Although there is trite sound to q
demand that the atmosphere" must be
cleared Of doubts as to administration
policy and the good or bad intentions Of
industry and labor, the need for such
clarification becomes more apparent
daily.
In fact, the sudden realization, or at

for what was happening.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

An unaccountable irritability Of mind
is the one sure sign Of an oncoming cold
or related disease.
A sneeze, popularly held to be the sure
indication, may or may not be 20. There
Is man in this town who sneezes every
time he passes from indoors to sunlight.
Sneezes may be brought about by chip
soap, or pepper, as every housewife
knows.
A sneeze may or may not be filled with
germs, and that Is one Of the real reasons
why they are SO dangerous-they hold
the unknown, perhaps the greatest Of all
dangers.
Mental irritability is pvt down, in most
cases, to sheer "cussedness," or some
other warp In the spirit Of man.
In a great many cases, especially in
winter, 1t is nothing more or less than
cold.
Hence, he who finds himself out Of
sorts with the world, for no apparent rea-
son, may look to his defenses from the
common cold, and feel pretty sure that
he is on the right track.
This Is encouraging. The psycholo-
gists have been having their own way
with the world. in recent years: they have
pretty well sold us all on the psychical
cause of most of the mental ills which
harass mankind.
1t Is helpful If we tell them to stand
back, now and then, for we already
know what Is wrong with us
"Shucks. doctor, 1t isn't my soul, but
just bad cold coming on, that feel
50 low"
The good point about recognizing this
symptom, is that 1t occurs long before
all other recognizable signs.
Long before q sneeze, long before .
chill. even before the curious feeling
about the eyes which is so unmiStakable,
the old urge to bark back at others comes
into being.
II this plain indication were needed
in time, and the proper remedies and
measures taken at once. no doubt many
q cold or related trouble could be nipped
in the bud.
A cold, after all. is . very personal
matter. All the doctors in the world, all
the health plans" put out by ambitious
organizers, are as nothing In comparison
with an early recognition Of the disease.
If common colds are germ diseases,
anu IL SeeWS pretty CerLdlu Iney are, IL
must be admitted that the sooner the
victim takes steps to help himself, the
better chance he has to prevent their
multiplication.
The first effect of this invasion, let
us insist, is lowered mental tone.
How could 1t be otherwise2
That sensitive tissue, the brain, re-
acts first Of all to the germ or virus in
vaSion.
When it compels us to be unkind to
others. or makes us speak harshly to the
street beggar We may feel sure that the
so-called unconscious of the mind Is
trying to give US q warning.
Every person must be his own keeper,
in the long run. He must understand
his own mind and body, and look for the
symptoms of one acting upon the other.

have no idea. seemingly. Of this rela-

ance. one Of the most wonderful In al
creation.
Four-legged animals have only physi-
cal symptoms to warn them Of anything

him beforehand. II he will listen to It.
But this mind Of ours 10 not Just some-

yades the entire body. and helps keep

symptoms, and make good ,ss Of hts
knowledge.
Personal experience will prove to any
one that the common cold 10 not some
thing to sneer ut, nor to feel 10 the sole
province Of the medical man.
There IL nothing moro personal than

symptoms at all, but rather late ones
The feeling Of mental irritabiity comes
long before, hours ahead In some cases,
even days beforehand.
If proper steps are taken when this
symptom Is recognized, q cold may be
broken even before it gets started.

There Is another early cold symptom
which is generally overlooked.
This IL craving for so-called "heavy"
foods.
1t Is unrecognized. In most cases, be-
cause Of the distortion Of q common
saying.
The saying Is Feed q cold and starvs

This Is commonly interpreted to mean,
The way to cure . cold u to feed 1t,
ana the way TO cure fever 10 to starve

The saying really should be written

fever.
There can be no doubt of this; 1t is
both medically correct and right from
the great standpoint Of common sense,
but 1t has been uninterrupted to bolster
the very human habit Of eating at all
times-even when sdck.
Many aStute persons are able to tell
hours before watering eyes and snifhes
arrive that they are threatened with q
cold. They know because they want
nothing 20 much ~ macaroni, for In
stance. or beef and onions, or great
quantities Of bread.
Just why the craving arises for such
foods. when they are the very things
which should not be eaten at the time,
must remain q mystery. If we praise
the brain, at one time. We must hesitate
to question it at another, and yet here
we may think 1t clear OF the track. No
doubt the brain has its vagaries, too, and
while 1t warns us properly, at one time,
IT, may mislead us at another.
Mental irritability remains the surest
warning sign Of cold, the one which
none Of US should overlook, whether
sweet tempered or otherwise.

Frenzied Financing.

The so-called stitely fraud case, now
being investigated by the Senate Public
Lands Committee, is an excellent illus
tration Of the dangers which lurk in
dispensing even during an emergency
with traditional safeguards against
waste of Government money.
The committee has expressed its
amazement over the revelation that q
park service employe was able to "get
away" with $4,000 of emergency con-
servation funds by forgery Of vouchers
over four-year period-absolutely un-
detected by finance oficials of two de-
partments.

manlike clarity of the moment, business
men assailed the tax on undistributed cor

vented the maintaining of reserves from
which they might pay workers in slack

among them, William Knudsen, presi-
dent of General Motors, was testifying
frankly on Capitol Hill that when orders
stopped, work stopped, regardless Of a
corporate surplus of $3.50 0000, 900. And
while two others Of biggest industry's
spokesmen criticized the same tax, they
admitted freely that they had not
studied the recommended revisions al
ready reported by an administration
committee in the House.
From the labor camp came q sugges-
ton that there be greater spending, to
be financed by increased taxation, but
in the same program was proposal for
tax exemptions at the cost of local
revenues.

only in mud-slinging but in making

would clear itself-at any rate it could

because Of any routine audit Or other
check, but because he happened to be

the regular voucher by Mr.. stitely.
Inquiry by the committee developed
that there has been no audit Of the
emergency conservation books for "sev-
eral years" There has been no time for
such an accounting, 1t appears, because
OF the emergency" Yet, in the words Of
the Interior Departments own investi-
gators, unless this check is made it will
be impossible to ascertain the number
OF persons who have taken advantage
of the opportunity to unjustly enrich
themselves"
The blame cannot be laid at the door
OF Secretary Ickes or Of his assistant,
Mr.. Burlew. or Of any particular person
directing affairs Of the department. The
fault lies not with persons but with the
system which was born Of an economic
emergency and with which the taxpayers
now seem to be saddled indefinitely.
Billions Of dollars have been ladled
out Of the Treasury without adequate
insurance against inefnciency. extrava-
gance, corruption and other forms Of
waste.
The investigators are right. Without
a thorough investigation involving sums
of astronomical proportions, no one will
ever know just how much Of the Gov
ernment's-the people's-money was d.
verted from legitimate channels OF relief
