THE mystery of why there is an
Il enormous increase of some
species of butterflies following
storms has been cleared by Austin
H. Clark, noted biologist of the
Smithsonian institution.
Clark, who has made a study Of
butterflies for many years, sets
forth his observations in a recent
publication of the Smithsonian in
stitution, titled Butterflies of the
District of Columbia"
The milkweed butterfly is one
that seems to increase greatly after
storms. Most of the new butter
flies noted are insects just newly
emerged from the chrysalids, Clark
found.
1T would seem evident" he says,
that the moisture provided by
shower enables many of these in
sects, previously prevented from
emerging by the dryness, to escape
from the chrysalids.
In the cases I have studied it
could not be due to the normal
appearance of late brood, as this
normally takes place gradually over
several weeks"
Butterflies, like birds and certain
varieties of mammals, have their
migrationS, Clark found, but these
movements differ in essential de-
tails from those of the higher AMI
mails.

rheumatic infections, and various
nervous disorders.
If the patient is put in the bath
with the water pleasantly warm
and the temperature of the water
gradually increased, it is possible to
raise the body temperature of the
patient to such extent that the
thermometer placed in the mouth
will record from 104 to 105 degrees.
Obviously such procedure is
potent for harm when wrongly
used, as we'll as for good if prop
erly used. Some people become
faint in a hot bath.
Patients with heart disease or
with a serious condition of the
blood vessels may be harmed by re-
naming in such a bath too long or
by being submitted to sudden
changes of temperature.

Another Stab?

Maternity and infancy aid again is in jeopardy
This time it is in the United States senate COM
MERGE committee that administration senators and
some southern Democrats seek to block vote on
this important piece of social legislation The vote
on the new es-Bankhead bill is said to be 10 to
TO- with the possibility that Senator Harris, (Dem,
Ga), now i'll, may cast the deciding vote
In view of its loud protestations in behalf of chill
drens welfare and public health protection it seems
almost incredible that the administration again will
assume the blame of letting this bill die in
committee
For seven years the Sheppard Towner act carried
on its lve-savng job. 1t saved 6OOOO American
babies But it was allowed to lapse in 1928 Revived
two years ago the Jones BILL it was defeated last
session by its administration friends"
Now, with its sponsors agreed to accept the pub
lie health service amendments with the budget bu-
reau acquiescent, with every responsible health and
social worker urging its passage as an emergency
necessity, the sort of administration methods
apparently are being used to kill it.

Our Crime Epidemic

a SITUATION such as we face
"A and such as is brought wildly
to light by this outrage calls for
steadiness.
We must not forget that, though
the Lindberghs case is by far the
most sensational of its kind, it is
still only one among hundreds, or
that kidnapping is only one phase Of
a crime epidemic.
1t is a thankless task to keep
On repeating how lawless this coun-
try has become, or how Indifferent
most people are to the known facts
of its disgracefuI record.
The malady has been developing
over a long period. It's inception

on the one hand, and diSreSpect

Laws and More Laws

MOT pausing to discuss the
IN money craze, disrespect for law
can be traced to the tremendous
volume of statutes and regulations
beneath which we have smothered
ourselves.
It is a paradox that, though this
republic was founded in fear of the
law, it looks to law as a cure for
every conceivable i'll.
The Lindbergh case hardly had
been reported before congressman
and legislators were on their feet
waving new laws.
And that's the way it always hap
pens. Let somebody slip on a ba-
mana peel, and there is sure to be
yell for more regulation.

cord.
I certainly do think a home, and
not just dreary walls, where each
really can enjoy living, would be
much preferred to pension. Then
they can have nurse care and their
folks could entertain them occa-
Sionally and, above all, go to call on
them.
1t is certain there is need to
remedy the situation. Perhaps the
state would consider building a
home or contribute to each county
money to meet this great need. Tt

that the real purpose of helping our

will allow me to voice my wall of
woe" through the columns of your
worthy paper?

dianapolis and have lived here for
almost nine years. l had hoped to
make this my home for the re-
mainder of my life. I have lived
with an open hand and have with
held from no man as long as I had
any means of support.
Now I have no work and can
not meet my obligations. I feel like
a faithful old horse that has out
lived his usefulness and has been
turned out to die, uncared for.
Has my past service merited no
reward? Is there nothing more for

for a few cents and a dollar. Of

DOCTORS URGE

SEAL CAMPAIGN

The effects of starvation ON the
children of war time Germany have
an especial interest for American in
our own hard times. the doctors of the
Minnesota State Medical Association
point out today.
Studies recently published in Ger
many show that the worst results OF
the malnutrition of the days immedi-
ately succeeding the war are being felt
in the young men and young women OF
II and Is who were tiny children OF
that da. The doctors cite this study as
warning to over Sanguine Americans
who somehow expect good to come from
under nourisllment, simply because the
effect of lack of food has not shown up
in current death rates.
The worst effects of depression will
be felt in lowered resistance to disease
ten and fifteen years from now, the
physicians declare.
"Under-nouriShmen in the. first five
years of life leaves its mark both ply
sically and mentally as the German
studies have conclusively shown. Es-
pecially, its victims are subject to vast
ing diseases, such as tuberculosis.
I'VE must exert ourselves to see that
the babies have proper food, first. Then
we must exert ourselves to see that they
have the proper health protection
The Christmas Seal organization,
now in the midst fits annual Christ
mas Seal sale offers as part of its pro-
gram, tuberculin skin testing of school
children to find infection with tuber-
culosis early and by proper hygienic
measure to protect the infected child
rem from future breakdown with the
disease.
This test is important in recognizing
the disease early before it gives clni-
cal symptoms in order that we may
protect all children in these difficult
times. Where public funds are lack
ing to carry on this work we must make
up for them by generously supporting
such agencies sthe Minnesota Public
Health Association.
Parents and school authorities are
urged by the physicians to see that
every child has physical examination

of public funds has necessitated drop
ping of school physicians and nurses.
The doctors themselves stand ready to
help.

The trend of motor vehicle fatalities
might be hkened in shape and growth
to fir tree. Back in the early days
of the century this tree stuck its head
above the ground and started shooting
upward with almost the speed of Jacks
bean stalk. Every year its branches
have spread wider and wider until it is
casting a shadow over our whole ma
tional life. Every year it has been
nourished by an ocean of gasoline ex-
ploding in the recesSes of powerful
automobile engines, and warmed by the
sun of complacent public opinion
No combination of efforts has ever
been successful in staying the growth
of this tree. For years the American
public has half realized that some tree
trimming ought to be done but has
either tried to do the job with pocket
knife or has decided to put it off until
tomorrow"
Two things have happened to this
tree in 1892 First, its nourishment
has dwindled gasoline consumption is
down seven per cent from 1891 Sec
ond, the American public has reached
for a stout axe and a sharp saw and
has started some honest-to-goodness
trimming. Government departments
and private citizens throughout the
country are making a determined ap-
plication Of proven safety measures.
AS a result, the 1882 branch of this
obnoxious tree win be shorter, less
menacing, than the year before-by
perhaps 5000 deaths. But more woods
men and better tools are needed Join
the tree-trimmers and let's clear up the
shadows that this towering giant has
cast over us for the past IS years!
