SIDE GLANCES A NEV, A NEWSPAPER IS A CITIZEN OP ITS COMMUNITY HOLDING BACK WAR TTTHILiB the diplomats are still talking about abiding by the terms of the Knllogj pact and trying to devise ways and means of getting the Chinese-Russian disputes settled amicably, the guns are beginning to roar along the Manchurlan front. The situation does not seem to argue very strongly for the practicability of the peace agencies and It seems to sustain the contention of many people that mere declarations such as the Kellogg pact are a very thin protection against explosive mass animosities. a It should be remembered, however, that the conditions In Manchuria make It exceedingly hard to obtain perfect control during the difficult period of diplomatic maneuvering. Neither Russia nor China has a government capable of rigorous control of either the populations or the armed forces along the border. Among the Chinese especially, large numbers of armed but relatively undisciplined troops ara under the louse leadership of more or less Irresponsible local chieftains. The so-called "white guards," exiled Russians nd others are little beyond th status of brigands. The soviet forces In the area are only poorly controlled. It Is an altogether different ultuatlca from what would bo presented If the dispute were between two strongly governed nations wllh armed forceB trained to the strictest obedience to orders. ,. It Is doubtful If border clashes can be prevented and thoy may grow much worse than they have been before they are checked. But there Is still a great deal of hope that formal war to the death between the two huge nations can be averted. The border bloodshed will make the process ot settlement much more difficult than otherwise, but nothing has yet occurred, so far as we xnow, to alter the Intentions of the national leaders to seek peaceful adjustment. And as a powerful force In the background Is the overwhelming world-wide sentiment against seeing these people hurled Into real war. . "POOR THING 1" TXTE are used to reading about men who go to their death in airplanes.

It required the flu epidemic last winter to make everybody realise how shamefully the facilities for taking care of the university's sick have been outgrown. The buildings of a modern Infirmary to safeguard the health and strength of the young men and women who come here for education Is Just another one of the extremely necessary steps toward making the university en Institution by which tie slate and the city will one day be known far and wide. .. a.i,TS' Mwidl",ateh" I- Bnook will have ninety day. till his execution.

MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the Amerioan Medical Association and of Hy gela, the Health Magazine VJOST people think that the oxy gen they breathe ii the im portant factor in regulating their respiration. Lrs. Yandell Henderson and Howard W, IlaKgard ot the de partment of physiology in Yale Uni versity point out that oxygen is the fundamental controlling factor in the adjustment of breathing. If a person fa suddenly deprived of oxygen, he breathes more rap- idly, but the oxygen reserve In the human body is email and if we were dependent on oxygen to regu late our breathing the rate and rhythm of inspiration would be very uneven. I hiring ordinary breathing, the lungs contain about Si quarts of air, of which 10 per cent ls'oxygen. There are in the human being about five quarts of blood. The blood In the arteries contains a Unit 19 per rent of oxygen and that in the veins about 15 per cent. The real regulator of breathing Is not the oxygen breathed In, but the Pressure of carbon dioxide that Hppenu to be passing through the lungs. The carbon dioxide is the end product offc. breathing. Tit mess of carbon dioxide held in the body is large aa compared with the oxygen. Every movement of the body or bill the Republicans cooked up would not be opposed hy as much aa a corporal's guard. It was also an accepted suppo sition that the country at large was ao thoroughly aold on protection that any new tsriff bill, no mat ter how high Its scale of duties, would be greeted by hoSHtiuas from the hoiiRotops and public thanksgiving meetings at the town pump. Sky Was the Limit Serenely confident that nil these things were true, the rulers of the House of Representatives jammed through a tariff bill with the slo gan that the sky' was the limit and no one eiiwota any further trou ble, though tt was supported the hard-boiled Republican majority on the Senate finance rommittee would adopt a general program of further elevation. Welt already the bill has been for some time In a terrible jam and when Uie fitmuce committee's bill hits the Semite floor it prob ably will entr a period of macera tion. No man knoweth the final outcome, but all sensible persons have had to readjust their views aliout the tariff ns su issue. In the firm place, a swell fight has developed. In the second place, the tariff Is as much a party issue as it ever wan. Oemoeratio national head quarters has been issuing unremit ting daily blasts against tfie House bill and the Reput'limus of the fi nance committee, for months. Most 1 democratic senators have spon sored biting and withering denun ciations of the bill and Republican intentions in general. It actually looks as if the I democrats were more effectively united aptnM the House bill or anything like it than they have been on any other issue in the lust several years. Newspapers Critical In the third place and most Im portant the country is not In any receptive mood. By such means as the country is able to protest it has been squawking steadily and some time ago word came from the White House that a study of clippingi shoned nine mil of ten newspapers actually critical. Th effect of this popular dis approval of many of the proposed increases is plainly to be seeu in the swt'M tings sod wnthings of Senators Smoot. Heed. Wat.vou and other RepuNican leaders uow wretlit'ir wgh the bill. The fight on the 1 louse provi sions ha-t come from many sourc es from powerful corporations acting in self interest and from the most altruistic sources at the snuie tune. The sugar trust, made up principally of American interests operating in Cuba, led the fight on the House three-cent sugar rate, aided enthusiastically by the car Nniated heverage bottlers, unself ish individuals nd organisation ueienmng tne interests of the con sumer Pruning Under Pressure I'nder this sort of combined pressure. Snio.it. Reed.

This carbon dioxide Is carried by the blood to a place in the hrais which conliols the activities of the mus cles' of the cheBt and the dia phragm. Hence it .controls the rate and rhythm of respiration. To prove the fact, the experi menters cuuaed men to breathe pure oxygen. The rate and the rhythm of respiration were not aflected or but slightly decreased and a little more oxygen was tak en up by the body. If, however, a small amount of carbon dioxide is added to the mixture, the volume of breathing is increased almost immediately, although the rate doco not increase greatly. The experiment can be done by the averuge mai, In thia way: For half a minute he forces himself to breathe more deeply and at least as rapidly but not much more rap idly than he usually does. By this means, the lungs are over-ventilated and the carbon dioxide con tent of the blood is temporarily de creased. Wihen this voluntary ef fort ia stopped there follows, in most people, a complete stopping of the desire to breathe. This period varies in length according to the length of the period of over breathjng that produced it. just as sweet as possible under the circumstances. Apparently the plan as It will finally work out will give the Ben ate a bill with bigger and better agricultural duties than the House bill. That will tend to appease the farmers and make the bill look more like the measure President Hoover intended It to be. On ton of that the finance committee will undoubtedly toss overboard quite a few of the tariff -seeking inter ests whose resultant squawks will be politically unimportant. The subsequent hiatory of the hill will depend on how many Dem ocrats and Progressives turn out to be willing to trade. There is a rumor that the Republican com mittee members plan to knock out various southern agricultural prod ucts from the House bill In order to make some of the Democrats come to terms. TODAY IS THHJ ANNIVERSARY OF SLAVERY DEBATES fS Aug. "Jl, J8T.8, Abraham Un- coin and his great rival, Steph en A. louslss, began their series of seven debates on the question of slavery. The seven places, one In each Illinois congressional district, and the dates were: Ottawa, Aug. 21; Kreeport, Aug. lit; Joneaboro, Sept. Ift; (talesburg. Oct 7; CJuln cy. Oct. 13, and Alton. Oct. 16. In the famous Kreeport debate, Lincoln asked: 'Tan the people of a United States territory, in any lswful way, against the wishes of any citizen of the United States, exclude slavery from its limits, prior to the formation of a state constitution?" If iVuglas answered No, he would deny his pet doctrine of pop ular sovereignty; if he answered Yes, he would antagonise the dom inant politicians of the south, led by Jefferson I -avis, who maintained that the only power that could deal with slavery was the municioal power of a state, and furthermore he would set the local authority of the territory above the Supreme Court which had declared slavery legal in all the territories ef the lited States hy tke Drtd Jtvott decision.
