to Avoid New Deficits

~ the Associated Press,

The Chamber Of Commerce Of the
United States said yesterday tiss
threat Of higher taxes and still higher
taxes is major deterrent to busi-
ness progress"
In its bi-weekly survey the or
ganization of business men commanded
Congress could relieve apprehension
by setting up An orderly fiscal pro-
gram designed to avoid further bud
getary deficits.
This could be done, 1t added, through
reduction OF expenditures rather than
through new and increased levies.
BY correcting obvious defects" IN
existing regulatory laws and by adopt
ing q more prudent" governmental
fiscal policy. Congress At its FORTH
coming session could make . positive
contribution to enduring business re.
covery, the chamber declared.
1t enumerated these as subjects with
which business would like to see the
next Congress deal promptly:
Reduction of Government ex-
penditures, revision of the National
Labor Relations Act, easing of re-
strictions governing the flow OF in
vestment capital and . change in the
Social Security Act to eliminate the
next scheduled increase In pay roll

has restored democratic practices that

Another point DR.. Pueyrredon
stressed is the deep will to peace that
Latin America shows now. This Is
attested by the acclaim with which
the final settlement Of the bloody
Chacc dispute between Bolivia and
Paraguay, effected this week At Buenos
Aires, with American help, has been
received. And 1t Is typical of the
new mood of Latin America that

that composed the Chaco trouble) to

Washington. broke OF two weeks ago.
The good neighbor" policy. DR..
Pueyrredon asserted, has brought an
epochal change in inter- American re-
lationships. The deeply rooted feeling
of mistrust Of the United States, the
Colossus Of the North" has largely
vanished, he said. Although such
friendly policy on the part Of this
country may lead in some cases to
abuses, when rulers think it constitutes
an open invitation to bait American
interests without fear of punishment,
in the long run 1t will prove profitable
all around, according to ths Argentine
statesman.
As TO the creation Of an American
league Of nations, such as propounded
by the dictator Of Santo Domingo
Rafael L. Trujillo, and included among
the subjects for discussion at the next
continental gathering at Lima, Dr.
Pueyrredon reflects the opinion pre-
vailing in most of South America with
the question, why become separate
from the rest Of the world?" He cited
the many ties, commercial, intellectual
artistic and of sympathy, that bind
the nations OF this hemisphere with
the older ones Of Europe, and that
would continue to bind them in spite
OF artificial leagues of nations" Gre

Isolation has been the cause for

He Is DR.. Honorio Pueyrredon, Ar

time when the Chaco dispute had been

served to increase Latin American
sympathies for this country and
tighten the bonds between the United
States and the group of nations to the
south. Many who formerly distrusted
the United States in the southern
continent have been won over by the
spirit of friendship displayed by WASH

mat afIirmed.

sensus Of what the republics south of

The Argentine statesman believes
that the only permanent basis for real

That this feeling is extending
throughout the southern continent

WARNING GIVEN
 TO SUN. FATHERS
Intensity of Summer Heat Viewed as Menace to
 Health

Calling attention to the intensity of the summer heat and the ten dency now to remain outdoors over longer periods of time the State Department of Health in its week. ly bulletin advised against pro- longed and vigorous exercise during the hottest part of the day and warned that excessive summing may cause serious sunburn requiring medical aid
 The bulletin suggested a gradual building up of protective coat Of tan without the preliminary sun burn which often goes through the blistering stage. This precaution is particularly true of the first con- tace with the hot sun, such as that first swim of the season, or that long game of tennis or other sport Better to take it little at a time at first, particularly if abbreviated clothes have been donned.
 Failure to use judgment in parti- cipating in sports or excessive eX- erciSe in the hot sun may result in sunstroke or heat exhaustion.
 The victim of sunstroke is easily recognized. The face is flushed and red and the breathing stentorious. the pulse rapid, and skin feels hot to the touch. The proper thing to do is to get the individual into the shade and cool him off as quickly as possible. opening his clothes and sprinkling him with cold water from a watering can or hose, and rubbing ice on the head and chest until a doctor can be secured. These cases are frequently unconscious and no attempt should be made to give them fluid by mouth while in this condition and under no circum- stances should stimulants be given.
 On the other hand a case of heat exhaustion, which may occur due to exposure to any sources of exces sive heat, presents quite different picture. The skin is pale, cool, and very often ciHmmy; the pulse IS slow and the temperature subnor- mal. These cases should be kept warn. If the patient is conscious, hot drinks should be given. A phy- sician should be called.
 The bulletin cited the current practice in industry where exces- sive temperatures prevail to fur nish sodium chloride tablets with the drinking water which helps to restore the salts lost with the ex- cessive precipitation. Those who do not perspire too freely will not en- counter thi difficulty, however.
 While this practice has not come into general use as yet, it was sug- gester that it might be wise plan to provide near the drinking foun- tains sodium chloride or common table salt at recreation centers where vigorous sports are indulged in.

from,' MT. Cop queried the Fire man.
 'The old Buff wheel, answered the Fireman.
 That will never do; no com- mon sense talk will get you by"
 The questionaires have the po- lice and firemen worried. They supposed that everybody knew the duties of a copper" and that still more knew just what a fire man was supposed to do.
 But the filing of these papers with both Depts., makes it appear that there are many who yet do not really know what a police man is supposed to do, or what a fireman must do, in conformity with the rules and regulations.
 Heart attacks may yet invade both departments. The average Waterbury fireman and police- man is a common sense sort of fellow. He's not a society man, as a rule, just plain everyday home man, Whc tries to perform the functions of the office to which he was named to his own satisfaction, and that of the pulp lie which employs him.
 Everything they have is inves- ted in their little home in Water bury. These police and firemen are good and worthy citizens, and live a life of decency and good toward their fellow citizen. They wish to continue as such, but the fear is in their mind that a wrong answer or two will some time oi other work against them, ano that before they know 1t they will be "out" of a department tc which they have been attached for number of years.
 No wonder, they worry; they and all others employed by the city are on the spot, to use a slang phrase. .,
 "Griffinhagen, Griffinh a en Griffinhagan". ..
 The name haunts these guard fans of our peace and protectors of our property in their sleep.
 "Griffinhagan' is the name."
 Repeat the name softly, but : don't shout it when you meet a cop or a fireman.

 "Griffinhagen for Chief of the Fire Dept"

(BY AMATEUR SCRIBE)


 What is policeman or a patrol man, or to use common term, cop?
 What is a Fireman, and why Should he exist?
 A Fireman is classed by the learned as one belonging to an or ganization for the extinguish- ment of fire.
 The same learned authority, and that is the famed Noah Web ster, of years gone by declares a policeman is a member of a de- partment organized to maintain law and order.
 "Yes," says Ike, but what will MT. Griffinhagen say; will he ad- init that Webster was right, or will he deny him. Webster is dead; Griffinhagen is much alive, and kicking"
 And so are the police and fire men kicking.
 What must they do to fill out a proper questionnaire. A young well dressed and Snappy looking Southerner is about handing out the questions, while the well edu- cated sons of many of our best families are walking the streets in search of employment. They, too, were trained in the arm of Municipal survey, but being local, and the families always having paid taxes, that of course bars them from doing anything in the line of inquiring into the Where flores" or Be 1t resolved" on the part of the inquiry now being conducted into the various city departments.
 The day of the "Carpetbagger" seems at hand here, in Waterbury.
 Now, no policeman or Fireman, ever attended school of culture and refinement that we have been able to learn. But it may be we do not know them all; and it could be, of course, that quite a few of the boys attended or correspon- dcd a little with the well known Emily Post, of recognized society fame. f. \.
 And if they have, so much the better; for this they will be duly credited when the final papers are read at the roll call of each Dept. in front of the commis- sioners. as
 Who's Emily Post" inquired an inquisitive Fireman of well dressed 'copper?'"
 "Oh, be yourself" replied the patrolman," you've got to know her, if you expect to get anywhere in this examination"
 By the way, Mir Cop, what's the weapon of authority of po- liceman."
 "The stick,' promptly answered the officer.
 By golly, you're right" said the Fireman.
 But do you carry yours at all times, or do you leave it in the back room of the cobbling shop" again queried the Fireman.
 "I like to have it with me, at all times"
 You're right again Mfr Cop; it comes in hanGy in crowd, don't forget that. And if you don't be- liove me, ask MT. Griffinhagen."
