Sounds familiar!

The soft sell was Coolidge's method. Occasionally he would acknowledge unemployment or

endorse Harvard professor Wil- \ liam Z. Ripley’s campaign against sale to the public of non-voting corporate stock. But Coolidge's optimism was consistent and contagious. It enticed millions of little fellows into the stock market, even as now. On Jan. 8. 1929, a few months away from calamity, Coolidge told his press conference: Gives Optimistic Report *T haven’t a great amount of information concerning the business situation, but I was advised this morning by the Department of Commerce that the last six months, according to their reports, was better than the first six months of 1928 and was up to the standard of 1927. So far as they can determine present conditions in business throughout the country are good and the prospect for the immediate future seems to be as good as usual.’* President Johnson and his busines advisers are equally enthusiastic in their estimates of present conditions, if not more so. As in Cooldige’s time, there has been a small investor stampede to get in on the stock market goodies. But there is strict regulation of stock market operations now to prevent some of the piratical practices of the 1920’s. There is now a firm brake on margin account trading. Strong laws now prevent much of the banking flim flam and other financial vices of the bad old

days.

Dangerously out of control, however, is both public and private debt.

Six Spacemen Make Title Today SPACE CENTER, Houston UPI — Six of America’s healthiest young scientists, doctors and geologists officially take the title of “astronaut” today. Their destination: The moon — in five

years.

The new scientist-astronauts —two college professors, a pair of medical doctors, a rocket engineering expert and a geologist — represent the cream of more than 1,500 hopefuls who applied to the U.S. space agency last yera for a chance to make the nation’s first truly scientific expedition to the moon. The fledgling spacemen, who join 28 astronauts America already has in training, were scheduled for formal introduction at a news conference at the agency’s Manned Spacecraft Center near Houston today. They were: Dr. Edward G. Gibson, 29. of San Clemente, Calif., who holds a degree in jet propulsion engineering; Dr. Owen K. Garriott, 34. of Palo Alto, Calif., an associate professor of electrical engineering at Stanford University; Dr. F. Curtis Michel, 31, of Houston, an assistant professor of space science at Rice University; Dr. Duane E. Graveline, 34, of Houston, a medcial specialist with the Manned Spacecraft Center; Dr. Joseph P. Kerwin, 33. of Jacksonville, Fla., a Navy flight surgeon and jet pilot; and Dr. Harrison H. Schmitt, 29, of Flagstaff, Ariz., a bachelor geologist. But the moon is still a long way off. Under present plans, the first scientist-astronaut will ride aboard a three-man Apollo moonship only after the first one or two U.S. manned lunar landings now 1 expected around

1969.

It shows the spent booster tumbling and trail* ing smoke. The camera was ejected and recovered in the Atlantic about 150 miles east.

NEW MOON MEN—Two of the six new scientists selected to train for that big trip to the Moon are Dr. Owen K. Garriott, 34, Palo Alto, Calif, shown in his Stanford University laboratory, and Dr. F. Curtis Michel, 31, Houston, Tex. They loin 28 astronauts in training.

HEALTH

By LESTER L. COLEMAN, MJ>.

Readers Are Asking . . .

Coleman

IS gonorrhea as serious a venereal disease as syphilis? Gonorrhea and syphilis are both serious diseases, especially when treatment is delayed. Although each is caused by a different infecting organism, both are distinct venereal dis-

eases.

* ..5 Contrary ^ to the general impression of the uninformed, gonorrhea can be complicated by neglect, and can have permanent effects

on health.

With bravado and the cour-

age of ignorance, adolescents frequently casually pass off gonorrhea as no worse than an

ordinary cold.

Unfortunately, venereal diseases go hand-in-hand with each other, when there is promiscuous exposure. Education by parents, teachers and health officials must concentrate on the prevention of all venereal diseases if the present alarming statistics are

to be reduced.

What is meant by “cradle

cap?”

This is a skin condition that sometimes occurs during early infancy. Technically it is known as seborrheic dermatitis. This crusting of the scalp is caused by an excess secretion of the oil-producing glands that lie beneath the skin, ’fhe condition is not serious and usually clears up quickly with simple treatment. * • * 2a a Quinsy throat the same

as a “strep” throat? Although both are caused by the streptococcus germ, they are totally different conditions. Quinsy is a severe inflammation in the tissues of the mouth that surround the tonsils. If untreated, an abcess may form which frequently requires surgery to release the pus and relieve this painful condition. Early and intensive treatment with antibiotics is remarkably effective in reducing the Quinsy condition and the need for stir*

gery.

A "strep” throat, too, is an acute infection associated with pain on swallowing, fever and marked redness of the throat. Abcess formation does not usually occur with a strep throat, unless the condition is neglected and complications develop. The strep throat once terrified the patient, the family and even the doctor. Now the streptococcus that causes it has fallen victim to concentrated bombardment with antibiotics. The typical strep throat has such a characteristic appearance that it can be suspected by the trained eye of a physi-

cian.

Laboratory examinations of smears and cultures of the throat are an aid, both in identifying the exact germ and also in determining the most effective antibiotic. While Dr. Coleman cannot undertake to answer individual letters, he will use readers? questions in his column whenever possible and when they are of general interest. Address your letters to Dr. Coleman in core of this newspaper.
