Your Health
by DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN

DACKACHE is said to be the second most COM
ID mon ailment of human beings the first being
disturbance of the bowels. chiefly constipation
Probably both of these disorders result from
civilization. The animal eats when it can and
empties its bowels whenever it pleases. You eat at
definite periods and must control your physiological
functions in accordance with the customs under
which you live.
BY your posture when sitting standing or walk
ing YOU throw strains particularly your spine,
and these strains associated with pains that you
may feel frequently.
The knee the elbow and the shoulder represent
single joints but the spine has more than score of
joints. all held together in series and adapted to
motion in various directions. Because of the neces-
sty for motion there cushions between various
bones which act shock absorbers.
These bones represent about one-fourth of the
movable part Of the spine. Every time the trunk
moves. they are involved.
XXTHEN the specialist examines your back he
w notices its alignment while you stand sit or
lie down. he notices how it moves when you change
from one position to another. He studies any un-
usual bumps
He notices the position of your shoulders. hips
arms. abdomen and back in relation to the various
curves of the spine. He finds out whether there are
any pains spaSms along the spine, and again
peats these tests in the three different pastures.
Then he has TO know about the condition of your
body generally. Such diseases tuberculosis,
syphilis, typhoid fever general infection of the
body reflect themselves frequently in the back
Any Inflammation of the joints is likely TO be in
tensihed in joints Of the spine, and backache is the
common symptom.
A x-rsy Of the spine under such condition may

almost Immediately, we might
Say-a football hero. In his last
year he was captain.
Football was a big improvement
in those days. The flying wedge"
had been altered and the boys
were permitted to use it only
when it started five yards back of
the line of Scrimmage. 1t was
getting to be tame game.
Heze remembers the old days
well. He recalls that one of the
Shortridge teams was composed
of Johnny Shaw, Carl Gibbs,
Walter Spencer, Harry Wells,
Ward and Doug Dean, Hassan
Hall, Sandy Bosler and Dick
Tolan.
When Heze was captain, Short
ridge claimed the championship
of eight States Only one high
school team scored on the city
boys, Louisville Male, and that
score was % to 4, Shortridge.
That team was composed of
Charley Buser, Floyd Payne,
Nose Aaronson, Walter Gipe, Bill
Conner, Howard Shank, Chiffon
Johnson, Clarence Mckinney,
Dave Alderdice, and Ed Shane.
TTEZE CLARKS name still
l. Il stands on the first silver cup
Shortridge ever won-a cup for
relay race. His name also is on the
first silver basketball cup Short
ridge ever won.
His high school days over, Heze
went to Indiana university. He
played three years there and the
New York Sun named him all
America left half back in 1906.
Back to Indianapolis came Mr..
Clark. He went to Winona Tech,
where Technical now stands, to
take linotype course. He didn't
cotton to the idea and he took a
job as coach of the Marion Club,
which stood on the present site of
the present Telephone Company
building.
He coached there nine months
and then went to the Star as as
Sistant sports editor. Three months
of that and Heze went to Rose
Poly as football coach. He
worked on newspapers as a side
line and belonged to old Battery
A of the Indiana national guard.
In 1910 he was athletic director at
Rose Poly and at the close of the
football season went to West
Bremerton, Wash, where he pro-
NOTED boxing matches. He sent
to Te,re Haute for his girl
frienc'" nd they we're married in
Washington.
It'll be twenty-three years on
the 18th of April" says Heze.
And it might be the place right
here to mention that James w.
Clark, director of Red Cross life
saving in Marion county and

in that you fellows got there,
wasn't it? Remember coming past
those bushes? Well, sonny, there
was a gun that far from you when
you passed them bushes
Heze stared at Smiths fingers
outstretched to denote about
six inches. Heze mopped his
brow. He still does when he thinks
of the Barefoot Burglar
XXTHEN the war broke out,
w Heze was sent to the Great
Lakes naval training station,
where he was Y. M. C. A. athletic
director of the aviation regiment.
He was kept there until three
months after the armistice, re-
turned home, >and in 1923 went
hack to Rose Poly as athletic di-
rector In 1923 he resigned and
came back to his old job of police
reporter for The Times.
HeZe Clark looks back on an
interesting Indianapolis.
He remembers the street car
strike, the teamsters' strike, and
the flood of 1913. He was sitting
in the lobby of the Claypool when
word came that the Purdue train
had been wrecked. Heze rode out
on his bicycle.
Il never rode faster in my life.
Those -bike-racers nowadays would
have to go pretty fast to beat my
time that day"
Now, as we'll as collecting news
for The Times, Heze makes news.
He referees wrestling matches,
boxing matches, football games,
some basketball games, and he's
always good for one story month.
And" says Heze, putting out
his chest, I've broken in as many
police reporters as any one man
in Indianapolis"
You tell 'em, Heze.

you when you're chokin!"

Mrs. Heze Clark, zoos North Della

A FTER nine months in Wash
N ington, the Clarks headed
back to Terre Haute where Heze
became sports editor of the Terre
Haute Star and coach of foot
ball at Rose Poly.
Homesick, he came back to In
dianapolis to take job as federal
building reporter for the Indian
apolis Sun, predecessor of The
Times. Heze saw the start of the
Mcnamara "dynamiting" trials
and then went to the courthouse,
where Joseph Marley then was
judge of the criminal court.
When the chief police reporter
for the Sun became city editor,
Heze went to the police station
and until 1923 held that position
In those days, police reporters
covered the news of the town on
bicycles. 1t was little habit of
police reporters to steal the police
blotter, and Heze claims he learned
the trick of taking all the pictures
in a house from Ed Tut, then
reporter for the Star and now a
city detective.
II seems that Mr.. Tut started
the practice of taking all the pic
lures to prevent his opposition
from getting any of them. Mr..
Clark was a faithful disciple.
The big story of those early days
revolved around giant Negro

WELL. won't promise to be amused unless they
w come a lite funnier than that. 1 didn't even
rock with merriment at Mark SullivCnS contri-
button to the debate, which TO call Felix Frank
furter the happy hot dog" The funeral baked
meats of Herbert Hoover's administration did so
coldlv furnish forth the national veal that I'm
afraid the gag may fall quite fiat.
And vet I'm all for the debate. The American
Newspaper Guild will be glad to arrange proper
scene for the discussion. Professor Frankfurter
must be carrying his Vaccinations rather slyly,
since he has been exchange professor at Oxford
for several months. but I don't why Tugwel and
Smith alone should not be sufficient TO fill any hall.
But before the new deal is riddled something
lacking proper and sufficient clarity 1 would like
to have some definition of the familiar American
philosophy" to which Mark Sullivan is constantly
referring. Who qualities? Is it true that Mark
Hanna and Theodore Roosevelt fit neatly into the
classification, Woodrow Wilson and Harry
Daugherty? And what going to do about
classifying Andy Mellon, who has always seemed to
the worst secretary of the treasury since Alex
ander Hamilton?

However, startling trends in the

DY taking $50 falls a week and
- by destroying twenty EIGHT
straw hats, Roy Cummings, &C.
centric comedian now at the
Lyric, is able to keep the big bad
wolf away from his door.
For nearly eighteen years, Mr..
Cummings has been riding seem
enry, falling with it to the stage,
jumping and falling into the or
chestra pit and sliding over the
stage.
Such comedy work leaves him
black and blue after his days
work. These days with four shows
a day. it is necessary for him to
destroy four perfectly good hats a
Gay. and as he takes a minimum
of ten fails a performance, he
stages forty of those in a days
time.
He also tears up one white shirt
every performance, as we'll as a
tie.
Il buy my hats in dozen lots,
generally buying as high as four
dozen in every city play" Mr..
Cummings said as new supply
arrived in his dressing room here.
And I pay for them ALL" he
said. My wardrobe has cost me
a fortune since I have been doing
this act"
With sly wink, he added that
liniment, both external and in
ternal, has cost him a pretty
penny.
MIR. CUMMINGS has been in
N1 several editions OF The
Passing Show and other big
revues of the Shuberts and he
always has had TO ride the

his wardrobe.

to get away from doing those
things" he said The people ex-
pect me to do it, they laugh, and
laughs are what We are all out to
get.
When an audience stops laugh
ing at a comedian, he is done, all
washed up"
1t was the need of making peo-
pie laugh that caused the
comedian to introduce the fall for
comedy relief.
The people just didn't laugh at
my clean jokes and in despair I
told them they were killing me
and I jumped into. the orchestra

And that reminds that should in all kind

ton of Rexford Guy Tugwell signed Intrepid Home

To be specific might 1 ask the Republican Revere

Enters q NeU Villain

TN all fairness to the Herald Tribunes goblin editor
i must admit that ne has freshened his narrative
from time to time. Only this week he introduced a
new villain into the plot. 1t now seems that Pro-
fesSor Tugwell is not playing lone hand in his
effort to Sovietize America while Sullivan sleeps.
Some of the blame falls the head of Felix Frank
furter who has recommended several young men
who have received appointments under the admins
tration. Nearly all CT them are graduates Of Har-
ward Law School," adds Mark Sullivan ominouSy.
It must be- gather. that Roosevelt is Red since
ne has allied himself with so many wearers of the
Crimson.
