Feeling that "it can happen in

that although the zoning and build

houses, it is the duty of the building
inspector to make recommendation
for more stringent laws when in

(You first read of Frank
Murphy's Attorney Generalship
prospect in this spot a month
ago-but not Hopkins, unfor-
tunately.)
What the Schooled politicos in
Congress are saying about the
Cabinet shifts is, in a word:
Murphy was not chosen to
represent Law to Roosevelt, but
to represent Roosevelt to Law.
So also with Hopkins and Com
merce. Two newcoming Roose-
veltianS thus are replacing the
old-time Democratic leaders
Cummings and Roper in the

anything more than lack of

But just as the opposition had

Parents Told
Of Dangers
In Colds

Parents were warned yes
terday by the Health Depart
nent to keep home from
school all children with bad
colds.
DR.. James G. Cumming,
preventabIe disease director,
urged grOwnups to cooperate
In preventing the spreading
Of bad colds as a precautiOn
against grippe, influenza and
pneumonia.
Parents" he said, should
keep children home when
they have bad colds, eSpe-
cially for the first day or two.
This makes for a quicker re-
cOvery. For anyone with a
bad cold to 90 to bed and
stay there has q tendency to
prevent pneumonia"
Ten students - five boys
and five girls-were sent
home from Roosevelt High
School yesterday to prevent
their bad colds from spread
ing. Roth school and health
authorities, however, said
there were no more bad colds
than in normal at this time
Of the year.
