Enjoying Our Parks

1t is worth noting that in this year of depression the
national parks have enjoyed an unusually heavy patron
age.
Last year more people visited the PARKS than ever
before-more than 2, 700, 900. But by Aug. 8 of this year
ydication that the 1880 record would be broken by the
end of the season.
Probably many of these visitors were people who
would have gone to Europe if times had been better. But,
however that may be, the growing popularity of the
parks is an encouraging thing. If the depression has
persuaded more people to "see America first, it has &C
complished something worth while.

Scourge of Common Cold

DR.. John +. Barnhill, president Of the American
Academy Of Ophthalmology and Otolaryngology, express
ed the hope that medical science may soon be able to
develop a serum that will lick the common cold; and
while this little malady does not rank as one Of the great
scourges of mankind, there is little question that such a
remedy would cause about as much general rejoicing as
any that medical science would offer.
The common cold-and how apt that adjective is
causes an incalculable amount of misery. 1t has an amaz-
ingly high economic cost, too, through the number OF
working days that it takes away from business and in
dustry each year. Furthermore, it very frequently paves
the way for more serious diseases. If medical men can
finally conquer it their names should go on the tallest
monument that can be built.

Air Transportation Progress

The steady increase in commercial aviation's safety
factor is strikingly illustrated in the recent report from
Assistant Secretary Of Commerce Clarence M. Young.
During the first six months Of this year commercial
transport planes flew a little better than 10000, 900 miles,
and nine passengers lost their lives. In the first six
months Of last year the planes flew less than II, 900
miles and killed % passengers.
The only thing that stands in the way of a tremendous
boom in the air transport business is the fact that the
average man still has a faint, lingering fear of trusting
himself to an airplane. Let commercial aviation hang up
just a few more records like this one and the last traces
of that fear will vanish.

Daily Health

Many years have passed since the
medical procession first recognized
the Importance Of removal Of in
fected tonsils because Of their re-
lationship to disease. Tonsils are
sometimes removed simply because
they are SO greatly enlarged as t.
interfere with swallowing and
breathing. Between this simple en-
largement and the severe states of
infection in which the tonsils are
filled with pus, there Is a wide
variety o. possibilities.
Much investigation has been lone
to prove that the infection in the
tonsils may be carried by the blood

Petticoats Behind Mutiny

Nothing in all Of the stories about the British naval
mutiny has been more interesting than the following lit
tie paragraph, taken from a cable dispatch from London,
"The men will be granted weekend leave and will
have a chance to talk over the recent events with their
wives, who are blamed by many officers in naval circles
as the real originators of the strike"
This provides an unsupported angle from which to
view the whole affair. Navy Jack is apt to be a married
man these days. He isn't the carefree, FOSTERING rover
of the old days. When his pay is cut the little woman
will call it to his attention just as she would if he were a
factory hand.
The British government, one imagines, may have a
tough time smoothing its naval unrest down if it fails
to take the wives into account.

laughed when the baby was beside
her. making its strange gurgling
noises. gazing at the ceiling with
blue eyes OF ineffable depth. She
always called him Mark and the
name apparently failed to arouse
painful memories.

the hallway and down the street.
There was scant breeze In the
street below. Men and women and
children loitered on steps and about
the entrances OF buildings. seeking
relief from the heat indoors. Dark
ness hid much OF the streets ugli-

Chris and Norma turned a corner
and cool. refreshing wind whipped
their cheeks.

cried. why didn't we come down

the block biz raindrops began fall

the time they had reached the
apartment building the rain was
coming rapidly. Safe In the shelter
OF the entrance the girls waited and
drank in the chill. fresh air.
There was no more said that ave-
ming about Norma's forebodings or
the promise Chris had made. The
rainfall continued several hours
and even the stuffy apartment be-
came less like IN wen. BY morning
the heat wave seemed definitely
broken.

The long hospital corridors

No one was I'm sight but from rooms
beyond there came hints Of mHffled
activity.
Chris stood In the doorway Of a
waiting room. looking down the
hall. She was pale and her hands
were gripped together. Her lips
were a tight red lire that wayered
u~nsteadlly. Chris eyes. eager. fear
full. sought the end OF the corridor.
No one appeared.
She turned to the young woman
at the desk. Are you sure you'll
