INSURGENTS MENACE
NEW DEAL PROGRAM

Drive Under Way for Bonus and
Farm Refinancing Act.
By United Press
WASHINGTON, July 22-The
threat Of two insurgent movements,
one demanding soldiers bonus and
the other a farm ref1nancing act,
today menaced the Administrative S
legislative program.
Senator William E. Borah
CR.. Idaho foresaw developments
which he believes will hold Con-
gress in session until November.
Senator Borah said powerful in
fluences were at work to attach
both the Patman bonus bill, on
which a veto was sustained earlier
in the session, and the Frazier
Lemke farm aid measure to pend
ing Administrator legislation.

The Senator Is Quoted

MAY !. accordingly quote from the Senators most
w recent statement on the Russian debt? He
saws that the Administration "bhthely ignores 700
million dollars of czarst and Kerensky debts owed to
US" The Senator has been saying things like that
for long time. Seemingly he hopes to hypnotic
the voter by constantly repeating the word debt"
until there Il vague but powerful public notion
that We have valid claim against the SOvets and
that there Is some reasonable way of collecting it.
II does not seem TO me that the claim is valid If
this government insists that the Soviets should
shoulder the debts of the and of Kerensky then
We too would be morally bound to make good the
bonds issued Nv the COnfederacy in our own Civil
War H. is asking good deal to expect the winning
against them. II is particularly far-fetched IN the
Russian situation. since naturally sent troops to

It's time to settle up"
But suppose our claim was G-tght Even IN
that event what would Senator Dickinson purpose
to do about ito And this applies to the whole bulk
of foreign debts including those of Russia 1t sounds
like serious charge to say that the Administration
IS "blithey ignoring" 700 million dollars due us. We
might if you like, gloomily ignore" the debt even
"unwrsthfully ignore" it. But save for some such
sdverbia alteration. what change in policy does
Senator Dickinson dare to press?
When politicians talk of their determination to
collect every last penny owing to Uncle Sam they
are merely punching the bag to entertain and bam-
boozle the multitude To be consistent they would
be obliged to add, and I mean to make good these
words by voting for an armed expedtlonary force

Your Health
by DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN.

TWENTY years ago, doctors had little or no en-
i couragement for persons who were stricken
with infantile paralysis.
Medical progress toward the solution of this
health problem has been moving along rapidly. how
ever, and today the outlook for recovery is very
hopeful In fact, it is not unreasonable to believe
that in the not too distant future the disease will
be brought under satisfactory control.
Today, the death rate from infanitle paralysis
varies. Sometimes one-tenth of those who af-
fected die; sometimes many one-sixth
Epidemics of infantile paralysis vary as well. The
disease much more dangerous to infants under one
year of age and persons past Is, than 1t is TO chill
dren between these ages. Fortunately, the disease
is very among infants
A BOUT one-fourth of those who develop para
IA lyzed limbs recover almost completely. The
rest, about rs per cent, left with paralysis Of
various types.
The worst cases occur in children under 10 years
of age. Apparently the higher the fever during the
acute attack, the more likely is there to be pern1an~
ent paralysis.
When the condition is discovered. it is custom-
airy nowadays to inject into patient blood serum
from person who has recovered from the diseass
or that from normal being.
1t is also attempted, In some cases, TO use the
vaccines which have recently been made by macer-
ating the spinal cords of monkeys after they had
been inoculated with infantile paralysis
Some physicians are convinced that the serum,
if given very early in the disease perhaps even before
paralysis sets in, is of great value in preventing
physical defect.
THE completeness of recovery from paralysis dee

In the first place, nothing should be done until
the severe infection begins to subside Then heat
may be applied to the limbs. and there may be mas
sage to benefit the action of the muscles.
Fortunately, orthopedic surgery has developed
considerable number of excellent operations. Trans
plantation of tendons and muscles and modifying
joints make it possible for some who have been
crippled to walk satisfactorily.
1t is quite usual for the psrayzed limb to waste
away and become smaller and weaker than the
normal limb Sometimes when a leg becomes short
er, there are attempts to transplant bone to make
it longer and there is another operation which
makes the normal leg shorter so that 1t Will equal

tree or plant Is set should be the
same IS was in the nursery and this
point can easily be established by OBJ
servation Of the stem. Firming the
soil about the roots is important, as
1t brings them in closer contact with
the moist soil particles and prevents
drying out. Pruning of the top Is not
as important in Fall-planted trees and
shrubs because, before the next leaf
crop, the roots will be ready to sup
ply moisture. All in all, the home
gardener may very well set his woody
plant material in late October and
early November.
Perennials Under Shade.
MANY local home gardens are
handicapped by the presence OF
large shade trees near the flower
paintings. The owner, faced with the
question OF whether to cut down beau
tiful trees or to attempt culture be-
meath their partial shade, is often in
. real quandry. As time goes on
he learns by experience that certain
species will succeed fairly well In
partial shade, particularly If watered
during critical periods of Midsummer.
Among towering species which will
give satisfaction are the Japanese
anemones or windnowers, columbine,

developed in America to meet the
very different climatic conditions as
compared with Europe and there is
great opportunity for intelligent breed
ers in improving this wonderful flower.
Autumn Planting.
EXCEPT possibly for semi-tender
species, such as Grape myrtle, bud
dleia and some of the roses, late
Autumn is the best time of all the
year for planting shrubs. fruit and
shade trees In this general vicinity.
There are several contributing factors.
Autumn planted material is fresh from
the nursery fields, whereas Spring
material is more often taken from
storage cellars. Plants set in Autumn
become more or less established dur
ing the Winter period and get away
to an early start In Spring before the
soil permits of successful planting. In
Autumn the home gardener is not as
busy as in the Spring and he can
spare more time to dig proper sized
holes for the plants or trees and pre-
pare the soil by Incorporating leaf
mold or peat moss.
Certain simple precautions should
be taken in planting. Broken pieces
Of roots may we'll be cut away with
