DAILY HEALTH SERVICE

The most significant factor, of
course, is fatigue. The person
seems exhausted, particularly in
the early part of the day, and is
annoyed by the fact that he can not
seem to get going. After exercise
the fatigue seems even worse.
Many Of these patients faint
easily, sudden fright or shock
sometimes being the cause of the
sudden fainting spell. The period
of Inconsistencies lasts just a few
seconds, but may last as long as five
minutes.
While a murmur of the heart is
heard in many of these cases, Doctor
Rothschild does rot believe the
heart is involved in the vast ma
jority and he does not consider this
a disease of the heart. This is, in
a great many instances, nervous
condition and must be handled from
that point Of view.
On the other hand, it is important
to realize that if actual heart
disease is present, it is. of the
greatest Importance to recognize the
heart disease and to treat the con-
dition with the weakness of the
heart in mind.

ten men. But there are few who
have any satisfactory plan for what
to do with the ten men after the
machine has been perfected.
We suffer from unemployment
now not because we have been lazy
and shipshod in our factories and
salesrooms, but because we have
been too strenuous.
Everybody who can possibly use
an auto has one. Or almost every
body. And the same holds true of
radios, We must begin to learn the
economic value Of cultivating leisure.
We should consider the lilies.
What's the rush? If our national
character is founded upon the firm
belief that it is positively immoral
to dawdle, then let us force some
abatement upon the American peo-
pie by making a shorter week and
a reduced working day compulsory.

The Old Soldiers Pass On

In 1920 the United States takers found ssh
veterans occupying the Illinois Soldiers home at
Quincy, Ill
A few days ago tie 1880 enumerators finished
their count They found just 631 of the veterans left
and they dying at the rate of ten month
The survivors of the between the states are
growing fewer and fewer that dreadful conflict
cedeS farther and farther into history BY 1910 it
probable that few soldiers homes will house any OF
them.
It is hard to see them go. Their valor, their I'M
questioning patriotism have been leaven in the life
of the nation for decades north and south alike. We
are losing something of great value in their de-
parture.

Editor Times-The problem of
saving for old age is one thousands
of workers who receive small wages
are facing.
A few who have no children to
support and educate can achieve a
competence for the time when age
prevents work, but for the vast ma
jority this is impossible.
The difficult situation is made
worse by the fact that modern in
dustries bar men of IS or older,
even 40 in some cases, shortening
the period in which the worker can
earn.
A father thus barred from making
a living could in some cases be
helped by his children, but if they
are paid the usual level Of wages
they have enough barely to sup
port themselves. It is human
problem in simple arithmetic that
Is creating a situation which we'll
informed men and women class
among our greatest social problems.
An aged man and his wife, after
paying for rearing a family, arrive
at old age without money on which
to exist. Except in a few states,
the only solution to their problem
is the poorhouse. Here the COM
panions of many years are sepa-
rated-only the diseased in mind
and body, the sick and infrm are
permitted to remain together in
those institutions.
This inhuman situation could be
wiped out with old age pensions,
as advocated by the FraternaI Order
Of Eagles. Then the old couple
could remain in their own home, in
many cases place of hallowed
memories.
Governor Franklin d. Roosevelt
If New York on April 10 signed that
states old age pension bill. in the
presence of 200 Eagles. This makes
a total of eleven states and the ter
ritory of Alaska which have old age
pension laws. j. F. BEATTY.

Logic Is Strained
DRoFEssoR ROGERS is origi-

DROFESSOR ROGERS is origi-
l. nal, to say the least.
He not only adds a novel contri-
button to the mud-slinging match
which RACES over the Puritan graves,
but subjects logic to rather tough
strain in doing so.
Perhaps no other man in the
country would undertake to adj
vance the proposition that Puritans,
or any other sect, could be ahead
of us in government and behind us
in politics at the same time.
Putting that aside, why should
any one bother to argue that we
have not made progress in all lines
during the last 300 years?
If we haven't, there is something
basically wrong, not only with the
systems we have adopted, but with
our natural ability.
Only ignorance would go back to
the seventeenth century, with its
sodden superstitionS, its lack Of
comforts, and its hopeless outlook
on life.
Those who would set the clock
back invariably make reservations.
What they really want is the indi-
vidual freedom of that age, with
out sacrificing the social advantages
of this.

n AM as eager as the next one to
l. see a. woman serving in the SEN
ate of the United States. The brief
and honorary appointment OF a
woman from Georgia hardly served
to prove the point that the require
ments of the post really can be met
by duly elected feminine candidates.
Nevertheless, I hope that Ruth
Hanna Mccormick will receive a
sound beating when the ballots are
last in Illinois.
Surely no one should support Mrs.
Mccormick merely on the ground
that she is a woman, and an excep-
tionally clever one. Feminism in its
best sense should ask no tavors 1or
women, but merely that they should
start from the same scratch line as
male competitors.
If it is ignoble for a man to any
himself with vicious machine poll
ticians, then the same thing holdS
true in the case of woman.
Mrs. Mccormick may not nave
aneled for the support of Mayor
Thoinpson's Chicago gang, but She
profited by it. for all that.

They Can Be Told

AM sick of hearing that candl-
date can not prevent even vicious
factions from voting for him. A
candidate can do just that II ne
takes a fortnight and convincing
position on the issues OF the DAY.
Mrs. Mccormick, on the surface
was frank enough in her dry pro-
testations.
She gathered the support OF
church women and other militant
prohibitioniSts down state. Never
theless, she received thousands OF
votes from dripping wet chicago
politicians.
This must indicate that word went
about that the lady was somewhat
less dry than she maintained, or, as
may well be possible, the racketeers
of Illinois prefer to have a sem
blance of dryness rather than aid
any movement toward modification,
which would spoil their game.
In any case, Ruth Hanna McCor-
mick's election would serve to main
tain the present unsatisfactory Vol
steadian conditions, and on that
basis she deserves support from
neither honest vets nor honest drys.
You see am tolerant enough to
admit the existence of this latter
group.
On the world court issue, Mrs.
McCormick'S attitude has been to
appeal to the prejudices of the same
persons who hurrahed when Big Bill
Thompson threatened to punch the
nose Of King George if he ever came
to Chicago. She contributed moth
ing to clear and realistic study OF
the problem.
She has been consumed with am
bition to win promotion from the
house to the senate. To that end
she has spent yery large sums Of
money and traded with individuals
Of any stripe or belief who would
help her cause
A man who puts ambition above
principle deserves to be defeated.

MERGENTHALER's BIRTH

MERGENTHALERS BIRTH
May 10
ON May 10, 1854, Ottmar Mer-
~ genthaler, inventor of the
Cypesetting machine bearing his
name, was born in Wurttemburg,
Germany.
At 10 he came to the United
States and entered the employ of
the government at Washington,
where he kept in order clocks and
electric bells throughout the vari-
Gus government buildings. Four
years later he removed to Baltimore
to work on typesetting machine.
After countless experiments in
volVing wasted fortunes and the
severest kind of toll, Mergenthaler
finally invented the ingenious limo
type machine.
Before this time typesetting was
done by hand, just as it had been
done for 400 years. But with Mer-
genthaler's invention it could be
done by machine. enabling one man
to do the work of five ordinary
printers.
Instead Of setting type, the
machine sets the molds for casting
type, dropping them into place as fast
as the operator touches the keys,
until the line is completed. when the
moving of a lever forces molten type
metal against the matrices and casts
a solid line.
The molds distribute themselves
automatically and are ready to be
used again when the next line is
set.

DUR1NG the world war many
- soldiers suffered from a COM
bination of symptoms which finally
came to be called neurocirculatory
asthenia, although it was also
called Irritable heart" "disordered
action of the heart" and even effort
syndrome."
Indeed, the condition was so
common that the British Manual
called the condition D. A. H. and
under this name 1t appeared in
numerous official reports Synp-
toms of this disease had appeared
frequently in people among civil
life, but the World war served to
focus special attention upon it..
AS described by DR.. Marcus A.
Rothschild, this condition is char
acterized by sense of tiredneSs,
breathlessness, dizziness, pain in
the left side of the chest, general
shakineSs and increased suscepti-
bility to cold, inability to fix the
attention, insomnia, and a con-
ciousneSs of the action Of the
heart.
The person is inclined in general
to be concerned with the way his
heart is acting.

Super-GalaXY

a CCORDING to the new view,
1 n the local star cloud in which
our sun is situated is one of the
spirals which go to make up the
cloud of spirals or galaxies which
comprise what we formerly called
"our galaxy
"The new Interpretation Of our
own system as flattened cloud of
individual galaXies requires that the
stars around the sun form a local
system, as has long been main
tained," DR. Shapley said.
ut requires further that this To-
cal system, which includes the sun,
must have the same dimensions and
character as the spiral nebulae or
other external galaXies.
THE hypothesis that our system
is a super-galactic system indicates
that other star clouds along the
galactic plane or milky way are
units similar to the local cloud.
THE extensive Harvard investi-
cation of the milky way structure
now is being aimed toward dis
covery of the distances and boun-
diaries of the various galaxieS that
make up our super galaxy.
I'm the course of the investiga-
ton during the last year of the
milky way star clouds, several hun
dred new variable stars have been
discovered and their systematic
study by a number of workers at
the Harvard observatory is giving
data on the distances of the star
clouds, especially those in the gen.
eral direction of the center of the
super galaxy"
Speaking of dimensions, DR..
Shapley said that the diameter of
our entire system or Super-galaxy
as it can now be called, is at least
100000 light years.
The local galaxy including our
sun has a diameter of 5000 to 10000
light years, DR.. Shapley said,

Entitled to Protection

CCARFACE AL CAPONE is no
~ saint, ana very few communi-
ties are clamoring for his presence,
but he Is entitled to the rights that
go with citizenship until the police
of Miami, or any other place, can
pin something on him by due
process Of law.
If he is as bad as they say, or
even half as bad, who is to blame
and who deserves to be bounded?
Either there has been a lot of
loose talk about this man, or there
are lot of incompetent law en-
forcement officers, not only in Chi
cago, but other places.
Professor Robert E. Rogers of the
Massachusetts Institute of Tech
nology, who broke into print a year
ago by advising college graduates to
go in for snobbery, says that we
are all wrong about the Puritans.
1--WE think they were way ahead
of us morally and politically" he
says, "but much behind us in ed
ucation and government" That, ac-
cording to Professor Rogers, is not
the case.
Rating the Puritans rather low
in morals and politics, he still con-
Siders them above us in government
and education.
They had no nonsense about
equality in government" he says;
had no foolish notions about de-
mocracy, were careful to classify
people according to their, response
bility, and knew there was some
thing in achievement, background,
family and breeding which we have
discarded" ..-...a

over and over again the argu-

cause it increases efficiency.
But wholly aside from the pro-

when we should ponder the question
of whether this country has not be-

by DAVID DIETZ
or GALAXY, or MILKY Way,
NotO Is BelieUed to Be q
Series of Islands, a Great
Great Archipelago.

A NEW view of the structure of
N the universe in which We live
was described by DR.. Harlow Shap-
ley. famous astronomer and director
of the Harvard observatory, at the
annual meeting of the American
Philosophical Society in Philadel-
phia.
To borrow a comparison from
geography, the old idea Of the
galaxy, the great system of stars OF
which our sun is a member, was
that of a great continent.
According to the new view, our
galaxy is a series of islands-a great
archipelago.
This new view is in many ways
one of the most revolutionary in
PRODUCED into modern astronomy. 1t
will have far-reaching effects upon
future study of the stars and their
organization.
Studies carried on by DR.. Shapley
upon the Milky Way and by Shap-
ley and DR.. Edwin P. Hubble of
the Mt. Wilson observatory upon
the spiral nebulae, form the basis
of the new view.
According to the older view, our
galaxy was a great continent of
stars set out in a vast ocean of
space.
The spiral nebulae, which appear
in the big telescopes like Fourth-of-
July pinwheels, we're thought to be
islands of stars at vast distances
from our galaxy, the great CONT
nent.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1930-05-10
Clouds

THE recent study of the spiral
l. nebulae has revealed that many
of them are grouped together into
systems. More than forty such
systems have been revealed upon
astronomical photographs made vt
the Harvard observatory.
DR.. Shapely has coined the name.
clouds of galaxieS," for these Sys-
TENS. These clouds of galaxies lie
at immense distance from our own
galaxy. According to determine
tions made for some of them at
Harvard, they range from 10000,00
to 170,000,000 light years away.
A light year is the distance which
beam of light travels in one year,
approximately 100000, 100000 miles.
The general idea that our galaxy
might resemble a spiral nebula has
been considered by astronomers for
number of years. The fact that
our galaxy is a sort of flattened
disc, much wider than 1t is thick,
led to this conclusion.
The chief difficulty with the idea
was that our galaxy was SO much
larger than the spirals. The largest
known spiral is only about one-sey-
enth the size of our galaxy and
many spirals are far smaller.
1t has been known for some time
that the distribution of stars
through the galaxy was not uniform.
The stars seem gathered here and
there into star clouds.
Our own sun, for example, while
at a considerable distance from
the center of the galaxy, is very
near the center of such a cloud OF
stars

SAYS:

NEW HAVEN police staged a
IN brawl Thursday night with
Yale students, and Wednesday
night Cambridge police staged a
brawl with Harvard students, only
to mention two of many similar
occurrences throughout the country
Indeed. brawling between police
men and students seems to have
become a regular spring affair.
Most people excuse it as far as
the students are concerned, on the
theory that it represents little
more than the kind of horseplay
which goes with youth.
Maybe they are right, but some
times it looks as though high edu-
cation we're running to horseplay
more strongly than to anything
else.
Also, it sometimes looks as though
the police were ready to brawl with
any one at any time, and possibly
the students are doing lis real
favor in giving them opportunity
to get it out of their system In
comparatively harmless way.
Possibly, if there were a real live
college In Miami, the police of that
city would devote less time and
attention to Scarface Al Capone.
The enthusiasm with which they
arrest him, and with which they
threaten to arrest him every time
he comes inside the city limits, sug-
gests nothing so forcefully as a lack
Of outlet for their surplus energy.
