STATE RIGHTS

By Supreme Court edict, the
states are virtually without power
TO enact alien control laws.
The court. IN striking down a
Pennsylvania statute requiring an
nual registration Of all foreign-born
IN It's Jurisdiction, placed such
stringent restrictions on legislation
OF that type that approval OF the
federal government appears TO be
essential TO the validity Of any kin
dred statute.
The court holds that Congress, by
~enacting the Federal Alien Registra-
ton Act OF 1910. has taken over the
job OF regulating the activities of
aliens throughout the country.
Estates cannot, in consistency
with the purpose Of Congress, con
flict or interfere with, curtail or
complement. the federal law, or en-
force additional or auxiliary regu-
lations," says Justice Hugo l..
Black. writer OF the opinion OF the
majority.
Justice Harlan F. Stone wrote a
vigorous dissent in which Chief
Justice Charles Evans Hughes and
Justice James c. McReynolds con.
Cured. They held that Congress did
not act TO the exclusion OF the
states.
While the court holds that the
Pennsylvania law cannot be en-
forced" it does not absolutely ex.
clude all state legislation oil the
subject nor say that matters relat-
ing TO aliens are solely within the
authority OF the federal govern
ment, to the exclusion of the states.
Many phrases in the opinion
make 1t appear possible that state
laws consistent with the congress.
sional purpose may be valid. And
while the court expressly declines
to rule or the question, these pas
sages seemed 10 intimate hal in
the absence of a federal law the
states would have power to adopt
some types OF rational" alien con
troll laws.
Foundation for the courts ruling
IS the theory that the control OF
the nations OF another country is
a matter over which the federal
government has authority superior
TO states. Consequently, where the
United States has exercised def
mite authority, any conflicting state
must yield.

showed extensive sinus disease

X-ray. The child vas quite anemic
and evidently the infection had AZ
fected his health considerably.
Clean Out Infection
The case, as | have outlined it,
indicates proper method Of exami-
nation to determine sinus disease
and also how broad the problem
is. In treating this child you could
hardly expect success if you paid
attention to the nose alone, but
should treat the entire condition,
including the asthma, anemia and
general state of health.
OF course, the first considera-
ton in treatment is to attempt to
clean out the infection in the nose.
This was done with reasonable
success in this patient with a
relief Of the asthmatic symptoms.
! do not know whether the OPP
erative treatment of sinus dis
ease in children is more success
full than in adults. l think it is fair
to state that we can never expect
100 per cent good results from the
operative treatment of sinus dis
ease.
Lung Complications
! have long been impressed with
the fact that the most serious COM
plication Of sinus disease is
asthma or chronic bronchitis. This
may be due to sensitization Of the
patient with his own nasal bac-
terra but, in my opinion, more Of
ten results from the continuous
dropping Of infectious material
from the nose, past the CLOTHS, into
the bronchial tubes. In my expert
ence, this is a long drawn-out
process and may well begin in
childhood with sinus infection at
that period of life. All the more
reason, therefore, for early dag
nosis and treatment at the stage
where it a be successful.
say this with emphasis because
the lung complications of chronic
sinus trouble once established are
very resistent to treatment. The
asthma which results from this is
the worst form of asthma. Many
people later in life are invalids on
account of chronic infection Of the
bronchial tubes with absorption of
toxic material constantly going on,
coughing and expectoration. They
are always thin, have no appetite,
are subject TO drafts, and cold
weather makes them very uncom-
Portable and they, as the saying
is, "catch cold" repeatedly and
very easily.
Treatment Of these cases is best
accomplished by removing them to
a mild climate and by postrral
drainage, which is lying with the
head down so that the infectious
material will drain out. This
should be done two or three times
a day.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
P. J. M.:-"Will smoking Gig
arettes make me hard of hearing
if the hearing is already slightly
impaired ?"
Answer-Cigarettes have no d.
rect effect upon hearing. By caus-
ing congestion and irritation of
the throat they may block up the
opening of the Eustachian tube,
which aggravates the condition
slightly.

made him only the more lovable.
He enjoyed preaching with every
fiber of his body. He enjoyed his
ministerial duties. And he espec-
tally enjoyed his work when his
flock was up in arms. For then
he knew that his parishioners were
taking the church seriously enough
to fight about it, and he made an
opportunity to exercise his bent for
getting people to do what he want
ed without their knowing it.
He was forever getting himself
in and out of hot water. IF there
was a feud in the Women's Guild,
he had to make peace without ap-
pearing to take sides. If the par
sonage roof leaked-as 1t generally
did-he had to engage in the most
complicated political maneuvers to
get 1t fixed. And on one occasion,
when a disgruntled parishioner
started a rumor that his son, Hart
zell, had got loval girl "in troub-
le," the Parson had to develop the
skill Of a super-sleuth to track
the story to its source.
There are a hundred and one
hilarious stories Of the Parsons
predicament and his ingenious
means of getting out of them. But
the glory Of his triumphs was sell
dom solely his; for Mother had
her ways Of getting people to do
what she wanted. While the Par
son would eloquently explain a sit
uation to her, she would carefully
slip in a word or two-and at the
same time get him to help her hang
up the weeks without
his ever realizing what had hap
pened.
The Parson thought himself first
minister and only second family
man, but you'll agree with his son
that he was the best husband and
father a wife and three boisterous
youngsters ever had. He ruled with
an iron hand; but he was as pleas
ed as his children when the Dis
cipline decided that the movies, and
