In an office 100 by 100 feet we have perbap 390 people, plaintiff areri. And of the 350 perhapa 248 have cold, him aelf Included (with alncere apologle for the word). About 900 of them refuae to have a win dow open from 0 a.m. to ftp. m. for fear of d r a f t for It seems every one of them know, a o m e one who got pneumonia Irom Juat aucb a draft. It' a million dollar concern but the corporation will not provide ventilator for the lower part of the window. All thl aad tate of affalra 1 reported from Brooklyn famous a the home of the Dodger. Plaintiff pray that or Doe Brady will throw discretion to the wind and give 'em helgh-de-ho about fresh air. No, thank you, I have learned by bitter experience that It Is a mis take to Jump smongst a lot of old ladles like that and try to tell them air Is harmless even when it move perceptibly. They know better, and they Just put me down as an utter Ignoramus or anything but a wise doctor. They declare I have no sym pathy for the frailties of the aged and they thank heaven real doctors are not so hard-boiled. So far be It from me to utter any comments If a parcel of old ladles In Brooklyn choose to In dulge In a little practice In dodging. Why, If I were to crack a smile about the quaint custom of dodging drafts I'd not only catch It from the 350 old ladles who work In the B k, f(, ut lrk m nice old doctors who use the cold obseaslon to cover their incompe tence In dlRgnosla. The plaintiff expresses the opinion that the germs floating In ft draft are less dangerous than the germs In ft person's nice warm breath. Disease germs do not float about In drafts or in expired air. The reason why the crl prevails among the 250 people who work In the Brooklyn office Is propinquity. With so many persons crowded to gether In a room, regardless of ven tilation, each person who comes to work with a "slight cold" exposes dozens to the Infection, especially any one with whom he or she con verses. The crl (any of the down or more common respiratory infections In the early stage before you can tell which It will prove to be) Is spread chiefly in the conversational spray, which carries less than five feet Juat far enough to pepper ft person across the desk, counter or aisle. The bacteria or virus Is In the minute, perhaps invisibly fine droplets of moisture, not free In the air. And drafta, my dear old ladles In Brooklyn or elsewhere, have noth- i Ing to dr with the crl.

Pfasleys Studio, Comment on the Day's News Bf FRANK JENKINS MORE leagu of nations stuff which would be getting tiresome if It weren't so cynlcalljr funny. This dispatch from London, for sx- ampls A prominent member of the league of nations council predicted tonight that the league would re move all sanction (boycotts) from Italy In order to obtain a unanimous condemnation of Germany for de nounclng the Locarno treaty. ' - N ORDER to understand that dl- patch, you must read thl one In connection with It: "Ambassador Orandt (Italian am basador at London) declares that Italy fully recognizes that Germany had committed a treaty violation, but added: You cannot expect my country After what happened at Geneva, to take any measures which are Incompatible with or in contra- diction to our ideas'." T'KE bearded Orandl (who will be remembered by newereel audi ences a the leader of the flight of Italian plane to this country a year or ao ago) added that Italy recog nlzea there has been a treaty breach by Oermany but bluntly warned the league council It could not expect any help from Italy until Italy1 rights" in the Italo-Ethlopan dis pute have been recognized and "In Justices" removed. THAT la. Italy aay to the league: "Sure. Germany is a treatv vio lator. We can see that as well as you. But If you think we're going to help YOU boycott HER while YOU'RE boycotting US, you're crazy I So the league of nation, which Is vastly more Interested in what Is happening along the Rhine than In any helpless little nation like Ethio pia, Is apparently preparing to aay to Italy: "All right, If that's the wsy you feel about It, GO AHEAD and butcher the poor devils of Ethiopians. and take their country away from them and do with It as you please. WHATEVER YOU DO In Ethiopia I all right with ua It only you'll help us out of the hole Germany has put us In." COLD-BLOODED, you say? Of course It Is. The nation ot Europe are utterly selfish and cold blooded. So It follows that the league, which is dominated by the great nations of Europe, ia selfish and cold blooded also, resdy to cut ANY BODY'S throat If throat-cutting seems at the moment the easiest way out of whatever Jam la threatening. All the fine words about "rights of small nations" that were Indulged In back In the days when they were trying to ENTICE US IN were Just cheese to bait the trap for the fool ish Amerlcsns. ABOUT the luckiest thing thst ever happened to us was keeping out of the league of nations. If the sentimentalists and Idealists (alncere, probably, but mlslrd by enthusiasm. sentimentalists and Idealists so often sre) had auoceeded In pushing u Into the league, we would be in fine mess now. DIFFICULTIES FACED BUILD UP CHARACTER SAYS REV. PETERSON "No life could have seemed more ft failure than that of Jesus of Naza reth", Rev. R. a. Pe tenon told the congregation at the First Presbyter Ian church Sunday. 'Undoubtedly His neighbors In that little Galilean town who witnessed the suffering of His ministry must have felt at the time of Hla death that If only he had been content to be a good car penter, He could still have been liv ing quietly and successfully with His family In Narareth. "But though Hla motives were not ven understood by His intimates. Jesus met all of the untoward cir cumstances of His lite with a face of flint. Though He knew It to be the city of Hla doom, he set His face steadfastly toward Jerusalem. That was the source of His strength, the secret of His mlnUtry of suffering.

For some days now these wise ones have been working toward retention of the existing corporate tax struc ture, with something like an earnings tax on top of It. Something like that will come out of congress In the end. A person vei close to Mr. Hoover says the Palo Alto political promoter Is not exactly pleased with the wa; Governor Landon la conducting his campaign. The friend says Mr. Hoov er clearly implied as much out on the coast recently. It is unquestionably true. The Hoover view Is that now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their party. He thinks Col. Knox Is making a good fight by tour ing the country and delivering speech es, thua keeping the political contest alive. He thought Landon should have done likewise and Is understood to have counseled the Kansas gover nor to that effect, directly or Indi rectly, some weeks ago. Incidentally, as all Mr. Hoover s friends know, he believes that all prominent republican speakers will become second-string men as soon aa the candidate Is selected. This In cludes himself. Senators lifted their eyebrows the other day at a confidential repott stating there are still upwards of 1.000 banks In the country which are not strong. The report came from highly capable Chairman Crowley of federal deposit Insurance, who knows, If any one does. Mr. Crowley's position waa that there are too many people In th banking business who should be sell ing knlcknacks on the corner. H wanted authority to continue encour aging mergers, and will get It. The first duty of a banker Is to his depositors, next to his stockholders and last to his borrowers. There are still some bankers who get the order reversed. The treasury has been slyly build ing up cash balances lately beyond what seem to be Its reasonable te qulrementa. The trick apparently Is to charge the bonus, as well as every other odd and end, to this fiscal year. blaming the bonus for tbe big jump In the debt which la now under way. Apparently. Mr. Morgenthau Is figur ing on re-election and ft downhill coast In financing the second term. It Is being reliably said In the bouse cloakroom that Mr. Roosevelt was well pleased with the tax bill reac tion, considers the Idea ft master stroke.
