HEALTH TENTSTO
|BE seen AT FAIR
State Dept. Plans Setup
for Bethlehem's AM
nual Display

Beside its active interest in see
ing that fair grounds are in sanitary
condition for handling large crowds
that are expected at agricultural
fairs, the State Department of
Health Is sendign its health tent to
certain of these fairs. as announced
IN its weekly bulletin today. 1t
sees in this an opportunity of d.
rectly presenting health problems
to family groups in the rural areas.
1t Is conscious also of the impor-
tant sanitary problems involved in
fairs and it places in the hands of
local health officers responsibility
for safe water supply for drinking
or washing dishes, disposal systems,
whether flytight privies or water
flush toilets, kept in clean condi-
ton and adequate for large numbers
and also acceptable methods for
protecting foodstuffs and beverages
from flies, dust and careless hand
ling.
Bethlehem Fair
Fairs at Greenfield Hill, Bethle-
hem, Ellington and Durham have
been scheduled.
In its khaki topped tent flying the
state flags, will be housed health
exhibit of interest to each member
of the family. A special feature of
the health exhibit will be the show
ing of health films of interest to
both parents and children. This
picture method of presenting health
has proven effective in reaching
such groups at fairs.
Weighing Of children is of minor
Importance, perhaps, as an indica-
ton Of health, but 1t is one of many
factors that point to the health con-
dition of the child. Weighing of
children gives an opportunity of
reaching the parents and discussing
other phases of health. Occasionally
weight gives a very good indication
of lack of or insufficient food of
the right kind. A nutrition exhibit
has been prepared to show what
foods should be used daily in order
to promote growth and maintain
health and how such a plan can be
adapted to a low income.
hyglenlSI Present
A hygienist will be present at each
of the fairs to discuss with parents
the need for proper dental care.
Quite often the childs teeth and
very often the adults teeth are good
examples of neglect and this pre-
sents an opportunity to emphasize
the need o; daily brushing of the
teeth and the Importance of foods
rich in minerals and vitamins, and
frequent and regular inspection by
the dentist at all ages. Soap models
showing the fast development of de-
cay as a result of neglect will be on
display.
The usual health leaflets will be
ready for distribution so that people
may read at leisure authentic facts
about disease control and health
promotion of vital interest to every
family.

But when the government bor-
rows from the bank it is different.
The bank does not hand over cash.
1t gives the government credit on
its books. It creates a deposit for
the government. 1t creates what is
called bank money. 1t actually
brings into existence an additional

After the loan is made there is
a hundred dollars more in the coun-
try than before. If 1t borrows a
billion there is billion dollars more.
That is why it is inflationary. 1t
increases purchasing power, sends up
prices, increases wages and profits.
The more billions the government
borrows, the more the imitation. The
more the initiation the greater the

penses of the war in this last way

PROTESTED NAMES

Between so and g. names will be
removed from the local voting lists
as a result of protests made Friday
by the Citizens Good Government
association.
Only four of IS voters cited to ap-
pear today to show cause why their
names should not be removed did
so. Their names will be allowed to
remain on the lists. Several others
of the IS were found to have chang

to be qualified as voters.
The association based most of its
complaints on the grounds that the

Now they are embarked on an
other war. And the puzzling ques-
ton to the man in the street is;
What are they going to use for
money!"
Germany has given a partial an
swer to that in the last few days.
She has increased the income taxes
on even the lowest brackets to SO
per cent.
Remember, in the United States
the income tax on incomes up to
$4,000 is per cent. In Germany 1t
is SO per cent since the war started.
What it will be presently l do not
yet know. How would you like to
hand over half of your wages to the
government?
TWO FINANCIAL
ROADS TO WAR
There are only two ways TO pay
the costs of war. One is with taxes.
The other is with borrowed money.
At the present time Europe has
raised taXeS so high to keep going
her efforts against collapse during
the depression and to support her
war industries, that it is literally
impossible to get much more in
the way of taxes.
We may be sure, therefore, that
Europe will begin at once to bor-
row money. England, in fact, has
already authorized loan of
2,5o0,000000 which is ten
billion dollars-a tidy sum for a be-
ginning.

those halcyon days when the State
Department was rich mans club
and no one was afraid to admit
1t.
Grew also was the center Of
the career clique whose members
promoted themselves to lush
jobs back in the days Of CAL
vim Coolidge and Frank b. KEEL
log. He was under secretary Of
state at the time, and q mis-
cradle failure. As ambassador
to Turkey, however, the job to
which he promoted himself, he
was a brilliant success.
Having spent his youth tiger
shooting and travelling, Grew
lacked business experience and
executive training. Charm alone
will not run the intricate mach
inery Of the State Department.
Among TOO employees it is spread
too thin.
But with foreign ministers in
Turkey and Japan, charm counts.
With 1t, Grew couples a shrewd
diplomatic head, a wealth Of ex-
perience abroad, and an amaz-
ing ability to win friends and in
fluence diplomats. Probably he
was one Of the most popular am

their local mouthpiece, some time ago

other Democrats interested in the reor-
ganization and future welfare OF the
nartv. We don't suppose Mr. Scully careo
to be referred to as "front-man any
more than does Charles c. Foster, the
COP candidate, the wild rumors aDouI
whom make even the Oldest polticaA
dopesters shake their heads in astonlsh-

In referring to political candidate as

place a label on him that Will warn away

The announcement that the resump-
ton of voluntary motor vehicle inspec-
tons has been postponed for six weeks or
two months won't bother most motorists.
The average driver isn't in any hurry to
see them start because he still remembers
the delays and inconvenience caused by
the testing lanes to which we were &C.
customed in the last few years. But per-
haps the present delay may act as slim
ulant for what is to come. From all
reports when the tests are resumed, it will
be on a scale that will win approval from
even the worst complainant among the
drivers.
The reason for the present delay is to
make possible the hiring of corps Of 100
inspectors who win be permanent en-
ployes of the Motor Vehicle Depar tment,

War on Disease

The battle against disease goes on
slowly, relentlessly, in the end usually
productive of new developments to lessen
the annual toll of lives. Once in a while,
scientists aiming for one result, stumble
accidentally upon another, totally differ
ent from but as significant as the one
they sought. Something like that hap
pened when a Washington physician
used the new drug, sulfapyridine to COM
bat pneumonia germs. The doctors pa
tient was also infected with influenza
germs, and the drug destroyed not only
the pneumonia bacteria but the influenza
germs as well.
Subsequent experiments by the U. s.
Public Health Service have borne out the
theory that sulfapyridine can be used
effectively against influenza. But scien-
lists are unwilling to accept the findings
as definite until exhaustive research has
been completed. At all events, there is
some reason to believe that important
progress has been made. The drug must
be used with considerable care, and it will
probably be some time before it is gen.
orally accepted. But the discovery. may
be the beginning of a fresh battle on
influenza.

the next one. So far as favoritism is
concerned thereIl be none at any Of the
testing lanes. The same type of exam
nation will be provided for the shiny new
car as for that of ancient vintage.
Rotation of inspectors will also be pro-
vided to prevent acquaintanceship play
ing too much of part in the speed pas
sage through the testing lane of some
individual With the outlay Immediately
of about $4,000 there should be no need
of providing make-shift lanes nor caus-
ing them to be placed where they are
inaccessible o. fail to provide ready en-
trance and exit for motorists. We look
for such a complete change in the
methods that henceforth it will be not a
disagreeable chore to have cars tested.

Real independence

II ever Mayor Patrick M. Perrlello
showed real independence it was in his
appointment of Attorney Timothy S. Sui
Ivan as Corporation Counsel yesterday.
Mr.. Sullivan has been the Democratic
Assistant Corporation Counsel for good
many years now and Mayor Perriello, as
Republican, was under no compulsion to
retain him with the retirement from
office OF Attorney Vincent A. Scully. 1t
was an opportunity to name a Republican
to office and certainly no real censure
could be placed on such an action.
Yet with an opportunity to build up
his own personal following or to hand out
patronage where 1t might do him the
most good, the mayor has acted on his
own Judgment and advanced the assist
ant office-holders to the head OF the de-
partment. This, he maintains, is IN keep
Ing with his desire to reward for merit
rather than party affiliation. 1t may be
before Mayor Perriello has relinqulshed
his office next January l, that his party
will regret sincerely it's rejection OF him
as mayoralty candidate.
incidentally, Mayor Perriello's appoint
ment of Attorney Timothy S. Sullivan to
the office of Corporation Counsel may
be the happy solution to what might be
q headache to Attorney Vincent A. Scully
later on, should he be successful at the
polls upon November IA; namely, the
selection of man to fill that office should
he have had in mind someone other than
Attorney Sullivan. Fate in the guise OF
Mr.. Perriello perhaps has done Mr.. Scully
q favor, assuming, of course, that he
wins the election. However, on the other
hand should Mr.. Foster be elected - well,
that's a horse of another color.
