That must be clearly understood before either of us can know what the other la talking about. A draft Is something more than Just air in motion It la a current of air you can feel, whether it be hot or cold, damp or dry. Whether you can feel It depends chief ly on the ve locity of the air current. Fresh air or ventilation in a room or enclosure of any de scription Implies air in motion. If the air stands still or stag nates it soon becomes "foul" or depressing. Probably (I can find no scien tific evidence on this point) some persons are actually more sensitive to motion of the air, can feel a current of air upon the skin which is so gentle that It is imperceptible to others Not particularly cold or damp air. Just air. The fancies of "somebody who knows" have no weight as evidence on this point. Confirmed mollycoddles detect Imaginary drafts when normal folk are perfectly com fortable. I would not advise anybody to sleep In a draft. But I like to sleep that way myself, that Is, when I can be comfortable In bed. If the wind or draft blowing on me makes me so cold I can't sleep, you bet I shut It out or fend it off. If I possibly can. But If I can keep nice and warm In bed with a young gale blowing over me I feel perfectly safe. For I'm sure the fresh night air blowing in so freely is better for breathing than any artifi cially conditioned air can be, and In addition I am sure the air I breathe will not be pol luted or contaminated by any accidental escape of gas or by carbon monoxide from some faulty burner or furnace or vent or flue. In the morning I awak en refreshed and feeling fit, not (Conunued Prom Page One) without the formality of taking out a policy, provided the raid and damage occur before July 1. After that date there will be a new set-up and private com panies will participate. Insurance representatives from Washington and Oregon have been in the capital discussing the matter with RFC. The exact plan has not been worked out; three plans are now under consideration, but it looks as though insurance agents will enjoy a thriving business in the target area. The margin they will work on will be very slim, but there will be little difficulty In signing up policies. Federal government, in any event, will be carrying the bag. It ia ex pected that private timber own ers will buy all the protection they can afford, for Incendiary bombs are their greatest menace. Next will be public utilities, and municipalities buying war risk insurance for the protection of their water supply, and sawmills. Rate of insurance will be the same whether it is taken out on property in Astoria, Belllngham or in the safer areas of Kansas City or Chicago. e e e AT the moment, five planes (pursuit, interceptor and bomber) are being produced every hour of the day, or 120 each 24 hours: 3.600 planes a month. At this rate there will be 43.200 pro duced in a 12-month period, but as the assembly plants speed up and some are using the assem bly line technique this number will be greatly increased; will probably reach 6V000 this year, the goal set by President Roose velt. It has been the policy not to particularise on plane produc tion, but Speaker Rayburn has announced publicly that 3.600 planes a month is the current production. A good percentage of the bombers are coming from the Boeuig plant on Pugrt sound e e e DRAFT boards are receiving information to be used for de ferment of skilled farm v, Pikers who, if they went Into service, would decrease farm production.

I would advise everybody to pay no attention to drafts, and sleep in a well ventilated place and always sleep comfortable. QUESTIONS ANSWERS Dlslnleetloa Is tt dtnrsrou to Ukt clothtci horns from a sauaurlum to launder. Th patient Is supposed to bsva lunc trouble. (Mlu A. C.) Aniwer Sosp and water Is a de pendable disinfectant for clothes, no matter what Infectious or contagious disease ths patient may have. Of course If the clothes are boiled that alone would disinfect them. Ironing sterilises clothea. There Is practically no dinger In taking home clothing worn by a tuberculosis patient, for home laundering. Constipation I am Indebted to your fine health teachings for many things, not the least of which la freeing me from lifelong dependence on physics and enemaa. For more than eight years now Z have not resorted to any such artificial aid. thanks to your pamph let on that subject. (J. M. B ) Answer Thank you. On request I ara glad to send the pamphlet on "Constipation" Inclose stamped en velope bearing your address. Tuberculin Test School children receive akin testa for tuberculosis. One physician says this la a reliable teat another says a "positive" tuberculin Test doesn't mean anything. (fl. 8.) Answer A "positive" reaction in children under fourteen is a fair Indi cation of active tuberculosis. After that age. It becomes less significant, as moat adults harbor latent or In active tuberculosis somewhere in the body anyway. The akin test is val uable In connection with other evi dence (physical examination. X-ray of chest) for nndlng the children who require special preventive treat ment. Trickle Bvery winter I have a bronehlal cold, cough seems to be caused by constant trickle In my throat. (CS.)

Communications SOLDIERS vs. ANGELA. To the editor: In your editorial of April 2, concerning raising soldiers' pay! your first remark was that it will be a "heavy burden to the taxpayers." That remark, com ing first, shows that it was also the first thought in your mind. You thought of that first before you remembered that the soldier must be a superior being, "a full measure of devotion gay, gal lant, courage, sacrificed for human freedom." "The regard, forever held In the minds and hearts of their grateful countrymen" quoting you should show In a willing ness to pay a little more taxes so that the soldier could have a heart to keep up some of this gay row race and devotion and honor that we expect them to have a dripping supply of. The soldiers of 1918 soon found out how much regard and how long the gratitude of their countrymen la?ted. Herbert Hoover cut their pay from $;)0 to $21. And to further economife he expected them to wait several years for their pay after the war was over. There was no place for them In the world then. Many had lost a good position or property. They roamed the country as tramps and when the depre.ion hit and their bonuses not yet due, their "gay courage." and their "full measure of devotion" was something they couUln t eat or wear. I suppose about everybody has forgotten what happened when they called on President Her bert Hoover bv the thouvands. I saved a cUi'iKt'.g from a news paper and I have it here before me. Headlines are aa follows: "One Slain, 62 Hurt aa Bonus Army Battles Infantry," "Veter ans Ousted from Camps by Fed eral Troops Using Tear Gas Bombs, Tanks." The piece says "General Doug las MacArthur, chief of staff of the army, directed the maneuv ers of the armed forces which were under the actual command of Brig -General Perry Miles." "MacArthur, pacing up and down In Secretary Hurley's of fice later told newspapermen that President Hoover was Jus tified in calling out the troops and said he acted only to pre vent a grave situation." "Oklahoma City. Washing ton officiala were criticised to day by Gov. William H. Mur ray for treatment accorded bonus expeditionary forces in the national capital." "I doubt whether Washington authorities handled the matter In the light of human nature," said Murray. "The well fed seem not to understand the view point of the starving." So I would say remember the bonus marchers lest you repeat your mistake of 1928. Mary Ethel Atkins. Ashland, Ore.
