the commission was under no obligation
to reopen its hearings It the demand
..of q corporation which has just come
into existence" The radio press group
had ioined in the discussions as late
conner, and after it had practically been
agreed that the channels should be re-
served for the printed press. Promised
a special hearing on its case by the
commission, its officials and It's counsei
objected on the ground that they were
entitled to apply for all the waves In
question along with the press INTERESTS.
THE press associations and newSpa-
pers. banded together as the American
Publishers Committee, propose to use
the wave lengths to handle some OF
their own word traffic across the coun-
try and across the seas. The commit
tees trustee, Joseph Pierson Of Chicago,
was in Washington this week to advise
the commission that the several rival
news organizations represented in the
committee had reached an agreement
among themselves with regard to the
division Of channels.
Public Utility Principle.
Serious dissension among the press
applicants was aired at the commission
hearing, the Associated Press in par
ticular protesting against the COM
missions requirement that stations es-
tablished under the wave grants should
be opened to the service of all the press
on public utility basis. This principle
Is being insisted upon by Judge Ira E.
Robinson, chairman of the commission,
while Commissioner e. o. Sykes has
been inclined to the belief that the
press should form one large corporation,
utilizing all the press waves and operat-
ing as a public utility.
It Is practically certain that the pub
lie utility principle will have to be &C
cepted by the press, even II wave allot-
ments are made to the separate units.

Tons of Metal

TINE chief point to be made
Il against the recent conflict is
not that so many millions died, but
that an even greater number came
through unscratched.
So many tons Of metal were
hurled about to bring down sin
gle individual that war can readily
be stigmatized as the least efficient
of human activities.
Old-fashioned war may have been
emotionally satisfactory. If Greek
didn't like a Persian they could meet
in a marathon and exchange spear
thrustS.
But there is no reasonable or de-
cent drainage Of rage present in
the process of firing shell at some
foeman twenty miles away.
Much of the shooting which went
on in France could be attributed to
pure nervousness. Blunden and the
others round about the crater who
tossed bombs into an enemy hole
might well be compared to little
boys jumping up and down and
screeching.
Firing rife into deserted dark
ness is about as dignifed and as
effective as sticking your tongue out.
I think the paciflst after present.
ing all the facts of war may very
property inquire, Who's looney

HEALTH sUPERsTITIoNs-No. 4
Ancie11ts Had Rough Headache Cure

jured forth the demon by the use
Of magic.
The technic of the thumb ap-
piled to the roof of the mouth
serves. of course, to get the mind
off the headache and on the pain
in the roof of the mouth. Some
times temporary diversion of the
attention from the headache to
some other point will have this re-
suit.
Headache is not a disease in itself
it is a symptom of disease and
there are innumerable causes. The
pain in the head is not always the
same. It is customary to relate this
to constant cause, whereas actually
the same person may have differ
emit headaches at different times
due to different causes.
No doubt, the amount of circula-
ton of blood in the brain and of
fluid in the spinal cord and in the
brain have something to do with
headache.
Poisons of various kinds are as
ISOLATED with headaches, as are also
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1929-03-26

the beginnings of most infectious
diseases. Some headaches come
from exhaustion, such as that Of
eyestrain, worry and agitation, or
disturbance of the emotions.
Long exposure of the head to the
sun may cause headache, and con-
tinuous noise and confusion may
produce it.
Thus headaches that are due to
psychological conflicts, to emotions
or to agitation may be relieved oc-
casionally by distraction of the at
tention to other things. In such
cases, pinching the toe, the wear
ing Of some foolish mechanical de-
vice, or pressing the thumb on the
roof of the mouth may seem to re-
lieve the headache.
In cases in which there is an
actual physical cause, such as
disease of the kidneys, of digestion,
or an infectious disease, the treat
ment of the causes is far more i'm
portant than the treatment of the
headache.

Problems of Peace

who finished the task assigned him
in triumph. Peace left him no
problem but graceful retirement.
Others faced a Sterner situation.

was. drafted to help stabilize the
newly formed German republic, and
is still hard at work, though more
than 80.
In Italy, Mussolini, who hardly
was known a decade ago. has
claimed the center of the stage, with
a regime of political reconstruc-
ton which staggers the mind not
only with its radicalism, but its
boldness.
Lloyd George, who stood forth
as one Of the four foremost men in
the allied world when the war end
ed, but who has been in comparative
oblivion for the last eight years, is
re-emerging as an unexpected force
in British politics.
The Russian experiment moves
mystically forward, with a Stain,
where a Lenin used to be, a Trotski
in exile and growing indifference
on the part of outsiders as to its ul-
innate outcome.
Ten years of peace have wrought
even profounder changes than four
years Of war. What is more signifi-
cant, perhaps, these changes are not
complete.

IT SEEMS TO ME By H RFo1I%

MOST of the books written about
4VA the war while it still ragged
were of a trivial character. Those
were the days of Dawson and the
whole pep up and carry on school.
While the drums beat we heard
nothing except that the war was d
grand and glorious lark or noble
crusade. Seemingly every one dined
with prayer or a jape upon his
lips.
Recently the literature of the con-
flict has taken on Worthier proper
tions. The poets, the novelists and
the playwrights have had their say.
Some little time was needed for
humanity to get its second wind. 1t
was not easy to write until the
wounds began to heal, because blood
got into the eyes of those who
wanted to set words down on paper.
OF hand I think of Laurence
Stallings and Leonard Mason as the
two who have made the distressed
years most vivid as far as I'm con-
cerned. And there might also be a
word for Thomason.
But now, at what I started to call
q late date, there comes an extraor-
binary book by an English poet.
"Undertones of Wars" by Edmund
Blur1den, is book which I would
call to your attention.
Only eleven years have gone by
and second thought must prompt the
realization that the whole story has
not been told even yet. This was
not war easily to be forgotten.
Very probably no enduring book has
been written around the great mad
ness.

The role which weather has played in times O.

Yet it is only within comparatively recent time

The word cyclone, which figures so largely in all
discussions of the weather today was not used until
1648 1t was first used by Piddington who published
his Sailors Hornbook" at Calcutta in that year.
The word comes from the Greek and signifies the
coils of snake Piddirr0n used it because his study
OF storms IN the Indian and the Bay of Bengal
had led him to the conclusion that there circu
lar motion of the wind in the storm.
There had been some observations previously on
the fact that the motion of the wind did not always
agree with the direction in which the storm was
moving.
Benjamin Franklin made this observation and
comments on it in letter to Jared Eliot in 1747
But it was not until a century later that the
rotary nature Of the cyclone was established.

FLORmA'S DISCOVERY
March 2R


MARCH Is, 1913, is the date on
N1 which Ponce de Leon first set
foot on Florida and claimed the
peninsula for Spain.
This Spanish cavalier. who was
governor of Porto Rico, has been
immortalized in history as the man
who tried to find the pot Of goid
at the end of the rainbow"
During his governorship. vagu6
traditions Of West Indian natives
told Of a magic fountain in a coun~
try to the north, whose waters I-s~
stored the bloom Of youth to the
aged. Fired by these stories, the
cavalier decided to discover it.
He resigned his secure position
and set sail with three caravels on
March 3, 1912. Florida was sighted
on Palm Sunday, which in Spanish
is called "Pasqua Florida" and
hence the name, which is now more
than four centuries old.
Failing in his efforts TO find the
Fountain of Youth" in whose ex-
istence he had implicit faith, Ponce
de Leon left Florida and retraced
his steps, believing that he might
find the fountain on an island.
He failed, of course, but the re-
turn voyage resulted in the discov-
cry of the Bahamas and several
other islanda
