Just Every Day Sense

This, as we see leaves Thomas with all the pulchri

He may not be an Adonis, but he's the best we

Coal Oil Poisoning Is Dangerous

Everything possible was done to
keep the child stimulated and to
restore his circulation and breath
ing, but the next day he died from
terminal pneumonia.
When coal oil is first taken into
the stomach there is a burning feel
ing in the mouth, throat and stom-
ach, collie in the abdomen, vomit-
ing and thirst.
If the poisons of the coal oil are
absorbed the patient develops
drowsiness, shallow breathing, fee
BILE pulse and turns blue, then be-
comes unconscious and not infre-
quently dies.
In grown-up persons who take a
small amount of coal oil or who
work for a long time in an atmos-
phere where they inhale great
deal of coal oil, symptoms develop
like those of a mild jag, which is
called "naphtha jag"
First symptoms are a sense of
excitement and lack of self-con-
troll; later, however, there is de-
preston, headache, nausea, roar

And Still If Pours

That old slogan now may be modified to read:
AS Texas goes, so goes the nation
For Texas has voted almost three to one in favor
OF resubmisson Of the eighteenth amendment, over
turning the erroneous belief that the Lone Star state
is as arid as its senior United States senator Morris
Sheppard, co-author Of prohibition.
All doubt about whether the nation wants to vote
again on the prohibition amendment seems to have
been diSpeled by the Texas result. While drys like
Sheppard might sniff at the outcome impartial OBJ
servers may observe that more than quarter mil
lion Texans can't be wrong.
Texas confirms the swing to the repeal side the
side of sanity in law and taxation. There was the
amazing upset in North Carolina which so definitely
shelved dry Senator Morrison There were also the
votes for repeal and modification cast by southern
delegations to the Democratic convention at Chicago
Them to bolster the Texas result, comes the vote
in the Indiana house of representatives for modfca-
ton of this states bone dry law
Repeal, if these portents are right is in sight

ing in the ears, irritation in the
throat and a trembling in the hands
and arms.
If a sufficient amount Of the fluid
is absorbed, signs Of shallow breath
ing, weak heart, commissions and
death follow.
Thus far medicine knows no
specific antidote for coal oil poison
ing. Therefore, under such circum-
stances the first thing to do is to
wash out the stomach and to give a
mild laxative.
Then stimulants are used to sus-
tain life and the patient is watched
constantly, to lend him such sup
port as can be given by medicine
for the organs that need it.
One physician suggested the with
drawing of a considerable amount
of blood from the veins and the
TRANSMISSION of additional blood to
take the place of the blood that
has had its oxygen carrying power
destroyed by the coal oil poisoning.
This method is, however, still ex-
perimental.

Peoples Voice

Editor Times-Once again a COM
placent Democratic majority in the
house of representatives contem-
plates appropriating $4,000 instead
of $125,000 for the Governor to
squander.
His contingent fund of $125,000
has been used as follows:
To employ the National Swine
and Stock Breeders Association to
show at the state fair in competi-
ton with farmers; $35 smoking
stands, red draperies and redecorat-
ing his state-owned mansion; con-
tribution to the Hoover banquet and
the Governors fiesta at French
Lick, and the noncompetitive bid
to clean the statehouse at a cost
of $4,000, in violation of the 1929
statute on contracts.
If this contract had been let law
fully, there would have been a saw
ing of $4,000 and the legislature
would have needed to appropriate
but $4,000 instead Of lis recon-
mendation of $4,000. \
Before the legislators appropriate
any money for the Governors con-
tingent fund, they should again
look at the statehouse and see the
bargain they got for S64,S00.
The Governor has stated, at is
my money; can spend it as I
please"
Quoting from the attorney-gen-
eral in his official opinion to Floyd
Williamson Aug. 10, 1881, in The alb
sence of express limitation in the
appropriation or other law, the Gov
ernor has a wide discretion ia the
use Of his emergency contingent
fund. There is no such express
limitation in either the 1929 ap-
preparation or the 1881 appropria-
ton to said fund :. if this au-
thority be deemed too broad, the
fault is in the law. q
AS the Governors fund has been
spent similar to the way a drunken
sailor would spend his, this $50, 600
emergency contingent fund is but
political pork barrel, and all tax
payers in Indiana should remember
that some of the legislators are up
for reelection, and others running
for the senate.

YikeS yellow Flowers
THE tiny butterfly known as Il

THE tiny butterfly known as the
i lesser sulphur butterfly has an
odor like that of dried grass or hav.
Clark says. A similar ordor is pos
sessed by the yellow clover but
terfly.
The yellow clover butterfly, Clark
finds, has decided preference for
yellow flowers.
If a cloud hides the sun, it seeks
place Of rest at once, picking out
yellow clover leaf or some other
yellow leaf.
This butterfly has a strong social
instinct and does not seem happy
without companions. A lone indf-
vidual can be decoyed by dropping
small piece of yellow paper on a
muddy spot.
another species which has a fond
ness for yellow flowers is the cloud
less sulphur butterfly. It has an
door resembling violets and musk.
One of the most common species
OF butterflies throughout the east.
perhaps, the most common of all is
the cabbage butterfly.
The male of this species, according
TO Clark, has faint odor like that
OF sweetbriar. 1t has a preference
for white flowers.
The cabbage butterfly, Clark saws.

superstitious lore, because one will

MiIkWeed Butterfly

A MOTHER butterfly which Clark
N finds has a distinctive odor is
the common milkweed butterfly Of
the eastern United States.
1t emits an odor like the faint,
sweet fragrance of red clover bios
SONS or the flowers of the common
milkweed.
This fragrant odor, however, is
emitted only by the males. Clark
finds that it arises from the scales
within little pouches on each hind
wing Of the male.
AS in the case of the fritillary, the
female has no such similar sweet
odor, but gives off E very disagree
able odor, which Clark says resem-
bles that of a cockroach.
The milkweed butterfly is a great
wanderer and strong flier. 1t is par
ticularly fond of flying along the
seacoast or the banks of a wide
river. Clark says that it has been
seen on the open sea 100 miles from
shore.
1t usually flies between 10 and Is
feet above the surface of the water.
1t flies with a speed of about 20
miles an hour and always in a
straight line.
An odor resembling that of
crushed violet stems is possessed by
the common blue butterfly of the
middle Atlantic states, Clark SAYS.
This butterfly is a woodland crea-
ture, found frequently in bushy
boys. 1t has decided preference
for white flowers.
Such preferences on the parts of
various butterflies for particular
flowers or flowers Of particular color
are among the most interesting facts
which Clark points out about but
terf1ieS.
The popular conception of q but
terfy is an aimless creature, fitting
about without destination or pur-
pose. Clark shows that each but
terhy has definite habits and tastes.

. Warning in History

HUMAN progress, as evidenced
l. l. by discovery, invention, and
the constantly changing use of
commodities, is superior to any
other force on earth. It suffers
nothing to stand in its way.
1t wrecks great industries with
out qualm or scruple.. 1t develops
revolution after revolution, which is
none the less genuine because blood
shed is lacking. 1t alters the habits
of work and life as no other force
has or can.
1t has transformed the external
aspects of civilization during the
last 100 years, and that, too, in
spite of law tradition and preju-
dice.
If statecraft is wise, it will leave
the march Of progress alone, refrain
from interfering with the natural
development of trade, and conf1ne
its efforts to helping and encourag-
ing improvements of every char
acter.
Statecraft is out of its sphere
when it attempts to manipulate
trade for taxing purposes, as all his
tory warns.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1932-07-27
A National Barrier

1T is all right to visualize trade as
l. taking definite channels and as
properly belonging to certain we'll
defined groups, but it is all wrong to
interfere with the natural processes
which determine where trade shall
go, or the area it shall cover.
Statecraft is powerless to make
over, geography, climate or the in
fluence Of common interests.
England could provide a market
for her coal by prohibiting the use
of oil, and Canada could provide a
market for her lumber by prohibit
ing the use of steel, brick and con-
crete.
Politicians have sense enough not
to undertake anything foolish.
They should have sense enough to
avoid these agreements to manip-
ulate trade which amounts to the
same thing in principle.

What of Nova SCotia7
XXTHAT the United States might

XXTHAT the United States might
w suffer and what she might
DO by way of retaliation, if England
and Canada were to swap lumber
for coal, is only one rock in the
road.
AS a Canadian province and a
producer of coal, Nova Scotia thinks
she ought to be allowed some say
so. Why should her interests be ig-
nored to make business for Eng
land? If western Canada needs coal
and if reciprocity is the order of
the day, why not buy it from home
folks?
Finally, there are the ultimate
consumers in both Canada and Eng
land, who will be charged with the
freight and who are bound to pay
more as the haul is heightened.

TITO have walked through Broad

right, as fellow may as well have
walked by his own few theaters at

No visitor, if he must see Broad
way for a first time, should do this

strange that summer could have

been raised to accept.
Winter may bring these descrip-

of appearing cynical and vacant.

OCCASIONALLY children drink
" kerosene or coal oil by mis-
take, and as result may develop
poisoning.
DR.. Julian P. Price has reported
four cases of children who drank
kerosene, one without any serious
effects; one with immediate collapse,
from which he recovered; one who
developed fever, difficulty in breath
ing, and later recovered, and one
who died.
The patient who died was white
boy, II months old, who while
crawling around the floor picked up
a container holding coal oil and
started to drink.
Immediately he began to cough
and attracted the attention Of the
nurse, who rushed him to the Office
of the family doctor.
The family doctor gave him some
sweet creram, followed by drug,
which caused the child to throw
up the mixture in the stomach.

Did the late Thomas Edison sue

denrod?
In February, 1929, Mr.. Edison said
that he had found more than 200
American plants yielding rubber in
some form or other, and Of them
forty were worth being cultivated
on large scale. He found that
rubber could be extracted from
goldenrod, and when vulcanized
would respond as well as caoutchoue
or ordinary rubber. Between 6 and
g per cent of rubber was obtained
by Mr.. Edison from a species of
goldenrod found In the Florida

Make Over Geography,
Climate, or the influence of
Common Interests.
NEW YORK, July 27.-Having
~ failed to get anywhere with
wheat and mutton. the Ottawa con-
ference tackles coal. AS a mere
matter Of political arrangement, the
coal problem looks simple.
Finland produces more coal than
she knows what TO do with, while
Canada is in about the same fix re-
garding lumber, and England must
look to other countries for lumber,
while the bulk of Canada is without
coal.
What more natural than to ex-
change the two commodities? What
better set-up could one ask for pro-
noting trade within the British
empire?
Should the deal go through, Eng
land could send coal by ship up the
st. Lawrence as far as Montreal,
and Canada could make use of the
same port for shipping lumber to
England. Should the st. Lawrence
be widened and deepened, as the
proposed treaty provides, the port
Of entry for coal and clearance for
lumber could be moved westward as
far as Toronto, or even Lake Su-
perior.
But-and this is one little bug
under the chip-should the deal go
through, the United States would be
deprived arbitrarily Of a certain part
of the Canadian coal market, which
she now enjoys, and of the English
lumber market.
Under such circumstances, would
the United States be justified in
paying half the cost of converting
the st. Lawrence into deep water
way?

But when men without collars,
even men who may have more
