We are not a race of drones; fortunately
for the progress of the world, work isn't
naturally as abhorrent to the average hu-

believe.
Means are at hand to prevent the ex-

employment under definitely harmful con-

authorize the bureaucratic intrusion which
unquestionably would follow ratification of

One OF the most sensible m
against the adoption by the Texas legisla-
ture Of the SO called federal "child labor
amendment" appeared in a recent issue Of
the Galveston News. The editorial so per-
fectly sets forth the views Of the opposi-
ton that we reproduce it below in full.
We Are Not a Race of Drones
Although the Texas legislature is one of
the 26 or so that have refused to ratify the
proposed child labor amendment to the
federal constitution, approach Of another
session brings a movement to revive the
issue. 1t was one of the topics before the
convention of the Texas Federation Of
Women's Clubs at Austin this week, which
heard speakers argue for and against rati-
f~ication.
The proposal which would give congress
power to "limit, regulate or prohibit the
labor Of persons under Is years of age was
submitted in 1924. Proponents had about
given up the fight, but apparently have
derived new hope from the awakened So
cial consciousness attending the new deal,
needless of the fact that the NRA has vir-
tualiy eliminated the admittedly objection
able forms of child labor. Very little prac-
tical occasion remains for this dangerous
extension of federal police power. The
enthusiasts who are trying to associate it
with President Roosevelt's advanced social
views gain no encouragement from him.
Obviously the president doesn't consider
the amendment a necessary weapon to
combat the child labor evil. III he did, he
certainly wouldn't hesitate to advocate its
adoption. Mr.. Roosevelt has been a fear
less champion of the economically oppress-
ed, and especially of children.
AS a matter of fact, citizens who may be
regarded as especial advocates of the
rights of children are far from unanimous
In supporting the child labor amendment,
though a good deal Of the pro-amendment
propaganda seems to assume that it is op-
posed only by the exploiters of child labor.
Some whose interest in child welfare adj
mits of no doubt consider the amendment
unnecessary and a potential source of &C
tual detriment to the cause.
We are sure that a great many educa-
tors, for example. share the views express
ed the other day by M. K. Moore, Beaumont
superintendent of schools, before the Bust
ness and Professional Women's Club of
that city. Mr.. Moore said that a distinc-
ton should be drawn between the contract
type Of child labor, formerly prevalent in
American industry, and the industry, and
the individual type of labor which in many

The disease that used to be called Group nowadays
is likely to be called acute l~aryngitis or occasionally
steptococcic sore throat. 1t represents an inflamma-
ton OF the larynx and throat in which usually the
streptococcus is involved. but occasionally a germ
called the staphyloccus may be the cause.
The most serious form Of infection In the throat is
that due TO the germ Of diphtheria. In the other
types the tissues OF the throat are usually swollen
and red and there Is a good deal OF thick, Eummy,
mucous material SO that the voice Is hoarse and
breathing occasionally difficult.
In dIphteria q thick, adherent membrane forms In
the throat and in certain severe forms OF steptococcus
Infection q membrane viii form also, but IN general a
thick. white membrane is typical Of diphtheria.
Occasionally the swelling In the throat may be SO
large as TO cause great difficulty In breathing. with
wheeling. In other cases the swelling may spread
rapidly from the throat into the bronchia tubes and
pneumonia may follow.
In the worst forms the fever IL high. the breath
ing rapid. and the patient is very i'll. such cases
do not occur frequently in the summer months, but
with the coming Of cold weather. children often are
affected by this disorder.
In the simplest cases Of Group, the doctor usually
advises that the child be put promptly to bed, given
plenty OF fluids and occasionally relieved by the tn
halation Of steam which may or may not be medi-
Gated, according to the doctors orders.
"nen the coughing Is severe, the doctor can pre-
scribe sedatives which win relieve it. II the throat
is sore, an ice-pack around It win help.
In severe cases in which there may actually be OBJ
~struction, the immediate attention Of the physician
Is OF the greatest Importance. He can arrange for
the breathing Of oxygen II that Is necessary, even
giving the oxygen through tubes passed through the
nose.
He can arrange for introduction OF q tube into the
throat which makes certain that the air will pass
suitably through the larynx. In the most severe
cases It may even be necessary to make an opening
into the ~windpipe from the outside so that the breath
ing may 90 on until the patient has a chance to over
come the lammatic
Any case in which there Is great swelling In the
throat and difficulty In breathing must be considered
serious because breathing is necessary to life and
even a sudden blocking Of a few minutes may result
fatally.
