Dawes left politically alert osh-r ington speculating : furiously today aver a suddep announcement of re tirement as ambassador tp Qreat Britain. ; The simple and unexpected state ment of the former vice president that he was going back soon to run his bank at Chicago startled poli tical leaders and closjo friends here, whoiare ever mindful of.the apT prcaching presidential pampalgn, Dawes left 1Ib announcement here, to be given out some time after his departure for Chicago last night. He said he was going1 ahead as chairman of the American delegation to the forthcoming Geneva arms conference but 'that he would only stay there until the "general work which our government has in mind for me" is! completed. He would not remain, he said, to complete technical details. : There is no mention of President' Hoqver in the statement, and despite the declaration that- he was looking forward "to life as a private citizen of Chicago," Republicans in. the, cap-; Ital r and Democrats pondered the idea' that .the door was open to him so far as the 1932 presidential campaign is concerned. Against this political view of many was the thought by others close to Dawes that he really has Intended coming back to his bank for more thana year. They also point out he Is vitally Interested In the approach ing celebration to be staged by Chi cago the century of progress ex position. x . White House officials took Dawes' news almost without comment, but expressions of surprise camo from high state department officers and Republican leaders. The man to whom ,a diplomat's Job was "easy on the brain but hell on the feet" made this announcement of his intentions: "After I have completed the gen eral work which our government has in mind for me at Geneva as chair man of the American delegation, I do not expect to remain for the tech nical work which will be taken up conjointly with the disarmament ex perts. "I shall then resign as ambassador to Great Britain and return to Chi cago where I will take up, my old work as banker and become chair man of the board of the Central Re public Bank & Trust company, after a long absence. In offlplal positions, I am looking forward ,(,0 the renewal of my old associations and to life as a private citizen of Chicago." Snow Four Feet Deep in Wallowa County Timber ENTERPRISE (Special) - Mine feet of snow have fallen In the north woods, and after It has been settling for more than a month. It lies tour feet deep on' the level. This Is the estimate of Patrolman Frank J, Berry who Is In charge of the Flora high way, and It tallies with reports from Smith Mountain and other places In the timber, says the Record-Chieftain. After every fall, plows have gone over the nc-rth highway and have shoved Abe snow b&ck and. the mid dle of the road Is smooth and hard and nearly down to the gravel. But the equipment is limited in weight and power and the roadway has been getting narrower and narrower, and little more snow can be shoved aside.

Ta date the winter has been al most -perfect. Since the flrs.t snow fell, Hoy. 2Q, there Has notbeen, a thaw. No water or slush has ever appeared in roadways, .which are formed of "hord packed snow rather than" ice.

Horry Prather, electrlolan at Hot Lake, is ''celebrating'1, the new year with a severely sprained ankle which Is keeping him In the hospital for a few days. Dr. Bishop, of the hospital staff, and his family have returned from a week's vacation In Portland. On the trip down, the Bishop car yfUB ruin into by a careless driver at Hermlston.

Health , v EXfiRCIHK AND OBESITY Obesity, by which Is meant ex-! ces'slvo body weight due mainly toi tho deposit of fat In the body, Is a' menace to health ond longevity. - The experience of life Insurance) companies has shown that lowest death rates prevail among those who when under 35 years of age are a few pounds over the average weight,! and when older than 36 'are a few pounds under the average weight. . ; Obesity may bo duo to a number of causes, but In the last analysis Indicates that the afflicted person oats more than he requires.' To be rid of the accumulated fat it is necessary to reverse the rela-: tlonshlp between energy intake and output. The first Is represented by the food we cat, the second, by the work wo do, k The middle agod Individual who has become awarp pf his obesity and resolves to remedy it, may "Join a gym," thus hoping to burn off the fat. . ,It can be done, but it Is a hard task, and one that Is not without danger. Not uncommonly tho vital organs, and particularly tho circulatory sys tem of the obese person, have al ready been subjected to undue strain, Tho added burden does them no good. A certain amount of exercise is desirable for its psychologic and tonic effect. An excess is Injurious. Of interest, too, Is the fact that strenuous physical efforts tend to defeat the ond of weight reduction, for they lncreaso appetite and lead to overeating. The obese person must count on a limited energy Intako for the loss of fat, Rapid reduction is possible when the, food consumption per day is con fined to from GOD to 1000 calories. Such a diet can only pe taken on prescription, for to be safe it must be balanced, "118 MKN" IN SPAIN TERUED, Spain (PJA parallel was enacted here to the "no news' story of the farmer who returned from a trip to learn from his hired man first that "the dog died" and ultimately that his family had per ished in a fire which destroyed his house, barns and livestock. Valentine Castano, contractor, ran over a dog here. The animal's owner, Zenon Colos, municipal Judge of Slngra, struck through the windshield with a cane and blinded tho contractor in one eye. Alejandro Perez, chauffeur for Costanto, ripped a. fender off the maenme ana Kiiiea ne judge. Perez Is In Jail, Castano In a hos pital and Colon In his grave. The dog was burled alongside the road.

PNEUMONIA Pneumonia ranks high, in the list of deadly enemies of the human race. Mqre than any other of the acute in fectious diseases It has resisted the advances of scientific medicine both In prevention and In treatment. It stll is one of the most frequent causes of death, and yearly in the United States exacts a toil of more than 100,000 lives. With the mor tality of the disease averaging from 25 to 40 per cent, this means that there are from 300,000 to 400,000 cases occurring every year, and with its' tendency toward complications such as lung abscess, abscess of the pleura (or empyema),' damaged hearts and tuberculosis, chronic In validism and indirect deaths, the evil record Is still more augmented.' More Prevalent In Early Montlia Statistics clearly indicate that near ly one half of all cases occur during! the months of January, February and March, showing a definite relation ship to exposure to cold and wet. While the disease ocours everywhere In the United States, it is more fre quent in the cities, probably as ale? suit of overcrowding, bad ventilation and the more or less definitely es tablished contagious character of pre disposing colds, ' The term "pneumonia' Is loosely used and Includes several diseases differing in their cause and varying considerably in their seriousness. The one constant feature of all Is the .congestion and solidification of a portion or portions of tho lung tis sue; the serious results depend on the amount of consolidation, the poi sonous character, of the germ causing the inflammation and, .abpve wl. pn the character of the body resistance Of the patient. ' ' . For Instance, a , common type Is the one following ordinary colds or bronchitis, and, la merely an exten sion of the .lnflammatiqn tp Bmall areas here and there throughput the lungs,' It occurs 'frequently in chil dren and In elderly persons. ; If the areas aueccea arp np t9 numer ous and if a child patient is vigorous, the outlook is usually favorable. If, on the other hand, the child 1b feeble, poorly nourished or the victim oY other weakening conditions, thp dis ease is much more serious and may do fatal.' Especiauy aoes tne poor circulation of the aged render this; condition serious and too often fatal, A second type occurs more or less accidentally after ether anesthesia, and is mistakenly called ether pneu monia. It is not actually the result of tho .other; If it were It would be much more frequent, considering the great number pi ether, administra tions occurring dally. It Is true, ether does cause a certain amount of local damage to the ' bronchial muc ous membrane, .hut thore must b,e in aauicion xno innaiauon 01 imiomma-' tory germs. Fortunately this is rarp, and .the results are not necessarily serious, depending largely on how Borlously the resistance Qf the patient has boon impaired by the operation, A third type Is really not a 'true pneumonia at all. It occurs in de billtted persons, usually sick from some other disease, who are allowed to lie too long In one position.

' h,k The Moat Serious Typo'7' ' j The really serious pneumonia, the great threat directly and indirectly" of death and Invalidism, Is actually a fipp&rate and distinct disease. It has a spdclal germ cause, the pneumoooc cus, and It runs a definite course with a distinct pllnlcal picture. It kills directly in two ways: first, by, the ' poisonous . effects of the germ, and, second, by aUacfclnpf the heart or bringing about complete exhaus tion of that organ. In the terrible Influenza epidemic of 1018, there was prevalent also an extremely virulent typp of this form 01 pneumonia ana xno aeatns irom influenza were really due to its coin cident presence. In that year alone more than 250,000 persons died from its Effects, mpro than dpublo the us ual rate. It was not at all uncom-1 mon In 1018 to see patients die after j two or three days' Illness, apparently simply overwhelmed by thp polsops produced by the germs. ! Ordinarily, the chief danger b frpm the later ef-, tects on the heart, and in tho ab sence of such an epidemic as In 1018 that Is tho chief , thing to be guarded against. That Is .why the physician carefully watchos the condition of the heart In a patient 111 with pneumonia and directs his treatment largely to ward elding and supporting the func tion of that organ. The treatment pf pneumonia, es pecially of this last named type. Is largely supportive it is a self-limited disease that l8f It runs a definite course of from seven to nln0 days and the main object Is to keep up tho patient's strength and help him overcomo the Infection. 1 j Many attempts to produce a spec ific serum have 'beeh made, and while some of these aro promising, unfor tunately thpy are most effectual In tho milder forms, which stand a good chance of recovory anyway. ' Compllcntloru Often Arise In tho severor forms, the results are not so favorable, but physicians are. hopeful that something will be found that will be more efficient; in fact such an outcome seems only a question pf time. There ar0 dangers other than the toxic action of the germ and Its ef fect on tho heart. The patient may Members of the Union County Medical La Grande G. L. Bisgers, M. D. Le 15. IJouvy, M. D. .1. J.

' ' I Sometimes after the crisis occurs, and the physician feels reassured as to the outcome, fever appears again, With possibly a chill; the patient complains of a pain In the side of ' tlie chest and examination . reveals fluid In the pleural cavity, necesslt-'--atmg puncture by a hollow needle, which reveals the presence of pus. ' This often requires - surgical aid, Bometlmes the removal of a 'portion of one or more ribs to , allow for drainage. This procedure is usually successful and life Is saved, but often a long period of invalidism and, at ' best, a prolonged period of convales cence result. Danger f Tuberculosis . Still; a third danger remains, and ' that is a distinct possibility of tu berculosis. The convalescence of all pneumonia cases must be closely watched for thjs danger, and every measure taken to protect the patient and restore his bodily vigor and re- , sistance as promptly as possible. ' In the matter of prevention also. the physician Is handicapped. Lobar pneumonia is definitely a germ dis ease and the germ Is evidently wide-; spread. , It is not infrequently found In the throats and nasal cavities , of healthy persons, who are carriers of potential Infection. ' ' Evidently there must be more than the mere presence of the germ, and . this must be a lpwerlng of the In dividual's resistance, most commonly by exposure to cold and wet. This 'Is What makes the disease so much more frequent in January, February and March. . .v ' It Is tp be hoped -that soon there will be developed a protective serum -that w'H guard against this grim destroyer. At present, the doctor can merely advise against "exposure1 and catching cold. One should dress sen-. slbiy and properly, avoid going about witn damp ciotning, guara against wet feet and drafts, and avoid close -contact with those with active colds in the head or coughs. ' In the meanwhile, research workers are actively working in the hope of presenting something morp definite and morp positive in the way of pre ventioh of this dreaded disease.
