FIRST AID PALACES

How some traditional first aid RENE
dies may do great harm to victims of &C
cidents is explained in Red Cross publ
cation. A few examples may be men
toned.
Rolling person apparently drowned
over barrel only forces water out of the
stomach, where it does no harm. But lay
ing the patient face down and alternately
applying and releasing pressure at the
small of the back often induces respiration
and recovery.
Rubbing frost-bitten parts with snow
is also bad practice. Let the frozen It's
sues thaw out gradually in temperature
a little above the freezing point
Some persons put spider webs, cuds of
cuts or infected wounds, ito draw the
poison out" These substances only in
crease the danger of infection.
Whisky, ammonia, permanganate of
potash or the application of freshly killed
chicken to wound caused by snake-bite
are all old-time remedies of no value. The
modern course is to tie bandage between
the wound and the heart, cut cash across
the fang marks and suck out the blood and
poison as quickly as possible. The venom
of rattlesnake taken into the mouth is
harmless, even if it is swallowed.
Many other fallacies are enumerated
and warned against in publications of the
Red Cross and medical societies. Every
person should have some knowledge of
what to do and what not to do in emer-
gencies. A more widespread diffusion of
such knowledge would no doubt be the
means of saving many lives, through CIV
ing proper first aid until a physician can
be called.

THE WAR AT SEA

At the beginning of the war, Britain
had about Fl million tons of merchant
shipping and France had nearly three mil
lion tons, or a total of approximately "a
million tons. After four months of Ger
man attacks by submarines, mines and
surface warships, the Allies still have %
million tons of merchant ships in service,
their losses having been less than one mil
lion tons.
Germany had about four and a half
million tons of merchant ships in the be-
ginning. Her losses in vessels sunk, cap
tured, or scuttled by their own crews are
estimated to be more than one-half million
tons. But all the rest have been driven
from the seas, and a German periodical
controlled by Marshall Goering himself
recently admitted that ''England's power
has brought Germany's overseas trade to a
complete standstill."
The Allies claim that more than one
half of Germany's original submarines in
service when the war started have been
destroyed. How many new ones have
been built is not known, but the replacing
of the trained crews lost at sea is a greater
problem than that of building new sub
marines.
In recent weeks submarine activity
has been greatly reduced, and mines have
been employed extensively and with con-
siderable effect. But while the number of
Allied vessels sunk has seemed impressive,
most of them have been comparatively
small There is so far no indication that
the Blockade of Germany can be broken,
or that a counterblockade of England can
be made effective.

Economic HighHghts

If you want to make Con-
gresham turn white. sneak up
behind him and shout loudly,
What are you going to do about
taxes?" The demand for a con-
crete tax and debt policy which
really gets to the bottom of our
tangled fiscal situation, is grow
ing rapidly. The public. which
for some months has been occu-
pied with European affairs, seems
to be turning it's attention again
to our own domestic problems.
The publicists and the columnists
have been pointing out that there
isn't much we can do about Eu-
rope, and that we have plenty to
keep us busy at home.
There is a good chance that
tax questions will pretty much
hold the spotlight during the
pending Congress. The Admin
istration's defenders and oppon-
ents are unlimbering their artil-
lery. But it won't be a purely
partisan fight. For there is no
general agreement within either
major party as to just what the
workable solution is.
White House opinion remains
uncertain. The President has at
times intimated, in rather vague
terms, that he would be willing
to cut government costs in some
directions in order to provide the
money needed for our vast ma
tional defense plans. At the
same time. it is generally be-
lieved that he would still like
to have the legal debt limit rails
ed from its present level of $45,-
600, 100000 to $4,000, 100000 or
more. It is felt that he may def
initelv propose that if Congress
sional sentiment seems favorable
! this session. And sentiment might
turn fayorable-though it OBJ
viously isn't now-if it seemed
that the present legal limit men
aced' the defense program.
Curiouslv enough, in that this

istration, the economy bloc lead
ers are generally Democrats.
Senators Harrison and Byrd are
perhaps the strongest advocates
of genuine government. expense
reduction. BY and large, the in
fluential Southern group of Sena-
tors and Representatives, main
stays of the party during its lean
years, support them. But, as yet,
the group has had no really def
mite program to offer. And it
naturally hesitates to embarrass
the head of the party, the Presi-
dent.

Republican spokesman talk a
great deal about economy. But
it looks as if they are on the
skittish side when it comes to
getting down to the facts and fig
ures. Senator Taft and Thomas
E. Dewey, Presidential aspirants
both, endorsed economy in gen.
eral terms but have refused to
propose definite program. There
is no great mystery as to why
this should be SO about these
men or any others with political
ambitions. Politics being what it
lis, successful candidates are
usually vague and cautious candi-
dates. The electorate will ap-
Iplaud economy as a general prin-
ciple. But, as rule, it is the
first to raise a rumpus when the
cuts are felt at home.
What all this amounts to is
that the chances of anything big
being done to solve the tax and
debt problems during 1910 are re-
mote. This is general election
year. Both parties want a short
session, and both want to avoid
having to place themselves too
definitely on record as to major
issues-with the single exception
of the war issue, on which all
seem agreed that we must re-
main neutral. So the odds favor
relatively evasive policy for
both Democrats and Republicans.
All officers of the government
admit that our fiscal policy gets
more involved daily. all admit
that it must eventually be faced.
But few really want to face it in
a general election year.

This column has stated several times
that President Roosevelt is internationally
minded. 1t is an affinity of his good neigh
Dor policy, but like charity it should begin
at home. He has now restored the sugar
quotas and sharply reduced the tariff on
the Cuban product, and knocked into a
cooked hat the plans of cooperative as
sociation which would have put $4,000
more Florida acres into production, would
have built a $4,000, 900 sugar mill and pro-
vided jobs for an estimated 5000 persons,
thus aiding foreign nation at the expense
OF a unit of the United States.

ALCOHOL AIDS PNEUMONIA

Alcohol and pneumonia bugs run
hand-in-hand through the human body
during the winter said an editorial in The
Southern Medical Association Journal,
which advises imbibers of alcohol to ease
up on drinking during the pneumonia
season.
Officials of the association declare
that pneumonia deaths are greater among
alcoholics than among teetotalers. AL
cohol causes the white blood cells to slow
UP in their. normal work of destroying
disease germs. 1t also causes interference
with the normal functioning of the throat
valve" which controls the opening to the
stomach and lungs.
In the words of DR.. M. Y. Dabney,
editor of The Journal, "alcohol thus aids
both the passage of the organisms into the
lungs and interferes with their destruction
in the bloodstream."
There is, so far as we know, no rea-
son to doubt the accuracy of the warning
which is given by this Medical Journal.
individuals who make it habit to take
aleohol, will. if they are wise, take adj
vantage of this warning.

is GOVERNOR
OLSON WEAKENING?
(Anaheim Bulletin)

Can Governor Olson be weakening in
his apparent support for Ham II
Eggs?"
This is the first conclusion that comes
from his statement that he is considering
the advisability of submitting the plan
to nationally known economists for an
analysis before calling a special cleo
tion on the scheme. There is, however,
more subtle conclusion to be drawn from
the announcement.
President Roosevelt, himself something
of an economist, has labeled the pension
plan as an attempted "short cut to Uto-
pia" 1t seems probable and Olson knows
it to be so-that nationally knwn econo-
mists will brand the idea a delusion and
a fraud In that case he wor I'd be leav-
ing himself open to accusations of being
anything but another Abraham Lincoln
the pension orators SO glibly term him.
1t is probable, also, that the pension
advocates would not relish having their
proposed emasure submitted to the lab
oratOry for tests.
All this being evident, it becomes ap-
parent that the governor might have
something else in view.
At Sacramento it is rumored that OIL
son wants some of his pet legislative
proposals submitted to the people on the
same ballot with "Ham n Eggs" The
legislature has not been kind to his
schemes, and he hopes the polls would
do better for him.
But in order to get his measures on
the ballot petitions must be circulated.
Signatures must be obtained, and the
pension group is the only organization
which might be prodded into circulating
the petitions. If they are showing re-
luctance, might it not be possible to en-
thuse them little by means of this eco
nomist threat? Stranger things have
happened in politics.

that he decided to go. And go he
did!

Fields office, but this time his mis-.
sion was not TO ask for Job.
Il want TO be a partner Of yours.
said Selfridge.
Field was astonished. What i'm
pertinence! But Selfridge had ar
guments to back up his confidence
in what he could do for that store
and finally Field agreed to take
him into the firm with a three
per cent interest in the profits Of
the store.
At the end of the first wear
dividends were declared. and Self
ridges share was 100000 In Other
words, in ten years he had lifteo

RELIEVING THE MIGRATORY
INDECENT PROBLEM
(Visalia Times-DeIta)


CALIFORNIA; predicament as the mecca
for a maj jOrity of INDECENT migrants
from the Middle West and South is get
ting recognition in Congress. sub-com-
mittee of three representatives has just
submitted a nine-pOint plan Of attack
for consideration of the California con-
gressional delegation.
The plan provides for the appoint
ment of House committee to study the
general problem of interstate migra
ton: continued efforts by governmental
agencies to inform people there is no
employment opportunity in California;
federal grants to states for general pub
lie assistance; continuance of work of
Farm Security Administration in rehab
iltating indgents in their own states to
keep them from migrating; development
of FSA camps in all states where farm
labor is essential; grants to government
tai health agencies to aid ailing indigents
wherever found: increased allotments
for educational aid for states overrun
with migrant children; settlement on
small parcels of land of presently mi
grating families where there is seasonal
demand for agriculture labor, combin-
ing wage-hour with subsistence farming.
In presenting the plan to the Califor
MIA delegation the committee recon-
mended increased federal aid to states,
like California, (which have been recip-
tents of many thousands of immigrants
over and above the number that can
presently be absorbed into their industry
and agriculture"
This is certainly step in the right
direction, and may bring tax relief to
resident people in California, providing
subsequent steps to put the plan into
operation are not too long delayed in
the taking.
