A few apples, plums and cherries are grown, of course, but the production is small and uncertain.

Business men *Variously are anxious to co-operate with the “new New Deal,” working to see that the medicine prescribed for them is easy to take, or hoping to regain former prestige and power in Washington. It is understood that Roosevelt has not made up his mind as to specific measures for industry regulation, But he promised in a campaign speech to keep fighting for shorter hours, higher wages, collective bargaining, abolition of child labor and sweat- shops, falr trade practices, plus fair value, honest sales, and a decreased price spread for the consumer. Fundamental in Roosevelt's recent philosophy is his desire to reduce the power of the big concentrations of industrial and financial control. Con- gress is sure to receive certain recom- mendations arising from that desire. * *% Push Shorter Work Week Determination of labor leaders who helped win the election and prospect of a strong labor lobby in Washing- ton make wage and hour legislation a rather good bet at this time. Labor leaders are talking privately in terms of a national 35 or 36-hour week law.

Outside of the hospital and sickroom I have noticed no one wearing & nose and mouth mask since the “flu” epidemic, although I have encounter- ed a great many blighters who should have worn rhasks, and these bare- faced distributors of disease and death will continue to furnish business for the doctors as long as they have the moral support of our public health au- thorities. And the public health authorities will probably continue to give moral support to the te dispemination of the common respira- tory infections until the last old fossil who believes disease comes from drafts and change of weather is gathered to his fathers, The common respiratory infections (call it cri till the diagnosis can be made) are most infectious in the early stage, even before the individual feels ill enough to take to bed or seek treatment. The usual mode of infection is via spray droplets, visible or invisibly fine droplets, given off from nose or mouth when the infected individual or carrier coughs, sneezes or talks, It is before the on-coming illness is recognized as tonsillitis, scarlet fever; diphtheria, meningitis, influ- enza or pneumonia that the infection is spread, and it is spread chiefly in the mouth spray of polite conversation. Therefore any one who purports to have “cold” and talks with any one else within a range of five feet should wear a suitable nose snd mouth mask under penalty of « fine or @ swift kick in the pants. One can under- stand why the public health authorities are so timid about teaching the pub- lic how the cri spreads, for they are politicians and naturally do not wish to offend voters, But it is difficult to comprehend how the bare-facer peddlers of pestilence have the nerve to inflict their germ-laden mouth spray upon all and sundry in these times when anybody with the intelligence of a ten year old child knows that all of the respiratory infections are contracted precisely as measles, diphtheria or scarlet fever is contracted. The physician should wear @ mask when attending a patient ill of cri. The nurse in such @ case should wear a mask. Members of the family or visitors who must enter the sickroom should wear masks. Surgeons and their assistants in operations should wear masks, Dentists should wear masks when working at the chair. Masks protect the wearer and also the Lexa if the wearer happens to have any respiratory infection or to be & carrier, A suitable mask is made of ten layers of ordinary surgeon's gauze (cheesecloth) having @ mesh of 32 threads to the inch, about 4 by 6 inches, with tapes attached to the corners to tie the mask in place. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS * What to Do After Meals Biology class discussion whether it is correct to lie down after meals or toexercise . . . (E. G.) Answer—Light work, @ stroll, any moderate exercise is healthful im- mediately after regular meals. No very strenuous effort such as a race, & long swim, should be indulged in right after a hearty meal. Elderly or feeble folk or prematurely aged persons must rest a while after a heavy meal, but not sleep. Healthy young persons may sleep immediately after a hearty meal if so disposed. The reason why semi-invalids, with hardened arteries or other cardiovascular degeneration should not sleep immediately after a heavy meal is that they may suffer thrombosis (clotting of blood) in the brain or in the heart from slowing of circulation. Muscle Work vs. Brain Work You said “the more muscular work the more sleep required; the more brain work the less sleep required.” That does not seem reasonable . 5 (R.

Also in line with tradition, the American Legion will extend its thanks to Mr. Dahlen and those in the veterans’ erganization and its auxiliary who assisted him. That is all the pay that such folks ever receive, for one of the secrets of the success of this effort lies in devoting every dollar received to the actual work of relieving necessity among the poor, of giving Santa Claus a lift where he needs it most. But Mr. Dahlen and his co-workers will receive other thanks of which they will not be aware. were given help through his efforts cannot do otherwise than bless the impulse to public service which prompted him to accept a hard and difficult task and the ability which enabled him to do so well with it.

Railroad labor will battle for a six- hour day law, hoping thereby to put. 300,000 rallroad men back at work. Labor will also demand extension of the LaFollette labor spy-civil Uberties investigation, with adequate funds. Legislation for industrial regula- tion is fairly certain to get tangled up with the supreme court. Congres- sional rafters will ring with demands for a constitutional amendment lim- iting the court’s power.

Everything has been at- tended to, I assure you, and the officers will be here before long.” He looked at the two younger men for a minute, as though he were enjoying their embarrass- ment. Then he walked away. “A tricky devil, if one ever lived,” muttered Ramon Vasquez furiously. “He's certainly not do- ing the grieving act over his brother’s death, is he? Nor Pearl John either. I think they’re both relieved that he’s out of the way, if you ask me,” Z . N odd chuckle, coming from one of the chairs in front of the fire, made both men turn with a start, Professor Shaw peered at them around the high back of one of the seats. “Pardon my inter- |man, you were so right about that that it amuses me.

I was /here first, doing a little re~ search work.” Ramon looked at the older man for a minute without speaking. Then he turned, with an expres- sive shrug. “Of course we have no choice but to accept your story, Professor Shaw.” He took a quick turn or two about the room, then here on the mesa for several weeks. About the de Forest brothers, I am certain that Pearl Pierre is enjoying his new posi- tion as head of the family.” “And Pearl John?” asked Bob. “You can’t say he wanted to stay here with this crew.” “That’s just it,” the professor went on. “He most assuredly did not. But Pearl Sam held him against his wishes.” la ta S¢GINCE you seem to Rnow so much, Professor,” Bob said, moving a step nearer, “how about that Indian who's always at the top of the trail?
