TAXI ORDINANCE
DRAWS FIRE OF

New Legislation Unneces-
sary, Claims Edward
Strother of Union Cab.

Edward Strother, vice president of
the Union Cab Co., has mailed
Mayor Kern and City Council men,
bers a letter outlining his firms
stand on the pending taxicab ordi-
nance.
Three of the four taxicab COM
panies charge that adoption of the
ordinance will destroy their corpo-
rate identity. Mr.. Strother's letter
follows:
1--WE have prepared this statement
in order to make clear to everyone
who is interested, the attitude held
by the owners and officials OF the
Union Cab Co. regarding recent at
tempts to prepare and present to
the City Council of Indianapolis
new legislation.
Sees Bill As Harmful
Our position in relation to the
recently proposed ordinance, No. 81,
is identical with that of the Hoosier
and United Cab companies, who
have offered detailed studies Of this
ordinance pointing out their objec-
tions to each clause. We are opposed
to this ordinance, finding very much
that is harmful and destructive,
while being able to find very little
if anything that could logically be
expected to be constructive or bene-
fetal to the taXicab companies or
the public which they serve.
1--WE respectfully suggest that this
ordinance not be adopted as it was
offered originally.
I'VE do not recognize the need at
this time of any elaborate or ex-
tended legislation.
eve are convinced that with one
or two minor changes calculated to
permit us to secure our license on
the same basis that they were issued
in 1894, and to provide for proper
transfer thereof, the ordinance in
force during that year is quite suf-

The Coolidge examiner., 1935-12-13
BY ELMO SCOTT WATSON

%, 1860, was one of the
most fateful Christmases in the his
tory of the United States. On that
night 75 years ago little force of
soldiers stole quietly out of fort,
located on a sandy island outside an
Atlantic seaport, entered boats and
silently rOwed across the water to
the shelter of another fort in the
middle of the entrance to the har-
Dor. Although their commander had
a perfect right to lead his garrison
from one fOrtifcatiOn to the other,
The Coolidge examiner., 1935-12-13

Gen. Winfield Scott cOmmander-in-chief of the
United States army was also aware of the stu
alton and declared that the fort could be taken
by 500 men in "a hours. Both President Bu-
chanan and John B. Floyd, secretary of war,
were in state of uncertainty as to what course
to pursue in this crisis.
Their instructions to Anderson were to care
fully avoid any act which would needlesSly pro-
woke aggression and not, without necessity, to
take any position that could be construed into
the assumption of hostile attitude" They did,
however. direct him to hold possession OF the
forts in the harbor and if attacked, you are to
defend yourself to the last extremity. The small
ness of your force will not permit you, perhaps,
to occupy more than one of the three forts, but
an attack on or attempt to take possession of
either Of them, will be regarded as an act of
hostility, and you may then put your command
into either of them which you may deem most
proper to increase its power Of resistance You
are also authorized to take similar steps when
ever you have tangible evidence of design TO
proceed to a hostile act"
1t was that last sentence in his instructions
which gave Anderson the necessary latitude for
making the move which he did. According to a
contemporary historian: christmas day dawned
upon Major Anderson under these circumstances
and bound by these Instructions 1t may be sup
posed that he not in a festive mood; but,
whatever his apprehensions or his purposes, he
kept them to himself. :.
During the day. the wives and children of the
troops were sent away from the fort on the plea
that, as an attack might be made upon it, their
removal was necessary. Three small schOoners
were hired, and the few inhabitants of Sullivans
island saw them loaded, as they thought, with
beds, furniture, trunks and other luggage of that
kind.
about nine o'clock in the evening" the men
were ordered to hold themselves in marching
order, with knapsacks packed, ready to move at

Iodine in Goitre

IT HAS been definitely proven
l. that the use of iodine in the
ordinary table salt prevents
goitre among the inhabitants OF
districts where there is a lack of
iodine in the soil. This is known
as the simple form of goitre which
although embarrassing need not
cause the more severe symptoms of
nervousness, Indigestion, rapid heart
action or pressure symptoms which
interfere with breathing.
There has been some difference
of opinion among physicians as to
the use of iodine in those cases of
goitre where the great amount of
thyroid juice being manufactured
was actually poisoning the system
(tOXic goitre).
As you know the thyroid juice
acts like the draft of the furnace
making the tissues and organs work
fast and free. Doctor Grille, the
eminent Cleveland surgeon, speaks
of this juice as the oil that lubri-

Artificial "Radium" May
Change Cancer Treatmen1

Ont of the maze of scientific disl

StitutiOn of matter and the radioac1
tive metals comes a promise TO medi-
cine of a great contribution. The fa
nous Joljot team made the first step,
last January when they produced,
radioactive elements in the labora-
tory. Now with the help Of otherI
world-famous physicists they have
transmitted to such common elements
as aluminium, boron, and magnesium,
the power of radiOactivity. With
practically the same radiation as ra-
dunn these transmitted metals are
expected to be of immense valued
Their limited period of activity may|
entirely change the treatment of
cancer.
For a definite period of time they
radiate beneficial rays and then be-
come inert and harmless. Such q
characteristic may make direct appli-
cation to the diseased area possible
and it may be that the cost of such
treatment will be reduced

Growth of Gland.

However, when the thyroid gland
Dours out too much of this iodine

the gland must keep manufacturing
more and more of the juice to make
up for this leakage, and so it grows
larger and larger.
Drs. J. II. Means and Jacob Ler-
man, Boston, in the Journal of the
American Medical Association state
that, during the past seven years,
iodine has been given as a routine
in the Thyroid Clinic of the Massa-
chusetts General hospital, and in
some 575 cases its action has been
made a matter of careful study.

There seems to be tendency or

individuals should avoid those
things which cause the nose bleed

Now a little bleeding from the
nose cannot do any harm; In fact,
in cases of high blood pressure or

Just do what hospitals do, and the

Try "Home Remedies"

However, when it does not stop
soon the usual home remedies"
should be used. Head and shOul-
derS should be held erect, and
breathing should be done entirely
through the mouth. Apply ice to
back of neck or over the nose and
hold both hands above the head.
Pressing the bleeding side of the
nose against the central cartilage
or Septum for ten minutes is often
sufficient to stop the bleeding.
Pressing some absorbent cotton up
the nostril is usually a successful
method of treatment; in fact, it is
sometimes necessary to pack the
absorbent cotton to the very back
part of the nose, almost into the
throat. If the absorbent is dipped
In adrenalin it will be more etfec-
tive.
If these home measures do not
stop the bleeding it may be neces-
sary to call a physician who will
apply a styptic or completely plug
the nose.

to sustain and defend themselves in a strong,
sea-girt fortress for long time. What could
not be carried away was destroyed. Not keg
Of powder or a cartridge was left in the maga-
zine; the small arms and military supplies of
all kinds were removed the guns were spiked,
the gun-carriages burned, and the guns thus dis
mounted; partly finished additions and altera-
tons of the work were destroyed; the Flagstaff
was cut down; and nothing, in fact, was left un-
harmed but the round shot which were too heavy
to carry off, and which the spkng and dsmount-
ing of the guns had made useless
The dawn saw Major Anderson safely estab-
lished with his command in Fort Sumter secure
from immediate attack, though Fort NIoultrie was
occupied only by a cOrporaPs guard left there
to complete the work of destruction He saw
what responsibility he had assumed, and fully
appreciated the delicacy and the Importance of
the trust committed to him. Perhaps, if he could
have looked forward for three months and fore
seen all the consequences of his act during that
period, he would have remained at Fort MOultrie
until summoned to yield by force too great for
him to resist or until he received orders to yield
his post"
Although Anderson and his men must have real
lied the extreme gravity of the situation in
which this move had placed them this Christmas
or any of their fellOw-Americans, both North and
South, were to know for the next four years.
Despite the fact that South Carolina had seeded
from the Union and that other southern states
were ready to follow her lead there still
the possibility that the threatened war might be
averted. No doubt, in many church and in
many home, both North and South. during that
Christmas season 70 years ago, there were of
fered up prayers that the spirit of peace on
earth, good will to men, would prevail and save
the nation from the horrors of Il civil conflict.
But forces which no one seemingly could CON
troll at work in both the North and the
South TO push both sections forward to the hOO-
caust and in April 1861, the decisive step was
taken. 1t was taken at Fort Sumter and it was
the logical result of the events of that fateful
Christmas night 70 years ago. Gen. p T. Beaure-
gard commander of tpe Confederate forces in
Charleston called upon Major Anderson to sur
render Fort Sumter Anderson refused and the
Southern batteries opened fire BY the time an
other Christmas had come hundreds of American
boys had died and thousands more were to die
before the Christmas bells were to ring out again
their message of peace and goodwill over re
united nation.
