' PROSTIOMIN fO Asthenia la a five dollar word meaning weakness. Neurasthenia means weak nerves, but - no auch state U conceivable In physiology or Pathology. Neu rasthenia was a fine old quack diagnosis to string along the Idle rich of the gay nineties. It lust doesn't do today. Pacyh as thenia u a handy term tho be cause many who have it resent being called weak-minded. Myasthen' la means muscle weakness. One fair ly common complaint la angioscler otic myasthenia. Intermittent claudi cation. Intermittent limping, a spell of weakness usually with pain in the legs which comes on after the man (usually past middle age) has walked a short distance, and temporarily puts him out of commission. He has to sit down or lie and rest a while, till the pain and weakness wear off, when he may resume his walk at a slow pace and on the level or downhill, but not upgrade, unless he Is pre pared to have another seizure In a few minutes. This Is probably due to Insufficient blood supply to the leg muscles thru arteries affected with hardening, from excessive Indulgence In tobacco, from alcohol, from syphil is, from chronic lead poisoning. Best emergency relief Is probably a tablet of nitroglycerin, such as men subject to angina pectoris carry to take when threatened or seized with an it tack. Another condition, not so common, is myasthenia gravis, a chronic pro gressive muscular weakness without' apparent tarophy or wasting, affect ing muscles of the face and throat. In some cases other muscles as well. At first the affected muscles func tion normally, but they tire quickly and presently refuse to function at all. Difficulty of swallowing or regur gitation of food may occur after the patient has eaten part of a meal. The upper eyelids tire and droop. Effort to smile quickly fatigues and gives a pathetic expression. A dose of prostlgmln, either hpyo- dcrmlcally or by mouth, producer! a striking chanpe. An hour or two after QQ.Mclnfyre NEW YORK.

Comment on the Dau s News By FRANK JENKINS I TNIDENTIPIED aubm&rlnea, gen- erally believed to be Italian (poe tlbly leaeed by Italy to the Spanlah tnturgenta) hare been running amuck In the Mediterranean, attacking ahlpi of varloue natlona but aeemtng to specialize aomewbat on Buailan vee- Mil. (The reault la Europe's blggeit war scare yet, plut a bad break on the New York stock exchange which seems to be due to fear that these "pirate' submarines will precipitate a general European war.) KT these submarine activities In the Mediterranean. ' Well, here la a thought: Russia might side with China, If she thought It safe. So Italy, which la playing the game with Japan, may have decided to MAKE IT CKSATE tor Russia to take on any more commltmenta on her eastern front. The way to do that, of course, would be to stir up trouble In' Rus sia's back yard. These submarines in the Mediterranean seem to be doing plenty of -that. PORTLAND'S lumber Industry is tied up by a struggle between the AFL and the OIO. San Francis co's waterfront la tied up In the same way. In NEITHER case la the employer at fault. The trouble Is between rival unions, and the employer Is merely a helpless bystander along with the men who want to work and earn wages. WHAT can be done about it? The answer Is short and sim ple: NOTHING. Nothing, that is, at present. The labor situation through out the whole country will have to get considerably worse before it can get any better. IT seems to this unimportant writer (who may, of course, be wrong) that the labor situation throughout the country Is bad because the high up leaders are more concerned with dues and power than with the welfare of those who work for wages. Communications Eugenics Best Birth Control, To the Editor: J. C. Reynolds' poem about birth control made me wonder if he has ever known the Joys of parenthood Tf so. which one of your offsprln; would you. Vish out of existence? what is there in the world more worth while to work for than one's children? Does It develop one's soul to slave to pay for a nice automo bile? Or to dance all night or play cards with fingertips tinted on both sides, red on one and cigarette yel low on the other? Moreover, it is not right to cloud growing children's minds with the 1 m pression that they are unwan ted burdens. That verse In proverbs about chil dren being a poor man's riches, most of us take literally. But after you have lived long enough to get un derstanding, we know that there Is nothing else can make as much rich ness of soul and happiness. If sometimes feel embittered and re belllous because of my lot in life, I blame the methods of "Big Bust ness." And why should anybody be so short-minded as to embrace the thought for a moment that war is one of 'the workings of Mother Na ture to remove some of the people when there are too many? Do you think it would be nature's way to take those with the most pertect bodies, and leave the future to the old and the maimed, like' war does? No. sir! Nature la too wonderful to use such methods. War also Is one of the lusts of "Big Business." You advocates of birth control, why strain at gnats when we have camels doing the Job for you. The camels are the CCC. Thousands and thousands of boys herded out the woods like cattle fcsttle would have one advantage) old enough to be planning a home and happiness. If you bl r t h con t rol sd vocs tes would put your energies to work In behslf of an eugenics law then you would be doing the future genera tions a great service. Orchard growers remove diseased treea lest his whole orchsrd become useless. Likewise, the fsrmer re plants his best grain. Breeders of fine poultry, or horses or cows, use the same care. But we are most negligent of the human race. Consequently, we have prisons illled with dangerous criminals, and santariums filled with mongrel and Idiots and Insane. AH of which costs t hou sa nds of doll sn to the people to keep up. The dollars, though aren't the worst cost to the peopte. Think of the sorrows and broken hearts all those things make. A few glances at the lineups in the detective magar-lnes shows plain. y inai me races printed there are those of the mongrels and the in sane.

Now the Pen-American treaties can be offered as an accomplished fact and suggested ss a specific goal of auch meetings. In other words. Instead of saying to the world. "Let's do something." the United Suites Is now saying. "Let's get together and do this." When the story of President Roose velt's battle over the supreme court reorganization Is written, It will be a strange tals. Perhaps the strangest chapter will tell of tho part that Felix Frank furter, widely chronicled as the legal foster-father of most New Weal meas ures, did not play In the story. As a matter of fact, this erudite idealist of Harvard never saw the draft of the court bill and the mes sage which accompanied It until they were in print. This, in spite of the fact If we may believe the report of one of his nearest friends that, of all the Frankfurtiian members of the New Deal, Tommy Corcoran, alleged author of the bill, was his fairest of fair-haired boya. What will surprise and shock many ardent thick -and -thin followers of this Ill-fated piece of legislation is that Felix Frankfurteer not only op posed the bill, but, If pressed, would have testified against it at the hear ings of the Judiciary committee. In fact, he was invited to testify, but, at the request of a close friend who knew how embarrassing It might be, the Invitation was not pressed. If he had come, he would have said (according to those who Insist they know), among other things: "Break down the barriers . which have protected the independence of the supreme court, and the way will llebroad open for the flrst-man-who- would-be-dictstor, whatever his nsme may prove to be." Prof. Frankfurter never said those words. But some of his friends assert they were his sentiments, though they were expressed by Prof. Erwin N. Griswold, who testified for some 35 pnges before the Judiciary com mittee. While It couldn't even be whispered in the solemn conclaves of the men who direct America's foreign affairs, as a matter of fact there Is a power ful personage who sits In on all of these gathcrlnga when our relation with Japan are concerned. He Is King Cotton. The representatives of his realm in Dixie have thetK full share of mem bers on the senate committee on for eign relations and the house commit tee on foreign affairs. When Representative McReynolds upholds the policy of his fellow Ten nessean, Secretary of State Hull, which so far has kept the trade lanes to the Orient open, or when Senator Connally of Texas echoes his senti ments, King Cotton nods approval. Since 1931, Japan, and not Great Britain, as heretofore, has become America's best cotton consumer. Ger many, Japan's good friend. Is number two consumer. Both countries have been heavy buyers of "linters," the fuzzy substance shaved off the cotton seed in the manufacture of oil. Thes? , are essentials In the making of high 1 explosives. Any break In our trade relations with these two countries would cut ! down the cotton export market near ly 40 per cent. The Grange Phoenix Orange.
