U. S. CAN SAVE MONEY IF
WAR ISN’T IN CARDS
It the average government could only find some
w»y of letting its right hand know what its left hand
doeth the world might have a far better chance of
living In pew re these days.
The other day. for example Japanese and Ameri-
can official* gathered about the grave of Commo-
dore Matthew perry m New York and axchanged
new vow* as to the eternal qualities o! the friend-
ship and harmony existing between America and
Japan.
Japaner* Ambassador fSaito sent a telegram men-
tioning "the indestiuctlMlity of the traditional friend-
ship.” An official of the American state department
remarked that Japan and America have never been
enemies and that the American people and govern-
ment "hope that the record thus established will never
be impaired - And Prudent Roosevelt from afar
Died his blessing on the memorial services to the
American seaman who brought Japan Into the mod-
em world
Now all this sounds extremely fine and might
lead one to believe that prospects for continued
peace between the two nations were never better_If
it were not that each of the governments Involved
supports s fighting force as well aa a handshaking de-
portment and that the fighters don't seem to know
just what the handshaker* are up to.
The Japanese have been spending millions on their
navy lately. They have prepared a whole chain of
Pacific Islands for war uses. They have refused to be
bound any longer by the limitations of the Washing-
ton naval treaty. And. somehow it Is Impossible to
•scape the conclusion that in doing these things they
are thinking principally of friendly old Uncle Sam
across the water.
Similarly America ha* been and still 1* spending
vast sums on its fleet. The Hawshan base is being
msde into s regular Gibraltar. There are rumors of
air base* and the like in the Aleutian islands. And
once again it ts very hard to doubt that all this is
being done with oue eye on the friendly Japanese
over beyond the Pacific.
In other words these twr> governments seem to be
playing the old game of talking peace and preparing
to fight.
Either the peace talk is a lot of hokum which isnt
meant to be taken seriously or both nation* are
■pending a lot of money that they might just as well
be using for something else
Before we go any farther we would do well to
find out which Is the case. The ordinary American
ha* no quarrel with the Japanese—Indeed he rather
likes them. And if this talk about indestructible peace
U to be taken seriously. he could save a good deal
of money on hi* naval bill.
Can't the two governments find some way of mak-
ing thetr right and left hands acquainted?

GrVF ERYSIPELAS VICTIMS PLENTY
OF rOOD FLUIDS
NUMBER 160
$
Erysipelas has had a long history and in-
numerable remedies have been recommanded for
treating it.
Frequent application of hot and cold packs
will help to relieve pains by reducing the swelling.
It Is customary to protect the eyes If the condition
affects the face by dropping mild antiseptic
solutions Into the eyes and applying antiseptic
ointments to the eyelids. These can be recommend-
ed by any physician.
Various attempts have been made to check the
advance of this disease by painting the skin with
iodine with silver nitrate and with other antisep-
tic solutions but there is no good evidence that
these accomplish much.
Sometimes In fact they conceal the spread of
ervslpelas and thus Interfere with effort# to con-
trol It. Most of these antiseptic substances too. will
stain bed linens and clothing
• • •
A new method of treatment is the application
of ultraviolet rays. This in every instance should
be supervised by a doctor because rays strong
enough to have any effect on an infection may
be Injurious.
In very severe cases blood transfusions are
given with the idea that new blood will provide
antlsubetance* capable of attacking the germs
which cause the disease.
A special anti-streptococcus serum is available
for use in erysipelas and. In some Instances this
antitoxin has seemed to have marvelous effects.
In other instances however. It has failed and some
investigators have suggested that the reason for
such failure is the Inability to get an antitoxin
made from the particular streptococcus involved
in the individual case.
Because erysipelas like other' infectious dis-
eases. will break down the blood and weaken pa-
tients generally victims of this disease are given
plenty of fluids and good nourishing food. They
may be forced to drink at least ten. and as manv
as sixteen glasses of water daily. The food should
be of the type that is easily digested without con-
taining too much material to be eliminated.
It la not safe to give strong cathartics to per-
sons with erysipelas because irritation of the bowels
in an Infection of this type may Itself eause ser-
ious complications.
• • •
A person who once hes had erysipelas unlike
those who hare had scarlet fever and measles
may have It again and again. Such people should
be particularly careful about picking the nose or
scratching the ears if these parts of the body
are frequently Irritated the use of mild ointments
or cold cream Is suggested.

Says—
Cynical Correspondent Argues Inde-
pendent Person Doesn't Need
Friends. Yes? But Where Is the
Independent Person? Some of Us
Never Have Seen One
*1 haven't a real true friend in
the world.’’ writes a correspondent
"and I can't see that friends are
necr.\sary to an independent person.
I seem to get along pretty well."
Maybe he's right and all the rest
of the world is wrong. But Diogenes
looking for an honest man. had an
easy )ob by comparison with the fel-
low who is looking for an Indepen-
dent person. Hes a rare bird the
independent man. He must have
health wealth learning colossal
conceit and a blind belief that hr
will keep all these blessings till he
dies. Does he exist?
Pearl Buck In explaining the great
passion of the Chinese for friendship
says that the Chinese live in a world
of insecurity. His government may
be swept away over night and with
it his wealth. Then he can't buy his
way along. Throughout the years
the Chinese has discovered that the
ohly sure thing in this world of in-
security is friendship. When the
day of disease comes and he is down
and out he is at the mercy of friends
who may be up at that time. Conse-
quently the Chinese begins early to
form friendships that will stand him
in good stead should he need help
and he teaches his children that the
main business of life is making
friends. Maybe this is a selfish atti-
tude but it is a sensible one.
The situation with the average
American citizen is somewhat differ-
ent. He knows security. He believes
he can count on ids government and
for the present he figures that pros-
perity has some way yet to go be-
fore it turns another comer going
away from him. There are some
other things he can count on too.
One U that no man has ever yet been
clever enough to live his life to him-
self. He's bound up with other peo-
ple whoever he is and wherever he
lives. The only solo flight he can
take la to the next world. Even then
he has to have help to take off and
It surely must be pleasanter to have
friends rather than paid employes
present on that occasion.
Friendships are not dnly good in-
surance against the future but they
furnish a lot of fun as we go along
There is the infinite pleasure of
companionship the satisfaction of
sharing your thoughts with a con-
genial spirit the pleasure of know-
ing that you have a definite place
in another's ;~tnd and heart the
big boost to your pride in having an-
other come to you with his Joys and
sorrows proving his dependence up-
on you. The man or woman that
hasn’t enjoyed this experience hasn't
begun to live.
Again the time comes to all of us
when we need a sympathetic ear
turned toward us. The time comes
when we are hungry for the word of
approval from someone who cares
for ua The time comes when we
must look to somebody for favors
and we are out of luck if there Is no
friendly hand stretched out to help.
Oh. yes. we may get along well
enough when everything Is lovelv
and the goos* Is hanging high but
look out for the turns and twists
of fate that leave us flat on our
faces. These twists come to every-1
body. Onlv those who have friends
are ready to meet them.

Behind the
Scenes in
Washington
By RODNEY DUTCHER
Tb« Brownsville Herald W whin*ten
WASHINGTON — It might be
easier to gueas the outcome of the
senate fight over the president a
supreme court bill If the Ueue did
not so often rest with politician*.
Two major categories of uncer-
tainty complicate any attempts at
prophecy.
First outsider* art unable to tell
how many senators in the pro con
and “undecided” groups are taking
their positions for the purposes of
trading with the administration and
how many are swayed by their intel-
lectual convictions.
Second the extent to which the
administration la willing or able to
use patronage and political pressure
and the extent to which the latter
will be effective art equally unpre-
dictable factors.
• • •
Never WU1 Be Told
Insiders arr beginning to get soma
light on the first factor but the hill
true story of the back-stage move-
ments never will be told.
Here ts one pretty well authen-
ticated story:
Senator A senior senator from a
certain state Is listed against the
plan. He has persuaded Senator B.
Junior senator from the state who
originally declared In favor of the
plan to reverse his position khd
come out against It. Political en-
emies say A was able to bring varied
pressure on B At any rate it ap-
pears that A is willing and able to
deliver two votea to the president if
he can have a certain $15000 a year
federal drruit court judgeship Sen-
ator A isn’t at all sure about his re-
election two years hence and the
judgeship now held by an aged
Jurist who would like to retire on
full pay. looks good to him.
At this point Senator A's political
enemies come In. Themselves hungry
for federal patronage In the old
home state they tell the president
they can build enough fires under
the senator not only to frighten him
Into voting for the plan but to bring
Senator B's vote back Into camp
along with It. The president must
decide whether to offer fenator A
the judgeship or to depend on bock
home pressure He also has the pos-
sible threat to lend administration
aid to have A defeated in 193$
Most Insiders are betting that the
president will not appoint Senator
A. whom he doesn’t like to a Judge-
ship. and that both Senator A and
Senator B will vote for the plan in
the final pinch
• • •
Want Real Reward
The dangers of prophecy operate
In both directions. Pressure also la
being brought upon the group which
has declared for the supreme court
change proposal. Members of that
group as well as some senators who
have refused to commit themselves
are beginning to make It clearly un-
derstood they expert genuine reward
in return for their aupport. And
some of those who aren't promised
what they want ere likely to be with
the opposition or conveniently ab-
sent when the final vote comes.
At least two senators are staying
out of town because of “illness "
which is commonly attributed here
to a sad sensitivity to painful pres-
sure in the current backstage battle
One prominent senator who ha*
declared vehemently agelnst tha
plan ha* privately conceded i «i’-
lingnesa to permit the president to
appoint three new supreme court
justice*—but not alx He feels cer-
tain that If there were alx appoint-
ments. one of the men he hate* most
in public life would be aure to get
one of them. ^
