Rev. ,. F. DOunelly lieve that Ire- land has both the right and the ability to judge her own case.
 It seems strange, too, that even MT. Williams should not remember that Plus XII laid down the princi- ples which should properly guide our attitude toward Ireland's stand for neutrality. When he stated the five essentials of new order in his Christmas message of 1941 the Holy Father made the first es- Sential the duty of powerful states ito respect the right of those smaller states to political freedom Ito economic development and tc 8adequate protection, 4r1 case of con- IIhicts between nations, of that neu- trality which is theirs according tc natural, as well as international law" When the Holy Father speaks of rights and justice and the law of God Catholics usually follow his teachings
 EVIL PROPAGANDA
 There is growing evidence of g deliberate campagn being conducted n our country for the purpose of ieceiving Americans on 1reland't good faith in the present war. Per- maps the most powerful agent ot hat campaign is the Irish Amer lean Defense association, an organi- zation which seems to be sponsored for the most part by group ol political appointees who are reputet to have Irish ancestry.
 Long ago we read the reports oi German submarines receiving fuel and supplies on the West Coast oi Ireland. At the time, Mir. de Valera declared the reports to be untrue and that "a most extensive system of coast observation has been estab. hshed to prevent just that possibil- ity," and he added that "the state. ment is known to be a falsehood by the British government" Yet shortly after Mfr. de Valera's unequivoca denial the World Telegram in New York stated editorially that Ire. land has not the facilities to for bid the use of her western harbori as nests from which U-boats may spring at British conveys"
 We heard, too, the reports of thC excessive size of the German lega- ion in Dublin. But we heard little of the denials similar to that pub lished by the London Times assert. Ing that: Many wild statementi have been made in Great Britair concerning the size and influenct of the German Legation in Dublin Actually it has not more than hal 3 dozen men with two or three women typists. Its behaviour ha! been uniformly correct and stories of its activities as a vast center o! espionage are without foundation. IRKLAND's ATTITUDE
 The popular calumny hurled a Hreland's stand in the war is tha which charges that Ireland's polio. is dictated by hatred of England that she is nursing her grievances But England, with the exception O he ports, has no reason to complain

ment the administration of ephe-
drine, which raised blood pressure,
controlled the attacks.
The formula for the general
body reaction to sudden cold is
"a. r. S." (anoxia, reduction,
sugar increase). Cold closes the
superficial blood vessels, raising
blood pressure and it rearranges
the endocrinc sccretions, causing
feeling of stimulation and ac-
tually affecting sugar mctabc-
lism.
Reaction to Heat
The reaction to heat is &c. O.V."

tion). The superficial blood YES

acidity, the basal metabolism is
increased the potassium-calcium
ratio is diminished, dchydration
occurs with a consequent feeling
of let-downncss and fatigue.
These are the temporary reac-
tons to sharp changes. After a
hot or cold spell is established, the
body adjusts itself and discomfort
disappears.

remedy that will relieve the spells
of bronchial asthma? Is there a
difference between bronchial asth.
ma and chronic bronchitis?
Answer: Bronchial asthma is
usually due 20 scnsitivity (al-
lergy) to plant pollens, sometimes
to animals-espccially rabbits and
cats and horses-or to certain
foods or house dust. If you can
find out what you are sensitive to
and eliminate it, your asthma will
be improved. Sometimes the
asthma is due to chronic infection
from sinus disease. Chronic bron-
chitis often produces Wheeling like
asthmatic Wheeling. but the two
conditions are not essentially alike.

600 new residents-would be about
$32,000,000. On the money saving
side, it is estimated that the cost of
land, reconditioning and site i'm
provement would be less than 60
per cent of the cost of equivalent
land, new construction and site i'm
provement elsewhere in Washing
ton. The cost of reconditioning per
room, including land or site acquisi-
ton is placed at $793 per room as
compared to 81 $50 per room for new
public housing recently completed
here. The new apartments would
be erected on the interiors of blocks
where the land acquisition cost
would be only $50 per room. This
would make total cost of the new
apartments far lower than if they
were built in other sections. This
low land cost of interior block
projects, which compares to cost
of S257.65 per room on adjacent
public housing, is because District
law prohibits alley dwelling after
July l, 1914. Redevelopment of blocks
under the new program would, of
course, comply with the law.
Displacement of persons residing
in Southwest Washington while the
work is carried out is one of the
great problems presented by the
program. The plan suggests that
the new apartments on the interior
of blocks be started first. When

Coal Tar Found
Better Than Sand
For Bomb Fires
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Discovery Of a new and effective
method of extinguishing magnesium
fire bombs with hard coal tar was
announced today by the Bureau of
Mines.
Director r. r. Sayers said bureau
experts had found that when the
tar, in granulated or faxed form, is
thrown on a bomb Of this type 1t
quickly forms an air-tight blanket
which smothers the flame.
This methaod, Mr.. Sayers said, is
superior to the use OF sand and
water.
The hard coal tar, sometimes
called "fuel pitch" can be obtained
through commercial firms at rea-
sonable cost. Mr.. Sayers said. The
granulated or faxed form is neces-
sary because a powdered pitch has
explosive characteristics.
