Love Life of a Grasshopper

many political platform it was al
ways good for a laugh. No one de-
Tended it and probably no one could
Yet there is widespread interest
right now in the love life of the
grasshopper for it has a direct bear
ing on the probable welfare Of this
section.
The Greater North Dakota associa-
ton, for example, is sponsoring a
meeting Of men from this and ad-
joining states and the prairie pro-
vinces Of Canada, to see what can be
done to prevent future infestations.
The conferees will give considerable
time to this important subject.
The latest bulletin from the federal
crop reporting service observes that
grasshoppers have been laying their
eggs for the last month, and will
continue to do so for another. It pre-
diets that grasshopper infestation
over a wide area may be expected
next year unless man takes action or
nature gives him break, or both.
The problem, of course, Is not con-
cerned 50 much with the insects
love-life as with the effects thereof.
If the grasshopper had none there
would be no problem.

Code for Housewives

Those Iowa women who suggested
that a working code be fixed up for
housewives. so that the lady Of the
family could get some sort of break
in the matter of hours and pay, seem
to have started something which
might give General Johnson and the
NRA crowd the toughest problem
they have yet had to tackle.
Fixing up code for the coal in
dustry may seem difficult: ironing
out the complexities Of the oil trade
may look hard: arranging things for
steel and auto manufacturers may
appear perplexing-but wait until you
try to put the housewives daily round
into formal code. before you say
you have tried something tough!

Coal Code Real Test of
NRA PROGRAM

The bitter argument now going on
in the coal industry over the terms
of the proposed blue eagle agreement
provides about as good a test case
for the whole recovery program as
could possibly be arranged.
1t tests the patriotism, the social
conscience and the intelligence Of all
parties involved-the owners, the
miners and the government itself.
1t brings into the spotlight Sec
tor of the industrial front which
needs government regulation, prob
ably, more than any other, and gives
us a chance to see whether reforms
which have been urgently needed for
years can finally be applied under
the pressure of a national emergency.
Here we have an industry which
cannot possibly do justice to its own
ers or to its workers without some
sort of far-reaching and drastic cor
receive being applied from above.
The country has more G al mines
than it needs and more CT 'al miners
than 1t can ordinarily employ. Even
a sudden return to 1929 levels Of bust
ness activity would not involve con-
sumption OF all the coal that can be
mined annually, nor would it provide
jobs for all Of the miners.
The industry, In short, has man
aged to concentrate within itself
nearly all Of the major evils Of
present-day industrialisu. This has
happened naturally and through
force OF circumstances, and 1t is idle
to try to blame any one man or group
of men; but 1t has happened, and
there is not the slightest sign that
the industry can solve its troubles by
its own unaided efforts.
The blue eagle program offers q
way out-the first that has ever been
opened to the coal industry since its
troubles became acute.
Here, at last, Is chance for the
industry to become stabilized, for its
production to get geared to consump-
ton, for an arrangement TO be made
by which owners can yet decent
profits and miners can get a decent
living.
But the first response of the in
dustry has not been encouraging. It
has split into factions-no fewer than
n codes have been submitted by dit
ferent groups Of bituminous opera
tors. Certain groups have apparent.
~ been ready to forego the benefits
of cooperation rather than relax
their archaic anti-union traditions.
Others have insisted that they vii.
submit to no government supervision
under any circumstances.
It will be national calamity II
some sort of order cannot be brought
into this chaotic field. Those indivi-
duals who stand in the way are
shouldering an extremely heavy re-
sponsibility.

FIREMAN SPARE THAT CHILD

authorities on physiology and resusci-
tation to protect the public from the
menace Of breathing machines, there
seems to be a determination on the
part Of certain fire department OFF,
Gals, whose political appointment
scarcely qualities them to have an
opinion on such a subject, to help
the manufacturers of these dangerous
lung pumps to dispose of their stock
to unWary municipalities.
A correspondent sent a circular de-
scribing the kind of machine he says
his town employees in cases Of drown
ing, electric shock, carbon monoxide
poisoning and smoke asphyxiation.
The machine appears to be an in
halator-that Is, an inflatable bag
and cylinder Of oxygen and an
other cylinder Of carbon dioxide, with
a gauge to mix these in the proper
tons of SO or IS per cent oxygen
with z or S per cent carbon dioxide.
That part is fine. The carbon dioxide
oxygen mixture administered in con-
junction with prone pressure manual
respiration Is valuable aid in any
case. But such simple apparatus
would not bring fancy price, so
the manufacturer has to add what
he calls "resuscitator"-the in
evitable pump. Worse, the circular
carries several pictures Of brave fire
men pretending to resuscitate VIC
tins, and in every instance the VIC
tim is posed lying on his back. That
would be q grave mistake in any case
the victim should lie on his belly
prone, not supine. BY turning his
face toward one side the mask of
an inhalator may be applied quite as
well as though the victim lay on his
back.
There are two very good reasons
why pumps or breathing machines or
lung motors or pulmotors or resusci-
tatorS should neve1 be used in emer-
gency work. First, it has been amply
proved that prone-pressure manual
respiration Is more efficient In max
ing the dead or unconscious breathe
than Is any machine. Second It has
been found that the machine is dan
gerous-too likely to overdistend and
fatally or seriously injure the lungs.
But never mind the second objection.
Why monkey with the spectacular
machinery when every man, woman
and child carries always q more ef-
! ficient means of resuscitating?
Fire chiefs, clerks, and superinten-
dents may as well spare me their
letters of panied protest. I am not
amenable to that sort Of thing. ]
am stating here plain truth, and
defy anybody to controvert 1t.
The hick towns are no longer good
prospects for the slick agents who
sell these dangerous and unjustifiable
breathing machines. But the big
graft-ridden cities still absorb a con-
siderable share of the dead stock
makers of such gadgets have still to
get rid Of
This plea Of mine will probabl,
meet with nothing more than a snarl
from the big shots who are getting
theirs from the sales of these ma
chimes to unwary municipalities

interests that pay the cuts" on how
best to deal with such criticism. The.
may even get testimonial from
some medical politician who Is in i
with them. But who cares abou
that? I ask the brave fireman who
