Handwriting
What 1t May Reveal.
BY MILDRED MoCKABEE.
~A 9Nh1~
IL CEAAAo@

TINE even, rounded letters Of this
writing apparently reveal to us
a lover Of housekeeping and its
L many duties. She perhaps Is
happiest when arranging her
furnishings in various pleasing combi-
nations. A desire to make beautiful
her immediate surroundings is perhaps
uppermost in her heart. Her home is
her castle" and in its care and man
agement she is seemingly absorbed
It is possible she Is by temperament
a mixture Of the old-fashioned and the
new-fashioned in the art of home
making. 1t Is quite likely we should
find her home equipped with the latest
IN labor saving electrical devices such
as washing machines and vacuum
cleaners. And yet 1t Is very probable
she feels that home canning and jelly
making are still an essential necessity
in the routine Of yearly household tasks.
Should she have children, 1t is prob
able that she has familiarized herself
with the best methods of child nutrition
and care. It is likely she has read
much on the subject. Healthy, normal
children in q clean home environment
would seem to encompass her most
cherished interests. In the work of
parent-teacher associations she would
dpRoACiAeAy VIC ddl clCl lSctI IncfIlDcI.
Knowing the value OF environment in
influencing childs life, she would
endeavor to bring comfort and cheer to
the homes Of underprivileged children.
She would be very wise, however to
cultivate some distinctly outside inter-
estS that would broaden her viewpoint
and insure against her getting into
rut." II she does not, as her chill
dren grow older and find their own in
terests away from her side. she will be
completely at loss for something to
occupy her mind.

even a whole lobe, which doctors call
atelectasis.
When we speak Of catching pneu-
monia, Of course we have In mind acute
lobar, croupous, fibrinous or pleuro-
pneumonia, formerly and more sensibly,
1 think, called lung fever. This dis
ease Is infectious, caused by a germ
Variously known at the pneumococcus,
pneumonia bacillus Of Priedlander,
microcococcus lanceolatus, diplococcus
pneumoniae Of Fraenkel, coccus Of
sputum septicemia Of Sternberg and
Pasteur.
All physicians Of large experience
have seen epidemics of pnsumonia, at
least household epidemics IN which one
person. after another intimately ex-
posed to the patient, as in caring for
him, comes down with the disease.
The incubation period - time elapsing
from moment Of infection till first
symptoms of illness DEVELOPS gener-
ally 48 hours.
Today all good physicians require the
nurse or other person In attendance
or In close contact with the pneumonia
patient to wear a suitable mask for
protection against the germ-laden spray
given on from the mouth when The
patent coughs cough spray carries as
lar as 10 or IL feet or talks (conver-
sation spray carries less than feet.
We know that the pneumococcus
commonly causes such varied illnesses
as tonSllltls, coryZa, pleurisy, even
arthrttiS and pericarditis, but as far
as can learn we have no convincing
proof as yet that one mans tonsilitis
or coryZa may or may not become an
other mans pneumonia or arthritis.
It Is merely my belief or notion that
the germ when virluent, that is, pro-
ducing disease. is versatile or ambi-
valent and not necessarily capable of
causing only the original form of dis
ease Thus / believe a scoundrel with
what seems simple coryZa may give
me pneumonia or something if 1 let
or conversation. OF course, I may be
all wet about this, but anyhow I'd
rather keep as dry as I can where Jer
there's mouth spray flying
Another thing we may not know,
but believe it is so, is that the pneu-
mococcus, when virulent, Is quickly
killed or rendered non-virulent or in
capable OF causing disease, by exposure
to cold air and to sunlight So don't
mind getting all wet when I'm out in
the cold and by myself. 1t is indoors
by the radiator that I hate to get
caught in the spray. Out in the street
ON snappy, cold day 1 have little
fear Of meeting guy with alleged
coryZa or sore throat, even shaking
hands with him and advising him to
see doctor. Indoors I'd rather dodge
the pest

Catching Pneumonia.

The term pneumonia means too many
different things. For example, a low
grade or insidious consolidation or liy-
erization Of the bases or lower portions
OF the lungs occurs toward the end Of
many illnesses, particularly chronic or
prolonged confining illness in elderly,
feeble folk Doctors call this hypo-
static pneumonia or congestion or
edema OF the bases. 1t is merely a
sign of failing circulation. We have de-
scribed broncho- pneumonia, otherwise
called capillary bronchitis and formerly
known as suffocative catarrh. Then
there Is tuberculosis pneumonia. a form
OF acute lung tuberculosis. Finally,

But we have persuaded her not to wear

cause that would detract from the

Now that the time has come to think

to the evening dresses you will wear.
Choose an ALFRED dress If you like, or
wear pure white or white with red.

MIGRATING TO NEW WORLD
By SCOTT NEARING, Federated Press

BY CeuerapeQ RreSS
There was an Old World and New World in
the nineteenth century Millions Of people seeking
to better their conditions of life left the Old World
for the New, and after having established them
selves in Australia, Canada, the United States,
wrote back to their relatives and friends to tell
them how much better were the living conditions
in their new homes.
There is an Old World and New World in the
twentieth century. The Old World is the capitalist
world, the New World is the Soviet Union. Mil
lions of people in the old capitalist world out
of work, suffering from short-time, wage-cuts,
and speed-up, froce6 to accept reductions In their
standards of living. The Old World is breaking
up. dying. Those who live there feel the agOnies
of its dissolution.
While the Old World is dying, the New World
is growing steadily. The Soviet Union alone
among the principal nations has escaped the pinch
of the economic crisis. Its production during 1881
will be 4590 greater than it was during 1880. New
buildings are being erected, new machines are be-
ing constructed, new factories are being manned
railroads are being built, new giant farms are
being organized. For all of thee activities the
Soviet Union is demanding young, strong, vigor-
Jus men and women-builders, who will be willing
these industrial workers will come from inside
the Soviet Union, but many will come from out
side.
Throughout Europe workers are responding ID

ongings and set sail for the New World.
Figure are incomplete but an estimate places tn
number of German workers who have recently mi
grated to the Soviet Union at 6O,OOO
Day after day these workers are writing bac
to their relatives and friends in the Old World
Frequently these letters are published in tn
hometown newspapers. These letters tell of full
time work at good wages; of the one rest day i
each five days; of the new up-to-date living quart
ers; of the abundance of good food at low prices
Especially do they emphasize the enthusiasm o
the workers for the new socialist world that

which they are in part responsible.
This migration from the Old World to the Ne

COMMISSIONERS PROCEEDINGS
BY HANS RASMUSSEN

Commissioners proceedings always interest
ing to me; interesting because there are so many
things do not understand and so many questions
like to ask
In glancing over the many items the first thing
l stumble over is: "F Ziebarth, $4,000" Mrs lie
barth is worth her weight in gold and know it
She is whirlwind when it comes to office work
but she is an addition 10 what was there before
The force has not been reduced and thought there
was some talk going around about reducing and
cutting down expenses. If the court house crowd
was overloaded with work, then am glad to see
Mrs Ziebarth step in and help them out, but if
she is just unloaded on the county and some job
had to be created" for her at time when c. C.
Johnston's abstract business is running low, then
somebody better hurry up and create some more
jobs the rest of us.
Marjorie Markuson, April salary, $17767" No
other superintendent IN the county was ever paid
more than $4,000 per month They claim she is
better looking than what was there before, and
that would be worth a lot to the county; that she
is from Medicine Lake should be worth lot more
l fully realize the commissioners couldn't turn
good looking girl down. know could never do
it myself and the secretary of the taxpayers as
ISOLATION is not a married man. We probably
ought to be thankful that it is only s177.67.

more miles, 50 lets have good roads

there was chance Of life time for rumber Of
