HUMBLED
BY DAISY MOORE BYNUM


I walked the path that leads out to
the hills;
Ny feet we're shod to scale the
greatest height,
My eyes were wide to discern all
things,
My heart, exultant as an April
night.
When I had come upon the highest
peak
Where all the stars leaned low
to pray
NV heart grew humble, and I bent
my will;
I am Just a servant, and my
feet are clay.

Bad Medicine at Home

A ND. again, the little note to Russia has such far
n reaching consequences shat the next ~viigante
mob in California or elsewhere which seeks to COM
bat labOrs right to organize may have a sneaking
feeling that it acts under a semi-official sanction.
1t is palpable now that hysteria has reached a
point where even the mildeSt kind of liberalism is
hailed in some quarters as "a red menace" Surely
Mr.. Roosevelt ought to know that. AS one of the
chief targets of the Hearst attack it is indeed curious
that the President should give aid and comfort to
the drive.
If our State Department is going to take the atti-
tude that We are offended because of things said
about us by American citizens on Russian soil we
may be compelled to sit in trepidation trying to
think up excuses for Japan whenever a new issue Of
Vanity Fair is about to appear.
1t may be that the Russian note has gained votes
Tor Mr.. Roosevelt, but he has paid one of the highest
prices known in the history of American electioneer-
ing. Not to labor the point, I wish to state that 1
think the note was unfair and a gross mistake.

"A Huge Stake in Peace

IT seems evident that Russia desires no more lands
Il and that it is by every dictate of self-interest
committed to keeping peace unless attacked. Whether
you see the Soviet regime as successful, semi-suc-
cessful or failure. Russia has her hands so full of
the business of creating a new sort of society that
war would be utterly repugnant. But Russia has one
of the most powerful armies in the world.
I am very far from suggesting that any such ali-
snce as that existing between France and Russia
should ever enter our mind. But, Just the same, our
world position is distinctly helped by having Russia
rs a going concern in geographical proximity to Ger
many and Japan.
OF course, even a sharp note from our State De-
partment is not intended as a bombshell to dismem-
Der Russia. but it might be a pebble capable of loos-
ing avalanches. Japan put in a protest to Moscow.

not win because the active saboteurS in the team
we're determined to lose, were deemed to have been
just as vile in their betrayal of American ideals as

seven traitors to the trust of the American public.
None of them ever was allowed to engage in pro-
feSsional baseball again, and two years ago, long
after they had passed the age at which ball players
are retired from active service for natural causes,
Judge K. M. Lands sternly refused to readmit an
illiterate member of the old conspiracy even in the
humble capacity of bat caddy and handy-man
around the clubhouse of a minor league team.
Next to Benedict Arnold and Grover Bergdoll, the
seven ball players were generally regarded as the
fOuleSt traitors in American history, although they
had, at worst, merely understaken to lose some ball
games, the outcome of which could have no effect
on the public welfare. The national fury toward the
men was something to behold then and is something
amusing to look back on in the old files now by
comparison with the public attitude toward Mr.. Walk
er's administration as Mayor of New York, toward
Mr.. ,Harding'S Administration in Washington, with
special reference to his Departments of Justice and
the Interior, and toward the conduct of succeeding
generations of public officials in Chicago.

DAVID DIETZ

THE virus of infantile paralysis may enter
i through the stomach as a result Of being swal-
lowed, DR.. John A. Toomey, chief Of the division OF
contagious diseases at the City Hospital, Cleveland,
and associate professor of pediatrics at Western Re
serve University Medical School, maintains.
In the current issue of the journal, Science, DR..
Toomey challenges the theory that infantile paraly-
sis or poliomyelitis is always contracted through the
nose.
The theory now widely accepted is that the germ
enters the nose, attacks the ~olfactory nerve and. by
travelling through this nerve, makes It's way 10 the
brain and spinal cord.
DR.. Toomey, as a result Of researches conducted
in Cleveland, believes that this theory is not sufh-
Gent. He points to the fact that in many cases the
involvement is greater in the lower portion of the
spinal cord than the upper portion, and sometimes
appears first in the lower portion.
DR. TOOMEY points out that when the virus of
- poliomyelitis is injected into the brain or nose
of a monkey, the animal dies, but that the clinical
picture of the disease differs from the kind seen
in human beings.
"~Poliomyelitis is thus produced, but even though
this is poliomyelitis, it is not the kind of poliomyeitis
seen in the human being" DR.. Toomey says.
Our objective should be not only to produce the
disease, but to produce it as it appears clinically. II
we can produce poliomyeltis in the experimental
animal in the same way as it is seen in the human
being, it is plausible to suppose that the route taken
to produce it in the monkey might be the same as
that taken by the virus in the human being"

- mentS. has also brought to light a new disease
which he thinks may have been mistaken for mild
attacks of poliomyelitis in the South and elsewhere
where recent epidemics have occurred.
The new disease, 95 cases of which have been OBJ
served in Cleveland during August, is a CASTRO
neuritis with spinal fluid changes" It's symptoms
are violent headaches, tenderness in the upper por-
ton of the abdomen on pressure, increase IN the
cells of the spinal fluid and increase IN the
Iymphocytes or round white blood cells.
Fortunately. the new disease is mild. being aSso-
Grated with little fever and usually clearing up IN
three or four DAYS. DR.. Toomey says that he believes

because Of persistent vomiting, children with
- whooping cough sometimes lose a great deal
OF weight. II is, therefore. necessary to watch the
diet closely. giving small amounts Of exceedingly
nutritious foods at frequent intervals.
Large amounts Of food should be avoided, since
they cause more irritation and more vomiting. The
best time for the small feelings is 10 to Is minutes
after a coughing spell. A diet containing milk, eggs,
butter. fish, chicken. meat and vegetable SOUP is best.
Dry, crumbly foods should be avoided. Fresh
orange juice drinks are helpful in this as in other
infectious diseases.
Nowadays there are available special vaccines for
whooping cough which seem TO be good in many
cases, and a number of physicians have reported
successful results with the blood Of convalescent
patients which is injected into the muscles OF the
one who is sick.
There are many excellent drugs which aid in
~quieting the child and in relieving it from the diff
cult cough. These drugs. however. are strong enough
so that they should be given only under the direction
of a doctor.

The Diesel engine is far more
important that any single indus

so important in the scheme of
things because it is a ource of
power. Civilization is built upon

Man progressed from a nomad

Great Britain's dominating po-

was due to the fact that she was
the worlds greatest producer of
power, producing three times as
much energy as the United States.
Today the situation is reversed.
American production of power is
three times as great as that of
Great Britain. That, rather than
the World War, caused world
dominance to cross the Atlantic.
The war merely focused the at

Important to Them

NATURALLY, there are individuals. including the
N President, perhaps, to whom the reelection of
Franklin DelanO Roosevelt in 1886 must seem the
most important thing in the world. Indeed, there
may be one or twO-and 1 suggest Jim Farley and
Louis HOwe-tO whom it seems the only thing.
And yet there are considerations Of an interna-
tiOnal sort which may have a bearing on your life
and that of your son and your sons son. These
should not lightly be thrust aside.
In my opinion the peace of the world today has
as its chief hope the maintenance of the prestige and
power of the Soviet republics. I am not arguing the
merits or dement's of Communism. 1 merely wish to
point out that Russia stands as a brake upon the
territorial ambitions of Hitler and a tether to the
rowing inclnations of Japan.

For the first time in history, Wall

connections.
Now the job is done. The SEC

These developments represent
the triumph of engineering brains,

Stronger and lighter alloys, for

which made the present-day
