Plenty Of Fresh
Air Necessary To

Health Director Recommends
Deep Breathing AS Aid
In Keeping Fit

"There are good many sound
reasons for holding our heads up" DR..
R. H. Riley, Director of the State De-
partment of Health, said recently,
stressing the importance of good pos
ture, an abundance of fresh air and
the habit of deep breathing as aids in
keeping fit, and in strengthening ones
resistance to disease.
"Chief of them," he continued, $50
far as health is concerned, is the effect
that good posture has on deep
breathing. That, in turn, sets whole
train of favorable activities in mo-
ton. We all know that we need an
abundant supply of clean, fresh, air to
keep our breathing apparatus in order
and that the human machine cant
function without it. But as the frosty
days come, we are more or less in.

"You can't breathe deeply when you

When you hold your head up anC

Farmers Warned Not To
Assign Wheat Payments

Officials of the Agricultural Ad-
iustment Administration have warned
farmers against signing agreements
assigning their wheat adjustment
payment checks to creditors or other
parties in violation Of their contracts
The Administrations warning was
issued as a result of word that cred
itors of farmers in some states are
seeking to get farmers to agree to
such assignments.
"The purpose of the wheat adjust
ment payment is to put this addition
al purchasing power into the hands Of
the farmer for him to use at his dis
cretion-not merely to have him
assign his adjustment payment to the
first creditor who reaches him"
George E. Farrell, associate chief of
the wheat section, said.
To protect farmers against such
practices, the wheat allotment con-
tract in Article 16 specifically forbids
the contracting farmer to assign his
payments, as follows: The producer
will not sell or assign, in whole or in
part, this contract or his right to or
for adjustment payments under this
contract, and will not execute any
power of attorney to collect such ad-
justment payments or to order that
any such payments be made. Any such
sale, assignment, order, or power OF
attorney shall be null and void.
"The answer of any farmer to
creditor who asks that the adjustment
payment check be assigned to him, is
that such action is impossible under
Article 16 of the contract" Mr.. Far
rell said.

Save Your Eyes
By DIR. ]. FRED ANDREAE
Secretary, American Academy
of OptometYy.

Few of the millions who now wear
them know that once glasses were
banned as works of Satan. In the Mid
die Ages, glasses were denounced as
a deliberate interference with Gods
purpose in infiicting punishment, ac-
cording to DR.. ]. Fred Andreae, Sec
rotary of the American Academy of
Optometry.
"In addition to the religious scrup-
les that checked the use of glasses in
the Middle Ages" he added, "there
was another very practical reason
that interfered with their develop
ment. They were not needed anything
like they are now. Only the few schol-
ars who wrote and studied the hand
written books felt the necessity Of
better vision. There was no printing
The eyes were only used from sunrise
to sunset, since there were no electric
lights or gas to turn night into day.
With the advent of printing, eye
glasses became more generally used
The first glasses were very crude, DR.
Andreae explained, and it was no
until the nineteenth century that tn,
art of making lenses was developed
The first lenses, and those worn VI
to the beginning of the present cen
fury, were small and nearly fiat. Tn,
only spots on grandmother's lense
that were any good to her were tn
exact centers.
GIN effect, it was as if she had OIL
binders with hole in the middle,
commented DIR. Andreae, "for, when
ever she wished to look to the RICH
or the left, she had to turn her head
"With the advent of the twentieth
century, the toric lenses came int
use. This curved lens widened tn
circle of the so-called binders"

OWNERS ARE URGED NOT
TO LET DOGS RUN LOOSE
Increase Noted In Injuries to
Children by Bites of Animals

A baby eight months old, who was
bitten by neighbours dog, was re-
ferred to the Pasteur Division of the
State Department of Health recently
for treatment to prevent rabies from
developing. Fortunately, prompt in
vestigation showed that the dog was
not mad, so the baby was spared the
ordeal of the fourteen treatments re-
quired to give protection against the
disease and the parents were relieved
of the anxiety and dread that accom-
pany an experience of that sort. Of
the remaining 119 persons for whom
the Pasteur treatment was requested
during May, because they had either
been bitten or otherwise injured by
animals believed to be rabid, or had
been in contact with such animate, "A
were young children under ten
years old, % were between ten and
fifteen, and the rest were older.
Treatments were started for 81 and
were completed for Is. They were
discontinued or not started, for the
rest, when it was found that the ami
mails by which the injuries were in
flicted, were normal.
Rabies, or hydrophobia, as it used
to be called, is the terrible disease
that is caused by the bite of an ami
mal," DR.. R. H. Riley, Director of the
State Department of Health, said,
calling attention to the increase in
injuries to children and warning
against the danger from homeless
dogs or from other dogs running at
large. "The disease Spreads" he con-
tinued, "from dogs to other animals
by the bite of rabid animal. Human
beings contract it either through be-
ing bitten or otherwise injured by
rabid animals. They can also acquire
it through the saliva from animals
coming in contact with broken or
scratched places in the skin.
"The disease is fatal, if allowed to
develop. The only way to prevent its
development in human beings is by
the prompt cauterization of the m
jury and the prompt administration
of the Pasteur treatment. No time
should be lost getting it started.
Care should be taken not to kill
animals unnecessarily. All dogs that
are swapping or biting or otherwise
acting suspiciously, should be tied up,
humanely cared for, but kept where
they can't endanger lives, and under
the observation of veterinarian. If
the dog is mad, symptoms of rabies
will soon develop, and the animal will
die within seven days.

Amtorg Absorbs Trio
The incident led to all except
one of the original directors of
Amtorg trading their American
positions for soviet concessions
with, however, somewhat differ
ent results.
Amtorg's next big amalgama-
ton job dissolved:
1. Centrosoyuz America, a
New York agency of the Central
Union of Consumers Cooperatives
in Russia. 1t bought chiefly for
retail sale through its own agencies
in Russia all manner of products
listed as necessities.
2. Selskosoyuz, representing
the Union. of Agricultural Co
operatives in Russia. Its pur-
chases were confined to field
seed, farm implements and trac-
tors.
3. All-Russian Textile Syndi-
cate, set up specifically to buy
American cotton. In 1928, the
last year of heavy purchases, it
took $45,O00,00O of staple.
Amtorg, capitalized at $1,000
1000, now dominates commerce with
Russia. It is said that 95 per
cent of the stock is owned by
soviet government organizations
for which it acts as agent.
Amtorg acts both in wholesale
and retail capacity for Russian
goods entering the United States,
the peak value of which was es-
tablished at $24.3S5. 1856 in 1881.
Manganese, anthracite and furs
head the list of two dozen COM
modities imported. The peak ex-
ports to Russia came in 1880 and
were valued at $114,39S,537.
