Court proceedings news of the na tion Indicates more or less rapacious adults are assldiously endeavoring to use their own, and other people's kids, as short cuts to easy money. The suit of a New York woman against a psychiatrist far 9500.000 was thrown out of court. She charged the psychiatrist had created a wall of hatred between herself nnd her son. A California lady seeks finan cial remuneration as the discoverer of a rising film songstress. An Ari zona mother had the law on a schoolteacher for 65000 for slapping her boy. The court ruled the lad received his desserts, and denied any ' money balm. Then there Is the ugly picture of greed outlined In the Jackie Coogan suit for a portion of the huge fortune showered upon him as a boy movie star.

( AP) A robin took up its 29th clay of battle today gainst Its reflection In a window at the Oeorjre Johnson home. Be tween nttacxs the pugnacious bird guU.e; ncfetlu uuttulaU A Strange "Sitooation" npHE present opera bouffe in Washington (state) is sympto- matio of the times. Unrest, dissension, suspicion, fear all the vapors of the witches broth are in the air. This column doesn't know just what the hulabaloo between Governor Clarence Martin and his bandmaster Lieutenant Gov ernor is all about. ' But wo are quite certain that such a strange contest would never have been staged in normal times. With the Governor in the East, the Lieutenant Governor, acting in his place called a special session of the state legislature. The Governor hops back by airplane and revokes his sub ordinate's order. The latter now announces he will carry the fight to the state supreme court, and the fat is in the fire. maintain if tempers weren't pretty much on edge, and an abnormal psychology did not prevail, such a strange situation would never have come about. It only goes to show, no one is quite normal at the present time, particularly where politics is concerned. - . NO doubt the main cause is this second depression or what ever vnn wish tn rill it. The first one was bad enough. But the second, coming so shortly after, has all the qualities of irritation, resentment and restrained rage, tnat usually attend a relapse irom a severe illness. There is a vague sense of injustice created, the disease was cured once, why in time couldn't it stay cured! It "hain't fair" to the long suffering patient, to win a battle against heavy odds and then without a breathing spell be laid low. again CO naturally everyone is more or less disposed to look around for a goat. And under such circumstances, it doesn't take much to set off tempers already balanced on hair triggers. That or something like that, must be at the bottom of this strange spectacle along the shores of Puget Sound, the Governor engaged in a rough and tumble with his second in command, to determine whether or not the members of the legislature should get together as ONE orders, or return to their homes and forget it, as the OTHER commands. . ''SITE are quite sure that even a year ago, what appears to be " purely a personal incompatability, would never have been allowed to develop to such fantastic extremes. The saving grace of humor, so conspicuous by its absence almost everywhere at the present time, would have prevent ed it. Whose Face Is Red? WE wonder if the faces of the "Republican leaders in the enncrresfi nren't n trillo rprl thia hi.J,ht mmnin0 Messrs. Snell, Vandenberg, Hamilton, et al have all been .tumping all over the President's new pump-priming program, ever sines it was announced There is nothing whatever, they claim, to commend it. Spending was tried once and failed. It will fail again. Instead of meeting the situation, the President as usual is evading it. Personal Health Service By William Brady, M D.

Calif. FRIDAY: DON'T BE NERVOUS, EAT FISH According to Hutchison and Mott ram ( Food an d the Principles of Dietetics. Wm. Wood & Co., 1933), the popular fancy that fish Is "brain food" fs ground ed on the belief that flab Is spe cially rich In phosphorus. The Swiss naturalist, Agasslz, who It seems, took medical degree at Munich the year after he became a doctor of phi losophy at Er langen perhaps tney were care less and left medical degrees lying about un watched In those days (1830). Being the rightful owner of the degree of doctor of medicine, Agasslz probably wanted to make some use of It, so he delved a bit into the medical "science" of the day, learned that without phosphorus thought is Impossible (this was the dictum of Buchner, but It has long since been laid away In the museum), learned also that fish contains phos phorus (as a matter of chemical analysis meat, beans, corn, peanuts, nuts, wheat, peas, oatmeal, eggs and cheese contain more phosphorus than fish does), and Uthely Jumped to the conclusion that fish is brain food, j This authoritative pronouncement es tablished the Idea, and It thrived for years, until Mark Twain, no mean naturalist himself, applied It In prac tice, prescribing a couple of whales as a breakfast dish for a youth who sought hints on how to become an author. The foods I specifically recommend to prevent or cure what alls many who consider themselves "nervous" contain much calcium and at least enough phosphorus for all bodily re quirements. They are milk and milk products, egg-yolk, oarrots, peas, beans. peanuts, nuts, cabbage, plain wheat (not refined flour or other refined wheat products), greens. I now add another Item to the diet for "ner vousness" or "nerve weakness." I. too. came by a medical degree In my youth and I am anlous to make some use of tt. So I hereby dub fish, even fresh water fish but especially sea fish and shellfish as good nerve food and It matters little whether you take oysters, lobster, canned salmon or sar dines, brook trout or lake muskel lunga or bass or perch, it Is all good nerve food, and I'll tell you why. All fish and shellfish contain more or less vitamin D, the sunshine vita min. In their body fat as well as the DUT what does Thomas W. Iiamont, high ranking partner of J. P. Morgan & Co., on his arrival from Europe, say about the President's program f . MR. LA MONT HEARTILY APPROVES IT.' He says there is nothing else to do under the circumstances.- The essential trouble with the country today is deflation. Ary steps taken by the government toward making credit, more abundant will counteract that tendency. . For the government to spend 4 billion dollars at this time, and ease the credit situation is all to the good. Mr. Lamont not only approves the program, he gives it his PRAISE. 1J0V any fair person would grant Mr. Lamont knows ' SOMETHING about money and finance, he certainly should it has been his life work. And while this column is convinced there is no such thing as an absolute financial or monetary authority, when the firm of J. P. Morgan is an nounced, we can't believe Messrs. Snell, Vandenberg and Ham iltonor any other Republican leaders, would share this skepticism. To the orthodox Republican, the firm of J. P. Morgan comes as near to being the financial equivalent of the U. S. Supreme Court, and Mr. Thomas Lamont its Chief Justice, or high priest, as it is possible in their minds to elevate the realm of jurisprudence to that of the higher finance. Consequently, we wonder how Congressmen Snell and Van denberg are taking this announcement from on high this fine morning. A RE they ignoring it, are they trying to explain it, or are they doing what they can. sub rosn, to get J. P. Morgan's senior partner, to see the light and cither retract such a damag ing statement, modify it, or at least repeat no such pro-Roosevelt heresy until after the congressional elect ions t W e have an idea they are doing none of these things. More than that we have an idea all three gentlemen, in fact practi cally all the Q.O.P. leaders, secretly agree with Mr. Lamont They don't like more government borrowing and spending, of ourse. No sane person docs. But under the circmustauces they perceive, that to prevent a national misfortune from be coming a national catastrophe there is nothing else to do. t HUT this is an election year. The control of congress Is at stake. It's no time to quibble about what is true or what isn't. It IS time, to do EVERYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE to make Republican votes and kill Democratic ones. So the President who happens to be a Democrat, can do nothing riht. If he tries t reorganize the executive depart ment, that's DICTATORSHIP. If he tries to pull the ship of state out of a tailspin, by federal spending as he did once before, that's BANKRUPTCY. fat or oil in their livers. Even the lowly burbot, allied to the 'cod, abounding In the Great Lakes, New England lakes and the lakes of Min nesota and Wisconsin, large quantities of which are used for fertilizer and scorned as food for man, has been found to 'm richer than cod or halibut In vitamin D and Is now being ex ploited for the medicinal value of Its liver oil and body oil. If more fish and shellfish Ls In cluded In the dally diet, the notorious shortage of vitamin D In the diet of the average American will be to some degree corrected. The only natural sources of vitamin D In the diet of the average American are milk, cream, butter and egg-yolk, and few do or can consume enough of these foods to get the required amount of vita min D. Vitamin D la essential for the absorption of calcium and Its utiliza tion In the body. So I say don't be nervous. Have some more of this fine salmon salad or now that the season ls on let's have some fried oysters with a fistful of greens and potatoes julienne.

' QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Locomotor Ataxia Is locomotor ataxia inheritable? I em anxious to know, because my husband died with It. My daughter, now 45 years old, complains of shoot ing pains. (Mrs. N. L. R.) Answer No. If your daughter did not have syphilis at birth Bhe in herited nothing of the sort. Loco motor ataxia Is the result of syphilis. If the father has syphilis (or the mother before the child ls conceived, the child may be born syphilitic (con genital syphilis). If the child has not syphilis at birth, the child will not Inherit the disease. Removing Tonsils My daughter, aged 12, has a small piece on tonsil left In the throat iher tonsils were removed a few years ago). The nose and throat specialist says this piece may affect her eye sight, as she ls quite near-sighted and has to wear glasses. He wants to remove it with surgery. (Mrs. S. L. H.) Answer If the tag of tonsil must be removed I'd have It done by dia thermy. If she were my daughter. . She need have no more fear of that than she would of visiting the dentist for cleaning the teeth or filling a small cavity. (Copyright 1938, John P. DUle Co.)
