BILL PRESSED
IN HOUSE
BY ROBERT NIXON
international News Service

The merit system issue, which
Is expected to figure prominently
IN the presidential campaign, was
tossed into the Congressional hop
per today to add to the burden Of
measures blocking adjournment.
Democrats moved swiftly to
counter the Republican platform
plank, adopted at Cleveland which
called for restoration, improve
ment and extension of the merit
system in civil service and charged
it has been virtually destroyed
by New Deal spokesman"
Backed, he Saio, by White House
appro val, Representative Ram
speck Cd of Georgia, chairman
of the House Civil Service Com
mittee, introduced a measure in
the House to extend the civil Serv-
ice system to all executive depart
mentS by presidential order.
The measure is scheduled for
consideration today. 1t would at-
feet all employees in the numerous
alphabetical agencies set up by
the Roosevelt Administration.
The proposal raised immediate
Republican opposition.
Representative Lehlbach (R0 OF
New Jersey, minority leader on the
Civil Service Committee, said he
would object to such a measure
being passed by unanimous con-
sent, declaring:
"The principal effect of this
proposal is to freeze permanent
ly in the civil service system en-
plOyeS of the New Deal alpha
betical agencies who got their
appointments from Democratic
ward leaders and other political
henchmen of Farley"
Ramspeck said he didn't see
how Republicans can object to
my measure after the platform
they adopted at Cleveland"

SOME GIRLS were wise enough

enough to choose a rich husband
This party tonight, which she was
attending with Christian Scott
was a step forward in her cam
paign.
The cars smooth stoppage
reused Gay out Of her musing and
planning, and suddenly she realized
1t was Wayne Adams who was
handing her out and up the steps
Of large white stucco building,
with ROSE HEATH" in flashing,
rose-colored lights across the
front
Wayne was silent as he walked
beside 10y 9oross the broad veran-
da, ana 50 WAS Gay. But his hand
on her wrist did something queer
to her poise.
AS they paused to wait for
their companions, Gay drew a
deep breath of eXultation. She
was so delightfully."- excited. This
wonderful, fairy-like place. A per-
feet regiment of parked cars. Her
lovely new dress-and Wayne
there beside her! She stole a
glance at him under lowered
lashes.
He WIS looking at her with a
smile that somehow nettled her.
She was glad when Christian Scott
and Mrs. Larrimore, who had
mounted the steps more slowly,
joined them. An instant later, the
foursome was being ushered, with
Eyes, Mr.. Scott, we have your
reservation" Right this way, Mr..
Scott!" Eyes, Mr. Scott, the very
best table in the large dining
room," from the manager, and
many bows and scrapes from two
walters, to a table close to the
dance floor.
Gays eyes shone with unjaded
pleasure. It was all so new to her;
so impressive. The large room
with its decorative scheme, of
black, rose and silver. Tables, a
dozen deep, lining the floor edges.
Myriads of soft, rose shaded lights.
The palette Of colors in the wom-
ems gowns. The flash of jewels.
The CLEAN Of bare threats and
arms. Laughter. Countless blend
ing odors of food, drink, perfumes
And over and above it all, the Sc
ductive, sensuous rhythm of a per-
feet orchestra.
Rather attractive, all this;
isn't it, Gay?" questioned Chris
tian Scott, with a complacent
smile. He closed her fingers about
silver gauze ribbon that de-
pended from a low bowl of flowers
In the center of their table. Pull,
Cay"
Gay pulled.
A corsage Of orchids and roses
for herself. Gardenias for Mrs.
Larrimore. And an exquisite plat
mum and blue enamel vanity for
each!
"Oh, Mr.. Scott! How too ador-
able" Gay began ecstatically, but
Christian, with a deprecatory ges-
ture, waved her thanks aside. He
rose, and standing, drank from the
first round Of cocktails.
"None for you, Gay? Very well,
we will dance"
To that divine music, Gay, held
suffocatingly close, her body
gripped to Christians with an
awkwardness she could scarcely
believe possible, suffered the
anguish of fine dancer in the
arms Of an atrocious partner

 A baby's first eight weeks are perhaps the most difficult in It's et1- tire life, because during this period partiscular care not only of the chilled, but of It's mother, is involved.
 For the first three or four weeks after the baby's birth, the mother should watch her diet and hygiene carefully. She should avoid high ly seasoned foods and those which are found to be associated with in. digestion for either herself or the baby.
 She should drink plenty of fluids, especially milk. Regularity Of bowel action may be assured by taking suitable amounts of water, fruits, vegetables, and cereals in the diet.
 Overindulgence in alcohol and smoking is certain to be harmful. moderate indulgence may have no Ill effect, but 1t would be best II 1t were avoided.
 Unless the weather is pleasant, the mother should not ride or walk until the baby is at least { weeks old. Strenuous exercise should De avoided during the first eight weeks
 After the first four weeks, the mother should be examined by the doctor; and this should be repeated

of black eyes, at least for the first offense.
 There is no sane excuse or war rant in medicine or in public health or in sanitation for compulsory vac- cination. If it is true, as believe, that vaccination protects me against small pox, then as long as l keep well Vaccinated I have nothing to worry about on that score. If you don't believe in 1t, then 1t should be your right to get along without 1t. should worry if you come down with smallpox. It can't affect me, for am immune. As physician, a friend, 6 health authority, I have done my duty when I advised you to be Vaccinated: If you do not choose to follow my advice, that's your funeral.
 In the past there may have been times and conditions in which the vaccination of entire communities helped to prevent outbreaks of smallpox. Today in North America there is virtually never a condition which justifies such an attempt. Tn modern practice the vaccination of the few persons who have been in close personal contact with victim of smallpox is sufficient to prevent spread of the disease; that is, in conjunction with the ordinary meas ures, or precautions of isolation and medical asepsis.
 FrenzIed vaccination, like com pulsory vaccination, belongs in the medical museum along with ter- minal fumigation, which the old timers delighted to practice.
 No one can honestly deny that matter how carefully 1t is done nor there is Q certain hazard involved in every instance of vaccination, nor how conscientiously the little wound is cared for until it heals without a "take" or the vaccinia runs 1t course. There is always the possi- bility of accidental infection.
 The specific organism of smallpox has never been identified. Neither has the specific organisms of cow pox. We can only infer that the comparatively mild cowpox (vac- cinia) conferS on one who has had 1t protection against smallpox. But we must worK blind whenever we vaccinate. We can't be absolutely sure the vaccine contains nothing else than the virus we wish to in- oculate. Our imperfect knowledge of this would give any sane physi- clan pause when it comes to the question of compelling anybody to be vaccinated. even if our whole medical belief and experience did not show the injustice of such abuse.
