so THAT'S HOW COLDS HAPPEN

So THAT'S HOW COLDS hAFFEN
Far be it from this columnist to
take exception to what any other
columnist says. unless it is bad for
the public health and the fellow says
it too solemnly. like huulor when
I believe folks do not take 1t seri-
ouSly.
The man tells his readers about q
ride some one gave him In car that
has the latest wrinkle in ventilation.
He reports that you can adjust the
circulation of air in the car 80 that
back draughts are prevented. So far
we can find no fault with 1t. But
then the gentleman goes on to assure
us that back draughts start millions
Of colds, especially in older people, by
chilling the back Of the neck.
Not content with that invasion OF
the health columnist's field this ON
niscient one informs US that doctors
will be interested in this new wrinkle
for their patients sake.
Finally the mentor Of millions as
serts that the common cold Is the
cause and the beginning Of numerous
fatal illnesses.
In short he tells virtually every
thing the wiseacre population likes to
believe Is so. Who knows, perhaps
some day this great philosopher Will
tell the doctors what the common
cold is. No doctor or health authority
dares to tell, even II he thinks he
knows.
Not until democracy rules the
world will anybody know where destr-
able ventilation leaves off and a
draught begins. No one can draw
the line between a current OF fresh
air that Is ventilation and q
draught.
Aside from the SNUG notions of a
lot Of old fogy physicians there Is
not even q consensus Of opinion upon
what constitutes an Objectionable
draught. Every little mind has no
ton Of its own about that, and the
notion of the eminent physician or
the health officer is Of no greater
weight than yours or mine.
Scientifically there Is no ground to
imagine q current Of air that chllS
any part of the body surface pro-
duces any disease. A stiff neck, q
lame back, . charleyhorse or general
soreness Of the muscles may be SO
caused, but that is not q serious ILL
ness. # you have some chronic dis
ease such as chronic bronchitis,
chronic rhinitis, chronic nephritts,
prostate obstruction. Raynaud'S AZ
lection c'dead fingers"D, you are by
preventative to any slight chilling and
chilling will give you greater discom-
fort, but chilling is not . cause Of
any Of these troubles.
For comforts sake the ventilation
Of an automobile or any other We
hicle in which people ride should be
the best the engineers can contrtve
But it seems unfair to the great au-
tomotive industry to blame the auto
mobile for millions Of fatal illnesses.
Rather, I should say, the old family
bus, backdraught or no draught. has
contributed much toward better pub
lie health records in the past thirty
years.

It Passed Anyway


to bind itself to support the presi-
dents economy plan on Saturday was
followed quickly by passage Of the bill
in the house. Republicans Joined with
Democrats to approve q measure
which, drastic though 1t seems, Is
sorely needed.
For the last two years at least,
economy has been recognized as q
major governmental problem. Con-
gress has struggled with 1t and the
result has been increasingly greater
expenditures and mounting deficits
despite feeble efforts at retrench-
ment.
Congress stands today indicted Of
incapability in dealing with this ques-
ton. No one knows it better than
congress and no one knows better
than congress the degree Of its guilt.
The reason for this Is plain enough.
Congressional districts are relatively
small affairs and each congressman
must speak for his district. FIRE.
quently he must speak for a small
but aggressive minority in his district
quite as loudly as he speaks for the
district as whole. It is rare con-
gresham who dares to look at an is
sue from a national standpoint. Yet
every congressman legislates, presum-
ably, for the nation as whole. The
result Is the log-rolling for which con-
gress Is notorious.
A congressman may admit that the
national budget must be reduced, yet
this does not relieve him of the obli-
CATION of defending appropriations
for his district. To say that he vot-
ed In the national interest does not
turn away the wrath Of home groups
which may have been displeased.
In many ways it is regrettable that
concentration Of power in the hands
Of the president seems to be the only
way Of getting this Job done. Yet the
past failures Of congress admit of no
other remedy.
Opposition to the bill will be more
marked in the senate and may be
more successful. It will be delayed
there and opposing forces will have
opportunity to marshal their re-
sources. It is to be hoped, however,
that it will pass. Desperate situations
need desperate remedies and balanc-
ing Of the national budget is one of
the prime requisites for the restora-
ton Of business confidence. Once the
national government is on its feet
and going forward, private Enterprise
will be encouraged to do SO.
In connection with the effort to re-
duce payments to world war veter-
ans, there should be no misunder-
standing. Any attempt to seriously
impair the benefits paid to men who
suffered injury during war service
should be resisted.
The real question is whether the
government should continue to pay
out hundreds OF millions OF dollars
yearly to men whose disabilities are
in no way traceable to war service.
Right here in Bismarck We have
men drawing disability compensation
whose injuries were due to their own
misconduct years after the war was
over. Whether or not the people wish
this system to continue Is the real
issue before congress in the presidents
economy proposals.

Infantry and Plane Attack on
Chaoyang Held Success;
Terror Plot Nipped

TOKYO, Feb. % I.N.S.).
Japanese forces have routed
Chinese troops from the city
Of Chaoyang in Jehol province,
according to reports tonight.
The Chinese 1O7th Brigade,
which was defending the town,
retreated following an infantry
and aerial attack.
Anticipating disturbances in
North China following occupa-
ton of Jehol, the war ministry
ordered Lieut.. Gen. Kotaro Naka-
mura, commander of the Japa-
nese garrison at Tientsin, to
take measures for protection of
Japanese lives and property.
Driving through knee-deep
snowdriftS and dragging machine
guns and cannon over frozen
creeks and rivers, Japan's expes
dictionary force pressed into the
interior of Jehol Province in a
fanlike movement.
The southern contingent, with
virtually the entire Peipaio rail-
way area in its grasp, following a
series of sharp engagements with
defending Chinese forces, moved
in a westerly direction across the
rugged terrain toward Jehol City,
the capital.
The northern army, consisting
of native Manchukuo troops and
japanese soldiers, concentrated at
Tungliao, just beyond the north
east border Of Jehol, and started
the long march southwestward on
Jehol City.

of Manchukuo, the northern army

Large forces of Mongol cavalry
men from Taonan swept down
from their native mountains to
join the Manchukuo forces.
While Japanese military au-
thorities originally hoped to COM

in five days, heavy SHOWS and
the difficult terrain of the Jehol
countryside made the advance
slower than had been expected.

Suicide Note; Forgery Is

by members of the Los Ange-
les county grand jury to de-
termine whether or not a for
NAL investigation into the
death of Bern should be
launched by the grand jury.
A coroner's jury returned ver-
dict that Bern had committed
suicide on September s. His body
was found in a dressing closet
with bullet hole in the temple
and a revolver in his right hand.
'~ Addressed Jean
In a small book was found a
note purported to have been
penned by Bern in which he in
timated he intended to commit
suicide. The note was addressed
to Miss Harlow, who was at her
mothers home at the time of
Bern'S death. 1t read:
This is the only way to
make amends for my. abject
humiliation. You understand
that last night was only a
comedy"
Around this note is centered
the investigation carried on for
the past few days by w. w.
Widenham, grand jury foreman,
and o. G. Lawton,. member of
the criminal complaints COM
1nittee.
Believed Forgery
Despite the aura of secrecy
about the investigation, it was
reported that grand jurors believe
the note might have been forged.
The investigation is reported
TO have been launched at the re-
4quest Of Henry Bern, brother of
the former film executive, who
is said to have told members of
the grand jury that he was not
satisfied that Paul Bern had
committed suicide and that pri-
Vate detectives were investigating
the case.
Following conferences between
District Attorney Buron Fits,
Widenham and Lawton, attorneys
for Miss Harlow were requested to
make her available for question
ing.
The grand jurors were informed
that Miss Harlow had nothing to
conceal, and would testify if and
when she was called.
Statements and exhibits at the
coroner's inquest have been called
for by the grand jurors. It was
understood also that witnesses, in.
cluding a private detective, would
be called to testify. Although
names of the witnesses were close
ly guarded, it was reported that
at least one"new" witness would
be questioned.

Appointments of Roper and

To Bring Results

The Cabinet selected by
President-elect Roos evelt t
heralds the beginning Of a
worldwide drive to reduce
tariffs and promote interna-
tional trade, Representative
Henry T. Rainey, Democratic
leader of the House; said to-
day.
Rainey and other Democratic
leaders expressed themselves as
well pleased with the Roosevelt
selections. Rainey said:
"The appointment Of Senator
Hull and Daniel C. Roper to
the Cabinet is indicative of the
policy the Administration is
going to pursue: il indipatss
that the new Administration
will try to revise tariffs and &C
cOmplish reciprocal tariff reIa-

economic conference and Mr..
Hull and Mr.. Roper can render
splendid assistance. These ap-
DOintmentS clearly show what
is to be DONE"
Rainey declared Roper was "the
best" Cabinet selection made by
Mr.. Roosevelt except that of Sec
retary Of State Hull. He pointed
out that Hull as Secretary of
State and Roper as Secretary of
Commerce would have a vital part
in promoting international trade.
He said:
Premier Bennett, of Canada,

asking whether 1 thought the
new Administration would re-
ceive OvertureS from Canada

tariffs, or whether the new Ad-
ministratiOn would take the

Administration should do, and

Chief among the upsets was
the beating administered to

the Democrats dealt to the hith-

The wrestling of control from

an entirely different nature was
sprung. There the Socialist
party drew the spotlight as a
result of the election of Jasper

Bridgeport. Not only was Nc
Levy chosen as the first So
