- Pete Macias was worried by
the time one recent night ended
at the Lounge Riviera. All through
the night some lass kept sending
him requests, scrawled on paper
napkins with lipstick. A dozen Of
them she sent him. Long ones, too,
like You're the Only Star in My

worried for fear she would run out
of lipstick before the evening was
done. And he didn't want to see

- That was the Don Dickerman

talking about on that radio pro-
gram Sunday night. Don, Rudy
recalled, gave him his first break
in New York, at the old Heigh- Ho
Club. when Mr.. Dickerman was
being genteel on Fifty-third street
instead of being rambunctious with
pirates. And Don started Rudy at
the singing business-by being very
glum the first night over the singer
with the Vallee crew, advising why
don't you try singing yourself?" He
used to fight like blazes with Rudy,
Don recalled the other midnight.
The canny Mr.. Vallee, recognizing
way back then that this newfangled
thing called radio was just the girl
for him, had a habit of turning his
back on the Heigh-Ho dancers to
Groom into the microphone. Mr..
Dickerman sort of thought the GUS

DON'T NEGLECT A COLD,
HEALTH OFFICER ADVISES
Neglected Cold Or Influenza
Opens Way For More Serious
Diseases

Warning against neglecting what
may seem to be nothing but a cold,
DIR. R. H. Riley, Director of the Mary
land State Department of Health said:
"tJust a cold,' often opens the way
for pneumonia. If you develop a cold,
don't let it run on. Don't waste time
on prescribing for yourself. See your
doctor, or have him come to see you.
And obey his orders
Pneumonia" he continued, "is al
ways a matter of special concern to
physicians and health officers during
the colder months. Cases may de-
velop at any time of the year, but
the f1are-up usually begins in the fall
and the peak comes during the winter
months. The decline begins in the
spring and the disease reaches its
lowest ebb, for both sickness and
death, during the summer. Very
often a neglected cold or an attack of
grippe or influenza opens the way for
the more serious disease, and there is
always danger of it in connection with
measles.
pneumonia hits hardest at very
young children and at persons from
fifteen years old and upward, or thru
the older age groups. The best way to
prevent it is through careful, hygienic
living, avoidance of colds, and the
strengthening of the powers Of resis-
lance to disease. The best way to
combat it, is through prompt and con-
tinuous medical attention, laboratory
tests to show the type of the disease,
and careful and efficient nursing.
Laboratory tests show that there
are thirty or more types of the germ
which generally causes pneumonia.
Serums for the treatment of most OF
these types are now available, but
laboratory tests of sputum coughed
up by the patients have to be made Co
determine the type that causes each
individual case. Special training is
required for making these tests which
have to be done with the utmost care.
The tests used to take a great deal Of
time. Now they can generally be COM
pleted within an hour, while the mes
senger waits. 1t is very important that
the sputum be sent to the laboratory
promptly and in the early stages Of
the disease.
Laboratory service of this sort IS
available, without charge, at all hours
of the day and night, to physicians
throughout Maryland, at the labora-
tories of the City and State Depart
ments of Health in Baltimore City,
and at the branch laboratories of the
State Department of Health in the
counties, to aid them in the prompt
diagnosis of the disease.
"Serums that are effective for the
treatment of special types of the
disease, may be obtained from the
State laboratories, at cost, on the
order of the physician in attendance"

Hospitals Really Benefit.
A rare enough feature in schemes
of the kind, the Irish hospitals
themselves actually get something
out of 1t. In order to receive a
grant an institution must set aside
at least 25 per cent of its beds for
the treatment of charity patients

The government sees to it Is per cent
of every take" is deposited to the
credit Of the Hospitals Committee
and it keeps a rigid hand on expen-
ditures through its minister of JUS
tice, without whose consent no
drawing can be held. All this con-
troll must be exercised, of course,
without the government allowing it
self to be placed in the light of
direct partner in the enterprise,
which might have rather far-reach-
ing interna tional complications. But
of course Uncle Sam solved the same
problem not quite so frankly in be-

whose tickets win several times in
succession, even if only $500 prizes,
capitalizes to the utmost on the fact.

some mysterious way millions of
tickets must be gotten abroad every
year, must run the gantlet of postal
inspectors and custom inspectors of
practically every nation on earth,
and must be sold in definance Of the
law.
And then the receipts and the
money must pass the same eagle eyes
and get back to the yellow -stucco
temple on the banks of the Dodder.
How the things works is mystery.

worry so long as the showers of gold
continue falling three times a year?
