Don't Use Appetizers for Dyspepsia

Fried and greasy foods are envel-
oped in a layer of fat through which
the digestive juices penetrate with
great difficulty.
The inside of hot breads or par
TALLY baked cakes or pastries are
digested with trouble. Very hot
foods cause congestion; very cold
foods, slow digestion; alcohol and
hot spices are as IRRITATING to the
lining of the stomach as they are to
the mucous membranes of the nose
and throat, and person who is
physically very tired, has internal
muscles that are just as tired as
the external ones.
The idea that eating when one is
tired is a good method for overcom-
ing fatigue is very bad logic and
quite unscientific.
Plenty of exercise, fresh air, di-
version and sufficient sleep are mar
velous aids to digestion and GER
tainIy help out appetites. Appetite
is quite necessary to good diges-
ton.
Appetite is the symptom which
lets the interested person know that
his digestive mechanism is all set to
go and wants something to go on.

FROM any angle, the Presidents recess appointment
of Nicholas Roosevelt of New York as Vice-Governor
of the Philippines is costly blunder. Hoover is
alternating the senate and the Filipinos and making
friendly American Philippine relations more difficult
The President has allowed himself to be jockeyed
into the position of ignoring the senate, which must
confirm this appointment, and of defying the ex-
pressed wishes of the people who are to be governed
by Roosevelt.
The question is not whether the President has
legal right to do this He has The question is
whether the Presidents actor will any good in
terest either his own or his counrys interest that
of the Philippines. It will not.
Roosevelt is sincere and able man. But he also
happens to be an enemy of Philippine aspirations and
a very extreme critic of the Fipinos people That
is clear from his book on the subject
Naturally the FilipinoS object to having such
person over them as Vice-Governor. They have re-
sorted to very definite OF showing their dsap
proval. In pubic ceremonies, they have dumped his
books into the sea. Their Official representatives in
Washington have objected to the nomination. The
Philippine legislature has passeo resolutions of protest
In view of this situation te United States senate,
on receipt of the nomination just it adjourn
ing had no choice other than postpone action until
next session. The senate did not want to humiliate
the President by rejecting the nomination, de-
manded by the Filpinos.
Nor could the senate ignoce the protests and con-
firm the nomination overnight without investigation.
Thus by postponement the senate gave the President
opportunity to withdraw the nomination and him.
self from the delicate situation which has developed.
That the President now mas gone ahead and by a
recess appointment forced Roosevelt upon the senate
and upon the Filipinos is exceedingly unfortunate.
1t only can add to the Fpnos distrust of Americas
intentions at time When mutual faith and cooper
alton essential to any satisfactory settlement of the
acute Philippine question.
Under such circumstances, Roosevelt even though
he we're the worlds greatest administrator, will be a
heavy liability as Vice-Gove1nor of the Philippines

IF the person tending toward dys-
Il pepsia realizes his condition soon
enough and adopts proper habits of
regulation, recovery promptly en-
sues. Unfortunately, he attempts
far too often to cure his condition
by taking out bottle that he has
selected for himself.
When his appetite begins to fail
he tries to stimulate it with appe-
Tiers or cocktails taken before
meals. This is simply an added
burden to a weakened system. All
the kick that he gets is mental and

If he reads faddist magazines he
will try copious draughts of orange

He may try starvation, which will
relieve him temporarily of the di-

him, perhaps produce acidosis, and
certainly not cure him since he is
likley to go back to the same bad

ENERALLY speaking, all kinds
NJ of endurance contests seem to
me both cruel and silly. AS far as
I'm concerned, every tree-sitter can
remain aloft indefinitely without
arousing either interest or enthusi-
asm in me. But the channel has
a certain dignity as a perpetual and
abiding challenge to nlankind's

It has dared the hopes of en-
perors and washed whole chapters
out of history. Bleriot's airplane
flight from France to England was,
in its way, as thrilling an episode
in aviation as Colonel Lindbergh's
hop to Paris.

Becoming a Symbol

1T is fairly possible that the young
Il woman herself never gave much
thought to the fact that she took
on a symbolic significance when she
plunged into the water.
There may have been no notion in
her head that when she reached the
other side the status of all women
in the world would be raised by
several notches.
Possibly it may seem a little
presumptuous to say that the mo-
tives and even the personality of
Gertrude Ederle are not particularly
important. After all, it was she who
did the kicking and reaching.
But mean that the thing which
matters is the fact that woman
swan the English channel. Just
which woman is somewhat less mo-
mentouS.
In saying that the feat was for
gotten, refer only to the fact that
it no longer is uppermost in the
public mind. The fact itself can not
be forgotten. 1t is stored away for
future reference.
1t plays its part in situations
which arise concerning problems of

Should Edison Be ClGSsed as
a Genius or, as q Reason
ably Talented Man?

THOMAS A. EDISON, looking
Il down from the height of his
years in pre-eminence, says that the
machine age is doing more good
than harm, that modern youth is
all right, and that success consists OF
90 per cent hard work and 10 per
cent talent.
DR.. Hubert S. Howe. famous
psychiatrist. who has examined the
forty nine boys competing for the
Edison scholarship, says that while
they are far above the average, l
doubt if any of them is a genius. i"
Genius comes too close to in
sanity in many cases" says DR..
Howe, land what Mr.. Edison wants
i not a genius, but a well-rounded,
well-balanced young American"

The State and Wages

The SNUG explanation of the highway
commission that it signed contracts Tor the
construction of roads and has no control or
authority over the wages paid to workers
should not be accepted by the people of this
state, paying out millions of dollars, as either
satisfactory or even explanatory.
The hideous fact is that the men who are
actually building these roads, the men who
perform the hard work, are being paid the
wage of poems.
That some of these contractors are pay
ing 20 cents an hour or less is not denied.
That no man, and most of these men are
the heads of families, can live on such wage
is easily demonstrated.
If the cement trust should deliver poor
material the commission would have the
power to reject it.
II the crushed stone or the sand and
Gravel vendors should turn over materials
not up to specifications, the highway commits
sion would, or could, refuse to take 1t.
But when it comes to human beings, flesh
and blood, the commission loses interest and
permits the contractors to use underpald
and underfed men to perform the work.
1t is very definitely written into the ma
tional laws that labor is not commodity to
he bought and sold on basis of competition.
In Indiana, as far as the state is concerned,
labor seems to be the only commodity IN
which the rules of supply and demand form
the basis of hard bargaining.
Cement is sold by trust The crushed
stone men and the gravel men have their
association to eliminate cut-throating each
other. The worker, with hungry family
on the one side and slave wage on the
other, is that CHASTITY free agent who cal.
be bought and sold without intervention by
the highway commission.
When President Hoover called the Gov
errors of the state together Indiana sent its
chief executive to discuss the unemployment
situation 1t was an emergency, or at least
the expense of that trip was paid from the
emergency fund. The decision of the Gov
errors, in response TO a presidential appeal,
was to rush public work in order to give jobs
to the jobless.
At that meeting, and the later one of the
industrialists called by the President, it was
resolved to keep up wages as means of
bringing back prosperity.
1t would be bad enough for private in
dustry to renegge on that policy. For the
state of Indiana to foster such practices
amounts to crime.
Not only is the situation an outrage
against the workers who are underpaid, but
It is an assault on every other business of
the state and a menace to prosperity itself.
A simple notice by the highway commits
sion that any contractor who is practicing
this form of peonage would be forever barred
from state contracts as an undesirable would
end the outrage over night.
But, of course, the commission has moth
ing in its record to suggest that it has either
the wisdom or the courage to so act.

Calico

TINE Chinese, while recording
i spots on the sun, regarded
them as unique and exceptional oc-
currences.
Calico, with his little telescope,
made the discovery that spots were
normal feature of the sun. The
same discovery, however, was made
independently by both David Fa-
bricius and Christoph Scheiner at
about the same time, and credit for
the discovery must be shared among
the three.
About half the sun spots last less
than four days, appearing and dis
appearing with considerable "a
pidity.
The other half, which include the
larger ones, last longer, but only a
small number outlast one rotation of
the sun. The rotation period of the
sun is approximately twenty-five
days.
Russell states that out of 5000
sun spot groups studied during
period of thirty-three years at the
Greenwich observatory, only 468
were observed to have continuous
existence into a second rotation OF
the sun.
Only lis existed into a third ro-
tation, twenty-five into a fourth,
twelve into a fifth and but one in a
sixth.
In single recorded instance,
Russell states, a spot persisted for
eighteen months. That was in
1840-41.
1t is common to note the bright
streaks called faculae upon the
surface of the sun, in the neighbor-
hood of sun spot. The breaking
out of new spot frequently is
heralded by the appearance of these
faculae and frequently they con-
tinue to exist after the spot has
disappeared.

How About MuSSoIini?

VXTHAT is the difference between
w well-rounded, well-bal-
anced young man, willing to work,
and genius? Most people asso-
ciate genius with eccentricity, but
is that quite true in the real sense?
Take Edison himself. Should he
be classified IS a genius, or as a
reasonably talented man who made
his way largely through steady,
conscientious effort?
Take Mussolini, who just has
celebrated his 47th birthday. How
should he be classified? If he had
died one or two years after becom-
ing dictator of Italy, people prob
ably would have called him a
genius. If he rules the roost for
twenty-five or thirty years, they
probably will forget to use the word.
Most geniuses, so-called, have died
young.

F formation
DEvELOPMENT of a sun spc

- usually begins with the appear
ance of the bright faculae inter-
spersed with small spots resembling
tiny pores.
These pores begin to grow in size,

umbra or dark center of the spot
is formed.
Meanwhile, The granules Of the
surrounding surface of the sun be-
come drawn into f1lamentS, form
ing the penumbra around the CEN
trail portion.
Sometimes sun spot will form in
this fashion within few hours.
Usually however, it takes two or
three days for a sun spot to de-
velop.
It is common for a fairly large
group of spots to develop stimuli
taneously.
According to Professor A. L. Cor
tie, an irregular group of spots uSu-
ally passes into a second stage in
which the spots are stretched out
in a group from east 10 west With
two spots larger than all the rest,
one at either end of the group.
The one at the head of the group,
that is, the one at the end of the
group pointing toward the direction
in which the sun is rotating, is uSu-
ally more compact and regular in
shape, though the one at the other
end of the group may be the larger.
After short time, the small spots
disappear, leaving only the two large
ones which had defined the two ends
Of the group.
Occasionally large spot will
break into several segments, bright
filaments from the suns surface
forming barriers between the seq
mentS.
The speed with which Segments
separate may represent a velocity of
900 miles an hour.

SCIENCE
Sun Spots Haze Important
Effect on the Northern
Lights and Also on Radio
Reception.
-BY DAVID DIETZ,

GUN spots are of particular in
- terest to mankind because of
the effect which they have upon
terrestrial conditions. 1t has been
known for many years that sun
spots were at times responsible for
magnetic storms which upset cables
and long telephone or telegraph
lines.
The spots also have an. effect
upon the northern lights or aurora
borealiS.
More recently, Professor Harlan
t. Stetson, director of the Perkins
observatory of Ohio Wesleyan uni
versity, has demonstrated that sun
spots have very important effect
upon radio reception.
Many authorities think that sun
spots have some influence upon our
weather. Undoubtedly this is so,
but the exact connection is not yet
known and officials of the United
States weather bureau feel that
weather predictions can not be
based upon sun spot studies as yet.
Sun spots vary in size from those
less than 500 miles in diameter to
some more than $4,000 miles in di-
ameter.
Occasionally, when the sky is
hazy, the haze acts as a dark glass,
making it possible % look at the
sun. At such times, if there is a
very large spot on the sun, it can
be seen with the unaided eye.
Ancient Chinese records tell of
spots seen in this way thousands of
years ago.
The study of sun spots did not
start, however, until Calico built
his first telescope in 1910.

If it is true that the long battle

she paid was heavy one, and there
can be little doubt that the noisy
tumult which greeted her when she

And yet I still think it was a fine
achievement and by no means a
useless one. Miss Ederle may have
done less for herself than she had
hoped, but something in human re-

she fought and conquered channel
