(Official City, State and County New: MAINE RESULTS If the nation goes politically as does Maine, then Herbert Hoover should defeat Al Smith two to one. Of course, the Maine barometer decides nothing, but it is very significant that Senator Hale defeated Herbert E. Holmes, his Democratic opponent, more than two to one. The Democratic candidate for United States sen- ator used a phonograph and an emphatie endorsement of Al Smith to lure votes. He was decidedly wet also. Maine Republicans or voters in general may or may not be typical American voters, but The Tribune is in- clined to believe they are. However, it is never safe to predict a sweeping Republican victory upon the basis of the Maine vote. If the Maine vote had been very close, then the Democrats would have a very justifiable hope that Al Smith can make a dent in the usual majorities returned from states admittedly Republican, The Maine results, however, should dampen the ardor of those political scouts who have been telling Al Smith that he will carry Pennsylvania by 150,000 and capture many midwestern states which have almost a straight Republican record. Placing too much faith in the “wet” issue may be a failing of the Democratic leaders. Evi- dently the Maine Republicans were not weaned from the Republican principles of tariff protection by “wet” promises. Then again maybe proximity to the Canadian line makes the “wet” and “dry” less acute in Maine than in other states not so conveniently located. ? GOING SOMEWHERE Looking over the American scene, a visitor observes that no other people “‘run around on wheels as much as Americans do, or live so much in transit.” “Where are they going, what is their rush, what do they expect to find?” he asks. “No rational explana- tion can suffice for a wandering so purposcless.” The visitor’s impression of motor touring in the United States was a nightmare of road signs, back exles, farm buildings, towns passed at thirty miles an hour, pennants, paper bathing girls, hot dog stands and @ never-ending road. There is something more than this to America-on- 1s, Something more than the roving spirit and aless wandering is keeping the highways jammed automobiles from all states. The department of the interior at Washington has a “rational explanation.” It reports that since 1921 more than 1,400,000 automobiles and busses carrying 10,000,000 passengers, have toured the national paris. In five years this tourist stream has increased 30 per cent. This year’s increase is 5 per cent. Is this national desire to see America something to be discouraged? Is a nation to be ridiculed because Pprovincialism and its‘ handmaidens, selfishness and ig- morance, sicken it? Is it bad for a people to seek tional understanding? If the answers are in the posi- tive then all this wandering is “purposeless.” VETERANS RETURN TO CUBA Memories of three decades ago will be revived by the ‘gnnouncement that the next annual encampment of the United Spanish War Veterans will be held in Havana in October. Reminiscent of the Maine will be the ar- Tival of the battleship Texas with the official party. Twenty thousand Americans will participate in this second invasion of Cuba. In the invading hordes will be veterans of the Spanish-American war and heroes of the World war, Boxer Rebellion and Philippine in- surrection. The short and comparatively bloodless war with spain Seems rather remote now; but there are great numbers of Americans still living who remember the intense ex- citement occasioned by the sinking of the battleship Maine and the rapid succession of historical events that - followed and reached a climax in the capture of the ~ Spapish navy in Manila Bay. _ Cubs feels that that war was fought for her, for she has profited most from the American victory. In the gears tha‘ have elapsed since 1898 she has been trans- formed. from a dirty, poverty-stricken island into a and of beauty and wealth. The returning Spanish- Ameri war veterans will see a far different pan- @rama spread out before them than they did when they @mtered Havana Bay thirty years ago. . But Cuba did not reap all the benefits from that con- Mict. It forced the world to recognize the United Btates as a world power, and it ended for all time Euro- aaa, with the political affairs of the HONEST MERCHANDISING = It is the proud boast of business that salesmanship nd the whole process of retail merchandising are on a | Kigher plane than formerly. But there are abuses and @xerescences which from time to time prove annoying ‘and burdensome to the buying public as well as to the _ better merchandising elements. Cur whole system of trade and credit is far too com- plicated to lay down the hard-and-fast rule that all purchases must be made at home, or to charge the con- ‘sumer with disloyalty if he or she occasionally makes | # purchase through the mails. Yet where quality, price E Std service are anything like equal, it is a poor citizen 8. Certainly it fs a foolish and unthinkable con- ‘who will listen to the blandishments of irrespons- ele strangers and outsiders with inferior goods to sell. Bt never does to say that any one form of merchandis- - We is the best or only appropriate method. The loca! ‘Who does not give much of his patronage to home in- | duced a castle and should be treated with respect. Its invasion for business purposes should be under responsible aus- pices only. WHY BYRD'S FOLLOWERS ARE FORTUNATE MEN What is the most fortunate group of men you can think of, off-hand? There are nlenty of possible answers; but we would say that the men who are now going to the Antarctic on Commander Richard E. Byrd’s ship, The City of New York, arc the luckiest men we know of. We don’t mean by that that they are lucky to be en- gaging in a great adventure—although that, if you have the right sort of temperament, is a great stroke of for- tune, They are lucky beyond all the rest of us for the sim- ple reason that they are privileged to follow a great leader who can call forth every bit of loyalty and devo- tion and courage their hearts can produce. The accounts of Byrd’s departure from his crew were significant. After making a brief speech, telling the men that their families would be looked after in their absence and that they need not worry about troubles at home, the commander went about the ship taking each man by the hand, calling him by name end giving him some little personal message. Then. as he went ashore, the old ship rang with the cheers of his crew. All of that was fairly simple, of course. Yet, between the lines of the news dispatches that described it, we can read, easily enough, a tale of the most intense loyalty and affection given Byrd by his followers. No matter what mishaps or dangers these men may find down in the frostbound solitudes at the bot‘o~ of the world, it may be surmised that they will be sustained by the most complete confidence in their leader, And it is precisely that—the privilege of following someone *> whom you cen unreservedly submit—that is one of the greatest privileges life can offer. "Few of us are born to be lesders. It is our destiny to follow. Our only hope of accomplishment lies in finding the proper leader. We have incalculable capa- bilities within us, if on!y someone will call them forth. But mostly we fail. We never find the man who can draw from us the last drop of fid endurance and sacrifice. Our potentialities are wa Byrd's men are lucky. They have found their leader. The ordinary mortal—you and I and the rest of cannot hope for a greater boon. In no other way can we hope to fulfill our possibilities for service. | For genuine obscurity, suppose there were a vice- lency of Italy. 3 Editorial Comment OLD GAG RUINED (Ohio State Journal) That whiskered wisccrack about the man who makes the hotes in Swiss cheese is no jok2 atcer a:l. ‘ihere is such a person.

HOOVER AT THE OLD HOME ( Columbus, Ohio, State Journal) In his speech at the home of his childhood Mr. Hoover | Sort of stripped to the soul, as Jim Riley said. Muca of it was reminiscence of the simple, homely, who!esom> surroundings and activities of the little country boy of ifty y: How much the great man owes to that early environment! He caid he wished every American boy and girl might have such an entry into fife and one can understand that. It seems too bad that all boys and girls cannot be brought up in the country or in friendly little towns but we suppose the city children of years ago have their happy, wholesome recollections, tdo.. The great thing is that, in country or in city, they were all children then, full of eager, wondering interest in all things about them, making the most of such environment as fell to their lot and storing up happy memories for use long after. What Mr. Hoover said about Aunt Hannah, Uncle Allan, the swimming hole, th fish and the creeks, the prairie chickens and the rabbits, the wonder of the growing crops and the glories of the snowy winter—it all strikes a responsive chord in the heart of every mid- dle-aged man, though his childhopd memories may be of cobblestones and gas lamps at the street corners. The spirit of happy childhood is the same anywhere. FROM-WAR TO PEACE (Time) The German Republic has no war office but instead a “ministry of defense.” Thorefore French pacifists find it intolerable that France still ha: war.” A few days ago the situation was fii 80 grave that War Minister Paul Painleve sped out to Bourg and there proposed amid pacifist plaudits that his war office shall be renamed the “ministry of peace.” Furthermore, continued good M. Painleve, the word war ought to be expunged from written or spoken ut- terance, daring peace times, so that in a crisis the ve mention of “WAR!” would’ shock and arouse erie opinion to combat the scourge. Should the title of U, S. Secretary of War Dwight Filey Davis be changed, in the near future, he would probably become not “secretary of peace” but “secretary of ths science of national defense.” This observers de- from the fact that President Calvin Coolidge said at Wausau, Wis., recently: “We cherish no sentiment of Apecrenion. *** But * * * for the government (of the |. S.) to disregard the science of national defense would’ expose it to the contempt of its citizens at home and of the world abroad. It would be an attempt to evade our share of the burdens of civilization.” Militarists look forward to a day when the nations will no longer fight “wars,” but will instead send out battalions of “scientists” to share the burdens of civil- ization by exterminating each other under the guidance of “ministries of peace.” : Ne between a two aad a one. oll: Ledger-Dis bat assrtss woke, Wat you ass ive siybody the fow described as the New York. : splat, Sree le How efficient teaching has this teen?

The consular branch of the servi which complained bitterly that was getting a raw deal from the controlling diplomatic clique in the department, apparently is going to be vindicated. _The House will have before it a bill introduced by Representative Edith Nourse Rogers and already passed by the Senate which will pro- ide for. drastic changes. ~ .. |the dissatisfied consuls, who have claimed that young men in the diplo- matic branch with pull and “social background” have been promoted \consistently over the backs of older and abler men bg a clique dominating ithe personnel board.

No consul or diplomat would be pro- toted until he had served four-years jin the class to which he was admit- ted. Officers who fail to be recom- mended for promotion from a class below Class I after eight years serv- ice therein would be retired from the service. Other provisions, such as the reclassifications, annual salary in- ‘creases, the four-year clause and the Weeding out provision are meant to cope with the present stagnation re- {sulting from improper promotions ,of favored young men to top grades where they effectually block upward ‘progres of older men still remain- jing in grades below. The Rogers bill, which was fath- ered in the Sonate by Senator George Moses, dces not correct injustices al- ready inflicted. But it guards for ithe future. In some quarters at the : State Department it is not exactly !popular.

This is most fre- quently caused by defective venti! tion. Scientists have made some remark- able investigations into the prob- lems of- ventilation, and they have discovered that one of the chief dif- | ficulties of crowded rooms is over- heating. It has been experimentally proven that a crowded lecture hall filled with drowsy people can be made more comfortable and the audi- ence more wide awake if one or two electric fans are installed. Electric 'fans do not increase the amount of oxygen in the air, or decrease the amount of carbon dioxide, but they do stir up the atmosphere so that there is a greater evaporation from the skin, In the dry heat of the desert, peo- ple can retain their vigor and work under a temperature that would | cause heat prostration to those in humid “climates. In the Coachella Valley farmers will sometimes work | in a temperature of 125 degrees to 130 degrees F. and be less inconven- ienced than those people in New York City would be at a temperature of 98 degrees F. The body’s heat regulating mechan- | ism is not as effective as many peo- ple suppose, since the temperature of the body may rise to one or more degrees above normal in a heated room that is saturated with moisture. This is because the body is unable to cool itself by evaporation of moisture from the skin when the atmosphere is saturated. When the electric fan works prop- erly, it cools the body by creating an air current. Air currents are now recognized as being of grea! portance for churches, theatres, and lecture halls. Of course, it is im- portant not only to have a moving current of air within a room, but al- so to have a fresh supply of air so that the oxygen may be constantly replenished. Manufacturers have found that in a well ventilated factory the health of workers is pteserved and their productive powers are greatly in- creased. After careful experimentation it temperature for comfort in a room is from 68 degrees to 78 degrees F. When you enter 9 poorly ventilated room, you probably have noticed an oppressive, bad odor and high tem- perature. The bad odor is due to sev- eral causes, principally perspiration, i burned gas, foods and . The oppressive feeling large amount of moisture lin the room which comes from per- spiration and respiration. During the warm weather when the humidity is high, it is necessary to keep the air constantly stirred up, but in the cold weather, when the air from the outside is brought into the house and warmed, it absorbs mois- jture very rapidly—so rapidly that the moisture of the linings of the nose, throat and bronchial tubes, which must at all times be kept i | i has been determined that the best |! is sometimes evaporated « readily as to produce irrtation anc inflammation of these membranes For this on, a heating system ir : Dr. McCoy will gladly answer personal questions on health and on ed care e Enclose a stamped addressed envelope for reply. the winter should provide moisture and pans of water should be placec on stoves or radiators. Windows should never be entirely closed, even in the coldest weather. Strong drafts may be prevented by deflecting the current of air by a window rd or other contrivance that will throw the incoming air up- wardly, or allow the incoming air to be heated by allowing it to pass through or near the heating device. The importance of fresh air at the proper temperature and humidity cannot be overestimated as a hy- gienic measure for maintaining and preserving our best health. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Question: Mrs. D. R. asks: “Can you tell me whether children born of older parents are more intelligent than those born of young parents?” Answer: The influence of the ag: of the parent upon the child has never been accurately scientifically determined. Parents with active brains, regardless of their ages, us- ually have intelligent children. It is supposed that younger parents have children that are stronger physically, and older parents have children that are stronger mentally, although this belief is not recognized by science. Question: Alice J. asks: “Do the food colorings, sold in paste and li- quid form for household use, con- tain anything that would be harm- ful to one’s health?” Answer: The various color ex- tracts now on the market are made mostly from harmless vegetable and color extracts, supplemented by a number of coal tar, or aniline, dyes, approved by the government after painstaking investigation and analy- sis. As long as their use is solely to enhance the enjoyment of foods and not to conceal their inferiority, do not consider these colotings particularly harmful,especially since they are used in such limited quan- tities. : Question: W. K. asks: “What causes pellagra?” Answer: Pellagra is a disorder caused partly by the absence of or- ganic minerals in your food, and |partly because of the acidosis pro- duced from using an excess of over- refined starch—taking for example. such devitalized food as cornmeal |from which the hull has been entirely \removed.
