MAJOR EDUARDO YANEz,
NA who is captain of the Chilean
team here for the Inter-Ameri-
can Horse Show, has brought
with him a gorgeous silver
trophy, to be presented to the
winner Of the military jumping
class, and the trophy is a pre-
sentation from the head of the
Chilean army who, though he
couldn't be here, wanted to ex-
press his good will and best
thoughts to all the teams. Nice
gesture, don't you think?
TOM MORGAN (and while we
l. were on the subject of the
Chilean team, is one Of the
1nter-A m erican n Horse Show
committee a n d, incidentally,
working like a Trojan, but the
other day he really worked over
time. It happened that Tom
was taking the entire Chilean
team down to make an official
visit upon Commissioner Melvin
Hazen.
The visit was timed for eleven
thirty and Tom, who is punctu-
atty itself, sat and sat and sat
waiting for the team. Finally
alonge about twelve-thirty, and
when Tom was on the verge of
a mental collapse, the Chilean
team arrived.
Major Yanez was covered with
confusion and apologies because
they (the team had endeavored
to go to Fort Myer, never got
there and were completely lost
when they attempted to return
to Washington and Commis-
sioner Hazen. Naturally, every
one finally got to Commissioner
dazen's and he, nicely enough,
hought the entire matter a
'uge joke. Tom Morgan is still
cooperating from his long wait.

Chemical War on Ants Is
Found to Be Effective

New Haven, Conn. Chemical
warfare methods have been proved
effective against carpenter ants,
which have been running large num-
bers of telephone poles in Connec-
ticut and other states. The ants do
not eat wood, as termites do, but
only dig out nests in it. The eff
feet, however, is just as ruinous.
Scientists at the state experiment
station here have found that poles
not too much followed out can be
saved by sounding for the top of the
cavity, boring hole, and inject.

sote. A pressure gun is used for

WE HAVE been hearing a

handcrafts lately. Of course,
quilts have always been impor

written asking me for more of the
old fashioned embroidery stitches
that were used in making crazy
patchwork that I have collected
dozens and dozens of these quaint
stitches from old quilts. Some
of them are so attractive and col
orful that it seemed pity not
to use them for modern decora-

American Spas Not
Well Enough Known
to Our Physicians

Chicago.-Let us save for
America and Americans the
many millions spent each
year in foreign spas.
DR.. Bernard Fantus, Chi
cago physician, makes a plea
to state governments to pro-
vide the nations doctors with
information in regard to the
natural remedial resources
within their own states.
He further asks the American
Medical association to interest itself
in Kidding American spas of quack-
cry.
DR.. Fantus presents his two pleas
in the Journal of the American Med
ical Association.
American doctors know a great
deal more about European spas
than about our own health resorts,
DR.. Fantus states, although in this
country there are practically all the
climatic and balneic remedies pos
sessed by any other country in the
world"
Some 1900 places in the United
States boast of springs of more
or less medicinal value.
The result of the European exc
dus each year is not only net
loss to this country but also
financial loss to the patients who
are sent abroad for treatment
they could obtain much more eco
nomically nearer home.
Better Handled in Europe.
In Europe, DR.. Fantus declares,
the governments and the govern
mentally owned medical schools see
to it that their doctors are we'll in
formed as to their national health
resorts.
This is not only altruistic but
also sound financial policy for,
through taxation, governments are
in virtual partnership with all the
national enterprises.
A sick person does not get the
same benefit out of drinking min
eral waters from a bottle in his
own home, experience has shown.
The therapeutic value of min
eral water "cure" consists also of
the remedial value of a vacation,
the change of scene and of occupa-
ton, the change in mode OF liv-
ing, the subtle influence of climate
and the factor of faith, the Chicago
physician states.
Distrust and skepticism prevail
among doctors regarding American
health resorts. With few notable
exceptions this distrust is we'll mer-
tied in the opinion of DR.. Fantus.
1.-THE nendacity of many of the adj
vertisements for mineral springs
rivals that of the claims for patent
medicines in their palmiest days"
he writes. "Unethical practice and
quackery abound in and around
health resorts. Even the social fea-
lures and amusements, in many of
them, may be Objectionable from a
therapeutic as we'll as moral
standpoint"

the anti-New Deal Senator was duly
