 What causes ether pneumonia? !?
 CT. B. W.
 Answer-That is lung inflamma- ton following a general anesthetic. Some physicians believe the main cause is irritation of lung by the anesthetic. Others believe the main cause is atelestasis, collapse of por- tion of the lung from shallow breath ing due to abolishment of the breathing reflex by deep anesthesia. The latter view is more generally accepted now. Limitations of car- bon dioxide mixed with air produce deper breathing and seem to prevent post-operative pneumonia. Deep breathing exercise, when the patient is conscious and capable of follow ing instruction, is employed by good surgeons as routine practice.

Then, in- stead of tell him to throw back his shoulders" without further ex- planation, start by encouraging him to be backbone conscious. He should stand, as you do, with back bone in as straight line as possi- ble-certainly with no exaggerated hollow in the center of 1t.
 Show him how to stand against 8 flat wall with feet about six inches away from 1t and center of spinal column touching the flat sur- face.
 BOOK -ON-HEAD
 IS LOTS OF FUN
 When he first does this, his shoul- ders will slope forward. Gradually, however, he'll be able to straighten up so that shoulders almost touch while center of backbone actually does touch. Tip of spine should be tilted slightly upward and away from the wall.
 While he is standing against the wall in the straight backbone position, encourage him to pull his stomach in and raise his chest. These two steps make eliminat- ing the hollow in back infinitely easier.
 Once he can stand correctly, place a book on top of his head and let him walk about the room. This is the simplest of posture exercises, but it's a pretty efd- cacious one. And almost any child will think it's fun.

A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOCTORS MAY BE WRONG

| Medical authority is the accumu- lated weight of the expressed opin- ion of eminent doctors of the past and the present. The very idea makes me vince.
 Dogs and some other animals do go mad. I am not veterinary and my notions concerning the cause of irrational behavior in such animals are strictly amateur notions. fancy various illness may make animals delirious or maniacal, because we know that various illness may make a man delirious, maniacal or mad.
 The weight of medical authority in man is overwhelming, almost. concerning the ocurrence or rabies And so is the weight of public health authority, that is, the belief or hon. est conviction of all health officers or public health administrators, so far as know, is that bite, scratch or wound inflicted by dog or other animal that has rabies is likely to inoculate the victim with rabies. A person so inoculated or infected is, according to the medical and health authorities, almost certain to die of rabies, unless the person is immedi- ately given aSteur treatment.
 The safest course to follow in every case of bite, scratch or wound by dog or other animal that may possibly be rabid is as follows, according to the recognized medical and health authorities:
 1. Capture the animal and confine It under the observation of vet erinary physician.
 ?. Do not kill the animal until competent observers determine whether the animal has rabies.
 3. Immediate treatment of the. wound by a surgeon. If medical attention is not within call, then im- mediate cauterization of the wound with pure nitric acid, sometimes called Tuning" nitric acid.
 4. In the absence of the opinion of veterinary physician that the animal is not rabid, begin Pasteur treatment at once-any physician
 
 anywhere can administer the Pas- teur virus in his office or in the patients home-usually not less than fourteen daily injections are given; some health authorities advise 21 daily injections of Pasteur virus.
 Personally, I'd have neither the crude cauterization nor any Pas teur virus if I were wounded by an animal presumably rabid. I'd pre- fer to rely on immediate surgical treatment of the wound in the ordi- nary way, plus an immediate in- jection of tetanus serum, and a sec- ond injection of the same serum a week later, as precaution against possible lockjaw.
 So, if the great preponderance of medical opinion of the day is against my peculiar belief, I'm sorry, but can only give my conscientious be- lief. I tell you what I'd do. You had better do as your family doctor advises in any circumstance.

RAISING A FAMILY
.Self-Pity
 Is a Trait That Saps 
DEAR MRS. HART:


 think there is such a thing as feeling too sorry for child. More- over, am quite sure that 1t is bad for your son to know you are break ing your heart over him.
 No one could be more sympathetic than am about boy who sees his rich cousins get everything, and go away to expensive camps, but every child in the world must grow accus- toned to others having what he has not.
 As a matter of fact, unless a proper attitude is cultivated in early years, the result of jealousy and self-pity will dog him all through his life, make him i'll even, and poison all appreciation of what blessings he has.
 You really do not ask for an an- swer, but it did you good to put your feelings on paper and tell someone of your resentment against fate. I'm glad you did. It is always 8 splendid idea to write ones troubles down, and next day tear them up, or to do as you did, and write, not to the person responsible for your sorrows, but an impersonal friend. However, the habit of tearing up ones bitterness, put down in black and white, is a splendid one. It re- stores our peace of mind in some mysterious way.

 Of course, he won't listen. He will listen, though, if you add your own recriminations to his thoughts. It will make him feel fine to know that you are hating the same people he is hating. ...
 At such a time, I believe I would go to the library and get the story of Abraham Lincoln, written for boys by Irving Bachelor, called "A Boy for the Ages. Or ask the li- brarian for "The Sory of Buffalo Bill' by Shannon Garst. When Buff. falo Bill was eight he undertook to make a living for his mother and her family. Comparisons are never odious when we begin to compare our ad- vantages with those of other people who have less.
 Forget about the cousins, or rather, be glad they have what they have, if you can. And tell John to forget it, too.
 Yours sincerely, OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON.

Is a burro eligible for a horse
show?
This, question today was before
the committee in charge of the Of
flee of National Capital Parks Rock
Creek Bride Path Horse Show,
scheduled for Sunday at the equita-
ton field, Ridge road, near Ross
drive.
1t seems that Tommy Owen, d
year-old son of Thornton w. Owen,

pet burro which he rides extensively
and wants to enter in the children S
saddle pony class in the coming
show.
Almost Sure He's Eligible.
National Capital Parks officials
yesterday weren't quite sure whether
a burro was eligible, but admitted
that there was ample evidence, both
in the Encyclopedia Britannica and
from appearances, that burro is a
member of the horse family.
Therefore, predictions were that
Tommy would be permitted to enter
his pet, although there was some
thought that the furry little quad
ruped might steal the show from the
saddle ponies.
AS the committee was deciding
about Tommy Ovens pet burro. it
also was putting final touches to the
program for the show itself.
Albert Clyde-Burton, chairman Of
the committee, today outlined the
general rules.
