BRIGHT MOMENTS
IN GREAT LIVES

Benjamin Franklin had lust
exhibited his lightning rod in
England, and the king had seen
to it that several public build
ings were equipped with light
ming protection. Shortly after
they were erected, the Proud
fleet powder magazine, protect
ed by Franklin's lightning rods,
was struck by lightning, but
escaped any injury. A DR.. VIII
son m m d i a e ly told King
George III that all lightning
rods should be blunted on the
end, rather than pointed. and
gave him such a good argument
that the crown had all of Frank
Inns rods removed, and the
blunted ones erected. Franklin
wrote Wilson October IA. 1777,
and said: The kings chang
ing his poitned conductors for
blunt ones is matter of small
Importance to me. If I had a
wish about it, it would be that
he rejected them altogether.
For it is only after he feels him
self and his family safe from the
thunders of heaven, that he
dared to use his own thunder in
destroying his innocent sub
jects."

WOULD END POLITICS
AT COUNTY HOSPITAL

Editor, The Times: The Joint
Railway Employees association,
like many other citizens, are
greatly concerned about the
present unsettled conditions in
the management of our county
hospital.
We feel that such an impor-
tant institution should not be
used as so-called political
football"
A non-political set-up should
have been established in our
county hospital long time ago,
but since it was not, why wait
any longer
Although railroad men have
their own disqualification they
are intensely interested in this
important institution and wish
that something might be done
Immediately to clear up the
present discord and make SIM
liar occurances impossible.

dead 1t appears, although
Henry is too modest to say so,
that this novel remark aroused
strange and original feelings
among members of the federal
judiciary. AS chairman of the
senate judiciary committee,
Ashurst is naturally man of
prestige and Importance in the
judicial world.
So it is not remarkable, as
Ashurst notes, that district and
circuit judges have written in
to thank him for his bold pro-
nouncement in favor of incon-
sistency and against precedent.
For him, the chairman of the
senate judiciary committee. to
take such a stand, they tell him,
has emboldened them to tell dead
judges and dead precedents to 80
to hell. Secretly Ashurst, who
opposed the court-packing meas
ure though he didn't admit it,
thinks that his announcements
on inconsistency will have a more
profound effect in the judiciary
than FDR's judicial reforms.
President Roosevelts friends
are chuckling over Capitol Hills
supposed defiance of the man in
the White House. According to
their figuring, FDR will win out
regardless of how congress
handles his recommendations.
The president, in their opinion.
has repudiated the charge that
he is dictator by proposing
rather than demanding legisls-
ton. Except for relief for the
railroads and government re-
organization, he has asked for
no new or disturbing reforms.
Wanting nothing of political, So
cial or economic Importance, he
has handed the legislative ball
to congress. hoping for several
disastrous Capital Hill fumbles.
Congress, however. especially
Vice President Garner, is equally
wary. The legislative branch,
if it carries out its present plans,
hopes to show the country that
il knows a lot more about run
ming the nation and the govern
ment than President Roosevelt
does. II will be the political

Your HEALTH
By DIR. NORRIS FISHBEIN

At least one-fifth of all OF the
patients with Buergers disease
who had developed gangrene had
to have minor operations on their
feet In relationship to tiny in
fections around the toes.
The investigators recommend
that patients with this disease
should be taught to avoid crush
ing or bruising the feet or toes
and that they should be instruct
ed in the proper care of bruises,
cuts. corns. scratches and SIM
liar injuries. Every little abras-
ion on the feet should be care
fully treated and in these people
should be regarded as a serious
injury.
New shoes should be worn only
a half hour to an hour on the
first day and plenty of time
should be spent in breaking in
every pair of shoes. In cold
weather soft wooden stockings
should always be worn.
Care of the toenails is especi-
ally important and becomes more
important as trouble with the
blood supply develops. The toe
nails should be cut straight
across after the feet have been
soaked in warm water and care
fully cleaned Corns, calluses,
and bunions should be suitably
protected against further irrita-
ton but should not be cut. In
deed, every minor surgical pro-
cedure should be avoided.
DIR. Bayard T. Horton who has
studied these cases, emphasizes
that people with this disease are
more likely to have injuries than
other people because of the poor
blood supply. They are also more
likely to suffer i'll effects from
exposure to cold.
In the care of the feet, the It's
sues Should always be washed
carefully and dried with soft
towel Especially must persons
afflicted be careful in drying the
skin between the toes. Cases
were reported in which rubbing
briskly with a rough towel has
produced an ulcer. If the feet
are excessively dry or if the skin
has a tendency to crack or to
scale, greases or ointments may
be rubbed on gently to soften
the skin.
However, ointments containing
strong disinfectants, chemical
compounds or corn cures have
caused the beginning Of gangrene
in such cases. Particularly is 1t
dangerous to use some of the
very strong remedies which are
used to treat athletes foot.

CONGRESS- TO LEARN
OF TOWNSEND PLAN

Editor, The Times: The Town
send movement is a leading ma
tional issue and will be recog-

congress. A revolving fund for
the retirement of every elderly
citizen from gainful employment
is the answer TO 100000 I'M
ton of our bountiful production
that all may enjoy the priceless
gifts of nature and enterprise.
DR.. Townsend made trip to
Hawaii where the transaction
tax has been in operation for
nearly four years. Louis A. Sill
via, tax authority, chief deputy
tax commissioner of Hawaii, has
now come to this country on a
years leave Of absence and is
now in Washington, D. c., to
give advice to Dr. Townsend and
his aides in their efforts to have
congress enact Townsend legis-
lation.
WI SYLVIA Gays lit AVAS IL
the trans actions or business
privilege tax in Hawaii right up
to the time it was put in oper-
alton. Now they are strongly
behind it because it has facili-
tated their tax payments, has
brought in evaders, reduced the
per capita tax and has become
a replacement tax.
Mr.. Sylvia is ready with testi-
mony, figures, charts and graphs
to open the eyes of congress to
the most important taxing sys-
tenn this government has ever
known.
So, because it is the law of the
universe that nothing living ever
stands still, the Townsend plan

A MATTER
OF BOOKKEEPING

He followed this idea up in his
budget address by urging a new
method of keeping the nations
books-by segregating expendi-
lures for current purposes from
capital outlay, referred to as
investments.
Now, as a matter of fact, 1t is
possible for a government as we'll
as a private individual to make
an investment. And when It does
there is no reason why such an
investment should not appear on
the governments books Just as
il would on a private concerns
books II the government builds
a utility and operates il for reve-
nue., that is an investment
1t is not in the same class with
expenditures where there is no
prospect of return. A man who
buys a pair of shoes TO wear is
spending money. And men who
buy a machine to make shoes
which he will sell and thus re-
cover the cost of the machine, is
investing money. That is true of
the government as well as indi-
Niduals
