Spider-Bites

Although spider-bites have al
ways been feared, recently much
attention has been focused on such
bites because a large number of
deaths have occurred in the United
States as a result. Contrary to
popular opinion, however, the COM
mon house variety of spider does
not bite. The group belonging to
the genus Latrodectus are the
poisonous ones. The so-called black
spider or "black widow" and the
"red-back" spider are the common
examples of this genus.
The poison-glands are located in
the jaws of the spider and the
poison is conducted from there to
spine which penetrates the It's
sues in the biting process. Germs
are carried into the tissues at the
time of the bite, also, so that both
poisoning and bacterial infection
occur simultaneously.
Unless prompt treatment is OBJ
tanned, serious symptoms will SUI
pervene. There will be an elevated
temperature and blood pressure
a weak pulse, rapid and labored
respiration, profuse sweating, a
general weakness and numbness
muscle cramping and pain, a
paralysis of the, lower limbs, and
a cellulitis or abscess at the point
of bite.
The immediate treatment would
be application of a tourniquet, in
cision at the point of puncture,
thorough cleansing by EPSON salts
solution, and application of an an
tiseptic. After this, epson salts
in a 25 per cent solution should
be given intravenously to combat
the poison that gets into the gen.
eral Emphatic and blood circulat-
ing systems.
This method of control has been
found satisfactory by a physician
who has seen many of these cases
His name is Cesareo DeAsis.

approve everything the President has done plans

preciate the basic purposes Of the New Deal and
Its achievements to date.
When all the criticisms Of President Roosevelt
are recorded-and this newspaper has not hesitated
to its share of critcism-the fact remains that
the net gain to the country resulting from the New
Deal has been tremendous.
Any citizen who fails to mark the great improve
ment in business in living conditions and in public
morale today as compared with March, 1888, is
blind. And any citizen who fails to give Franklin
D. Roosevelt credit for leadership is ungrateful in
deed.

PLUMP SKELETON

THE NRA is stated by industrious men and
women. When they had work to, do they did
not shrink from 16-hour and 2O-hour days. But we
believe the taxpayers entitled to more consid-
Grafton than they are receiving in the matter of
the present NRA situation.
Reduction of the personnel from a peak of $500
employees to the present staff of 1891 in the space
Of a few months is unusual record for a political
bureau President Roosevelt says it will be further
reduced to a minimum of 2OOO But are even that
many necessary to carry NFA's limited activities?
NRAs pay roll today is at the rate of about
s78OOOOO year, It's staff numbers 1891. of whom
lis persons receive more than $4,000 year.
The Federal Trade Commission, in comparison
is operating an annual appropriation of 81 645-
600, including pay roll and all other expenditures
1t gets its work done with staff of about 800 of
whom it is reported, only - receive more than
$4,000 year The commission is administering the
Clayton antitrust act and the ETC act, complicated
laws designed to eliminate unfair competition and
mCnopolstic practices in commerce and industry
1t also is conducting trade conferences and three
big Investigations
The whole Labor Department, which includes the
Chldren's Bureau, the Women's Bureau the I'M
migration Service and various concation statistical
and employment finding agencies, operates on an
item of about S110O00OO for salaries and expenses
OF its 4792 employees and officials of whom about 20
get more than $4,000 year
The foreign affairs of the nation both CONNER
cial and political together with multitude of 9TH

Justice OF the miners demands for higher wages,

The miners were fair enough to admit the
justice of the operators claim that wage agreements
must be negotiated a national scale, to protect
the higher standard coal districts from price cutting
rivals.
And both sides we're wise enough to recognize
that peaceful arbitration better than strife; that
round table conferences are far more productive
of results than armed guards and provocative
picketing
In many respects the coal strike just settled was
unusual Unlike every past walk-Out in the in

Undoubtedly, the peace that prevailed during the
strike helped the negotiators Washington to reach
an early settlement. There were no ugly incidents

feelings and pour fuel on the fire The representa-

Old-line economic reasoning
