Rheumatic Diseases Many and Varied

There is no doubt that a failure
of proper activity of the intestinal
tract with the accumulation OF
much waste material badly infiu-
ences arthritic disease.
The kind of person who always is
uncomfortable in cold weather and
whose glandular action is not nor
NAL is likely to be also susceptible
to rheumatic attacks.
Hence, the person of what is
called the rheumatic constitution, or
diathesis, should, if possible, seek a
warm, dry climate and should avoid
circumstances likely to be followed
by attacks of rheumatic pain.
The pain of this disease is best
relieved by application of heat.
There are many ways in which heat
can be applied to the body, includ-
ing hot baths, hot water bottles,
electric heat, the heat from lights,
the heat from mud packs, warm wet
dressings and similar measures.
The physician always can select
the one best suited to the particular
patient
Much can be done in avoiding at
tacks by establishing a good
hygienic routine.

A Needed Stem

On June 2 the senate quietly passed senate joint
resolution 1859, by Senator McNary The house also
should pass this simple resolution.
Briefly, this resolution sketches a plan of federal
and state government cooperation whereby unem-
ployed persons suited to making their living from the
land could be allowed use of suitable moccuped farm
lands and buildings.
The resolution realizes the dangers inherent in any
such scheme undertaken without competent direction
and cooperation.
1t is aimed to avoid, so far practicable, any in
crease in production of agricultural products where
there now is a surfet on the market Care must be
taken that the SICK discouraged and penniess not
simply transferred from urban to rural
mites with good result to place additional bur-
den upon the farm families of this community.
The back to the land" movement moreover, must
be controlled and not deliberately exploited by those
who might wish to gain some personal selfish advan-
tage from its momentum.
Nevertheless, there undoubtedly are some families
starving in the cities who could, upon small farms
grow almost everything they would need to eat Every
of our forty-eght states is the unwilling, en-
harrassed possesSor of too many abandoned farms.
Certain southern states where the rgors of climate
would not enter into the relief picture definitely have
indicated their desire to have some of their vacated
farm lands and buildings taken up by unemployed
families.
Careful, cooperative work is needed.

All this was accomplished with

done by only eighteen men. Those
men operated the huge ratchet

DR.. Frost to try to find him a po-
sition in America. DR.. Frost brought
him to the Yerkes observatory.
Meanwhile, DR.. Strives father
who had fled from Kharkov in 1919
during the revolution, found a post

dent assistant. He elaborated
with DR.. Frost on number of
studies.
In 1923 he received the degree of
Pm. D. from the University of Chi
cago. Subsequently, as a Guggen-
helm fellow, he carried on studies
with Professor A. S. Eddington in
London.
He also carried on studies at Har-

His Great Grandfather

TT was just lit years ago that
l. Friedrich George Wilhelm Strive,
great-grandfather of Otto Strive,
was appointed observer for the
telescope" at the University OF Dor
pat. Friedrich then was 20 years old.
Friedrich's son, born at Dorpat,
was named Otto Wilhelm Strive.
He became his fathers assistant at
the age of 10.
In 1899, Friedrich was appointed
director of the great Pulkova OBJ
servatory near st. Petersburg. He
took his son along as his assistant.
The two carried on their work there
for fifty years, Otto succeeding his
father as director in 1862.
Otto had two sons, both of whom
were born at Pulkova and both Of
whom became directors Of observa-
tories. They were Ludwig, father of
the present Otto, and Karl Her
mann.
Karl carried on work successfully
at obServatories in Strasbourg,
Paris, Dorpat and then back to Pull
kova. In 1895 he became director
of the observatory at Koenigsberg
in East Prussia.
In 1905 he was made director of
the University of Berlin's observa-
tory, where he supervised erection
of the present buildings at Neu
Babelsberg, on the outskirts of
Berlin.
He has a son, George, who is a
member of the staff at Neu Babels-
berg.
Ludwig, the other son of Otto
Wilhelm Strive, served at Pulkova
from 1880 to 1886 and then at Dor
pat. In 1894, he was appointed d.
rector of the observatory at the Uni-a
verSity of Kharkov in the Ukraine.
AS already stated, Ludwig Is the
father of the new director Of the

ocratic candidate does not mean
that immediate action is to be
taken in furthering repeal. Already
the Southern drys have shown their
intention to sabotage relief.
In the election of 1928 it was not
the folk who threw their vote away,
but the supporters of the winner
who later had cause for regret.
And so It may well be in 1882.
AS rule, candidates lose in
American elections because they are
from four to eight years in advance
of popular trends. Even those who
really must hop bandwagon for
their souls sake ought to insure
themselves the satisfaction of taking
the car ahead and support a
minority ticket.

columnist would vote for Franklin
D. Roosevelt if he had to make a
choice between the Republican and
Democratic parties.
But no citizen is restricted to any
such harsh and hairline decision.
There never was prettier year in
which to throw away your vote.
And tossing ballot out Of bounds
always has been one of the most
effective ways in which the indivi-
dual can use this weapon. You are
much more likely to hit somebody

tice.
If it really were true that vote
for anybody expect the winner is
wasted, then millions OF partisans
of the major parties would find
themselves in the same boat with
supporters of the minority tickets.
In the judgment of this neutral
observer, Governor Roosevelt has
the election almost cinched. Ac-
cordingly, under the strict interpre-
tation Of the ancient rules, Hoo
yer vote will be meaningless. And,
of course, this neutral observer may
be wrong. In which case a, ballot
for Roosevelt would have to be
classed with the things which do

IF President Hoover was right in

treasury for private benefit, then
Speaker Garner is right in demand
ing direct loans to individuals and
private corporations.
All Speaker Garner has done is
carry the shoddy scheme to its
logical conclusion.
No such enterprise should have
been foisted on the American people,
and no such enterprise would have
been foisted on them, but for
President Hoover's unyielding OPP
position to direct and effective
methods.

available large amounts of money

DR. OTTO STRIVE. who just

astronomers to hold such post.
DR.. Struve is young man. He
will celebrate his 35th birthday in

Dr.. Frost Joined the Yerkes OBJ

the spectroscope. In 1920 his eyes
began to fail him and for the last
few years he has carried on his
executive duties in spite Of his
blindness.
A few years ago, I heard him
lecture, using lantern slides which
had been made since his blindness.
They were pictures which he never
had seen except through the eyes
of his colleagues.
Young Strive belongs to the
fourth generation of astronomers in
his family. The family, while of
German origin, won its scientific dis
