WILLIAM BRADY. Trainsickness Is neither as fashionable nor as dreadful as seasickness, I gather. For the prevention and relief of seasickness there are as many sovereign remedies as there are doctors and victims, but the paucity of authoritative information on trainsickness in medical literature is remarkable enough to make one wonder whether trainsickness really happens. In passing (which we had better do as soon as we can) I suppose I ought to report how the vote now stands on my own pet way of preventing seasckness.

I wish I could work up a little enthusiasm about It, but I don't know; we'll have to have some more votes before we can decide whether my method is worth bothering with.

Thirty-five correspondents report favorably but say the treatment did not entirely prevent trouble; they think it saved them from the more severe sickness that fellow passengers suffered. Forty-one correspondents report that the treatment failed to prevent seasickness, though many of these say they followed the directions only partially. Within the year a new treatment has gained adherents. It consists of a dose of from three to five grains of sodium nitrite by mouth every two hours until relief is experienced. Avoiding Fata Helpful.

Another novel seasickness remedy or prevention is suggested by a ship surgeon, who believes that passengers will more likely escape seasickness if they can be Induced to eat liberally of fresh fruit and the carbohydrates generally and avoid fat3. He even gives dextrose (a sugar) by Injection into the veins and otherwise as a remedy for seasickness.

The Judean Drama Guild is regarded a great forward step in the history of the Yeddish drama on the English stage, and the leaders Include some of the most distinguished Jews in New York. The advisory board consists of Daniel Frohman, Lee Shubert, Louis Bernstein, Rabbi Samuel Rabinowits, Rabbi Louis D. Gross and Albert Von Tilzer.

Hyman Adler is president of the Guild; Mitchel Kaufman, publisher, is vice-president; Max Thomashefsky, business manager, and Charles Braun-hut, attorney, treasurer and secretary. The Judean Drama Guild, created for the advancement of the Jewish drama on the English stage, will present six plays during the coming season. Ansky's "The Devil's Sabbath," dramatized by Charlotte E. Wells, is the Initial production and is scheduled for October. It is be cause of the volume of support, the fact that the motive for the formation of the Guild is a genuine desire to advance the drama, that the first offering will set a new high record in spectacular dramatic production.

This physician asks why we should try to suppress this equilibrium reflex by sedative drugs. This seems sensible. It is true that seasickness remedies of the sedative class are of little avail unless they actually Induce sleep. Will Mail Details.

My own method still seems good to me. I'll gladly give full details and directions to any correspondent who asks for it and incloses stamped envelope bearing his address. There are no strings on this offer, though I hope folks who try my method will be good enough to report to me later what the results were. Trainsickness, as I experienced it, Is Just a darn mean feeling, the makings of a headache and a tremendous squeamishness about the esophagus, if you know where it Is. The seizure comes on after some hours of riding, and It Is a misery, all right.

Makes one wonder what grudge Mr. Pullman had against the world or whether he was ever forced to sit 10 hours or toss that long In one of his chairs or bunks. But finally comes sundown, and with It blessed surcease. No, it is the coming of twilight that does the business, not the dinner. I've tested this carefully and repeatedly and I know that the trainsickness steals away with the bright sunlight, whether one eats at this time or not.

Passing Objects Cause. I have a mere theory that this trainsickness, if there is such an entity. Is due to the intense strain on accommodation from the rush of features past the windows. One can't help focusing on these rapidly moving objects, or trying to, if one is awake. And this is especially so if there Is bright sunlight on the whirling panorama.

You may try to regard the more slowly changing horizon, which is comparatively restful; but you can't ignore the rush of things across the foreground, not unless you surround yourself with a special screen to cut off the foreground from your view. When the sun sets and early dusk arrives, this animated foreground fades into a neutral grayish border which bothers your accommodation little or none at all. Soon after the accommodation is put at rest (comparatively speaking! the distress ceases. So I believe that if car windows were a fcot higher than they are, or car seats a foot lower, one might rids a day or two, if not exactly In comfort, at any rate without suffering tralnsickreS. Not Eyestrain.

Some persons tuffer a similar sickness even when riding In street ear, subway or elevated, bus or private automobile. I believe the cause is the same in all cases. It is Although Pontiac value has been world-famous ever since the first Pontiac appeared in 1926, it has remained for the Pontiac Big Six to prove the greatest value of them all. This is true for a perfectly obvious reason the Pontiac Big Six -was the first to introduce the "big car" idea into the low-priced field. BIG CAR PERFORMANCE based on the greatest combination of big car features ever offered at or near $745! BIG CAR BEAUTY achieved by modish new Fisher bodies in a variety of colors and smartened by the exclusive concave belt molding and flaring 70-inch fenders I BIG CAR COMFORT due to roomy interiors, adjustable driver's scat and full length springs! BIG RELIABILITY made possible by engineering dvanccments which definitely assure depend-ible performance and eliminate any necessity for frequent adjustments or repairs! In other BIG CAR VALUE and yet you save in every way when you buy a Pontiac Big Six! raise a laugn; at aress renearsai -ne was as funny as the much-quoted "carriage filled with flowers." The director was In dismay.

He took Jimmle aside and told him If he didn't Improve his acting and register on the opening night, the per IN MAINTENANCE Yesterday's Puzzle Answer formance would be ruined and that Never before has there been a buying opportunity such an the Pontine Dig Six afTonls today. No other six at or near its price gives you so many big ear features to enjoy.

A small down payment and a few dollars a month take care of the hal anee.

Bring in your ear and get oar appraisal. According to the record of a large public utilities company which operated 9 automobiles of 33 different makes during 1928, Ton-Use costs one cent per mile less to own and drive than any other low-priced six. The average car is driven 10,000 mile per year. On this basis Pontiac SU'costa 100 less per year to own, which Is just like saving $100 when yon buy! he would be out of a Job on the morrow. Jimmte begged him to wait until he had his chance with a real audience.

It is a matter of record that on the first night of "Rio Rita's" present tour, Jimmle Lee literally "stopped the show," not once, but many times. Lines which had formerly been but normally funny became chief laugh producers. His appearance, voice, style, poise and everything changed the moment the curtain was up, and at one Juncture he was literally forced to make a speech and thank the audience. His best friends were amazed at his performance, and many think that he was actually embarrassed at his for waiting In obscurity 14 years is not IN OPERATING COST i-ii-i 7-s CROSS-WORD PUZZLE Pontiac costs lea to drive because its automatic spark control assurra highest engine efficiency because the C-M-R cylinder bead promote high compression operation using ordinary gasoline because it crankcase ventilating system maintains the quality of engine oil over longrr periods because the cross-flow radiator eliminates losses of alcohol in whiter because its special non-mpie-uk brake linings frequently serve for more than 30,000 miles without replacement.

This gives great relief and promptly. The relief cannot be ascribed to the mere sedative or soothing effect of the bath. It is due to the change of the r-tlent's environment, in such salt water bath the body almost floaLs, being supported lightly by contact here and there with the tub. The tubsltself shares the rolling and pitching of the ship, but the water In it keeps Its level. It appears slant this way and that as the ship roll, but a spirit level floating in the tub proves that the water in the tub remains level.

Mustn't See Movement. The patient must not see the apparent oscillation of the water In the tub a bandage over the eyes prevent this. Voluntary shutting of the eyes is not enough, for in same cases vertigo is increased by the effort of closing the eyes. I do not understand this last but then It is evident I have never suffered the Jolly old mal de mer. I am eloquently Informed by people who have had it that closing the eyes is a horribly painful effort; or if one is caught with the eyes closed, then It is Just as bad to open them.

But I have hid trainsickness and I know how it feels to have the conductor come blithely demanding one's ticket and credentials for the steen-teenth time when one Is not feeling at all like digging them out again.
