TWO JOBS

The action of the medical pro-
fession in voluntarily supplying
the armed forces with practically
the full quota of physicians re-
quested for 1912. has proved that
this country can still get few
things done without employment of
legislative force. Ernest Lindley,
Washington commentator. recently
complimented the doctors on the
success of their effort when he
said: "a few months ago the pros
pective shortage of physicians in
the Army was serious. The job of
overcoming this was undertaken by
the War Manpower Commission
with the cooperation of the Ameri-
can Medical Association A
roster of 10000 licensed physi-
clans was available from which to
draw the military quota of $4,000
for 1912. while preserving as far
as possible an even distribution of
medical care for the civilian popu-
lation. This recruitment is still in
process. With the year almost
three-fourths gone, five-sixths of
the quota has been filled"
Actually the performance of
medicine in meeting Army needs is
not surprising, in view of the his
tory of medical progress in the
United States. The health record
of our people shows that the medi-
cal men are in the habit of achiev-
ing results. Right now they are
setting to work on the problem of
civilian medical care. Unlike other
civilian activities. medical care for
those at home cannot be put on ice
for the duration. Nothing could
imperil the war effort more quickly
than a breakdown in our health
standards.
The doctors have two iobs-one
civil. the other military. Both jobs
must be done well, and will be
under the initiative of the Ameri-
can medical system.

Warn Farmers About
Tractors On Highway
CONTINUED from FIRST rass)

fendant when it developed thai
many farmers have been following
ehpractice of using their tractors
to haul various materials to or from
their farms, but at the same time
warned the defendant and others
that the law must be observed
strictly.
Williams cited the law, which
permits hauling use only as fol-
lows:
"A traction engine or tractor
shall, as hereinafter provided, be
allowed or permitted to have at
tached thereto and hauled over the
public streets, roads and highways
of the state any vehicle with metal
or pneumatic tires used for carry
ing water and fuel for the use of
said traction engine or tractor, road
graders, stone crushers, saw mills,
grain and seed threshers and other
agricultural machinery or equip
ment not self-propelled."
The motor vehicle head explain
ed that while tractors may be put to
any use On luC AaA AlAo5 IhCy NahhOl
haul anything other than that per-
mitted by the law on the roads, ex-
cepting across a highway which
may divide farm.
To use tractors for hauling any
material on the highways is sub
ject to a minimum fine of $25 and
costs.
Traction engines and farm trac-
tors are defined in the law as 'all
self-propelled engines equipped
with metal or pneumatic tired
wheels operated or propelled by
any form of engine motor or me-
chanical power, used primarily for
agricultural purposes, road grad
ing, and transporting the machin-
cry and appliances which, when at
rest, they operate with their own
power; and excluding engines
which move or are operated upon,
or are guided by track"
The law was passed at the 1941
session of the State Legislature.

Fruit Growers Get
Orchard Spray Notes
CONTINUED from First pagel

Hopperstead and Amos point out
that fall sprays for peach leaf curl
are highly recommended since wea-
ther conditions during the latter
part of the dormant season often
do not permit spring spray appli-
cations before the buds begin to
swell. In many instances unsatis-
factory control of peach leaf curl
has resulted because the sprays
have been applied too late. >,
The use of oil in fall dormant
spraying is not recommended for
either apples or peaches. Although
many growers have used oil at this
time in past seasons without harm,
experiments and experience indi-
cate that injury may result from it's
use.
Copies of the last letter of the
1912 Orchard Spray Notes may be
obtained from Russell E. Wilson,
Kent county agricultural agent,
whose Office is located in Dover.

HAVE A CARE. WHEN
YOU WANT TO KICK

1t is true that more than 5,O0O,1
900 civilian employees are in the,
service of the Federal and State
governments. That is why a few
brave statesmen charge that some
of the government agencies are
guilty of waste and inefficiency iR
boarding and pirating labor. Every
person who lives in the Capital City
knows that Washington has huns
dreds of thousands of persons on
the government payFolls who are
not needed, and twice as many new
buildings as there were in 19lS1
But no one kicks very hard, be-
cause of the universal fear that
some needed war programs might
be interrupted. Incidentally, Wash-i
ington folks are afraid of themzz
selves-afraid that, they may com5
plain, and find out later that they
should have cheered. Which all
means that Washington wiseacres
too often know too little about what
is actually happening-the Northi
African affair, for instance.

TAX STABBING OF
INDUSTRY REBUKED

Utah has given a decisive demon
stration of the declining trend in
state anti-chain store taxes. In the
recent elections the people of Utah
defeated by better than to 1 a
proposed special chain store tax,
which is an even greater defeat
than the chain opponents suffered
on similar issue at the hands of
California voters some years ago.
In this instance, the question
was presented frankly. Opponents
of the chains openly advocated the
tax as a measure designed to
freeze and control the number of
chain stores for the benefit of COM
petitors. The tax would have gone
as high as $4,000 per year for a
new chain store or one moved to a
new location. In time it would un-
questionably have wiped out all the
chains in Utah.
Utah state election laws pre-
vented the chains from contribut-
ing financially to the campaign. All
funds to fight the tax came from
employees, stockholders and other
citizens, including the three major
labor groups, A. F. of L., c. 1. o.,
and the Railroad Brotherhoods. Or
ganized agricultural and coopera-
tive groups also Joined the fight in
behalf of the chains.
The greatest jury in the country
the voters of sovereign state
after impartial consideration, have
condemned by a heavy majority,
discriminatory taxation. This
should prove an inspiration to citi-
zens of other states that have sim
liar laws on their statute books.
When the last punitive tax law has
been repealed. the cause of better
government and intelligent taxa
tion will have taken tremendous
forward step,

Whooping Cough Is
Dangerous To Tots

(continueo from FIrst PageJ
cough in this state, as many as
there were from the combined re-
suits of diphtheria, measles, scar
let fever and infantile paralysis.
Seven of these ten deaths were in
babies under 1 year.
Symptoms
Since whooping cough com :
mences with a running nose," a
symptom readily confused with an
ordinary cold, and since it is most
catching at this stage-hefore the
whOop ppears-parents are wise
to keep their babies and little folk
at home when there is any whoop-
ing cough in the area in which they
live. Whooping cough continues to
be contagious for at least weeks
after the spasms of coughing COM
mence.
A mother who suspects that her
child has whOoping cough should
put him to bed at once in a room
by himself and call the doctor, for
the doctor can do much to relieve
the child's discomfort and guard
against complications and serious
after-effects.
Care Of Pneumonia
Not only is whooping cough, it.
self, serious but there are frequent
ly such complications as broncho-
pneumonia which further endanger
the lives of small patients. Even
if there are no complications, the
whooping cough is long and wear
ing disease, for the childs strength
is severely taxed by the violent
coughing and the frequent vomit-
ing. Special care is needed to fos-
ter and restore his strength even
after the acute illness is past. Rest
S needed particularly. Careful
feeding is very important since
frequent vomiting leads to mal-nu-
triton. The Board of Health ad-
vises only simple nourishing foods
that are easily digested. If vomit-
ing is frequent and severe, small
amounts of food given often may
be easier to keep down than larger
meals three times a day. The doc
tor may wish to give special in
structions about diet. Precautions
should be taken to prevent chilling.
Guard against over-activity and
excitement which tend to exhaust
the child. Keep other folk away
from him, especially those with
colds.
Avoid Spreading Disease
Under no circumstances should a
child with whooping cough be
taken to the movies or any other
public gathering nor be allowed to
travel on any train or bus. Do not
allow child to return to school OF
to resume his usual activities until
the doctor considers it safe to do
so. Guard both your own child's
health and that of your neighbors'
children, urges the Board of Health.
