ticular sensitivity when this sensitiv-
ity is at its height.
Once the shock" occurs, accord
ing to DIR. Waldbott's data, there is
little that can be done about it. He
believes that heredity is ali important
factor. Any child of allergic parents
is q possible candidate for the phe-
nomenon, he says, and should be
guarded carefully against weeds, flow
ers. face powder sudden chills or sud-
den overheating.
Just as dramatic was the exhibit
presented by DR.. William w. Duke of
Kansas City, which showed that heat.
cold, sunlight or scratching act as
violent poiSons to some persons In
these cases of physical allergy nothing
actually enters the system, but there
is definite chemical change in the
blood stream. DR.. Duke presented
vivid case histories.
For one woman. few minutes OF
heating under a lamp produced cry
ing and stopping of the nose typical
of hay fever, 1ogether with an uncon-
trollable facial expression. Applying
a tourniquet of ice to the forearm
gave almost immediate relief.
A child was thrown into spasms
hardly diStinguiShable from st. Vitus
dance by slight oyerheating, and was
sensitive to as little as one-ten-
thousandth of cubic centimeter of
dust.
Another woman was thrown into
fits Of uncomfortable weeping by few
minutes under a heating lamp. An
other woman went into commissions
from the application OF wet, warm
cloth to the forearm. She had ex-
IRENE difficulty in breathing and
and there was only a slow recovery
with the application of ice.
For still another woman the slight
heating effect of raising her arms
three times caused commissions of the
larynx and shutting off of breath. In
one case commissions and asthma were
caused by the heat of small reading
lamp. In another case slight physical
exercise caused a violent headache
condition similar to epilepsy.
A striking feature of this form of
allergy is that it lowers resistance to
bacterial and fungus infections. The
remedy, DR.. Duke asserts in his exhibit,
is the administration of adrenalin to
overcome the immediate effects, or the
application of the opposite sort of
stimulus-such as heat to cold -sensi-
tive persons or ice to those who are
heat-sensitive.
1t usually can be overcome in the
long run by constant treatments with
the stimulus to which the victim is
sensitive, up to the point of sensitivity.
Ice is applied to the arm of a cold
sensitive person daily until the allergic
reactions begin to show themselves.
In some cases. DR.. Duke said, the
overcoming of the allergy is long,
slow process, but. in the past, hundreds
of persons probably have gone through
life with these weird and disabling
symptoms without any idea of the
cause.
A further step toward explanation of
the phenomenon is presented in an
exhibit, by Drs. B. T. Horton, G. c.

Foundation of Rochester, Mimi, on

DEATH

NASHVILLE, Tenn, July /
UN.SO.-Having listened to
stories Of cruelties so severe that
one small inmate prayed for
death while receiving 95 lashes
for alleged infraction Of rules,
the grand jury today was sched'
uled to return its final report on
alleged brutalities at the State
Training and Agricultural School
Six guards already are under
indictment in connection with al
legged brutalitieS, one indicted last
week and five more yesterday.
Mrs. Mollie D. Stone, a former
dormitory matron, provided the
climax when she testified at an
open session late yesterday that
while she had never been per-
mitted to witness the flogging OF
inmates by the guards, she stood
outside a storeroom on one &C.

lash as it fell IS times across the
back of boy.

Carolina Plugging
Cases Strike Terror

WILMINGTON, N. c., July l
UN.S)-Terror streaked through
this quiet North Carolina corner
today as the law moved secretly
to round up a white-hooded band
that stalks in the night and deals
out punishment according to its
own cruel code.
State Solicitor John ]. Burney
said he believed at least a dozen
persons have been dragged from
their homes by the marauders
and lashed.
Burney, since the Columbus
county grand jury ordered an in
vestigation, has talked to six vic
Tins. He said:
every man connected with
this outrage to law and order
is going to be ferreted out and
prosecuted. 1 don't care who
or what he is"
He was secretive about his in
vestigations, but said there might
be q break the latter part Of
tTllS week, or early next week.
The Columbus county grand
fury was adjourned last Friday
after examining about 80 wit
nesses in connection with the flog.
gings.
Burney said he had learned the
band has been operating for
about seven months.
District Attorney j. o. Carr has
considered the possibility of Fed
eral action, but he is awaiting
more information.
If evidence is brought out that
any of the victims was carried
across the nearby South Carolina
line, Carr could invoke the Lind
berg kidnap law.

Democrats. Out of 48 States of the
Union, 80 have no civil service laws
whatsoever. In these States the entire
apparatus of government is in the
hands of party politicians who put
the administration of matters requir-
ing the highest technical efficiency
and moral probity into the hands Of
whatever men are able to exert the
most political pressure. These ap-
pointees are inspectors of banks, of
factories, streets and tenements, meat
and milk. They decide who shall teach
our children. They are in control OF
crime. In numerous municipalities
the very police are completely un-
touched by any merit system whatso-
ever. Gov. Landon's own State OF
Kansas has a far from snow-white
record, according to the Civil Service
Reform Association. The law, adopted
in 1916, has not functioned since 1922
because the Legislature has hamstrung
the Civil Service Commission by refus-
ing it appropriations.
Fire Forces Out of Politics.
The superior efficiency Of admins
trations under civil service Is not de-
batable. Fire departments are proof
enough Of this. They have been
brought under the merit system by the
simple fact that the insurance COM
panies drastically raise the rates when
the departments are thrown into
politics.
But the question goes much further
than the operation or expansion of the
existing civil service. This country
has got to ask itself whether many
elective offices ought not to be abol-
ished and substituted by a system ct
irremovable appointments. Above all,
this question concerns the courts. Fed
eral judges who are appointed for life
are for the most part decent. The
State judges are elected and therefore
responsible to pressure groups in their
constituencies: responsible very often,
let us say it bluntly, to gangs. Their
corruption is notorious.
The essential of the civil service Is
that 1t cannot be upset by a change
of regime, that its members therefore
are out Of politics and in service to
the whole people. To build up such
civil service needs several genera
tions because its morale and efficiency
do not derive so much from its legal
basis as from a tradition, an esprit
de corps. And for that one needs a
special code Of honor.
The civil service ought to carry
with it an especially high social pres
tige. Schopenhauer said: The State
cannot pay men with money but with
honor" This honor in serving the
