Your Health

II MERE is enough evidence proving that colds
are caught by transmission of germs to war
rant the warning that persons with severe colds say
III PED and that others stay away from them if we
want to prevent spreading Of infection.
Since colds are not always caused by the same
germ use OF Vaccnes to prevent colds would hardly
seem to be justified. Injection of stock vaccines
would seem to be shot in the dark
We also know that colds attack persons in poor
health generally. This is especially the case when
their bowels disturbed and when there are diff
culties which prevent proper breathing through the
nose.
IF rooms are poorly ventilated the chance of
4 catching cold from other persons in the room
is increased.
When there are disturbances which keen the
mucous membranes in the nose and throat from
cleansing themselves in their usual manner by de-
velopment of mucus which raoistens the surface q
cold is likely to develop.
OF course, everybody knows by this time that the
chief danger from cold is not the cold itself but
possibility of a secondary infection of the sinuses
development Of pneumonia and secondary infec-
tons of heart and lungs which may be exceedingly
serious, if not fatal
NUMBERS of different germs and viruses and
IN varying conditions have been associated from
time to time with colds
These germs include not only the one known as
the bacillus of influenza, but also the germ which
causes pneumonia the SreptococcuS that causes sore

Today S Science
by DAVID DIETZ-

GONE day the earth will have no moon instead
~ there will be a great ring around the earth
not unlike the rings of Saturn composed of millions
OF tiny bits of rock. Those chunks of rock will
represent all that is left of the moon
The basis for this prediction is to be found in
Jne tneory now generally accepted by astronomers
10 account Tor the rings around the planet Saturn
TheSe rings 1t IS known from SpectroScopic evidence
consist of millions of chunks of rocks They have
constituted one Of the major mysteries of astronomy
ever Since Calico sighted them with his first little
telescope in 1910.
The theory for the formation of these RINGS
Is tidal theory Every one knows that great tides
are caused in the oceans of the earth by the tidal
pull of the moon. The fact has also been estoh
1Shed IN recent years that the moon likewise causes
tides in the crust Of the EARTH But these tides be-
cause Of the nature of the earth's crust are too
small to be seen easily. Their existence however.
has been demonstrated by delicate scientific in
StrumentS.
Now it must follow that if the moon causes tides
in the earth, the earth must cause tides in the
moon. We not observe these tides however be
cause there is no water upon the moon.
THE planet Jupiter is very much larger than the
earth and one of its moons is very close to if.
In the case Of this moon, the tidal effect can be
observed because the pull of Jupiter on this moon
is so great that in the telescope the little moon looks
egg-shaped
According to recent calculations each planet is
surrounded by what might be called danger zone
for moons moon approaching within this zone
would be subjected to so great a gravtatonaI pull
that it would be broken to pieces.
Many astronomers think that the moon under
discussion will eventually drop into this danger zone
and that as result it will be broken up and so
eventually form ring around Jupiter.
TINE rings Of Saturn are inside of what would
Il constitute Saturn's danger zone and so it is
thought that the rocks composing the rings con-
stitute the remnants of what was once another
moon.
Now one effect of planets gravitationaI action
upon a moon is to slow it up. AS its velocity de-
creases, 1t draws nearer to the planet. This means
that our moon is gradually drawing nearer to the
earth.
Like any other planet, earth has danger
zone Some day-and it is long way off-our moon
will enter the danger zone It will begin to break
up. Eventually there viii be a ring around the

Similarly, washington probably
has never had an Administration
more thoroughly determined to
play the good 'neighbor" to Cuba
than that which exists at this mo-
ment. President Roosevelt has
proved this by actual practice IN
half a dozen ways.
Yet political conditions IN TINS

extremely menacing. President
Mendieta is beset by hostile fac
tions apparently bent upon snip

factions still heap criticism on the
United States for its imperial

rampant.
Ambassador jefferson Caffery,

only the latter may try case in

Mr.. Trenchard became a counse-

to practice in Bridgeton. For eight
years he was the city solicitor and

nominating committee. This COM
mittee, in turn, chooses a slate of
officers. There is no alternative
ticket.
Exchange members vote either
for those hand-picked for them,
or they don't vote at all.
BY this "rotton borough" system,
it is claimed that the MorganS
have been able to keep pompous
old Guarder Richard Whitney, as
president of the Exchange despite
strong opposition.
That the exchange rulers see
the handwriting on the wall and
are trying to stave off Federal in
tervention is indicated by their
action last week in naming two
dissenters on the 1885 nominating
committee.
But the maneuver failed to
placate the opposition.

be satisfied with the sop of

nominating committee, demands
not merely house-cleaning of
incumbent officials, but liberaliza-

Court of Errors and Appeals,
a shaggy sheepdog of a man,
dignified, benign, remote.
