to colds. Sneezing and shifting has dimin-
lShed since Samuel Johnson revealed in his
dictionary that cough was "a convulsiOn of
the lungs, vellicated by some sharp serOsity."
When the new Congress gathered from
every part of the Nation many voices were
hOarse and harsh. Senators rasped and
rOared in discussing the case of "that guy
BilbO"
At about the same time Doctor Louis f.
SilcOX of the University of Pennsylvania
told the Philadelphia Chapter of the College
of Physicians about tests that were made
among cOughers in hospitals, clinics and in
private cases. He described our common
cold enemy the dry, hard, hacking cough as
SOciated with a cold, and the cough due to
bronchitis
DR.. Sicox faced an interesting gather
ing OF professional men, explaining the dis
cOvery of a new 25-etter-name nOn-narcotic
drug that acts on coughs like codeine. The
new drug, inhaled orally from device little
larger than a lipstick, is so efficient that
Philadelphia might be justified in giving the
Liberty Bell few taps inasmuch as the
new discovery has just been used in series
of tests on more than 200 cough patients
DR.. Silcox says that methyliso-heptyla-
mine was effective in IT percent of the cases
Evidently the old Latin proverb that "a
cough cannot be hid' has been outlawed In
proof thereof, our distinguished legislators
on Capitol Hill have gotten rid of most of
their trumpeting that disturbed their ears,
noses and throats during the opening days
of the 8Oth Session of Congress.
PUBLIC OPINION AS represented in
the National Capital is swinging back in the
direction of restoring American ideals and
reestablishing so far as possible sensible
standards of living that were uprooted by
the New Deal. When the Democratic party
switched from Woodrow Wilson mooringS it
started opening the door for Communism
Looking back over dozen or fifteen years
it is fair to give full credit to men like Con-
gressman Dies and his "Des Committee.
They exposed the Red invasion that was
scattering poison over our fair land AL
Smith used to say: Consult the Records"
That makes it very clear in this instance,
that small groups of men knew what was
happening. During the same. period of time
j. Edgar Hoover was carrying on thorough
job with the Federal Bureau of Investiga-
ton. Every time this group exposed a dam
gerOuS situation the New Deal shifted gears,
and increased its speed in pushing new and
false changes in our form of Government
We, the People, have started to govern our
own affairs.
Feeding and freeing starving Europe
does not seem to be appreciated anywhere
Right here, IN our own country, So-caled
american liberals are actually supporting
the Communist system Programs launched
and supported by men like Wallace and a
few sO-called leaders of labor unions-N1ur-
ray, Lewis, Green, Reuther, ct all, must be
wiped out-and-up by the people of the United
States. You can't compromise with those
ducks. Already, they are losing ground-so
speed them with pushing and showing over
the brink and into oblivion. The Republican
and Democratic parties are heading in the
right direction-and there is hope that in
time they will restore the old American sys-
tenn of sound Government in the Nation
"Take time by the forelock"
LOOK ON PAGE 50 OF THE Congress
Sl0nal Directory where you'll find hopes of
better Government because two editors have
outrun the lawyers On that particular page
Massachusetts gives the biography of Joseph
William Martin, Jr of North Attleboro, tell
ing OF his career as a publisher of The Eve
ming Chronicle, North AttlebOrO In 1924 he
was elected Il member of Congress and has
served ever since. Now he is Speaker of the
House of Representatives
Then Massachusetts runs off into Mich-
gan and the biography of Arthur H. Van
denberg who was editor and publisher of
The Grand Rapids Herald before going to
the Senate in 1928, where he has served with
outstanding ability. Now he is President pro
tenn of the new Senate.
Thus, lawyers who are in the majority
in both Houses of Congress, are now serving
under the gavels welded by two lirst-cass
newspaper editors, outside the big ncttOpoH-
ton centers That means that the Govern

AN ATOM Is "TIIE SMALLEST par-
tlcle of an element that can exist" according
to Noah Webster'S Dictionary. The atom
bomb is a United States secret, and our Ma
tlon is going to keep that secret from Stain,
MOlotOv and their diplomatic buzzards.
No European members of the United
Nation Council match the abilities of our
