BUY ONE VOTE

AS usual the effort to restrain the
greed of the men in the petty loan bust
ness lost by one vote.
1t would be exaggeration, of course, to
suggest that every senator who voted
against the measure has been corrupted.
Some, charitably, may have been mis-
led
Others, more charitably, may have
Shylock hearts which beat in sympathy
with the forty-two percenters.
1t may be unkind to suggest that dis
corning citizens study the geography Of
the vote and connect it with the fact that
one of the Samurai of the dominant party
is in the business of preying upon despera-
ton and necessity:
But if there is any senator who really
desires to know the effect of these loans
upon other business, may it be suggested
that he call in any merchant in the vicinity
in which this member of the Samural
operates, BlufftOn, for instance. and ask
him whether it is not a fact that any one
caught borrowing from this particular out
fit is not automatically denied credit for
any purchases.
Of course, nothing could have happened
in Indiana which compares with what is
happening in Ohio. In that state, the rate
is limited by law to Sc per cent year
A bill was introduced to reduce that in
terest rate to the figure named in the de-
feated Indiana law.
A member of the legislature, minis
ter charged openly on the floor that he
had been offered $1,000 to withdraw his
support for this measure. Indiana is pure
now.
But there is something peculiar in the
fact that any bill which tries to limit greed
always is defeated by just one vote.

and we almost cry out to him to
stop. He does stop, because he
can go no further. He has reached
the edge Of the world we can bear
and can not go beyond it.
1T is we'll that it is so, else we
Il might lose our way, if not our
wits. Many man has lost all
truth in trying to go too far and
too fast in quest of final truth.
After thirty years Of research in
this field, a man of science told
me that he had given it all up,
because he felt that he was not
able to bear further knowledge.
We come right up to the wall of
the world he said; we tap on it
and something seems to tap from
the other side but happily there
is wall between the two.
The old Greeks were wise when
they made their maxim, Think
as a mortal, in nothing too much"
So Plato taught, in his Doctrine
Of the Limit, and it is folly to
ignore his wisdom.
Fortunately, we live in "a
guarded universe" and are not
allowed to know truth until We
are able to bear it. We are spirits
now, albeit yelled in flesh, and
that is enough to know.

JUDGE COX ACTS

The people will watch with interest the develop
ments in the court of Judge Earl Cox in the mat
ter of bank receivershps
When bank fails, it is than calamity.
1t means disaster to human beings whose life saw
ings swept away.
There have been bank failures in this city which
have meant just that thing to countless thousands
If receivership is of any value, it must con-
for the depositors whatever left of the wreck
age caused by bad judgment or crookedness. A bank
failure is no situation for a scavenger nor a timd
person who fails to prosecute to the limit those who
may have betrayed the trust of depositors.
The announcement of Judge Earl Cox that he
intends to let light flood the bank failure situations
will be welcomed by many more than the depositors
directly affected.

Every Day Religion
. BY DR.. JOSEPH FORT NEWTON

A LII of us will answer mo" but
L n we are not quite sure
whether we believe in ghosts. We
do, Subconsciously at least. If any
man insists that he does not, let
him come into my study any
evening and listen to three hair
raising stories, and then go and
stand in the cemetery while the
clock strikes IL! He will be more
than human if he does not feel
creepy and shivery and shy.
So it has been as far back as
human records go, from the Witch
of Endor down to our own day.
Man never has been sure that the
uncanny is the unreal. In broad
daylight he may talk bravely of
"a lot Of bunkum about spooks,
but he is dinly. fearfully aware
of a psychic world just beyond the
world we know.
Hints, whisperings, and strange
limitations Of that world reach us
at times, but it is a world we can
not bear.
If you have ever heard a
master violinist play you will

Attempts also have been made in
Egypt to use mirrors to concen-

Many investors have dreamed
of device which would generate

IT is conceded generally that one thing wrong with

heart of the trouble. A politician after all can be

didn't have any clear conviction
as to whether he should put his

SCIENCE
Sun Power Is Mighty
BY DAVID DIETz

TITO duplicate the light of the
Il sun on the earth's surface, it
would be necessary to cover the
sky with an almost solid canopy
of electric light bulbs. This inter
esting comment on the power of
the sun compared to mans arti-
fetal lights is made by the en-
cheering department of the
Westinghouse Lamp Co. OF
Bloomfield, N. j.
To produce the equivalent of
sunlight, it would be necessary to
suspend thirteen incandescent
lamps over each square foot OF
the earth,s surface.
The canopy would lack just a
little of consisting solidly OF
lamps, since it is possible to crowd
sixteen average size electric bulbs
into a square foot.
1t is estimated that $50 billion
lamps are sold in the United
States every year. The Westing-
house engineers calculate that if
all of them we're turned on at
once they would illuminate to
sunshine intensity some 27,279, 1000
square feet of the earth's surface.
This area is a little less than a
square mile and is roughly equi-
valent to the lower half of Man
haitian in New York City Or the
Loop district of Chicago.
1t would be a simpler thing for
the engineers to reproduce moon
light, since the full moon, at its
brightest, gives only one four
hundred-t housandth as much
light as the sun.

CONGRESS VS.. THE NATION.

Now that President-Elect Roosevelt is preparing
for foreign debt negotiationS-as President Hoover
did before him, and as any President would be
forced to do by the hard facts of the suation-the
cry of the last dchers is heard in congress again.
Because congress more than year ago got
crossed up with Mr.. Hoover and refused his
quest to reopen the matter of the isoatonists
now say that the President-elect should stay away
from the problem-apparently forever.
Certainly congress should act and certainly
when Mr.. Roosevelt comes into office he should ask
congress to act But meanwhile world events will
not wait upon the anomalies of a lame duck sys-
tenn or the vagaries of obstructonist senators.
The only chance of eventual action by congress
is that the President lead Therefore. it is for
tunate that the President-elect is preparing even
now for negotiations with debtors.
The issue is not academic 1t is a practical
situation in which some debtors have defauted al
ready and the others have declared they will make
no more payments under existing terms.
Confronted with the reality. we have only two
alternatives: Either permit the defaults to
tinue and lose our money, or meet the individual
debtors and get as much money possible under
the best terms possible.
Cancellationists are not those who favor debt
negotiations and revision under which We shall re-
ceiye cash or concessions, or both. The real can
cellationists are those who refuse to reopen the
negotiations, with the result that We shall get
nothing.
With the case for negotiations so clear, why does
congress continue TO stick its head in the mud OF
nreiudice and refuse to see? The customary ex-
cuse given that the country is opposed, and that

F0odSensitivity May Cause Headache

physician may evaluate all differ
ent factors that may be con-
cerned.
1t perhaps is best at this time to
consider the headache or the pain
as the symptom of a disorder of
the human body rather than a
disease in itself.
Sometimes the headache IS as
ISOLATED with the type Of nausea
that has been mentioned; some
times with disturbances of vision
in the form Of blindness, dullness
of vision, binding flashes of light
or dizziness.
In certain cases there are, asso-
ciated with the pains in the head,
emotional disturbances, such as a
feeling of depression or melan-
cholia.
In other persons headaches are
associated with restleSsness and
irritability, and in still another
group with confusion, absent
mindedneSS, or a tense unreality.
In some cases there are pains in
the abdomen which are of the
same type as the pain in the head.

Here Is Energy

IT is a well-known fact that the
l. sun furnishes the earth with its
heat as well as its light. In addi-
ton, the sun furnishes the earth
with invisible ultraviolet light.
It is the ultra violet which
causes the skin TO tan when ex-
posed to sunlight.
1t has been estimated that the
amount of energy sent from the
sun in the form of radiation which
falls on each square foot Of the
earth's surface in one second is
the equivalent Of two-thirds Of
a horse power.
Many engineers look forward to
the day when man will be able to
utilize more directly that energy.
OF course. he uses it indirectly
now 1t is the energy Of sunlight

Plenty of Moonlight

TINE electric lamps sold in one
n year, as already stated, would
not be sufficient to furnish sun
light intensity to square mile Of
the earth's surface.
They would, however, furnish
the equivalent Of moonlight for an
area of 100000 square miles.
To furnish artificial moonlight
to the entire United States would
require eight times the number
Of electric lamps sold in one year.
AS a matter Of fact, astrono-
mers estimate that the sun is
more than 100000 times as bright
as the moon. They calculate that
it would take 465, 1000 full moons to
equal the sun.
The brightest star in the heav-
vens is Sirius, the dog-star. The
sun is eleven trillion times as
bright as Sirius.
Astronomers calculate that the
intensity Of sunlight on the earth's
surface is the equivalent of
$4,000 candles placed three feet
from the observer.
If we could get up to the sun it
self, we should find that every
square inch of the suns surface
shone with a light equivalent to
about 100000 candles.
We should also find the surface
of the sun intensely hot, since the
suns light is due to the fact that
the suns surface has been heated
to incandescence.
Observations indicate that the
surface temperature of the sun is
about 10000 degrees Fahrenheit.
The internal temperature must
be higher. Some authorities think
that the center Of the sun has a
temperature Of 100000 degrees.

Running the Gantlet

A ND I also would cite the mat
IA ter of intermission manners.
It is quite true that many of
New York's theaters are arch
itecturally at fault. 1t is diff
cult under the best of circum-
stances to reach the outer air or
lounge, and exit is hardly expe-
dited by the current practice of
those who reach the end of the
aisle or narrow doorway and
there take up their stand, as if
they were Spartans defending the
pass at Thermopylae.
I wish that in my school days
I had been superb plunging full
back instead of a mediocre guard.
Even so, when next I attend the
theater, I plan to equip myself
with leather headgear, and when I
get home, I hope to find it all
splotched with mangled ermine.

THE NEXT INQUIRY

Two townships Of this county are fighting for the
taxes on the new power plant of the Indianapolis
Power and Light Company.
Only the taxpayers of those townships are inter-
ested.
The quarrel develops the fact that the plant is
listed for taxation at about five millions of dollars
When the legislature settles the matter of geog-
raphy, the public service commission has duty to
perform.
1t must inquire, if conscientious as expected on
just how many millions of dollars the people of this
city pay interest for the construction of that plant
If it should discover that many more millions
of stock were issued for that plant change in the
tax board which fixed this as the real value is
strongly indicated.

This is the first of three articles by
DR.. Fishbein on migEaine or sick head
ache.
NEIGRAINE or sick headache
IV1 often is called recurent
headache. 1t is called sick
headache because it sometimes Is
accompanied with nausea or vom-
iting.
Sometimes it is found to be de-
pendent of uncorrected errors of
vision or sinus disease, or on var.
ious poisonings or the body.
In other words, it seems to be
associated with sensitivity to food
of one kind or another, or even to
serious diseases of the stomach
and other organs of the body.
On occasion. severe headache is
associated with disturbance of the
brain, such as tumor or harden
ing of the arteries.
In some instances, the head
aches may be wholly on mental
basis.
1T is not well, therefore, to at
Il tempt to differentiate one
group Of headaches as migraine
and others as simply headache.

be studied carefully, so that the

Very probably one of the causes
Of the decline of the empire was
the fact that the patricians be-

view cut off by dinner party,
which barged in half an hour
after the beginning of the show.
The usher came down the aisle
and said: let me see your stubs.
Are you sure you have the right
seats?" And the people in the
belated detachment couldn't seem
to make up their minds whether
Mildred should sit next to Jack
or whether Betty should go in
first.
BY the time they decided that
problem and allowed the. poor
commoner to have an unobstruct-
ed line of vision to the arena, the
Christian was gone, and nothing
remained but a rather SNUG and
satisfied lion.
1t spoiled the commoner's fun

he got home he said to his fam

XXTOMEN have their symptoms
" chiefly at the time of their
periodic function. In many cases
the headaches occur frequently,
but in the majority about once
in two weeks.
The type of headache called
nligraine occurs most often be-
tween 10 and IS years of age, but
may appear at any age.
There was a time when it was
thought primarily to be a disease
affecting women, and some
writer's have said that it occurs
four times as often IN women as
in men.
More recently, careful studies
seem to show that headaches of
this type occur just about as
often in men as in women.
The reason it has seemed to be
more frequent in women is that
they are more likely to consult a
physician about the condition
than are men, and that their at
tacks may seem to be more
severe.
