Don't Sell America Short

On the heels of President Hoover'5
proposals to snatch the mantle of
fear from business comes boom in
the stock market.
Wall Street always is trying to dis
count the probable business trend in
order to get in on the ground floor"
of enterprises which may be bene-
fitted by future events. In view Of
this fact, the action of the financial
powers may mean much or little, for
they may be mistaken as we'll as
anyone else.
A financial dispatch by the Asso-
ciated Press, however, carries one
item which may spell trouble for
those prophets of despair, the bears.
It is a notation that many brokers
report the public is back in the mar
ket TO greater degree than has been
noticeable for months, although there
is tendency to place order: for
stocks at figures below the current
quotations in hope of picking them
up if relapses should occur.
If this is being done to any large
extent it will be the best possible In
surance against effective bear raids,
for such orders constitute a back
log which will sustain the stock mar
ket in times Of stress. AS prices go
down, they will move into the range
OF these buying orders and this will
tend to halt the decline.
A bear who gets caught short In
such situation may find himself in
tough spot, for the public is essen
TALLY bullish and when it buys stocks
1t generally holds them for a rise.

BOstOn's Population

In colonial days Boston was a me-
tropolis. For many decades there
after the city was one of the two or
three largest in the nation. But re-
Gently Boston has occupied a posi-
ton fairly well down on the CENSUS
list; and this fact has been some
thing OF an injustice to the city of
beans. Goldfish and Cabots.
The official figures on the metro
politan area" recently released, tell
truer story. Within 20 miles of
Boston Common, it is now revealed,
there dwell 2,3o7,897 people. Metro
politan Boston, accordingly, is prop
erly fourth on the list of big cities
ahead of every city except New York
Chicago and Philadelphia.
Boston, as it happens, is encircled
by a ring of suburbs that refuse to
be annexed. Three of these suburbs
Cambridge, Somerville and Lynn
are cities of more than 100000 popu-
lation. So Boston, a huge urban cen
ter, gets a census count Of less than
100000, and is technically smaller
than several cities that are not, actu-
ally, as large.

Editor. Journal of the American
Medical Association

A small gladstone lying in the gall
bladder seldom causes severe Symp-
toms, although at times inflammation
associated with the presence of the
stone may produce pain, vomiting and
other serious disturbances. When the
stone begins to move out of the gall
bladder and through the ducts or
tubes that carry the bile from the gall
bladder to the intestines, 1t may be-
come blocked in its passage; then Seri-
GUS symptoms intervene.
Long ago Sir William Osler de-
scribed the symptoms Of stone in the
gall bile duct as including paroxysmal
and colicky pains, chills. fever. and
jaundice, followed by periods of COM
plete freedom from the symptoms. The
reason for this intermittent character
is the fact that the stone passes
through and the symptoms are re-
ueved until another stone comes down.
Sometimes the stone may lie in the
tube and not obstruct it until an in
flammation occurs when the passing
of the bile Is stopped.

NEW
YORK
!!!|!' Gill van

New York, Oct. 9-All right, boys
and girls! Today's lesson will now be-
gin:
What is a "cat walk? And what
is an Oscar? What is a 'gaffer"
and what is a "douser"?
Aha, caught you napping-and
don't look in the back of the book.
You won't find the answers there.
It seems that the movies have been
slowly getting together a dictionary
or lingo or whatever it is that is quite
as colorful and original as stage slang
or gang slang. All of which, have
just encountered in the annual issue
of Motion Picture Almanac" And so
that you'll be able to speak like vet
eran of the cinema world I'll pass on
a few Of the better words and defini-
tions:
A Gobo is a portable wall used in
absorbing sound when talkies are be-
ing made.
And an Elephant Ear is small CO.
bo used on certain conversational
close ups.
A Dupe is a negative from a posi-
tive.
A Jenny is a portable electric gener-
ator.
Stews are sounds picked up by the
machinery to the detriment of the
general effect.

And once all sound-reproducing
equipment is complete, you shout loud
ly: 20. K. on the Blop." There's one,
by the way. you can use at home.
When the soup and hash arrive, just
shout to Friend Wife: 20. K. on the
Blop, baby" And see if she gets you.
When a bad photo has been made,
it's "buzzard," and a "baffle blanket"
is a sound-absorbing felt curtain.
! The "cat walk" is the planked over
head bridge used in observing a set
| below or for setting up extra lights.
The "douser' is an arrangement for
cutting out any light that might 9TH
erwise trickle on set.
! Now when you want to talk about
the intensity of sound you refer to a
change of speed on a sound track as
a wow Wow" A variation in speed
is "Flutter" and a "Gargle" is 30 to
200 cycles. And don't forget "Whisk-

Daily Health Service
SURGERY is BEST SOLUTION
IN CASES OF GALL TROUBLE
Vast Majority of Patients Are Permanently Relieved

Associated with this, infection may
take place. Severe jaundice follows
and the patient is seriously sick. OF
course, the x-ray sometimes helps in
locating stones and methods are now
available for visualizing the gallblad-
der by the use OF an injected SUBJ
stance. In any disease of mechanical
origin of this character, the treatment
is quite obvious. It is necessary to
open the abdomen, find the spot at
which the stone is blocking the bile
passage and then to remove it s,lrgic-
ally. At the same time, the surgeon
makes sure that all other stones in the
tube and in the gallbladder are re-
moved. Indeed, it is common practice
to remove the gallbladder completely
in such cases, provided that the oper-
alive risk is not increased by this
work.
Thousands of patients have been
treated by this method with remark
able success. The mortality is not
great from the operation, and in the
vast majority Of cases, the patients
more than IS per cent-are relieved
permanently of symptoms.

The Big Hitch

Developments of the next few
years may see return to oldfash-
ioned methods with a new-fashioned
fillip on the farm.
With tractors standing idle, more
horses are being used but the OBJ
lection to this source of power is
that one man gets so little done.
The horse experts are attempting
to remedy this by instructing horse
users in the "big hitch" This is a
system whereby as many as 10 horses
pull together as one team, thereby
drawing a heavier load and enabling
one man to do practically as much
as with a tractor.
If the tendency grows we may see
a return of the old-time harness shop
which used to interest most of us
when we were boys.

History

Most of us are familiar with his
tory only in a secondhand way and
SO, when someone attempts to change
our ideas about a certain event we
cannot be too sure that the notion
we already have is correct.
For instance, in reading of a cer-
tain event, the angle from which it
is presented makes a great deal OF
difference. The vast differences in
books already published regarding
the causes and events of the World
war are ample proof of that.
We know that presentations of
data on that subject are open to
question because the thing happened
in our own time and we are familiar
with the varying attitudes of the
personalities and nations involved.
When, however, someone attacks
as false something which we always
have accepted without question, 1t
stimulates a queer reaction in the
average mind.
The latest event of this sort is a
declaration by one Harvey H. Smith,
retired jurist living in New York,
that the story of Abraham Lincoln
being born in log cabin and to par
ents in poor circumstances is myth.
The judge says Honest Abe" was
born in comfortable two-story house
owned by his father, who was not
poor at all but a man of means. He
has suggested that congress discon-
tinue an appropriation for the fam
Gus enshrined cabin on Nolin creek,
in Kentucky, which is presumed to
mark Lincoln's birthplace.
He says the cabin In question was
built after Abraham Lincoln was
born and was used by the family only
during the summer months when
Thomas Lincoln moved his family
out to it In order to be nearer his
agricultural land.
It is a far cry from this version Of
Lincoln's birth to that Of the humble
rail splitter and the question raised
can be settled, of course, only by
close scrutiny of the best available
data.
Judge Smith was born and reared
near the Lincoln homestead and his
ancestors were in close touch with
the Lincoln family as far back as
1766. This fact lends color to lis
declaration regarding the cabin and
the position of the Lincoln family
But regardless of the evidence
presented. most of lis will continue
to carry in our minds the picture Of
the humble rail-splitter who rose to
fame. We have a right to our own
prejudices, too, and somehow the
idea of a Lincoln born poor is more
stimulating than the thought Of one
born into a well-fixed family.
