FROM APE TO MAN OR FROM
MAN TO APE?

Calm yourself This is not dis
oussion of evolution.
It is talk about a subject that Is
perhaps talked about more than any
other health subject, namely, the
common cold" just what common
cold may be is a question for every
one to answer to suit his own pecu-
liar notions. No health authority or
medical authority can be inveigled in
to defining or describing, much less
identifying case of common cold"
You just have to take 1t for granted
yours is it-until you find you've got
something not contemplated in the
provisional or tentative diagnosis Of
your indisposition. BY that time you'll
be SO busy battling whatever you've
got that you'll quite forget to task the
near doctor with his error.
Without admitting that nobody
knows what the alleged common
cold is, we have sent out several ex-
petitions in recent years in quest Of
the nature and cause of the putatiye
malady. One such intensive research
has included observation of a group
OF chimpanzees.

ing to take cultures from the Threats

animal that did not submit gracefully

workers mask was not in place when
the culture was obtained. However all
the chimpanzeeS and all the workers
or attendants were in good health and
had been free from any signs Of cri,

don't, call it colds. you dumb egg.
The day after the little argument
between ape and worker, the worker
complained of sneezing, lacrimation,
fulnesS in nose and throat and the
second day she was suffering from
what the putative medical authorities
pronounced typical severe common
cold which lasted two weeks.

what these same medical authorities

the group.

ground the intractable ape was in

took the culture unmasked. That
seems plausible enough. for we know
that some Of the specific respiratory

If and When

We may get the major elements
OF this prohibition business straight
ened out at this session of congress
after all.
When the senate voted Thursday
to present the repeal resolution to the
states, after having first Strengthened
out some ridiculous amendments, it
did good piece of work. Neither
the vets nor the drys can reason
ably object to having this question
passed back to the states for deci-
sion in the light of present condi-
tons.
Speaker Garner may or may not
be right in his declaration that the
house will take similar action next
Monday. but there is no denying his
ability to bring it to a vote at that
time. Conditions being as they are,
it is probable that the resolution will
pass.
This new turn in the situation calls
for quick action on the part of the
state legislature If the prohibition
situation in this state is not to be
further complicated during the next
two years.
Since the resolution and quite
properly = refers the issue to state
conventions for settlement, provision
should be made at this legislative
session for the calling of such a con-
vention if and when the national re-
peal amendment is presented to this
state. Prompt action now might pre-
vent public disorder and prevent
much bitterness during the interim
between the end of this legislative
session and the beginning of the
next.

A Good Reaction


Perhaps the most notable thing
about the attempt to assassinate
President elect Roosevelt is the
evident reaction of the man and his
wife to what might have been great
tragedy.
1t is erroneous to say that Roose-
welt was unconcerned. No man coulC
be after SO close call. but it is
evident that he was not afraid. His
cheering words to his friends in the
hospital at Miami, his refusal to
leave the scene despite the frantic
efforts OF secret service men to get
him away. combine to give us the
picture of a man who is unafraid ir
time of crisis.
Personal fearlessness is trait Of
the entire Roosevelt family. The
great Theodore Roosevelt had it in
full measure and his distinguished
cousin is one of the breed. Incl
dentally, they deserve tradition fol-
enjoying good fortune. When Theo-
dore Roosevelt was shot in the breast
at Milwaukee during the campaign
of 1912 he might have been fatally
wounded were 1t not for a bulky
manuscript and his spectacle case In
his breast pocket. Wednesday night
at Miami, Franklin D. Roosevelt sat
unframed. although six persons
around him were wounded.
Mrs. Roosevelt's attitude also is
notable. In the best tradition OF
American womanhood, she went
ahead with her planned routine, re-
alizing that there was nothing she
could do to improve the situation TIC
one on the outside it is easy enough
to ask what else was there for hel
to do?' but that pre-supposes a logic
which might very easily have deserted
n woman in time of crisis and thought
of danger to one who is very dear tc
her.
The whole business, tragic as il
was, augurs we'll for the future OF
the nation. If Franklin d. Roosevelt
is as fearless in the face of political
pressure as he was in the face of a
gunman's bullets, America will bene-
fit. Now, if ever, We need fearless
ness and consecrated devotion to
right and justice in high places.
OF course. it is not as though
Roosevelt had not looked upon the
face of approaching death before
The attack of infantile PARALYSIS
which he suffered was just as real a
menace as the bullets from a would
be aSSaSsin'S gun.
There can be no sympathy toward
the man who might have brought
this tragedy upon the nation except
that sympathy which all Of us must
feel toward person with deranged
mind.
