Cool-| jdge has been at his birthplace in| Vermont recently and to this little village from 200 to 600 visitors have) been going daily. They want to} catch a glimpse of the former presi- | Justments dent and to view the room where he| took the presidential oath. Practical politicians can see no| other nominee than President Hoover. They cannot conceive of a political; impasse at the next national Repub- lican convention which could over- come the precedent which accords a ‘~second nomination to a president. They reason that if they cannot win’ with Hoover, defeat awaits the party whoever the candidate. To refuse President Hoover a renomination, would give the enemy a most potent argument against a return to power of the Republican party. There is doubt whether the great hold Cool- idge has upon the American people would triumph over the party split occasioned by the rejection of Presi-} dent Hoover. The so-called Progressives doubtless, will make a bitter fight against Pres- ident Hoover as the standard bearer in 1932, but there is no reason to be- lieve their efforts will be any more effective than those of the insurgents who sought to defeat Taft at Chicago} when the Bull Moose party resulted. ‘The opposition to Taft was well) financed and its organization was in the hands of some of the best politi- cians of the nation. Those who op- Pose Hoover may be quite articulate! but the entire group is not as formi- dable as the one arrayed against Taft. It may grow to be as effective and as potent against Hoover as the Bull Moose defection was against Taft be- fore the convention convenes, but nothing points that way as yet. President Hoover and his party leaders face a turbulent congress, No one can tell what will come of that session.

There scems to be a decided effort on the part of those in power to stay there despite the constitution and election laws. It is charged that Machado has changed the constitution and the election laws so as to perpetuate him and his party in power. A strong army has been formed at great ex- jpense to enforce his edicts by the |sword if necessary. In addition to the schemes and | Plots of the present government, there nation is suffering from an intense depression and there is great unem- ployment and other economic disturb- Various coups, aimed to unseat Machado, have not been successful. To date the United States has kept its hands off, although many appeals have been made urging intervention and a protectorate over Cuba until her government can become more stable. These appeals have fallen on deaf ears and the Hoover administra- tion is playing a waiting game. Nature in Balance Farmers who spread poison for go- phers, prairie dogs and field rodents’ last spring may not have realized that they were inviting a grasshop- per pest upon themscives, and yet Prof. A. Brazier Howell of Johns) Hopkins university, Baltimore, Md., asserts that such is the case. The rodents which naturally in-| habit a given area, Prof. Howell as- serts, “constitute the chief check on the increase of insects on the west- ern plains where there are few in- sect-eating birds. Such animals eat large quantities of grasshoppers and! dig up and devour egg cases of the insects.” He says the department of agricul-| ture is practically exterminating ro- dents by poison over thousands of square miles and this action has| caused the “terrible scourge of in-| sects.” ‘There may be violent disagreement with Prof. Howell's theory, but that the scourge has been terrible is at- all who have visited the as affected. While it probably is not flawless and leaves out many factors which must be taken into consideration in any adequate survey of the situa- tion, there seems to be some basic truth in what Prof. Howell says. When man interferes with the ad- made by nature he is: tackling a ticklish task. She has a way of keeping her forces in balance and when man interferes the results are not always what he figured they} should be. * Man's mind, apparently, 1s just not! big enough to comprehend all of the jinner workings of nature's devious} ways. | Only As a Last Resort | Experience with congress in soly- {ing extreme economic crises has not been such as to warrant enthusiasm for a special session to grapple with \them. Most often agencies out- side the governmental realm can co- operate and cope with these problems! |much more effectively than can con-| |gress with its bitter factionalism andj Politics. President Hoover is right in seek- ling to tax every agency of the execu- tive department at hand to cope with unemployment and the drought situa- tion before calling a special session. In that we believe he has the support | of the American people, for one of the | things which is not needed at present |is a special session. Later an emer- |gency may arise which will neces- sitate such action, but there are ways and means that can be used first Jas an alternative to such drastic action as a special session proposes.

MORRIS FISHBEIN (Editor, Journal of the American Medical Association) What is known as the antineuritic vitamin is not really a substance to, be used for all forms of inflammation of the nerves... The vitamin that pre- vents scurvy unquestionably has other functions, and vitamin A, which was called the antiophthalmic vita- min, has unquestionably other serv- ices for the body. Another attempt to classify vitamins is based oh the fact that they are soluble in fats or in water. Hence, vitamins A and D have been known as fat soluble A and D, and vitamin C is known as water soluble C. ‘The substance formerly known as vitamin B has been found in two dif- ferent vitamins which are now known as vitamin Bl and vitamin B2 or vitamin G, The letter F has become confused, because several different factors have been named F. No doubt, when chemistry has progressed suf- ficiently in its study of these sub- | stances their names will be changed jand the single letter designations, which must inevitably result in con- fusion, will be dropped. Whenever @ new discovery is made in medicine its commercial exploita- tion promptly follows. We are given as a nation to mass interests and to adopting promptly any new method of amusement, any new food prod- uct, or any new scientific discovery. Everyone can remember the tempor- ary craze for mah jongg, cross-coun- try walking, shaking machines for passive exercise, and ultraviolet rays. Now the furore of interest and.ex- ploitation is associated with vitamins. Practically all natural food sub- stances contain vitamins of one type or another, and the average American diet consisting of varying quantities of a variety of food substances takes care of most of the vitamin needs of the population. There is no reason | Why most people should drink a quart of orange juice daily; no reason why they should take excessive quantities of cod liver oil or cod liver oil tablets; no reason why they should expose themselves to sunlight to the point of burning. Vitamin deficiency in any single case can only be discovered by Daily Health Service Complete Knowledge of Vitamins Not Yet Totally Classified Dangerous to Take Excessive Amounts of Special Foods to Correct Any General Condition Most of what we know about the vitamins has been learned from feed- ing experiments on animals. An animal is fed.a diet deficient in zer- tain foods. It develops certain dis- ease conditions. The substance 1s then supplied and the animal recov- ers. Diets may be varied in many wéys, Today throughout ihe world there are hundreds of nutrition lab- oratories in which feeding experi- ments are carried out on fowls, fish and animals. Indeed, there are many nutrition laboratories in which young men volunteer their services in such feeding experiments for the good that may accrue to mankind. PRESENT PEACE NOTE On Aug. 21, 1917, Dr. Michaelis, the German chancellor, presented the peace note of the pope to the main committee of the Reichstag with the statement: “It is to be understood that in view of the attitude of our, enemies the German press that it is impossible fresh peace proposals. The chancellor quoted the Vor- warts of Aug. 19, as follows: “At no moment of the war has it been as clear as it is row that the responsibil- ity for the prolongation of the war rests alone with our enemies. Their answer to our outstretched hand was @ smashing blow with the fist. At this moment there is for us only one) possibility, that is to defend our-| selves and our skin.” A debate ensued in which Social- ists, Liberals, National Liberals, In- dependent Socialists and members of the German Group participated. On this date also the French cap- tured new positions along the Meuse, and the Canadians drove the Ger- mans from trenches at Lens with bayonet attacks. for us to make Among new inventions is a ma- chine that cures cold hands and feet by friction of a padded, leather-cov- ered drum, the vibration also increas- ing the blood circulation.

Veterinarians who specialize’ in gold fish or turtles or canary birds are getting as common as horse doctors of yesteryear. Taking care of an’ ordinary dog, to say nothing of a blooded hound, rapidly threatens to become a major extravagance. Within the past few years the num- ber of pet owners have increased in exact proportion to the number of strangely assorted animals. It is no longer uncommon to enter @ Park Avenue apartment and find a baby alligator occuping the bathtub. In fact the pet stores have taken to specializing in odd and unusual forms of bird, fish and animal life, since the demand lately has been for the unique in pets. Few of the rare specimens live very long. Even & puppy born in New York has a slight chance of survival. The distemper average for Manhat- tan is higher than any other place where young dogs are concerned. For that reason, most kennels are outside the city. Dogs are reared to a certain age in Connecticut, Jersey or upper New York state. Otherwise the “dog doctor” is frequently consulted. A friend of mine who makes but a‘very ordinary living, but who hap- pens to be a dog fancier, recently ran up a bill of $200 in “dog doctor ills” within a few weeks. Then the dog had to be shot anyway. * * # ‘With all due respect to dog lovers, and I am often one of them, I have too much fondness for even a home- less nondescript purp to ask it to share the ways of an apartment idweller. Frequently I read of gents who keep their dogs in Manhattan hotels and apartments. Well, I like dogs too well to do it. After all, a dog is entitled to a cer- tain freedom of range. It coems to me the so-called dog lovers who im- prison a canine anima] within a re- stricted three-room or one-floor dwelling place are not doing right by our Fido. Every day of the year the avenues and parkways are cluttered with persons taking little Fifi out for exercise. The presumption is that a dog should be exercised three times a day. Once I tried it. But my hours, somehow, never agreed with those of the dog. For months I tried to sell myself on the idea that I needed ex- ercise more than the dog did. But just about that time I would come hohe from the office in a state of acute fatigue, my wife would com- ment that she had to make dinner was a deep and understanding devo- toward poor Rip, I came to look uisance when I came sleepily home from some night club or theater affair late hours of the night, and re- alized that my weary eyes would not be allowed to close until I had taken Rip around the or few times. * * T’m aware that it wasn’t the poor hound’s fault. It was mine for as- suming that a dog could get anything like an even break in the big city. ‘There are, to be sure, a great number of wealthy persons who can hire the janitor, the maid, or the chauffeur to take a dog for a couple of rounds of Central Park. Quite aside from this, the business of surgery has become highly spec- falized where other pets are con- 5 4 the thing to have around the but there's something about city life that gives them slightly goiterous growths on their necks. And there are any number of specialists in fish —particularly various forms of gold fish. The New York Aquarium has @ regular staff of experts who may be called upon for “private cases,” and who look after the thousands of exhibition fish in the meantime. GILBERT SWAN.
