THE SHOE DYE BLUES WITH
VARIATIONS

One authority, according to a clip
ping sent in by reader, asserts that
shoe dye poisoning nearly scares
everybody to death but never has any
serious consequences.
A young man dyed his tan shoes
black and wore them to a dance i'm
mediately afterward. He suffered
nitrobenzene poisoning with a fatal
outcome. The case was reported with
eight others which ended in recovery,
by DR.. c. w. Muehlenberg, Wiscon-
sin state toxicologist.
Shoe dyes containing nitrobenzene
are unsafe to apply to shoes on the
feet. Shoes so dyed should never be
worn within "a hours after the dye
ing.
The same authority" who asserts
the poisoning is never serious in
forms the public that when shoes so
dyed are worn too soon (before the
leather has dried OUT the heat of
the feet volatilizes the dye and it is
absorbed into the blood through the
skin of the feet. This is as logical
as the inference that the poisoning is
never serious. Why volatile or va
porize the poison if the skin is to
absorb 1t?
There is no scientific or experiment
tai evidence to support the assump-
ton that the dye or rather the SOL
vent used in the dye (nitrobenzene,
or in Europe anilin) is absorbed
through the skin. There is such evil
dence that nitrobenzene or anilin is
absorbed when the volatilized or va
porized liquid is inhaled, absorbed
through the lungs.

Slams Revolution

In an era where most revolutions
seem to aim at gaining absolute pow
er for one man or one class, it is
comforting to come upon at least one
that Is headed the other way.
European revolutions since the war
have headed away from democracy,
and have had a. dictatorship of one
kind or another as their object. But
the revolution in Siam has ended a
dictatorship and given the Siamese
a larger degree Of freedom than they
had before.
The kingdom of Siam was one of
the last absolute monarchies on earth
II the blessings of dictatorship were
all that some people seem to think,
the Siamese should have been salts

cient and decisive revolt, and they
now seem on the verge Of getting q
large degree of self-government. The
demonstration is rather ENCOURAGING.

A BYRD EXPLORATION
New York, July 1.-THE first time
encountered Admiral Byrd after his
historic polar exploits, he was half
dangling from the side Of his bed
peering into the black spaces between
mattress and floor.
Only section of his pajama-cla
back was visible. The object of his
search was-of all things-a collar
button. In few moments, it seemed,
he would have to hurry into a stuffed
shirt to attend a reception. Only a
few seconds previously sleepy
spokesman had escorted us through
the corridor, rubbing his eyes and
mauling his uncombed hair the while.

Answer-I did not say children who
grind their teeth have not worms.
They're just as likely to have 'em as
are children who do not grind their
teeth. Likewise children who have
worms are as likely to grind their
teeth as are children who have none.
A considerable number of children
have worms at one time or another,
and in only rare instances do the
worms cause any trouble. Certainly
there are no "sure signs" of the pres
ence of the common round worms in
the intestinal tract. The alleged
worm medicine" you mention is a
ridiculous concoction-a mere laxa-
tive, without particular influence on
the parasites.

Death and the Holiday
(MinneanOliS T.rih,,pel

With grim insistence on detail
that could only have been born Of
vast experience in the field of Stats
tics, a New York insurance bureau
has Staked its reputation as a prophet
on a tabulation which purports to
show the exact nature and extent of
the accidents which will occur in the
United States over the three-day
Fourth of July holiday.
According to the calculations of
this bureau. 600 men. women and
children will lose their lives in the
several thousand mishaps which the
weekend celebration holds in store.
The automobile will take the greatest
toll of deaths, 275, and 500 persons
will be injured in motor car acct
dents. Drowning will claim 200 lives,
while the remaining fatalities will be
caused by fireworks, sunstroke, heat
prostration, sports accidents, tetanus
poisoning, ETC.
1t is impossible to brush such fig
ures as these aside as the handiwork
of morbid statisticians who pretend
to have the gift Of prophecy. The
actuarial records of many years stand
impressively behind them. and while
the death lists of next Tuesday morn
ing may not bear out their calcula-
tons in every detail, it is safe to say
that the story they will tell will not
be essentially different than that
which has been predicated on Stats
tics Of the past.
Six hundred lives is heavy price
to pay for the privilege of celebrating
Independence day. and the sacrifice
is particularly tragic one because
so much of it could be averted with
little care and foresight on the part
OF every individual. Conceding that
certain number of fatal accidents
are unavoidable when millions of per-
sons turn to the beaches and high
ways for weekend holiday, the fact
remains that a certain large group of
casualties results from recklessness,
ignorance or folly. and can therefore
be classed as preventable. The cut
ting down of this group, of course, is
largely the problem of persuading the
individual that it pays to learn and
adhere to the simple rules of safety,
and that the only alternative to that
is to take the long and desperate
gamble with death.
If human life is cheap in this coun-
try, it is largely so because we refuse
TO take the easy, elementary precau-
tons which guarantee, to the indi-
vidual, the maximum of safety. But
for that refusal the statisticians, who
today can accurately predict the sac
rlfice of 600 lives in weekend acct
dents. would relate a much less mel
