FIGHTING
OVERNOR. Murray of Oklahoma is a persistent cuss. lie
now issues another ultimatum that unless oil prices rise
to $1 a barrel by Saturday night he will by executive order,
supported by the militia, shut down ALL the oil wells in his
state. .
The low price of oil has already shut down 95 per cent of
the oil wells. But thanks to the largo Texas supply, oil remains
dirt cheap. , , , , ( . ,
'( v lint taking their cue from (Tiill Murray, local orchardists
might proclaim that unless the' price of 'peni"s r'men to $5 per
box f. o. b. by midnight Saturday, they will ahem"! go to bed
and sleep as soundly as the weather man will permit.
This will help the price of pears, about as much as Bills'

OCEAN FLYING A
DILOT Cramer and his radio operator have been given up
for lost. 'There is still a chance they may be found alivfi,
but it is a very slim one.
Their apparent fate, again demonstrates that safety in
ocean flying is almost entirely a matter of the weather. Trag
edies duo to engine trouble or mechanical defects, arc nowadays
very rare. But overtaken by a sudden storm at sea, few air
planes survive.
Had Iceland as efficient a weather bureau as New York
City, there is little doubt tlint Cramer would be alive today.
But there was no Dr. Kimball on the job. Cramer had to post
pone his flight or take a chance. '
He decided to take a chance and he lost. All- of which
emphasi.es the fact that in regions where weather reports are
meagre, ocean flying, at the present' status of airplane develop
ment, is too hazardous for the average aviator to undertake.
Until a chain of efficient weather bureaus circle the world,
or until the airplane .is improved to the point where it can
successfully outride an ocean gale, long flights a'cross the water
should never be taken on "chance" but should always await
fair weather,'' ' V '.' - - ;

"In the long run, this country Is not going to be a good place
for any of us to live In, unless It Is a good place for all of us to
live in."
TIIAT wise statement was niade by the late Theodore Roose-
volt many years ago. It was truo then, if is even truer
today. ..'.''. ; ,. (
For with five or six million Americans willing to work but
unable to do so, this country faces a critical winter. For them,
this country, can't appear to foe a good place to live in. It
seoms to us plain, that it is up to the other 115,000,000 people,
to make it for. them, a good place, to live in.' . - '-- .,'
And that means giving work to those who want to work,
as far as such a thing is possible. And beyond that it means,
giving those not provided for, sufficient food and warmth to
survive the winter. ' - j. " ; .';" .'v,:-' "'
Toward this end priyato charity can dp niif,. will do a
great deal. But most' exertngi'oetrivafo iehawty chn't do

The government must help, and by government,' we mean
ALL government, not only local and state but fedetnh -
VTK'i, this will mean higher taxes. But we don't agree and
never have' agreed with those who maintain tjjp'.,-' vital
problem at the present time is to keep taxes down. The VITAL
PROBLEM IS TO SAVE MEN WHO ARE WILLING TO
WORK, FROM; SUFFERING AND WANT PERHAPS IN
CERTAIN DISTRICTS FROM ACTUAL STARVATION.
In other words the country faces a crisis, and this crisis
must be met. Conditions hero undoubtedly are better than
perhaps in any other section of the country, but even here,
some organized action should be taken.
IT IS really not so much the spirit of benevolence that should
be appealed to as tho spirit of enlightened self-interest. As
President Roosevelt said, this country won't be a good placo
for ANY of us to live in until it is a good place for ALL of us
to live in. i ' -
If we aro to save American institutions, we must find a way
to make them serve the ends of justice and well being. It is
not a local, but a national problem. Anil in our opinion every
section of tho land, must join with every other in securing its
immediate and successful solution. . '? ..

HOMK TASKS.
By Alice Juilmn Ifale.
Fourteen-yesr-old Edna makes her
own bed. helpa mother dry the
dishes and dusts the family living
room. She does these things with
the worst possible grace, sullenly
and resentfully and under tha pres
sure of constant reminders.
These simple tasks, which, at 14,
Edna regards with such distaste,
she did eagerly at eight, proud ol
being "mother's helper," proud ol
her accomplishment and the re
sponsibility given her.
Her mother does not understsnd
why her attitude has so completely
changed. She does not realise thst,
what at eight represented achieve
ment, at M la the dullest of rou
tine. '
Children do not like to do the
same things over and over again.
They are able, only to a very small
extent, to accept chorea which are
merely routine.
It Is necessary for them to feel
Interest In the task Itself and to
know that as they prove able they
will be promoted to a more grown
up kind of responsibility.
Hsd Edna been taught, bit by bit.
to share In planning the family
meals, to help with the marketing,
to manage occasional Sunday sup
pers on her own. to check and put
away the linen returned from the
laundry, she would likely have con
tinued to ahow an Interest In more
lowly homemaklng tasks.
Home tasks should be apportioned
to children with something more
than mother's convenience In mind.
They should be regarded as a part
of the child's education In coopera

And he had told them that he

They did not know whether the

gloomy people or sulky children.
"Our captain has been careful to

will blow his vessel along, for not

PLEASE, WISEACRES,
It is absolutely safe for any intel
ligent person to visit a tuberculous
Invalid In the sanatorium or hospital
or In the patient's
home, provided
1. That kissing Is
barred.
3. That the pati
ent Is conscientious
enough and strong
enough to cover
nose and mouth if
It becomes necessary
to cough or sneeze.
3. That there be
no hand-saklng or
other actual'contact
with the patient, unless the visitor
immediately afterwards washes his
hands with soap and water, before
bringing them to or near his own
face or touching anybody else.
4. That the visitor remain through,
out the visit at least five feet away
from the patient, for if there Is no
Intervening mask or screen the pati
ent's conversational spray range Is up
to four feet.
Frequently people ask whether
there Is any risk Involved In buying
and using articles made by tubercu
lous Invalids, such as lamp shades,
bits of fancy work, objects of paper,
leather, cloth, metal, wood. Of course
there is no risk or danger involved
In buying or receiving and using
such objects, for there is not the
slightest evidence that tuberculosis
is ever spread by any object, even
though It be grossly contaminated.
Tubercle bacilli, in fact, do not sur
vive more than an hour on or In any
dry surface or substance, and many
careful tests have proved that . it Is
difficult or Impossible to Inoculate
even susceptible animals by Injection
Into their tissues dry scra'plngs from
the floor or furniture of rooms oc
cupied by tuberculous Invalids.
Here and there In benighted com
munities the polltclans In charge of
the public library Impose restrictions
on the use of 'books by tuberculous
persons. This Is as absurd as Is the
raising of a great stink In a library
In the name of disinfecting books
as a precaution agaln-t the spread
of disease these comical tapers are
done only, . as I say, In benighted
communities.
Nowhere In the workfc is one safer
against the chance of catching tuber
culosis than, in a well conducted tu
berculosis hospital- pr sanatorium, for
the simple reason, that everybody In
the Institution knows how to take
just Buch precautions as those above
described and does take Just such
core constantly, or If 'too 111 to do
so, then has the vigilant care of
nurse or attendant, who is of course
trained lri the technic .of asepsis.

knowledge the patient, even though
he be ever sq conscientious, could

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ;
Calcium Lactate for Asthma.
Following -your suggestion I went
to my druggist and he gave me four
grains of calcium lactate for my
daughter who has been suffering from
asthma for 10 years, She has taken
the treatment for four weeks, and
I am thankful for the first time In
10 years she now sleeps all night
without coughing. Should I con
tinue the treatment for 10 months?.
She Is 11 years old. Mrs. M. O.
Answer. I do not understand what
you mean, or why you got four grains
of the medlcne. The dose I suggested
is 10 grains two or three times dally
for a period of eight or ten weeks.
Calcium lactate may toe purchased
in tablets, which usually contain five
grains each. It' Is best taken dis
solved in water, and shortly after
meals. Sometimes It may upset the
stomach, but otherwise Is harmless.

may get as satisfactory examination
