Your Health
by DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN'

THE aftermath of summer vacations frequently
i is earache. Earache means infection, in most
instances.
When you go bathing, and especially when you
dive or swim under water the water and the bacteria
may get into your middle through the nose, be-
cause tube passes from the nose into the ear.
You may wear rubber cap over your head and
even put rubber stopper in the outside ear, but
that will not keep the water from getting into the
nose and the Eustachean tube.
When you get out of the water, if you blow your
nose and hold both nostris shut at the time, you
are quite certain to force the water and anything
that may happen to be in the water, into your in
ternal ear.
When you get an earache, it is not safe to con-
slider the condition lightly Any infection in the ear
may be serious because it may proceed an infec-
ton of the maStoid region and from that even Co
an infection of the brain.
OF course, the most foolish of all is the person
~ who has infection, with material discharg-
ing from the eardrum, who goes swimming while in
this condition. He stands the chance of introducing
the infection from both inside and out.
Nothing could be more dangerous to health and
life than performance of this character.
When you have an earache do not try to treat
it by putting all sorts of things into the ear.
Your doctor will tell you that the only thing
worth while and safe for the average person to put
into his is little warmed glycerin. This is
dropped in gently with medicine dropper and the
ear is plugged lightly with cotton to hold the warm
glycerin in place.
While this will not the Infection it will help
alleviate the pain and give your body a chance to
promote healing. However, the safest procedure is
to have competent doctor look at the eardrum as
soon rs possible

farmers don't know what money
looks like. They have plenty OF
potatoes in their cellars, plenty of
hay in their barns, and plenty of
corn and wheat in their bins. So
when they get these acreage al
lowance checks from the govern
ment, they're fixed. 1t don't make
no difference where it came from
or who has to pay it back, they
want these checks, and any Re-
publican who opposes these checks
would get mobbed.
Besides George Norris is the
best Democrat we have in Ne

FINALLY, after weary trips to
L the Capitol and proper en-
dorsements from the proper SEN
ator, the girl in the outer Office
beckoned.
81 can't give this to you here"
she said in stage whisper. Come
into Mr.. Jones Office, where all
the job seekers can't see you."
Then she produced letter to H.
j. Alexander, one of Friant's as
sistapts, which meant that the
job was won.
The next step was to sign eight
separate application blanks chiefly
for the civil service commission
and for the purpose of blanket
ing" the employe into civil service
after he has been on the govern
ment pay roll for three months.
This is scheme evolved by
Democratic patronage grabbers
for getting aorund the civil service
rules of half a century. Appointees
to the AAA are exempted by law
from civil service; but later they
receive automatic civil service
status in order to make their jobs
more permanent.

astronomers mark the beginnings of the But
this is whim of the star-gazer. Behind it lies
reality enough
The earth is moving in a great fattened circle
around the sun. Beyond, in all directions lie the
stars The earths real motion around the sun makes
it look to us as though the were moving against
the background of stars. The ancients mistook this
appearance for reality and until the time of Copper
nicus and Keper and Calico, most believed
that the sun really was moving around the earth.
TINE two points where the ecliptic cuts the celestial
i equator are known as the euuinoxes They are
the vernal and the autumnal equinox and mark the
beginnings of spring and fall. Midway between
them are the solstices. These mark the beginning
of summer and winter.
The first day of is usually the longest
day of the year but it frequently happens that
or two days before two days after

the days from June II to June % are all of the
same length-15 hours and IL minutes.
Immediately after the sun has reached the sum-
mer solstice it begins its journey back toward the

ecliptic and the celestial equator again meet Soon
the days begin to grow shorter, at first, only by

1t is not possible by searching
the words of the statutes to arrive
at a prophecy as to how these re-
formSNwill work. We live under a
government of laws. But the laws
are administered by men, and men
are moved by their ideas and by
events which can not be foreseen.
THE authors of the federal re-
u serve system did not and
could not foreSee the actual OPP
Grafton of the system in all of it's
many impacts upon the finance
of the world. 1t would be naive,
therefore, to suppose that we can
foresee how the new laws regu-
lating the capital market will
work. In matters of this sort,
what men have to rely upon final
~ is the purpose which the re-
forms seek to express. For if
they have agreed on the purpose,
they can by administration and
amendment achieve as much of it
as circumstances will permit.
Broadly speaking, it may be said
that for the first twelve months
while this new legislation was in
the making there was the pro-
fouldest uncertainty as to what
the purpose of the reforms real
ly was.
The first securities act, the first
stock exchange bill, the bankers
investigation reflected the mood
of the great panic of 1932-1933.
They were angry proceedings. In
Washington men were moved by
righteous indignation; in the
financial communities men were
terrorized and sullen.
IN the last three months this
mood has given way to a realiza-
ton in Washington that reforms
must work, and in Wall Street
that reforms are necessary. Until
recently many men in Washing
ton were half-persuaded that a
privately conducted capital mar
ket could never be reformed eff
fectively; and in the financial
centers many were persuaded that
the real purpose of the reforms
was to destroy the private capital
market.
The time has come to settle
down to work under the new deal
in finance. The reforms have been
instituted. Their boundaries and
their purposes have been estab-
lished. They are not going to be
repealed and for reasonable
time to come they are not going
to be enlarged substantially.
Washington has carried out its
pledges and Wall Street knows the
new rules.

ments on night work. Large gobs
of publicity have flowed from the
departments press bureaus on the
efficiency with which the crop
checks were sent to the farmer.
But for one actually at work
compiling and sending these
checks the efficiency was nowhere
apparent.
The new AAA appointee was
put to work beside a young chap
in the Subreview section of the
machines unit who was supposed
to give necessary instruction.
He announced glumly that he
was from Maryland, had once
worked in the census bureau, and
like most workers from Maryland,
Virginia or the District of Colum-
bia, expected to be dismissed any
day. Western and southern Sena-
tors have launched a campaign to
GUST the workers living adjacent
to Washington, who under Repub-
lican administrations packed the
government.
Our job was to check the con-
tracts for the curtailment of cot
ton, wheat, ETC., and make sure
that the punch card machines
which licked out the figures made
no mistakes. On the basis of this,
the farmer received his check.

TINE United States naval air
l. force, while three years be-
hind its schedule and deficient in
equipment and personnel, is gen.
orally rated as the best in the
world.
It has somehow managed to OBJ
tain maximum return for the
dollars available, to operate with
a minimum of internal friction
and to gain the friendly ear of
congress for its needs and plans.
The Scripps- Howard investiga-
ton of the nations aviation prob
lem disclosed that the army air
corps is about five years behind
schedule, that it is sharply def
Gent in fighting planes and per-
sonnet and that it is questionable
whether it could offer adequate
defense of the nation in the event
of an emergency.
Congress in 1926 authorized a
five-year plan by which in 1881
the army would have had 1900
planes and the navy 1000. The
army has never attained it's goal,
but the navy has.
Further and proper growth OF
the navy air force was prevented
because of two factors. First,
there was the shortage of money
since 1881, and, second, it was
authorized to have a maximum of
only 1000 planes.
That limitation, however, re-
Gently was removed by enactment
of the Vinson- Trammel bill, which
authorized 2,184 navy planes-the
number estimated as required for
fighting vessels and carriers if
the navy is built to treaty
strength. While the bill provided
only authorization and not the
actual funds for construction Of
the planes, it opened the door for
later appropriations.
The navy bureau Of Aeronautics
was forced to resort to constant
transfer of equipment during re-
cent years to provide planes for
new vessels. There had been
added to the navy fifteen new
cruisers, one dirigible and one
aircraft carrier, but no authorize
ton for the 212 planes needed
for these vessels.
TN addition the President had
i authorized construction of
two new carriers and four adj
ditional cruisers; and two addi-
tional cruisers had been appro-
priated for by congress. These
vessels, to be completed during
1886, would have required 273
more planes.
Every time new vessel took the
water the navy shifted planes
from other ships or from bases.
Partial relief came this spring
in the form of a grant of $780,
600 from the public works adj
ministration, enabling the navy to
order twenty-one patrol planes,
seventeen bombers, eight utility
amphibians and two transports,
including engines, propellers, radio
equipment and instruments.
There also was a balance left for

He keeps a chart on which are
marked columns representing
every state in the union. These
columns in turn represent jobs,
and each time senator sends a
job-hunter to the AAA, his col
umn is heightened by one space.
Each time also a senator protests
that his candidate can not get a
job, Friant takes from his desk
and shows the senatorial pro-
testant that his quota-his col
umn-is full.
TINE secret of landing on the

fact so much that he had come

injustice of working on the night
