OUR postoffice authorities are
~ now making a comprehensive
survey of air routes and air condi-
tons. looking forward to the trans
portation of air mail to Europe, TO
Hawaii and to Alaska.
From present indications it ap-
pears that within the next three
years Congress will be asked for an
appropriation to establish these
transoceanic services. At the
same time, rumors are floating
around in air circles about negotia-
lions that are supposed to be under
way between England and Denmark
toward establishing d British air
base in Iceland. Denmark controls
Iceland and an air base on this
island may be an outstanding fac

route.

A ONE HOUSE LEGISLATURE

The customary first bill passed both
houses of the Texas legislature the first day
our solons were in session, and according
to custom it provided an appropriation Of
$500. 900 for the expenses of the 90 day
regular session.
OF course, the bill had to be passed, and
equally of course, we presume that under
existing conditions and forms of govern
ment the half million dollars for which it
provided is a reasonable enough sum.
But on almost the same day this bill pass
ed the Texas legislature. there was called
to our attention the system recently APP
proved by the voters of the state of Ne
braska, who have approved a zone house"
legislature, and who by their action nave
cut down the expenses of law making for
their state to the flat sum of S37,5 500 per
year.
Under the two house system the annual
cost of legislating was $4,000 a year,
30 It will be seen that the new system has
cut off a cold two thirds, effecting a saw
ing to the state.
f Should the same pro rata of saving be eff
fected in Texas, II would cost us S170,0 900
for the regular session as against the $780,
600 at present.
Not only would a unicameral system Of
of law making cut down the expense, but
by cutting down the number of solons, it
appears to us It would inevitably result in
better laws all the way round.
Take our present set-up of 149 state rep
resentatives and 81 state senators, giving
US q total of $50 persons assembled in Aus
tin every two years in regular session and
goodness knows how many times in special
session, according TO the will Of the chief
executive.
Can anyone believe that these 100 men
and women, tossed into the political mael-
strom that always attends a session of the
Texas legislature. give us the best laws or
even the best considered laws. possible?
Can any one successfully maintain, for in
stance, that either Representative Angus
tine Celaya Of Cameron county or Repre-
sentative Homer Leonard of Hidalgo coun-
" could not equally as well represent both
Hidalgo and Cameron counties?
III Jim Neal, and Archie Parr before him
could represent some dozen counties in
the senate, why could not one man rep
resent another dozen counties in the house,
and why have both house and senate?
Nebraska with its one house legislature,
will nave 35 representatives, just about the
, 1935-01-14

same number that formerly occupied the
seats in its state senate.
We venture the prediction, before this in
novation in legislative bodies holds its first
session, that Nebraska will have fewer laws
and better laws in the future than it has
had in the past
The country at large will be watching
Nebraska's unicameral legislature, hoping
that the cornhusker state has found the
way out Of the medley of confusion that
has characterized the operations Of most
Of our state law making bodies for many
years.

You can 60 without food and water for days. If nee
essary, yet you wouldn't last 10 minutes longer II
you were deprived Of air.
And still, we seem to be paying less attention TO
the air we breath than to our food and water.
Good air is hard TO get indoors at this time of year.
A modern house must provide suitable means tor
taking care OF the quality Of the air that people who
live in 1t may breathe. Most modern types Of houses
have immovable windows. so that there Is no leak
age around them. The outside sleeping porch Is OBJ
solete.
The modern ventiIating system provides for re-
moval OF communications, such as dust and pollens,
from the air. Most air Is not only ventilated, but also
cooled or warmed as needed. and moisture is decreas-
ed or increased to the most desirable concentration.
1t was thought at first that only the chemical con-
stituents OF air were important. More recently it is
found that its physical qualities are equally impor-
tant and that the dusts and pollens may be primari-
" responsible for all sorts of sensitivities from which
many persons suffer.
Development Of the fresh air treatment for tuber-
culosis led to the idea that any fresh. cold outdoor air
was right. Nowadays we realize that outdoor cold air
may be 50 irritating as to produce changes in mu-
cous membranes which give the germs opportunity
to take hold.
Apparently much OF our belief In. outdoor fresh air
was based on the will to believe. The story IS told
Of a man who could not sleep at night because the
air seemed stagnant. He got up and tried TO open
a window, but had no luck with IL, 50 finally he pick
ed up his shoe and broke the glass.
Then he went to bed and slept comfortably. The
next morning when he looked around he found that
he had broken the glass door in his bookcase.
The humidity in the air may be responsible for
feelings OF great discomfort. II the amount Of mois-
ture in the air is too small. the mucous membranes
dry out and become easily infected.
The old method Of treating persons with pneumonia
or tuberculosis by putting them outdoors and covering
them with blankets. to inhale the air at a freezing
temperature. has long since been discarded. The COW
erings are heavy and such air does not do as much
good as clean fresh air suitably warmed and properly
moistened.
Premature babies have taught US many lessons as
10 proper care Of ventilation. For them the tenn
peiature Of the air must be kept warm, sometimes as
high as IS to 100 degrees Fahrenheit. The air Is
moistened suitably. sometimes enriched with oxygen.
and Is constantly circulated.
In the Infants Hospital in Boston a relative HUI
Nudity of IS per cent Is maintained for infants with
the air circulating so that IL changes rs times an hour
and moves at a rate Of Is feet a minute.
II is interesting to learn how DR.. Dafoe provided
suitable air for the quintupletS. Blankets were heat
ed, then wrapped around the babies and changed re-
peatedly.
Later DR.. Dafoe obtained hot water bottles with
which he maintained the temperature suitable for the
babies. Finally. incubators were provided.
