No one can guarantee that such a thing will not happen, but it is comforting to know that, to far as anyone can tell, they never have ccurred in North Dakota. Earthquakes are generally attributed to a shifting beneath the earth’s surface because of jwhat are known as faults and they usually occur in mountainous districts. Areas in which Wolcanoes are found seem peculiarly subject to them. , Bis- Y ehind the Scenes in Washington By RODNEY DUTCHER Washington, Oct. 25.—The staunchest defender of the New Deal could hardly profess that it doesn’t have its silly phases, You wouldn’t know where to begin or end if you started to list those phases in detail. But most of the local folk would begin with the celebrated old McLéan mansion, scene of the wildest ahd gaudiest parties of official and unofficial society here during Harding-Coolidge-Hoover days. The Works Progress Administration has taken over that huge pile as headquarters for handling its projects for employment of unemployed writers, artists, and musi- cians. Incidentally, you aren't supposed to call it “the Mc- Lean mansion” any more. Orders have come down to the WPA boys and girls to refer to it as “1500 I Street,” which is the address, with admonition that the less publicity given to the nature of the place, the better. What most of the employes call it, when not in the presence of superiors—and they're not very serious about it, elther—is the “Palace of Culture.” eee BARS UP EVEN ON PRESS WPA is distinctly self-conscious about those quarters. A guard stands at the door to see that no non-employe gets in without an appointment. Even newspapermen are told that they must get written permission from an of- ficial many blocks away if they want to go inside and see anyone. That's a bizarre innovation for Washington, where sightseers customarily roam at will through government Lt ag and correspondents usually travel where they please. Newspapermen complaining about this absurdity are told that it’s only the blunder of a minor official and that the order will be countermanded. It seems that every tourist, sightseer, and unoccupied middle-aged lady in town was making @ beeline for the celebrated mansion to look it over. Hired guides would bring 40 or 50 folks ata time to show them through. And as there are no corridors and you start stumbling into desks almost as soon as you're in the door, that couldn't be allowed. Just the same, there's plenty of official sensitiveness bout the place. Especially since it leaked out that it would cost $25,000 a year, though the owners were once willing to take $16,000, the amount of the taxes. RA HAS MANSION, TOO Who Are the Slackers?

THE TEST OF PATRIOTISM TODAY (1S THE WILLINGNESS TO MAKE SACRIFICES TO KEEP THIS COUNTRY FROM BEING ee In ANOTHER WAR! a- THE MANAGEMENT OF A BOIL ‘You know as well as I do where ® pimple leaves off and a boil begins, Isn't it when you start using remedies? Boil or furuncle is an inflammation in the tissues around 8 sebaceous (oil) gland or hair follicle. The inflammation is caused by invasion of these tissues by pus-producing germs—various strains of stayphlococcl and strepto- cocci which are generally presumed to be present on the surface of the skin constantly, but which I think are likely to be present only when the skinj~ surface has recently been contaminated by contact with pus or with some- thing contaminated by pus, perhaps from some trifling pimple or some small festering abrasion or from nose or throat discharge in a case of tonsilitis or coryza, or from saliva infected by suppurating gums, or by the pus-pro- ducing germs from some other inflammation or suppuration. There is no end Of likely sources of virulent staphylococci or streptococci without imagin- ing these germs present on the normal skin surface. Given the essential germs, it is necessary to provide access to the tissues for them in order to explain the boil. Some scratch, abrasion, puncture or opening must give the germs entry; otherwise they can’t penetrate the skin and you can’t have any boil. If the skin is intact, these virulent pus-pro- ducing germs are soon killed by soap and water, or by sunlight, or by dry- ing and oxygen in the air. Keep ’em dark and moist and they may survive for a whole hour. In addition to darkness and moisture, provide suitable pabulum for the germs and they will remain in virulent condition for hours or days. No better pabulum for such germs‘ than a nice big flaxseed meal poultice. Poulticing s boil with flaxseed meal or any similar meal is a nasty and risky business. All possible advantages of such poultice treatment without the disad- varitages or objections may be obtained by substituting the hot moist anti- septic saline compress treatment. In a large vessel of boiled water still as hot as you can handle dissolve common table salt, rounded tablespoonful to the quart and sodium citrate in the same proportion. That makes a hypertonic saline solution, which favors | natural drainage from boil or wound. To render the solution antiseptic, so that any pus-germs discharged from the boil will be destroyed and no spread of infection will occur, dissolve also a heaping teaspoonful of boric acid to the quart of the saline solution. ‘ Now wring out of this solution, as hot as you can endure, large folds or compresses of gauze or washed cheesecloth and apply to the boil as you would @ poultice. A covering of rubber dam or oiled silk or greased paper and over all a hot water bottle. Change the dressing every hour. This first aid treatment is perhaps the most satisfactory first ald relief for any acute infection of wound or other lesion, where there is pain, swell- ing, redness, throbbing. 4 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Dr. Tugwell’s Resettlement Administration has also taken over a mansion, which Harry Hopkins insists is even gaudier than his WPA mansion. But RA got a fairly good bargain per square foot of floor space, even if it didn’t do as well as the Rural Electrification Adminis- tration with its mansion on Massachusetts avenue, where rooms were small enough to fit into efficient office use. Incidentally, at REA, it’s hard to decide whether you prefer the sun porch which Publicity Director M. L. Ram- say has for his office or the large room of Administrator Morris Cooke, which has a lovely mess of honeysuckle, humming birds, bluebirds, and cardinals right up against the French doors and the French windows. Coryza Whenever I swim I catch a cold. It affects only the nose, and it takes @ day or so to get rid of it. What causes it and how prevent it? (W. K.) Answer—Listen, children. You're really past kindergarten now and you » ought to put aside some of your infantile ways. Translated into adult language your prattle means you have coryza or rhinitis or stuffing up and running at the nose immediately or is it one or several hours after you enter the pool. Usual cause of this is irritation by chlorin used to disinfect the water. Prevention—clam or plug nostrils and breathe only thru mouth while in pool. sota, under a Farmer-Labor governor, present still other organization tangles.

Rarely do they refer to the approaching presidential campaign, or to what the party pro- poses to do about it. The answer is that at this stage the party managers would rather do in private what they are doing to prepare for 1936.

Retreat From California For William Randolph Hearst, noted publisher, the $un no longer shines bright on California. Its climate Bow is less salubrious than in the recent past. The sage of San Simeon has been hit—and hit hard—in the pocket- book as a result of increased taxes in the state by the golden gate. Mr. Hearst, we are told, is about to close his mansion fh California and head toward New York, the scene of bis greatest triumphs. The tax eaters have driven him put. The movie moguls also look pained when taxes are Bientioned. The gilded beauties of the screen, both male Bnd female, moan in poignant anguish at thought of faxpaying time and their bosses present a modern version f Potash and Perlmutter in their most hectic episodes. There is reason for it, of course. California’s govern- fhent has tried to be conservative (perhaps) but its bills have mounted and taxes with them, Outsiders have poured in from everywhere, attaching themselves to the relief rolls, city, county, state and federal, and those who have it have had to part with it to keep the wheels furning. It seems, according to Mr. Hearst, that Cali- fornia has a share the wealth system already functioning fm high gear. It probably got under way under cover of he excitement caused by Dr. Townsend's advocacy of the $200-a-month pension plan and Upton Sinclair’s EPIC Proposal, But granting the reason, one wonders if Mr. Hearst {will profit by running away—to New York, of all places.

There have been indications that the question of rail- Boad taxes would be brought to the fore as a political {ssue, some being prepared to claim that the state board of equalization favored the carriers. Anyone with sense will laugh if that matter raised now, for if the assessment had been greater the reduction ordered by the court would merely have been larger. If a large interstate taxpeyer thinks he is being charged too much he can appeal to the court and thus Obtain a decision entirely apart from political considers- tions.

Mr. Hearst is a native son, but his loyalty does not extend to the point where he can longer ignore the serpent in the garden. In a letter to the Hollywood editors of Variety, he re- veals that he is moving out of California because of its new income tax law. Should he remain in California more than six months of the year, his income would be subject to a 15 per cent tax. As a resident of New York state, he would have to pay a second income tax, and on top of that there is the federal levy. With these and other taxes, Mr. Hearst complains that the local, state and federal governments would be taking between 80 and 90 per cent of his income through taxation. Under the circumstances he feels compelled to quit California and close up his an Simeon and Wyntoon estates, In passing he mentions the possibility that the moving picture industry may gradually be taxed out of the state, and suggests that studios located elsewhere can be ex- pected to flourish on the misfortunes of the California taxpayer. While Mr. Hearst's letter can hardly be expected to increase his popularity in California, and may even be dismissed with derision and contempt, it nevertheless contains a bitter element of truth which other states, and all taxmakers, may profitably heed. We refer to the simple fact that excessive taxation tends to defeat its own purposes, and that governments which indulge in it are no more prudent or farsighted than the man whe killed the goose to get the golden eggs. ‘We have no doubt, as Mr. Hearst says, that Califor- nia can easily survive his exodus from that state. But what if it is simply the beginning of a far greater exodus of incomes and industries, induced by the unbearable pressure of taxation? The income tax referred to was only one of many levies passed at the last session of the legislature. The sales tax was increased to three per cent, the bank and corporation net profits tax was doubled, a staggered increase of inheritance tax rates was provided; the net result was the imposition of a new oo tax load estimated at from $98,000,000 to $115,- Mr. Hearst, it is to be suspected, is not the only tax- payer to wince at the prospect of that load. He is not the only individual in California who would as soon have @ little less sunshine in a state with a little more com- passion for the taxpayer. The moving picture industry cannot be the only one which is calculating its oppor- tunities in other states. California may console itself in the thought that it pects of the campaign have developed altogether too soon, and that nothing is to be lost by keeping comparatively quiet for the moment. when no one was looking. | McHenry Howe, secretary to Presi- BARBS ‘| dent Roosevelt. ‘Among these leaders the conviction | *~ i * * * The horse and buggy nak See was is that it would be better to let the/ Suing for divorce, a radio singer pressed by King John at Runnymede opposition exhaust itself, so far as|says she saw her husband twice in (and) by every ambitions executive possible, a year before the election;|three years, since they were mar- who at any time during the 720 years te let the aspirants for the Republi-|ried.
