He Could Hare Been Wiser

MO, the parson must have reused his flock with
some tale concerning Joshua of old who would
not even permit the sun and the moon to trespass
on his plans of battle. for it is recorded that this
great colonel of Israel cried out in loud voice,
Sun. stand thou still upon Gibeon and thou. moon,
In the valley of Aialon. And the sun stood still
and the moon stayed until the people had avenged
themselves upon their enemies"
This is rather heady doctrine to hand out to young
MethodIsts. anybody else upon bright May Sab
bath
think the preacher might have been a little
wiser had he given the militant young Methodists
the sequel, or shrttail as newspaper would have
1t, to the episode The Good Book does say so the
stood still in the middle of heaven and hasted
not to go down about whole day" But it quickly
adds and there was no day like that before it
after It."
We live under the new dspensation and 1 trust
that when next the young Methodsts go on lawless
rampage the police will tell them kindly that they
are not the law and the prophets that Col. Lasher
or the Methodist marching club isn't Joshua and
that the moon has gone down in the valley of Aja.on

Your Health
by DIR. NORRIS FIsHBEIN-

NOTHING disturbs home as much as the sud-
~ den illness of a child. and particularly of a
baby. In the first place. the baby can not express
itself to let the mother know what is wrong.
If the baby is SICK it usually cries or manifests
fits illness in ways different from its usual actions
There are certain changes that may take place
which indicate illness that any one can see. First
Of all is vomiting.
Vomiting is not a natural way for baby to act.
Some babies vomit much easier than do others.
They vomit il they are handled too roughly soon
they yomit if food does not agree with them
A S the baby gets little older, it may vomit
N simply because it does not like the food does
not want TO eat. This vomiting gets 20 be habit.
II II Is understood and be controlled there
Is nothing to worry about. but persistent uncon-
trollsble vomiting is something else again and means
consultation with a doctor.
The ordinary baby is not drowsy when it ought
TO be awake. Any time that baby seems extremely
drowsy any time that its eyes roll upward when it is
disturbed. without attempting to fix the eyes the
source of the disturbance the baby is likely to be
sick
Normally the baby is without fever. If the skin
gets hot and dry. and if a thermometer placed in
the rectum indicates that the temperature of the
baby is above 996 or 100. something is wrong with
the babyS mechanism and should be investigated.
CERTAIN infectious diseases show themselves by
~ the manner in which they affect motions of the
limbs
If the baby holds the arm or leg in a certain po-
sition and cries whenever the arm or leg is moved
from that position. careful study is needed to find
out whether one of the serious infectious diseases is
beginning
It is Of course taken for granted that any mother
will recognize the presence of commissions. of dis
charge from eyes, ear ANY mother will rec
ognize abnormal excretons from the bowels partic-
ularly of material that is fluid of the wrong color
or containing blood.
These are danger signals. Any time any OF these
symptoms appears il is wise to call doctor at once.

The whole thing seems to me completely upside

police good and loyal citizens and preservers of

be that peace can be kept only by those who

But there is further complication in the fact
that the parade was headed by Col. Ward H. Lasher

/. That for the first time since
the issue of immediate payment
was raised there is a favorable
majority in the Senate. This
means that sooner or later
bonus bill will become law re-
gardless of presidential opinion.
2. That the Senate's action in
rejecting the Harrison compro-
mise and the Legion backed Vim
son bill in favor of the Patman
measure unwittingly pulled Roose-
welt out of q bad hole.
This seeming paradox is made
clear by an explanation Of what
took place on this issue behind the
scenes.
A group of leading Senate DEM
ocrats-chief among them Robin
son. Harrison and Byrnes-come
I'D for reelection next year. Prl-
vately they are opposed to the
bonus.
But they face difficult contests.
So they decided on strategm.
They would climb on the band
wagon-but their kind OF wagon.
THEY evolved the so-called
i Harrison compromise. under
which the veterans would have re-
ceived a portion of the fact value
of their certificates.
This scheme they laid before the
President. and although he is
against the bonus. the Senate
leaders understood that he agreed
to accept the Harrison plan if
Congress passed it.
Hence, it was that when the
Senate. much TO the panied sur
prise of its authors. turned thumbs
down on the Harrison compro-
mise. the President found the
chamber had done him great
favor.
II had saved him from making
good on a promise that was not
only distasteful to him, but was of
very questionable political value.
The compromise would not have
satisfied the veterans and in &C
cepting il the President would
have laid himself open to the
charge by bonus foes that he had
bowed to political expediency.
Likewise. the Senate's turn
down of the Vinson bill played
into his hand. He would have We
toed the measure. Furthermore,
there was strong likelihood that
he would have taken a licking in
Congress. with the bill passed o7er
his head.

camp of CALIFORNIA; historic days

In a deep, twisting gulch buried
beneath a verdant canopy of trees,
sourdough shacks will present a
realistic picture Of that colorful
era when the names of Jimtown,-
Hangtown, Whisky Flat and Mok-

An old, wooden door, warped by
the winds and rains of more than
four score years, will add note
of authenticity to the scene, while
the eyer-present Chinese laundry,
iron barred banks, blacksmith
shop and hitching posts will line
the streets of the camp.

applications for space on the Ex-
position midway have been re-

At the present time, the amuse-
ment zone is more than go per

been made by the concession

Children from / month, 3

on scheduled days and hours, be
examined and charted by pedia-

guidance. The originals will re-
main in the council files for selec-
ton, at the conclusion of the Ex-
position, of the Is most perfect

These IS most perfect young

date, the feeling is that Califor-
MIA, the West generally, the ma

offered an opportunity to see not
only visual story of the build
ing of the great empire which is
California, but to view the APP
proach of new era of progress
and advancement in the West.
Since San Dio"o is the oldest
city in California, it is fitting and
proper that it should set the ex-

recovery.

farmer and his wife, and farm
hands, will operate this model
establishment where midget COWS,

In a midget shed will be housed
the tiny parade wagons and

A further note of realism will be
lent to the occasion by the stage
coaches and the burros which will
form the only ingress to the camp.
Many special events are being
planned for Golden Gulch, to
heighten the realism of the scene.
There will be a shooting gallery
with device to put out all the
lights on the street momentarily
as each bull'S-eye is hit.
The old cider mill, which will be
