NEW DEMOCRAT.
UNIT SPLITS OFF
In MONTGOMERY
Casey Leads Group
From Organization

~ ~ ~ IA ~ - ~ 0N'S July ~
Ground work for the formation
Of an independent Democratic
party, which again will split the
ranks of Montgomery county
Democrats, will be laid during a
mass meeting of county residents
at the courthouse at 8 o'clock to-
night.
Just as it appeared the two
warning factions Of the Demo
cratic organization, which have
been at each others throats for
about IL years, would reunite, a
new faction, opposed to unifica-
ton, broke away under the leader
ship of Eugene Casey, of Gathers
burg.
CASEY'S STATEMENT
Casey, who has become leader
OF the so-called free thinking"
Democrats, announced his resig-
nation from the organization
ticket, where he was a candidate
for the Democratic State central
committee for ntgome cry
county. He declared today he
will not be a candidate for any
office or accept any appointment
to office under the new inde-
pendent Democratic party"
In a statement today, Casey said
the new movement, which had its
inception last Saturday, is spread
ing swiftly. When the meeting is
called to order tonight he expects
q packed house. A. campaign COM
m1ttee, platform and nominating
committee to contact possible
candidateS for the ticket will be
appointed.
STICK TO COUNTY RACES
The party, according to Casey,
will take no united part in either
the State or National elections
because supporters Of various
State and National candidates
are affiliated with it. He added
I'VE are joining together for
the betterment of the govern
ment of Montgomery county and
to save the Democratic Party
from the hands of professional
politicians and traders"
Leaders of the new party de
: clared in a statement:
!. "The inter-party strife of the
J past IL years has been caused
chiefly by resentment free-think-
ing people felt to the manner
and mode of the Democratic
) PartyS subservience to the dom.
lnation of Maj. E. Brook Lee
and handful of his cronies.
} "YES MEN TO LEE"
Despite the announcement
four years ago that Major Lee
had retired as leader of the
Democratic party, today the en-
battled remnants of the local
organization find themselves
= = under the complete direction
and domination of Major Lee,
who operates in full charge of
! all affairs, while Robert Peter is
:. presented as the local Demo
cratic chairman for local con-
sumption.
"The slate of candidates
picked and to be presented by
the organization to the voters of
Montgomery County this fall
are willing to dedicate them
selves as yes men to Major
!. Lee"

REPUBLICANS HAPPY

County Republican lea de r S
looked with glee on the new break.
Several intimated that, since they
will support the candidacy of Sen
ator Millard E. Tydings against
David j. Lewis, they might con-
slider supporting few independent
and "free-thinking" Democratic
candidates for local offices.
It is believed the independent
party will draw the support of a
majority of the members Of the
old organization who have already
split away over the candidates. of
Mayor Howard Jackson, organiza-
ton favorite, and Attorney Gen
eral Herbert r. O'Conor, for gov

States Attorney James H. Pugh,
leader of the O'Conor-for-governor
forces, was present at the first
meeting of (ne independent forces
at Casey'S home Sunday. He said
the O'Conor party will not place
a local ticket in the field, but prob
ably will join the Independents.

an advantage over Bilbo that no other opponent could ever have.
 Knowing all his little weaknesses, all his faults, all his vanities, all the chinks in his armor as only wife could know them, Mrs. Bilbo would be able to give her husband run for his money.
 But great as such a campaign would be for the people privi- ledged to watch it, we hope that the Senator's newly divorced wife changes her mind about running against him.
 One reason is because the fight might turn out to be as humorless as most fights between husbands and wives-or ex-wives.
 And the second is that Mrs. Bil- bo would be setting a dangerous example.
 What if every wife, who disagreed with the way her husband ran his

ent deficiency Is lack of an ele- ment or factor in the blood which $ essential for clotting, precisely what element is not known. A male who is a "bleeder" (hemo- philic) does not transmit the active bleeder state to his sons or daugh- ters, but his daughters may carry the defect in latent form and some of the male children born to them are likely to be "bleders."
 In hemophilia serious or fatal hemorrhages occur from trifling in- juries, or spontaneous bleeding may occur from the skin, mucous mem- brane, viscera or muscles. Hemor- rhagic swellings occur from bleed ing into the tissues, especially about the joints.
 Not all "bleeders" have the hered- ity deficiency; about half of them are of accidental or casual type, and do not carry any transmissable defect.
 Injections of sea water have stopped uncomfortable bleeding in number of cases of true hemn- philia.
 Of course transfusion of small amounts O. ilo..-- -~ emergency remedy for uncontrol- lable bleeding in such case.
 To stop such bleeding from a tooth socket or from tonsillec- tony wound, the skillful applica- ton of diathermy (electro-dessica- tion) to the bleeding point is effi- cacious when ordinary medicinal and surgical measures fail.
 Injections of clear blood serum (human serum or horse serum or rabbit serum), or even diphtheria antitoxin, is sometimes beneficial in prolonged bleeding in sporadic (non-f milial, non-hereditary) hemophilia.
 In one case of uncomfortable bleeding from trifling wound on the head the bleeding was promptly stopped when 8 healthy person pricked his finger with a needle and allowed 8 few drops of blood to fall into the wound.

 We would have wives running a business across the street from their husbands, setting up a law practice in the same building or preaching from neighboring pulpit.
 But the sad thing - for marriage is the chance that they might put their husbands, who dismiss ed their ideas as woman's mo- tions, out of business.
 No, for the aake of marriage, we think Mrs. Bilbo better stick to her knitting and leave politics to "the man Bilbo."
 Even if her political rebellion did no more than to arouse wo- men to vote their own minds, in- stead of their husbands, there would be plenty of marital dis cord on her hand.

CIRCULATION OR CLOTHING OE BLOOD

OF BLOOD
 The blood of normal individual begins to clot or coagulate in from five to ten minutes after bleeding. In certain disease conditions the blood is slow in clotting, for ex- ample jaundice; this makes opera tions more hazardous, although the modern physician has in his arma- mentarium remedies to promote faster clotting of blood in such cir cumstances. One such remedy is sunshine vitamin D. Another is calcium administered incidentally and a high calcium diet. Still an- other is transfusion of 8 small amount of blood from helathy donor. Still another is thrombo- plastin, prepared from brain tissue of the OK; cephalin is another name for this, when freshly prepared.
 I many case where the clotting time is slow, it is good practice to take, say a Calciwafer after each meal, three times a day, for several weeks prior to an operation. Calci- waters are as pleasant to eat as after-dinner hints; each wafer contains 8 grains of dicalcium phosphate, 6 grains of calcium gluconate. and 750 units of sunshine vitamin D.

 The child learns in time to ham, dle spoon. Hand to mouth again, 1t is, and again this is associated with the pleasure of eating. It seems, then, that everything nice contributes to his habit, while nothing pleasant can be done to break 1t up. This is why 1t IS 50 hard to do much about thumb or finger sucking. Of course, 1t does help in some cases to use mittens or patent guards, and bitter, but harmless, flavors applied to offend- ing members have also been mod erately successful.
 Take His Mind on Himself
 To provide enough playthings for the young child to divert at tention is help in it's way; also to keep him very busy and inter- ested. These are panaceas in gen. eral for any poor habit.
 I have found that in most cases, children forsake their fingers when life begins to get personally excit- ing. This means any time between two and four years of age. Bed time and nap time may still find the comforting thumb in It's place, how ever, no matter how busy or for getful it's small owner at other hours.

 Twilight Passes

Hypodermic injections of a mix ture of morphine and scopolamfne to produce amnesia forgetfulness) and analgesia dnsensibility) became known and gained considerable pop ularity years ago as twilight sleep" It was effective enough in producing the desirable amnesia and analgesia in the mother, but 50 often produced asphyxia in the in- fant that most physicians did not feel justified in using it. Tn recent report by Dr. W. w. Bell of his ex- perience with 225 cases of scopola- mine amnesia and with 216 cases of sodium pentobarbital amnesia, for confinement, he concludes that the latter is as effective as scopolamine and far safer for mother and child. Pentobarbital sodium is otherwise known as sodium ethyl barbiturate and as nembutal, and is often given prior to anethesia, or prior to local anesthesia for dental operation. It can be obtained and prescribed or administered only by physician.

 The girl whose complexion is excessively oily ought to take in- mediate steps to correct the faulty condition. Otherwise, the pores in her skin will become so stretched from over activity that 1t will take years to get them back to normal
 Naturally, step No. 1 should be a complete physical examination by her family doctor. Only he can tell whether or not some organic defect is at the root of the trouble. And he is the one who should recom- mend skin specialist-if treat ments by 8 skin specialist are in order. No layman is qualified to select his own skin specialist with out the advice of a physician. i Afterward, unless her doctor sug- gests otherwise, 8 new deal in diet undoubtedly is in order. This means cutting down on the intake of very rich desserts and oily foods, par ticularly fried dishes. And sub stituting quantities of fresh vege- tables, cooked and uncooked, crisp, green salads and fruit juices. Exer- else is important, too.
 But I've done all those things" you say.
 Have you really? Did you go to your family doctor and have a thorough examination?
 And have you been eating more sensibly, taking long walk each day and doing setting-up exercises every morning-never skipping once flor at least three months2 You shouldn't expect miracles, you know. And unless you have maintained a definite routine for three months or more, you can't expect to see results.
 To supplement your new diet and exercise habits, special cleansing routines are in order. Let's talk about them tomorrow.
