The Address to Women

The President, in his address to American women
Friday was almost as reckless as he was in the one
four year ago. when he talked of abolishing poverty
Indeed. he laid claim to having made long strides in
that very direction.
I'VE have won that safety for them and for
vow" he said in describing what his administration
has done for homes farms savings bank deposits and
insurance policies For the future he pledged protec-
ton against new depressions security and indepen-
dence of the family and the home, wider opportunity
and equal opportunity for the individual development
of moral and spiritual equality in the nation
strengthening Of national ideals and national char
acter.
There is no doubt about the appeal which such as
pirations make to American women.
And women who devote more time to bridge than
to current affairs may accept with faith the Presi-
dents assertion that his tariff policy has prevented
his opponents from placing 'the fate Of American
workers and American farmers in the hands Of for
eigners'
Others however, may regard it with new skep-
ticism.
Those who know only vaguely what the President
was talking about when he referred to the Collier b
the Godsborough bill, the Gasque BILL the Rainey bin
and others, will accept his Characterization Of them
as threatening to destroy recovery"
Others, knowing the contents of the measures to
which he refers, will be inclined to argue
While the Hoover address to women doubt
intended to be attering many Of them may not have
found it So It did not assume an audience Of
thinkers.

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE

In addition to the poison that
they produce, and which is found in
the material in which they grow,
the germs also develop another poi
son, which gets into the human
body or into any living animal when
the germs themselves die and dis
integrate.
1t is believed that such secondary
symptoms Of scarlet fever and such
complications as infected glands, in
fected ears, generalized blood
poisoning and similar disturbances
are due to the secondary poison.
The Dicks developed a method of
testing the skin of human beings to
determine whether they were likely
to develop scarlet fever if exposed
to it.
Moreover, they found that injec-
ton of small amount of the toxin
or poiSon> would cause the human
being to develop resistance to the
disease.
Furthermore, they found that the
injection of 4 horse with this poison
would cause the horse to develop In
it's blood an antitoxin which was
Of value in overcoming scarlet
fever.
It should be realized, of course,
that the antitoXin may be given in

HofStadter Is Duped

TN the recent patronage deal, Hof-
l. stadter permitted himself to be
proposed and Endorsed by Tammany
hall for a seat on the supreme
bench; in other words, to accept a
job which pays $4,000 a year at
the hands Of the political machine
which he was supposed to have con-
victed of extravaganza and incom-
petence.
The bar association is indignant,
as we'll it might be, and w. Kings
land Macy, chairman of the Repub-
lican state committee, has called on
Hofstadter to repudiate his nomina-
ton for the sake of decent politics
But the average New Yorker takes
it all as a good joke. In the same
way, the average New Yorker takes
a 100000, 900 budget as a good joke,
and regards Acting Mayor Mckee
as a near traitor for attempting to
cut it.

Rule by One Party

THINGS have come to such a
l. pass that there are no longer
two parties in New York, except by
appearance.
1.-THE so-called Republican organ
izations are not bossed by their own
leaders, but by the Democratic
overlords.
Every election is preceded by
deals. and trades for a division of
patronage - Democratic leaders
parceling out certain local jobs to
Republicans in exchange for such
state or national jobs as Repub-
lican leaders can get for Democrats.
1t was this practice that brought
Senator Hofstadter into the lime
light.
Hofstadter headed the legislative
committee which was appointed to
investigate New York City affairs,
and for which Judge Samuel Sea-
bury acted as chief counsel.

Nea0 York City Is Convicted
of Dumbness; Too Stupid
to Help Itself.
NEW YORK, Oct. 8-New York
y City stands before the ma
ton convicted of dumbneSs. With
depression shrieking economy, with
man in the mayors chair ready
to enforce it, with machine politics
battered to a state of confusion, ano
with the stage all set for action.
the people Of New York still were
incapable Of freeing themselves
from boss rule.
1 is an epic in the fatty de-
generation Of public opinion, an
extravaganza in pure hickishness.
New York, center of banking. art.
culture and uncensored shows, is
unable to realize her sorry plight,
much less do anything about it.
FlnancierS have warned her that
she could not expect credit unless
the budgets were cut, and hun
dred cases have been cited to prove
how this could be done without i'm
pairing the public service.
But the Seabury investigation
goes for naught; Governor Roose-
velt's fight for clean government
becomes futile; and the ousting of
Walker merely makes room for an
other willing servant of machine
politics.

A Tribute to Hindenburg

Those shouting thousands of Germans who
trooped down the streets of Berlin to shout birth
day greetings for President Won Hindenburg repre-
sented when you stop to think about it, one of the
most encouraging factors in the entire European
situation today.
The celebration expression of the pro-
found loyalty and respect which the average Ger
man feels for the aging warrior, and that sentiment
is perhaps, about good bulwark as Europe today
possesses against disaster.
Germany is being pulled about sorey these days.
Revolution is hardly than hands breadth
distant.
Hitler, the Hohenzollerns, the Communists-all are
watching their chance all have strong public support
all would seize power tomorrow if conditions were
just little bit more favorable.
But in all this confusion, Germany has one thing
to tie tots salwart incorruptible old president
And it is that very feeling of confidence and love
which gives best reason for hoping that the
final outcome of things in central Europe will not
be as bad as it easily might be-
All this of course, is only another way of saying
that the intangible things in human affairs usually
are the most important
The feeling which large number of people hap
pen to have for one man is something you can not
put into the scales.
You can't measure it, as you Hitler's shock
troops; you can't dissect it, you dissect the
group which seeks to restore the Hohenzollern
dynasty
1t simply is there more potent than any of these
material things, just midas love for Gandhi
proved, not long ago, to be so much more potent
than any of the tangible elements in the Indian
equation.

So They Tell Me

A ND this estimate is based upon
IA the fact that any such emotion
runs counter to almost all human
experience. I knew boy of IA who
took to raising bees, and at the end
of the year he could discourse at
length and with interest upon the
habits of the hive.
He seemed to get a kick out OF
picking up all there was to know
about these cooperative insects.
But the trick lay in the fact that he
happened upon bees of his own &C
cord.
If anybody had sent him home
saying This is required reading,
and on Thursday we will have an
examination upon the life Of the
bee," he would have learned it
badly or not at all.
In all humility I ask whether it
might not be possible to arrange
schools in such a way that pupils

ORDINARILY, scarlet fever is
~ an acute infectious condition
which comes on suddenly, with vom-
iting, high fever, severe sore throat
and brilliant red spotting or rash
over neck, chest and back,
There also is likely to be a very
intense redness of the inside Of the
mouth and the tonsils, and an ap-
pearance of the tongue like that OF
a strawberry.
Usually the rash lasts from three
to five days. The fever goes on at
the same time. Then the fever
gradually disappears and the rash
fades.
From a week to ten days after the
disappearance of the rash, the skin
begins to peel or, as is said scien-
tifically, to desquamate.
Some years ago Drs. George F.
and Gladys Henry Dick found the
cause Of this disease to be germ
of the type known as streptococ-
Gus which produces poison or
toxin.
This poison or toxin is found in
the material in which the germs are
growing. When such germs get
into the body, they produce scarlet
fever.

tended to show that when there is
a low pressure area over one end of

the island to be depressed at the

OF course, the amount of change

Questions and
Answers

What is a cOngressman-at-large
and how is he elected?
He is a representative in congress
who represents a whole state in
stead of a congressional district.
Arizona, Delaware, Nevada, New
Mexico, and Wyoming each elect a
congressman-at-large because their
populations are not large enough to
be divided into districts. Illinois
since 1912 has elected two congress-
men-at-large, because the legisla-
ture did not create enough districts
to care for the number of repre-
sentatives required under the 1910
census. This year several states
have failed to enact legal redistrict-
ing laws under the 1920 census and
consequently all their congressman
will be elected at-large.
