Member Of Congress from Pennsylvania
written Expressly for International
News Seryice,)


Now is the time to lay down a
fundamental policy for a self
sustaining air mail service. We
can have an air mail service with
out subsidy.
With the cooperation Of the
Postoffice Department, legislation
can be enacted in a few weeks.
This would avoid the necessity for
temporary, emergency legislation
which would be certain to result
in disorganization of the entire
mail service.
1t is my hope that the Postoffice
Committee of the House will take
speedy action to report sound
measure so that it can be enacted
into law.
The proposal Of the Administra-
ton to permit the Postmaster Gen
eral to take arbitrary action and
grant temporary contracts with
out advertising or competitive bid
ding will add new dangers to the
situation.
Cancellation of air mail con-
tracts makes imperative legisla-
ton of a permanent and con-
structive nature. For more than
a year I have had pending in
Congress a program for elimina-
ton of subsidy in the air mail
system.
Now there should be immediate
action to pass this or similar
legislation. Under it's provision
air mail carriers will be paid on
the amount of mail actually car
ried. The present system, under
the so-called Waters amendment,
is payment on space regardless
of the air mail transported. This
system gave rise to injustice and
the difficulties of the present are
due to it's operation.
Even in the present system we
forced a provision for competitive
bidding. Troubles have arisen be-
cause it is charged that former
Postmaster General Brown did
not carry out the true intent
of this provision in some cases.
The only solution is perma
nent. constructive basis for the
air mail where the revenues re-
ceived will pay the cost of opera
ton.

Cleveland (UP) When 1t comes to whopping cough, chim- panzees are just like children - once afflicted they are generally immune from recurrence of the disease.
 Nearly two years ago, Dr. Ger aid S. Shibley, at Lakeside Hospi- tai, began exhaustive research on the causes of whooping cought. He sought evidence on whether the "whoop" was caused by a germ or a filterable virus.

VATICAN URGES
 DRESS REFORMS
Turin U. Prof Speaks Against Folly of Nudist
 Colonies

Vatican City - (UP) - Exhibi- tions recently have been held in Italy on "Decorous Bathing Cos-- tunes for Women" which respect modesty and yet are inspired by good taste.
 The vatican has signified its ap- proval of these exhibitions. The most important of these exhibitions was opened a few days ago in 'Tu- rin under the auspices of the may press of the city, Countess Thaon de Revel. A large number of mem berS of the Turin aristocracy were present, and "decorours but at tractive bathing suits for women" which avoid the indecencies and extravagances of ultra modern nu- dist costumes" were on view.
 Prof Luigi Gedda of Turin uni versity addressed the visitors, and spoke in favor of decent dress and against the folly of nudism, which he hoped never would become pop ular in Italy.
 The bishop of Civitavecchia, in a recent pastoral, attacked the semi nude bathers on modern beaches. In this he is following lead set by the vatican organ, the Osseh- vatore Romano.
 When we ant to take sun cure, that is all I.S.lt," said the bishop, but it is not right to cor rupt our souls and thos of others, to scandalize the innocent, and to dishonor our country"

MYSTIC ART SHOW.
 TO OPEN SHORTLY
Annual Exhibition Starts August 1 and Will
 End Sept IS

Boston, July 2S = Tie season of art exhibitions is now well under way in New England resort areas, bulletin from the New England Council points out. Although some of the summer shows do not open until August 1, many others are already attracting interest from critics as well as visitors to New England coast and mountain re- gions.
 Artists colonies have been a conspicuous and interesting feature of New England summer life for many years, and the number of artists of all kinds who take re- fuge there from city heat has in- creased steadily. Since New Eng land has so many artists as sum- mer residents it is natural that it summer art exhibitions. Some of these exhibitions are important the annual modern shown at Prov ifcetown frequently creates excite ment for the critics. All provide the artist with an opportunity to show-and perhaps sell-his work and the visitor with an additional source of enjoyment and interest.
 The Maine coast, the mountains of New Hampshire, Cape Ann, Cape Cod, the Massachusetts Berkshires and the Litchfield hills of western Connecticut are among the regions which for many years have at tracted organized invasions of art ists, and the movement is still spreading, group of New York artists having recently become ac- lively aware of the charms of the Green Mountains. The artists come to work, and also to enjoy all the pleasant features of summer life in New England, and students who wish to work with the better known artists follow. Organized schools and informal classes in painting, sculpture, etching and other media are held each year in all the regions mentioned.
 Among the exhibitions of par ticular interest in New England this summer are included the fol- lowing:
 The Mystic Art Association at Mystic, Conn, one of the oldest New England art colonies, will hold its annual exhibition from Aug 1 to Sept IS. The Mystic sum mer school of painting which opened in July will continue until Sept 26. The annual exhibition of paintings and sculpture by the Lyme Art Association will open July 2S and continue until Sept 4

New York, N. Y.-Summer, when the great outdoors calls and the vacationist seeks new scenes and faces as relaxation from the grind of his daily work, is a specially hazardous season of the year for fatal accidents. While deaths from disease, as general thing, are more numerous in the winter months, the summer mor- tality from accidents is about 25 per cent greater than in winter or spring, and 16 per cent higher than in the fall.
 A survey of the mortality statis- tics of the United States Registra- tion Area for the three-year period 1929, to 1881, by the Statistical Bureau of the Metropolitan Life Insprance company, shows that 20 per cent of the accidental deaths occurred during the summer months. The fall season was next with 25 per cent of the fatal accidents, while 23 per cent was tabulated for both the spring and the winter seasons. July, with 10.7 per cent, showed the largest proportion of accidental deaths for any one month.
 The survey reports that the outdoor activities of the summer,

Summer a Hazardous
 Season For Mishaps
Outdoor Season Claims More Lives Than Winter
 Months-Juy Leads in Accidental Deaths

wholesome an Unnecessary as they
 are, involve distinct seasonal haz-
 ards. More than 55 per cent of
 the drowning accidents occur in
 June, July and August. In com
 menting upon these deaths the survey says:
 | "The death toll from drowning
 is largely preventable. due as it
 is in many instances to the care- | lessness or recklessness of the
 swimmers. Some of it, however,
 could be prevented by more ade- quate supervision of bathing beaches and water sports in gen. l eral Drownings at the hundreds | of summer camps for boys and girls are rare, indeed, because swimming and boating are super vised and up-to-date methods of
 resuscitation are usually at hand
 when accidents do occur" Metropolitan statisticians report that other forms of accidents
 which register their maximum
 mortalties in the summertime are: food poisonings, poisonings by venomous misunderstanding
 insects and reptiles, airplanes and
 balloon accidents, injuries by
 "other vehicles" Qargely horse
 drawn), crushing accidents, in- juries by non-venomous animals, heat, lightning and other electric shocks, and water transportation accidents. The statisticians point out that with the possible excep. ton of electric shocks not due to lightning, the reason for the pre- dominance of summertime deaths is apparent in the case of each of these.
 Accidental burns, injuries re- ceived in burning buildings, mech anical suffocations, inhalation of irreSpirable, irritating or poisonous gases and street-car accidents are listed as taking the greatest toll of life during the cold months. On this point the statisticians com ment: "One-half of the deaths from ir- respirable, irritating and poisonous gases, including those from carbon monoxide poisoning in garages, oc- sur in the four month period, De- cember to March; that is, in the period when there is the maximum
 use of heating apparatus, and
 when windows and garage doors are too often kept closed" Four out of every ten deaths
 from gun-shot wounds were found
 to occur between October 1st and
 the end of the year. While the
 statistics do not disclose what pro-
 portion of these deaths are the re. suit of hunting accidents, probably
 many of them are.
 For some unknown reason deaths by accidental stabs and cuts are less frequent in the final
 third of the year than at any other time," the statisticians report.
 More occur during July than in | any other one month.
 Distinct peaks for accidental falls are in evidence for the widely
 separated months of January and
 July. Fatalities resulting from
 railroad travel are more numer-
 ous from May to December than
 during the first third of the year. Automobile fatalities show 8
 sharp rise beginning with May;
 they increase steadily in Juno,
 July and August, and reach their | peak in the late summer and dur
 ing the fall. Their relative in-
 frequency during the cold months
 reflects the diminished use of mo- l tor vehicles"

OFFENDERS FACE
 FEDERAL HEARINGS
Liquor Law ViOlatOrs Not Likely to Receive LO-
 cal Trials

Violations of the liquor law, Judging from recent developments at Washington and Hartford, will all be prosecuted hereafter by federal authorities. None of the persons arrested for liquor law vio- lation, even though arrested by local police, will be brought before local or state courts but must face federal hearings.
 The only exceptions, as far as is known, will be cases of violation of the state liquor control act, but most of those arrested for such offenses are usually also charged with breaking the federal laws and arraigned by the government on that score. Violations which are solely against the state law are in many cases handled by the liquor commission itself without resort ing to courts. In most such in- stances the commission has acted by revoking the permits of viola tors.
 All of those arrested here in re- cnet months for liquor law viola tions have been prosecuted in fed eral courts or held on federal charges. There has not been a liq- uor law violation case in city court since March and that one instance was a case continued since Decem- Der adn was one of keeping liquor with intent to sell
 These ne developments in con- nection with prosecution will not have any effect on the activities of the local vice squad, which is headed by Capt Dan Carson. Only two weeks ago, this group made two arrests after a still explosion here. One of the alleged violators is held for federal hearing while the other is still at Waterbury hos pital, suffering from burns.
