Cobb Has Fallen AUuY

MOT to evade sad conclusion, he has become a
social risk when he is full of mule and the pity
CT = is that he still thinks it somehow unmany and
compromise with principle to do his nibbng on the
potter liquors which are now made available to him.
New York is modest and that is why New York
never has troubled to challenge the tradition that
the South enjoys superior taste for stmulants and
is accustomed to the best Even during prohibition
New York never was quite without respectable mer-
chandlSe and as soon as the bootegging industry
emerged from its formative stage and became rec
ognized part of the of the CITY, the people
forgot their fears and settled back to enjoy their
drains.
Certainly New York never bothered to create
tradition that New Workers whisky experts The
truth is that they are the best judges of liquor in
the country because they have enjoyed supplies of
superior stuff uninterruptedly.
And with the best bartenders in the world ready
to serve them they naturally get better jueps than
the people of Louisville
AS for Mr.. Cobb's pretensions to authority let it
be said that Mr.. Cobb hasn't been a Kentuckian
Tor many years and has fallen away so far that in
the last election he made speech on behalf of
the Republican nominee for Governor of California
He may remember when there was good bourbon in
kentucky but that only goes to show how long he
has lived IN New York and how little he has known
about Kentucky in the last twenty years

MOST of this merchandise was brought down

sportsmen of Cicero, ILL.,, and though much of 1t
was bathtub it was nevertheless very superior stuff
by comparison with the available local supply
AS prohibition spread over the South the peo-
pie began to go back into the drt-road country
and buy crooks of overnight whisky from the farm
ers. And presently the demand became so great
that the farmers moved to town and set up their
tin aforementioned stills in the shanty out
skirts to eliminate lost motion between con-
sumner AND producer
In time, too, the local public enemies introduced
further merchandising efficiency into the trade,
banding the producers into syndicates but the prod
uct itself never improved and the Southern taste
eventually began to regard corn liquor as good
liquor. That is why, to this day. with the repeal
of prohibition and the coming of more or less pot

Your Health
BY DIR MORRIS FIsHBEIN-

or course you know that mosquitoes can carry
~ malaria and yellow fever from person to another,
but probably you do not realize how many other
diseases there in which insects are responsible
for the spread
In 1893 it was demonstrated that Texas fever
could be transmitted by cattle ticks. Since then,
many other diseases have been added to the list
Actually any insect which sucks blood may be a
carrier of disease.
Besides malaria and yellow fever the disease
called flariasis is spread by mosquitoes. In 1878, an
English doctor showed that the parasites called
farae can be transmitted by the bite of infected
mosquito.
When these flariae get into the veins and lynn
phatic vessels they block the flow. This results in
large engagements particularly of the legs and pro-
duces disease called elephantiasis.
A MOTHER disease for which mosquitoes are re-
I n sponsble is the one called dengue known also
as breakbone fever" or dandy fever" which
prncipally>in hot areas. The region around Tampa,
Fla suffered greatly from this condition during the
past six months.
The disease is called "breakbone fever" because
of the pains in the BONES and dandy fever" because
the person who gets the disease walks with a good
deal of difficulty because of the pain and stiffness
This disease seldom kills persons but it can weaken
them and lay them up for considerable periods of
time
So far as is known the only way to get rid of the
disease is to get nd of mosquitoes that carry it.
LILIES of different kinds have spread various types
Il CT disease. In Africa the tsetse fly spread the
African sleeping sickness, trypanoSomiass.
The house fly spreads disease by feeding
first on manure and decayed materials, and then de-
posting its filth on food The stable fly spread
disease in the way, but it also bites persons
casionally Another disease spread by biting flies
is deerhy fever, tularemia.
The flea also is capable Of piercing the skin TO OBJ
tain blood and in this way transmitting Infection
Such diseases as plague have been associated with
the bites Of feas.
Finally, there are the body lice. which transmit
disease by spreading filth They associated chiefly
with spreading typhus fever. which has also been
called ship fever and Jail fever.
Various methods have been worked out for pre-
venting spread of disease by insects Insecticides
such as sulphur doxde and hydrocyanic gas, are
potent in destroying insects in large numbers, but
because of their danger to human life they should
never be used except by those who understand their
techc Of control.

1t is among these university

sentiment on the part of these

is attracting so much publicity.

~EORGIA'S famous corn
" whisky may be very fine for
some of the grizzly throated ma
tives, but the members of the
Presidents party don't think so
much of it.
David Lilienthal, Tennessee
Valley mogul, was inquiring with
a grin what the boys at Warm
Springs thought of it. They shook
their heads gravely. Lilienthal,
feigning surprise, retorted:
We'll. the newspaper men ought
to be able to stand it. AS matter
of fact, this Georgia corn whisky
is very historic liquor"
With a wry face. some one in
the party snapped back:
Yes. very historic. It's the rea-
son Sherman made his march to
the sea. He was looking for
water"
TT has been done so quietly that
i few know anything about it, but
the President just has heaved a
large sized brick5at at the motor
mogulS.
Basis for it was laid on Nov.
2 when he announced 90-day ex-
tension of the auto code. AT that
time he also promulgated a study
of the possibility of changing
automobile employment from a
seasonal to an all-year-round
basis.
This survey now has been
launched, and therein lies the cup
of gall for the motor magnateS.
The latter had moved Heaven
and earth to persuade Roosevelt
to have the study made by
board consisting of representa-
tives of the Commerce, Interior
and Labor Departments, with DR..
Leo Wolman as chairman.
The President turned thumbs
down on this proposal.
He put the investigation in the
hands of Leon Henderson, ex-
officio member of the NRA board.
and DR.. Isidor Lubin, head OF
Bureau of Labor Statistics. two
of the most competent and liberal
economists in the Administration.
More than that, he gave these
two young men full power to pick
their own assistants and to hold
open hearings.
This last authority is some
thing that the auto manufactur-
ers have vigorously opposed
throughout the history of their
code.
Henderson and Lubin lost no
time in making the most of their
opportunity. AS their chief aid
the man who actually will direct
the study-they appointed Rich
ard H. Lansburgh, another liberal
economist, Secretary of Labor in
the first Pinchot cabinet in
