France Protests.

While the allied powers are moving
to present a united diplomatic front
against Germany's rearmament pro-
gram, France has acted on her own
account to protest Hitler's violation of
the treaty of Versailles. The Paris
government has not only delivered a
note of vigorous remonstrance in
Berlin, but has also called upon the
League Of Nations to deal with the
situation which Germany has pro-
voked.
In both cases the Reich's action
Is assailed on the ground of its Illegal
ity because it consists of unilateral
abrogation of the Versailles military
clauses. France demands that these
provisions shall remain in force until
they are abolished by consent of all
the signatories to the peace treaty.
An extraordinary session of the League
Council to take up the French ap-
peal may be held before the end
of the month, Geneva reports.
No power, Of course, has so direct
an interest in the Reich's military re-
crudescence as France, twice the
victim Of German invasion and ag-
gression within half century. The
French had every reason to believe
that the military terms imposed upon
q beaten Germany in 1919 would re-
move, at least for the immediate future,
the danger of another attack by the
traditional foe" beyond the Rhine.
In the presence of unabashed defiance
of those terms by the Germans, France
is naturally filled with alarm over her
security. The steps she has now taken
are designed to call the attention Of
all Europe to the new peril to peace
which the Reich's plans obviously
constitute.
While successive French govern
ments In recent years have evinced q
desire for peaceful and even friendly
relations with Germany, the advent Of
Hitlerism has rekindled the fires of
nationalism in Paris and strength

MARYLAND and VIRGINIA.
All Other States and Canada,
Help for the Orchestra.

WaShington's National Symphony
Orchestra has won for itself such a
solid place in the life of the COM
munity and in the hearts of its thou
sands Of friends that the question of
its continued ability to exist might
seem remote indeed. The Star sin
cerely hopes there is no such question.
For the orchestra was born at the
outset Of the depression and has
survived four lean years that ended
the life and hopes of less difficult
undertakings. But, surviving this
period in relative health and vigor,
the orchestra now faces another criti-
cal period. 1t must continue to grow
and to assume some of the weightier
responsibilities that come with ma
turity, or to stand still and face the
hazards of mediocrity.
The campaign for funds now in
progress Is about half over. The re-
suits have not been what the orchestra
and it's supporting friends had the
right to expect on the basis of past
achievement. The money sought
100,000-is not to add frills and
furbelows, but merely to enable the
orchestra to meet the peculiar de-
mands upon such an organization
which have been postponed during the
trial period of the past, but which
have been inevitable from the begin
ming. The first of these is to build
around the existing nucleus a first
rate organization of musicians who
may expect a living wage the year
around and who will be able to give
their full allegiance to the orchestra.
The musicians are not able to do that
now. They cannot live on what the
orchestra pays them. Added to the
hazards of uncertain employment.
they have been subjected constantly
to the sort of strain that DR.. Kinder
once described as jumping from the
Isle of Capri" at four O'Clock into
Beethoven's Fifth Symphony" at 4:45.
The ability of DR.. Kinder and of the
musicians to make the National SYM
phony the musical organization it is,
in spite of such handicaps, is nothing
less than remarkable. But such
handicaps should not be continued.
With the permanent organization
contemplated by DR.. Kinder and the
National Symphony Orchestra Asso-
citation, the greater number of concerts
each year, the provision Of season of
Summer concerts on the river bank
at the Lincoln Memorial and the
ability Of the orchestra to respond
to invitations from out Of the city
would be possible. Such a program
would represent a practical guarantee
of the orchestra's future growth and
development.
The orchestra needs everybody's
help. II everybody in Washington
who is interested in the orchestra's
success responds to the appeal for
funds, there will be no question about
the success of the campaign or of the
orchestra,s future.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES Z. TRACEWELL.

Something Is always taking the Joy
out Of life, both for dogs and humans.
The latest Is the dog heart worm. .
terrible canine scourge which has
spread from the South, where 1t seems
to have originated, and has made It's
way to Washington.
Until the last few months no known
cases of the disease were present here
but now several animals are under
veterinarian care as q result OF infesta-
ton by these worms.
The mosquito, menace to man and
animals, is the culprit again.
Department of Agriculture circular
No. 338 says that there are more than
80 species OF mosquitoes which act as
host for the worm, In one of its stages
of development.
According to william q. Davis OF
the National Capital Field Trial Club
mosquitoes and dogs are necessary fol
the development Of this newest pest.
The local club. through Mr.. Davis
furnished C. r. Knight of the Savan-
nah Sportsman's League with material
for q popular broadcast, and 1t is to
this material that we are indebted
also.
Mr.. knight examined a number OF
dogs within a 100-mile radius of the
Georgia city and found comparatively
few of them tested negative in this
terrible infiiction.
A cough is one of the symptoms OF
the disease, followed by swelling of the
abdomen, gasping and collapse.
Since worms perhaps as long as Is
inches are in the heart Of the animal.
there is no wonder that such symptoms
occur. Mr. Davis says that he has
seen q dogs heart which looked like
q bunch Of excelsior used for packing
purposes.
A mosquito, biting q worm Infested
dog, takes In larvae with the dogs
blood and these develop into another
stage and find their way, still micro
scopic, into the mouth parts OF the
mosquito.
A curious thing is that the larvae
are more abundant in the blood stream
OF the dog at night, when mosquitoes
are on the prowl.
This Is another of those provisions
Of nature which strike the human
heart as fiendish beyond power Of ex-
preston.
The worms then reach the heart
of the bitten dog by way Of the blood
stream and grow and develop there.
There must be mosquito In this
vicious circle: the disease cannot be
given from one dog to another with
out it.
It is believed by some authorities
that neas also may prove hosts to the
worm at one stage.
Thus 1t will be realized that every
dog owner should take all precautions
possible to keep dogs free from fleas
and mosquitoes.
Freeing dogs from fiess Is COM
paratively simple, but the eradication
of the mosquito, unfortunately, is
quite another matter, one which re-
quires united and unending effort on
the part of communities and nations
as well as individuals
As Mr.. Davis pointed out in his
broadcast paper, such work at times
seems hopeless. but it must be kept
in mind that the Panama Canal Is q
standing evidence as to what may be
done when man puts his mind. muscle
and money to work on given problem
It is said that large percentage
of the short-haired dogs of the South
are affected. Long g-haired dogs nat
urally have more protection from the
mosquito.

Dog lovers should bear in mind that
this Is not alarmist material. but sim

Another Model" Bill.

New York's unemployment insur-
ance bill, designed to supplement ma
tional social security legislation,
passed the Assembly yesterday at
Albany as the foremost item on Gov.
Lehman's legislative program. A
fight awaits the bill in the State SEN
ate, but New York correspondents pre-
dict its passage.
With the Ellenbogen unemployment
insurance bill for the District now
being marked up after brief hearings
for report to the House in the near
future, it is interesting to compare
some of its provisions with those of
the New York plan.
The local bill would impose three
per cent pay roll tax at the outset.
The New York bill would impose
one per cent pay roll tax which
would increase to maximum of three
per cent with the increase in indus
trial production. II the index shows
no such increase, the tax would not
increase.
The local bill calls for a contribu-
ton from the general revenues of the
District amounting to one per cent OF
the total pay rolls. Mr.. Ellenbogen
has already introduced an income tax
measure which would provide such a
fund-amounting after the first year
to $l,5Ooo0O.
The New York bill provides for no
contribution from the general reve-
nues of the State. The costs of the
insurance will be met from the unem-
ployment reserve funds, raised by the
pay roll tax.
The local bill provides a maximum
Of twenty-six weeks benefit payments.
The New York maximum is for sixteen
weeks.
The bills are similar in pooling all
unemployment reserve funds, instead
of segegating them. as in the Wis
consin law, in the names of the en-
ployers who contribute. The bills are
also similar in that no contribution
is demanded from the employe, the
expectation being that the pay roll
tax itself, paid by the employer, will
be passed on to the consumer and to
wage earners.
Mr.. Ellenbogen has indicated his
willingness to write into the local
measure some provision which would
reward those employers, by tax credits,
who stabilize their own pay rolls.
That is a principle which should
surely be carried into the bill. To
ignore it is to ignore one Of the chief
purposes of the bill. which is to
stabilize employment.
More thought should be given to
eliminating the proposed contribution
from the general fund Of the District,
which means increased local taxation
on top of the special pay roll taxes.
If New York and Wisconsin do not
feel that this additional taxation is
necessary, why should it be necessary
in the District?
One of the admitted handicaps
faced by those dealing with this leg
islation is that 1t is new experiment,
and cannot be judged against back
ground of experience. But for that
very reason the provisions of the bill
should be as lenient as possible in
the beginning, especially those pro-
visions which impose new tax bur-
dens, with the thought that by trial
and error the legislation may be
strengthened where necessary. A
model bill for the District should
not be interpreted to mean a bill that
is far more burdensome than the
same sort of legislation the States are
expected to enact for themselves.

BY THOMAS r. HENRY.

The nervous breakdown" Of the
tired business man often may be .
blessing in disguise.
Such, at least, is the opinion Of DR..
Walter Freeman, professor of neurology
at George Washington University.
The very term nervous breakdown"
is vague, but DR.. Freeman insists that
the condition itself is very much q
reality and describes 1t as "discom-
fort in its widest sense without under.
lying organic cause. leading to de-
gree of disability in the patient"
Coming to o man or woman Of about
40, DR.. Freeman says, 1t may cause
such a person to slow down and thus
forestan a fatal circulatory system
breakdown q couple Of decades later.
1t is one of natures ways Of putting
on the brakes"
The nervous breakdown, says DR..
Freeman, seems to be characterized
chiefly by a lowered threshold of the
nervous system to irritating stimuli
and by increased contraction of the
stomach and intestines. The victim
becomes grouchy. He is sensitive to
noises that hitherto went unnoticed.
He may suffer from headaches or
pains in various parts of the body,
especially the stomach, for which no
organic cause can be found. Sleep.
leSsness Is a common symptom. Or
there may be the fatigue syndrome, I"
the patient being conscious only of an
unfamiliar lack Of energy. In other
cases there may be state Of extreme
anxiety in which q person worries
constantly over trifles.
Some persons, DR.. Freeman said,
have specific "buzzers which warn
them of the approach Of such q break
down, or q repetition. Thus one man
wrist. Whenever this starts he knows
he must take q rest, or the other
phases Of the nervous exhaustion soon
will follow. Another begins to feel
pains In o foot which was injured
many years before. Any old injury,
DR.. Freeman said, is likely to serve
as such a "buzzer," producing dis
comfort as soon as the psychic energy
begins to run low. The symptoms are
apt to follow the lines Of a previous
illness. There may be neuralgia aches
in the face, stiff necks, eye strain,
frequent colds in the head, etc.
One of the dangers, DR.. Freeman
says, lies in making diseases out OF
such symptoms without considering
the condition Of the patient as .
whole. The nervous breakdown Is o
reversible condition which usually can
be cured completely by slowing down
the general pace of living, regulated
diet, etc.
The rather common pain in the
heart" or in the place where per-
son unfamiliar with anatomy thinks
the heart Is located, often Is sympoi
Of thwarted love, says DR.. BENJAMIN
Karpman, psychoanalyst OF the St'
Elizabeth's Hospital stafi.
From the remotest antiquity there
has been o very close popular associa-
ton between the heart and the anec-
tions. This association has become
Incorporated in the structure OF most
languages. 30. in English, the WORD
"heart' has o double meaning. It sig
nifies physical organ. It also means
"love." SO far as IL known there Is
no physical reason for this associa-
ton. The heart tends to beat faster,
due to adrenalin release, in an extreme
emotional state, but no more so In
love than N any other.
