MAKES AERO "REVERSE."
Inventor Says New Propeller Could
Make Plane Back Up in Air.

NEW YORK. March Lp).-An air
plane propeller which will give to a
plane: the equivalent OF the gear shift
of an automobile has passed rigorous
tests laid down by the Royal Canadian
Air Force, w. r. Turnbull of New
Brunswick, Canada. its inventor, said
here yesterday.
The invention, he said, has no "re-
verse;" but the full application Of the
principle on which 1t Is built would
make 1t possible to back up plane
while flying in the air. Engineers of
the Royal Canadian Air Force, he said.
advised him against working out this
feature on the grounds that there is no
need for flying a plane backward and
stunt flyers would be given an oppor-
tunity to get into unnecessary trouble.

Snuggle-Down Habit
By Elsie Robinson

When you begin to have q IA
vorite cilair--Iook outg
When you want your food
cooked just in q certain way and
are miserable il 1t isn'tbe care
ful!
When you begin to dislike
changes and resent new ideas
get wise to yourself!
You're in danger! You're being
trapped by comfort.
Comfort Is the deadliest trap for
the human spirit. It's nice to be
comfortable, It's delightful to have
ones favorite chair-one's favorite
food-one's favorite ideas. It's
most gratifying to have all the
rough spots removed from life
all the difficulties. adjustments
and bothersome inconveniences.
Yes. comfort is a pleasing thing
but comfort Is deadly.
Keep yourself uncomfortable!
Force yourself to take on new
responsibilities, new ideas, new
contacts.
Break up your sluggish routine
abandon your pesty little prefer
ences and prejudices.
Crash out of your snuggle-down
habits.
Yank yourself back into life!

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
Dr. Louis 3. Bisch

z t
HEADACHES are. i most com.
mon human afflictiun. The
young may suffer from them as
well az the middle-aged and the
old. Headaches may be only oc-
casional with months Of freedom
following an attack, or headaches
may occur almost every day.
Lastly, headaches vary in inten-
sity from slight discomfort, per-
haps only q feeling Of flillness in
the head, to gIlch severe pain and
pounding that they send It's VIC
tim prostrate to bed.
People have O. way of getting
used to headaches and letting them
go, as it were. Or they develop
the dangerous habit of taking
headache remedies, often increas.
ing the doses rather carelessly AZ
time goes on.
Headaches are not always easy
to cure, yet the persistent cases
in particular should be studied with
the hope Of finding out what
causes them.
Auto-intoxication Is one OF the
comnlonest causes for headaches.
We tend to be careless about what
we eat and how we rid the body
of waste products. The result is
accumulation of poisonous sub
stances In the system and these
give headache.
Eye strain frequently is respon-
sbile. Proper glasses may make
headaches disappear like magic.
Worry also causes headaches.
So may mental conflicts of all
kinds, such as doubts, fears, feel
ings of anxiety, etc. Love affairs
may bring on headaches-in fact,
all sorts of disturbances in the
emotional life.
The most puzzling type of head
ache, as well as often the most
completely devastating, is the
familiar sick headache. 1t Is also
known as migraine, megrims,
bilious headache or hemicrania.
Few persons go through life
without having had one or more
such migraine attacks. And there
are some who are tortured by
them for years.
Despite the fact that sick head

every attack nor every patient can
be treated alike, and that in trying
to find out what really is respon'
sible for the headaches often Is
like solving riddle, sufferers
from migraine should not become
discouraged after repeated at
tempts have failed.
The typical migraine attack is
more or less periodical and fre.
quently affects only half the head
hence the term "hemicrania -
although the entire head may be
involved. 1t may come slowly ana
gradually with a feeling Of heavl'
ness. After while the pain is
extremely intense and is often re.
ferred to as splitting headache:
