precisely what we are not doing. UNLESS there is some
disposition to fight fire with fire, on the part of the mid-west

citizenry.

THE HYOIENE OF SWIMMING.
A correspondent writes that he has
been a life guard and a pool mana
ger for several years and has rescued
a number of vie
tlms and has seen
msny others res
cued. Once In i
while such a res
cued person
claims to have
suffered leg
cramps. The cor
respondent has
never seen
heard of a case of
stomach cramps,
however. He has
questioned many
other life guards about thla and none
of them has observed such a case,
either. He says the Red Cross pam-
nhlet No. 1003 states that cramps are
due to eating lust neiore swimming.
The only 111 effect he has observed
from swimming Immediately alter
eattne Is nausea or upset stomacn,
and In such Instances invariably the
individual has Just eaten a breakfast
of sausage and pancakes, or a big
highly seasoned hamburger sandwich
or "hot dog."
The Red Cross pamphlet Is probably
written by some nice old gentleman
of some social prominence, or else
by some bright but Inexperienced
young chap who Is the protege of
some social leader who Is a big noise
in the organization. At any rate the
notion that any evil comes from en-
Joying a swim Immediately after
meal Is without foundation in fact,
Mere common sense. If not stomach
sense tells you to avoid any unneces
sary effort of any kind Immediately
after a big gorge. But unless you
are an Invalid In which case your
own doctor is your best adviser
there Is no reason why you shouldn't
go right In after breakfast after lunch
or after dinner.
As the correspondent's observations
and inquiries Indicate, the occurrence
of cramps of any kind is a question
able inference. It Is an inference
one commonly made to eplatn other
wise Inexplicable drowning of a good
swimmer.
Any one who attempts a hard or
long effort In very cold water Is cer
tain to tire more quickly than he
would In warmer water, and when
complete exhaustion comes there may
be a sensation of cramping In the
powerless muscles. However, this is
not a cause of drowning. Cramps
Just don't happen except in morbid
Imagination.
No room here to discuss the various
disease conditions or accidents which
may cause sudden drowning of a
good swimmer. Suffice that these
cases are frequently ascribed to
"cramps."
NEW YORK
DAY BY DAY
BY O.O.Mclntyre
NEW YORK, April 30. The pala
ver turned to coincidence. And I
related this. During the Chicago
World's Fair my father registered at
the Great Nor
thern from his
home town,
Plattsburg, Mo.
He noticed Im
mediately above
his signature that
of "E. O. Hall,
Plattsburg," a
gentleman my
father knew.
In his room, he
phoned to Mr.
Hall. A voice he
did not recognise
said he was Mr.
Afo ri
Hall. Father explained who he was
snd exchanged salutations of the dsy.
The Mr. Hall waa courteous but vague.
He did not recall knowing an H. B,
Mclntyre. "You are B. C. Hall, the
lawyer from Plattsburg h?" my father
inquired.
The response waa affirmative. My
father explained again who he was.
Still there was indecision so my
father Inquired: "Let me get this
right, you are B. C. Hall, the lawyer
from Pittsburgh In Clinton county?"
The gentleman replied he was and
would come to my fathers room.
They met and were perfect
strangers. The comedy of errors had
resulted from the fact that not once
had the state of Mlsaourl been men
tioned. The bewildered gentleman
waa B. C. Hall, a lawyer from Pitts
burgh, which la In Clinton county,
New York. A further coincidence, as
I recall, was that both had been
mayors of their cities.
At the Oerdee in Cincinnati, a ren
deavous for visiting ball teams and
vaudeville folk, there was a blunder

The correspondent says my com
ment about the sanitation of swim
ming pools startles him. The pool
he has charge of has only filtered
water, and Is clarified by alum and
soda ash and disinfected by chlortna
tlon, and regular bacteriological tests
show negative germ count. Bo what
diseases can possibly be caught by
swimming In such a pool?
The answer Is that the method of
sanitation seems as good as It can be,
yet If John Jones and I happen to
enter the pool at the same time and
John or I happen to have any little
communicable condition we are likely
to share It, regardless of how clear
and pure the water may be. The
more persons patronising the pool the
greater the risk involved.
Could you catch the crl In such a
clean pool as the correspondent de
scribes? Aye, aye, and a few other
diseases besides.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. '
Dlathermv tor Painful Shoulder.
Please tell me Just what your opin
ion of diathermy Is for dissolving
calcified bursa In the shoulder.
Mrs. F. E.
Answer In my opinion the best
treatment for such bursitis (painful
shoulder) Is a series of dally appll'
cations of diathermy. If that falls
to cure the trouble In two weeks,
then It Is In order to consider surgical
removal of the affected bursa, usually
the sudeltolt or subacromial pad Just
under the tip of shoulder. Clarifica
tion of the bursa (as shown In the
X-ray film) doesn't signify much,
for calcification may remain long
after the trouble Is cured, or
clarification may ahow In spite of
severe bursitis. When diathermy falls
to relieve the attack, the only alter
native Is manipulation of the stiff
shoulder to break up adhesions. That
requires general anesthesia, and If
the patient Is going to take an anes
thetic It Is Just as well to remove the
bursa and be done with It.
Snuff.
Friend used snuff for years, but
gave It up a while ago. He claims
It seemed to clear his head. Re Is
professional singer. He thinks be
will resume using snuff. Please tell
me whether it Is Injurious. E. P.
Answer According to recent maga
zine article there Is still several mil'
lion dollars spent for snuff each year
In the United States. Most users
chew a smsll cud of It, but a few
snuff It In the traditional way. Its
effect, however used, Is the same as
chewing or smoking.

Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
IF YOU are a regular subscriber of
this newspaper, your way of life Is
probably pretty well settled. You may
lack many of the comforts of life, and
even some of the necessities we or
dinary people are getting used to that
after four years of depression.
But at least you know pretty well
where you are going to sleep tonight,
and what you are going to do tomo
row. Including what you are going to
eat and where you are going to get It.
SO THIS question becomes perti
nent. How much do you know, if any,
about the life of the transients who
have become an Important class of
the population In these years of hard
times and scarce employment?
If you don't know as much as you'd
like to, It will pay you to go down
some representative street and ta?x
to the transient relief service of FERA
which means Federal Emergency Re
lief Administration.
You will learn plenty that is In
teresting. ffllTHAT kjnd of people do you deal
W with mostly?" this writer ask
ed the Southern' Oregon director of
transient relief, yesterday.
"All kinds," he answered. "We have
men with college degrees. Including
master's and doctor's degrees. We have
business men, clerks, government
workers, skilled laborers, common la
borers. "As a matter of fact, we deal here
In the transient relief bureau wltn
Just about an average cross-section of
life. We could take the people who
come to us and start an average com
munity, with about all the ordinary
businesses, professions, arts and trades
represented.
"Misfortune In this depression h.is
been an individual matter not
matter of class."
tfllTE DEAL, of course, pretty large-
" ly with the wreckage with
the flotsam on the stream of life
That Is apparent from our name-
transient relief service. The people
who come to us have been shaken
loose. In some way or other, by some
shock or other, from the ordinary,
settled ways of living.
But when you come to know thel:
problems, you find that they are just
common, average human beings af
ter aU.
"Our Job Is to help them back to a
settled way of living, and It Is an In
teresting Job. After some time spent
at it, I think It is an Important J jb
more Important than a lot of peo
ple realize."
THERE is a lot of talk going around
1 to the effect that those on re
lief, transient or otherwise, don't real
ly want to work, but prefer to draw
their rations from the government,
without effort or responsibility. Th.'s
director doesn't take much stock in
this talk.
Ninety per cent of those who come
to us," he says, "genuinely want to
work end earn their own way in the
world. They don't want relief. They
want JOBS'. They want to know again
that they are earning their own way
in the world.
"The Job of reabsorbing these trans-
tents Into Industry Isn't going to be
half as big as a lot of people try to
tell us It will be."

ttllTHAT trade, profession, or busl
Tf ness Is most numerously repre
sented among those who come to

"I don't think I can answer that,1
the director answered with a grin.
"because I don't really know.
"There aren't many editors, how
ever," he added.
- can't find time to be transients
Although a lot of them would like
to be. There's alwaya too much to be
done around a newspaper although
what there Is to be done isn't always
profitable.
"I
REALLY think." the director
says, "that cooks are about as
numerous as anybody coming to us.
I don't know just why that should
be. and I don't even know positively
that It Is true. But a lot of cooks do
come to us here In the transient re
lief. I reckon one reason Is that cooks
are temperamental. They are ART
ISTS, with the true artistic tempera

"Anyway, we get a lot of cooks."
TJOUSEWTVES who cook three meals

year in and year out, probably won't
find It hard to understand that state
ment. Many of them, possibly most, In all
probability, have seen moments when
throwing up the Job and gofrg -ut
vagabonding, with no responsibilities
no meals to prepare, no dishes to
wash would have seemed like heaven.
But they evidently restrain them
selves at these moments, for the cooks,
fererred to aren't of the housewife
kind. There are practically no house
wives among the transients,
BUT this column 'is running into a

In the following statement:
"Wanted editorials that help to put
teeth into law-enforcement."
I would supggest to the writer of
this article that over the United
States today as well as In Oregon,
that the law-enforcement In protec
tion of the power Interests will never
lack for teeth.
It seems only too evident that there
will be provided a powerful pair of
false teeth to put a wicked bite Into
the "so-called" legal procedure In
behalf of the power octopus.
The editor's note asks "Does our
correspondent make no distinction
between murder and stock manipu
lation?" I would suggest to the editor that
the type of stock manipulation In
dulged In by Samuel Insull and many
others of his ilk who are still at large,
is Indirectly responsible for the death
of thousands.
Does the editor condone the mur
derer only when he la at a safe dis
tance from his victims and the deed
more decorously consummated?
It Is becoming more and more ap
parent to the American public that,
any champion of the citizenry who
has the temerity to expose the cor
rupt practices and tyranny, yea, even
terrorism of said utilities companies,
Is forthwith persecuted, robbed,
framed, trapped and railroaded to
some penitentiary. Such spectacles
have saddened thousands of citizens
not only in Oregon, but In Minne
sota also I find.
I have learned directly from TJ. S.
Rep. Shoemaker from Minnesota,
that he has been through the peni
tentiary mill for daring to expose
bank Irregularities In his state. The
banking system of our beloved coun
try and the utilities Interests It
seems click in perfect unison and are
blood brothers under the skin. The
whole country Is sick with the same
deadly disease.
Why cannot the press of the na
tion cease giving us the poison of
false propaganda for a cure? Give
us truth, for the blessed truth alone
can put real teeth Into all laws,
functioning alike for a beggar or an
Insull.
I realize in the light of recent his
tory in Jackson county that a "soft
ening" toward Samuel Insull would
be an altogether logical frame of
mind for the editor to possess.
However It takes many minds and
types to make a democracy, so I re
quest, yea I even challenge you to
print my communication anywhere
in your paper, no matter how obscure
the location.
Yours in behalf of Just law-en
forcement.
