Vote for the Convention

One matter of great importance before
the voters Of the state on Nov. 4, matter OF
which no elector should lose sight, is the vote
on the calling Of a constitutional convention,
to revise Indiana's basic law.
The voters of Indiana should return ma
Jority for this measure. They should realize
that in this way, and in this way only, can
the states tax laws so be revised that they
will be fair to all citizens-the city worker
the farmer and the small property holder, as
well as giant combinations of capital which
now are opposing the convention.
This proposal is of vital importance to
every elector. 1t is of far more importance
than many other issues which now loom
large on the election horizon.
A vote for the constitutional convention
is a vote for the benefit of all the people. The
utilities and other great corporations will OPP
pose it, but only for selfish reasons. So let
Mr.. Common Voter be on the alert and not
overlook his duty on Nov. 4.

Whisky as Medicine

Doctors of the country, led by DR. Gerry Morgan Of
Washington, president of the American Medical As
ISOLATION will attempt to persuade congress to lber
alize restrictions the of alcohol for medicinal
purposes
A referendum among 3OS43 physicians, Morgan
says, showed that 81 per cent of them regard whisky
as absolutely necessary as therapeutic agent, al
though he himself does not But he regards limitations
prescribing whisky huiliating, and believes it is
wrong to deprive physician of the medicament in
the of which he has built up his clinical expert
ence Doctors at present allowed to prescribe 100
pints every three months.
The movement is certain to revive the long dis
pute over the value of alcohol in medicine Prohibi-
ton advocates always have said it had virtue and
have marshaled considerable support from science
But there has been an equally convincing array OF
opinion on the other side OF the question.
So far as the American Medical Association is con-
cerned, most doctors seem to want whisky, and want
to prescribe they see fit. It would that they
the best judges at least better than dry reformers
and dry congressman.

Sectional Not Partisan

WE have become sectional,
w rather than partisan, in our
politics
Prohibition finds eastern Repub-
licans and Democrats in accord,
though each party is obliged to take
issue with its followers in the south
and west.
In the same way, Republicans and
Democrats from farming sections
are ready to support a tariff on ag-
ricultural products, no matter how
they pretend to disagree when it
comes to a tariff on manufactured
products.
Senator Borah, Republican from
Idaho, is nearer in accord with
Senator Walsh, Democrat, from
Montana, than he is with a major
ity Of his Republican brethren from
the east.
If Senator Walsh of Montana and
Senator Walsh of Massachusetts
did not insist on calling themselves
Democrats, one never would suspect
that they belonged to the same
party.
Then there are the Huey P. Longs,
the alfalfa" Bill Murrays, and the
Bilboes. What have they in common
with the Franklin D. Roosevelts and
Cordells, Hulls, or, for that matter,
what have the Hulls and Foosevelts
in common, more than a party
name?

A DRY administration looks to a

years. hence.

Republican creed, what about wet

publican candidate for Governor in
New York, or wet Mr.. Morrow, who
is running as Republican candidate
for the senate in New Jersey2
If dry President Hoover really
wants futile and Morrow to win,
won't the Anti-Saloon League have
to revise some of it's opinions?
Nor does prohibition show up all
the wai1s, shakes and loose knots.
If dry President Hoover might be
able to string along with dry Mr..
Pinclnot, running for Governor in
Pennsylvania, so far as prohibition
is concerned, could he conscientious
ly do so with regard to some other
things?
If dry President Hoover and dry
Senator Norris see eye to eye when
they look at the eighteenth amend
n1ent, how about power and farm
relief?

Backache Due to Several Causes

After these compressions or cur
Natures take place, the person is
likely to suffer with pain in the
back so severe as to be incapaci-
tating.
The only relief for such pain is in
the use of adhesive strapping or the
wearing of a brace which helps to
take some of the strain off the bones
that have been twisted into new po-
sitionS.

which a young man II years Of age
was forced to give up athletics be-
cause of a pain in the lower part
of the back on any attempt at row.

IT SEEMS TO ME BY HE EzS73S

MY sympathy goes out to Sidney
I'VE Franklin. In case you have
forgotten, Franklin is the Brooklyn
boy who went to Spain and i'll some
casual way or other became a bull
fighter
And from all accounts, Mr.. Frank
lin was topnotch bullfghter. He
fought fifty bulls and won his first
forty-nine bouts without 9, scratch.
The f1ftieth bull ricked him a little.
But Sidney Franklin has recovered
and is back in Brooklyn for rest and
recreation.
He is staying with his father and
his mother and his six brothers and
sisters. Naturally, they want him
to have a good time. My sympathy
goes out to the Franklin family as
we'll as to Sidney. It's going to be
so hard to amuse him. Just what
has Brooklyn to offer g, bullf1ghter?
Suppose you we're one Of Sidneys
relatives, what would you suggest?
I will endsavor to enter into the
fantasy myself The family is gath
cred around the breakfast table
Even that presents a problem.

suitable far a. natador.
The only appropriate dish would
be roast beef somewhat underdone.
The discussion involves the schedule

VOWS Of lifelong fdelty and win be sanctioned by the

VOWS of lifelong fidelity and will be sanctioned by the
church.
Men and women may take their choice. Those
who favor the advanced conceptions car demand the
secular contract Those who believe that marriages
are arranged by God and that little children come
troopng down from heaven can step up to the altar
and demand to be bound for life.
The chief objection to the deans plan, as seen by
his English critics, is that though couple may
take VOWS of eternal fidelity marital Embellishments
which demand divorce may arise here and the same
old problems will crop up. The storms and stresses
of a lifetime scarcely be comprehended or an
ticipated during the golden period of courtship.
AS a first step toward emancipation of matrimony
from the bonds Of superstition, the deans program
is, nevertheless a good one. If adopted, we may
predict that the secular plan rapidly would gain
in popularity.
And we also may be sure that the churchmen
will be quick to see this and to oppose any such scheme
with characteristic fervor They will remain sat
isfed to have their own way for themselves. Others
likewise must conform.

Church and State in MatrimOny

The alleged domination OF state by church has
come in for some heavy trouncings lately Most OF
the attack has centeed on the alleged ecclesiastical
basis Of prohibition "wowsering" censorship and the
like
Doubtless these need walloping. but actually the
most decisive example OF the intrusion OF the church
into modern legislation is to be found in the laws
and institutions relating to marriage and divorce.
These are founded almost exclusively upon the pub
lie acceptance of the ecclesiastical view OF sex and
marriage relations. The only real approach to a
secular administration of sex and marriage on large
scale in history was found in the Roman empire
since the triumph of Christianity however. the re-
eios point of view has been conceded and vigorously
enforced by the state.
Our present savage divorce l-ws have no logical
defense save the supernatural assumptions underly-
ing them The Catholic church declared that mar
rage is sacrament The ProtestantS formally denied
this but in practice they accepted it. What else for
example could explain the state of affairs in South
Carolina. where there is no legal ground for divorce
IN this fiercely anti-Cathonc commonwealth?
There is no hope of a sane handling Of this i'm
portant area of human endeavor until the whole
ssue is entirely secularized and divorced from re-
eion. It ultimately must be viewed and regulated
by the state solely from the standpoint OF human
happiness here and now.
one of the most sensible suggestions in a long
time lust has come from Dean Inge. He proposes two
kinds Of marriages For the modernist there shall be

They Would Stare

1T was a tedious task to educats
L the public to the new arc light,
Brush said on one occasion.
The principal difficulty arose
from the propensity of everybody to
stare directly at the arc, and then
declare that everything else looked
dark" he said.
1t took years fully to outgrow
this habit. I often had to ask, Why
don't you stare at the sun if you
wish to be dazzled? It is vastly
brighter than the electric light.
Furthermore, most early pura
chasers OF electric lights thought
each lamp giving as much light as
fifty gas burners would replace
fifty gas lights, Notwithstanding the
great advantage of distribution. pos-
sessed by the latter. Altogether too
much was expected.
However, a number of two and
tollr-hght units were sold during
the season of 1878 for lighting
stores and shops. The largest plant
OF this kind, about twenty lights.
was bought by John Wanamaker
for his great department store in
Philadelphia.
"A four-light dynamo and lamps
were used to light a part Of the Me-
chanics' fair in Boston in the
autumn OF that year The electric
light was novelty in Boston at
That time, and great attraction at
the fair"

With the excitement of those times eleven years in

JOHN DEWEYs BIRTH
Oct. 20

ON oct, 20, 1859, John Dewey,
~ Americas foremost philosopher
and educator, was born on a farm
at Burlington, vt.
He was graduated from the Uni
versity Of Vermont at 20 and took
his doctor of philosophy degree
from Johns Hopkins five years later.
He subsequently taught philosophy
at the universities Of Minnesota,
Michigan and Chicago.
AS director of education at the
latter institution, Dewey directed
the first experimental school, many
models of which now are familiar
throughout the country.
Dewey came to Columbia univer-
sity in 1904, where, with occasional
extended absences for travel to Rus
STA, China and Mexico, to observe
experiments in life and society, he
taught until June Of this year.
Dewey hes devoted much study TO
educational theory with the view
of relating teaching more closely to
the environment Of pupils.
One writer has summed him up
as follows: Dewey is the prophet
of intelligence and freedom in a
world OF science and machines. He
already has affected seriously poll
tics and education. He is begin
ming to affect religion and poetry
as well.
9And though he has disciples by
the thousands IN China, Russia,
Mexico and western Europe. his
philosophy is as American as it is

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE

becomes apparent only when stress
associated with manual labor in
adolescence is applied to the defec-
tive area.
1t also must be recognized that
as men or women become older,
there is a tendency to put on more
weight and that this brings about
additional pressure on parts of the
bony skeleton not capable Of taking
care Of the added strain.
When a woman goes through
childbirth, there are additional
strains on various portions of her
anatomy. Thus after childbirth it
may. become necessary to supply
especially made corsets or braces
to take care Of the unusual loose
ness or the abnormal anatomical
conditions.
Sometimes one leg may be slight
~ Shorter than another or may be
crippled through an accident so as
to cause contraction which gives
the effect of shortness.
When the person walks for a long
period of time with this condition,
the bones of the spine gradually
curve to accommodate the change in
strain. @
