It Seems to Me HEffIOOD BROUN AWAY bark in the spring of 1934 I announced that I intended to shake the dust of New York from my feet and go out to discover America. I kept harping on the for some time and quite a few people told me that it got pretty tiresome. The general feeling seemed to be. “If you're going to jump—jump.’’ Eventually I did get as far as St. Paul, Minn., by the use of railroad, bus and airplane. And now the old wanderlust is beginning to gnaw at me once again. This time there will be no prolonged leave-taking. Wi’hout any warning you will wake up some morning and find that I am in Perth Amboy. The destination matters very little. The chief point is shaking off the dust. In recent arguments with friends there has come upon me suddenly the icy feeling, “We talked about these selfsame things last night. Or was it on Thursday? Were we at Twenty-one or Tony's? And does it really matter?” My feeling that I*want to get away from it all depends partly on the fact that I spent Saturday

night in Wernersville, Pa. Wernersville, Pa., is all right for a visit if vou don't mind the kitchpn closing at 11 p. m. and the tram for Jersey City leaving at 8:50. n a a Checking Up on Nature A ITER making a speech I always fpol hungry and thirsty.

needs his vitamins. When you get from a receptive audienre that low hum of appreciation it is only natural to say to yourself, “What wouldn't I give right now for a platter of fornbeef and cabbage!” It didn't go as well as that in Wernersville, but I could have used a chicken sandwich. The night watchman said he thought he could manage it, but it turned out that he didn't know his Wernersville. Yet whatever misgivings I may have had about primitive life in Pennsylvania were riddled by the morning sun. Home never* was like this. In the foothills they wash and ’aunrier the air and the sky Is spread before you like pale blue pajamas neatly folded upon a bed. October trees make Spanish shawls seem repentence raiment. White houses with red roofs stand upon the hilLs and some sort of purple flower seems to be persisting. Maybe there is something in this nature business after all. I must look into it for only yesterday I gawked at meadows and plowed fields more fair than many of the faces which 1 hold reasonably dear. Instead of puffing the unfamiliar morning air of the countryside I took a deep inhale. How was Ito know that here was atmosphere of at least one hundred proof. Ido not think the driver saw me sway, but he must have been puzzled when I exclaimed almost by habit, “See what the boys in the back room will have and make mine the same.” a a a He's Gctlinfj Sentimental F'ORTU NATELY I soon was aboard a train and in a smoking compartment where the familiar bootleg oxygen quickly brought me back to normal. But I’m all for another spree. We never can be young nuore than once or twice and if I choose to get addled with ozone whose business is it? I'm hurting nobody but myself. Os course, one thinks more clearly in the city. Here the weather does not warp your will and your determination to consider all affairs realistically. There are spots in this town where one can sit and have none of his flights of fancy stopped by sleet or snow’ or rain or blizzard. In fact I have seen customers making out blank checks who felt constrained to ask. “What is the date, George, the season and the year?” Only from such a detached point of view’ can anybody undertake to soh’e the riddles of the universe. A morning in the country delivers me over to my chief vice which is sentimentality. If it w-ere not for my sentimentality I might be a really good painter. Or even an adequate agitator. But when the hills are green and rolling it is difficult not to fall into the frame of mind of thinking that some of the people you loathe and despise are really better essentially than you have been willing to admit. The earth looks so good that you forget its errors. And so in speaking of a trip from here to nowhere in particular I am asking for myself a dangerous indulgence. There is the ever present risk that the sap will rise in me. Luckily even in the fartherest comers of this fair land an antidote always is handy. You may look to the hills and be half way persuaded to become a mystic. But across the greenest valley there will rise up the turrets of the factory, mill or foundry. You need not go more than a little distance to see the scars of squalor. It is a swell world on a fine clear morning, but what a mess mankind has made of it. ICopvrtcht. 1914. bv The Tlm<-s)

Today s Science BY DAVID DIETZ

DUST is the deadliest explosive known to the industrial world. This may come as a surprise to the layman who thinks of dynamite, TNT. and the like, when the word "explosive" is mentioned. The dust demon is Industrial Enemy No. 1. According to government experts, the constant threat of dust explosions hangs over more than 28.000 factories and shops in the United States. Despite elaborate precautions to prevent dust explosions, rigid inspections of equipment and the like, the dust demon sometimes get loose with disastrous effects. Here, for example, is the record of one such event: It is 11 o’clock in the morning in the polishing shop of an aluminum ware factory in a northwestern state. About twenty-five girls are at work in the room, putting a satin finish upon the aluminum utensils by holding them against a rapidly revolving wire brush. Over each brush there is a hood, connected with a powerful exhaust fan which sucks in the aluminum dust. In some unknown way. a piece of wire has fallen into the big air pipe through which the dust is drawn. It falls into the exhaust fan and becomes entangled with the blades of the fan. As it is whirled around, friction causes it to strike a spark. There is a tremendous roar as the dust in the pipe explodes. The force of the explosion shakes the entire building and bends steel window frames outward. Long tongues of flames flash through the shop. Six girls are killed and five injured seriously. a a a DUST explosions can occur in a great variety of plants under many different conditions. Government records, for example, tell the following story for the month from Aug. 20. 1930. to Sept. 20. 1930: Aug. 20.—Explosion in grain elevator at Baltimore. Six killed. Fourteen injured; $20,000 damage. Aug. 22—Feed-grmding plant. Kansas City. Two killed. Two injured; $75,000 damage. Aug. 26—Feed-grinding plant, Minneapolis. Two killed; SIOO,OOO damage. Sept. 12—Tobacco factory. Richmond, Va. Minor explosion. No injuries. Sept. 20—Starch factory. Decatur, 111. Six killed; $5,000 damage. The United States Department of Agriculture, as a means of teaching the hazards of dust explosions, has a miniature grain elevator. This is filled with dusts of various sorts and set off by an electric spark. The explosion is strong enough to blow* the top off the model. a a a AN explosion, it must be remembered, is a very rapid burning. One controlling factor in many cases is the availability of the oxygen to the substance to be oxidized. Touching a match to a block of wood will not cause the wood to go up in flames. The same block of wood, reduced to fine splinters, is quickly ignited. That explains why dust is so explosive. The dust is spread throughout the air in a fine cloud. Each particle is surrounded by oxygen. Fortunately, dust is temperamental. Any mixture of dust and air is not explosive. There is. in the case of each type of dust, a certain proportion of dust and air which is explosive.

LEARNING HOW TO SAVE LIVES 30 Policemen Tutored by Red Cross at Instructors' School

SOME months ago there was an auto accident near the downtown section of Indianapolis. One car spun around, crashed into a utility pole and overturned. The driver was thrown half way through the windshield. Witnesses extricated him, unconscious and bleeding freely from several deep cuts. Someone phoned police headquarters. The call was broadcast over the police radio and in a little more than a minute a squad car was on the scene. A crowd of several hundred persons had gathered. Officers cleared a space around the prostrate man, loosened his clothing and sought to ascertain the extent of his injuries. It was apparent that the victim was losing a dangerous amount of blood. Though the officers recognized the emergency, the position of the wound made it impossible to affix a tourniquet or apply pressure to the severed artery by any of the usual methods. A physician could not be located immediately and it would be several minutes before the ambulance arrived. At this point a bystander approached the officer in charge and said:

“I think I know how to stop that bleeding. May I try?” Permission having been granted. he knelt, made a rapid examination and opening the cut he skillfully applied pressure with his fingers, stanching the flow at once. a a a F'IVE minutes later tne ambulance physician remarked that the quick, intelligent act probably had saved the patient’s life. Though all Indianapolis policemen know’ the rudiments of first aid. the case above was one of many which strongly indicated a need for more thorough and advanced training. For more than a year Chief Michael Morrissey had considered ways and means to achieve this end. Recently when the Indianapolis chapter of the American Red Cross offered to instruct a selected group of officers, he was quick to accept. Thirty men were picked to take the thirty-six hour course. They represent every department on the force. Some have had previous training. All were chosen with their ability as teachers in mind, for when they have completed the work and passed a satisfactory examination. they will be qualified instructors and will share their knowledge with their fellow officers. Details are not yet completed but it is expected that every policeman will have the opportunity to attend the classes to be given by the chosen thirty on completion of the present course. a a a TWICE a week, on Monday and Thursday nights, the budding instructors gather in the Indianapolis Red Cross chapter rooms in the American Legion building, 777 North Meridian street. Dr. Herbert T. Wagner Sr., is in charge, assisted by Herbert T. Wagnpr Jr., and Louis C. Robbins. The thirty hours of study and six hours of examinations will take nine weeks to complete. The course is the most up-to-date training available. It has been prepared carefully by lead-

■The - DAILY WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND By Drew Pearson and Robert S. Allen

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.—What chiefly concerns the Roosevelt admistration about European war clouds is the fact that Yugoslavia no longer has the stabilizing influence it once had on its old ally, France. Confidential reports cabled here state that Mussolini is doing his best to prevent hostilities, but that powerful forces within the Yugoslav government lean toward war as the only means of keeping that

heterogeneous kingdom together. In addition to the long and bitter strife between the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, there are other smaller but equally bitter minorities Albanians, Bulgars, and. to a certain extent, Montenegrins, Hercigovenians and Bosnians. Only the firm and at times ruthless hand of King Alexander kept' them together. Now that hand has been removed. His successors, faced with the disintegration of the kingdom, may find war the easier course. General Zhivkovitch, iron man under King Alexander, has pronounced anti-Italian leanings. Several times before, the French had to put the brakes on Yugoslav outbursts against Italy. Now their influence is gone. The assassination at Marseille, the new Franco-Italian friendship, killed it. That is why fear of war is being taken more seriously than any one in officialdom will admit. B B B ONE thing not lacking to the justice department in its anti-crime drive is advice. Every jnaii brings scores of letters from self-appointed counsellors. Some suggestions are ingenious. to say the least. One offered the brilliant idea that all auto tires be stamped with a number, so that when an outlaw attempted to escape his trail would be stamped in the dust of the road. Another proposed the use of an auto-license mounting device which operated on a hair-trigger. This was supposed to put an end to hit-and-run driving, for the moment a car struck something the license would fall automatically to the ground. A third was even more resourceful. He claimed to have the one sure method for the detection of crime and criminals—but it was a great secret. So far he has not given the secreu^way. a a a OMINOUS labor trouble is brewing behind the scenes in the automobile industry. It should burst around-Nov. 3, when the latest extension of the code for this great basic industry expires. Inner administration rulers are holding their breath m fear and trembling as that date approaches. From its inception the autocode ha> been an endless source of fireworks.

ing physicians to present the latest findings of medical science in the most concise and understandable manner. It has been given to thousands of pupils by Red Crass chapters in all parts of the world. a a a SEVERAL classes will be devoted to a detailed study of physiology. A sound knowledge of the circulatory, skeletal and nervous systems will be the foundation for the more advanced teachings. Lifesize charts aid in the instruction. A proper diagnosis of the injury or illness is most important. Poisons must be identified before the correct antidote can be administered. The patient's life may depend on the rescuer’s ability to distinguish between venous and arterial bleeding. Sunstroke and heat prostration call for entirely different treatment. The officers are taught that speed is essential in only three cases: Poisoning, rapid loss of blood and asphixiation. At all other times they should proceed coolly and deliberately. a a a IT is just as important to know what not to do as it is to know what to do. Too often a patient with a fractured skull is hustled into a car and driven to the hospital at breakneck speed over rough roads when his life may depend on the gentlest sort of handling. The same is true in the case of a broken back w’here the jagged edge of fractured bones may cut the spinal cord unless the greatest care is exercised. These are just a few of the vital facts that Chief Morrissey wants his men to know. With the aid of the police radio system, squad cars usually arrive at the scene of an accident a minute or two after it occurs. In the next five or ten minutes, before the ambulance arrives, a trained man may be able to take steps that will save a life. a a a NEARLY every policeman has seen the time when he had to stand by helpless and watch someone die because he didn’t

Johnson. It substituted a "merit clause” for the collective bargaining of Section 7-A. Organized labor set up a terrific outcry. Whereupon, General Johnson admitted he had erred and promised to revoke the auto code when it came up for renewal. Since then the code has been renewed twice by the President. But no move was made by him or Johnson to eliminate the "merit clause.” Early last spring, resentment against the unyielding anti-union stand of the motor moguls reached such a pitch that auto workers threatened a general strike. A week of frenzied negotiation, personal intervention by the President, and the crisis was averted. Labor remains sore, but, for the time being, quiet. It was the off season, and not a good time to strike. But now the winter high production period approaches, and embittered workers are tightening their belts and preparing for a showdown. When the last extension of the code was approved by the President the workers were not consulted—a fact not overlooked by them. The renewal was authorized Sept. 4, following a secret conference between General Johnson and Walter Chrysler. Johnson recommended a ninety-day extension. Mr. Roosevelt cut it to sixty. In preparation for tie question of renewal, Nov. 3. the NRA labor advisory board has made a confidential recommendation that the "merit clause” be discarded and a flat forty-hour week be set up in the automobile industry. On the fate of this may depend the peace of motor plants. Labor is determined to throw out the "merit clause.” (Copyright, 1934. bv United Feature Syndicate.

THE NATIONAL ROUNDUP a a a a a a By Ruth Finney

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.—While indications multiply that President Roosevelt has entered into a truce with industry and finance, the men who hope to be elected to office three weeks from now are relying more and more on the belief that popular sentiment is swinging leftward. The 1934 campaign was already one of the most unusual in political history. This combination of events makes it more so. It is not unusual for a President to reassure business during a campaign, but it is unusual for his conservative opponents to flirt with the opposite

school of thought while he does sc If the candidates are guessing shrewdly and the more radical ones are elected, the era of good feeling that has existed between executive and legislative branches of the government may be at an end. In Wisconsin, Senator La Follette’s two opponents have been on record as conservatives for many years. John B. Chappie, Repubiican. denounced all Progressive policies as dangerous radicalism the last time he went before the voters. This year he is advocating jobs for all, bestowal of all surplus

food on the unemployed, higher incomes for farmers, pay-off of closed bank depositors and a cash bonus at once for ex-service men. He is attacking bankers and utility companies. a a a JOHN M. CALLAHAN, Democratic opponent of La Follette, repeatedly has denounced New Deal measures as unconstitutional and ill-advised. He fought Roosevelt bitterly in the 1932 convention. But in the closing days of the campaign, he has swallowed his words and declared himself for Mr. Roosevelt and the New Deal, in the apparent hope of holding Democratic votes that were swinging toward La Follette. Similar manifestations have occurred in California. Frank W. Merriam, struggling to keep the governorship against Upton Sinclair’s menacing attack, has laid claim to liberal leanings never suspected during his long political career. Asa member of the state legislature for many years he has been a consistent old guard Republican. Now he is advocating more generous relief for the unemployed and has indorsed the Townsend old age pension plan, which calls for paying S2OO a month to old persons on condition that they spend it all in thirty days. In Ohio, Vic Donahey, former Governor, who showed no enthusiasm for the New Deal during the primary race, has edged over toward it in the last few weeks and gratefully has accepted help from a variety of Washington officials. SENATOR S HATFIELD, West Virginia Republican, who spent many hours criticising liberal Roosevelt policies during the last session of congress, now is emphasizing his votes for various measures backed by labor, and the fact that the railroad brotherhoods have indorsed him. His opponent is Rush Holt, liberal young coal miners In New Mexico, Senator Bronson Cutting and Representative Dennis Chaves are trying to outdo each other in liberal declarations. The same thing is true in Minnesota, where Representative Einar Hoidale and Senator Henrik Shipstead are fighting it qut. Senator Hubert D.

ANY roster of the fnends of the common man in this country ought to include, up near the top, the nfmes of two women who, at first glimpse, would seem to be decidedly reactionary and oblivious to the problems of the working people. These would be Mrs. Lucy Cotton Thomas-Ament-Hann-Magraw, a former actress, and Mrs. E. B. McLean of Washington. D. C. Possibly when the smoke and dust of the great readjustment have blown away they will deserve rank above Mrs,

Roosevelt and Miss Frances Perkins. Who? Mrs. Lucy Cotton Thomas-Ament-Hann-Magraw has confided to Miss Geraldine Sartain of the New’ York World-Telegram, a plan of hers to develop a playground for persons with the proper background at the old Deauville casino in Miami Beach, Fla. This is a structure built of purple mud on a lath frame in which Tex Rickard w’as planning to establish his American Monte Carlo when he suddenly set down his highball

and complained of pains. The ambulance which carried Tex on his last ride took him past the casino on his w’av to the little hospital up the beach. The last time your correspondent saw’ the casino it needed tinting and there were realtors’ signs on the walls, yellng for action of some kind. The window’s were boarded up. Mrs. McLean is the possessor of the famous Hope diamond winch has become a Sunday editor’s standby. A topic as durable as the man-eating pitcher plant of Abyssinia and the Dorothy Arnold mystery. It is only one item in a large collection of jewelry belonging to Mrs. McLean. ana It's For Humanity VfOT long ago, Mrs. McLean returned from an excursion to Moscow and reported that she had gone out in public wearing her jewels, contrary to the, customs of the country, with the deliberate intention of giving the people a thrill. One gathered that she also wished to flout the revolution. She was quita proud of her independent spirit. Mrs. Magraw’ told Miss Sartain she was grateful that she would be able to keep Deauville open to the world. She wished to do that much for humanity. “I feel,” she said, “that it is the reward for all my striving to express artistic beauty. There are sixty rooms. We will rent them for S3O, S4O, and SSO a day.” She also is planning to build a bathing cabana for her little daughter’s dog, Rex. Os course, the conduct of Mrs. Magraw '.nd Mrs. McLean is not likely to endear them immediately to the working class, but that is not to say that they are not performing valuable service on behalf of the forgotten man. Where Mrs. Roosevelt, Miss Perkins and the other avowed friends pursue a slow course which takes them into coaf mines, milltowns, and city slums, encouraging the poor and holding out a provisional promise of pie in the sky, ladies like Mrs. Magraw and Mrs. McLean achieve the quick result of making them hopping mad. A few hundred of them, properly exploited, might start a successful revolution. ana Just for a Thrill CERTAINLY a revolutionary leader hardly could ask for more helpful propagandists than these two or a more favorable press than that which quote* them literally and records their extravagance faithfully and without comment. And a speakers’ bureau engaged in promoting a redistribution of wealth should find one hour of Mrs. Magraw or Mrs. McLean before an audience of poor working people to be worth a w'hole season's program of radical orators provided the ladies could be relied on to express themselves naturally. Mrs. McLean, of course, should wear a million in jewels in addressing the desperate unemployed. When the reform or revolution or whatever it comes to, has been accomplished and they begin erecting statues to the American Lenins in the coal country and the slave centers of west Tennessee, certain pedestals should be reserved to the woman who expresses artistic beauty in a SSO-a-day hotel for persons with the proper background in the fifth winter of the long panic and the one who brought out her jewels before the poor of Mascow just to give them a thrill. Sometimes your correspondent wonders whether such people honestly can be that detached and reckless. It seems that they must be secret agents of the Soviet engaged to do an act and drive the common people fighting mad. (Copyright. 1934, by United Feature Syndicate, Inc.)

Your Health —BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN—

SOMETIMES the bronchial tubes, which carry the air from the windpipe in the throat to the finer tissues in the lung, become distended and filled with secretion^. This condition usually is associated with some inflammation in the lung itself, leading to formation of fibrous tissue and causing the dilatation or spreading of the bronchial tubes. The amount of material which collects is offensive to the patient and results in a good deal of hacking, coughing and expectoration. There are, of course, other conditions which may bring about this chronic inflammation, called bronchiectasis. If any foreign body gets into one of the main tubes and stops it up, there is swelling and an accumulation of sputum in the other tubes. If a cancer or any other form of growth develops, blocking up any portion of the breathing tract, this condition may follow. a a a WHEN th<* germs associated with bronchiectasis destroy considerable amounts of tissue. the material that is expectorated is thick and sometimes has a bad odor. The severity of the condition and its effect on life depend, of course, on the original cause. If the condition follows bronchitis, or pleurisy, or pneumonia, it Is likely to last longer than in cases in which it is associated with something which temporarily-blocks one of the tubes. In treating this sort of condition It is necessary to find out first just what brought on the trouble. Nowadays it is possible not only to examine the material that is expectorated, but also to pass a tube down into the lungs and to look at the inflammation directly. It is possible aLso to inject certain substances into the tubes that lead into the lungs and then, by means of an X-ray picture, to find out the extent to which they have been damaged. a a a SOMETIMES persons with these conditions are helped by lying face downward in bed, so as to get the advantage of easy flow of the material out of the lungs and throat. Occasionally, inhalation of warm medicated vapors is helpful. In some cases surgical procedures are used whereby the treatment is given directly to the lung, compressing It or stopping its activity and thus allowing the injured tissues to heal. Most surgeons hesitate to operate on such patients, when the material that is expectorated is very large in amount and of a bad odor, because of the dangers of serious infection and death following operation. Serious conditions of this type again emphasize the importance of getting good medical advice on the very first appeal ance of any serious discharge of pus. blood, fluid, or any other material from the lungs and throat. Treated early, there is possibility of help. When the condition goes on to become chronic, the chances cf bringing about relief are much lea*.
