Look Out for Leg Pains
In the Legs Of Children
Maybe They're Only Result of Flat
Feet, But Need Medical Atten-
ton

st. Paul, Feb. 16.-Pains in child
ren's legs, once usually dismiss
ed as growing pains" may be a
symptom of the dread, disabling
disease, rheumatic fever, members
of the Public Health Education
Committee of the Minnesota State
Medical Association point out in a
bulletin issued today. Then again,
they may be merely the result Of
flat-feet.
In either case the complaint is
not one to be considered lightly,
one of the so called inevitable ills
of childhood which time will right.
Rheumatic fever in childhood is
an infectious disease, these author
tiles declare. Frequently it comes
on exactly as a heavy cold or sore
throat might and is spread in just
the same way. Later there is
painful soreness and swelling of
one or more joints, and high fever
so that anyone can recognize the
nature of the illness. Or there may
be merely indefinite pains in the
legs, coming and going in man.
ner that does not arouse suspicion.
More rarely the onset may be ac-
companied by chorea est. Vitus'
dance).
'"The serious thing, say the doc.
tors, sis not the pain, nor even the
danger of chorea, but the treach-
erous and Gripping effect that
rheumatic fever has on the heart.
This is the complication to be fear
ed"
Damage to the heart is so fire.
quent, according to child special
lists, that even where no valvular
injury can be demonstrated from
one to two months rest must be in
sisted upon in the ordinary case Of
rheumatic fever. When the heart
value is involved the period must
be extended to six months or one
year depending upon its condition.
OF course every pain in the juv-
emile leg is not rheumatic fever,
the doctors admit. In that event
look for a flat-foot. Or two flat
feet. In the absence Of flat feet
growing pains especially where
fever is present are likely to mean
a mild rheumatic fever.
Normal growth, the bulletin
asserts, is a noiseless, painless, en-
tirely comfortable process. Pain in
childhood is not normal and al
ways requires attention"

payment of the bonds and interest.
To the enthusiastic supporter of
road bonds this argument sounds
like that classic, eff we had some
eggs, we could have some bacon
and eggs, if we had some bacon"
The distrust of bond issues is deep
ly rooted in many rural sections of
Minnesota, however, and the issue
is still uncertain.
Unless the legislature, some day
in the future, should do such fool
ish and unthinkable thing as to
wipe out the present revenues Of
the state highway department, the
argument that the road bonds will
never result in the addition of any
ad valorem tax whatever seems I'M
answerable. The saving in main
tenance costs, alone, will liquidate
the bonds and interest. Labor will
get so per cent of the SIS, 400, 900,
and labor sorely needs it. Very in
teresting and competing, also, is the
declaration Of Mr.. Babcock that
this bond issue will bring Mime
sota's hard surfaced roads to a
point where no other road bonds
will ever be necessary. Mr.. Bah
cock estimates that after this one
bond issue he win be able to pave
$50 to 400 miles each year out of
his regular receipts.
Distinguished Guests
Welcome and distinguished
guests, among others, in the legis-
lature lately, were Governor Sam
uel r. Van SAINT, who came to
plead, and that right effectively,
for a Grand Army of the Republic
Encampment for st. Paul in 1892,
Charles Speed" Holman, who is a
mean flyer and no mean orator, and
Congressman Harold Knudson,
who got some hand-clapping for the
freedom of the PHILIPPINES. Thirty
years ago Van SAINT was governor
and the doughty champion of the
people who broke the lance of the
Securities Merger, and before that
he was Speaker of the house. More
than 40 years ago Harold Knud-
son was a slip of boy and a page
at session of the legislature in
the old capitol. He came back last
week, not to ask us for money but
to advise us to refuse it. Speakers
of that mind are rare birds in these
diggings.

Give and Take


The tedium of debate in the leg
islature is occasionally relieved by
humorous happenings and some
times by rapier like wit and re-
partee. w. I. Norton, the able
chairman of the rules committee,
as his friends say, or 'the boss of
the house" as his enemies love to
insist, is dangerous man to ask
questions of when thoroughly
aroused and under a full head of
steam in debate. He was especial
ly so in the debate over the paper
referendum" which caused the vets
and the drys to volley and thunder
in the house recently. Midway in
the afternoon Representative ].
Adam took the floor and delighted
the house and the crowded galleries
with his sallies of wit and with his
telling blows for the vets. Repre-
sentative Norton, for years a dry
leader in the house, spoke late in
the day, and the vets did not hest
tate to heckle him. On this occasion
Mr.. Norotn was a veritable buzz
saw, and most of those who had
the temerity to tackle him, soon
retired to nurse thier wounds. One
of the questions which J. Adam
Bede shot at Mr.. Norton he unfor-
tunately supplemented with the
statement that it had nothing to do
with the wet and dry issue under
debate. In flash Norton shot back;
mo, I know it hasn't; nothing you
have said today has"
When Irishmen get to crossing
words, something good is bound to
happen. At the conclusion of a
lively exchange between those two
masters of repartee, representative
John Regain and Representative
Ray Quinlivan, the latter finally
remarked: IT have heard that the
gentleman from Blue Earth, Mr..
Egan, is descended from the no
bility. I do not know whether this
is so, but I have seen occasions
when I have thought he ought
to be crowned"
However this may be, it may
quite truthfully be stated that Mr..
Regain has sometimes crowned
others who have rushed into de-
bate with him.
To Bond or Not to Bond
The highway bond issue has in
it the markings of one Of the hard
est fights at this session of the
Minnesota legislature. The scrap
has been brewing for weeks. Ad-
vocates of the $15,400,OO0 bond is
sue for the paving of the state
trunk highways, have been slew
footing for weeks, and claim to
have made many converts. Certain
it is, that the feeling against high
way bonds does not seem as strong
as it has in previous legislatures,
but in certain quarters it is just as
bitter and incorporating as
ever. The zero hour is this week,
when the issue is set as special
order in both senate and house.
State Highway Commissioner
Babcock's strong points for the
bonds are that they will never cost
the general taxpayer penny, that
they will relieve unemployment
more than any other single thing,
and that they will enable him to
pave so much Of the state trunk
highway system that another state
trunk highway bond issue will
never again be necessary in Min
nesota- These are powerful argu-
ments. A representative of twelve
farm bureau organizations at re-
cent hearing vehemently counter
ed with the argument that some
day a legislature may be elected
which will repeal the gas tax and
the auto license tax and shove on
to the shoulders Of the farmer the

elect nine congressman at large.
Want to Conserve, But Can't

Want to Conserve, But Can't
The legislature is faced with an
other problem which resembles re-
apportionment in that everybody
wants it and everybody disagrees as
to how to get it. One faction wants
a seven man commission of con-
servation, another insists on a five
man commission, while third will
have nothing but single comms-
sioner. On this rock the plan for
1929 for a comprehensive conser-
walton system was wrecked and we
begin to fear that the same old
rock may bring disaster in 1881.
Governor Olson, it is reported, fav-
ors commission, but will sign a
bill for a single commissioner. The
advocates of the commission of sew
en- are determined folk, however,
and they propose to fight it out on
that line if it takes decade of leg
islatures. They don't care whether
it's a seven-man commission or
seven-woman commission, but moth
ing less than seven, the perfect
number, will satisfy them. Their
enemies refer to them as the "Ob-
erholtzer crew." but they are not
to be sneezed at for they have the
backing of the Isaak. Walton
League, and that is something to
conjure with. The single commits
sioner crowd are full of fight; the
Legion, they claim, leans toward
them; they're Growing, too, over the
fact that they have a conservation
bill providing for single commits
sioner out of the Public Domain
committee Of the house by a unani-
nous vote.
This dispute recalls the fight in
the Legislature of 1921 which re-
suited in making Charles M. Bah
cock the Gar of the state trunk
highway system. The discussion
went on for several weeks in the
hotels, the corridors and the COM
mittee rooms, and it ragged for
three days on the floor Of the
house and senate before a single
commissioner was agreed ON. Theo-
dore Christianson, later to become
governor, was at that time a mem
Der of the house, and strongly ad-
vocated a commission of three per-
sons. Defeated on the first day by
fairly close vote, he came back
the second and third days with
modified commission schemes which
almost succeeded.
Parliamentary Law
How does it happen that rules
Of procedure for conventions and
assemblages Of the people are
called parliamentary law?" Con-
gresham w. I. Nolan, for many
years a member of the Minnesota
legislature, three times speaker of
the Minnesota house and three
times President of the Minnesota
senate, in recent talks given in both
the senate and the house, explained
how 1t came about. The rules
which govern the United States
senate and the United States house
of representatives are very differ
erent from each other and from the
rules which order the conduct of
business in the Minnesota legisla-
ture, yet all of them, Congressman
Nolan explained, are based on
Thomas Jefferson's manual of pro-
cedure. This manual was based In
turn on the rules which governed
the English Pertinent, hence the
parliamentary law" Of today.

and a member of the Legislature.
A committee on reapportlon-
ment in the Minnesota legislature
during the last decade has been the
last word in uselessness. Its chair
man has been a chairman and
nothing more, for his committee
has had nothing to do. 1t is diff
ferent this year. Strange to say
however, with plenty to do, the
committees on reapportionment in
senate and house meet and meet
and meet, and do nothing.
Everybody is afraid of reappor-
tionn. emit; that is, everybody ex-
cept the eighth congressional dis
trict in northeastern Minnesota. 1t
is afraid, too, but not OF reappor-
tionment, but that the state may
not get reapportionment. Schemes
that have been proposed thus Tar
to reapportion Minnesota's ten con-
gressional districts down into nine,
have left the eighth district prac-
tically intact. One scheme pro-
poses to add Pine county to 1t, an
other gives it Aitkin, and the latest
offers it Lake of the Woods county.
Nobody has proposed to take any
thing for the fear that there may
be no reapportionment and that,
with the election of nine congress
men at large, northeastern Mime
sofa may be euchered out OF a con-
gresham entirely.
A number of schemes to reduce
the state to nine districts have
been proposed. Most of the dis
tricts, except the eighth, object to
all these schemes. The fifth, Hen
nepin, doesn't care much, but it
does not look with much favor up
on one proposal to make all Henne-
pin. now constituting the Fifth
district and a part of the tenth, one
district. This proposal would give
the Fifth district a population out
of all balance with the other dis
tricts of the state and would give a
Hennepin voter only half a voice
as compared with other voters
throughout the state. Hennepin de-
mands about one and three-fourths
districts, but none Of the surround
ing counties want to be tail to the
Hennepin kite.
The Third congressional district
and Congressman Andersen appear
to be in the most unenviable posi-
ton. Most of the schemes pro-
oosod eliminate the third district
Probably by reason Of the fact that
It is the under dog, there seems to
be more sympathy for it than for
any other district. Besides it has
some powerful friends at court,
such as Speaker Swenson, Senator
Mckenzie, chairman of the republi-
can state central committee, and
other leaders house and senate.
Alabama, like Minnesota, has ten
congressional districts which must
reduce to nine. Alabama, like
Minnesota, was deadlocked over
the problem for a long time, but
one morning two Of the districts
woke up to discover that the other
eight had combined against them,
the state, and had left the
two unconsulted congressman to
fight it out between themselves.
Perhaps the legislature Of Mime
sofa will solve the Minnesota prob
lem before April %, but there is a

POOR PROPHETS
FOR BUSINESS
Hoover and His Aids Are
Little Wiser Than Aver
age Man on Future.
BY RAYMOND CLAPPER
United Press stan Correspondent

WASHINGTON, May 28.-Twice
within week the White House has
indicated it detected favorable fac
tors in the business situation.
But there we're no dogmatic pre-
dictions in either instance. because
through disheartening experience
the administration has learned that
in economic prophecy it is little
wiser than the average man.
President Herbert Hoover, nuner-
Gus of his cabinet members, Sena-
tor James <. Watson (Rep., Ind
and other Republican spokesman
have been criticised for INDUCING
in economic prophecy which time
has proved erroneous.
Therefore, the current restraint.
IN contrast with an earlier DISPOSE
ton to predict general recovery
within fixed period, carries some
OF the confidence which comes from
understatement rather than over
statement.
The administration is convinced
that the bottom of the curve has
been reached and that a slow climb
is in sight.
1t was exactly such situation
which caused President Hoover last
year to predict recovery would soon
be we'll under way, when the curve.
which had started up, suddenly broke
and went down farther than it had
during the previous nine months of
the depression.
The fact is, as any one can dis
cover by talking with two or three
of the best informed government Of
hcials, that they are about like the
average well-informed citizen.
They follow the market reports
and the trade statistics and try to
figure out hopefully what is going
on.
They have little information
which any well informed New York
banking house does not have or can
not get by half dozen telephone
calls.
