DAWES KBHIGNS '
WASHINGTON, Jan. 0 (P) Chares
G. 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.
Mr. Berry hopes to get a heavier plow
to: push' back Accumulated ridge at
each, side of the road, and then he
says; he can take oare Pf fouT feet
more of snowfall, It It comes.
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. ' Moderately cold weather
prevailed in late November and early
December but since then tog and
clouds have been common and the
thermometer has stayed well above
zero.
It Is supposed that the mountains
are buried under deep snow but no
measurements have been reported.

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

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. Iti
such persons the circulation is poor,
and the blood collects in the depen
dent pprtlpns pf the iiuigs. Jt .may
be prevented by attention to the fro-;
qujerit changing of posture and by
watcmng and stimulating the circula
tion, occasionally, however, in the
aged or debilitated, ' pneumonia of;

termination. , . '
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

ways a serious complication and ac
counts for a definite number of the ;
fatalities. . ' ' I
Sometimes after the crisis occurs,

to the outcome, fever appears again,

complains of a pain In the side of '

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

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.
