YOUR HEALTH
By DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN

There is hardly a nation of
people in the world that does
not attach a great deal of super
stition to sneezing.
The English-speaking races al
ways say God bless you" when
someone sneezes. The ancient
Greeks and Romans used to say,
Long may you live" and "Jupi-
ter preserve you" When a Hin
du sneezes those in the vicinity
merely say Live" and the sneez-
er replies, You, too" When a
Zulu sneezes he says, II am now
blessed. The ancestral spirit is
with me. Let me hasten and
praise it for it is that which
causes me to sneeZe."
Now there is nothing magical
about a sneeze, as far as we
know, in science. One sneezes
because of irritation Of the
nerve endings in the nose. That
irritation may be brought about
by the inhalation of irritating
gases like chlorine or sulfur di-
oxide, by irritating substances
like pepper or simply by the re-
action to the pollens of various
plants to which one may be
sensitive.
The ancients believe that
sneezing was the manifestation
of an evil spirit, attempting to
enter the body. and that the
person concerned was throwing
the evil spirit out.
There is an old legend to the
effect that it was once decreed
that every man living should
sneeze but once, and that in the
instant of his second sneeze his
soul should depart from his body.
Thus II was said that Jacob,
feeling himself about to sneeze
and die, wrestled a second time
and earnestly entreated the IA
vor of being excepted from this
decree. Since he was granted
this wish, he sneezed without
dying; whereupon it was ordered
that sneezing thereafter should
always be accompanied with
thanksgiving and wishes for the
preservation and prolongation of
life.
Early man soon realized that
the head was one of the most
important portions Of the body
and that, in the head, was the
substance that governed and
controlled the whole body. II
was necessary to recognize the
extraordinary action of the head
that takes place IN sneezing by
an appropriate wish for the pro-
longatioa of life.
Here Is a typical example Of
the development of a superstitu-
ton. Primitive man actually be-
ieved that there were spirits
that went in and out of the body.
To him sneezing was, therefore,
a matter Of utmost Importance.
Modern man. still influenced by
the supersttution, although he
knows better. continues TO fol-
low the customs and TO use the
actual phrases developed By
ignorance IN the past

against the Indiana crowd.
A McNutt emissary recently
submitted the challenge to one
Of Mr.. Morgenthau's subordinat-
es handling the matter. Pauls
ambassador pointed out that the
income tax insinuations were
handicapping his principals
campaign for the democratic
presidential nomination, and that
1t was only fair for the govern
ment to act one way or the other
without delay. What the Nc
Mutt people feared was that the
matter would be allowed to drag
until before or after the national
convention, thus keeping their
hero under a legal cloud.
The treasury staff immediate
ly staged feverish conferences
for two days to determine wheth-
er they had a case against Nc
Mutt or any of his close hackers
Frank McHale or Bowman
Elder. The official decision is
still a mystery, but there should
be a showdown on this cause
celebre within a few days. Bet
ting is even that Paurs political
organization will be singed but
not slaughtered. Anyway, his
enemies figure that the damage
to his candidacy has already
been done.
American airplane manufac-
turers, aided by army-navy ex-
perts, were responsible for kill
ing the scheme under which the
British mission would have
brought only three types of
American planes. The idea was
originally sold to the foreigners
by Capt. H. E. Collins of the
treasury procurement depart
ment and Glenn Martin.
Under their plan the British
would have concentrated on the
purchase of the Curtiss pursuit
ship, the Martin light bomber
and the Douglas attack bomber.
Those three companies would
have SKINNED the cream of
foreign orders. Ten rival firms
would have been reduced to
making parts or accessories, or
they would have become SUBJ
contractors for the three favor
ed corporations. They would
have had to break up their staffs
of engineers and experts, and
the American airplane industry
would have suffered. Moreover,
it would have meant a tremend-
GUS expansion of the Curtiss,
Martin and Douglas plants, and
therefore a more violent social,
labor and economic dislocation
when the boom blew up.
Hard-boiled army and navy
men impressed this fact upon

P USE OF

by John Xix
WAR IN FINLAND

Editor, The Times: An honest,
intelligent juror has both sides
of a case before he decides. Hav-
ing read the letters of Mr.. Rog-
ers and Mr.. Pearsall pertaining
to the war between Finland and
Russia, it is obvious that Mr..
Rogers reads both sides.
There is an evident war propa-
ganda building psychology of
unChristian hate in order to lead
this country into fascist capt.
talistic alliance to overthrow the
farmers and workers government
of Russia by military force.
While propagandists denounce
Stain as butcher" please per-
init quotations from a Swedish
newspaper, my Dag"
THE situation in White Fin
land reminds US more and more
of 1918. Thousands of workers
have been arrested and hundreds
have been shot. Arrests are be-
ing made continuously. The Fin
nish White Guard authorities,
without any investigation or trial,
arrest and shoot peaceful in
habitants suspected of sympa-
thizing with the peoples govern
ment of Russia"
Following also il a quotation
from a Norwegian newspaper,
"Arbeideren," pertaining to Fin
nish refugees from Mannerheim
tyranny:
THE refugees relate that the
Finnish White Guard authorities
recently arrested and shot q
large group of Finnish soldiers,
the official reason for the arrest
and shooting said to be the dis
covery Of spying organizations.
In other words, many of the
Finnish soldiers have no desire
to participate in the war against
Russia. The leader of the group
was give gun and the privilege
of shooting himself. The other so,
including women, were shot"
As Americans, We should not
encourage fascist propaganda of
hate psychology.

AFTER MANY YEARS
By E. T. SHORT

One of the communities which
is profiting from the pea indus
try is Dayton. Though wheat is
still a major crop, the income
goes to a comparatively limited
number. The cannery is supple
menting the wheat income and
simplifying the living problem
for many families, partly because
of situation peculiar to that
locality. From the valley floor
the ground gradually rises to
the timber line. The first cam
merry crop is grown in the valley.
A couple of weeks later another
crop has matured on the next
elevation. This program con-
tinues until the last crop is har-
vested at the timber line several
weeks after the crop in other
parts of the state is over.

one-sixth of all the peas canned
in the United States. This year

Dr.. Whifman's Garden
Continues to Bloom
Land Cultivated by Early
Missionary Still Produces
Peas Increase Income
OF Wheat Country


ONE of the first develop
ments promoted by DR.. Mar
Gus Whitman when he establish
ed the historic mission near the
site of Fort Walla Walla about
a hundred years ago was to plant
a garden. He found the land not
difficult to clear and the soil
wonderfully fertile. Two crops
in particular, peas and water
melons, grew most prolifically.
The watermelons proved to be
an irresistible attraction to the
Indians, and though DR.. Whit
man was extremely generous
with them, they persistently
raided his garden at night.
DIR. Whitman told the Indians
that stolen food would make
them sick. Like many persons
today who disregard warnings,
the Indians continued to raid the
garden and DIR. Whitman had to
make good on his promise that
stolen food was bad food.
He did so by injecting n
strong physic into some of the
watermelons and the next day
there were many sick Indians.
DIR. Whitman made his point,
but the episode also served to
strengthen the resentment
against the whites which was
developing among the Indians
and IL was Indirectly one Of the
causes which brought about
the massacre Of the Whitman
party.
The watermelon episode hap
pened many years ago. but the
land all around the site of the
Whitman mission is still produc-
ing great crops. including water
melons and peas. The water
melons are of the finest quality
but it Is peas which supplement
the Walla Walla country wheat
and fruit crops and create q de-
mand for seasonable labor. All
through the Blue mountain coun-
try, which includes a part of
Southeastern Washington and
Northeastern Oregon. the pea
crop is assuming an increasing
Importance.
In 1882. when the depression
was bearing down heavily on the
Walla Walls country, one of the
national canning companies was
induced to try an experiment
with peas in that district. That
year the company packed $4,000
cases Of peas. A particular quail
ity Of ths product caught the
market.
The entire pack was quickly
sold and there was a demand
for more. The next year the
pack was increased. and in
1888. with the original cannery
supplemented by ak others,
the quantity was increased to
1.7lS.00o cases Of peas
This year the production viii
be still greater. The good earth
is again coming to the help of
groups OF people at their wits
end TO keep soul and body to-
gether.
