PERU
With the west coast of South
America becoming less and less
remote as swift ships shorten
the running time, Lima, capital
of Peru, is fast becoming one of
those places that the traveller
must visit.
Callao is the port of the dis
charge of passengers and cargo
and from there perfectly beau
tiful highway leads to Lima past
walls of adobe brick erected even
before the rule of the Incas. The
highway terminates at the foot
of the famous Street of the Mer-
chants, which, legend tells us,
was once paved with silver.
Lima lies at the foot of noun

hundreds of staircase farms"
constructed by Indians long be-
fore the Incas arrived.
An amazing railroad zigzags
its dizzy way to the top, and
no mountain railroad in Switzer-
land or Bavaria was ever like it
for thrills, excitement and sheer
beauty of scenery. Europe hasn't
such majesty. such colorful
jungIes, such amazing scenic con-
trasts. No wonder people are
getting the South America travel
habit.
LIMA
Lima, although it still preserves
the atmosphere of old Spain and
the traditions of prehistoric civili-
cations, is as up-to-the-minute as
any capital city. One has only to
cross handsome San Martin Square
to realize. this. Few cities can
boast of anything finer. Splendid
modern buildings and de luxe
hotels are set among old churches
and grand palaces that reflect the
almost Oriental splendor of the
city.

New School Problems


The court decision holding that local school officials
may not exclude from the local schools children residing
in nearby Maryland and Virginia whose parents
poyed in the District is clearly in accordance with the
law
NEVERTHELESS 1T PRESENTS A PROBLEM TO
THE SCHOOL AUTHORITIES; PRESENTS PROB
LEM TO CONGRESS AND DIRECTS THE ATTEN-
TON OF THE PRESIDENTS COMMITTEE STUDY
ING FISCAL RELATIONS TO AN IMPORTANT
ASPECT OF ITS INQUIRY.
The most immediate problem is that presented the
school authorities and from it stem the other aspects Of
the question.
School authorities are confronted with the immediate
task Of finding in already overcrowded schools for
some two thousand children who made eligible for
entrance by the courts ruling or who will be made
eligible should the writ of mandamus sought in the
Kemp case finally issue.
THERE SIMPLY ISN'T ROOM IN THE JUNIOR
AND SENIOR HIGH SCHOOLS FOR THE CHILDREN
THUS MADE ELIGIBLE.
These schools already overcrowded with local chill
dren children who not now receiving the atten
ton that they deserve and should have.
Admission of additional children only mean that
the education of all will be still further sighted and that
an impossible burden will be placed on many teachers
This of course, creates the problem for Congress.
The District can do nothing to meet the emergency
thrust upon it by the court decision
It can't hire additional teachers it can't rent buy
buildings to house emergency classes if such pol
icy were desirable.
Congress- which has neglected for several years the
demands of citizens for forward looking program of
school building and land purchasing now what
its niggardly attitude has brought about
IT WILL BE UP TO THE NEW CONGRESS IN
CONSIDERING THE NEW BUDGET TO MAKE UP
THE DEFICIENCIES WHICH EXIST NOT ONLY IN
BUILDINGS BUT IN PERSONNEL
It is interesting that the court decision should
lust at the time when the presidential commission is
studying what would be fair share for the Federal Gov
eminent to pay in support of the National Capital
ATTENTION OF THE COMMISSION IS THUS d.
RECTED TO THE SERVICES WHICH THE DIS
TRICT FURNISHES TO THOSE WHO TAKE NO
PART IN THE LOCAL TAX-PAYING BURDEN.
Many Washngtonians have recently given up their
property and their residences in the District and while
continuing to work here have moved into the rapidly
developing communities across the District Line.
These former residents continue to receiUe i'm
pOrtant services from the District government yet
they contribute nothing to the support of that gOU-
eminent.
This important phase of the fiscal problem cannot and
probably will not be neglected by the fiscal inquiry
board.

 Nitrous oxide Qaughing gas) was introduced to dentistry about the same time that Dr. Long first used ether anesthesia. This aneS- thetic, too, was brought to the den- tists' attention by a travelling lec- turer who gave a public exhibition of its effects in Hartford. A young dentist named Horace Wells was in the audience, and he had a great idea. Next day he persuaded the lecturer named Colton, to admin ister the gas to him while a brother dentist extracted one of his teeth T did not feel so much as the prick of 8 pin," he declared, and began using nitrous oxide regularly in his practice.
 Several other anesthetics with virtues for special purposes have been introduced to medicine, den- tistry, surgery and obstetrics, but probably ether and nitrous oxide are still the most widely employed and the safest.
 People who dread operations nowadays can scarcely conceive what an ordeal surgery was fol the patient in the days before ether.

GIori6ing Yourself

 Exercise authorities now agree that all reducing routines should be done slowly and that the types which stretch your body upward and backward are better than for- ward bending ones.
 For instance, one important fg- ure expert lifts her eyebrows in disapproval whenever 8 customer wants to do that old exercise of touching the floor with hands while keeping knees straight. She says it will keep knees from becoming stiff and that it stimulates sluggish circulation to some extent but that it certainly won't slenderize the waistline. Instead, she makes the client hold her body erect with hands high above the head, then stretch and bend backward as far as possible, This not only stretches the waist line muscles, but it elevates the chest and helps to reduce double chin, too.
 If you are trying to make your hips inches simmer, do rolling ex- ercises, and do them slowly, press ing your body hard against the floor as you roll.
 Lie flat on your back, with hands clasped above your head and feet together. Keeping upper half ot your body on the floor and feet to- gether, roll back and forth twenty times. Feel the way this messages the fat spots around hips and l thighs and twists waist muscles.

Your Children
By Olive Roberts Barton

"Mama, want some candy. Mama can't have some candy?" This is whimpering whine that would make an angel cllss.
 Mama says, 'No, you can't have any candy. Now be quiet. Look, all the people are looking at you. Now, if you bawl I'll take you straight home"
 But I want some CANDY" screams the little nuisance. "You said I could have some candy. I'm tired and want some candy"
 we have a whole big box at home. So shut up and be quiet. When we get home you can have some."
 T want it now. I'm hungry. There's some right there."
 Then one of two things happens. Mama either smacks the winner, or gets the candy. Anything for peace, she declares. Usually it is the candy. Or maybe the doll, or steam shovel or whatever the child has 8 mind for. He almost invariably as- sociates a walk with an indulgence or 8 shipping trip.
 What are you going to do about it, mother2 You have no one to leave the toddler with. And you must go out sometimes. You dread these excursions like plaques. You know beforehand exactly what will happen.
 Well, I'll tell you. Don't get him darn thing.
 Oh, yes, get him anything you please, but DON'T get him any, thing at all just to humor him when he is whining.
 Easy to Spoil Children We have 8 new puppy. He learned where his dish was kept. In short order, almost over night. he learned that. No one could take step in the. direction of the kitchen without his jumping about like a flea and saying in pup language, "I want my candy" He got to be nuisance. He slid through the swing door every time anyone went near the kitchen. He tore our stockings and yelped his head of. His eyes were bigger than his stomach, and his appetite. He had goodies enough, dear knows But pups are like little children Greedy and forever hungry. AL ways looking for handouts.
 A few times, just for peace, we humored him. And then I said '"The first person who feeds that dog out of turn can just get out He has to be trained like 8 gentle man. He has to learn that his dish means meal time. And he has to learn to let us alone wheI, we go to the kitchen"
 I took 1t on myself to teach him Now he doesn't poster us any more. He knows that we feed him when it is time.
 Life Is Not All Getting" I am not speaking particularly about food, but about capitulatine to the demands of the child about anything. By association of ideas he has learned to connect walk ol shopping trip with a hand-out o. some sort. We do it ourselves, by beginning a habit. As he grows old CT he must be able to take it or dt without, as you like. One day h. may be given something, and thu next nothing. He must be taugh restraint, and at the same time ap' preciation of what comes his wa! when the getting is good. Blu whether candy, boat, 8 movie or a bag of peanuts, he mus learn not to whine when the. are not forthcoming. The who'll idea of sometimes get, sometime not, is a grand one. It is life al over. Then he won't learn to be sulker.

Special Apparatus Valuable In Aiding Breathing Of SuffOcating Persons

pressure artificial breathing pro- cedure.
 As air is sucked into the lungs by the recoil of the chest, the oxy- gen and the carbon dioxide con- tained in the mask covering the face will also pass into the lungs This apparatus is used to start 8 continuous flow of gas and deliver it from the receptacle to the patient but does not exert any positive pressure.
 There is also apparatus which will blow up the lungs and then suck out the air. This, however, is diffi- cult to control and should never be used except by trained worker. Another device is one in which the entire body of the patient is placed and in which he is then made to breathe by alternating the pressure on the outside of the body. This apparatus is used par ticularly in cases of paralysis o1 breathing due to infantile paraly- sis or similar diseases, and is also most useful for gas poisoning. In such cases the patient is put in the machine and while hi: breathing is stimulated by the ac- tion of the machine, he is also permitted to inhale regularly mix lures of oxygen and carbon di- oxide.
 Remember-In cases of suffoca- tion do not wait for the coming oi 8 lungmotor or pulmotor or any other artificial device. Start arti- ficial respiration by the prone pressure method immediately.
 Get the unconscious person out into the fresh air as soon as pos sible. Immediate action is neces- sary to save life.

ETHER ANEsTHEsIA

ETHER ANESTHESIA
 Ninety years ago the first pulp lie operation under ether anesthe- sia was done in Massachusetts General hospital by Dr. Warren, chief surgeon of the famous Bos- ton hospital, with Dr. w. T. G. Morton administering the ether. Morton had carried on experiments with ether under great secrecy, fearful that some one else might steal his idea and put it into prac- tice. Morton was a dentist, begin ming the study of medicine.
 But at least four years before the young doctor in Jefferson, Georgia, Crawford w. Long, had successfully employed ether as an anesthetic for removal of cystic tumor of the jaw. The operation was painless and the patient, James Venables, was delighted with the performance. Unfortu- nately, Dr. Long did not know the ropes, or perhaps there were no ropes in those days. Anyway, he failed to report his discovery and his experience in the medical press before the medical society, and so the credit goes to others who were more advanced in the art of pulp licity.
 Dr. Long did not discover ether. His discovery of anestheSia was more an accidental one. It had been the pastime of gatherings of young people in his village to have what they called "ether frolics". Some travelling lecture had introduced this game and the ether to the community. The boy or girl would pour some ether on a towel and inhale it until he or she became exhilerated, giddy and mildly in- toxicated. In one such gathering a negro boy was seized and forcibly etherized. He went completely under, and they became frightened and called Dr. Long. The boy pres ently awoke all right, but Dr. Long had his idea, and not long after ward found the opportunity to put it to the test.
