IJO HUM I A dispatch from San Hoover, former President of the importunities of his many in a country wide tour, to boost the Republican cause, and thus counteract the effect of President Roosevelt's recent journey. We would like a list of those "friends", for they are cer tainly FALSE onesl TfHE worst thing Mr. Hoover could do both for himself and the Republican party would be to again match his wits and his vote getting ability, with the present occupant of the White House. For he is doomed, to a terrible beating before he starts. This has nothing to do with what Mr. Hoover is, or what he may say. He may be the "Moses" this country is looking for, he may have the ONE sure-fire solution for the country's perplexing ills. It makes no difference. It isn't what he IS, but what the rank and file of this country BELIEVE him to be, that makes such action, from the standpoint of practical politics, simply suicidal. IT is strange Mr. Hoover can't see this. It is more strange that his friends and political advisers can't. For it is really primary stuff as far as political psychology is concerned. In fact we doubt if in any other field of human activity, except politics, such action would even be CONSIDERED. TAKE sports, for example, which also depends for its success upon the popular reaction of the rank and file, the masses, the people. Could you find a sports promoter in the country who would today risk a dollar on a return match of Max Schmeling with Joe Louis ? Max wants such a match. He believes in a return contest he would defeat the negro. Well he may bo right. The point is, no one else BELIEVES it. John Q. Citizen wouldn't pay twenty-five CENTS much less twenty-five dollars, to see the German "washout" again massacred by the Brown Bomber. The only hope for Max is again, demonstrate to the public by actual PERFORMANCE, he is better than they think he is. Even that would take time and a lot of ballyhoo but it is Max's only chance. And a similnr demonstration although in politics, it is even C"OR what IS the popular reaction to former President Hoover today regardless of what he may do or say, or how a return to private life may have improved him as a publio speaker. It is a pretty strong mixture of skepticism, ridicule and resentment. John Q.'s reaction is bound to be something like this, as he listens to our last Republican President: "Oh yeah? If you know ao much about how to cure a de pression why didn't you cure the worst one this country ever saw, when you had a chance? If Roosevelt la such a bum, and you know all the answers, WHY la It, that when all the banks were closing and a man couldn't even get script, you done nothing but say prosperity waa 'Just around the corner', and when F. D, ft. got in. he did something and things began to pick upl There la another depression now? Well maybe there Is and maybe there ain't. But anyhow, you ain't the white headed boy to aolve It!" etc., ete. Now, as with Max Schmeling, that may be all wrong. Mr. Hoover may be as competent to handle the situation, either himself, or telling someone else he is. But the fact remains NO ONE is GOING to believe it, until the situation which now exists and has existed ever since the close of the Hoover administra tion, changes, not only changes but changes RADICALLY. IN other words, Mr. Hoover is uot only a poor choice to repre sent the Republican party against President Roosevelt, he is positively the WORST choice that In fact he is the one prominent Republican who should be seen in the present campaign but from active and controversial policy, tactics and strategy to other members, particularly the younger members in no way identified with the Hoover administration do the talking, the campaigning. AS before stated, it is one nristnt nnlitinnl apt. nn. 1 - I - -ri powers that be in G.O.P. circles, The Right AS all newspaper men know hnmrin I1rtr1 t lip RomiMipnn His niinic is Frauklyn Waltman, and judging by his perfor mances to dHte, he is a decided have preceded him. Theoretically he is supposed for the somewhat notorious Michelson. But in practice we are glad shadowing Charley about and trying to answer him, but has taken a new and original tack for himself. And we are particularly pleased to observe that this "tack" conforms to our favorite political theory that if the G.O.P. ! insists upon blindly attacking the New Deal, and does nothing else, it is headed for a beating as devastating as the one of 1934. j This isn't Wnltman's technique. He doesn't attack Roose-, veil where he is strong but where he is weak. Like Congress man Barton, he accepts the desirability of the major Roosevelt aims, but he points out clearly, that in many directions, in far too many, they don't work out in practice. . . . r,IlK latest offering is a case iu point. ' Waltman accepts the objective of the Social Security Act, as desirable for example, "to provide a greater measure of security for the American wage earners and thereby to enhance the welfare of the nation as g whole." But he DENIES that thus far the measure has thus worked out, i And instead of making that denial an ex-part statement lie supports it by the formal opinion of a non-partisan organiza tion, the American Association for Social Security, headed by Francisco declares Mr. Herbert the United States, has yielded to friends, and will take the stump, to go out and win his spurs is Mr. Hoover's only chance, more difficult to secure one, how tp do it as he THINKS BELIEVES IT1 And no one could be made. not heard ; who should retire politics entirely, ADVISE ou his heart's coutent, but let of the major mysteries of the that annnrentlv non of the -1 can SEE thisl "Tack for they are being continually nnrtv Vina n nptp nrpvu ntrpnt. improvement over those who to be a check, on, and antidote but extremely able, Charley to see he doesn't waste time the present administration and such experts as Abraham Epstein, frequently known as the father of Social Security in this country. Now that sort of thing will make votes, for the Republican party, while printing any more Liberty League tirades about the 1 "socialistic nonsense of the Roosevelt administration" most certainly WON'T!

Address Dr. Wllilom Brady, 265 El (amino, lieverly Hills, Calif. ALCOHOL THE ALLY No sane and sober person will con tend that one can think better when drunk. There la no precise borderline between Subriety and Intoxication. Certain rough tests are some times arbitrarily employed for po lice purposes, such as requiring the suspect to walk a chalk-line or to repeat a sentence con taining several words that call for good control of speech, or best of all tests ao far developed, a measurement of the pro. portion of alcohol In the blood. The blood teat haa been ao Imp'lfleil that with special apparatus provided for the purpose, any intelligent person can make the tet at any time But unfortunately for law and order the Individual under tusplclon may avoid the test by slmplv refusing to submit to the drawing at a drop of blood to tike a drop of blood against the will of the victim would be an assault. On the other hand, a person under suspicion or falsely charged with be lng Intoxicated should gladly lubmlt to the blood test since It will settle the question beyond all doubt If no alcohol la found in the blood. Of course this presupposes the victim of the charge has not taken even the familiar drink or two of anything alcoholic. It Is universally recognized that when a moderate, steady or hard drinker gets pneumonia his or her chance of surviving the Illness Is poor. Alcohol evidently Impairs or destroys whatever natural or ac quired Immunity I say immunity, not "resistance" the Individual may have. Alcohol Is the ally of pneu monia. Some Interesting experiments on rabbits, as reported by Dr. K. L. Plck rell in Proc. Soc. Exper. Biol. & Med.. March, I93S, Indicate that alcohol not only weakens the powe.r of the body to fight the Invaders but par alyzes the sentries or guards at the point of Invasion. Thus a large group of rabbits were immunized to type I pneumococcl. Then these rabbits, together with an equal number of nonimmune rabbits aa controls, were Injected with type I pneumococcus cultures. . . Half of the rabbits of each series were given enough alcohol to keep them stu porous throughout the duration of the experiment. . . Within five hours positive blood culturea of type I pneumococcl were obtained from both Intoxicated and nonlntoxlcated Man About Manhattan B) (IbOIUit IXCKLK NEW VOHK Although I admiru Walt Disney more than any man in Hollywood I decided not to attend his party at Music Hall the other day. It was quite an affair and I knew be forehand that it probably would be the most Im portant press re ception o f tho year. But attending parties for Dis ney nowadays is like going to Get- GEOft&E tuckR tysburg to hear Roosevelt make a July 4tn address. 1 mean If you are lucky you may glimpse the great man at a distance, but with everybody else having tho same Idea you'd never get closer than 100 yards. And that's how the Disney recep tion turned out. Some 300 writers, celebrities, and friends of Mr. w. a. Van Schmus, who was Disney' host. crowded into the luxurious reception rooms above Music Hall. Herbert Bayard Swope waa there. J. p. Mc Avoy, the writer, was there. Licence Commissioner Moss, the man who killed burlesque on Broadway, was there. One could fill a column with names of the great and the near great who crowded in to see Disney. Later, that la to say about 9 p. m , a colleague of mine came bounding into the office with the cry: "Well.

OF PNEUMONIA nonimmune rabbits, and they all died within 18 hours. On the other hand the nonlntoxlcated Immune rabbits showed a negative blood culture (no germs found In blood) and all sur vived the Infection. The intoxicated Immune rabbits developed septicemia (germs in the blood) as promptly as the nonimmune controls, and died wthln 24 hours. Obviously alcohol robs the body of any immunity It may have against the pneumonia germ. The laconic Invitation "Name your poison" Is plain language. Further studies by Plckrell suggest that alcohol specifically paralyzes the power to react locally with Inflam mation In the effort to wall off and limit the infection to the point of Invasion. Possibly prolonged ether anesthesia has a 6tmllar paralyzing effect on local Immunity. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Nose Drops Please Inform me whether there is any danger In using nose drops for colds, hay fever, asthma, sinus trou ble, etc., from the oil accumulating in the chest or lung. (Mrs. C. W. E.) Answer Dropping medicaments In the nose may be dangerous in the case of an Infant If the solution Is In mineral oil (petrolatum). I have heard of no 111 effects from the use of such drops If the oil Is a pure brand vegctame oil. Mineral oil (petrola tum) Is always a foreign substance and cannot be absorbed In the body. Vltninln B for DeufnesH I understand you recommend the use of vitamin B In the treatment of deafness. (Mrs. w. W. M.) Answer At any rate It can do no harm, and In a number of Instances it has apparently brougnt about con siderable improvement. I would sug gest that you eat three or four ounces of wheat germ meal In ono dish or another daily for not less than three or four months, by way of a trial. Or take vitamin B In other forms If you prefer. Dew of Sahara Please give the formula and direc tions for use of your famous "n of Sahara" for dry. irritable, itchy skin. (D. L. K.)

I almost got within 20 feet of him." He then proceeded to narrate an Interesting eye-witness account of nil that had transpired. Disney himself wore a double breasted suit with a flower in his lapel, tie. handkerchief, and socks to match. It la his opinion that the creator of Snow white, while defi nitely friendly, is a little on the re tiring side, a little shy, a little con fused by the hubbub his presence always seems to create. He was. naturally, monopolized by the celebrities, who claimed him Tor their own, so that ono had literally to thrust one's presence upon him THE MIGHTIEST ADVENTURE ROMANCE EVER FILMED! TODAY and MONDAY ir r ; TAMIKOFF WALTER II SIN M T l:IV.1:- If one wished to avoid being left to flounder In the welter of party-goers who descended upon Muslo Hall for the fete. For at no time was Mr. Disney permitted to mingle freely with his guests. Most of the time he was hemmed against a wall, like a white whale on exhibition for the edification of the mob. And I fancy his paw Is still bruised and his larnyx still strained from clasping anony mous bands and murmuring over and over, though always politely, "I'm so glad to know you." Prom what my friend tells me of the entertainment I think Mr. Van Schmus deserves more than an acco lade. All during the party a contin uous succession of Disney films was projected upon a screen In an ad jacent room. And If one grew weary of sandwiches and cocktails, of which there was an extravagant selection, you could always lose your self In the enchantment of Mickey Mouse. And so It Is probable that I out smarted myself by remaining away from Mr. Disney's party. I wouldn't have stood a Chinaman's chance of really talking with him, I know. But at least I could have caught up on some of my Disney movies. And that would have made It unanimous. For I am probably the only man In New York who never saw "Three Little Pigs." 1 Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS 1iONTANA'S Democratic primary has onn bPttvHv Ww Tml nnrt in the light of figures Just released from Washington it would have been rather ungrateful to have done other' wise.
