Drugs Obtained From Toads

The ancient Chinese obtained the
powerful drug digitalis and a form
Of adrenalin from the toad by putting
pepper in its mouth so that the animal
would secrete the drugs from its skin
The giving-off Of digitalis and adrena
lin by the toad WAS a form of self
protection. Its enemies did not like
the taste. and If they did eat the toa
they often died.

Effect of Hot Bread

The public health service says that
as TO which is considered the harder
to digest, hot or cold bread, is point
upon which scientists disagree. Many
contend that hot breads are injurious.
while others point to the fact that
many. persons eat hot bread through
out their entire lifetime without i'll re-
suits. There are, no doubt, many fac
tors entering into the matter-the
health Of the individual concerned, the
character Of the bread and perhaps the
occupation Of the individual or his &C

2 states and issued q complete reports along with
"a special and supplementary reports These in
volve cities as large as Milwaukee Rochester d
Dayton. A complete report on Los Angeles is now
being prepared The engineers have exclusively
tested fire apparatus for cities planning to purchase
new equipment, and have made recommendation as
to the efficiency of fire departments, which have
been almost universally accepted and acted upon by
municipal officials.
In cooperation with the Edison Electrical In
stitute, through-going tests Of electrical devices and
wiring methods have been conducted. The Engi-
neers have likewise played a prominent part in de-
veloping training and drill schools for fire depart
ments.
One of the more important activities Of the de-
%partment has been its cooperation with the National
Association of Public School Business officials A
self-inspection blank has been prepared, to be used
by school authorities and fire departments. By
making periodical inspections, school hazards can
be discovered and corrected.
Work such as this is responsible for a tremend-
Gus leSsening In fire loss. The money it costs is
saved to the public manytimes over, and its bene-
fetal effect is especially marked IN the case of the
policyholder, who eventually pays less for his L.
surance than he would otherwise. 1t deserves the
support and cooperation, not only Of public officials
but Of the public at large.

MAYBE THEY WERE HONEST

The action of the House of Representatives in
voting down the death sentence" { a d S e Of the
Wheeler Rayburn utility holding company bill, has
been followed by a vast amount of recrimination, de-
nunciation and plain name-calling.
1t is said, for lie, that the vote was
swayed by a powerful utility lobby which led the
Representatives around by b j r noses, at the ex-
pense of the public interest. And, on the other side
Of the fence, it is said that pressure from political
sources likewise caused Representatives who were
really against the bill, t ovote for it.
1t doesn't seem to have occurred to any Of these
commentators that the Representatives may have
simply voted as they are supposed to vote-on the
basis of what they honestly believed to be in the
public interest and compatible with their duty, and
that the vote thus reflects the genuine sentiment 70
the nation.
There is evidence enough to suggest that as the
true answer More than a million people wrote
their Congressman about the bill-and the majority
Of the letters opposed the death sentence. When
the hearings were held, a legion Of responsible OBJ
servers testified for and against the bill-and again
the majority was opposed to the d a b sentence.
Some Of the best known Of the Representatives dur
ing the floor debate, spoke against the death sent
ence-and their arguments were not political, but
social and economic.
1t IS certainly reasonable to assume t h a the
Representatives who voted for the bill believed that
the death sentence was good and necessary-and it
is also reasonable to assume that the large majority
which voted the other way were equally sincere and
honest. The death sentence lost by around a two
to-one majority-and the best guessers as to the
state of public opinion think that a national referen-
dunn would produce about the same result.

SANE SAFETY MEASURES

Writing in Public Safety, Robert l. c. til n
points out that there are three factors involved in
solving the automobile accident problem-Educa-
that enforcement represents the weakest link in the
chain, and makes specific suggestions for strength
ening and improving our legal machinery for coping
with reckless and incompetent drivers.
First, every state should enact the standard
drivers license law, providing for a thorough ex-
animation for licenses.
Second, there should be more suspending and
reyoking Of licenses OF drivers who are congenitally
unable to operate their cars safely.
Third, separate traffic courts should be estab-
lished whose purpose should be educational as well
as punitive.
Fourth, traffic schools should be set I'D for vio-
lators Of driving laws, under the supervision of the
police department. This has been done in several
cities, and the work is meeting with great success.
Fifth, there should be more adequate protection
for pedestrians-who are the worst sufferers from
and overhead and underground passages across con-
gested intersections
Sixth, a Citizens Advisory Committee should be
created IN every city to cooperate with the Commsi-
sioner OF Motor Vehicles in an effort to further in
crease the efficiency OF traffic law enforcement, and
to educate and interest the public IN safety work.
These suggestions are simple and workable. and
they can be put into effect in any townorcity. They
point the way toward saving thousands Of the lives
I b a t are now needlessly destroyed by automobiles
each year.

secretary of the "Y", asserted that
the Hughes speech had displeased

Scruggs issued his order only after
a vain attempt to persuade James H
