The City Council met in regular
session at the city hall on Tuesday
night, presided over by Mayor W.
R. Mckee, and six members Of the
council in attendance.
Much routine business was trans
acted and a number Of building per-
mits were granted.
For the second time the Stand
ard Oil Company was refused per-
NIT to build filing station at East
Main and Wilson streets, the per-
NIT being withheld on account Of OBJ
jections of a number of the residents
in that section of the city. The lot
on which the station was proposed
to have been built is the old Voris
property, now owned by N. H. Trim
BILE, the Standard Oil Company hav-
ing an option on same. The compa-
ny is represented by Judge n. Clay
Mckee. Several other sites for the
filing station are now under con
sideration.

COUNTING THEIR CHICKENS

Candidates for the Legislature
who are reasonably certain of cleo
ton are beginning to pick out their
seats for the session. Practically all
of the holdover senators will keep
the same seats they occupied at the
last session and some of the mem
bers of the 1920 House who expect
to return for the 1922 session have
spoken for their old seats. Many of
the prospective members of the
House have selected their seats.
Miss Grace Garrett Hendrix, hbrar-
ian, has charge of the work of as
signing seats to the members of the
General Assembly.

Unexpected Reduction
in Automobile Tires

The Strother Motors Co.. Inc,
Ford dealers, on Bank street, today
received notice from the Firestone
Tire Company to reduce the selling
price of all Firestone tires 20 per
cent on cords and 10 per cent on
fabrics. In the face of 60 per cent
increase in the price of cotton this
was most unexpected and all auto
mobile owners are advised to inspect
their tires now and purchase their
requirements for some time to come.
Firestones are standard equipment
on many Of Americas finest cars,
and the Strother Motors Company
state that at the present prices they
give the best value they have ever
offered.

Farmers Aided
By New Ruling

Concerning the ruling recently
made by the Federal Reserve Board
to the effect that growers drafts ac-
cepted by cooperative marketing
associations should be classed, il
the proceeds are to be used for an
agricultural purpose, as agricultural
paper eligible for rediscount at fed
eral reserve banks, Secretary Of Ag-
riculture Henry G. Wallace said: at
is ruling of Importance and should
result in making bank credit more
available for farm USE"
In the case which resulted in the
ruling being made, members of. q to-
bacco growers cooperative market
ing association drew drafts upon
the association which was acting as
their agent only in the sale of their
tobacco The drafts we're accepted
by the association and the Federal
Reserve Board was then called upon
to decide whether the drafts should
be classed as agricultural paper eli
gible for rediscount at Federal Re-
serve Banks with maturity up TO
months or should be classed as
commercial paper eligible for redis-
count only when its maturity date is.
not in excess of 80 days. 81
The board ruled that where the
drafts complied in other respects to
the requirements of the law, and the
boards regulations, that the drafts
should be classed as agricultural pa
per and as such would be eligible
for rediscount by bank that was
member of the Federal Reserve
System with a federal reserve bank
for a period not in excess of six
months. If the cooperative associ-
alton had been the purchaser of the
tobacco instead of the agent Of the
members in the sale of the tobacco,
the ruling would have been otherwise,
and the drafts would have been
classed as commercial paper, and as
such would only have been eligible
for rediscount with maturity not in
excess of 80 days.
Department specialists in farm
finance believe that the method en-
ployed by the tobacco growers asso-
citation would be found Of value by
other cooperative associations, es-
pecially when used in connection
with receipts for agricultural pro-
duets issued by warehouses licensed
under the federal warehouse act.
There is growing tendency on the
part of bankers throughout the coun-
try to require federal warehouse re-
ceipts when making loans based on
agricultural products.

in the brain 1t Is believed that the brain
is affected differently in sea sickness and
in the other conditions. When one whirls
around rapidly with the eyes closed he
becomes dizzy in few moments because
the whirling sends the blood from the
brain, causing anemia of the brain.
SThe cerebellum. the small brain at the
back of the skull, controls the co-ordina-
tion Of muscles and the ability to main
tain equilibrium. The ability to stand
erect Is SO natural TO man that he never
gives thought to the subconscious ef-
forts he must make to maintain eQuilib-
rum. When he walks or runs he Is fire.

sive diarrhoea, a straining, retching and
vomiting like that produced by powerful
emetic, and a siekening nausea with an
"all gone," hope I die" feeling that is
indescrfbable.
There is no pain. Just sense Of utter
wretchedness which is aptly illustrated in
the case Of the young bride on her honey
moon who became sea sick. After drugs
failed to relieve her distress she asked
hubby to kiss her. A few moments later
another spell of nausea came on and she
turned to her spouse, detected, an hope
gone, and said "even that didn't do any
good"
Some persons get sickly feeling when
they are In a car going MP or down IN
fast travelling elevator, dancing or watch
ing persons or things moving around
them. The sensations thus produced are
entirely different from the sensations in
The Washington times., 1921-03-20

Some persons are much more suscepti-
BILE to changes in the circulation in the
brain than others, the whirling dervishes,
for example, whirling around for half an
hour or more without becoming dizzy,
while some of the onlookers become dizzy
In a few minutes from merely looking at
them. In the case of these onlookers the
circulation in their brains is readily af-
fected by mental impressions and the
slightest shock or scare would cause
cerebral anemia with consequent nausea
and vomiting. We say they have weak
stomachs but their stomachs have nothing
to do with the tendency to vohhit. They
have very susceptible cerebral vessels.
This susceptibility is. however, due to q
nervous condition and not to any defect in
the vessels themselves. Going back an
other step in our search for the funda-
mental cause of sea sickness we find that
certain nerves that control the calfbre> of
the blood vessels are easily irritated and
The Washington times., 1921-03-20

crease the propulsive power, cargo capac-
ity, stability, ETC., OF the vessel .-
The stability Of a ship, its ability, to re-
main level and not rock, roll or pitch In q
rough sea, is of the greatest importance
to the ship owners and to those who travel
in ships, and for accuracy Of gun fire on
war vessels. Everyone who has been on
an ocean liner in rough sea knows wha:
happens when a vessel digs its bow into
trough and raises its stern so that the
screw Is out of water For moment the
resistance Of the water Is lost and the
engines freed from this resistance to the
screw, race or work with greatly increased
velocity, shaking up the whole vessel The
next moment the screw Is again in the
water and the strain on the engines is
suddenly re-established.
Unless one has been hardened by expert
ence 1t is impossible to overcome the fear
that the ship, trembling from stem to-
stern at one moment while engines and
screws race, pitching, tossing. rolling and
rocking the next, must break apart and
80 down. To make matters worse, SO far
as the passenger is concerned. while the
ship is going through these violent gym
nastics, the passenger is, as rule. des-
perately seasick.
This, however, Is of minor Importance
to the ship owners, to the National Physi-
cal Laboratory and to those who are ex-
perimenting to overcome the rocking and
pitching Of vessels at sea. The United
States Navy Department, which is expert
menting with the Sperry gyroscope, is in
terested only in obtaining a level gun
platform. The British laboratory seeks to
overcome the rocking Of the boat as It
lessons the strain upon the engines and
the vessel enables the engines to main
tain speed, increases cargo space and pre-.
vents shifting OF cargo Incidentally, IL
the boat does not rock II will make level
gun platform But the thousands Of pass
engers who must use the vessels are less
Interested In gun platform and cargo
storage than In their own comfort, and to
them the broad beam, bilge keels, gyro-
scope stahilixer and other means to %
cure an even keel means only no sea sick

which gives off a lubri-
eating fluid which
keeps the lining moist.
In some persons much
more of this fluid Is
given off and the ex-
cess collects IN the
cavities.
The roekingl and
pitching Of the vessel
shakes up this fluid In
persons in whom It is
in excess. and this
spiashing inside OF the
brain causes the sink
ing feeling that pre-
cedes the nausea Of sea
sickness. The persons
who have this fluid
in excess will get a
quaimy, sickly feeling
every time the boat
shakes or rocks, and
they will have 1t every
time they go in a roll
ler-coaster, razxle-das-
zle, witching waves or
any other similar
amusement. But these
amusements last only
a few minutes and end
before the cerebral
anemia has been sufi-
3 ciently advanced to
cause nausea and
vomiting. When the

At the same time the cerebruna, tho

down express elevators In tall buildings
You will see some who turn pale when the
car is going up and flushed when the car

movement upward causes anemia and
rapid moving downward causes conges-
ton Of the brain. Anenaia can also be
produced by mental impression as shock
fright or anger.
Anemia Cack of blood Of the brain pro-
duces light-headedness and congestion
produces feeling Of fulness In the head.
Anemia and congestion Of the brain. rol-
lowing each other at rapid but irregular
intervals, play an important part IN the
production of sea sickness. but there is
another brain factor much more influential
than these.
There are I'm the brain cavities, called
yentricles, some Of which contain huid.
The largest of these cavities are two lat
eral ventricles lying very nearly In the
middle of the brain, and separated from
each other by thin membrane called the
septum lucdum. These cavities are lined
