boat Lieutenant de Vaisseau Paris
completed another trans Atlantic
experimental flight yesterday, ar
irving at this seaplane base at SAT

'Rummy Noses
Held Not Due
Alcohol
By the Associated Press,

ST. LOUIS, May 19.-There are
dozen kinds of red "rummy noses"
with as many shades of color and
not one of them is due to alcohol.
This medical fact is demonstrated
In a new way at the scientific
exhibit of the American Medical
Association by DR.. George Schwartz
of Boston City Hospital.
DR.. Schwartz, for the first time
IN medical history, has adapted
color photography to skin diseases.
There are more than 100 of these
human affections, a few of them
both incurable and fatal. His
pictures show more than half of
all varieties.
The correct diagnosis of most of
these diseases depends almost en-
tirely on shades of color, all reds.
The tones are from brown and
copper, through pink to purple and
blush tints. The noses are among
the exhibits. Some tend to initiate
strawberries, but their shades are
mainly of the blue and purple
orders.

A so-called weed eczema" similar
to ivy poisoning but which may be
due to sensitivity to large number
of plants, was described by DR.. Bed
ford Shalmire of the Baylor Uni
versity School of Medicine.
Hardly recognized in medical
textbooks, he said, it is a skin erup-
ton which begins in spring or early
summer and continues until the first
killing frosts. With each seasonal
recurrence the eruption becomes
more widespread as the Sensitivity
of the individual is increased. Soon
er or later it becomes perennial, ex-
tremely severe during the growing
season and with remissions, briefer
and briefer as the years 60 by, dur
ing the winter. Ivy poisoning usu-
ally clears up quickly. Quite the
contrary is the case with this malady
Even after six weeks where there
has been no contact with weeds the
eruption sometimes continues.
hay Fever PRODUCED.
Every weed, DR.. Shalmire said,
contains two factors. One pro-
duces hay fever in sensitive per-
sons. The other is responsible for
the breaking out on the face, hands,
ankles and other exposed surfaces,
characteristic of this recently rec
ognized malady. The eczema-p
ducing substance, he said. appears
on the leaves, stems and flowers of
most weeds in the form of tiny
globuleS of oil.
Meerschaum, the material used in
making pipes, may prove valuable
remedy for ulcers of the stomach,
according to report presented to-
day by DR.. Manfred Kramer of
Newark, N. J. The mineral is a
form of magnesium. 1t serves, DR..
Kramer said, to counteract the acid
that occurs to excess in the diges-
tive tract in the presence of ulcers
but at the same time has no in
furious effects.
All DR.. Kramer's patients had long
standing, recurrent, severe ulcers.
Seventy-three out of a hundred have
been free of symptoms from three
months to more than a year. Those
in whom the treatment apparently
has failed, he said, diSobeyed in
Structions.

Healthier Children Urged.
The development of healthier
children to preserve American de-
mocracy was urged. Superior chill

is the aim in Germany, is the
greatest need today, DR.. Edward

declared.

American children.

have guns and other munitions, but
unless we have the men, America
will not survive" he added.

JAW BOARD ExpELS
HOMER MARTIN

CLEVELAND.-(FP)-The exec
utive board of the United Auto
Workers (CIO) cleared decks for the
special convention opening here
March q when it tried former Pres.
Homer Martin on Is counts of dis
ruption and company unionism,
found him guilty and permanently
expelled him. He has an appeal to
the convention under the JAW con-
stitution which he was charged with
constantly violating, but since such
an appeal would mean that he rec
ognized the Cleveland convention as
official he is not considered likely
to take advantage of his rights.
The Cleveland convention, called
by % Of the "a members on the
board before the split, is still backed
by 20 members, while Martins con-
vention in Detroit early this month
was backed by four, including Mar
tin himself. The 20-man board at
Cleveland was unanimous in ousting
him.
The collapse of Martins control
over the union, represented by the
shrinking of a 16 to 8 majority on
the board after the Milwaukee con-
vention of 1887 to the expulsion vote
of 20 against him now, is a story of
complete unfitness for union leader
ship on Martins part, outside of his
generally conceded talent as an emo
tional orator and his unflagging
exuberance and vitality. He had
little conception of policy, none of
loyalty to colleagues or of integrity
toward the press and his member
ship, and history finally caught up
with him, according to his former
associates.

A. Fredritkson 10 Give
Radio Address Mar. "a

Fascist Danger Signals in Mon
tana'' will be the subject of a radio
talk by Arvo Fredrickson, the state
chairman of the Communist Party
of Montana, it was announced today.
The speech will be broadcast over
the open forum hour of stations
KGIR in Butte and KFPA in Helena,
this Friday, March Oath, from 10
p. m. to 1915 p. m.
Mr.. Fredrickson will outline the
concrete organizations and groups in
the state that are carrying on Nazi
propaganda. He will explain the
relation between these groups and
individuals and the international
drive Of Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy
and m%ilitaristic Japan. He will ex-
plain their role in the general fight
of reaction against the New Deal
program.
In the past year or so MI. Fred
rickson has broadcast a number of
talks which were well received by
radio fans in Butte, Helena and
vicinity. Many recall his broadcast
of Nov. 10, 1887, after the Anaconda
Copper Mining Co. started to shut
down the Butte mines, and the city
of Butte was forced to depend on
WPA and relief for a livelihood. In
view of the recent threats of the
Public Welfare Board administrator
to cut old age pensions, aid to de-
pendent children, and direct relief
to the absolute minimum, the people
of Butte are eager to hear what the
Communist leader will say.

UNIONS PROTEST
new EXAMINATION
FOR P0STMASTERS
Central Labor Bodies Support
Finnegan.

The following letter was written
by the Typographical Union of Ana
conda and has been sent to both
Senator Wheeler and Postmaster
General James Farley. Unions that
have endorsed Mr.. Finnegan for
postmaster of Anaconda are the Ana
conda Trades and Labor Council, and
practically every typographical I'M
ion in the state of Montana. These
unions have also written to Senator
Wheeler and Mr.. Farley protesting
against %Finnegan's removal.
Butte, Montana,
March 10, 1889.
Hon. B. K. Wheeler,
U. S. Senate,
Washington, D.. C.
Dear Senator:
This is to respectfully request you
to reconsider your action in asking
for a new examination for the post
mastership at Anaconda, Montana,
and support the confirmation of
Frank Finnegan, the present acting
postmaster, who passed a successful
civil service examination recently.
We understand that you ask the
new examination to permit some of
your friends to take the examina-
ton in order to GUST Finnegan. You
have not given any sensible reason
why your friends did not enter the
competitive examination when it was
announced in the local Anaconda
Standard on October IS. The failure
of your friends to enter the exam
ination when it was properly called
seems gross neglect on their part
and they should take the conse-
quences for their indifference and
neglect instead of trying to penalize
Finnegan for complying with every
requirement of the civil service rules
and regulations and passing a sue
C6SSlul GAdiulldlIOlls
We are very anxious to see that
Finnegan is confirmed as postmaster
not only because he proved by the
civil service examination that he is
worthy of the position on merits
alone, but he has the qualities that
make an ideal federal officer. He is
honest and trustworthy; accommo-
dating to every class and progressive
in his ideals; his public record as
alderman in his city, as library trus-
tee, as member of the legislature of
this state is sufficient to prove he
has the best interests of the workers
of this state and nation at heart and
is not the type to betray any trust or
fail to do all in his power to live up
to the responsibilities placed upon
him. AS a leader in the trade union
movement he has been a constructive
influence in making better condi-
tons for the working class, and he
has never tried to sell his cause of
labor at any time to promote his per
sonal interests. With such a record
behind him and his record of ex-
cellent service since he has been act
ing postmaster, we can see no sensi-
BILE, reasonable or worthy excuse for
your request for another examina-
ton merely to award the position
to one of your political friends in
stead Of to a real union man who has
served the public and won his right
to hold the office on merit. We
again hope you will reconsider your
request for a new examination.
