parents and Teachers. These aroused the
Los Angeles school board The school board brought
pressure upon the institute program committee Dr.
Roman was asked to withdraw lecturer.
The other day DR.. Romans Soviet lecture was
printed in full in Los Angeles newspaper 1t proved
shock to the patroteerng ladies' for it wasn't even
pink. 1t was highly critical of the Soviet regime
Had DR.. Romans talk stayed corked up, that very
fact would have given color to the that one of
Americas big educators red. 1t certainly would
have given the reds another argument in their claim
that free speech in America is joke. Uncorked it
proved harmless.
How long will it take us to learn to trust in the
sanity and the safety of free speech?
