The crust forms bread, under ordinary cir

the most heat. However. radio heating Is uniform
throughout and so the whole loaf bakes at once at
exactly the temperature and no crust forms.

popping corn by the simple device Of putting the
corn between two metal plates attached to short

The fact that heat could be induced by such
waves was discovered first by radio engineers who
found that it became unpeasantly warm to work in
the laboratory with the apparatus which develops
these waves. Investigation by medical men showed
that the engineers were running fever

A Note of HiLnritY

THE very suggestion that such a one as Senator
l. Copeland should need rest from the duties Of
his $4,000 a year job is unfair to Congress as a
whole because of the element of hilarity the idea
No doubt the Senator himself is tired at his age and
no doubt his pants do stick to his seat these muggy
days in Washington, and it is only fair to say that
he is a hard worker in his monotonous way accord
ing to his understanding of his job. But it is the
public figure which he presents that tends to dis
credit and make funny the plea which he meant to
be pathetic and possibly, patriotic.
No doubt other citizens are hot and tired at the
moment and wish they could either knock off work
or find work at wage of $4,000 year plus pick
ngs, but that has nothing to do with the case Those
other citizens not in the position of having to
pass on a tax program under pressure and any mis-
takes which they may make due to haste and lack
of preparation can not have the same consequences
as lopSded reasoning in this case.
But 1t will be impossible to convince the citizens
that it would be all for the best to let Congress go
now and take up the matter when the statesmen are
more fit for the job. That many of them are new
and never have had any experience with tax pro-
gram of such magnitude will mean nothing against
the comic suggestion that Congress is overworked
overweight, tired hot and bothered.
Just one cartoon showing the conventional Con-
gresham browsing in his chair with zizzing sounds
around his head denoting shores and the caption DO
not disturb" will do the work.

It's a Poor Explanation

I EAST of all am 1 in sympathy with the eXplana-
IL ton which the board has offered for the bar
ring of Miss Freistater The reason given is that
she is too great risk. 1t is my notion that edu-
cation of the proper sort always has been and al
ways should be a perilous adventure. 1 would not
have the youth of any land walk carefully along
the tops of accepted fences under the leadership of
the same Tabithas. On the contrary let the SYM
Dol of learning be the very man who in 1892
undertook to sail the ocean blue.
If I had the naming of grade schools I would
not give John Quincy Adams or Horace Mann
tumble until there had first been established the
Christopher Columbus kindergarten for small boys
and girls
Christopher was a risk of the first water. 1t can
not be denied that he scrambled the curriculum OF
the scholars who embarked with him upon his float
ing sChoolship Most distinctly the catalogue said
that opportunity would be afforded the pupils to
parse the northwest passage and acquaint them
selves with the lore of India. Instead, the sailors
found themselves in the suburbs of South America.
But that reckless and gambling quality should
be ALWAYS present in the field of education. Many
a likely lad has been preciptated into poetry be-
cause the stumbled algebra. And there could
be DISTINGUISHED men of letters who threw them
selves with avdity into English composition because
of failure to muddle through the pitfalls of fresh
man French.
Miss Freistater has reduced from l82 pounds all
the way down to $50. and venture to say that IN
doing so she has completed a journey more perl
lous and stimulating than has been accomplished
by any member of the board of examiners which
rejected her.

Your Health
by DR.. MORRIS FIsHBEIN-

A important air is in your breathing. there
n are times when a small amount of air may
prove exceedingly dangerous to you. This occurs
when it happens to enter blood vessel through an
accident or an injury. or occasionally when an in
lection of some substance is being made directly
into the blood.
AS long ago as 1918 such an accident occurred
when a surgeon was removing a tumor from the
neck of patient. small amount of air entered the
blood vessel blocked the flow of blood and the
patient died
Since that time cases have been reported with
various types Of surgical procedure and occasionally
following accidents.
The blood system fortunately is able to rid itself
of small quantities of air, but is not able to dispose
of large amounts
A evidence of the fact that the accident is not
N always fatal, death occurs in around Is to Is
per cent of cases.
1t is quite possible for the doctor making an
injection into the blood vessel to guard against the
possibility of introducing air. This he does by max
ing certain that all the air is expelled from the
needle and the syringe before the injection is made.
Occasionally, wher. air is injected into the chest
cavity to the lung to collapse. is done in
the procedure called pneumothorax the air will get
into blood vessel and bring about serious symptoms
Usually the condition becomes apparent to the ply
sician at it is possible to take steps and
administer preparations which will bring about re-
coVery in the majority OF cases.
THE first warning signs are great pallor or dzzi-
Il ness followed by coughing. blueness. convulsve
twitchng and similar serious symptoms.
1t is of course possible not only for air to get
into the blood vessel but for cot of blood to cir
culate. for portion to break of from one of the
valves of the heart and for germs to collect in a
lump and to circulate through the body.
When these substances reach blood vessel which
Is so small that they can not go further they block
the fowbH blood and this results in serious danger

he will also have lemon merngue with slab of

it not be better to leave the baby
alone to find a way out, as long
as the way was not beyond its own
strength? Often I watched, and
in such cases, thinking it was no
use to cry since nobody ser Led to
listen, the baby would Wy soon
with a little effort and vigorous
squirm be happily kicking again.
The next time it fell in the same
position it would know very well
how to get out of it, and I am sure
would have scorned any assist
ance had I offered it.
Once Cecile was sitting on
soft pink blanket on the floor. 1t
was in the early stages of sitting
alone and she was not quite sure
of her balance yet. On this oc-
Casion she fell and hit her head
little on the floor. I knew she
was more surprised than hurt but
she started to cry, any way.
AS she puckered her face, she
looked at me- 1 said nothing, only
laughed softly at her. The ex-
preston of my face and the tone
of my laugh inferred that it was
rather funny to fall like that. 1t
was amazing to watch her express
sion change from woe to laugh
ter.
Soon she was all smiles too
and had forgottne her trouble as
if it had not been. The next
time she fell from a sitting posi-
ton she was neither afraid nor
perturbed. In fact she did it on
purpose because she evidently
figured it was the easiest way to
get on to her stomach again.
THE weaving Of baby is con-
- sidered a very difficult and
dangerous period of its life. If
anybody asked me: When did
you wean your babies? I would
answer: We weaned our babies all
the time, if by weaving you mean
changing diet and mealtimeS I'M
til we arrived finally at the ordi-
nary three meals a day with Or
binary food.

Admiral OraS' conclusion, which
was:

more news about your excellent
Navy
Admiral Standley's reply was
brief. He said:

ing here like sailors to dine and
enjoy each other. 1 didn't know
we were going to make speeches.
Regarding more information
about the American Navy, our
policy is to give information with
a string attached to it. We hold
on to the string-so we can get a

knew they were being weaned. AS
a matter of fact, at the early age
of five months they thought it
great fun to lap up orange juice
from a small glass instead of
spoon, to drool all over ones bib
and make funny bubbling noises.
So when the moment came for
them to discard the nipple and
bottle and drink all their milk and
water out of glasses, it was moth
ing new to them. They already
knew how. To start eating vege-
table pulp, fruits and porridge
was nearly as funny.
The idea of having something
that was not quite like milk put
into ones mouth, to sroll it
around with a pink little tongue
and spout it out like a fountain
was amusing. But then it was
gone and that was a pity because,
while different from milk, it tast-
ed good. So next day or the next
meal the baby tried again and had
a good taste of the new thing be-
fore she started to play with it.
at which times it was invariably
taken quietly away.
4 T first the babies, as I have
L n said, were fed every two
hours. Then the meals were put
half an hour forward, then three
hours, then four. Over a long pc
ricd the sisters had eight meals a
day at four-hour intervals.
AS they grew in strength they
started to forget to wake up for
eating at at night. So that meal
was cut out, and if a baby did
wake up she had water instead
which was just as good since she
was only thirsty, anyway.
The mealtimes we're drawn still
farther apart in the daytime and
the babies we're allowed to sleep
through the 10 o'clock glass of
milk in the evening. BY the time
they were 10 months old they were
happily eating everything except
meat, using a spoon and drinking
out of glasses in perfect style.
Their little bodies had adapted
themselves to three meals a day
with only orange juice and cod
liver oil between meals. That the
babies were being weaned could
only be noticed on the weight
curves.
These did not point quite as
steeply upward as usual for
month or two. But that was as
it should be with any normal
healthy baby.
NEXT-How babies everywhere
can have the care and handling
that brought the Dionne quin-
tuplets to health and happiness.

MIR. HULL is a most altruiStic
1TI gentleman. He neither be-
lieveS in, nor understands, diplo-
matte innuendo. Reared in the
mountains of Tennessee, accus-
toned to vocabulary which
would electrify the average dip
lomatic tea, Mr.. Hull did not ap-
preciate all the interpretations
placed upon his blunt note Veto
ing the Ethiopian appeal.
Therefore, when the French
and British ambassadors called
upon him and reported that their
governments felt he had deserted
the Kellogg Pact, Mr.. Hull was
flabbergasted. He asked the two
ambassadors to inform their gov
ernmentS that the United States
by no means had deserted the
pact.
Then, feeling that there still
might be some apprehension. it
was arranged that a friendly
newspaper man should ask ques-
tons of Mr.. Hull in press con-
ference. In reply. Mr.. Hull
issued his second statement,
praising the kellogg Pact. How
ever, he was careful not to men
ton either Ethiopia or Italy.
Net effect of Mr.. Hull's two
statements was that the United
States took a pious interest in the
preservation of the kellogg Pact
but was prepared to do nothing
about it.

Our order of the way was fresh
and wholesome. There was time
for vigorous and eXhilaratlng
play. for loving gentlenesS, tor
relaxing rest. for quiet contem-
plation all by oneself of an in
triguing toy or the absorbing OBJ
servation of new aspect of pink
toe or the practice of a squirm or

The sisters were not over
whelmed with toys or clothes.
When we put them down to play,
we saw there were five toys, one
for each. If one wanted another's
toy, we let them settle that to a
certain point.
They were not hampered in the
development of their own little
wills or independence. More than
once we restrained our strong de-
sire to pick up one of those en-

that I imagine is very strong IN
