Mr.. Landon also sharply criticized
President Roosevelt for what he
called systematic attempts" to
weaken the influence of Senator
Wheeler, Democrat. of Montana, a
leading opponent of the bill.
A development outside the COM
mittee room yesterday was the
transmittal of a letter by Senator
Wheeler to Secretary of War Stim-
son, adding another chapter to the
controversy over the present con-
dition of American air forces.
The Secretary had been quoted
as saying Senator Wheeler was un-
fair in a recent statement that the
Army had only 639 planes on
January /.
In last nights letter Senator
Wheeler repeated the figures he
said had come from a reliable
source, and told the Secretary, Il
feel that you, as Secretary of War,
should not be party to miSlead-
ing the American people into
believing that this Nation is so
well armed that we can afford to
strip it completely of what few
planes we have"
Says England Won't Lose.
Shortly before the Foreign Rela-
tionS Committee recessed yesterday
evening, Mr.. Reynolds, who will
return to the war zone soon, de-
clared:
Il know that the people of Eng
land are waiting for the invasion
they feel is coming. I know that
they await the outcome of that in
vasion with every confidence, con-
fidence that is we'll justified. I
know England cannot and will not
lose this war This is not an opinion.
1t is a conviction based on fact.
l know that they need our help to
insure decisive victory and know
that we could help them to this
final victory without ever sending
one man across the ocean"
Mr.. Reynolds said the facts as he
knows them do not bear out the
impression that England is on the
brink of annihilation." He also
said his information does not bear
out the view of some people here
that there is no possibility of the
United States being invaded by Ger
many.
Commenting on the views of other
American correspondents abroad,
Mr.. Reynolds said: They think as
do that we have given England
all support-short of help"

stand Senator Clark served notice

By the Associated Press

Ambassador, expressed hope after a

by March Is bread will be very
scarce If not totally absent" in

was greater because of the necessity
of feeding $500, 900 foreign refugees

Tick Bite Fever Is
Again In Maryland
Five Cases Reported During
May With Two Resultant
Deaths

Five cases of Rocky Mountain spot
ted fever-tick- fever-were re-
ported to the State Department of
Health from widely separated parts
of Maryland during May. There were
two deaths from the disease.
The reappearance of the disease
which is caused by the bite of infect
ed ticks-brings reminder from DR..
R. H. Riley, Director of the State De-
partment of Health, of precautions
that should be followed by all whose
work or pleasure takes them into tick
infested areas.
fortunately" DR.. Riley said, mot
all ticks are infected, but it is better
to regard all of them as potential
sources of danger, and to act accord
ingly.
"Any ticks found on the body
should be removed as soon as posi-
Bile.
"The American dog tick that fast
ems itself to horses, dogs and cattle
as we'll as to human beings, is gener-
ally responsible for tick-bite fever in
this part of the country.
"The disease is contracted through
the bite of the infected insects; or by
crushing the insects and absorbing
the infectious material into the sys-
TEN through a scratch, or open cut,
or break in the skin. The disease does
not spread from person to person.
every great care should be taken
not to crush out any of the infectious
material on the hands in removing the
ticks from any part of the body, or in
taking them off of dogs or horses or
cattle.
"If the insect is deeply embedded,
use small forceps or protect the fling
ers with bit of paper or cotton.
Swab the place from which the tick
was withdrawn with iodine. Dip the
fingers and forceps in alcohol after
wards, and wash the hands thorough
w with soap and water. A drop of
crude oil or motor oil may be of help
in withdrawing ticks from dogs or
cattle.
"a careful inspection of the whole
body and of the clothing should be
made twice day if you are employed
in a tick-infested area, or are pic
nicking or camping. Children who
play in uncleared lands should be
given particular attention. Children
are likely to be bitten back of the
ears, on the neck, or on the head
under the hair. Don't overlook any of
these hiding places in your inspec-
tions.
"Undergrowth and weeds should be
cut out along paths leading to bath
ing pools and shores in tick infested
areas. Spray the trails around the
settlement with creosote oil. Remove
or burn debris.
"In its early stages tick-bite fever
may be confused with influenza,
measles, meningitis, typhoid, or ty-
phus fever. On that account a doctor
should be called promptly if SUSPECT
Gus symptoms develop after person
has been exposed to ticks. Laboratory
tests are of value in confirming the
diagnosis"

Always spreading cheer, though her
heart was often heavy, she was able
to smile through it all, in spite of her
own sorrows and Affections.
Through her kindness and sweet

spent, but wherever she had lived or
visited
