(Official City, State and County Newspaper) BOSTON NEW ERA IN CROSSING THE ATLANTIC The world is at another of those epochal periods of great change in the speed and nature of travel. Two events of the day impress this belief. The German steamship Bremen, of the North German Lloyd line, crosses the Atlantic in less time than any passenger liner ever has crossed the ocean before. Meanwhile, also in Germany, a 100-passenger flying boat makes a test flight which is far from what air passage over the At- lantic would be, but on even the feeble first effort it is accepted by the designer as assurance that he has suc- ceeded in putting together an air craft that will perform the amazing feat which is its goal. ‘While the world seeks to visualize the possible fact that the 100-passenger airplane is at hand, it is the perform- ance of the Bremen that for the present is a guaranty of speedier travel across the Atlantic. For it not only is the ambition of the Germans to hold that record by building new and faster and larger steamships of the Bremen type, but American shipbuilders are going after the mark also and preparations are being made to lay the keels of two liners that will be speedier than the North German ship. As to the attempt to make 100-passenger flight across the same ocean a fact, one wonders whether this gigantic Petition in ocean transport as that begun by the earlier liners, which swept the sailing craft almost off the wa- ters. Will this airplane make these mighty liners as ob- solete as the liners made the caravels of Columbus? ‘Thus far airplanes haven't exactly demonstrated their safety and dependability in transoceanic voyages. The flyers who have made the trip have only proved that they were very capable and brave; they haven't convinced us that the ocean liner is on its way to join the square- rigged ship in the limbo of things that have been. This, however, is an unpredictable world, and the new German seaplane is an amazing sort of device. Imagine, if you can, an airplane with three decks, pro- viding accommodations for 100 passengers, mounting @ dozen motors and yet rising from the water as neatly and gracefully as a light scouting seaplane. To see a ferry boat take wings and sail off over the waterfront would hardly be less astounding. This new German Plane, moreover, is essentially an experimental plane; what its descendants may be like is a matter for a gifted imagination. Ever since men on the two sides of the Atlantic began to travel back and forth and ship cargoes to one another they have been obsessed by a desire for speed. At the dawn of the last century the best ship could not get across in less than a month. Then the designers of Baltimore and Boston invented the clipper—a graceful, sharp-nosed sailing vessel that went like a race horse— and cut the time to a fortnight. Just as the clippers were being brought to perfection, the steamships elbowed them aside, cutting their time by hours and days. Before the nineteenth century ended the time had been brought under a week; and now the Bremen reduces it to less than five days. But will this be low enough? Officials of the United States lines believe their projected liners will beat the Bremen's record; and you may be sure that the British builders will have some sort of answer, too.” And, meanwhile, an unbelievable, three-decked air- plane sails over Friedrichshafen—and, if you are of a speculative turn of mind, you might give it a thought or two. It may do to the Bremen just what the steamers of 1850 and 1860 did to the sovereign of the seas. ‘To be sure, the chances are that it won't. But this is an era in which almost anything can happen. NEW MORALITY OF BUSINESS ‘There is one form of evolution that is more fact than theory and in which all believe. It is the evolution of emptor period to the present era of service first. Centuries have elapsed while business has risen from haggle and berter to fixed fair prices; from tricks of the trade to open square dealing, from “buyer beware” to “customer be satisfied,” from the closed deal to the other commercial pursuits, but in the south industrialism tends to make the states more literate. Such concrete evidence that literacy prevails in both rural and urban America is gratifying to educators and the public at large. The literacy census has found cul- ture in the country, although the cultural centers are in the larger cities. The results of the national literacy tests hold forth a challenge to every state and section of the country. The manufacturing states of the east have the immigration problem but will be aided in increasing literacy among this class by new immigration laws. By educating the rising generations of negroes, poor whites and mountain- eers the south will eventuslly stamp out illiteracy. The ‘west must deliver education to its alien population and to the settlers in its. plains and mountains. ‘EMOTIONAL INSANITY’ An old familiar acquaintance—“emotional insanity’— is about to appear on the scene once more. This tried and true comrade of murderers is to constitute the chief de- fense of Dr. James H. Snook of Columbus, O., who is on trial for the murder of Miss Theora Hix. Dr. Snook, it is said, will tell the jury that he docs not remember just what did happen; and his lawyers will contend that this proves he was a victim of “emotional insanity” when the girl was killed, and hence is not to be held accountable for what he did. It happens that three alienists have already examined the former university professor and have found him sane. But will that make any difference? You know it won't. The whole question will be raised again, there will be new alienists to contradict the first three, and all of us will get additionally disgusted with the way our courts handle the whole subject of mental responsibility for crime. ADVERTISING BY PLANE The flight of the “Houston—Billion Dollar City” opens a new and slightly terrifying idea about aerial advertis- ing. Planes have advertised cities before—as witness Lind- bergh’s “Spirit of St. Louis.” But now we have not only @ city’s name, but a mouth-filling slogan as well. And every paper that prints a story about the doings of this Plane must, of necessity, place before its readers Hous- ton’s billion-dollar boast. This sort of thing has possibilities. Are we to see air- plat bearing such names as “Drive the Skidmore Se- dan” or “Eat That German Excelsior Cereal”? If we do, these Houston flyers can get the credit—or otherwise— for starting it. CATCHING UP WITH THE MACHINERY The recent endurance flight of the airplanc, City of Cleveland, very neatly points a moral for our modern times. ‘That airplane, which stayed in the air for upwards of six and one-half days, finally came down because the human element had been worn out. Plane and engine were fit for much more flying. They could have gone on for many hours or days longer. But the flyers were exhausted. They could stand no more—which, consider- ing the strain they had been under, is not at all remark- able. The moral? Simply this: in aviation, as in many other fields of life nowadays, the machines can do their Part better than the men who run them. We have devised machinery that is better than we are. It does not. fail us; we fail it. During the next few decades the chief task that faces us is the task of catching up with our technical and me- chanical advances. ‘The fellow who meets a girl in her evening wrap should Permit his impression to remain comatose until he sees her in her morning wrapper. If he can remember when young men kept their hair Plastered down with sweat, he is an old-timer. The man who is out of harmony with his relatives Probably has either money or a bad disposition. ‘Women formerly wore the wedding ring on the thumb, now they wear the husband under it.

They show you someone you can trust, When a financial bubble bursts, a lot of suckers get sprayed. | Editorial Comment | THE TOURIST WORM TURNS otis Lag Lous Globe-Democrat) ss rs are crowded and agencies on this side of the water say that up to date about the usual amount of funds are being taken abroad in letters of credit and in other forms, but France is finding a sharp decline in tourist trade from America and is recording in gloomy expressions its disappointment and alarm. The inference is that with the tourist tide about as usual at this stage of the season, France is not getting its normal share, and the shipping offices confirm the in- ference. The American millionaire and the American school-teacher are going in greater numbers to Germany and the British Isles and in less numbers to France, and France itself is no longer oblivious of the reason. Not only is tribute at special rates customarily levied at every turn on the American tourist by French shop- hotels, guides, taxis, cafes, places of historical interest, but the French government looks on him as an opulent source of legitimate public revenue and has been levying on him all the traffic would bear and, as it ap- Pears, something more.

This is a dangerous plan, as the poison some- times spreads rapidly and causes very serious consequences. There are many varieties of this plant, known by various popular names, such as poison oak, poison su- mac, and poison ivy. They cause a severe inflammation of the skin and in severe cases the poisons may even extend internally, being carried by the blood to all parts of the body. These plants secrete a clear, trans- parent poisonous oil which is insolu- ble in water, and their leaves and bark are covered with it. Some people are more subject to these poisonings than others. Those who have sensitive mucous membranes or a skin which cannot resist vine poisoning are in every case suffering from a definite case of acidosis. Unusually contact with the plant is necessary to pro- duce poisoning, but some are so sens- itive that if they pass in the vicinity of these piants they will be poisoned, especially if the plants have just been agitated by some one previously pass- ing by or by a breeze. In cases of fire where these plants are burned, the smoke will sometimes carry the irri- tating poisoning. A few people have such good blood alkalinity that they can chew and swallow the leaves without any def- inite results. Such a normal alkalin- ity should be kept by all people at all times and if this were done there would be little danger of poisoning from this source. If, however, you do contract vine poisoning, the follow- ing treatment will be found effec- tive: When the first signs of a rash ap- pear, go immediately to the bathroom and prepare 2 weak solution of lye- water, using one teaspoonful of dry lye to a quart of water. Have this so- lution ready by the side of the bath tub. Next, take a luke warm shower bath, or dip down in the tub of wa- ter so that the body becomes wet all over, then reach over and dip a nail brush in the lye solution. Vigorously brush the affected parts for two or three seconds, and for several inches around where the rash shows. Im- mediately wash off the solution with @ warm shower or emorse the body completely in the tub of water, wash- | ing off every bit of the lye solution.

Your druggist can prepa: such a solution for you. This is an¢ other alkali, which will counteract any oil that comes to the surface. may be necessary to paint the affect parts for several days. If you are susceptible to poison oak, you can sometimes prevent the poie soning by rubbing on the skin a tey per cent solution of iron chloride bee fore and after your journeys into the woods, move all of the toxin.

Dip the tips of your fingers several timey daily in alum water. Every time you start biting your nails you will be discouraged to do so by the taste of the alum. At the same time start live ing on the diet I recommend in my weekly menus. Water With Meals Question—G. F. D. writes: “In your weekly menus you never mention any drink with a meal. Is water not ta be used with meals?” Answer—If you feel thirsty at meal time, drink a small amount of water without ice. It is much better, howe ever, to do your water drinking be. tween meals. Let your thirst dictat the amount, and you will finally get into the habit of drinking away from meals and not with them. * Tongue Burns Question—Mrs. W. C.

Can you ade vance @ cause for this disagreeable trouble, and tell me how to remedy it?” Answer—In the first place, you are at least 30 pounds overweight. If you will diet to reduce your weight to normal I am sure the tongue burning will disappear, as the same diet which will reduce your weight will remove the excess stomach acidity which is no doubt the cause of the burning. # (Copyright, 1929, by The Bell Syndi< cate, Inc.) 4 One hundred and thirty-nine years ago today, on August 1, 1790, the enu- meration of the first federal census began in the United States. The result of this decennial consus showed a total population of 3,929,827, with only six cities having more than 7,500 inhabitants. The counting of population was an essential feature of the new form of government since it was to be the basis of the apportionment of repre- sentatives and direct taxes. ‘The congress which enacted the law for the first census introduced the distinction of sex and color in the enumeration of the free population, and having in view, probably, the tm- portance of determining the military strength of the newly created nation, introduced an age distinction—under 16, and 16 and over—in the enumera- tion of the free white male popula- tion. Only three-fifths of the slaves were counted in determining the ap- Pportionment. “The troubles that face all amateur sport bodies today lie in the attempt to find out what happens when the irresistible force of commercialism meets the immovable body of class tradition of amateur sport of yester- day.”—Willim - maiden, II.
