TO THE EDITOR:
MANY prominent people, in
A GLIDING a Washington news
paper correspondent, one self
styled rabble rousing radio COM
mentator, who aspires to be
elected from this state to a high
office in Washington, and many
others in and out OF Congress,
are doing a great job of confus-
ing the minds of the people in
regard TO our war effort.
They refer to our administra-
ton officials in Washington, both
political and military, as anna
tours, boondogglers, and-other
cheap phrases, used only by self
conferred. political office seekers
and their stooges, TO further
their ambitions or satisfy some
political prejudice.
They remind me OF the story
of a rooster that tried TO teach
some ducks to swim.
OF course, he did not know
how TO swim. So all he could
do was to stand on the bank
flap his wings and crow for
glory.

A few nights ago Crosby, via telephone

went to Santa Ana and gave show for the

100 miles across the salt beds to Wendover, site
of a bomber base. We put a show there.

around IL, the boys didn't move. Hope asked
the chaplain in charge what to do next. The
chaplain explained that the soldiers had moth

ter do the show again. We did.
Hope, tired he could scarcely move now,
drove back to Salt Lake City I'm the early morn

his studio the next morning. He does this sort
of thing nearly every weekend"
Between them there is no telling how many
bonds Bing and Bob have sold or how many
laughs they have handed out to soldiers.

that is just what it is. say again, do not

It's about time!
By the records Of Civil Service Director Thomas j.
Wilson in the first months of 1912 the state lost
$50 of its 252 employees in II clerical and other lower

of civilian defense within the area.
This was made clear when County supervisor VIII
liam Won Mol revealed that Wayne County has spent

tee the riant war factories One million dollars has been
spent by the City of Detroit
Neither the citizens of Detroit nor those OF surround
ing areas wish TO shirk the cost of this But 1t is
not their PRIVATE war The Detroit industrial area is
making munitions for the entire nation to fight against
its enemies and the safety of each munitions plant is vital
TO all the people of the United States.
THEREFORE, IT is only reasonable that the State OF

greatly as possible with civilian defense funds
The state administration has made start This
week the administrative board raised to 1884 $40 its APP

fire protection of Detroit industrial plants to be delivered
in November.
Other moneys have been expended to aid in install

Mysterious to Doctors
as Rubber Elasticity
BY DIR. LOGAN CLENDENING

DAM has been called, as re-
= Gently as 1889. by a great
surgeon-"a state of mind"
1t would be pretty hard to
sell that idea to a person with
kidney stone collie or govt.
I am afraid 1 do not
agree, no matter how great the
surgeon is.
I admit I do not know the
ultimate cause of pain. Oh, I
know il is an irritation Of the
nerves, but why does a person
have pain when he runs a silver
in his finger and have no pain
with a massive cancer of the
stomach?
Pain is a mystery to doctors,
just as the elasticity of rubber
is a mystery TO physicists.
DAM as a symptom. though,
- we know a good deal about.
and we know il never should be
passed over lightly.
Growing palms, for instance,
Is a term too often used TO

mothers explained it as teeth
ing pains" or "teething disease"
Teething does not cause pain,
bad health or fever. If fever
occurs during teething it is due
to something else.
Although Doctor Abels found
the curious fact that fever
hastens teething.
/ REALIZE that in many cases
il is impossible to find a cause

The same Doctor Abels
aScribes them TO a low vitamin
intake.
But then, name something
that is not ascribed to low
vitamin intake. But every case
of growing pains should be
thoroughly investigated.
l suppose the commonest OF
all pains are those vague dis
comforts in muscles. ligaments,
tendons and joints which hardly
are severe enough 10 call pains.
II is easy 10 dismiss them and
tag them with name which at
least satisfies your conscience
for a while.
But only too often that name
masks some more serious con-
dition.
CT UMBAGO," for instance.
~ What does lumbago mean +?
Well, il means literally a pain
in the large lumbar muscles of
the back.
But the term may mask a
serious disease of the bones of
the spine, or a disease of the
kidneys, or a nervous disease.
True. most of the cases are
due to little deposits of infec-
ton in the muscles and tendons
of the lumbar region of the
back and the best treatment
is TO get your wife or husband,
or if you are so unfortunate as
not TO possess such a commodity,
get the corner grocer to put a
piece of flannel on the sore spot
and rub over it with a hot iron.
The back. the stomach and
the head are the things that
ache the eftehest.. Maybe pain
is state of mind after all.
