THESE DAYS

T'HE other day, I wrote a pro-
l. test against Russia's enslave-
ment Of the Germans and nat
urally there were complaints
from two groups: from those
who hate Germans and from
those whose education is de-
rived from the table conversa-
tion at Lindy's and the Stork
Club. two universities that have
yet to produce prophet or a
philosopher.
HT OOk" they said, "he
~ weeps over Germany"
and should one not weep over
Germany which despoiled itself
in a mass suicide that has
turned one of the loveliest
countries into a desert of rub
BILE?
Should one not be sorry for
decent folk who debased them
selves into a fanatical horde
under a depraved leadership?
Yet. il was not Germany that
worried me as much as slavery.
Can il matter who is the slave
or who does the enslaving?
Slavery is always. under all
circumstances. immoral.
Accepting that as standard,
we can proceed politically and
economically 10 punish the Ger
mans.
If we reject that moral cri-
terion, we can only punish our
selves by failing TO resist our
own degradation.
uOW wonderfully clear is the
H mind of the moral man.
l look at the picture Of man
SO years old who has lost his
son.
That son, a major general in
our army. is ruthlessly shot by
a German while being taken
prisoner.
The father has lived TO see
his son a major general, an hon
ored person: he now reads OF
his sons heroic death.
Shall he be angry? Shall he
be bitter? Shall he call for
hate and vengeance
Not this father! In the
ancient traditions Of his people,
in the noble philosophy of Hillel,
this old man, father of Maj.
Gen. Maurice Rose, spoke in the
language of Micah, ito do Justly
and TO love mercy. and to walk
humbly with thy God.
I EFT US repeat the words of
- Rabbi Samuel Rose on the
news of the death of his son,
shot by German while being
taken prisoner OF war. Let us
think of those words as the
prayer of Cody man at the

INFLAMMATION Of vein is
i known as phlebi,ls. Accord
ing TO Or. Otto Meyer of New
York, phlebitis may occur after
almost any type Of injury 10 the
leg. When a person Injuries his
leg, the inflammation Of the
tissues which occurs is helpful
in healing the. injury; at the
same time, however. II may af-
feet nearby veins, producing
phlebitis. The invasion OF germs
into the inflamed veins may
result in infection which may
persist for n long time after
the original injury has healed.
DIR. Meyer believes such lnfec-
ton is the explanation for the
phlebitis which so frequently
occurs following broken bones.
-sprdInS and even minor cuts or
bruises on the legs. II also eX-
plains the fact that athletes.
who otherwise may be the most
healthy and active members Of
the population, often suffer
from phlebitis.
TN PREVENTING or treating
L phlebitis which develops fol-
lowing sprained ankles, DR..
Meyers uses a special type Of
elastic bandage. The patient lies
on a fiat table and the leg is
covered loosely with what is
known as a soft bandage. over
this, an elastic bandage is put
.G, using strong pressure. The
nbination OF the two band
zEes provides pressure without
any harshness. The bandages
do not become stiff and they
move with the muscles. The
underlying bandage contains
preparations which help prevent
irritation of the skin. The treat
ment is comfortable and may be
continued over A long period OF
time If necessary. The bandage
does not stick To the hair of the
legs and shaving Of the hair IS
not necessary before IL is APP
piled. Furthermore. the bandage
may be easily changed.
IN TREATING the leg below
i the knee. the bandage is
started behind the toes and is
wound up TO the knee. covering
the foot. heel and calf of the leg.
