HOLLYWOOD. Aug. /. WH =
Speedy Dado, Filipino puncher, to-

the southpaw style of Bobby Pan

The weight for the match is 1872
pounds, which favors Dado. In
training he has practiced slugging
tactics, probably because Leyvas

TEACHERS SIGN
M'CARL OATH

Washington teachers were sign
ing without protest the pledge re-
Quired by Comptroller General j.
r. McCarl certifying that they
have neither taught nor advocated
Communism in the public schools.
At the Franklin Administration

no pressure was being brought to
bear on teachers to persuade them
to sign and that those who did SO
complied willingly.
Under a ruling by the Comp
toller General, payment Of De
cember salaries will depend on the
teachers answers. According to q
decision by the Board Of Educac
ton, the teachers are to he guided
by the opinion Of E. Barrett Pret-

"And further state. without

Of obtaining payment Of salary

dead and that the doctors had no right to
force him to pick up the life he had dis
carded.
To be sure, a nationalist would have little
difficulty in explaining the odd experience
this man had-his emergence. while dead,
into a light, spacious room, where he greet
ed his dead wife and other friends who had
died years before.
Any psychologist could think. offhand,
of half a dozen npressive-sounding words
that would reduce the whole matter to a
relatively simple explanation.
But it is doubtful if this would impress
the hero Of the odd experience very much.
He died and he returned to life, and he
brought back with him a strange, unearth-
ly memory.
The memory will unquestionably remain
green and color his thoughts and actions for
the rest Of his life.

VALLEY ADJUSTMENTS

Sometimes it has seemed TO us that peo-
pie of the Valley have devoted entirely
too much talk to the proposition of at
tracing tourists to our section, and en-
tirely too little thought on what the tour
lists were to do when and if they arrived.
A very necessary requisite to the attrac-
ton of tourists is climate, Of course, but
after the novelty of the first two or three
days has worn off, climate rather pals
on one who is a stranger in a strange land,
and he begins to want to do something.
Feeling as we do, it has been with con-
siderable satisfaction that we have noted
the efforts on the part of several Valley
organizations to supply amusements and
recreations for the visitors within our
gates. A notable example has been the
continuance of previous efforts on the part
of the Brownsville Chamber of Commerce,
which institution has set the pace for tour
ist entertainment.
Twice a week in the chamber Of COM
merce building there have been held en-
~tertsinments, card parties and the like, for
our winter visitors. That these are pop
ular is amply proved by the numbers at

ranged, and visitors encouraged to visit the
southern republic.
During this past week, in cooperation
with the Del Mar resort and Brownsville
business firms, the tourist winter fishing
tournament has proven a very popular
feature. Hundreds Of winter visitors en-
tered the contest, and a good time has
been had by all. We are glad to note
that the contest will be continued on a
weekly basis during the remainder of the
Reason.
Nat McAllen the same sort of general
program has been carried out with parties
for our winter guests, trips to Mexico and
similar rscreational features.
We of the Valley must remember that
\ when we 60 after the tourist we are 60
ing against the keenest competition in the
world. Florida and California both offer
. all manner of entertainment facilities, and
; both states have resorts which are fully
capable of attending to the needs and de-
sires of their visitors to the nth degree.
Every Valley organization will do we'll
TO include in It's plans for the year a well
defined and rounded out program design

who will visit us next winter.

The most common cause for fever in children Is an
infection, such as IN the common cold or sore throat.
All infectionus diseases. as measles, diphIheria. scarlet
fever' mumps, etc. begin with varying degrees OF
fever.
One of the simplest ways to lower temperature is
a sponge bath with warm water. The water may be
s. and 90 degrees or even slightly warmer.
A sponge bath should never Be given in a cold room.
The exposure may be more dangerous than the fever.
Fever. after al. is one Of the signs that the body Is
reacting against the disease condition.
Older children may be given a bath in bed BY putting
a rubber sheet under the child and then washing it
thoroughly by the use OF a clean cloth wet with warm
water. II Is well under such circumstances to keep
those parts Of the body covered that are not being
washed.
After any part is washed. it is thoroughly dried,
then the blanket Is used to cover that part while an
other part is washed. Sponging the body in this man
ner for five 10 ten minutes will lower the temperature
anywhere from one TO two degrees.
After a young child has had a fever and the tenn
perature has returned 70 normal. Il is we'll 70 keep
the child in bed an extra day TO be certain that the
tissues are recovered before the child is allowed 10
get up.
Whenever there Is a fever. the body must be supplied
with plenty OF water. During a fever more water Is
evaporated from the surface OF the BODY.
II the child will not take ordinary water. II may
sometimes be encouraged TO do so # the water is
slightly favored with a fruit Juice. or a little sugar
may be added. A fever also burns tissues OF the body
and the provision Of extra sugar may save some Of the
destruction OF the tissues. There used to be a sup
erstition which advised 10 "starve a fever and feeo a
cold" More scientific study Of the way in which the
body uses food has indicated the fallscy OF this no
ton.
Besides control OF fever by use Of the sponge bath.
there Is the possibility OF prescribing suitable drugs
known TO have this effect.
They should never be taken except under advice Of
a physician and should not be long continued unless
the doctor orders. This applies not only TO the more
powerful drugs such as acetanilid. phenacetin and
sodium ~salicylste. but also to the drugs Of lesser
strength. as aspirin.

From Dread Disease

LOS ANGELES, June l3 UR) -
Quarantine measures were adopted
by the county health department
today as fear of an infantile para
lysis epidemic spread over the city.
Partial quarantine of the general
hospital was ordered after DR.. Phe-
bus Berman, medical director, dis
covered % positive cases of the dis
ease, 20 among student nurses. He
said 40 other patients were under
observation.
Practically all visiting privileges
were suspended at the hospital and
DR.. Berman issued a call for all
available nurses, fearing the cpl
demic may spread over the city as
it did last summer.
while there is no cause for alarm,
we are taking every precaution to
prevent spread of the disease" he
said.
