MOVEMENT OF PARALYZED
LIMBS

The basic idea of the Kenny
treatment is movement of the
paralyzed limbs as soon as pos
sible. Heretofore the idea was
to keep the patient entirely
quiet, in fact practically in a
plaster cast or its equivalent
until the acute stage has passed.
Miss Kenny's idea was that
this immobilization was wrong
and the muscles should be
started early on the way to re-
education. She originated her
treatment in the Australian
bush without much previous
knowledge of the disease and

TREATMENT GIVEN TRIAL

A fresh idea about the treat
ment of infantile paralysis
comes from an Australian nurse,
Elizabeth Kenny. She has been
allowed TO carry out her treat
ment at the Minneapolis General
and University Hospital under
the supervision of competent
physicians.
Twenty received the Kenny
treatment within two weeks
after the onset Of the disease.
Eleven have already been dis
charged completely cured The
average hospital stay Of these
patients was 36 days. One
patient has not responded fully.
Seven of the rest are progress
ing satisfactorily, although il rs
not known yet how complete
their recovery will be. For the
others il is still too early to
make predictions.

She noticed that when one
group of muscles in a leg were

Spasm and this spasm caused
them a great deal of damage
and furthermore interfercd with
circulation Her method exer-
cises the muscles from almost
the first onset Of symptoms. No
splints or casts are used. Hot
packs are used on the affected
muscles.
Infantile paralysis, as doctors
know is not as hopeless a
disease as the public thinks il
IS. The muscles which are
paralyzed al first often recover
completely, Nearly every case
gets better than it was at first.
The question has been when TO

BRANDED PUBLICITY

con this latter occasion, ac-
cording TO the Associated Press,
he referred to engineered pub
Iicity stunts and asserted there
are no war issues In the United
States today
Both statements are palpably
absurd. Neither ] nor the So
ciaIist Party or any group To
which I belong has engineered
any OF these proposed debates.
These invitations came 10 me
upnsolicited.
THAT there are war issues Is
known 10 every school boy. On
the very day that the papers
were carrying Mr.. WILKES
statement. senator Wheeler on
the floor of the Senate was d.
rectly charging him with war
mongering and quoting his cam
paign statement. a vote for
Roosevelt and the third term
means war. \ vote for Willkle
means peace and defense
POOLING THE PEOPLE
at il clear that when the
great advocate Of public debate
before election thus avoids de-
bate In front OF his townsmen
Of issues which are stirring great
debate In Congress, he has be-
come part of that open or tacit
conspiracy of administration
spokesmen and other leading In
teryentiOnists to fool the Ameri-
can people into total war and to
that end substitute the appeal
To hysteria for the appeal to
reason.
"Mr. WILKES excuses suggest
that he il afraid OF his own case.
For my part as contribution
TO the right sort OF Americanism,
i am ready to debate him al any
time under any auspices that
will guarantee a fair and proper
presentation OF issues that con-
Germ the very life OF our coun-
try"

THE RUN-AROUND

There are any number of build ing projects which could be handled out of ten, they don't get the jobs. All the paths in Washington are greased to give the little fellows the run-around as speedily and noise lessly as possible. Officials are so skilled in this that they do it auto firms have frozen out practically matically.
 Here, for instance, is the actual story of small contractor and what happened to him. play by play, in trying to get a Government con- tract. Everything printed below is factual except the name. If the name was published, this contractor wouldn't even get in the door.
 John Dawson" is Vice-President of a general contracting company with offices in New York, has ham, dled jobs as big as 2h millions ir the past, but is not hig enough te have a representative in Washing ton. So Dawson came to Washing ton himself. asked officials whether he ought to retain a representative who could help him bid on projects

THE "yICE.PREsIDENT.

Meanwhile. from friendly source in the Army Engineers he got a tip that new Air Corps project was to be built in New York State. So Dawson hustled over to Rome, N. Y, to put in bid.
 Sorry. my friend" he was told on arrival, but you're about a month late"
 Another contractor had just been brought into the picture and the job was assigned, although no an- nouncement had been given until a few days before.
 Dawson was defeated in Washing ton, lost time in Georgia, and missed contract in New York. Now he was back in Washington to start the unhappy merry-go-round all over again. But meanwhile bright light came to Dawson. He decided to get local agent.
 However, contractors are obliged to take an oath that they employ no agents. But he had heard of 8 neat scheme whereby an agent was given title in the company. per- haps of vice-president. Then the agent or "vice-president" is paid $500 a month. and if he lands con

tracts he gets additional pay amounting to ten per cent. ~
 John Dawson sat in his shirt sleeves in a hot hotel room, his head in his hands. It was typical summer weather in the nations Capital, and he thought of his family on the coast of Maine. So far he had spent three months knocking on Govern ment doors and cooling his heels in ante-rooms.
 Finally Dawson decided: T don't like this lobbying business. But other people are doing it and sign ing the contracts. So I'm going to employ a lobbyist myself. When you're in Rome, do as the Romans do.'"

No indeed" he was told. You need nobody here. We don't want to deal with agents. Just write us a letter to say what kind of work you've done and we'll get in touch with you"
 Dawson thought he could do even better than writing a letter, so he prepared display book with photo graphs of works his company had done, together with the records of his engineers. It was a most im- pressive booklet, and on May he filed copies with the Navy. Army Engineers. Public Building Admin istration and National Defense Ad- visory Commission.
 Then he waited But nothing hap pened. After a month he came to Washington again. Going to the Navy first, he told Commander Spalding that he would like to dis cuss his companys fitness to handle contracts.
 Sorry but can't discuss it." re- piled Commander Spalding. My hands are tied" And he produced letter from the Secretary of the Navy saying there could be no dis cussion of future projects because it might reveal their location and character to the enemy.

ALASKAN NEWSPRINT?

First copies of Australian newspapers have re- gently arrived in New York printed paper pro- duced in the new Tasmanian plant of the Australian Newsprint Mills.
 Financed by the newspapers of the continent down under" the new plant produces print, t- tie darker than the newsprint from U. S. and Cana dian mills, and processed from swamp gum, giant native tree of Tasmania mixed with Canadian sul- phite.
 Because newsprint imported from Canada was costing the Australian publishers around $100 ton the Tasmanian mill, owned comparatively by the publishers is probably destined to pay real dividends in lower cost for the raw material of which news papers made. The plant now has capacity of 27O0O tons of paper year. about one fourth of the requirements of Australian newspapers. Eventually it is expected to turn out 108,0O0 tons annually.
 We-Alaska has a newsprint industry stand ing along the shores of the Inside Passage, await ing development which would furnish half f-million tons of high grade newsprint year. And if the forest lands from which the paper may be made are managed outlined by the Forest Service, mills could turn out that half f-mllion tons of paper a year in perpetuty. or long as the mills to operate
 Alaskas potential newsprint industry lies in two regions. In both sections, timber stands are made up of about 75 percent western hemlock 20 percent Sitka spruce and five percent western red cedar and Alaska cedar Paper makers know that pulp mix ture of 80 percent hemock sweetened with 20 spruce, makes superior grade of newsprint
 Knowledge of the potential newsprint possibilities in Southeast Alaska is nothing new, so you may be perfectly in order in asking why bring the sub ject up right
 One of those potential paper making forests stands along the shoreland around Ketchikan The other, and largest, holding of timber suitable for paper making is on Admiralty Island. near Juneau
 And that's why we bring the subject up right now. Secretary of the Interior Harold Ickes has been making recent overures in the direction of Ad miralty Island with the proposed purpose of con- verting it into national park, When Secretary Ickes names national park, all industrial develop ment possibilities in that area cease to exist Just ask the people of the Olympic Peninsula in the State of Washington, where formation of a nationa park sewed up valuable oil mineral and forest re- sources which were scheduled for development in the future
 Alaskans have already had real evidence that their pulp timber is eyed by paper making interests with the serious intention of starting newsprnt mills in the two areas mentioned, as soon as busi- ness conditions justify the huge expenditures neces- sary for building and equipping modern pulp and paper mills
 In 1927, the Forest Service advertised for com
