MR.. MORGENTHAU con-
III demned himself with his

pun ~ al AA1iAAlNt AAbAAs
MR.. MORGENTHAU con-
w demned himself with has
own argument. The proposition
he offered was simply this:
The people have $4,000, OOO,-
600 Of excess spending money.
This causes a dangerous threat
OF initiation. We need TO tax 1t
INTO the treasury
Then, almost in the next
breath, he said "four-ffths of
this dangerous excess is IN the
hands of people earning less
than $1,000 a year chat is,
they earn r-fifths of the cur
rent national war income).
Two breaths later, he pro-
posed tax increases not so large
on this class as on all other
tax sources. Indeed. his plan
would have eliminated some of
the smallest taxpayers entirely
In short, he argued for one
thing and then proposed an
other.
Any commentator must be
driven TO the conclusion that
the plan was proposed largely
for political purposes The
treasury knew well that people
do not understand and analyze
such matters thoroughly, but
figure only how the taxes might
hit them personally
Thus this scheme had the
benefit of popular appeal,
even though this appeal wore
thin in the face of the prospect
that Congress would not enact
it, as the treasury we'll knew
when the proposal was SUBJ
mitted.
ENEN so, as previously out
- lined in this spot, the in
come tax burden is already so
heavy on all groups as to fur
niSh a proper excuse for the
rejection of the plan, and il was
the only one which the House
committeeman offered in pub
lie.
This left the tax question in
even more of an impenetrable
quandry than had been eX-
pected. What TO do?
Congressional lawmakers no
doubt will develop some idea of
their own. but there is hardly
a chance that any strong group
in Congress will pick up Mr..
Morgenthau's facts and 60
after those whom he says are
making four-flfths of the in
come.
In truth, the great bulk Of
wartime increases is going 10
what was formally the lowest
income groups. The incomes
that have doubled and trebled
are those of certain war work.
ers. the lowest skilled and I'M
skilled labor, the carpenter.
etc, and special groups of
labor.
THERE is one way, only one,
L by which these swollen war
incomes could be tapped. The
people who have the money are
spending it. A sales tax would
certainly reach them.
II is not a tax on a class or a
group, however. hut on every
one II would also hit 10 some
extent those whose incomes
have not been increased much.
As related in this spot so
often, nearly every one in poll
tics is afraid of the idea. Only
two committeeman spoke out
for it al the Morgenthau ses-
sion. There will be more but
not enough to cause its adop-
ton.

Better Health

WITHIN the last two years
W there has been an epidemic
of conjunctiVitiS, or pink eye,
which has gone from one end to
the other of the United States

lent in industrial plants, particu-
larry those devoted TO war IN
duStry.
The SymptomatoloGy. course
and features indicate that II Is
not like any other form of pink
eye with which oculiSts and gen
eral practitioners in medicine
have been familiar for many
years
II is highly contagious from
person to person, which alone
renders 1t different from most
forms of conjunctivitiS, which
are only mildly or moderately
contagious.
MOST Of its manifestations are
A'l also more serious than those
of previously known forms.
1t usually begins with low
fever and general fatigue and
aching Of the bones.
The eye at first feels AS IL
dust. or a cinder, or some other
foreign body has gotten under
the eyelid.
One eye is usually affected
first, although in most cases the
other eye becomes infected
within five TO eight days.
The eyelids swell and the
white of the eye looks very red.
although no puS is usually
formed.
Sometimes there are little
membranes which, if removed,
leave small bleeding points.
The patient is sensitive 10
light and has to have the eyes
closed with cotton pad or
bandage on them, and these have

Of the dammlng back of tears
and other SccrctionS.
IN VERY severe cases the eye
i ball over the pupil tthe cor
nea) becomes infected and IN
few cases some scar tissue re-
mains after the disease has sub
sided. but this is rare.
The condition runs a self-lin-
tied course TO full recovery in
from Ia TO Is days.
This occurs more or less with
out respect TO whatever treat
mCnt is used
The condition. as we have
said, is very contagious and runs
from person to person in. a plant
or a neighborhood
The incubation period is from
5 TO 10 days; this is usually de-
termined in plants where one
individual IS the source of the
spread of the infection 10 others.

would CorinIhlan column be

WHAT drainage system can
w be employed TO keep the
gravy from running between the

ing loaded with other edibles?
is Gothic mound of food
more appropriate in dining

would be a mound of Georgian

The American soldier is not

Pink Eye
by Dr. Logan Clendenine

THE person who has this form
u of pink eye is contagious and
capable of spreading the condi-
ton TO others from the time he
begins to be uncomfortable.
AS soon as the acute symp-
toms have disappeared. he IS
probably no longer source Of
infection.
No germ has been discovered
AS yet in the secretions, Al
though undoubtedly 1t is some
kind of germ disease
Treatment is palliative dur
ing the acute stage and the eyes
should be kept clean with lrft-
cations of boric acid or physlo-
logical salt solution.
Local anesthetics have been
used 10 control the discomfort
and the irritating effect OF llgnt.
Under prevention, il is very
~ important in any industrial
plant that any individual with A
red eye should he stopped at the
entrance of the plant and sent
to the plant physician to de-
termine whether or pot tins
form of conjunctivitiS IS present.
In some larger plarps work
ers on duty are regularly M
spected and any one with red
or infamed eyes is sent to the
medical office for examination.
Anybody who treats such
case should be extremely careful
that all instruments are Steri-
lized between the times they are
