THE CRI NEEDS Somatlmes I get pretty de pressed about the situation. To be sure. It is an everyday occur rence lor cor respondents to speak of cri In heir letters, but what mad dens me Is the way nearly all of them inter ject a paren thetic com' merit, half ex planatory, half humorous, lest I mlsunder- Dt Brad? stand. Then, too, once In a long while I see the word cri in print I mean elsewhere than In this column. Fvi-n mich nreclotis items are usually spoiled by the use of quotatio nmarks arouna ine quotation marki around the inference as to lta significance The earliest proper use of the word I can find In my scrap book Is an item published in tne Atlantic Constitution on or about May 3, 1927, telling that the mayor was forced to retire to his home on account of a slight Indisposition the mayQr was stricken witn- cri waia me Item and no funny, business either). ' Then, too, there are so many Wiseacres who get a half-baked notion that I am trying to pop ularize a new name for the com mon cold for no particular rea son and anyway what difference does it make what you call it? - What I have been trying to do Is to teach the truth about com mon respiratory Infections (In dispositions, illnesses and com plications responsible for three fourths of the practice of phy ctclans and surgeons), and here are some of the fundamentals which neither layman nor phy sician, nor health authority can evade or gainsay: ; - 1, Neither the victim, nor his customers,' employers, parents, teachers, corner druggist, nor The Value of Small Astronomical i Telescopes Br J.

Soon Galileo made several tele scopes of hit own; Ufa 'largest of which had a front lens of scarce ly' more than two inches dlarn ti ter. . , -In 1610, Galileo turned one of these little "optlck tubes" on the (tarry skies and forthwith an- nounced that the moon waamaybe mounted. No hand Is rough and mountainous, and the aun had black spots on it; that Venus showed phases like the moon, and Jupiter had four moons of Its own; and that the Milky Way was a cloud of count less tiny stars. The small In strument today, as always, has very useful place In the study of the heavens. - , ' Over the world, thousands of amateur astronomers with their telescopes of modest size, but ex cellent quality, are In many ways such as the discovery of comets and observations of me teors, variable stars and occul- Riviera Rlverla, Nov. 20 Gold Hill health unit held the first meet ing this fall at the W.

COATING even his physician can tell In the early stage what his cri (pre sumably one of the common re spiratory Infections) will prove to be. 2. Calling it cri (pronounced kree) In this stage of the indispo tition or illness Is playing fair. For that is acknowledged that of course you don't know wheth er-you are coming down with measles, infantile paralysis, sim ple coryza, pneumonia, Influen za,, or any I one of a dozen more or less communicable diseases whose onset is characterized by similar symptoms. 3. If you are mulish and Ignor ant and vicious and brazen enough to attempt to palm it off on your associates or the public as a "cold" well, in that case I hope it kills you before you pass the Infection on to any In nocent . bystander. 4. There is no such specific in disposition,' ailment, illness or disease as "the common cold" 9hd 'any physician ar health of ficer who prates about "the com mon cold" Is Just prating. 1 8, You can find no description or definition i of "the common cold" In scientific medical litera ture.
