Cooley Suggests
Change in Method
of Tobacco Voting

Washington, April 27.-(AP)-Re-
preventative Cooley, Democrat,
North Carolina, said today, to a
delegation representing the North
Carolina Farm Bureau Federation,
he had suggested a change in the
method of computing the majority
in a tobacco control referendum.
The present law, he said, requires
. two-thirds majority of those vot-
ing regardless of acreage. The sug-
gestion was that quotas be effective
if farmers controlling tWo-thirds of
the acreage favored them.
The delegation conferred yesterday
with Cooley and other Tar Heel con-
gressmen. Each spokesman said that
because of rejection of marketing
quotas for the 1889 flue-cured to-
bacco crop, indications now pointed
to a tremendous production.

Free License To
Blind Don't axe
In Auto License

Raleigh, April 27-(AP)-The at
torney generals office ruled today
that laws granting blind persons
free State privilege licenses do not
entitle them to automobile licenses.
Assistant general Way Bruton
wrote the opinion at the request of
Dir Romer Cheek, secretary Of the
blind commission, who asked if a
blind person could obtain a free Ii
cense to operate taxi CAP service.
The laws do not exempt blind per-
sons from automobile license taxes,
either for private cars or for cars
used for hire, and that exemptions
are intended "only to provide for
free license for the privilege Of en-
gaging in some trade or profession" )"
Free permits may only be given to
persons having a net income from
the business OF less than $1,000 a

Washington, April 27.--(AP)-

the bureau Of public roads on "the
feasibility Of a system of transcOn-
tmcntal toll roads and master plan
for free highway developments"
The bureau said that it believed a
proposal toll system Of six transcon-
tncntal highways would be neither
feasible or adequate to meet traffic
needs. He suggested instead a syS-
ton Of interregional highways design

Blood Pressure
Scare or Not?

The story is told of a country
physician who has wonderful sue
cess in treating pneumonia patients.
1t was stated by some who thought
they knew that this physician called
all heavy colds pneumonia and as
practically all cold cases recover
anyway, this was the real reason
that he was so successful in the
treatment of pneumonia.
My own opinion is that this physi-
clan knew that if he told the patient
that he ''just had a cold," he would
want to be up and about in a day
or two, which would not only mean
that the cold would chang on" but
might bring on broncho-pneumonia
or pneumonia. In other words, the
physician thought it wise to "scare"
the patient, to prevent complica-
tons.
Now that blood pressure is so
much discussed, some physicians, if
blood pressure is high, try to
"scare" their patients into living
"quiet" life, rightly stating that
quiet life may double their years
on earth. / believe it will be agreed
that this may be just the proper ad-
vice in some cases; if some patients
were allowed to live their own lives
they would overwork, overeat, and
get overexcited.
DR.. Henry M. Thomas Jr., Johns
Hopkins hospital, Baltimore, in the
Baltimore number of Medical Gin
les of North America, states:
Scare Into Being Good.
sit is true that some individuals
must be scared into being good, but
among the high pressure group
these are few and far between.
Many, many more need reassur-
ance, and this comes in the form of
optimistic explanation of the cause
of high blood pressure. Most pa
tients want to know the actual fig
ures; if the reading is couple of
points above or below the last read
ing they are relieved or distressed
accordingly"

the Maharanee. "But the astrolo-

sendings just now, and they are bad
ly mixed. They are contradictory

after a seconds hesitation and with
noticeable effort:
Eyes, dear, it is certainly dark.
1t is secret, and it has to do with a
diamond mine, but I hope you won't

lend itself to what the. Maharanee
kept insisting was a picnic. She
wanted to be so modern and uncon-
ventional that even Rundhia would
approve. Sullenly defied by the out
ragged head-steward, whose turban
almost rose from his hair with hor-
ror, she dismissed him and took
charge.
The eventual compromise was
something between a bean-feast and
a banquet, in the glass-roofed patio,
amid a forest of potted palms and
canaries in silver cages. There were
Chinese lanterns and an utter drunk
enness of flowers. The long table
was loaded with silver and gold.
But there were paper napkins Chose
were Lynn's suggestion).
The Maharanee summoned the
Keeper of the Jewels, selected a
cluster of the most famous diamonds
from the Kadur collection, and
pinned it artfully on Lynn's black
silk. Lynn looked stunning in en-
broidered black silk. 1t showed off
her eyes and her golden hair. Ex-
element made her parted lips so
kissable that the Maharanee had
qualms of conscience.
Darling, my nephew Rundhia is
bad boy Be careful!"
Lynn laughed. The prospect of
annoying Aunty was delicious. Aunty
would be scandalized by high jinks
in palace. Aunty was one of those
people who think that palace life
should be like one endless corona
ton ceremony in Westminster Alb
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1939-08-03

hey. She could count on Aunty to
keep Rundhia within bounds.
The first arrival was Rundhia, in
dinner jacket and turban of cloth of
silver, critical of the cocktails; he
introduced ingredients learned in
Europe. He watched Lynn. He
made apparently random remarks
to discover her system, in case she
had one.
''Miss Harding, you look innocent,
gay and very beautiful. But I mis-
trust you. Your emotions seem to
me to be too honest. You will go
home and laugh at us ALL"
"Going home soon," Lynn an
swered. "Aunty didn't laugh when
she said that. She meant it."

''No. I'd rather stay here. I love
it."

nights. I'm wild about it all.
can't bear the thought of going home
yet"
Rundhia smiled.
The sheep-faced Maharajah en-
tered, toadied by attendants, who
arranged the cushions for him in a
chromium-plated armchair at the
end of the long room. Too polite to
speak any other language than Eng
fish in Lynn's presence, he frowned
sullenly at Rundhia and refused a
cocktail: aa4
"Your Bengal didn't bring my
tonic"

attending to Mrs. Harding. He

He was British gentleman in uni

He recognized Lynn instantly. His
expression changed to let her know
he recognized her. But he was i'm
perturbable. Nothing surprised him.
The palace chamberlain presented
him to the Maharajah and the Ma
haranee. He was gracious to them.

Lynn. He studied her. He smiled.
He said:
