According to the report of the American Edu cation society 1.5O0.000 youths, be tween the ages of 17 and 31 years have quit school to seek work, that la non-existent. This brings up an other question: How many other millions are seeking work because they know they can't find it. ER CHOICE OF 'HIT WEIMAR, Osrmany, Dee. t (AP) Adolf Hitler issued a statement to day declaring tlx National Socialist party wm refuse to-tolerate a cabi net headed by Oenerai Kurt Von Schleicher. Several times In the last two weeks he haa aald hla party will co-operate with no government except one headed by himself. BERLIN, Dec. 3-1 AP)Preadnt Von Hlndenburg today asked General Kurt Von Schleicher, "mystery man" In Oerman politics and at present the defense minuter, to form a presl dentlal cabinet for the republic. Oenerai Von Schleicher has been regarded aa the almost certain choice for the chancellorship ever since Chsncellor Frana Von Pape'a Junker government stepped out after last month's election. Organized Labor Is Right "VRGANIZED labor repeats its unalterable hostility ot com munism and at the same time demands the recognition of Soviet Russia. Only to superficial or hopelessly prejudiced minds, could such a stand be regarded as inconsistent. Organized labor has no use America have no use for it. of Americanism, its principles and ideals are diametrically op posed to those principles and ideals which have made America great. But the people of Russia have a different idea. They adopt ed a communistic form of government, and that form of govern ment has been functioning for over a decade. There is every reason to believe it will continue to function for many years to come. It is, in other words, a government de facto. , "ORGANIZED labor believes the people of Russia have just " as much right to the form of government THEY desire, as the people of America have to the form of government THEY desire. Organized labor believes Uncle Sam has no more right to prescribe the form of internal government the Russian people MUST have, than the Russian people have a right to prescribe the form of government the American people MUST have. This is not only perfectly political ideal, .which more than any other, forms the very cor nerstone of a free and independent government, and is most deeply imbedded in American principles and traditions. There are strong forces in tion of Russia. It is doubtful if session of congress. But in the labor has shown the way. John Bull TpiIIS much may be said for foul, it ever remains the "gentleman." Take the matter of war debts, for example. England poured out more of its treasure to finance the world war than "nv other country in Europe. It $2,845,000,000 to Franco; $2,713,000,000 to Italy, and more - .... . . I uI4uli' w nuiauci- uuuuuica mnr titt t tato It borrowed from the United States a little over $4,000,000, 000. But to date it has paid back to this country about $2,000, 000,000 by far the greatest sum paid the United States by any European, power. More than that. It not only assumed the greatest proportion of its original war debt to this country did this voluntarily, but it accepted the highest rate of interest, 3.3 percent, com pared to 1.8 percent for Belgium and less than one-half of one percent for Italy. . A ND now, while it asks for postponement of the December 15 installment and re-examination of the entire debt ques tion, it refuses to suggest repudiation; in fact tacitly admits that if Amoric insists upon that December 15th payment, Eng land will hand it over. i Say what will about "Perfidious Albion" when it comes to matters involving business integrity or national honor, John Bull never plays the welcher. In prosperity or adversity, the old boy is always there, meticulously adhering to the stan dards and the principles of the "perfect gentleman" of the oid school. , Passing PRESIDENT-ELECT ROOSEVELT S hope that "farm relief will be disposed of at the lame duck session," will not be realized. The statement in fact, might better have been left unsaid. For it represents a certain Inck of candor on the part of tho next president of the United inferenco he attempts to place and the calling of an extra session upon the shoulders of the Hoover administration. Everyone, including Governor Roosevelt, knows that this lamo duck session will be long on talk, but short on action. If it docs anything DEFINITE regarding beer, war debts and the budget, it will accomplish more lieve likely. fV all questions coming before it, farm relief is the most v' complex, the most involved, the "most difficult to handle. A definite program, by no stretch of the imagination could he perfected during the short December session. In fact no attempt in that direction should be made. The present administration has not only been repudiated, but its farm relief program has been one of the strongest counts against it. Not a government in which the people have lost confidence, but a government in which they have expressed confidence, should have both the opportunity nnd the responsibility of solving this important and perplexing problem.

THE UNCONSIDERED SOURCE OF INFECTION A correspondent says he was call ing on a friend who haa pulmonary tuberculosis. Her friend asked for her telephone num ber. The visitor wanted to write the t e 1 e p hone number o n i card. The Invar Id handed her I pencil, without thinking ot what she was doing the visitor put the point of the pencil upon her Hps or tongue m moisten it. now she is alarmed and wishes to know what precaution she can take to prevent Infection. Too late I Too late I If the lad? is destined to contract tuberculosis from her sick friend the infection probably occurred while she was ohsttlng with the patient and before sne used the pencil at aU. Of course It Is possible that the patient had Just moistened the ;lp of the pencil with her aallva, and, If her tuberculosis Is active, some bac 1111 may have been deposited on the pencil tip. But event If a transfer of tubercle bacilli were accomplished In mis indirect way, It It highly lm probable that they can gain a foot hold In the body of the visitor. Even few moments of exposure of the tuberole bacilli to the baneful ef fects (to them) of dryness, daylight and the comparatively low room tem perature (which is far below what tubercle bacilli are accustomed and require It they are to live or innve), renders the germs lnnacu- ous if it does not kill thorn. Assuming the patient has active tuberculosis (snd therefore tubercle bacilli' are being given off in the aputum), if a visitor stands or sits within five feet the visitor Is being sprayed with a spray of moisture or mucus droplets, most of them Invis ibly minute, some of them perhaps containing tuberole bacilli, all the while the patient chats with her. That is the usual mode of Infec tion with any or all respiratory In fections, I believe. The public haa been fairly well edu cated about the danger of the spray of coughing or sneezing, but I con tend that the health authorities have aubordlnated publlo welfare to their own popularity or their reluctance to offend some prudish dictate of good taste. At any rate they have remain ed silent about tho danger of con versational spray, and there can be no reasonable question that this Is quite as dangerous as cough or Sales Tax With Shelter Exemption Is Explained In Series of Short Articles, J. C Barnes Explains Details of His Proposal to Lighten Tax Burden on Workers XIII Conclusion Homea In the city and farm units In the country occupied by the owner shall be exemption from state, coun ty and school taxes to the asseased value of gl&OO. A general sales tax of two per cent or such amount aa la found necessary shall be levied on all commodltlea sold by retail stores to replace taxes now levied on "shelter value" In homes. 1. Taxes on shelter are In fact aa well as In theory a salea tax on a poor man'a prime necessary, shelter, amounting at the present time to a twenty per cent tax on one fourth of all his expenditures, since the poor man, or man of moderate Income, spends one fourth ot all his Income for ahelter. 3. This uneconomic salea tax on shelter carries with It an extra burden of Interest. This excess burden of Interest on a two thousand dollar In vestment In a home amounts to from SSO.OO to 1 20.00 annually. This add ed to the tax burden of 160.00 on ahelter brings the total amount up to U0.00 to S1BO 00 annually, this barra the poor man from home ownership. 9. It la aa heavy a weight on the back of the farmer. It places a tax where no ability Is shown to pay taxes. It, prevents land from becom ing a "sanctuary of man." It prevent land from becoming a refuge a re treat for mankind. 4. "Shelter value." 11500 assessed value, Indicate no ability to pay taxes snd should not be tsxed.

It would put home ownership within ths reach of every citizen In the slate. It would make It possible for ths unemployed to get busy at home development and land settlement.

Among Intelligent or polite people open face coughing or sneezing Is now ss unpardonable as Is spitting on the floor, still there are plenty of boors who do not hesltste to cough or sneeze on the back of the neck of the person Just ahead in church, m the theater or in other publlo gather ings. It Is the consensus of medical opinion. I think, that single Isolated Infections, such as the lady may have suffered by the bad habit of moisten ing the pencil with tongue or lips, do not produce tuberculosis. It Is neces sary that the Infection be frequently repeated over a period of time, as by chumming with one who has the disease. In any circumstance where expo sure to crl Is concerned beware of the conversational apray.
