Just Every Day Sense
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

THE moving picture production of "Frankenstein'
Il was meant, no doubt, to move audiences with
horror.
1t presented to the public a new actor-a monster
who is by all odds the most pitiable figure ever seen
upon the screen.
According to the story, written long ago, this crea-
ture was made by a man, and therefore is a being
without conscience and without soul. He is an animal
and his trail is bloody.
Yet how can we look at this picture without un-
derstanding that most of our criminal suffer from the
same injustice of creation that produced this brute?
Cast into existence, willy-nilly, with their traits
whether they be good or evil, stamped upon them by
a long procession of f~orebears, bewildered by a thou
sand incomprehensible moods, marked perhaps with
the stamp of innumerable tendencies, is any man
more to blame for his deeds than was this monster of
Frankenstein?
A ND how the people howled him down? How the
IN very man who had created him with so much
pride sought to torture himl In all the universe there
men screamed vengeance at his heels.
One could have wept with compassion at the fate
OF this pathetic creature, a Pigment of the human
imagination. yet one that we so well might use as q
symbol for millions of men who have had from their
more fortunate and saner fellows naught but cruelty
Society. a Frankenstein, creates the criminal ano
always is the first to cry for his blood.
And the brain that is twisted ever so slightly car
not be healed by harshness and punishment alone
The evildoer is also our brother.
How can the good help ths bad save by tolerance
and pity7

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE
Arthritis Durable IF Detected Early

Osgood, make it certain that he
suffered from cricks in his back be-
fore he became a fossil"
Rheumatic diseases are response
BILE for a terrific loss of time and
thereby of money. In England
they caused one and a half million
weeks of idleness in one year, and
cost the relief agency $4,000 900.
Far too often chronic infamma-
ton of the joints is looked upon as
an incurable condition and one
which is impossible to control.
There seems to be reason for be-
lieving, however, that attention
given early and adequately to this
condition will bring about success in
its treatment. In order that treat
ment may be given adequately, it is
necessary that it be recognized in
its earliest stages.
The physician who makes his
diagnosis does so on the basis of
definite changes that take place in
the tissues, including particularly
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1932-01-27

the surface of what are called the
synovial membranes and of the
bones involved in the joints. The
synovial membranes are the tissues
which enable the joints to move
freely and which act as ~lubricating
surfaces.
In the national hospital for ar
Thrills in Sweden it is found that
approximately go per cent of the
patients properly treated early have
either permanently recovered or
after three years become enabled to
take care Of themselves.
The whole purpose of this discus
sion of the subject is to urge people
who have pains in the joints. who
suffer with Inflammation of the
joints, or who have the slightest
notion that they suffer with such
infections, to ge prompt and COM
plete medical attention before the
condition produces permanent dam
age and Gripping.

Magnifying Power
TINE light-pather;np nou,er

THE light-gathering power of a
Il telescope depends upon the area
OF its object lens or mirror. That is
the reason for building big tele-
scopes.
The human eyes, which DR.. Leon
ard points out may be regarded as
a small telescope, has a lens, which
when dilated to its utmost is about
one-third of an inch in diameter.
The 100-inch telescope, therefore.
has 300 times the diameter of the
human eye, or 10000 times the sur
face. Therefore, it will reveal stars
10000 times az faint as will the I'M
aided eye.
The new 200-inch telescope will
have four times the surface of the
100-inch. Therefore. it will be four
times as powerful.
The amount of magnihcation
which is possible with a telescope
depends upon the eye-piece used
The object glass or mirror concen-
trateS light into an image. The eye
piece Of the telescope acts as a mi
croscope and magni1es the image.
There is a relationship, however.
between the size of the object glass
or mirror and the amount Of mag
MITIGATION which is possible In gen
eral, DR.. Leonard says, each inch in
diameter of the object glass or mir
ror will permit of fifty or sixty
times magnifcation.
1t will be possible, therefore, with
the 200-inch telescope to use a lax
imum m~agnifcation of about 10000
times. That is why the telescope
will cut the distance of the moon to
a 10,000th of the real distance.

ENGLISH producers and their
~ press agents must be pretty
hard up when they try to make
business for domestic films by blam-
ing the Dartmoor riot on the out
put of American studios. It does
seem as though they might think
Of something more original, or be
honest enough to admit that 2 lit
tie more sugar in the porridge would
have prevented the rumpus.
How many movies do the inmates
OF Dartmoor see, and who selects
them? Or, was it some telepathic
influence that wrought the mis-
chief, some queer new agency of
transmission that carried the bale
full message across leagues of bar
rem country and right through those
grim walls?
No, we won't appeal to the League
Of Nations for a decision, but lust
go on making snapper films.

Gathers LIGHT
THERE is. AS q rule. some cnl

THERE is, as a rule, some confu-
Il sion in the layman's mind as to
just how a big telescope functions,
DR.. Leonard undertakes to clear
this up.
1T should be realized at the OUT
set" he. says. that the primary
function of a telescope is to collect
light-not to magnify, as is popular
ly supposed.
Indeed. its capacity TO make err
tain objects appear larger or nearer,
is only a secondary function of the
telescope.
"A telescope may be likened TO a
funnel in that the telescope collects
a large amount of light and con-
centrates it into a sufficiently small
beam to enter the eye of the observ-
er; accordingly. the instrument
makes available to the astronomer a
larger quantity of light than he can
obtain with the unaided eva
Telescopes are of two kinos-rr
tractors and %refectors. In the re-
fracting telescope, which is the more
familiar variety, since opera-glasses
and S~py-glaSSeS are of this type, a
large double convex lens, called the
ob~ject-glaSS, at the upper end of the
teleScope-tube gathers the light
from the celestial bodies.
In the rejecting telescope, how
ever, a large concave mirror, sill
vered on its front (concave) surface
(not on its Jack, as is the case with
the ordinary mirror or looking
glass'), and mounted at the lower
end of the tube collects the light
from distant objects and performs
the same office as the large lens
in the r%efractor.
THE greatest telescopes in the
world r of the rejecting type. and
the 200-inch will be. since it is both
easier and less expensive to con-
struct large mirrors than large
lenses.

Our British Critics

ITO cap the climax regarding the
Il movie and its possible influence
On justice, English critics are blam-
ing American gang films for the riot
at Dartmoor.
One could dismiss this as a piece
of utter nonsense but for the COM
mercial element involved.
England, and a lot of other
countries for that matter, has been
moving heaven and earth TO kill off
American movies in favor of the old
home product.
Thus far they have not been very
successful. In spite of tariffs and
other acts of discriminatory legis-
lation, the American movie DOM
mates the screen.

Jealousy Goes Cunning

TT would be unfair to generalize
l. on this episode without calling
attention to the part played by
coincidence.
Mrs. Olga ziegler was being tried
for the murder Of her husband, a
wealthy manufacturer who was shot
to death by George Flanard.
Flanard already has pleaded
guilty to murder in the second de-
gree and was expected to become
the states star witness.
1t is alleged that ziegler had been
paying attention to Flanard's
sweetheart; that both Flanard and
Mrs. Ziegler were jealous on this
account and that she induced
Flanard to kill her husband.

Peoples Voice

Editor Times-I wish to say a few
words regarding the restoration of
salaries sought by our county off,
Gals.
1t is not necessary to state why a
judge should make a ruling against
the county councils reduction of
salaries of county officials. 1t looks
like monumental gall for these off,
Gals to ask an increase in salaries
in these times of unprecedented Suf-
fering.
They talk about economy and re-
ducing expenditures, but when it
comes to touching the salaries of
these officials, they raise a mighty
howl, and say the council has no
authority to reduce their salaries.
To allow these salaries to be re-
stored in the face of existing cir
cumstances, while children cry for
food and thousands of men walk
the streets seeking employment to
help their suffering families, such
measures would defeat every Demo-
cratic candidate for Office in Marion
county at the November election.
A OCRAT.
Editor Times-I am a constant
reader of The Times and 1 wish to
express my views of the bonus
question. I am in favor of payment
in full of the adjusted service GER
tifcates. If we had a few more
organizations like the v. F. w. we
would have a lot Of e~x-service men
on the road to recovery.
If it isn't possible that the next
congress can pass a measure to
pay us in full, they could pay us
all the back interest they are charg-
ing us and make the certificates
negotiable. so we can sell them.
or do as we want with them.
I have not had L job since last
winter and I don't see any prospects
at present. I stages at the Soldiers
Home last winter during the coolest
months, and I guess a lot more of
us viii have to do the same this
winter.

A VIEW of the moon such as
IA would be obtained with the
naked eye if the moon we're only
twenty-five miles away. will be fur
nished by the 2OO-inch telescope
soon to be built upon a California
mountain-top near Pasadena.
Possibilities of the new telescope
r pointed out by DR.. Frederick G.
Leonard, chairman of the depart
ment of astronomy OF the Univer-
sity of California at Los Angeles. in
a bulletin of the Astronomical So
ciety of the Pacific.
Speaking of a twenty-hve-mile
view of the moon, DR.. Leonard saws:
AT such close proximity, it would
be quite possible to distinguish large
buildings. and to perceive other
manifestations of life on the moor
if it were inhabited by a race Of be-
ings like ourselves.
Unfortunately, since the moon
is devoid of air, water, soil and
life Cat least what a biologist would
call lfe), it is doubtful whether such
a Closeup view of our nearest
neighbor in space would be as in
teresting and as informative as
such a view might prove to be in
the case of a habitable world"
The moon is actually 5000 miles
from the earth. The effect of the
200-inch telescope. therefore. will be
to cut the distance to a ten-thou-
sandth of what it actually is.
