Health and Right Living
BY ROYAL s. COPELAND, nj. ID.
Former Commissioner OF Health,

Everybody hates to have pain. A
man will do almost anything to be
relieved OF 1t. He will try any pre-
scription offered. That Is why
pain killers" have such sale.
There is little choice in pains. 1t
seems to you the particular pain
you have, Is the worst that ever
happened to anybody. You just
cant stand it."
Perhaps 1 have told you the
story of the old lady who tele-
phoned a new doctor at two o'clock
in the morning. She wanted him
to come over at once. I can't
stand this pain another minutel"
How long have you had it?" ask
ed the sleepy doctor. Thirty years,
and I can't endure 1t any longer!"
Some patient persons do put up
with pain for a long time. They
appear to regard it as inevitable, or
have faith to believe 1t will wear
out after a while. But the time
comes when resistance is broken
and there is a demand for relief.
There are many cases Of drug
addiction that can be traced to
the desire for control Of pain. IN
fortunately, there are tens of thou
sands Of drug addicts who have no
such excuse for their condition.
We can pity the sufferer who be-
comes addicted, but not the social
addict who takes the drug for the
physical enjoyment he gets out Of
it. "Joy riding" and pain killing
are two differsnt things.
What should we do about pain?
There is always a cause for pain.
I need not tell you this. But many
times 1t is difficult to find that
cause. Yet it must be located, if
a real cure is to be effected.
Toothache and earache are SO
definitely located that, in most in
stances, the cause Of the pain Is
readily found. Headache, neural
gia, neuritis, rheumatic" pains, and
pain in the abdomen, are more OBJ
Scure as to cause.
1t is not natural" to have pain.
Persistent or periodical pain must
always be viewed with suspicion
1t must not be disregarded. Even
though 1t may come from some
thing Of no particular consequence
in itself, the efficiency and hap
piness Of the victim will be i'm
paired. You can't do your work
well If you are suffering. But
there may be a cause which has
other possibilities, worse than pain
1 plead with you to give early
attention to any annoying symp-
toms, the cause Of which Is a mys-
terry to you. For your peace OF
mind, as well as for the relief of
pain, find out what is wrong.
There are few troubles, very few
indeed. that cannot be treated sue
cessfully in the first stages. II
isn't fair to your doctor, to your
family and associates, and partic-
ularly to yourself, to neglect q
searching examination to locate the
cause Of your misery.

Star Lore
BLUE SKIES " RED
SUNSETS

BY Arthur D. Carpenter
Were there no dust or molecules
suspended in the upper atmos-
phere, the sky would appear blahA
When rays Of light come ~ f
the sun to the earth, the Ju
vibrations Of shorter wave II
strike the fine dust par
molecules and atoms Of t-kiI
gases, and are diffused Ugh
the upper air. Those are the vibra-
tons giving blue sky. When near
shutdown, solar light rays coming
toward the observer are obStruct-
ed by the increased quantities OF
intervening particles, 50 that only
the vibrations OF longest wave
length get by. These are the
orange and red wave lengths. Con-
sequently, the sunset sky appears
orange and red.

LINDBERCH TO
MARRY in JUNE
Col. to Fly Back to Mexico
In Few Weeks; Place
Not Announced i

MEXICO CITY, March 21.-tF-
Miss Anne Morrow IS to be a June
bride.
Miss Morrow and her fiance, Col.
Charles A. Lindbergh, themselves
have not authorized announcement
they will be married in that month.
They have not decided, however,
whether the wedding is to take place
in Mexico or in the United States.
The colonel is expected to fly
back to Mexico City within a few
weeks for another visit with Miss
Morrow, at which time something
definite as to their plans will be re-
vealed.
The announcement of the we'd
ding arrangements was made yes
terday by persons close to the be-
trothed pair in line with promises
nearly a month ago during the COL
onel's visit here that the plans Of
the young couple would be revealed
in due course and that there would
not be an elopement or secret we'd
ding.
There was speculation here a. to
whether the present internal con-
ditionS in Mexico could cause the
wedding to be held outside this
country. Mexican officials have re-
peatedly expressed their hope that
the two will lbe married in Mexico,
where the romance began.

By RAYMOND BROOKS

AUSTIN, March 2t.-It's the
"five-and-ten" law now.
But it doesn't lead to the bargain
counter, despite its name.
Under this, the new Jones law re-
Gently passed by congress, federal
prohibition law penalties have been
increased, SO that their maximum is
more severe than the state law.
The five-and-ten means the
prison sentence has been increased
to five years, and the fine to $4,000
under the federal law.
Effect of this new law III Texas
will be to cut down the number Of
cases filed in federal courts and to
increase the number filed in state
courts, in the opinion Of county Of
ficers.
State rangers now file many
prosecutions in federal courts.
Sheriffs and deputy sheriffs and
constables working out of justice
courts all are entitled to file in
either federal Or state courts.
The Travis county sheriff has fol-
lowed the uniform policy of filing
his charges IN the state courts, it
was said at his office.
The same reason that has led to
filing of many cases in federal
courts now is believed to indicate a
swing of liquor cases to the state
courts. That is, doubt Of officers as
to securing a conviction under the
heavy penalties. The one-and-tWo-
year prison sentences of state courts
now are milder than the Jones law
u. S. Commissioner William
Tranckmann has just received copy
of the new Jones law. Attention has
been called to its statement that the
severe penalties are intended for
the habitual violator, the profession
al bootlegger. and not for the
casual" violator Of the law.
Travis county peace officers be-
lieve the charges against manufac-
turers and sellers Of liquor, those
engaged in the deliberate and re-
peated violation of the law, will be
prosecuted under the Jones federal
law, but that the ordinary run of
small cases will be filed in state
courts, particularly under the act
recently passed. if it is approved,
that modifies the state penalties to
