their opener at Frankfort, though
they were defeated. They slipped
against Morton and picked up
power in the Muncie victory, only
to fall apart at Rushville. The
Logan Berry tilt doesn't count
much either way. The East Siders
did we'll by themselves in that
encounter. In fact, they displayed
a real flash of brilliance in the
first quarter when they grabbed
the lead over the Berries.
Coach Tim has another poten-
tial pivot star in big Chris Mocas.
But, judging from the Muncie and
Logansport performances, Tim
still has a lot of work to do in
that department.

softly into the denouement-
Tech-by HUT. Meaning that
the pick is based one-fourth on
the fine play of Tech in the first
quarter against Logansport, one
fourth on the poor showing of the
Blue Devils at Delphi, and one
half on the basket abilities of
Techs Dale HUT, who looms as
the best of the ten men who will

HERE'S HOW TO SAFEGUARD
YOUR INVESTMENT

Your own judgment will tell you
that you must invest wisely and
thoughtfully-if you would reap the
maximum In benefits from property
improvements. Here are few points
to remember:
/. Select good workmen. You should
personally know the contractor or
workman who will handle your Job or,
If not. check his reputation for re-
sponsibility and skill. Probably the
only effective safeguard as to price is
the securing of competitive bids.
You should not pay for the work or
sign a note covering the cost Of the
work without receiving written guar
antee.
2. Recondition-in It's best sense.
No item Of repair. alteration or i'm
provement should be an attempt to
conceal building defects which are
more fundamental. If the work in
wolves a large expenditure or major
changes in a building-that is, If 1t
involves alterations and new construc-
ton rather than mere repairs, 1t Is
wise to consult an architect or engi-
neer. Your, saving will be much great
er than his fee, which may be included
In the loan.
8. Consider the neighborhood and
the character Of the property to be
improved. Costs and benefits should
be weighed against the buildings fu-
ture and its surroundings. IF your
application is rejected because Of I'M
favorable neighborhood conditions,
you may still become eligible for a
loan by enlisting a substantial group
of neighbors in general neighbor-
hood Improvement plan.
4. Increase the value Of your prop
erty by as much--or more than-the
cost Of the work.

This committee on economic
security, made up of cabinet MEM

Your Health
by DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN

HAVE mentioned frequently in this column the
unusual forms of painful conditions which develop
in certain kinds of jobs.
Probably you know about writer's cramp. but are
YOU aware that there are similar conditions occurring
among telegraphers hammererS and twisters?
Writer'S cramp seems to occur more often in
persons who are inclined to be and anxious
than in those who more Stolid and robust. How
ever overwork seems TO play definite part in Its
appearance.
Fourteen Of $500 employees in the postofice de-
partment in Great Britain had to be transferred
10 other kinds of work because they developed
writer's cramp That. of course means that transfer
TO another kind OF work usually is the best cure for
this condition.
Sometimes a cure NAV be obtained by changing
TO different kind of pen. to different position of
sitting when writing learning 10 use typewriter, or
writing with the left hand instead Of the right.
THE cause of writer's cramp is believed to be
Il the development of some sort OF overStlmulatlon
Of the part Of the brain and the nervous system
concerned in the writing technic. The symptoms of
writer's cramp are. OF course, spasm and weakness
in the hand used in writing.
TelegrapherS cramp Is something OF the same
kind but occurs TO men who punch the telegraph
KEY and afflictS the hand and arm that are con-
cerned in the work.
The twister's cramp occurs to persons in the
weaving industry who spend most of their time
twisting for weaving processes.
ora different character is the effect Of pneumatic
~ tools on the tissues involved in holding the
rheumatic manner Two factors apparently in
voved one is the pressure Of the tool and the vibra
ton which affects the circulation in the fingers
especially the left hand The fingers in this hand
are likely TO so dead or numb.
The other effect Is the condition of cold produced
BY the escape OF compressed air on the hands.
Other investigators feel that the form Of the
tool the way in which IL Is held. its weight and the
noise associated with the work may be involved IN
producing the serious changes in the blood vessels
which are later reflected in the tissues of the hand
Liability TO this condition increases as time goes
on and the only hope for relief IS removal from TINS

are not cor fly subjected 10 the vibration and the

now with all these relief and well
fare plans.
How are we going to finance all
these others? Where's the money
coming FROM"
well, for instance, IN unem-
ployment insurance, usually the
government puts in some, maybe
the states, the companies, and the
men who work-all chip in and
form pool.
Then when men are laid off
they draw out of it in proportion
to what they've put in. Or may
be there's a pay roll tax of from
2 per cent to 4 per cent on wages,
collected by the government.
THE exact best way, whether to
have a big national pool, or state
pools, or pools in individual COM
panies, those are the things
they're pow-Wowing about in
this committee now"

she is preparing to get out of the
Philippines at an early date. Fur
thermore, Great Britain is quite
as much interested in the fate of
the Philippines and the open door
as is the United States. She is
more dependent upon foreign
trade than this country, and the
Philippines, in the hands of ia
pan, would be a pistol at the head
of Australia.
Britain, too, has her vast
spheres of interest" to think of
in China. She has Kang Kong,
India, the British East Indies and
Australia to consider. Even now,
with five tons of warships to ia
pans three, Britain is in no posi-
ton to fight Japan anywhere in
that area. Should Nippon in
crease the might of her fleet to
equal that of Britain, the latter's
Pacific and far eastern interests
would be plainly at the mercy of
the former.
A CCORDINGLY, part of the
L n Tory government at London
favors coming to an understand
ing with Japan. Yet the Tories
hesitate. They do not wish a
simple renewal of the old Anglo
japanese alliance which would
bring Britain into a war on the
side of Japan in certain con-
tingencies. But a less dangerous
formula, satisfactory to Japan,
seems difficult to find
Yet Britain is aware that
Europe may blow up almost any
minute. In the event of an ex-
plosion, she would need to be at
her strongest at home. She would
not dare engage in adventures in
the Antipodes involving the use Of
force. Thus an arrangement with
Japan safeguarding Britain's in
terests in the Pacific and Far East
would be comforting to many.
But, say British opponents of a
new Anglo-Japanese entente,
Japan will not perform any such
service without a substantial quid
pro quo. And if this quid pro
quo meant siding with japan in
some warlike undertaking, espe-
cially if aimed at America, 'it
would split the empire from top
to bottom"
A third school of British opinion
favors an Anglo-American under
standing. The alternative, say
such leaders as Lord Lothian, of
England, General Jan SHUTS, Of
South Africa, and others. is to
turn over the western Pacific and
eastern Asia as a japanese hege-
mony.
