Safety Pointers for the Summer Vacation
(HISTORIC SESSION. What probably will be rscoMed in the history of this country as the most moipentous peacetime session of Congress since the inception of the Union has closed, leaving as a monument to its existence more outstanding legislation than any previous Congress. But was is a peacetime Con-
gress?
To the student of public affairs it really was a war Congress. Intend of meeting to conscript manpower for a war of destruction, the special session was called by President Roosevelt to promulgate legislation to end an economic condition which threatened the very grass roots of civilization. There will be many who will find fault with various single pieces of legislation, but as a whole this nation took a greater forward stride economically during the past three ane one-half months than in any administration since the first term of Woodrow Wilson. It is too early to evaluate fully the effect of the numerous measures passed by the extraordinary , session of Congress—but it is evident on all sides that one result has been achieved—restoration of confidence in the American system of government.

CREDIT DUE CONGRESS. Of course, it is plainly manifest that much of the credit for the economic recovery legislation must go to President Roosevelt—yet history will not and cannot detract from the constructive work of the members of the seventy-third Con-
gress.
To those close to the scene it is an open fact that while the President sketched the type of legislation which he desired, it was the members of the House and Senate who took the rough plans and made of it the finished product. SCOPE OF WORK. It is not the intention of this column to go into details regarding the legislation passed, but to merely outline briefly the- achieve-
ments.
First of all there is, of course, the legalization of beer, which put thousands back to work and put millions of dollars in the channels of trade and into tffe Federal tax coffers to lift the burden of direct
levies.
(Secondly, Congress stepped out to help not only the farmer, but the home owner. Relief was furnished through two measures to the over-mortgaged farmer and his city brother, bent nearly double under
the mortgage load.
In order to restore confidence in our banking institutions and so liberalize credit, the Glass-iSteagall banking bill with its deposit insurance feature was passed. The Senate should get all credit for this as the administration leaders

Learn to recognize this plant, and then carefully avoid it. Ivy, oak and sumac poisoning are caused by an irritating oil present on the leaves. Poisoning results readily from dontact with smoke from the burning leaves. The skin should be washed immediately and thoroughly with warm water and soap. If poisoning occurs anyway, apply calamine lotion, or a solution of ferric chloride. Another good treatment is the application of dressings wet with a solution of Epsom salts, as strong as

j tended the public schools. He was
graduated from DePauw university in 1909 and immediately entered Y. M. C. A. work, first being assigned as secretary of the Kansas state college Y. M. C. A. Then he was sent to Southern India and it was on this assignment that he became acquainted with one of the outstanding figures in world'' history, Mahatma Gandhi. That acquaintanceship has remained unbroken and, it might be said, had a' connection with Mr. Whitehair’s death. He had again heard the --call of travel and newspaper work and that call had taken him from his

He was 'to spend 60 days in India, to study the picture that the world and especially Great Britain must face when Gandhi dies and leaves his followers leaderless. And, it is interesting to tell here, of his anticipated visit to China. Friends Now Rule China When Mr. and Mrs. Whitehair were in charge of Y. M. C. A. work at Cornell university, five Chinese students were enrolled there. The Whitehairs took particular interest i'n these boys, they were regular Sunday evening visitors in the Whitehair home. Today, these five Chinese boys are ruling powers in that great, troubled country across fhe Pacific. Mr. • Whitehair, for his newspaper, was to make an exhaustive study of Chinese conditions and to tell the story of the program drawn by those boys he once befriended at Cornell university.

BETTY BARCLAY’S HELPFUL HINTS
with an eye towards the fact that they are intended to build us up for the next year’s work. Too often people work so hard having a good time that they come home all played out, needing the rest they should have had on their vacation. Even worse is the idea that we must forget everything but fun and pleasure. Of course banishing business worries and spending your vacation in the proper mental attitude are among the first essentials to getting the most out of your holidays. But it is also wise to use a little forethought to prevent the accidents and illnesses that can so easily spoil a vacation and turn a good time into
a tragedy.
Change and Moderation In planning your vacation, remember that in many respects “a change is as good as a rest.” Don’t spend your holidays like the sailor who went boating, or the mail-carrier who took a long walk. If possible, do just the opposite from your usual round of
activities.
For example, if your occupation is a sedentary one demanding great expenditure of mental energy, plan a vacation of mild physical activity free from all strain. Golf, tennis, swimming, baseball, hiking, and Similar physical pursuits in moderation are suggested. Don’t begin too vigorously. Exercise should leave a feeling of pleasant fatigue, rather than exhaustion, which is dangerous
to health.
Or, if you do physical work thej year round, then seek a holiday of| relaxation, and perhaps study and 1 read a bit to exercise the mental processes. Some men enjoy the quiet solitude that comes from fishing. Travel for those who can afford it provides an excellent means of obtaining cultural and educational
advantages.
Get away from home if you can. If you can’t, remember that many, people can get more good from spending their vacations at home loafing than those who tire themselves out going away.
Whatever your vacation program may be, don’t make it too fatiguing or strenuous. You should plan to build up a reserve of mental and physical energy that may be called upon during the ensuing year. Keep in mind that change and moderation are the two essentials of a profitablevacation. ;

Mr. Whitehair, with the British forces, followed the same route taken by Napolean in his attempted conquest of Palestine. Railroad tracks were laid as the troops moved forward under constant bombing of Turkish and German
airplanes.
It, was in June, 1917, that the British government sent one of her greatest generals, Sir Edmund Henry Hyman Allenby to carry on the attack that had reached a standstill. His first great success was the capture of Beersheba and then he drove on to Jerusalem.
