New Way To Relieve Asthma Is Described Medical Group Told Upside Down Position In Coughing Stops Strangling Paroxysms Of Malady St. Louis—A new medical treat ment for bronchial asthma, which •tops the strangling paroxysms of •his common malady, by an upside down position in coughing, was re ported to the American Association for the Advancement of Science here. The coughing is preceded by remedies to loosen the lung and bronchial passages. The treatment was described by Noel F. Sham baugh, M. D., assistant clinical pro fessor of medicine, University of Southern California. The position which roughly imi tates a monkey hanging by its tail was suggested by laboratory studies of the nature of this disease. It was found that an internal sweep ing out, like dusting a room, was likely to relieve most of the trouble, j The internal "dust” is made up! of products of chronic inflamma-j tion involving lungs, air passages and lymph glands. "Products of this infectious pro cess,” Dr. Shambaugh said, "are the causative factors in provocation of the asthmatic attack. When these products are not permitted to accumulate in the lungs and the air passages thereto, the asthmatic attack never occurs.” Coughing upside down furnishes the "broom” effect on these inter nal dusts. Before the coughing begins, Dr. Shambaugh said, the internal par ticles are loosened up by taking either terpent hydrate, iodides, guiacol, ammonium chloride or! compound tincture of benzoin by! steam inhalation. These may be taken singly, or in combination. "Then the patient kneels on a chair or stool and places both hands on the floor—or leans out of bed, bringing the thorax to as near an! inverted vertical position as is pos-J sible. in this position he coughs as nearly continuously as possible and the in^M^^rv products are dis placed ranexpectorated. The po sition is maintained for a minimum of three minutes. "This is done at least twice daily, preferably on arising and on retir ing.” If this does not stop attacks dur ing the day, the upside down coughing is done more frequently/ A new chemical from Japan two thousand times sweeter than cane sugar was described by Dr. Albert F. Blakeslee of the Carnevie Insti tution of Washington. It is the sweetest thing in thej world, eight times motfe sugary! j Getting a Job and Getting Ahead By Floyd B Foster, Vocational Counselor, International Correspondence Schools Ideas Are Life Blood af Business t'MPLOYERS want real men— W-J men with sound ideas who have «nougb confidence in their worth to •resent them, and who are able to defend them if the occasion arises. Neither the “smart guy" nor the ’shrinking violet" can look for {'ard to much in the present-day usiness world. Bluff has proved so costly that employers have been forced to learn to detect it no matter how •%el! it is camouflaged. The shy and Shrinking employee may have an Kea worth a fortune to his em {loyer, but it is absolutely valueless F he keeps it so well hidden that to one ever knows about it. Ideas are the life blood" of busi ness and if you can provide them {our future is assured. They must, owever, not only be born in your twn mind. They must be carefully worked out, firmly grounded in <jvery detail, and presented so Nearly and convincingly that their »alue will be apparent. It is in this last respect that •sany men fall down. An idea good i® itself may. die still-born because *ts presentation leaves an impres won of flashiness and insincerity. Similarly the too-moaest man may rum the chances for a good idea by Jailing to bring out its true value. »y deprecating it even while he Presents it to his employer The solution is by self-analysis * acquire that thorough knowledge *f your strong and weak points which in itself gives confidence without over-confidence, and to induct yourself as a man who teows his real worth without «ther over-estimating or under wtimating it. than the previous record holder, saccharine. The new stuff is a rare chemical named only alpha-anti pirilla-aloxime. Dr. Blakeslee said he was informed it was made from vegetable substances. He measured its super-sweetness while making studies of human heredity of taste. A method of sinking fine wires deep inside the human brain dis closed the first positively identi fied "brain center,” a spot which works the jaws. This method of tapping the brain with fine electric wires to learn action is new science. It was de veloped by Dr. Edmund Jacobson, of the University of Chicago. He tried it on a man part of whose skull was missing due to an operation on the bone. Fine wires were able to penetrate almost three inches deep without causing pain or harm. Several explorations were tried. Only one brought results. The fine wire, at a distance of nearly twp inches down in the brain, on the left side, not far from the top of the skull, touched a spot that sent out strong electric signals every time the man closed his jaws tight ly The increase in electric potential was five to six times as great as the normal pulsating electric cur rents which flowed from the brain uniformly at whatever place or depth the wire touched. Dr. Jacobson said that numerous experiments showed quite distinct ly that this spot on the left side controlled movements of jaws and nothing else.He said further that this control was probably in the cortex, or higher brain area. Rudyard Kipling I | I _ Burwash, Sussex, Eng.,—Rud lyard Kipling, now a man of fire and brimstone only when he fires' to speak his mind before the Bur wash parish council, is 70 yeais old His birthday will find him with in the moat, the walls, the eight foot hedge of his weatherworn old world home on the Sussex downs. \ There he has sought peace from the world for more than 25 years, for saking even the telephone. Stern and beetle-browed, the lit tle creator of “Gunga Din”, "Kim,”; the roaring Sergeant Mulvaney of "Soldiers Three” and "Capttains Courageous,” shuns, hermit-like, the life of his own legendary man of action. About the on^y time the public sees him is in the parish council. But there the “Sage of Burwash” barks out with almost forgotten fire to defend the old toryism, the1 much-maligned land tithes and the other hereditary feudal rights of the downs country. Horny-handed Sussex farmers shift uneasily as he speaks. They know him well, but not as a writer. Villagers’ descriptions belie the recurring stores ,that Kipling is fail ing in health. They say his step is brisk and his eye bright. Admits Murder Of Fifteen Boys Lahore, India—The Lahore High Court has dismissed an insanity plea entered by a man who confessed murdering 15 shepherd boys during the last nine years.

But it does not kill domestic animals or poultry. George B. Lay, rodent control leader of the U. S. biological survey with headquarters at State College, said Red Squill is the most nearly fool-proof rat poison known 'to man. j it usually drives the rodents un derground to die, thereby prevent-: ing unpleasant odors.lt acts slow-J ly, Lay added, and does not scare! off late coming rats with the bodies: of dead or dying rats near the bait.J The best time to put out Red Squill bait, Lay said, is during the winter when rats and mice leave! the fields and gather in houses, out- i buildings, and barns. Flue-cured Red Squill powder isj better than the sun-cured type, he' pointed out. He recommended that i the poison be mixed with three dif ferent ingredients to provide a va riety of bait. A pound of poison to 15 pounds of hamburger meat makes a good bait, he said.Or a pound of the powder may be mixed with 15 pounds of cheap canned salmon or mackeral and a pound of oat meal. Or mix the poison with 16 pounds of corn meal and enough water to make it crumbly. Usually, he said, it helps to put out some non-poisoned bait for a few days to get the rodents used to eating it. Then when the poison ed bait is distributed, they will eat it liberally. Place the bait where other ani mals cannot get at it, and where the rats or mice are likely to run. Although Red Squill will not kill animals, it may cause them to vom it, Lay stated, and then there is no need to waste the bait by allowing the other animals to eat it.

BILIOUSNESS Seek Million Americans To Fight Reds Loyalty League Maps Out Drive On Radical Paci fist Groups Baltimore.—Plans for a nation wide campaign to enroll a million Americans in active opposition to Communism, Socialism and radical pacifism were announced here at a meeting of the executive committee of the American Loyalty League, held in the Emerson Hotel. In announcing the drive, the Rev. Raymond W. Cooke, chair man of the committee and Mary land state chaplin of the Amer ican Legion, widely known oppo nent of clerical pacifism, said: "There are many citizens in the United States who have derived protection and many benefits from our government but who have as serted they are unwilling to defend America against her enemies. "These visionaries profess to be lieve war can be stopped by re fusing to support the military forces of the nation in peace time and by going to prison rather than fight to defend their property, their aged dependents and their children in time of war. “The American Loyalty League appeals to true Americans of what ever race, national background, political or religious faith, to unite in renewed consecration to the prin ciples of Amercianism as set forth in our Constitution and in opposi tion to the malicious, subversive propaganda of those groups and individuals who seek to destroy the liberties and privileges guaranteed by our tested form of government. '"It is the pla^ to organize chap ters throughout the nation, with the aim of turning the tide in churches, schools, and other youth groups away from the propaganda of the reds, pinks and yellows who, directly or indirectly, are working under the direction of the Third International.” CUBAN MAYORS OUSTED Havana—Mayors of three of Cuba’s municipalities were removed from office by decree of the cabi net, and army officers replaced them.

ANDREW JACKSON W/'HEN the rough-hewn, out spoken Andrew Jackson be came the seventh President of our country, he represented a new phase in American life. It marked the coming of age of American democracy. His six predecessors in the na tion’s highest office had come from homes of culture and com fort. Jackson’s life, on the con trary, had been one of poverty, hardships and self-education. Jackson’s rise to the supreme executive post also marked recognition for the frontier West. Although born in the Carolinas, in 1767, Jackson spent al! his adult life in Tennessee, which was then an outpost of the new West. Andrew's father had died shortly before the future Presi dent was born, and his mother died when he was fourteen. Thus orphaned, he proceeded to make his own Wiiy in life. I Deprived of the opportunity | for formal education, Jacksons i nevertheless prepared himself ; painstakingly for the law and | at tv. v-one he was public j prosecutor of the Western Dis trict of North Carolina, which i is now Tennessee. His fearless championship of the common folk and his natural talents as an orator and leader enabled him to rise politically. His role in the War of 1812, when he became the Hero of New Orleans, gave an addi tional impetus to his meteoric career. The whole West feted and honored him and Tennessee loaded him with the political preferment that ultimately made him President, in 1828. He remained at the post for two terms. President Jackson spent his last years at The Hermitage, the beautiful home he built in Nashville. The mausoleum in the sketch above is one that he erected himself for his wife. He joined her there after his death oil June 8, 1845. The impressive memorial stands in the garden of The Hermitage, which has been turned over by his heirs to the State of Tennessee as a national shrine. In the story of American d.-mocracy it represents a most significant milestone. (Copyrighted by Memorial Intension Commission.* ■-—---_.J Cheer Up, Mister !! This is Another Year !!
