Your HEALTH
BY DIR. NORRIS F1sHBEIN

Particularly common as a COM
plication of colds and coughs
and other winter diseases is
pleurisy. an inflammation of the
membranes which line the walls
of the chest. Pleurisy is practi-
cally always associated with in
lection. Other conditions, how
ever. such as fracture of the ribs,
gangrene of the lung. tumors, or
any injury to the tissues may be
complicated by secondary infec-
ton and inflammation Of this lin
ing membrane.
Typical of pleurisy is the Sc
we're pain In the side of the chest,
which Is usually worse when the
patient coughs or breathes deep
ly. Sometimes the pain is felt
at the actual spot of the inflam-
nation. but In other cases may
be confined to the shoulder OF to
the abdomen. For example.
when there is serious plcurisy
complicating pneumonia. pa
tients sometimes feel pain In the
are Of the appendix. II the In
lection and inflammation are
sufficient, there viii be associ-
ated fever and a general feeling
Of illness.
The doctor determines the
presence of pleurisy by using the
simple methods of physical X
animation which are traditional.
He listens with his stethoscope
over the spot where the pain Ia
felt. and II plcurisy Ia present. he
In likely to hear a rubbing and
creaking sound, which Ia typical
Of that condition. He finds also
that there are changes In the
breathing sounds and In the
sound Of the spoken voice that
are due to the associated inflam-
nation. Then when he taps the
chest he will hear q change In
the note over the area In which
there Ia Inflammation and swell
ing beneath the skin. muscles
and bones which constitute the
walls Of the chest.
Obviously pleurisy itself is not
dangerous as there is a tendency
toward recovery. but II the pleu-
risy II due to tuberculosis or to
infection with some germ that IL
virulent In character. the condi-
tion IL n demanding the most
serious consideration. Even in
mild cases. therefore. 1t Is Gus
tomsry TO put the person with
pleurisy tn bed in order to pre-
vent the spreading of the condi-
tion. II the pain is severe, move
ment of the chest il stopped nv
strspping with adhesive tape
over a large area.
The most serious complication.
after pleurisy has occurred. Is
the pouring out Of fluid into the
chest cavity, which Ia the body's
method Of reacting against the
Inflammation. Such pouring out
Of fluid IL characterised BY a
physician as effusion. II this
material becomes infected so
that pus II present. 1t becomes
promptly necessary to get the
excess material u of the chest.
This the physician does by in
sorting q needle between the
ftbs. As the fluid comes out II
u collected and examined. thus
enabling the physician to deter
mine definitely the nature of the
infection. At the same time the
release Of the fluid will help to
relieve the pressure and thus
control the pain.

HIGH PRICES NOT A

Editor, The Times II you are
expecting the politicians to cure
the depression you may be an
optimist but you do not really
know what makes the wheels go
around. The majority of the peo-
pie are more or less to blame
for this economic condition. At
least the o influential are to
blame. Can you except the poll
tician to oppose the theology Of
the majority You must agree
with the majority If you hope
to get their votes. You must set
your sail and go with the wind.
Almost every organized group
have. Or are trying to build a
corral around their group to
keep anyone out. who may be-
lieve In competition, so that they
who r in can raise the price
of their product and control 1t.
whether ii be goods, services. or
wages. They do not worry about
the fellow who has to buy the
goods, neither do they care what
happens to those who cannot get
into the corral.
They have an over-production
complex. They think that the
solution lies in c~urtailins pro-
duction and causing a scarcity
80 that they can raise prices.

the rest of the price from the
government on a 20-yesr loan at
3ls per cent interest.
The other kind OF subsidy is
the operating d%ifferential.
Suppose. again. that you are
a ship owner. running a ship on
some definite overseas route.
Your principal competitor may
be a Greek. with far lower oper-
ating costs-lower wages. lower
bills for repairs and supplies. and
so on.

WARTIME
VALUES
Under these two kinds Of SUBJ
sides, then. the commission is
undertaking to revive the mer-
chant marine. II figures not only
that this will be a fine thing
for export trade, but that it
will be of great value to the
navy.
For instance: Last year IL
tankers were laid down for the
Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey.
They will be the worlds finest
tankers, able to steam at a 1e-
knot clip.
In cas- of war, they would be
ideal auxiliaries for the fleet.
Because of the special defense
features that are being built
into them. the commission is
paying rs per cent of their cost.

WASHINGTON-Back in the fabulous clipper ship era,
American merchant vessels were the finest and fastest in
the world and they carried 90 per cent of Americas overseas
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1939-03-11

Square-riggers and buckle
mates are gone forever. and the
merchant marine long since fell
on evil days. So II i. rather ex-
citing to learn that there is sc-
tuslly a good chance that those
old days may return sgain-in
a stresmlined. mechanical. 20th-
century version.
A merchant marine revival of
startling proportions Ia under
way. Fifty-two new merchant
vessels were laid down in Ameri-
can yards last year. The L. S.
Maritime Commission, which has
this revival under its wing, aims
to see at least so new ships
built each year for 10 years.
u. $. MAY
RIDE CREST
The commission feels that
these ships will be the best that
can be built anywhere. When
the program is completed. the
United States merchant fleet will
rank a out as near the top as a
fleet can get. from the stand
point of speed and efficiency.
Foreign trade routes of inter-
est to American exporters will
be serviced better than they are {
at present. and service will be
given TO many points which now
are not covered at all.
This Maritime Commission is
another of those innumerable
government agencies. and it is
spoonfeeding the revival assidu-
ously with federal funds. BY
the end of 1889, something like
1890. 900 900 will have been
spent.
For the new merchant fleet is
being subsidized. But the sub
sides are open and direct, not
disguised as mail contracts; and
they are expected to lead to
profitable steamship operation
by private owners and away
from government ownership and
operation.
SUBSIDY
ALTERNATIVES
The commission al grant two
kinds of subsidy. First, there
is the construction differential.
1t is cheaper, unfortunately, to
build a ship abroad than in this
country. Suppose, as a shipper,
you want to build a big cargo
boat which will cost 81 ,00O, 600.
A survey shows that your Jap
anese competitor a duplicate
that boat at home for $500 900.
In that case, the Maritime
Commission puts up $500 900 OF
the construction price. You do
not get the money; it goes direct
to the builder. You put up one
quarter of the $780, 900 balance
