In January, 1924, Jack sailed to
the Mediterranean and spent sew
eral months darting back and
forth to Algiers, Egypt, Greece,
Italy, etc. From there he vent
to Paris and saw the Olympic
games at Paris that year.
He entered Phillips Exeter
Academy in the fall of 1924 and
was graduated in 1928. In 1926,
he spent the summer months in
Europe, with special emphasis on
France in 1923, got himself a job
on liner and worked his way to
England, where he obtained job
in the London bureau of the
United Press, working there until
the Olympic games at Amsterdam,
and then trotting over to that
Netherlands city to help cover the
games for the United Press.
In the fall of 1923, he entered
Yale university, with the idea of
studying medicine. After two years,
he decided that he would sooner
be a newspaper man than a doc
tor, so he turned and majored in
history. He was graduated from
Yale in 1882.
I'm 1881, he hurried back to
L Europe, working in the United
Press bureau in Paris for three
months, and then going to Mos
COW, by way of Berlin. BY chance,
he happened to be on the same
train as George Bernard Shaw.
"And there went another illu-
sion," recalls Jack. "He isn't
really God"
Jack had grand time in Mos
COW. The night he left the tenn
perature was about 102 degrees
above and he donned a Russian
shirt for comfort. In the party
were a group of American news
paper men and while they were
waiting for the train, heavily
laden Russian peasant approached
the group.
He surveyed the entire group
closely, then walked up to Jack
and poured out a flood of fluent
Russian.
He wanted to know when a GER

The Sins of the Strong

A NYBODY with the slightest familiarity with
n labor wars in America must realize that at
least 30 per cent of the violence has been intro
duced by the employers. If worker throws a rock
a hired guard responds with a machine gun. I still
have no belief in violence. out if to be rid Of
it we ought to have mayors and Governors and
Presidents who just quick to restrain the
company gunman as the worker with a slingshot.
And there is, in addition, that slow and safe and
respectable sort of violence which many employers
impose upon many hired hands I heard lady
from Larchnont once express high indignation be-
cause a striker was carrying his small cho with
him on a picket line 1t seemed to her heartleSS
and cruel that the child should be exposed to the
elements But neither the lady from Larchmont
nor the employer had the slightest conjunction
against paying a nonliving wage under which that
same child could starve quietly and sedately at home.
Most of us are peculiarly calm about the outrageS
and the suffering which go beyond our sight.
And we take precautions not to see too much.

About PenGHce Parties

TN glad I swore of my sense of humor for 1884
because several of the newspapers profess to SEE
something terribly comic in the fact that group
of writing men and women went to big hotel to
protest against the treatment accorded to walters
bus boys chefs and kitchen helpers. 1t was the
attitude of the press that somehow or other these
people did not fit properly into any such sort of
gesture.
I can't see why. Certainly the general public
has a large and vital concern in both the hotel
and taxicab strikes. Not only does humanitarian
ism above the general public but sheer intelligent
seIf-nterest as well. After ALL the salaries of walters
and of taxi drivers paid largely by the patrons

Your Health
by DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN-

TINE most contagious time in whoopng cough is
4 before the whoop.
Even before the peculiarly wheeling type Of
coughing develops the organisms which cause
whoopng cough are being spread about to those in
contact with the infected person These organisms
get into the Innings of the breathing tract
Persons who infected seldom sufficiently
sick to be isolated during the early stage of their in
lection During this stage they cough and the drop
lets of sputum containing the germs infect others.
If it were possible to isolate every one who had
been in contact with the patient having whooping
cough for long time to know whether the one ex-
posed was going to get the disease, whoopng cough
might be brought under complete control.
ONE of the most debated subjects among specials
~ lists today is the value of different types of
cines in preventing and treating whooping cough.
Most doctors believe that giving the vaccine early in
the infection will shorten its duration
Most of them also believe that the vaccines do
little, if any, good when they are given to those who
are already whoopng.
The Danish investigator Madsden, able to
study an epidemic of whooping cough in the Farce
islands He found that the results Of whoopng cough
much more serious in those who did not get
any vaccine than in those who did get vaccine, and
also that in those who injected with vaccine the
disease was much milder and did not last as long.
FOLLOWING injection of the vaccine there are oc-
4 casional cases in which there is a slight rise in
temperature and sometimes little swelling at the

there does not to be any reaction to these
cines.
Most authorities advise, however that they should
not be injected into children under l month Of age.
Whooping cough generally is regarded as mild
disease whereas actually it be one Of the most
menacng that attacks human beings.
From time to time all sorts of remedies have been
suggested for use in controlling the condition Actu-
ally nothing that is rubbed on the skin no vapor
that can be inhaled, has been found 10 be Of much
value.
Belts have been developed which help TO support
the abdomen and chest of the child who is coughing
These seem to give a certain amount of relief
AS with other infectious diseases, the complca-
tons are far more serious in causing death than IN
the disease itself.

pealed, and the machine enabled
him to speak to the most distant
backwash of the crowd.
He bent radio to his ends. Prac-
tically every newspaper in the
state was against him. Long
tossed his voice into every house
in the state. Naturally, he was
against every newspaper, and this
was his principal campaign issue.
Huey has pleasant voice, a
plausible delivery, and a man-to-
man style that makes friends and
convinces even those who know
better.
He's not we'll educated (for-
mally speaking, and he's natur-
ally uncouth; but he makes him
self sound more ungrammatical
and crude than he really is. He
