Your Health
by DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN

THE craze for speed and more speed gives rise to
l. the question of how much of it living tissues
stand, without serious or fatal results.
Human hands guide automobiles moving over
Daytona Beach sands at more than 200 miles an
hour; arpanes that have attained speeds of 400 to
500 miles hour, and new types of Locomotives
that are setting records in cross-country runs.
Moreover We read constantly of speculation about
development of rocket types of vehicles which will
attain unheard-of Speeds such as 1000 miles an
hour.
What is the limit which human being can
stand?
Col. H. v Wurdemann of the United States Army
Medical Corps and Major Simpson of the Air Corps
point out that the extreme speed that be reached
by arplanes at level probably will be 600 miles
hour
TINE high droning sound of airplane is said to
i be caused by the contact with the air Of the
ends of the propellers which travel at the rate OF
1850 to 1900 miles an hour. once a tremendous
speed is attained, the impact the tissues of the
human body would be similar to this impact.
Living tissues not stand this strain and it
seems doubtful that human beings can safely stand
a speed of 800 miles an hour, and certainly not OF
1000 miles hour.
Col Wurdemann feels that some of the fatal
accidents that have occurred have been caused by
changes in the blood supply Of the brain, associated
with the pressure on the body involved In sudden
banking. Even momentary loss Of consciousness
might be sufficient to cause disaster to an air.
plane.
Medical authorities associated WIFI Ine HylHB
corps are convinced that speeds Of 500 to 1000 miles
an hour may be mechanically impossible in the
future but they equally convinced that it is very
doubtful whether human being will be able to
stand such speed.
THIS kind of speed straight ahead causes less
i effect than turning at the same clip Col. Bauer
of the United States Army Aviation Corps says that
it is Impossible for a human being to stand speed
of much more than 300 miles hour on sharp
turns.
Besides these theoretical considerations there are
the statements of competent ers who have reported
that in making rapid turns rapid descents, and
rapid acceeration in their flights, they suffer in
their bodies and in their senses, and at times lose
consciousness when submitted to these conditions.
Moreover, there seems to be good evidence that
the internal organs have been disocated from their
positions in some cases. A few pilots have been
found incapacitated from hemorrhageS into the
brain and abdomen. and hemorrhages into the back
of the eye in connection with attaining terrific speed
in descent or in making sudden turns.

STATE DRUG FIRMS
WIN LIQUOR FIGHT
Clause of Act Is Ruled
Unconstitutional.

Superior Judge Herbert E. Wilson
yesterday ruled as unconstitutional
that part of the 1885 liquor law
which prohibits wholesale druggists
from selling liquor to any retailers
but druggists.
He ruled that the law in that
section was discriminatory and had
no reasonable basis of fact for clas-
styling wholesale liquor dealers as
those who are wholesale druggists
and those who are not wholesale
druggists.
The action was brought against
the state by four wholesale drug
firms, Mooney Mueller Ward Co.,
and the Kiefer-Stewart Co. of IN
dianapolis, and the Fl. Wayne Drug
Co. and Charles Lieck & Co., Evans

There are two distinct naval
situations" a competent naval au-
thority told the writer. One is
strictly European. The other is
worldwide. Even if the fore
cast of Sir Samuel Hoare, British
Foreign Minister, proves correct,
and Britain'S deal with Germany
leads to general European
agreement. it would still not re-
lieve the world situation.
The naval impasse which led to
Japan'S denunciation of the
Washington Naval Treaty was
brought about by Japan herself.
She demanded parity with the
United States and Britain. Re
fused that parity, she denounced
all limitation. After next year
she will regain a free hand to
build as she pleaSes.
OUCH was the world situation
- when Great Britain got to-
gether with Germany, limiting the
German navy to IS per cent of
Britain's. And such it remains.

way between now and the end of
1886, a naval race involving the
