paralysis is "antibodies," protein substances in the body. Some chil- lren naturally possess these anti bodies, and that seems to be the reason why they escape poliomye- litis.
 Although the proteins themselves gan be found easily, there is no chemical method of distinguishing enc protein from another.
 Some proteins are antibodies against infantile paralysis, some against diphtheria, others against other diseases. Most of them are specific" which means that they protect against but one disease.
 How To Tell
 The only way to discover whether a child possesses the infantile paral- ysis antibodies is to take some of his blood serum.s mix it with the virus which causes the disease and give this mixture to an animal, us- ually a monkey.
 If the mixture fails to give the monkey paralysis, that is proof the child carries some immunity to the disease-that he has the right an- tibodieS.
 These same tests show also wheth-

CT the new vaccine produces the protective antibodies in the blood of children previously found to lack them.
 Only these complete tests show whether it is the new vaccine or just luck, which protected the 5000 to 7,000 persons receiving the vac- cine.
 Tests Tedious
 Largely for that reason the good record of the 5000 to 1000 vaccina- tions to date is not regarded az sufficient evidence.
 The complete tests are tedious and have been possible to date on net more than about 150 of the thousands vaccinated The 150 indi- cate that the vaccine is good, but the number is regarded as too small.
 Moreover to be convincing to medical men they must be con- ducted under all the varieties of outbreaks known. Under the New York plan the vaccine will go to various parts of the United States but only to physicians and health authorities in position to conduct controlled experiments.

 At Kennecott, the reopening of the xennecott copper mine is already having stimulating effect, he pointed out, and the Fairbanks Ex- ploration Company project in the Ester Creek region is getting favor able results.
 Arrives by Plane
 The Governor arrived on the PA plane yesterday af ternoon from Fairbanks, accompanied by his Sec retary, Harry G. Watson, and Mrs. Watson, who had been visiting in Fairbanks Gov. Troy and MT. Wat son had flown from Anchorage to the Interior City It was on this flight that they had an opportunity to enjoy the fine hospitality of the Healy Station road house on the Alaska Railroad. Shortly after they passed over Healy their plane, pi- loted by Murray Hall, Aeronautics Inspector for the Territory, ran into a snow storm and Inspector Hall circled back to Healy for a landing awaiting passage of the storm. They stayed at the road house that night last Friday-and continued on to Fairbanks the next afternoon after Murray Stuart, PAA pilot, had 1 flown from Fairbanks to assist in clearing run way on the snow field and help start Halls motor, which also had been storm bound" iue to sitting out in the cold all night.
 At Matanuska
 From Anchorage, where the Gov ernor visited his daughter and son. in-law, MT. and Mrs. George Lingo, the Chief Executive inspected the Matanuska colonization project and declared it to be coming through 100 per cent Harmony rules among the settlers and those in charge, he said, and remarkable progress is being made. A total of Al of the houses are now completed and most of the families moved into them. All will be completed in another week or ten days with favorable

 s'Col. Hunt is very high class man and doing an excellent job" Gcv. Troy said. The Colonists are a high type of people determined to succeed. The settlers all agree Mat anaska Valley offers good soil, good climate and real opportunity, and they are taking advantage of that opportunity
 Praises Road Construction
 Road work is another of the ex- cellent achievements at the project. The Alaska Road Commission, Ike P. Taylor, Chief Engineer, Hawley Sterling, his assistant, and c. M. Edmunds. district superintendent of the Matanuska road work, has done and is doing great work in giving every settler road to his place, the Governor said. Every ore, he said, was praising the road official fer the way in which they had con- ducted construction and carried it forward this summer.

 Indication of the interest in the project is shown in the fact that more than 700 applications have been received thus far from famil- ies wanting to take the places of the 3l who have gone back to the States. These applications come from all Over the country, and most from Pennsylvania.
 The settlers have good hay and vegetable crop this season and live stock is coming in, the fatrmers specializing in thoroughbred Guern- sey dairy stock.
 The travellers encountered some real. rain storms on their trip, Sec retary Watson reporting that one night in Anchorage 1.39 inches of rain fell. an especially heavy fall for that city. Seward had difficult ties with it's power plant and scores of slides held up trains along the Alaska Railroad. At Healy the side of a mountain slid down, covering the track for some 100 yards.

They had intended to go to Fairbanks by rail, but the slides made service impossible.

THE VALUE OF FEAR

WHY is it that man who is all pohteness
w on the sidewalk loses his manners when
he gets behind the wheel of an automobile
and snarls at the other driver? The question
is often asked.
The answer may be this Man, as driver,
functions almost wholly as a mechanism.
Man, the mechanism, is man at his lowest,
animal level. He is a creature of action and
reaction. His more lately evolved qualities Of
foresight, philosophy, mercy are dormant His
adrenal glands that make him want to fight
the other fellow are functioning strongly
If this is a fact-and it will be a good
hypothesis to work on-let us meet the driver
on that plane when We want to curb his reck-
lessness. In spite of all appeals to intelligence
and decency our traffic toll continues to
mount The man behind the wheel can sell
dom be reached by such appeals. He is oper-
ating on lower frequency. But the old
adrenal gland is working. It not only makes
him aggressive, also directs his fears. Let us
then make use of fear
His is not the fear of highly developed i'm
agination. He does not curb his speed be-
cause he thinks of a broken body in a hos
pital. with white-faced mother bending over
it, He can not think of the bitterness of
bearing on his conscience through the years
the death Of a fellow being. If he thinks of
these things, he disrnisses such thoughts, be-
cause, in his animal pride, he thinks he can
do dangerous driving so expertly that nothing
will happen. He is even prouder of the car
he selected than Of his own body (of which it
seems to him but an extension), and he has
foolish faith that it will do anything for,
him. Fear of a crash on the road is not
enough. BY the time he has seen the danger,
it is often too late. No, we must give him
a constant, certain danger to fear-a danger
in which he believes.
That danger is the presence on our streets
and highways of motorcycle officers and plenty
OF them. Motorcycle officers who work for
police commissioners who will not make ex-
ceptions of the wealthy and inf1uentialO The
most confident driver seldom thinks he can

$50 or 500 in fines. He will slow down drive
carefully. Fear of capture will do what
preachments have failed to do.
We are not belittling the higher functions
of man or discouraging him in their exercise.
We only urge that, when in our homes. Offices
and pulpits, we be philosophers enough to face
the facts. One big fact is that fear is the
most wholesome influence that can be brought
to bear on ourselves or the other fellow when

THRIFT-AND TAXATION

GONE opponents Of the tax bill are attempt
- ing to arouse the public's rage by calling
It a bill to tax the thrifty.
It obviously is not that at all 1t would
be lot better bill if it we're. And the truly
thrifty citizens those who prefer to see the
taxes they pay, would like it better
The present bill won't raise enough to keep
the Federal government going three weeks. So
the thrifty will continue to pay the lions
share Of the cost of government as heretofore
in taxes that are hidden. Not because of
this BILL but in spite of it.
What Goes the word thrifty mean? It
means exactly what We always thought it
meant. Economical. frugal saving That is
the standard dictionary definition. which gives
as an example "a thrifty farmer" This
doesn't mean, to be sure, that very rich per-
son not also be economical. frugal and
saving. You hear of one such, now and then
--Hetty Green. for instance, whose bcnnets
used to last for years. But Hetty didn't get
rich just by saving. You've heard it said that
Andrew Mellon still has the first million he
ever made, but you know that something
more than frugality and 15-cent lunches went
into making him a multimillionaire.
Truly thrifty citizens will not object to
taxes intended to make the rich pay more
than they now do. The truly thrifty, how
ever. will prefer to have the principle of abil-
ity-to-pay applied to all classes of incomes.
These of the truly thrifty who are able to
lay something aside for rainy day or for
their own old age, want the government on
a sound fiscal basis; they want to see the
government catching up with its debts they
want the threat of desperate infationary
measures removed. The tax bill in its present
form accents that threat.
Those Of the truly thrifty who are having
a hard struggle making ends meet want the
governments taxes brought out in the open
and no longer hidden in the form of sales
taxes. They know that sales taxes take pro-
portionately more from themselves than from
the rich or well-to-do.
Soak-the-thrifty? The tax bill now before
Congress doesn't touch the truly thrifty But
the tax system. which this bill only pretends
to improve, certainly soaks them plenty.

OUR TWO REPUBLICANS

INDIANA had been given to understand that
l. it had II Democratic congressional repre-
sentatives and one Republican. But now it
appears that there are only 10 Democrats and
two Republicans The addition to ranks of
the minority in Congress is Rep. Virginia
Jenckes who was elected as a Democrat but
is now trying hard to disguise herself.
Indianas congressman have not always
been the most courageous and frank when
election time nears. We have one who has
catered to Republicans ever since his term be-
gan and who undoubtedly has prayed at
nights that the huge non partisan bloc at
home would see his virtues and swing his way
because after ALL he was half Democrat (the
lp-servce half) and half Republican.
But apparently Virginia Jenckes is not that
way at all She refuses to even pay lip service
to the New Deal ideals. If Mrs. Jenckes wants
to be a Republican we won't argue with her.
1t makes no difference to us whether person
is a Democrat or a Republican. All We want
is a program and honesty in carrying out that
program.
Mrs. Jenckes has deserted the President in
his battle on the gouging and selfish power
lobby, the same utility trust that fights every
effort to give lower power rates because it
means a cut in the tremendous profits which
go not to the stockholders but to the utility
barons.
Now Mrs. Jenckes has deserted the Presi-
dent on his tax bill. That is all right. 1t is
not good bill and it should be junked. But
our complaint is that Mrs Jenckes has picked
up the Republicans argument and is using it.
almost word for word, to explain her stand.
If Mrs. JenckeS sees more in the Republican
leadership (which is little less than zero)
than she does in President Roosevelts, let her
run as Republican in the next election.
If we're going to have good government, we
need honest legislators.

SUGGESTS OFFICIALS BE
PAID ON HOURLY BASIS
Br ]. A. l

By J. A. L.
AS a reader of your paper for a
long time, would like to comment
on two articles in a recent issue.
The articles were an editorial on
Public Shirkers," and a letter in
the Message Center entitled, Be
lieves Official Salaries Are Too
High"
The truth is there are public
shirkers and official salaries are too
high. Public sentiment should be
so stirred up on this kind of graft
that all Office holders be paid hour
ly rates for the actual time they
serve the nation, state, county, or
city. I can not see where any Of
fee holder is entitled to something
that he does not earn. And if he
takes salary for anything he did not
earn, he is only doing what many
persons are sent to Jail for. In
either case, it is simply taking
something to which he is not right
fully entitled.
I do not want to be understood
as singing out any one person. 1t
is a fact that in this country,
hundreds of thousands of dollars
are paid out for services that are
not rendered. Salaries should be
abolished and office holders simply
paid for the time they work.

VICTORY AT LAST

UTISELY, Senate conferees decided to give

security bill to so to the White House minus
the Clark amendment which would have
exempted security plans from the Federal
system.
Injustice will not be visited on the 800 pri
vate old-age annuity systems, since the con-
ferees agreed to a study of the whole question
before the old-age annuity tax becomes oper-
alive That date being 1887 Congress can work
out an amendment TO the act next session,
dealing fairly with both private and govern
ment systems.
Thus ends in victory a long and uphill
fight led by American reformers to win the
beginnings Of security for millions of working
men and their families.

CAN'T TAKE A JOKE

THE latest tempest in a teapot" to dis
turb international good will is being
brewed over cartoon in smart American
magazine. 1t is a good illustration of how
little thing, unimportant in itself, may some
tlnes weigh heavily in the delicate relations
on which depend the friendship of peoples.
The page of cartoons was based on an
old wheeze, which every high school and COL
lege editor has used at one time or another

gan delivering soapbox grafton against
capitalism, w. R. Hearst becoming ambassa-
dor to Soviet Russia, and the japanese en-
peror getting the Nobel peace prize.
1t is very old form of joke among comic
artists so threadbare in America that no one
could possibly be shocked by it or even very
much amused.
But the japanese emperor, bemedaled and
uniformed, is represented drawing a cart on
which lies ribboned scroll representing the
Nobel prize.
1t was not the implication that Emperor
Hirohito is perhaps less peace-loving than a
Quaker which drew Japanese resentment and
brought Ambassador Sato rushing back to
Washington from his vacation to handle
japanese protests.
1t was the fact that Hirohito believed by
many of his subjects to be virtually a divin-
ity, was shown at the mental task of pulling
a cart. To pious japanese, this is a gratui-
tous affront, not to the policies, but to the
person, of the emperor.
Americans can not understand this at all.
President Roosevelt and Mrs. Roosevelt have
been lampooned far worse by this same maya
zine. But they understand American humor
and American political cartooning. They

japanese must try to understand two things
in this connection:
First, that this artist, while attacking the
public policy of the emperor, probably had not
the slightest idea Of affronting the emperors
person. and undoubtedly did not know he had
done so until it was explained to him.
Second, that the American government has
not and can not have any control over such
cartoons.
1t is hard to believe that any real harm
will have been done by this frolicsome and
to the American point of view, quite inno-
cent bit OF satire. But it Goes show why
peoples must try to understand better each
others point of view and be tolerant of it.

of preventing local sentiment af-
fecting congressional votes or pres
idential decisions. Sound reason
ing inspired the writer's of that sec
ton of the Constitution.
The Roman Empire fell into de-
cay because the relatively small
population Of Rome was able to
dictate the government and taxa
ton of all the known world. The
result was that all the rest of the
known world of that era was forced
to provide the livings of the Rom
ans without any reciprocal benefits
other than the doubtful ones of
having Roman governors and tax
gatherers.
There is an analogous situation
in this nation today. Some seven
million voters virtually are given
the power to determine-through
their representatives-how much
some one else shall pay for the priv
ilege Of having those seven million
and their families as guests.
Add to the seven million the
nearly 100000 Federal employees,
the countless hordes who live of
the states, counties, cities and
smaller governmental units and
you have an imposing number Of
voters.
Most Of them could not, for their
very lives, cast truly impartial,
unbiased vote on a political issue.
