"GOeS Wild Over Every Woman

Dear Miss Fairfax:
We've been married six
years. We are very happy
when we are left to ourselves
and my husband has no one
to cut up with; but whenever
a girl friend or a neighbor
drops in to play cards, he
seems to think he's got to be
the life of the party. When
any other girl is around he
forgetS me completely, and
goes wild over any woman who
will listen to him cut up and
wisecrack. I am a quiet, Seri.
GUS person, and this is simply
driving me mad. M.
My dear girl, please do not
take your husbands craving for
an audience too seriously. Like
Mark Anthony, he wants some
one to lend him their ears.
This is a form of release for
many tired business men. Are
you sympathetic with his de-

DON'T EXPECT TOO MUCH
FROM COLD "REMEDIES''

In autumn people remain indoors
more, and susceptibility to colds in
creases. The hazard is greater also
because, with the opening of school,
contagious and infectious diseases are
more prevalent.
These maladies, such as measles,
and other diseases common to chill
dren, generally appear with symptoms
comparable to those of cold, says DR..
F. J. Cullen, of the Federal Food and
Drug Administration. Mothers should
be on their guard against such
troubles and should realize that medi-
cines ordinarily used for colds are of
no value in the treatment of more
serious diseases.
For many years scientists have
been working to find the causes and
proper treatment of colds" Doctor
Cullen states. $50 far their work has
been of little avail. There are medi-
cines on the market recommended for
colds but their main benefits are re-
lief from some of the symptoms. The
individual must trust to more reliable
measures to remove the underlying
causes.
Some manufacturers, through their
advertising, lead a purchaser to be-
lieve that their products will not onlv
cure colds, but likewise prevent
pneumonia, sinus infections, and 9TH
er serious maladies. Such declarations
are not based on facts. While the ad-
ministration at present is not taking
regulatory action against products
recommended for the relief of a
symptom of cold, it is removing
from the market preparations falsely
and fraudulently labeled as having
remedial value in the treatment of
diseases such as influenza, the symp-
toms of which are similar to colds"

Of
Autos To Begin
On October Is
All Cars Must Be Checked Dur
ing Save-A-Life Campaign
Which Winds Up Nov. 80

Four new items-tires, glass in
windshield and windows, muffler and
operating icense-have been added
to the list of motor vehicle factors
to be inspected this year during the
Save-A-Life Compaign, which will
be conducted from October Is to No
vember 80, E. Austin Baughman,
Commissioner of Motor Vehicles, an
nounced last Saturday.
Heretofore, we have required only
brakes, lights, horns, steering me-
chanism, windshield wipers and rear
view mirrors 30 be in good shape"
the commissioner explained. "By
extending the inspection we hope 10
insure greater safety.
"No sensible person will deny that
much-worn tires, especially those
with the fabric showing are extremely
dangerous. It is either suicidal or
homicidal to speed in a machine
equipped with tires in this condition.
"Cracked glass in windshield or
windows is also dangerous. Frag-
ments Of it may be dislocated by a
jar or a strong wind, and injure
occupants Of the machine.
"The muffler is not very important
as a safety factor, but when it is
noisy it can be extremely annoying.
The law requires an adequate, that
is, silent muffler. Only a half-wit
would think of Directing to an effort
to lessen the din on our streets.
1--WE shall make a check of all
driving licenses to prevent those
whose permits have expired, or have
been suspended or revoked from OPP
Grating.
Motorists who regard this annual
campaign Of inspection as an un-
necessary inconvenience should re-
member that accidents don't hap
pen-they are caused"

John Walker. of LOG N. johnson ST.,
Big Springs, Texas, would like to
reply to Admiral Sims statement that
the Spanish War lasted only ia days,
and that more than 100000 engaged
in it. Nearly all the men have PEN
sions costing now $4,000, 900 a year.
According to Admiral Sims, that is
disgrace.
John Walker says he draws pen.
sion as a Spanish War veteran. He
served in the Spanish-American War
in 1898, the Philippine insurrection in
1899, all of 1900 and up to June 8,
1901, and calls that more than ia
days.
Mr.. Walker cannot understand why
Admiral Sims, retired, should get a
good big pension. whereas he is be-
grudged very small pension.
In the opinion of this writer, all
pensions, honorably acquired are
good for the country. They spread
cash where it is needed, and that's
as important as scattering rain where
it is needed.

Recently Acquired
Parrots Should Be
Handled Carefully
DIR. Riley Warns OF Dangers
OF Parrot Feyer-Recalls
Outbreak In Maryland

Because of a flare-up in different
parts of the country, of psittacosis,
parrot fever, to give the disease its
more common name, government
authorities are taking steps to pre-
vent the spread of the disease. U. S.
Interstate Quarantine Regulations
adopted recently, on the recommends
tons of the United States Public
Health Service, require every inter-
state shipment of parrots, parrakeets,
live birds, or other birds of the parrot
family, to be accompanied by certi-
ficate from the proper health authori-
ties to the effect that the bird or birds
in the shipment have come from breed
ing centers or other distributing es-
adjustments that are free from in
lection. The Regulation was adopted
September %, and became effective
Immediately.
Warnings of the danger of contract
ing the disease from infected birds
have been issued by the Public Health
Service through DR.. Hugh S. Cum
ming, Surgeon General of the Service,
and the cooperation of State Health
Officers has been requested in the en-
forcement of the Interstate Regula-
tons. In directing attention to the
warnings, DR.. R. H. Riley, Director of
the Maryland State Department of
Health, said: "The U. S. Public Health
Service advises all persons to avoid
contact with recently shipped or &C.
quired birds. Several cases of parrot
fever have been reported recently to
the Service, five from Minneapolis,
with on death; and one from Idaho.
Twelve cases, with six deaths, were
reported from California between De-
cember 1, and February 10, of this
year. Cases have also been reported
from New York City and Oregon.
"Marylanders will recall the out
break of parrot fever during the win
ter of 1929-1930. The ealiest cases and
many of the other cases recognized at
that time occurred in Maryland. There
were also several cases in Maryland,
as well as in other parts of the coun-
try, among laboratory workers en-
gagged in discovering the sources of
the disease and in finding means in
combating it. DIR. William Royal
Stokes, Chief Of the Bureau of Bac-
teriology Of the Baltimore City De-
partment of Health, was among the
martyrs of science who lost their lives
in this way.
THE outbreak of 1880 was wide
spread. Cases were reported from fif-
teen states and the District of Column
bia, total of 1853 cases with 80 deaths
Of the total cases, SO occurred in
Maryland, "a in Baltimore City, and
IL In the counties. All of the cases
that winter were traced to infected
birds brought in mainly from South
American ports and sold through pet
shops in different parts of the country.
AS result of special study made
recently at the invitation of the Cali
fornia State Department of Health, by
medical officer of the U. S. Public
Health Service, the infection was
found to be present in some of the
breeding aviaries in the southern part
of the State.
