QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Question: Anna A. writes: Lately
I have been bothered with a contiu-
ual desire to move my eyes In all di-
rectto1s SO as to cause them to make
a clicking noise. Once I start It /
have to keep it up to the extent OF
even pulling my eyelidS down and up,
and turning my eyes in en- out. This
trouble seems to bother me mostly in
the morning and evening. Could you
tell me the cause of this irritation.
and the treatment? I wear glasses

ness"
Answer: Your trouble must be due
to nervousness and lack of control.
You should have a complete physical
diagnosis made. and If no definite
ailment exists you should then con-
suit some doctor who treats nervous
disorders through suggestion or
psychotherapy. Me
Bladder Fistula
Question: Mrs. S. F. asks: us there
any cure for fistula of the bladder?.
Answer: A bladder fistula can
usually be removed through an opera
ton or by cauterizing, but in most
cases such radical methods arc not
necessary. Frequently a cure can be
effected through regulating the diet
SO that the urine becomes less irritat-
ing and the fistula has a better
chance to heal.
Pains In Back
1 Question: N. l.. ]. asks: what is
the cause Of throbbing pains in the
lower part OF back, like hammer
blowS?"
Answer: Most pains in the lower
back are caused from prolapsus Of the
abdominal organs or some inflamma-
tory condition of these organs. Such
pains are seldom caused by any trou-
BILE in the back, itself, but in some
cases aches in the lower back may
come from q faulty position Of the
lumbar vertebrate.

Editorial Comment
His Life for Theirs
Duluth Herald)

Charles A. Bell, engineer on a Pennsylvania passenge,
train between Detroit and New York, early yesterdsS
morning felt his engine leave the rails.
He had . choice to make, and only seconds to make
1t In. He could Jump and save his life. On, ut the risk
Of his life. he could stay and set the airbrakes.
Bell chose to stay and set the air6rakes. He did
and he died.
But the nine Pullmans behind him were stopped short
upright on the rails. And their eighty sleeping pas
sengers. many Of whom might have been hurt or killed
lay safely In their berths.
Which proves again, II proof were needed, that there
are heroes Of the prosaic business of peaceful industry
that shine Is brightly to the glory of mankind q any
Of the heroes Of the battlefield that poetry has Inn
mortalized.

PICTURESQUE Cursing Declines

It seems to be accepted that there isn't as much ours
ing as there used to be years ago. Old-timers will tell
you that. Some old books contain . portion of the
evidence, though that sort Of realism did not prevail
generally In the novels of an age Of victorianism and
Of inflated ornateness in literary style.
Anyhow the impression Is getting around that the
recording angel is not as busy as In the days Of Uncle
Toby, recording the explosive oaths Of otherwise good
men and then blotting them out with q tear. Sacred
name societies have had much to do with the change
In this form Of manners. Maybe the auto. by relieving
men Of contact with cantankerous mules and balky
horses, has aided, too. Some philosophers. however. say
the present age is flaccid as compared with the past
and that men no longer have the "cussing" spirit their
forefathers had, because they lack the pioneer fibre that
thrived on hardship.
In . recent romantics adventure novel dealing with
lightings and roisterings Of the seventeenth century. the
author tells how . certain dour Scotsman was thrown
into jail for some breach Of the peace. Locked in his
ceu. this Scotsman stood up. looked about him and
began to curse.
NOW the novelist takes up more than half . page tell
ing how the prisoner cursed. He tells how he cursed his
jailers, the police who had arrested him. the witnesses
who had complained against him: how he cursed,
methodically and in order. their ancestors. singly and
collectively; how he extended his range then. and be-
gan cursing the whole ruling class Of Scotland from the
lowest bailiff to the high lords Of parliament; and now.

An Air Pilots Responsibilities


 The announcement that the Main Aeronautics Corporation of Pitts burgh has handed down a dictum to it's employees at the Pittsburgh Greensburg airport demanding ab- solute abstinence from intoxicating liquors not merely while on duty but for 24 hours every day, is in teresting.
 Evidently the corporation would not have adopted any such rules if pilots of airplanes never drank.
 The probability is that most of them never do drink, for the use of intoxicants certainly impairs a pi- lots ability to cope with the tre- mendously exacting requirements (both physical and mental) of the job. e#l #F
 The Main Corporation's edict is significant nevertheless.
 There are a great many drink ing people who stoutly argue that their drinking doesn't do them any harm, but even they do not want to go up in the air with a "ht-up" pilot any more then they want to take ride with a drunken chauf- feur.
 The reason why aeronautical cor porations deem it wise to warn all pilots and other employees against any indulgence whatever in liquor probably is that there is tendency to make much of fliers and press attentions upon them.
 One of the leaders in aviation here in Pittsburg was discussing this very subject with me the other day He said:
 "The public might very easily ruin many otherwise excellent pilots by the practice of taking them to parties where drinks are served. Pilots are the objects of a great deal of hero worship. They are in- vited out great deal, and all avia- ton companies would be deeply in- debted to the friends of aviation for taking sober view of the pilots responsibilities and refraining from soliciting them to do things that common sense brands as both harm ful and dangerous Press.

CANADA TO CONSERVE
 - '' V PACIFIC FISHERIES

VICTORIA. B. C.-Strong new measures to conserve Canada's great Pacific Fisheries, some of the most valuable in the world, were fore shadowed at a conference here be- tween the provincial Government, canners and fishermen.
 The Province having been given control of the whole canning indus try by a decision of the Imperial Privy Council, it Is expected to in- augurate an entirely new policy un- der which the number of fish can ming and processing plants operat- ing on this coast will be definite ly limited For many years this drastic program has been favored by British Columbia authorities, but the Federal Government always took the stand that any responsible organization which wished to can fish had right to do so. Instead of limiting canneries 1t limited fish ing seasons as a means of conser- vation. t,4s
 The Province has no control of fishing, but believes 1t can effect conservation by limiting canneries. As outlined by pr. s. F. Tolmie. provincial Premier, the desire of the Government is to conserve ex- isting fisheries, and, if possible, in- crease them for the future. with as little interference in industry as possible.

SEVEN ALASKA VOLCANOES 's ARE SHOUTING FLAMES

Seven of the largest of the Alas ka volcanoes are in active erup- tion and spouting flames and i'm mense volumes of sulphurous smoke according to reports from Dutch Harbor.
 The list of active peaks includes Katmai, whose eruption some years ago was one of the greatest in his tory; Pavlov, Mageik, Magamil Akutan, Chiginagak and Shishal' din, all located on the southern coast of the Alaska Peninsula or or the eastern Aleutians.
 The various peaks are said to have shown unusual activity shortly before Christmas. -a
 The outburst is the first general eruption in that region since 1927 and is believed to indicate that the island and coast contours are again undergoing alterations. This view is sustained to some extent by the recording of a tremendous earth quake in the neighborhood of the Aleutians a few days ago, the shock being felt over a large part of the world.

HOOVER SEEKS TO PUT INDIAN.
 ON NEW BASIS
HOPES TO BLEND THEM INTO l4 SELF-SUPP0RTTNG PEOPLE
 OF ENTIRE NATION

;.
 WASHIN program of bettering the administration of the Indian Bureau that he has so strongly recommended to Congress is for the purpose the President de- clares of blending the Indians as a self-suuporting people into the Nation as a whole"
 Long cognizant of the pressing need of drastic reforms in the man agement of the Indian Bureau, the President gave this, problem his earliest attention after taking of flee He named to the head Of the bureau two men long known for their advocacy in behalf of the In dian, and has since heartily sup ported the comprehensive program they counselled for bettering ad- ministration and greatly increas- ing the funds available for Indian children.
 Charles J. Rhoads, President Hoover's appointee, Indian Commits sioner, has stressed the importance of obtaining greater allowances for food and clothing for Indian wards at the government schools. With the support of the President in creases for this purpose have been included in budget estimates, both for the next year and for immediate use for the rest of the current fis- cal period. These are now pending before Congress.
 ''I have emphasized the necessity for reorganization of the Indian Blu reau," the President pointed out, by the appointment of MT. Rhoads as the head of the bureau and of MT Scattergood as his assistant, and Secretary Wilbur is giving it his very special attention.
 We have presented to Congress a request for an increased appropri- ation of some $3,OOO,O0O for next years budget, and in the meantime we have submitted an estimate in the deficiency bill for some increase for the balance of this year. The purposes of these increases are mainly to build up the education and health facilities, to change the direction of educational work and to develop the industrial improve ments of the Indians.
 "The broad problem is to better train the Indian youth to take care of themselves and their property. It. is the only course by which we can ultimately discharge this pro- blem from the Nation, and blend them as a self-snpporting people into the Nation as a whole.
 "The Indian bureau is recon meading to Congress a number F. .haagcs in the laws hearing on in A;rH affairs. The recommendations dasiened 10 secure better ad- minictratin9 of the very large prop st'es owned by the Indians and to rorroct many things in the admin istration of the properties that will make for citizenship"
