SILVER STAR HOME
ATTRACTS MANY
Georgia Colonial Dwelling
Enters Third Week of
Exhibition.

More people than could be taken
care of comfortably were attracted
last Sunday to the Silver Star Home
at 4849 Upton street, Westerleigh,
which tomorrow will enter the third
week of exhibition under sponsorship
of The Star.
The beautiful, moderately priced
dwelling of Georgia Colonial design,
which is the eighth house to receive
the Silver Star Award this year, re-
ceived high praise from the hundreds
of visitors that swarmed through its
doorway all day Sunday and continued
in goodly numbers throughout the
week.
The firm of w. C. g. A. N. Miller,
developers of Wesley Heights and
Spring Valley, built the latest Star
home as a part of their newest SUBJ
division, Westerleigh. Structural fea-
lures such as Stran steel framing
and concrete first and second floors
found in the larger and costlier Miller
homes in Spring Valley and Wesley
Heights have been incorporated in
the Star dwelling. In addition, many
of the more pretentious home appoint
ments appear in the Upton street
structure.
Utilitarian features tending to make
a house more liveable and to tighten
the burden of the ordinary home
chores are plentiful in the new house.
Tho boIISeu-ife'S uork is considerably
lessened by kitchen that includes
every modern convenience and the
general house plan that utilities high

tains gas fixtures, including a new

and we'll arranged, with an ample
amount of table and cabinet space.
The home is heated by an auto
matte gas burner. The walls are solidly
built and furred, the roof we'll in
sulated, which minimize the cost Of
the type of heating used.
Constructed of brick painted white,
with long frst-floor windows, and a
porch at either end, the home is set
deep on lot that is 10 by so feet
in size. The lot is wooded, and there
is ample space beside the house for a
garden. The grounds are attractively

When a person complains of pain, don't ridicule
him. don't ignore him. 1t may be quite serious.
Pain is a warning signal Of a physical disturbance,
although fear. anger. rage. anxiety, and despair may
modify 1t somewhat.
For example. the pain associated with a blow or
a knife wound differs from that associated with a
surgical operation. The pain associated with a Sc
we're illness differs from the difficulty Of breathing
that comes from too much exercise.
The pain from a sudden violent blow may be ac-
companied BY sensations Of anger or fear Of death.
The pain from a sudden severe attack Of collie Is
likely to be accompanied by a feeling Of anxiety. The
pain Of a toothache may produce simply a sense Of
suffering.
Another effect OF pain is to change our perception
Of time. It Is quite common to hear the sufferer
say that every minute seemed like an hour. A man
who was suspended by a live wire realized that the
duration Of the shock could not have been more
than g couple OF seconds. but it seemed to him ages
until he lost consciousness.
The doctor who undertakes to treat a patient be-
cause Of painful sensations must haYe a complete
understanding Of the nature OF the pain. If he Is to
do his best in overcoming it. He must treat not
only the physical condition responsible for the pain
but the associated mental factors.
1t is interesting TO see the ways in which differ
| emit people desribe pain. Some use terms relating to
A~ASA FN@AAo 'NAc
more intense pains, yellow and red, and dull head
aches a sense OF black. Pains also have been de-
scribed as lightning-like and shooting; others as
soft. dull, or blunt.
Physicians find that persons vary IN their ability
to describe their pains. Obviously, the doctor has
to depend first on what the patient tells him. to
learn about the place Of the pain. its nature, and its
intensity.
Doctors who take care OF babies must find out for
themselves whether the baby has pain. the nature
of the pain. and its intensity.
There is no exact method Of measuring the in
tensity OF pain. and the amount Of pain that may
cause one person to suffer excrutiatingly may hard
ly be noticed by another less sensitive person.
1t Is because Of the inability to measure pain as
it occurs in two different persons that it is difficult
to measure the effects Of various drugs and methods
OF treatment used to relieve pain.
We know that young people are more sensitive TO
pain than are older people. and most women are
more sensitive to pain than are men. People who are
delicately nurtured and who have been carefully
guarded during most of their lives suffer more from
pain than those who have been brought up under
less protective conditions.

THE CAMERON COUNTY
HEALTH UNIT

If there is one thing that stands out
clearly in the mass Of discussion concern
ing the proposed re-establishment of the
Cameron County Health unit, it is that the
question is purely economic, and is not
political.
Discussion of the proposal to date has
brought out two salient facts, first-that
without the activities of the unit the
danger of epidemics in the county has in
creased in alarming proportions, as wit
ness the spread of malaria in the county
during the past year and a half; and Sec
ond-that due to the depression, more and
more people are dependent upon the coun-
ty or some other governmental agency for
care and medicine in times of sickness.
The problem that faces Cameron coun-
ty is thus seen to be twofold.
Cameron county must take means to
curb the danger of epidemics. Specifical-
". Cameron county must Immediately
adopt some course of action that will lead
to preventative measures that will cut
down the number of cases of malaria in
this section.
At the same time, Cameron county
must prepare to bear the load of caring
for INDECENT sick, the number of which has
increased materially in the past two
years.
1t il not a question of a health unit or
no health unit.
Rather it is a question of combining
preventative action with curative action.
To attempt to put this question into
politics will be fatal.
Recognizing that Judge Dancy put the
establishment of a health unit in his
campaign platform, and recognizing that
the health unit has been a political foot
ball in previous campaigns, The Browns
vile Herald maintains that the question is
one of too serious import to remain in the
domain of politics.
This county cannot afford to let the i'm
preston gain foothold abroad that malaria
infests this region.
Neither can we afford not to care for
those of our population who are sick and
are unable to pay for proper medical at
tention and supplies.
The question is a serious one and should
be approached without prejudice, without
malice, without regard to political ambi-
tions.
And incidentally, while the immediate
problem under discussion affects only

FOR A UNIFIED FIGHT ON CRIME

A permanent national institute OF
~criminology, such as was suggested by the
attorney generals recent conference on
crime. ought to be an excellent means of
helping the cause of law enforcement
throughout the country.
Joseph b. keenan,, assistant attorney
general, pointed out that the criminal Is
helped greatly by the fact that each city
and each state is independent in its law
enforcement activities. Some method Of
coordinating their work must be found.
A national body which could tie federal,
state, and local crime-prevention and de-
lection agencies together would make the
task Of cracking down on the crook a
great deal easier.
With such a body in active existence, it
would not be necessary for federal agents
to chase a Dillinger for transporting a
stolen auto, when he was actually wanted
for murders and bank robberies.

looked upon the wild horses (mus-
tangs, of the Texas plains as eS-
pecially their property. They
hunted them mostly for sport. nd
cruise and the markets. But, in the
summer montha when the continu-
ally moving buffalo herds we're In

they often killed and ate the mus
tangs. In capturing wild horses,
Indians used a twisted rawhide
moose attached to a long pole.
DaShing alongside a drove, an In
dian would drop his moose over the
head OF a mustang and tighten the
loop by slightly lesSening the pace
OF the horse he was riding. When
the mustangs speed diminished
and he began TO waver from partial
suffocation. the Indian rider would
suddenly turn at right angles to the
course Of his prey and throw him
motionless and oftentimes ltfeless to
the ground. If the wild horse sur

ing the moose closely drawn, would
mount. ride and flog him to such
complete exhaustion that ever al
forwards he could be subdued by the
mere display Of a lasso like that
which had deprived him Of his free
dom. Such Ns the Indians way.
The other method OF capturing wild
horses was to drive Dr. decoy them
into specially constructed pens.
Noosed or lassoed mustangs were OF
little value. Penned ones, particu-
