penSatlonS On account Of disabil-
ity, or retirement pay from army,
navy, or Marine corps.
If these men are truly disabled,
they should not be in the gov
eminent service, where a physical
standard is set, but should be
treated as disabled men and re-
quired to live on their compen-
sations or pensions.
Some may think this letter
little harsh, but investigation will
prove that it is very mild. There
are men in Indianapolis who are
employed by the government at
salaries that are steady and
salaries that many men would be
glad to work for, yet they draw
from the veterans bureau amounts
up to 500 a month in addition to
their salaries.
Many Of these men were not
out of the United States during
the war and some saw no real
service. Those able to hold down
jobs and work every day are not
disabled nor entitled to support
from the government.
Taxpayers, do yourself a good
turn, write your senators and rep
resentatives in regard to this
matter, and ask for strict in
vestigatiOn and action and relief
from these parasites.

vision of the pension law is an

The physician actively in charge
of the treatment of such a pa
tent can do much by controlling
the diet, eliminating the sub
stances to which the patient seems
to respond with headache.
He also can control the actions
Of the bowels and, on occasion, get
results by injection of various
preparations which produce what
IS known as non-speciflc protein
reaction.
The use Of various glandular
preparations to overcome def
ciencies in glands II, in some in
stances, to oppose overactivity Of
certain glands, is again expert
mental, but is worthy Of trial.
In cases which seem to be of
this type there arises the question
Of giving drugs of various types to
control the pain.
Here it is absolutely necessary to
have the constant attention Of
physician thoroughly familiar with
the patient, his habits, his emo
tional reactions, and particularly
his headaches.

Just Plain Sense
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

nUITE the most dscouraging article have ever
x read on modern marriage appears in the cur
rent Good Housekeeping" 1t sets up the idea that
todayS bride must exist in a state of armed defense
against her kind.
She must be prepared to fight for the loyalty and
love of her husband until kindly death takes her
for its own, or old age enables her to ignore all
earth's infdelities.
And if to take this as true picture of
the modern man, then lay down your weapons good
ladies, for this sort certainly is not worth fighting
for After you have scratched and battled your way
into his heart, you will find it but empty cham
Der, hollow space unit by warming fires.
How low has sunk the dearest of all human rela-
tionshps in this mad dynasty of moving picture
royaltiesl How undignihed has become the once
honorable position of wife in this land of wsecracks
and wantonness
The being who has been respected not only be-
she brought Joy and sweetness to the lives of
men, but because she is mother to the race now
is asked to convert herself into sort of half-wit

the VOWS Of marriage
VET after this modern bride has been perfect
Il hostess; after she has learned to carry score
of cocktails without disaster after she has perfected
herself in golf and tennis and bridge; after she has
swum and dieted and stood for years upon her
mental tpoes; after she has met all domestic crises
with gayey and humor; in short, after she has pre-
vented the capture of her priceless man by the in
vader, what does she have for all her trouble?
Exactly nothing, according to our author, except
a selfish, spoiled, unstable windbag.
It's more than absurd to put the entire response
bility for the success OF marriage upon the woman
Unless the husband, too, wishes and works toward
that end the most gallant lady not save it. be-
marriage depends upon reciprocity for survival
And what about motherhood? We've got to have
time out for that during the fray Or has it be-
impossible to keep husband and have baby
at the same time in America?

SCIENCE
Many Stars Are Twins
BY DAVID DIETZ

coalesce, separate to maximum.
and then once more come to-
gether again.
DR.. Roscoe F. Sanford of the
Mt. Wilson observatory summa-
rizeS recent studies of double
stars as follows:
l. The double star. visual or
Spectroscopic, is by no means a
rarity, but may be as frequent
as one in every five stars.
z. In general the spectroscopic
nlnarleS are found among stars
hotter than our sun.
3. The periods are longer on
the average for the cooler stars.
a. The orbits are more nearly
circular for those of shorter per-
iodS
.. The masses Of binary stars
are OF the same order as that of
the sun, varying from one-half
to seventy-f1ve times that of the
sun"
DR.. Sanford also says that the
theory of the origin of binary
stars which has been most gen.
orally accepted is the 'fission" the
DRY, which regards a double star
as the result of the division of
an original star into two COM
ponents.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1933-02-03

XXZITHIN the present century
w thousands of double stars
have been discovered and stud
led. Among the eminent astron-
omerS in this field Of study are
DR.. Otto Strive, director of
Yerkes observatory, and DR..
Robert G. Aitken, director of Lick
observatory.
Recently, DR.. Aitken published
double star catalog containing
data for 1900 visual binaries.
that is, double stars whose COM
ponents can be separated with a
telescope.
In addition to those visual bina-
ries, there are many Spectroscopic
binaries. There are double stars
in which the components are so
close together that they can not
be separated with the aid of the
telescope. The spectroscope, how
ever, reveals the true nature Of
these objects.
The spectroscope, as many
readers know, is an improvement
upon the ordinary glass prism. If
you hold a glass prism up to the
light it splits the light into a rain
bow Of colors.
Such rainbow is called a spec
trum. When the spectrum Of the
sun or of star is formed with the
aid Of a spectroscope, it is found
to be crossed with series of
black lines.
These lines are characteristic of
the various chemical elements and
serve to identify the elements
present in the outer layer of the
sun or star.
These lines, in addition, reveal
the motion of a star. If a star is
moving toward the earth, the
spectrum lines are found to be
shifted toward the violet end of
the spectrum. If it is moving
away from the earth the lines are
shifted toward the red.

XKTE can not afford to stand up

WE can not afford to stand up
w on ceremony or rugged in
dividualism in coming to the
rescue. Somebody may say that
everybody admits the absolute
necessity of providing food,
shelter, and employment for all.
If everybody agreed I think we
would get very little done. The
end of it all would be lip service.
But there still are large groups
which argue that the government
has no concern with an in
dividual's private affairs, such as
his right to starve.
There still are eloquent ed
itorials written against increasing
income taxes in the higher
brackets. The suggestion of a
capital levy arouses shudders in
drawing rooms.
The point which the essential
lists should stress is that the
necessary work Of salvation must
be done. Do the job first and
then decide on the label later.

The Warning Liberals

TOR the purpose of more i'm
Il mediate action, one of the best
things that could happen to Amer
lea would be the repairing of the
riffs which exist in the liberal
groups. These gentlemen still
stand on opposite sides of the fence
and make faces at each other. I
would like to see a movement to-
ward essentialisn, and I am not
speaking of its poor relation, OPP
portunism.
Somebody should draw up a
program of the things which must
be done here and now. am
thinking Of unemployment, evic-
tions, hunger, and cold. The other
day a paralyzed woman was
carried out Of her apartment and
left lying on mattress on the
sidewalk because the rent had not
been paid.
Such things must not be. If rad
ical remedies are needed to pre-
vent such episodes, then radical
remedies there will have to be. If
liberalism can offer a remedy, let
it show its hand, but without
further delay.
In the same way it is obvious
that protection must be extended
to farmers who already have lost
their homes or are about to lose
their homes through tax sales or
mortgage foreclosures. Nobody can
afford to be bothered whether the
way out is radical or revolutionary.
It must be done!
Men and women have frozen to
death in large cities. Some Gov
errors still contend that nobody
starves, but that hardly applies to
the slower = disintegration of
malnutrition.

Headache Victim: Avoid Excuses

This is the last of three articles by DR..
Fishbein on sick headaches.
TN a survey of methods Of treat
1ment to be applied in headache
DR.. Henry a. Riley points out that
almost every method Of treatment
known to medical science has been
applied at one time or another in
such cases.
He feels. therefore, that some
definite change should be made
in the life habits of such patient,
based on a complete survey OF his
work. his play. his food, his mental
attitude, and his philosophy Of
life.
An inequality of emphasis in the
patients interests and activities
should be corrected. He should
live a moderate existence and all
excuses should be prevented.
A patient who is constantly in
doors and gets insufficient exercise
should change his habits in the
right direction. Rest and change

Q-Why does the putting of a
spoon or knife in a glass before
pouring in hot liquid prevent it
from breaking?
A-Because the metal of the
cutlery absorbS a considerable
amount of heat from the first IL
quld that is poured in and cools
1t enough so that the glass is not

Q-Does the English sparrow live
on a vegetable or animal diet?
A-Recent studies Of the food
habits and economic status of the
English sparrow under present day
conditions show that the adult
birds are essentially vegetarian,

some of them are now fighting
against the pension for the SOL
diers. They say it is a heavy
burden on the taxpayers. Well,
they didn't take the second
thought that at least two thirds
of the veterans are taxpayers
themselves.
If the pensions are taken away
from many veterans, they will be
on the mercy of the county or
state. I can't see where it is say
ing the state or county anything,
because they are depending on
their pensions to live. They have
no work and can't get work. Where
is the government saving any

DOMESTIC DEBT RELIEF

if distress is to be held to minimum this year
is timely and sensible.
1t records that funds for lending on farm mort
gage security are meager, that there have been
large numbers Of delinquencies and foreclosures It
emphasizes, in a word, that congress must put UP
funds to rehnance this debt burden if agriculture
is to be improved
The house just has passed a bankruptcy bill
which provides way for the voluntary scaling down
of farm and corporate debts. This will accomplish
some good, if finally enacted
But congress, it seems to us, should not stop
there.
The farm organizations have agreed upon and
Senator Robinson of Arkansas and Representative
Steagau of Alabama have introduced bill for re-
financing farm mortgages. This measure provides
