You're Telling Me?
BY WILLIAM RIFT

By WILLIAM RIFT
The governments plan to stream
line Thanksgiving turkeys to fit
the streamlined ovens OF today
won't work until they streamline
our Thanksgiving appetites, too.
Tampering with Old Gobbler. the
great American bird, may bring
revolution, and II 1t does, you can
depend on our citizens to defend
their rights with their best silver
plated knives. and forks.
This turkey tinkering, TO federal
farm experts. may be only food for
thought, but to us who eat it's
downright indigestion.
It begins to look as though the
turkeys aren't the only ones losing
their heads over this Thanksgiving
business.
Next thing we know these reduc-
ing experts will be cutting down
BUR cranberries to the size of BIB
shot. That would be a body blow, In
more ways than one.
While we are shuddering with
horror over that prospect. suppos-
ing they decide to reduce the tradi-
ticnal mince pie to apple tart size?
Let's call a halt on these turkey
trimmers now, otherwise, on
Thanksgiving. q free and sovereign
American ~citizenry may find itself
driven to hamburger sandwiches
and o bowl of chill. Ito stave off
starvation.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2O.-The
worst thing that can happen to you
in Washington Is to be appointed q
cc-ordinator. The fellow who once
had to empty a well with a sieve
had a soft snap compared with the
job of trying TO coordinate parts
Of the New Deal.
The latest victim is Peter Grimm.
a New York real estate man and
protege Of Secretary Morgenthau
wh5 Is supposed TO coordinate the
various New Deal housing activities.
A recent confidential SUI 80 found
that 81 government agencies had
definite responsibilities IN housing"
The most important ones are FILA,
PWA, RIA. FERA. RFC, Hole, FCA,
and WPA.
In as many OF those agencies as
could be covered in a day. n found
a grim undercurrent OF opposition
to Mr.. Grimm. It reminds you Of the
way people got to feeling about that
co-cTdinator Of co-ordinators, Don
aid Richberg.
Whether or not an adherence Of
being co-ordinated has anything to
do with it. the people who struggle
with housing here almost unanim-
ously CRY out a belief that Grimm.
who has handled the Aston and Nor
genthau properties in New York,
seeks TO maintain high mortgage
rates and discredit low-cost housing
efforts, in the interests of big banks,
mortgage agencies, real estate conf
panies, builders and insurance com
panies.
Where Troubles Began
Grimm'S troubles began when
Roosevelt appointed Fred Delano, the
presidents uncle. as chairman Of a
housing coordination committee,
with Grimm as Delano's assistant

EuitUr JOuIHal OF the american Meuc1I ASSOCIATION,
and Of Hygeia. the Health Magazine
Twenty thousand people die every year in the Unit
ed States from appendicitis. The rate Is gradually in
creaStng. 1t was ia per cent for every hundred
thousand people in 1910. 1874 in 1920, and 1871 In 1890.
The average age at which death occurs from appen-
dicitis Is S2.4 years, in contrast TO an average age Of
S6.s years for tuberculosis. 60.7 years for cancer, and
64.7 years for heart diseases. Obviously appendicitis
takes away human beings at q more productive age
than any Of the other serious diseases.
Several factors are primarily responsible for this.
First. people wait too long to find out what is wrong
with them. Second, they postpone operation as long
as possible. Third, while they are waiting. they try to
get rid Of their pains by taking purgatives, or else
they quiet the pain by taking injections Of sedative
drugs or morphine. Lastly. some cases are diagnosed
too late OF a wrong diagnosis is made and the appen-
dix ruptures before the operation can be performed.
The one symptom which is practically always pres
ent in appendicitis is pain. II the pain is very severe
and stops suddenly, one should not feel too happy
about it.
In many instances this is because the appendix has
ruptured. and the next occurrence is peritonitis. Peri
tonitis is an infection and Inflammation OF the lin
ing of the abdominal walls. This is a far more serious
condition than appendicitis.
Another sign Of appendicitis is severe tenderness
over the spot wnere the appendix lies. DOCTORS also
place much weight on the appearance in the blood Of
an increased number Of white blood cells or leukocytes.
In at least so per cent of cases Of appendicitis. the
leukocytes rise from an amount around 1000 for each
cubic millimeter Of blood to figures like $4,000. 10000
or more.
Doctors can point TO some interesting statistics show
ing how life is saved when operation for appendicitis
Is done early in the attack.
For instance. only Is per cent Of patients died in one
group when they were operated on during the first
day Of attack. This figure moved up to 36 per cent
Of deaths when patients were operated on the second
day of the attack: SO per cent died when operated on
the third day Of the attack, and 1919 per cent died the
fourth day.
Nowadays the surgeon has to use very good judy
ment i'm deciding Just what to do when he first sees
the patient with appendicitis. If the case is an early
one. he operates Immediately.
If. however. the patient has gone through the worst
of the attack and the condition is ~subsiding. he may
wait a little while before operating. II the patient
is exceedingly sick with a secondary peritonitis. the
doctor has to make the decision according to exactly
what he finds at the time when he sees the patient.
In Philadelphia a campaign OF education led TO a
great lowering Of the death rate from appendicitis
The presence Of severe pain. particularly when that
pain was in the area Of the appendix. and because
they learned to get the earliest possible medical at
tention in the presence OF these alarming symptoms.

4 YESTERDAY I told you about a
Il landplane forced down into the
water Nov I want to enlarge on
this incident and stress the develop
ment Of life-saving apparatus for
airplanes since that accident &C
CURED. II vas only a short time
after this experience that lifebelts
we're employed BY the Navy on SINH
lar flights.
Since the Navy operates the
greater part Of the time over water.
each naval aircraft IS equipped with
a ufebelt, which IS quickly inflated
by tripping q little trigger on a cyl
inder attached 10 the hfebelt and a
lifeboat which is inflated the same
way. So you see. the picture
changed considerably and this story
all came about from the time when
men knew little or nothing about
what would happen when such and
such a condition arrived.
You have no idea of the thrills Of
living in an age when you know
that the story has not been written
and that your hand grasps the pen
that will reveal and contribute
something to a cropping world.
of course, the Navy makes con-
slant use Of such information that
accrues from its operations. Both
pilots, mentioned yesterday, sat
down and wrote their Impressions
and described their accident in de-
tail. From that information came
the necessary material TO save other
people from similar circumstances
for since that time there have
been many landplanes forced down
IN the open sea.
Briefly. it has been found ex-
pedient 10 follow this procedure in
such a case. Motor stops, you're 60
ing down, headed for the water.
the best thing to do is haul up close
TO the water and then stall the ship
in-in other words try TO get the
tail vet before the wheels touch. It's
a pretty difficult task and requires
great deal of skill BY lowering
the tail first, the plane will prac-
ucally stall and thereby touch the
water at the lowest possible speed
and save the pilot some shaking
up.
QUESTION: have heard of
planes having "a extra lifting sur
face. Where would this be?
This would be a small, supporting
surface, or wing, placed between the
two wheels of a plane. This surface,

It's a Delicate Question

TT takes the most delicate timing to determine the
precise instant when a bank ceases to be solvent
and becomes insovent busted 1t is like trying to
define the instant when person ceases to be awake
and is asleep Yet banker assumes an obligation to
do just this and to slap down the window and run
up the white flag, refusing to accept another dollar
of the peoples money at the exact moment when he
longer in position to pay Off Many fnancierS
of that day obviously continued to accept the neigh
bors savings at a time when they had a reasonable
doubt of their ability to keep going. This would have
been feonious conduct.
Certainly it a familiar story in the days when
the banks we're popping like toy balloons on New
Years Eve that this that honest toier went down
to the and showed in few bills against the
mortgage the rainy day only to discover next
morning that the bank blew up an hour later.
That cutting the time pretty fine.
! may be wrong in assuming that all such cases
are Federal matters, but the Department of Justice
has been so active in the pursuit and extinction OF
people who rob banks that it seems reasonable to
expect the authority and zeal in the cases of
banks which rob people.
At any rate, the Department of Justice while 1t
has been quite confding not to say garruous, about
the achievements of its fy-cops, the Omen and
dead-eye dicks, in Analysing cigaret ashes and read
ing footprints for clews to catch the redneck type
achievement if any in the less spectacular field of
prosecution.
With the local police forces so largely composed
of small-town loaferS and former high school half
backs who like to ride motorcycles and toss their
locks at lady drivers, the necessity for Federal
police force is readily conceded and the paincothes
men under Edgar Hoover to be congratulated on
their success against the rural bad men who we're
setting the laws pretty much at naught while ago.
