XXTE are ashamed of ourselves
w and of the system which
makes such cold FLOODED atti-
tude seem necessary. Not only
that, but we are getting worried
about its effect on our moral con-
ceptions and social order.
We see our attitude toward
hitch mixers reflected in business
and law, see the mass being Or
gained and regulated to safe
guard society against few NAL
contents, see charity become a
matter Of experts and statistics,
see the natural sympathy of men
for each other drying away.
1t is a paradox that the very
type of life which has thrown us
together in constantly increasing
numbers should make us scared
and suspicious of one another.
AS far as talk goes, we pretend
that people are much alike. May
De that is the course OF trouble.
Maybe we would get along bet
ter if we met one another pre-
pared to take care of ourselves, no
matter what happened. That is
the way our fathers and grand
fathers felt about it.
They seldom passed pedestrians
on the road without Offering a
ride and they were just as seldom
made the victims of surprise
attack.
System Makes CoaUards
CYSTEM has tended to make

looking for safety through some
general scheme, we shrink from
assuming those responsibilities

plans in Republican and Democratic platforms of
today. And most of the measures our fathers
rarded as frankly revolutionary now for us
settled and accepted things.
TT is therefore, easy to see that a disturbance
motive is as necessary for the political life of
state as oxygen for the individual Before refor-
nations must come the rebels and without rebels
there can be no progress
The public welfare needs conservatives but no
more than it needs the radicals, who in every in
stance keep the conservatives from petrifying in
their tracks Only perpetual proddings can make
either the elephant the donkey move forward.
Left alone each prefers to stand still most of the
time.
The agitators the howlers, are of special benefit
to the country. BY constant shoutngs about inius-
tice by constant rantings the evils that grow
more quickly upon political systems than parasites
upon tree, the public conscience is kept in state
of awareness that prevents it from sinking into
dangerous comas Of compiacency.

A Comets Fate

another meteoric shower for q
possible parallel.

Leonids and it undoubtedly il

Inc whole drama from comet m

was enacted in quicker tempo in
IN the case Of the meteoric swarm
known as the Andromedes
Biela's comet was discoveries =,
IfI2. It Went around the sun in
period Of about six and a half
years. One end of its orbit was
near that Of the planet jupiter.
The comet was observed again
in 1906, 1926, and 1892. Nothing
unusual was noted about it. When
it returned in 1916, it was normal
in appearance until Dec. 20. when
1t became considerably elongated.
BY Jan. I, it had split into two.
The two parts apparently in
huenced each other, because they
became alternately brighter and
darker.
The two components returned in
1852 and were about 1000 600
miles apart But they never have
been seen since.
Five years after 1852 a brilliant
meteoric shower occurred. This
meteoric swarm. known as the
Andromedes, was shown to have
the same orbit as that of Biela's
comet.
It furnished brilliant showers in
1872 and 1885, years when the
comet should have returned to
view.
The Andromedes still are due
each year on Nov. "A. But they
no longer furnish such brilliant
showers as they did in 1885.
Each year they are a little faint
er. Astronomers believe that they
are being scattered and used up.

KEEPING BRAINS AT WORK

The University of Wisconsin, setting aside $4,000
to provide research jobs for holders of doctorates
who not md employment, has acted wisely in an
effort to counterfeit one of the most waseful of all
phases of the depression.
Men and who go through the long course
of training necessary to win a doctors degree
folk whom the nation can not well permit to fall
into enforced idlenesS.
They have brains and training that can make
them extremely useful to the whole country. That
the depression forces many of them to remain idle
is tremendous waste.
BY finding way of keeping them busy, the Uni
versity of Wisconsin is taking step which will be of
direct benefit to the entire nation.

This is the third Of series of six
articles BY DR.. Fishbein on the preVen-
ton and treatment of diphtheria.
WHENEVER a child appears
w to be Ill with a high fever,
when it complains of pains in the
throat, when it is dull and apa-
thetic and when white spots are
seen in the throat or on the ton
sis, a physician capable of max
ing a diagnosis should see the
throat and should have immediate
charge of the child'S care.
The more the throat is involved
the greater the spread of the
membrane in which the germs are
found.
The longer the time that the
poisons developed by the germs
are permitted > get into the sys-
tenn, the more danger there is of
death or of serious complications.
Hence it is urged that such cases
be diagnosed as early as possible
and that when diagnosed large
amounts Of antitoMn, to be deter
mined by the coctor in charge, be
given promptly.

5000 to 5000 units of antitoxin
were sufficient for first dose, in
the vast majority Of cases.
Nose physicians now prefer to
give 10000 units of antitoxin i'm
mediately, and in severe cases
10000 to 10000 units of antitoxin
as first injection.
The danger of death or of va
rious forms of paralysis. or of Sc
riouS complications, is far more
likely from the disease than from
any excess amount of antitoxin.
Indeed, in Che vast majority Of
cases of diphtheria, the proper
use Of the antitoxin is almost the
only necessary method of treat
ment.
It is, Of course, understood that
the child will be put to bed i'm
mediately, and that it will have
prolonged rest in bed, to prevent
serious complications. 1t is the

tons that demands particularly
