WHEN FATE WAS KIND

THE fate that presides over shipwrecks
seems to be an excessively capricious sort
of lady. Once ship comes to grief, the lives
of those aboard seem to depend more on
blind chance than on any other single factor.
A case in point is the recent wreck of the
passenger liner George M Cox on Rock of
Ages reef in a heavy fog and Immediately
broke her back.
The 124 persons aboard were taken ashore
by lifeboat and raft without loss of life. Lake
Superior, as luck would have it, was calm.
Without taking anything away from the
calmness and efficiency of the officers and
seamen who effected the rescue, 1t can safely
be said that if heavy wind had been pre-
vailing a good many lives surely would have
been lost.
AS it happened their luck was in and
they were saved. 1t just as easily could have
been the other way-in which case one of the
worst marine disasters of recent years would
have been recorded.

| in your argument against any
methods of physical force from the
outside to depose Hitler.
Il can not quite agree with you in
your argument against boycottS. A
boycott possesses the elements not
only of physical duress, but also of
moral aversion. 1t is true that it
is a long range gun that hits the
innocent as we'll as the guilty, yet
it is also true that it hits the guilty
as we'll as the innocent and that
maniacal chariatan never must get,
the armory of Hitler's opponents.
1T has scored, moreover, singu-
larry olrecJ hlts. Inc only amell-
Grafton in the Hitler program was
effected by means of the boycott.
Hitler can not make good on his
demagogic promises of jobs for his
followers if his regime is boycotted.
But this, I grant, is an argument
of physical force, and we must try
to be philosophic and pacific about
the matter.
We'll, then, are you ready to con-
denim Gandhi for his -co-opera-
ton policies against British domina-

eradicate sin, we can not circum-

In the preparation of the annual
report of the Imperial county
health department for the fiscal
year ending Jure 30, 1888, Dr.. Wa
rem F. Fox, county health officer,
has maoe certain interesting OBJ
servations regarding that dreaded
disease oil childhood, diptheria.
A study of the seasonal incidence
of diphtheria showed that the dis
ease was more prevalent during
that part of the year when school
vas in Session-Novembel being the
highest month. This observation
was based on the analysis of 483
cases of diptheria in Imperial coun-
ty occurring during the eight year
period, 1925-l932 inclusive.
Marked improvement was shown
in the diphtheria situation during
the year, there being Only 10 cases
reported in the unincorporateC area
against 48 for the previous year. a
decrease Cf 90 cases. The diptheria
mortality rate, for the county as a
whole however, was slightly higher
due to the virulent type of the dis
ease. a condition which has been
noted in other parts of the coun-
Try during the past year.
That the diphtheria immunizat,op
program conducted by the county
health department during the past
three years, together with a SINH
lar program carried on ty the
school nurses in the incorporated
cities not under jurisdiction of this
department, mas been the import
ant factor in the decrease of d.ph-
tneria cases occurring, is the opin-
ion of the health officer.
DR.. Fox pointed out that III coun-
ties comparable to Imperial county,
not a single death from diphtheria
has occurred. He feels that this is

PRESIDENT ON
OCEAN CRUISE

POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y, Aug. 81.
GU.P-President Roosevelt sailed
shortly after noon today for a five
day cruise aboard Vincent Astor's
yacht Nourmahal
The sleek six thousand ton craft
pulled away from her dock here at
12:l5 p. m, half hour after Mr.
Roosevelt went on board.
Mr.. Roosevelt plans to remain on
the water until Monday night or
Tuesday morning when the Nour-
mahal will put in at the Washing
ton navy yard. The cruise will be
spent far off the shore of New Eng
land.
Before he motored to the dock
from Hyde Park the President talk
cd with Gen. Hugh S. Johnson, re-
covery administrator, by telephone
from Washington. Johnson inform
ed him that steady progress was
being made in phrasing the coal
code and that it would be ready for
executive approval next week.
Johnson had been instructed to
report to the President on Henry
Fords unwillingness to enlist un-
der the blue eagle but it was ex-
planned that there was nothing new
in that situation today.
Members of the Roosevelt family
came down to the wharf to say
goodbye to the President. Mrs. Sa-
rah Delano Roosevelt, his mother,
Mrs. Anna Roosevelt Dali, daugh-
ter. and her two children; Sistie
and Buzzie, were in the party.
