ACT TO GUARD
D. {. IN FLOOD

Fears that Washington will suf
fer greatly from a flood of the
Potomac late today or tomorrow
grew to such an extent today that
hurried plans were being made to
protect Government buildings in
the downtown area.
Experts predicted that the raging
waters will rise to point higher
than at any other time than the
flood of 1889, when Potomac Park
and a large part of the downtown
area, to approximately Fifteenth
street and Constitution Avenue
Northwest, was inundated.
Summoned to a hastily called
conference at the War Depart
ment, flood control specialists or
ganized recently to meet such
emergencies gathered to formu-
late plans to prevent as much
damage as is possible.
Hold Troops Ready
After a study of reports given
by the U. s. Weather Bureau,
the experts determined to have
troops from Fort Myer and Bel
voir ready for duty day and
night. The troops would be
called into the area liable to be
inundated.

President Roosevelt today asked
Congress to appropriate $500 mill
lion dollars to enable the Works
Progress Administration to con-
tinue unemployment relief through
the fiscal year 1936-37. ......
Pointing out that more than
1000 million dollars Of emergency
funds already allotted will be car
ried over into the next year. the
President said this sum would give
security to those most in need.
on condition, however, that pri-
vate employers hire many of
those now on relief rolls.
Calls Industry to Aid
Although the President reported
q definite upward trend of re-
employment-he said at least S.
100000 more people were at work
in December, 1885, than in March,
1933-he conceded frankly that
the present rate of progress lis
inadequate" He said:
81 propose, therefore, that we
ask private business to extend
its operations so as to absorb
an increasing number of the un-
employed"
Mr.. Roosevelt pointed out that
the effort of the Government to
put the shorter working week into
effect through NRA "has been Sc
riously curtailed by limitations re-
Gently imposed by the Supreme
Court upon Federal, as well as
State, powers"
There is nothing in the anti
trust laws, however, the President

Hardened Wax Easily Removable;
 Avoid Too Frequent Ear Swinging

the necessary cleanliness for their ears. Boils and pimples still occur, and there still arc cases in which the removal of hardened wax is necessary. This is done easily with an ear syringe and slightly warm water, but need not be done often. Needless or two frequent swinging can be harmful. The syringe should be sterilized by being boiled before using and the water should be pre- viously boiled and used warm, but not hot.
 Cases are on record in which liy- ing insects have entered the car, died, and gradually been surrounded by hardened wax so that eventually the external canal became blocked and hearing was lost entirely. Ex- cept for loss of hearing, no damage is likely to result in such instances. More damage results from attempts to remove material from the ear than from the material itgelf.
 It iS not advisable for anyone to try to remove a foreign body from the outer ear If 1t cannot be washed out, unless he has had special train ing in this type of work.
 The person whose ear is to be syringcd should sit in a good light. A towel should be put around his neck and tucked inside the cloth ing SO aS not to soil 1t. A pan is held at the edge of his ear 50 that the fluid will run into the basin and not down the patients neck.
 The ear then is pulled slightly upward and backward to Straightcn out the passage. With the ear held in this position, the nozzle of the syringe. which has been filled and had all the air expelled, is placed just inside the outer opening of the ear.
 The water IS then permitted to flow along the back wall slowly and without too great pressure. SO as to permit return of the excess flow as the water goes in.
 After the ear has been washed, the head may be turned on one side SO the extra fluid will run out. Pounding the head will not cause the water to come out any quicker. The canal may be wiped with a small wisp of cotton, but never with any hard object or under pressure.
 Several instruments have been developed for removing foreign ob- lects. A bean or piece of chalk has been removed by the use of a probe with some adhesive material on the end. This sticks Co the object, which is then gradually withdrawn. Such performances are. however, best left to experts.
 A pimplc, boil. or any other in- lection In the tissue lining the ex- ternal ear canal. will cause intense pain. inflammation, swelling and some fever, and should have prompt medical attention.

FIRST COMES THE AIR THEN
 THE BREATHER

It seems perfecly clear to me that the egg has precedence of the chicken, for in order to produce a chicken you must first get suitable egg. Now be careful. If you retort vice versa we'll have another argu- ment, for science is even now ser iously contemplating the idea of the production of eggs in the laboratory. Anyway I do insist, and without fear of contradiction, that the air is more important than the breather or the breathing, 20 I am giving the air its due position, and the breather like wise, in this chart of the Ways of Health.
 Ordinary run of the mine air suit able for breathing assays four parts nitrogen and one part oxygen, with unimportant traces of carbon diox- idle, soot, dust, bacteria (harmless) and more or less water Vapor. We take into the blood some of htc oxy- gen when we breathe, and give of from the blood to the air we expire some carbon dioxide, water vapor, and Insignificant traces Of hydro gen, methane, and other by-prod- ucts of combustion, none of which, so far as we know, is poisonous" or harmful to man. Here is the aver age analysis of fresh air and of the expired air:
