MNGILAR EFFECTS Practically all food which provides the energy necessary to work, play or exercise In any way Is converted oy digestion ltno glucose and stored In the aver sno in the muscles in the form of "anl- msl atarch," gly cogen, until It Is needed. This gly cogen la quickly converted Into glucose ( blood sugar) when fuel la needed. The amount of augar present In the blood remains constantly at a certa.n level from .08 per cent In a tasting person to .18 per cent after a hearty meal or after a gorge on Ice cream, candy or other sweet. In other words the blood of a normal Individual con talna approximately 3-3rda of an ounce of sugar at all times, augar ready for Immediate) use. In reserve behind thla trigger quick energy Is the much largor quantity of glycogen stored In the liver and muscles. It Is now fairly well known that contestants In a marathon race, in a long swim or any other test of en durance are less likely to collapse helpless with exhaustion If they get some form of sugar along the way say well aweetened tea or other aweet- ened beverage, milk, milk chocolate or any food in which starch or sugar la a, large Ingredient. That la because the extraordlnsry physical effort rapidly uses up the sugar In t-e blood ond the sugar freshly formed by conversion of the available gly cogen. After thla, If the demand for energy continues, when the blood augsr level Is very low, collapse Is inevitable unless some more sugar can be quickly obtained. Now some Individuals who take no exercise at all to apeak of neverthe less have spells or seizures due to hy poglycemia, low blood sugar. With out attempting to account for such spells now, we may eay simply that such functional hypoglycemia eome tlmes produces singular effects.

She sat directly In front ol me, and when the lights came on. to the derisive Jeera of the house. I noticed that the package was done up In brown paper. At once the lady unwrapped her bundle and drew forth the manu script of what assuredly must have been a 100.000-word novel. In man uscript form It looked like two or threo novels. She caught up aev eral sheets arid began to rend. Now. as I hve said, she sst di rectly In front of me. and. welcom ing any distraction that would tokf my mind off the ssd behavior of the actors.

Streptococcus Is notorious for Its tendency to spread without In ducing a reaction in the tissues which would tend to limit the Infection to a restricted area.

This yellow-breasted gray bird 1 tha Longtalled Chat. It la found from northern Mexico to British Columbia. It Is still nesting throughout California as thla Is writ ten. I The chat sometimes croaka almost 1 like a frog. He Is at once a ven- I trlloqulet and a clown. According to 1 Mra. Bailey, authority on western birds, he will "give a whistle, as If he were calling a dog and meant to be obeyed. When not whistling or scolding like an oriole, calling like a cuckoo or piping like a shrill-voiced rock squirrel, he will bark like a dog." Thla long-tailed bird la an insect eater. In addition to the entertain ment he affords us. he devours a con alderable quantity of noxious Insects. The birds come back year after year to nest In the aame place. One pair has been nesting In the writer's gsr den for some seven yeers. The above may be helpful to the ever-widening circle of young folks Interested in our Pacific coast birds. C. M. GOETHE.

Under the gen'.al exterior of the sort of politician one sees In droves at race tracks, he con ceals much kindliness and good sense. His rise In the New Deal has bean slow. Prom dispenser-ln-chlef of Jus tice department patronage, his func tions have been broadened until he now does many of the Jobs which used to be assigned to Postmaster General James A. Farley. He Is the practical politician on the general staff, and a rising star. David Nlles, an obscure official of the WPA. A protege of Felix Frank furter and a friend of Jimmy Rlose- velt'a Boston years, he la the least known and least Important general staff member. A plump, dark Uttta man. with an Ingratiating manner, he la well fitted for his duties, which are those of orderly and message bearer. Such tasks aa soliciting the C.I.O.'s huge 1936 campaign contri bution from John L. Lewis are as signed to him. He used to run a left wing forum In Boston, and la stiti; Interestingly enough, officially con nected with the LaFollette progressive committee. James Roosevelt, who arranged the dinner meeting. He has solved for his father the ancient problem of men In power finding subordinates whose Interests are completely Iden tical with their masters. He is ami able, personable, shrewd and ambi tious. After a period of strain, when big -wigs rebelled at accepting "an unllcked boy" as his father's repre sentative, he Is now doing his Job efficiently and well. He Is more a detail man than a policy maker. Two youngish leaders of the New Deal left wing, notable for their tn telectual brilliance and fondness for anonymity. They are the ideu-mcn for the general staff, and as Import ant as any other staff member ex cept Hopkins. Such Is the general staff. Besides the men mentioned above, there was an official or so from the labor de partment, present only because It happened to be the wage-hour b:ll which was under discussion. With ' without such casual additions as the labor department representatives, the group frequently foregathers. In the group's discussions, general policy ts settled, subject, of course, to the president's direction and ap proval. Members of the group are charged with such delicate tasks as changing the vote of the LouWnn;. representatives on the wage-hour bill. The position of the group Is pre cisely that of a general staff in an army. Other high officials Secre tary of Afrlculture Henry A. Wallace. Chairman William O. Douglas of the S EC, Chairman Marrtner S. Ecclcs of the federal rejterva board, Secre tary of the Treasury Henry Morgen thau. Jr., and Secretary of State Cor dell Hull have great Influence. But their positions are similar to the posi tions of a quartermaster -general or a chief of artillery. Their lnfluen.e Is confined to their own fields, ex cept for brief excursions. It will be observed that every gen eral staff member, except Keenp.n and James Roosevelt, ts definitely a left -winger. It will also be observed that all the staff members are the personal creations of the president; without their power In Whit House palace politics, they would be entire, ly impotent. Therein ties their great ert prtvent problem the perpetuation of their policies when the president is gone.

Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS HERE'S something that may sur prise you: Whooping cough today kills more young children than ANT OTHER communicable disease of childhood. AB a killer, whooping cough Is particularly dangerous to very young children. Six out of every ten deaths from this disease occur in the first year of life. It Is dangerous because It tends to run Into bronchial pneumonia. In nine out of every ten deaths from whooping cough, bronchiaf pneumonia Is the Immediate cause. XIHOOPING cough, however, la a TT DECLINING menace. In 1900, Its death rate was 10.7 per 100,000 of population, whereaa now It is only 3.9 per 100.000. The decline In tha diphtheria death rat ia even more startling. A third of a century ago it waa 22a per 100.000. while now It la only 2.0 Medical science Is making steady progress- . fJERE is an Interesting question X 1 Do we make progress 'because it la EASY, or are" we spurred on to achievement by DIFFICULTIES THIS writer, without trying to ans- X wer that question, cites the case of three boys down In Tehama coun ty, near Red Bluff. In the school year Just closing. these boys came through with per- feot attendance records. Yet all three had to conquer difficulties that are rather unusual- In these days. One lived five miles from school with no bus, and all three lived on the other side of a creek that was a raging torrent throughout much of the winter, waahlng out the bridge and compelling the boys to cross on a slippery log. These obstaclea, apparently, only STIMULATED THEM TO GREATER EFFORT.
