objectionable Delay

Delays by the administration in starting the
building programs for unemployment relief ordered
by congress are difficult to understand
Last week we pointed out that the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation had not made single loan from
its special fund of $15OOOOOOOO for self-iqudating
construction projects Since then the r. F. C. has
found time to issue pamphlet of instructions for
applications for such loans, very tardy procedure
considering that many applications have been wait
ing desks of the corporation for several weeks.
Value of this fund is its emergency character. 1t
is supposed to make work for the unemployed i'm
mediately BY delay, the r. F. c. is violating the
spirit and destroying the purpose of the law.
Those who suffer are not only the unemployed
but the entire country. Business would be helped
by large scale purchase of building materials.
Now Senator Robert Wagner of New York, who
worked long and hard to get relief legislation
passed. reveals that the administration also is dla
tory in the matter of federal building projects.
The relief and construction act made available
s332,0OO00O for this purpose The projects were
specified they generally agreed upon as the
project which would be started and furnish en-
ployment quickly
ITO date however, as far as I am aware, work
has not begun on the projects enumerated in the
relief and construction act" Wagner has written to
Secretary of Treasury Ogden Mills Forty days
have elapsed since congress passed that law 1t seems
to me that undue delay already has been suffered"
Secretary Mills is holding up not only the building
projects of his own department but of all government
departments by his failure to certify that the funds
are available,
Even the river and harbor and flood control
projects for which complete plans long have existed
in the office of the chief of army engineers, and on
which construction should have been started at cnce
are delayed.
Whatever the cause of this objectionable delay
in creating jobs for the unemployed as provided by
congress whether The delay is the result OF politics
or of interchangeable time has come Tor president
Hoover to do something about it.

-- DAILY HEALTH SERVICE -
Ability to Detect Odors Varies

DR.. E. M. Seydell, who recently
has reviewed this subject, points
out that the ability to detect odors
may be interfered with by the toxic
action of certain drugs.
Sulphur or the fumes arising from
the manufacture of rubber, alcohol,
tobacco, chloroform, ether, NOR
phine or carbolic acid, if repeatedly
inhaled, will interfere with the abil-
ity to detect various odors.
This perhaps is due to an anes-
thesia of the nerves responsible for
the sense of smell. These nerves
are like the other nerves in the
body, subject to fatigue, and when
tired they do not act as Nwell as
when they are fresh.
Hence, the nerves of smell may be
exhausted by long stimulation or
intense stimulation from various
sources.
In the same way the ability to de-
tect odors gradually wears out in
the aged, as do other senses, such as
those of sight, hearing, and taste.
For this reason perfumes for the
aged must be stronger and foods
spicier if they are to give the pleas
IRE associated with the use of the
special senses.

The sense of smell so closely is
associated with the sense of taste
that disturbance of this sense in
tereferes frequently with appetite.
There are, of course, various dis
turbances of a psychologist character
which center on the sense of smell,
so that people complain constantly
of bad odors which do not exist.
There are other cases in which
the nerves may be stimulated by
presence Of tumors or other disease
of the brain.
Sometimes the sense of smell is
perverted.
A case is reported of physician
to whom violets had the odor of
phosphorus and there was another
man to whom everything smelled
like cabbage.
There are cases in which the
sight of certain objects produces in
the patient sense of an odor that
does not exist and there also are
cases in which the hearing of GER
tain sounds brings on the sense of
an odor that may not exist.

Solar PrOn0inenCeS

REAT streamers or tongues Of
" gas arise from the chromo-
sphere. These, are known as the
solar prominences.
The prominences, of various kinds,
sometimes rise to enormous heights
in brief periods of time.
Astronomers have photographed
prominences that rose to heights of
more than 100000 miles in the
period of few hours.
Finally we come to the corona.
which surrounds the entire sun, a
sort of outer envelope composed of
gaseous material of surprisingly low
density.
The corona becomes visible only
during an eclipse of the sun. Astron-
omers have perfected devices by
which the chromosphere can be
studied at any time, despite the
fact that it becomes visible to the
eye only during an eclipse.
But as yet they have not been
able to do the same thing with the
corona.
This is one Of the reasons why
astronomers regard an eclipse of the
sun. as such an important event. It
is the only time that photos of the
corona can be obtained
These photos indicate that the
corona changes in shape with great
frequence. It has not appeared ex-
actly alike at any two eclipses.
In addition, there are changes of
a systematic nature in its appear
ance that seem to be linked up with
the sun spot cycle.
The exact connection has not
been worked out, though it is
thought to be an electromagnetic
one.

WHEREAS in the lower animals
w the sense of smell is highly
developed, in the human being it is
subject to extraordinary variations.
Some people can detect certain
odors in much less concentrated
form than can other people; at the
same time their sense of smell for
other odors may be either normal
or Subnormal.
When a person has been taking
certain drugs, such as strychnine or
cocaine, his sense of smell becomes
exceedingly delicate
This may be due to the fact that
the drugs shrink the membranes of
the nose and thereby permit easier
access of the vapors which carry the
odors to the delicate nerves of the
nose.
An inability to detect odors may,
of course, be associated with a bad
cold or any condition which sWeils
the membranes of the nose or COW
ers them with secretion.
There are, however, cases of peo-
pie born without ability to detect
