(That is the ordinary proportion of polynuclear white corpuscles seen in cases of acute inflammation or more particularly suppuration). ui Now comes an interesting contribution made by these Los Angeles phy- cians, At 10 p. m. ten cc. (ampule) of a ten per cent solution of calcium chlorid was given intravenously with immediate relief of pain and total re- laxation of the spastic muscles, Ten minutes later the patient was sitting < up in bed, smoking and drinking and complaining only of some aching in feet and throat, Make a note, Mrs. Samsey, and you, too, Ben Told. If anybody on your w beat gets bitten by a black widow, come a-runnin’ with the information about calcium chlorid. The cure, however, was not permanent. Alas, it seems a shame to spoil @ perfect story, but the truth must be told, let the chips fall where they may. The patient received a hypodermic injection of a narcotic to insure sleep that night. At 7:30 next there was recurrence of the pain, and a second ten cubic centimeters of the 10% solution of calcium chlorid was injected into a vein, and again the patient experienced prompt and com- plete relief. Still a third time that same evening pains returned, and this time one gram (about 15 grains) of calcium gluconate was given by mouth and another hypodermic injection of narcotic, and this brought re- lef in 15 minutes. Three hours later it was necessary to repeat these medi- cines, and again at 2p. m. the fourth day, with relief of pain in both in- stances within 15 minutes. Patient was discharged symptomless the evening of the fourth day. Four other cases are reported by the Los Angeles physicians. In one case excrutiating pains in lower chest and lumbar regions were completely dis- pelled within one minute after an intramuscular injection of 10 cc. of 10% solution of calcium gluconate. Calcium gluconate was“chosen because it is easier to administer by injection into muscle tissue. Calcium chlorid is perferred where the injection is given directly into a vein.

Much contusion exists as to the nature of the old age provisions. Here, in tabloid, is what the bill really contains: " ee OLD AGE PENSIONS Congress appropriates $50,000,000 for those now aged and needy, matching state assistance up to $15 a month ia individual, though states may pay more than $90 if Age qualification for benefits is 65 years, but states are permitted to make it 70 until 1940. States may im- Pose additional eligibility requirements, such as means and moral character tests, but residence requirement may not exceed five years in the previous nine years, To receive federal aid, the state must establish a state-wide old age assistance system of its own. Anyone denied old age aid may appeal to state agency. System is permanent, providing in future for aged needy not under federal old age insurance system. About 1,000,000 persons over 65 are now on relief; not more than 1,125,000, including most of these, are expected to be cov- ered at first, many by only small grants, but number will rapidly increase. Money will be available as soon as SSB is set up and state systems are established—as some already are—and ‘approved. ‘ ee COMPULSORY CONTRIBUTORY OLD AGE INSURANCE Likely to cover 25,000,000 people, enabling younger persons to receive old age benefits on retirement from |# work at 65 or later. Wages of employes up to first $3,000 and payrolls of employers to be taxed equally at 1 per cent beginning 1937, gradually increasing to 3 per cent each and total of 6 per cent by 1949.

Two Major Decisions Monday was a big day in Washington, what with the NRA being handed a knockout wallop and the Frazier-Lemke moratorium measure being tucked away among the things that might have been, both by decision of the su- preme court. The national reaction to the two decisions remains to be determined but, as so often is the case, they may prove to be of more benefit than harm. OLITICS The national moratorium act was, presum- ably, of great benefit to farmers, yet compara- tively few of them have moved to take advan- tage of it and some of those obviously have been trying to “chisel” on their honest debts. Designed to aid the honest, hard-working man who was struggling to work out of a morass of debt, it DID offer temptation to the man who was inclined to be a little less than square. Besides, the need for such a law had begun to decline at just about the time the act became effective. As pointed out by Liberal Justice Brandeis in the court’s decision, congress has made other provision for helping the farmer. The refinance system, set up through the land bank, had reduced the pressure considerably by the time congress acted to make a judicial moratorium on farm debts a lawful thing. We didn’t make much use of the Frazier- Lemke act when we had it and we will not greatly miss it. As to the NRA, the court’s decision only emphasized what everyone already knows, that the codes, in many details, were unworkable. So many feathers had been pulled from the Blue Eagle before the court finally took it to the chopping block that it was hardly recog- nizable as the same bird which fluttered forth 80 gaily two years ago. Two of the three major advances made by NRA quite probably.can be saved by proper congressional action. These are the maximum- hour and minimum-wage provisions. The third, elimination of child labor, has been held by the court in a previous decision to be beyond the proper scope of congressional action without a constitutional amendment. That amendment already is on the way. A large number of states already have ratified it and the prospect is that, with the protection of NRA removed from child labor, the American people will pro- test against a return to that evil. The decision should give impetus to the drive for the amend- ment and the next two years should see it en- acted into law. It is by no means certain that the machine set up to administer NRA will immediately be dismantled. A more likely prospect is that congress will attempt to write a sort of mini- ™mum wage-maximum hour code for all industry and that at least a part of the people now em- ployed by NRA will be needed to supervise its enforcement. There is no reason to believe that the court’s decision calls a halt to all efforts to raise economic and social standards by public action. It merely defines the form which, un- der the constitution, such action must take. Jobs for Veterans It is interesting to note that a number of cities, driven by the desire to find work for unemployed war veterans and also by budgetary difficulties which have reduced police forces below the required limits, are ex- perimenting with the stunt of giving war veterans relief jobs directing traffic about school zones, thus freeing Policemen formerly detailed to such posts for crime pre- vention duties, In some ways there is much to recommend this scheme. It is a reminder that much of the time and energy of a police force is taken up by jobs which really have nothing to do with the fight against crime, Guarding school children against traffic dangers re- quires no specialized training. To give the detail to needy veterans, and use policemen for jobs that only Policemen can do, sounds like good common sense. ‘The department of justice is mailing descriptions and pictures of “wanted” criminals to newspaper edi- tors.

Death benefits provided. Inapplicable to em- ployes over 60 or where employer has fewer than 10 em- ployes, according to house bill; fewer than-four, to senate bill. gece VOLUNTARY OLD AGE ANNUITIES Omitted by house, but proposed by senate finance committee. Designed to cover professional, self-em- ployed, white collar, small establishment and other groups not otherwise covered. Treasury would sell annuities at cost, probably through postoffices, purchasable by small installments or lump sum in amounts sufficient to provide life incomes of from $5 to $100 a month at age of 65. eee UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE Operated by state systems and uniform federal pay- roll tax on all employers of four or more (or 10 or more) persons of 1 per cent in 1936, 2 per cent in 1937, 3 per cent in 1938 and thereafter. Covers possibly 20,000,000 people under present con- ditions and receipts anticipated at $900,000,000 a year by NATION'S CAPITOL By BYRON PRICE (Chief of Bureau, Associated Press, 4 Washington) One feature of the president’s bonus Responding point by point to the statements in the preamble of the Patman bill, Mr. Roosevelt declared with a maximum of directness: “The final ‘whereas’ clause, stating that spending the money is the most effective means of hastening recov- ery, is so ill-considered that little comment is necessary.” i He added that the vast appropria- tions spent and about to be spent by the present administration were “pre- dicated, not on the mere spending of 1950. Employers credited with 90 per cent of what they pay any state employment insurance system, treasury retaining 10 per cent and financing _— administration expense. Payments begin in No means test, but states have wide discretion as to conditions, amount, and duration of payments. Individual companies may pay into their own reserve pools where state systems permit. Excluded: Same groups as in contributory old age insurance. OTHER APPROPRIATIONS Federal grant-ald to states on annual matching basis, including $25,000,000 for aid of dependent children (mothers’ pensions), $4,000,000 for maternal and child health, $3,000,000 for blind, $3,000,000 for crippled chil- dren, $1,500,000 for rural child welfare, and $10,000,000 for extension of public health service. Court tests of the constitutionality of the compul- sory sections are certain. Administration forces insist the taxing powers of congress cover the act in that re- spect.

With Other DITORS Russia and Hitler (Duluth Herald) A recent cablegram from Berlin said the Hitler government may consider the wisdom of making a non- aggression pact with Russia. There is no reason on the surface why such @ pact will not be made. But such ®& pact would be superficial. The social and economic philosophies of these two nations are very different. They have nothing of major importance in ideas in common. But in a strictly na- tionalistic view, there is no impending clash there. Neither one has territory which the other seeks. Beyond that, these powers both hold that any bar- gain is merely an expression of the status quo, a sort of definition or temporary acceptance of things as they are.

Roses, white and pink and crimson, burned in the borders. As she flung the warm, wrinkled linen. garments from her she could hear Bertine’s staccato tones and John’s deep voice in reply. A certain péace and contentment, seemed to brood over the house. eee KAtHanine slipped her arms into the sleeves of a creamy silk dressing gown with @ dark blue monogram worked upon the pockets, and laced the heavy blue cord about her. In a bathroom whose tiles were the shade of the water in a shallow pool she rap her generous tub. Bertine might be a strenuous person to live with, but she was a good housekeeper. There were thick enowy towels in the racks; the bath salts and the fat balls of soap were greeny-blue; the chrome fixtures shone. Sheer curtains, spotless white, fluttered at the windows, and dolphins dis ported themselves on # green show- er curtain. Katharine, soaping and splash- ing, bad a vision of herself in starched white at an office door. “Dr. Kaye? But he's expecting you, Mrs. Browning . . .” She would be the one who would count sponges at the grave opera tion. She would save the little soy gasping for breath...
