THE PRESIDENTS BALL
DESERVES YOUR SUPPORT.

On Tuesday, January 30, the Presi-
dents Ball will be held here in the Vet
Grams Memorial hall for the purpose of
raising funds to battle infantile paral-
ysiS. There is no more deserving cause
than this. 1t should not be viewed in any
respect as a political event; on the con-
trary it is absolutely universal in pur-
pose and appeal. The appointed head of
the committee is d. L. Zinn, a good, old
line Republican, and people of all groups
and affiliations are cooperating in max
ing it an outstanding success. Of the
funds raised, 70 percent remain here
locally to combat the spread of this
dread disease which attacks adults and
children alike The other 80 percent goes
to Warm Springs foundation. where
every cent is distributed to outstanding
medical institutions and used to pay
costs of scientific study of the disease.
A large share of this money returns to
the University of Southern California
where interesting medical experiments
are under way. The Ball carries the name
that it does, only because President
Roosevelt is an outstanding example of
how the disease can attack grown in
dividual. Also, he is spectacular exam
pie of how mankind can achieve high
ambitions despite physical handicaps re-
sulting from the ravages of this or
other diseases. No finer purpose
can be espoused by anyone than support
of this enjoyable occasion. The knowl-
edge which the money brings to science
may save you or your children from
serious attack by this very malady.

NEW YORK-The Cuban election
was not the happy solution it was
pretended to be. 1t, in fact, aroused
additional anti-American sentiment
in Cuba.
Miguel M Gomez won. He is a
sugar planter and former associate
of Gerardo Machado, who as preSi-
dent was driven from the country.
But Gomez won merely because vir-
tually all the liberal elements were
suppressed.
1t was made illegal for DR.. Grau
San Martin to run. Yet he is the
man the majority of Cubans evil
IDENTIFY have desired. His regime as
president, liberal and popular with
the people, had to give way when
the United States government-or
its ambassador turned against
him.
Cuba remains under military
dictatorship. DR.. Grau San Martin
had freed labor Today it is back
where it was. Not only have the
liberal political parties been outlaw
ed but labor unions have been dis
solved and their national president,
Cesar Vilar, was imprisoned.
jefferson Caffery, U. S. ambasSa-
dor, is being attacked as sharing
large part of the Granddaughter
with American sugar, banking and
utility interests.

Your Baby's Health
Intended To AmuSe, !, Train Children

Do not buy toys made of ex- ceedingly light metal with sharp edges, since they might cut the baby's hands.
 Small babies should never play with marbles or beads. They are likely to put the things in their mouths and swallow them. Babies without teeth may have small celluloid animals or ploythings made of rubber.
 Kiddy-cars are helpful in teach- ing children motor activities. This applies also to walk-abouts, small tricycles, and bicycles.
 It Is surprising how much fun a baby will derive from moving furniture, when he first finds out that he can stand on his feet and push a chair around the room.

Toys Primarily Are
 But Also Help
BY DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN Editor, Journal of the American Medical Association, and of
 Hygela, the Health Magazine

Probably you already have heard the story of the inspired doctor who wanted to see for what vocation his child might best be suited. He put the baby in room with e Bible, a brief case, asteth- oscope, and silver dollar. If the child, later, was found playing with Q Bible, q brief case, a steth- minister; If with the brief case he would be lawyer; with the steth- 0sCope, a doctor; and with the dol- lar, banker.
 When the doctor re-entered the room. he found his heir sitting on the Bible, with his feet on the brief case, swinging the stethoscope with one hand, and biting the silver dollar which he held in the other.
 So the doctor decided to make the child a congressman!
 Although this may have been intended merely as joke, 1t points to c moral that the chief purpose of toys is to keep children amused. Playthings may serve also to stimulate intelligence and de- velop imagination.
 But only in the cases of older children will they help to indicate latent talents, and to guide parents in their choice of their youngsters training.
 Some children seem to prefer painting and drawing. Others in- cline naturally toward engines, motors, and mechanical apparatus. Some boys are attracted by chem teal outfits; others by electrical de- vices.
 As boys get older. they prefer mechanical devices, building blocks, and outdoor toys, such as wagons. motors, boats, and gym nastic apparatus.
 An overabundance of toys is not c good thing. Purchase those that seem desirable, have 8 place f1 which to keep them properly, and then limit the child to the use of one or two toys at time.
 The average child is not inter ested in any one toy for more than afl hour or two. He will have his favorites and call for them if they are available.
 Have the toys keep pace with the child's mental age. Little babies are satisfied with animals made Of wood or rubber.
 For the benefit of the baby's health, see that the paint is not the type that can easily be sucked off the toy. There are records oi poisoning from lead and paint fsfAted ssr'~ i~"a md f-r"i c-'bf

HOT AND COLD ARTHRITIs

HOT AND COLD ARTHRITIs
 Medical literature from way back right down to the current issues of the most pretentious journals has always been stuffed with balderdasti about cold and dampness and rheu- matism. Sir William said in the doctors bible" only thirty years ago:
 Exposure to cold, Q wettlng, or
 6 sudden change of temperature
 are among the factors in de-
 termining the onset of an attack
 (of rheumatic fever), but they
 were present in only 12 per cent
 of our cases"
 Osler's interns must have taken histories summarily. It does seem strange that only i2 out of c hun- dred rheumatic fever patients could recall such exposure. Then pr, Osler thought that chronic rheu- matisln was "inost common among the poor, particularly washerwomen day-laborers, and those whose oc- cupation exposes them to cold and wet"
 Let us omit moisture from the dis- cussion. Moisture, dampness, wet is merely cold, 50 far as this prob- lem is concerned. Wet or humidity makes the cold more penetrating" or makes 1t feel more chilly. Dryness means warmth. Heat or lack of 1t is the important factor.
 We all agree that arthritis suffer- CTS are more comfortable in warm weather than in cold weather: they get along better in e warm climate than in Q cold climate We know, too, that warmth or heat in any form relieves pain in these cases; even moist heat, hot baths, under- water physical therapy and the like. Yet the more light we get on the nature of arthritis the less logical t seems to regard cold as causative factor. Medical tradition and folk lore aside, there is no more reason to ascribe arthritis to exposure to cold than to attribute diabetes to such exposure, and you need not tell me 1t is easier to brush aside such things in print than 1t is In practice, for I have done some brushing in

The new beauty preparations which arrest attention this week certainly will appeal to hygiene minded women who take pride in being scrupulously clean and who love to see on untouched -by.huflan hands label on Q bottle or jar.'
 There is, for instance, c good deal of talk about powder puffs which are sterili1ed, then propped by machinery in dust.prccf con- tainers. Made of lambs wool, these are as easy to wash as handker. chiefs. They come in all colors and sizes and wear longer than you expect.
 Then there s . new hair-health aid which does away with soap curdS that cling to your hair even after the most persistent rinsingB. It comes in powder form. You simply put one teaSpoonful in Q glass of lukewarn1 water and, af- ter the third or fourth rlnsing, pour the mixture over your hair, working it in with fingertips, then rinsing again with cold water.
 If you doubt the fact that soap is inclined to finger after good rinslngs, make this test: Shampoo in the usual manner, rinse care- fully, then pour the new prepara. ton over your hair, catching 1t in c clean bowl as 1t dripS from the ends. Examine the contents of the bowl. Rinse again. Repeat with Q fresh glasssul of the rinse, catching the drippings in another clean bowl. Now compare the contents of Both. The first un. doubtediy will look milky, the second clear. If 90, you have ample proof.
 Keep the jar of powdered rinse on your bathroom shelf. Substitute 1t for the regular lemon or vinegar rinses you have been using. After c few weeks, see if your hair isn't glossiet and more healthy locking.

both places. If you want to be abe surd about 1t you may remind me that I myself said the arthritis has itS original source in the sore throat, tonsilitis of quinsy in many cases. That is quite 50, and if wanted to be sarcastic about 1t I might rec mind you that even the original sore throat, tonsillitis or quinsy is due to infection and never to cold.
 Really 1t Is time to omit cold from the discussion. Indeed, the rnedi- cal profession is dropping that quaint obsession as fast as 1t can and save its face. Not word about cold or dampness in the chapter on etiology in an authoritative medical book published in the last i've years. Medicine is making great strides these days.
 For this progress thanks to the newer knowledge of nutrition. Please bear with me Q while longer. I'm not going to say ainything about vitamins right away. Of course we can't omit vitamins altogether from c comprehensive study of arthritis. Trying to get along without vita. I1lins probably explains why . good many of you arthritis sufferers gre where you are today. Indeed, 50, for many excellent authorities ct preg- ent regard certain common types of arthritis, other than chronic lnfec. tons arthritis, as metabolic or Hlu. tritional essentially or primarily, whether infection plays Q minor role or not. The metabolic of nutritional group includes gout (which is as rare in America today as rabies in man, which I think just doesn't hap- pen), chronic hypertropic osteo- rithritiS, Theumatoid arthritis and Stills disease (atrophic arthritis, seen usually in children.)
