AMENDING THE CONSTITUTION
Santa Monica Outlook

A number Of congressman and senator's who
are ambitious to change the Federal conStltu-
ton fathered in the last congress "a proposals,
none of which was approved by the committee
to which they were referred The prospect is
that the coming congress will see as many more
proposals Of this kind and that most, II not all,
of them will meet similar fate.
This outburst OF amendment-itis Is nothing
new in American history. Records show that
total of 1906 amendments TO the constitution
have been proposed In congress in the l47 years
since 1789 Only % of these have been adopted
and 10 of them came Immediately after the
adoption Of the constitution TO supply certain
omissions in 1t. These first 10 amendments
are popularity regarded as the American blu OF
rights and deal particularly with the rights Of
the public and their protection.
With this record the public need not be
greatly alarmed or concerned over proposed
constitutional amendments. They come and go
like many proposed laws, inspired by individual
desire for prominence, or proposed to please
some constituent or group of constituents. Rela-
lively few Of them put forward IN real
seriousness
We already are promised an amendment that
would keep America out of war by making US
defenseless and similar foolish proposals. The
idea of drafting a neutrality law into the con-
stitution is as impractical as the idea that war
shall not be declared without general referen-
dunn of all the people Of the United States. II
we ara to have a representative government and
entrust the duties Of law enforcement and Of
national policies 70 chosen representatives, We
cannot tie their hands by constitutional amend
nents arbitrary legislation.
AS our readers know we believe in sound
peace policies but we equally certain that no
nation can lay itself open flagrantly TO attack
by destroying or hamstringing its own right to
defend itself
we have no apprehension that congress will do
such a thing nor is there much Likelihood that
anv constitutional amendment will be submitted
To the people by the coming congress.

ours.
If you have been worrying about
the prospects Of a revolution, and
have been looking anXiously under
the bed for lurking Communist or
Fascist plotters, those figures ought
to set your mind at rest.
For revolution, whether it goes
to the right or to the left, is the
product of complete, nation wide
disillusionment and encouragement.
Men throw democracy overheard,
scrap their accustomed way of do
ing business, and entrust their al
fairs TO Hitler or a Stain only
when they are utterly fed up with
the way their system of society has
been working.
The percentages listed in this sur
yey aren't static, of course. If those
questions had been asked four years
ago, we might have got a vastly
different set of answers; if they
were asked four years hence, we
might see another change.
But the significant thing is that
the replies do seem to reflect the
public state of mind pretty ac-
curately today as the country
emerges from its worst depression.
And they show that the traditional
optimism of the American spirit is
far from ended.
Despite long years of unemploy-
ment, low wages, non-existent prof.
its, and agonizing doubt, this still
Is a hopeful country.

Tubercuosis doesn't hurt. That is the reason people don't go to the doctor in time. The germs that cause tuberculosis may "eat' large holes in your lungs and still you wouldn't FEEL it. Often the danger signals are not blam- ed on tuberculosis but on other troubles like cold, asthma, sinus infection or bronchitis.
 Sometimes distinct signs of tub erculosis are entirely absent, mak ing it difficult even for the phy- sician to find out what is wrong. Fortunately he has modern aids today such as the tuberculin test and the X-ray to help him dis cover the disease.
 Heed the signals of tuberculosis. They may be false alarms but only the doctor can decide. These are the common danger signals:
 Too easily tired.
 Loss of weight.
 Indigestion
 Cough that hangs on.
 OTHER SIGNALS-These are the common symptoms of tuber- culosis. There are others, split ing of blood, for example. Any blood from the mouth should be a signal to see your doctor. Blood streaked sputum or blood in coughed-up matter is a red sig nal of grave danger. Pleurisy or pain in the chest is another sig nal. The pain may be sharp and stabbling or it may be just a dull ache.
 Early discovery means early recovery.

Does Your Child Sleep Fitfully?

If your child goes to bed readily but stays awake or sleeps fitful- ly, find out the cause of his poor sleep.
 Has he had enough active play during the day to tire his mus cles?
 Is his physical condition good? Ask the doctor about this En- larged or diseased adenoids or tonsils or other defects may keep a child from sleeping we'll.
 Does the child have a bed to himself? Children in bed to- gether may stay awake to play Any bed that is large enough to hold two children can be replaced by two cots in which they can
The Nome daily nugget., 1937-05-27

Are the child's nightclothes con- fortable? Are they loose, so that they do not bind the child any, where? Of course the child sho- uld be entirely undressed before his nightclothes are put on.
 Is the child's supper satisfying and easily digestible, so that his sleep will not be disturbed by hunger or indigestion? Keep him from drinking much liquid at night; a full bladder may make him Wakeful
 Do you try to prevent loud or sudden noises from reaching the child's room? The house need not be hushed at night, and you should train your child to sleep through ordinary talking or oth- CT minor disturbances, but his bedroom should be as far as pos sible from the radio. Early-morn ing noises should be prevented as much as possible, for sleep in the early morning is lighter than the first sleep at night.

sleep separately. For many req sons it is important that every child should sleep alone. For a baby it is easy to make a clothes basket or large box into com- fortable bed.
 Is the room at comfortable temperature GAS degrees to 55 de- grees F. in winter, and as cool as possible in summer), With plenty of fresh air from open windows?
 Is the bed comfortable? The spring and the mattress should be firm and flat, not sagging in the middle. If a pillow is used if should be thin and not too soft. The sheets should be large, SC that the edges will stay tucked in all night; the blankets light in weight and wide enough to keep out drafts. For child who kicks off the covers try a sleeping bag
