Commissioners Again Defer Ac
tion on Zoning Ordinance;
Paving Protests
city commission In weekly tea*
elon at the city hall on Tuesday morn
•ns. approved the sale of $100,000 worth
of street Improvement bonds to Cald
well and Company, of Nashville, Ten
nessee, at 101.0S and accrued Interest to
date of delivery. The bonds are to be
retired July 1, 1JI6.
Proceeds from sale of the bonds will
be part payment on paving projects
which have been authorized by the com
mission, and upon which construction
Is to begin at an early date. The ap
proximate cost of the projects, which
include numerous roadways and side
walk pavings and sewerage systems, '*
$116,000. Bonds to pay the remaining
cost will be lsfued upon their comple
tion.
The commission again postponed ac
tion on the zoning ordinance, although
It was stated that Its provisions are be
ing observed In the matter of Issuing
building permits. J. W. Abercrombie,
■who applied Saturday for a permit to
erect a store at Ripley and Washington
streets, was denied the permit because
of the proposed location being In the
business district of the city. Mr. Aber
crombie must obtain the consent ol
property owners for 800 feet In each
direction before a permit will be Issued
for erection of the store.
Protests to paving roadways of North
McDonough street between Dexter
avenue and the Central of Georgia right
of way) North Hull street between Dex
ter avenue and Pollard street; South
street from Court to Hull street; and
sidewalks on Lake and Cedar street,
were heard by the commmlsslon. The
protests were carried over until the
meeting to be held June IT for final
consideration. The protesting delega
tion of property owners contended the
enhancement In value of their property
would not be commensurate with the
coat of paving.
No protests were heard on Decatur
Street paving from Dexter avenue to
the Central of Georgia railroad right of
way, although that project will not re
ceive final consideration until the next
meeting.
The city commission uthorlz'ed the
Western Railroad to proceed with con
struction of a spur railroad track on
Jones street to the W. and W. Pickle
and Canning factory,

Burton Frequently Cheered During
Keynote Address at Repub Meeting
CLEVELAND, O., June 10—The key
note address of the republican national
convention was delivered this morning
by Theodore E. Burton, temporary
chairman of the convention. Mr. Bur
ton was frequently interrupted by
cheers and applause.'
Mr. Button moved about a bit dur
ing his delivery and at some times got
away from the microphone which was
carrying out by radio to many millions
of listeners the proceedings of the
convention. If any one missed some of
the speech It was not static, rather
It was Burton. There was applause
when the chairman referred to the par
ticipation of the women In the conven
tion but It seemed to come especially
from the women.
Mr. Burton proceeded alternately
reading from his manuscript atyl then
speaking extemporaneously iC-a rate
which indicated that It would take him
an hour and a half or a little less to
complete his address. Applause punc
tuated his remarks. There' was one
burst when the chairman said It was
to be regretted that the president was
not given time to take up the matter
of Japanese exclusion by diplomatic
negotiation before the exclusion act
was passed.
The frlst prolonged cheering and ap
plause came when the chairman de
clared "the republican party stands
now as always, for ldw enforcement."
The statement plainly was construed
by the convention as referring to the
enforcement of the prohibition laws.
Another burst of applause followed
the chairman’s reference to an antl
lynchlng law. #
Refers To Shoals,
Mr. Burton drew more applause In
his remarks concerning conservation
of natural resources. He did not mo
tion Muscle Shoals nor Henry Ford by
name, but he did say "no hundred
franchises should be given." The dije
gates got the point and applauded.
There was more prolonged applause
and cheering when the chairman, re
ferring to the recent congressional In
vestigations at Washington condemned
in strong terms character aseifs.slna
tlon. rumor monger and the like. Guilt
he said should be punished and thal
It was Important that the Innocent
should be protected. He disclaimed any
reflection of any Investigator seeking
to expose crime In good faith. His dec
laration that the republican party
Btood firm "as a rock,." for punishment
of the guilty regardless of party,
brought more applause.
There were more cheers for tho
chairman’s declaration for party soli
darity and his call for a republican
.—. I
congress "made up of mtmbeit triad
and trua who will ptand united.”
That brought out tha first 'real
demonstration of tha aassloh. Delegates
rose to their feet cheering and waving
hats and handkerchiefs.
Many of them turhed to tha Wis
consin delegation where the LaFollette
delegates remained silent without tak
ing part In the demonstration. Thera
were cries of “stand up Wisconsin."
and one delegate stood up. The
demonstration subsided when Mr.
Burton went ahead with his speech.
The first mention of President Cool
Idge'a name brought out a new demon
stration ' which approached the fervor
In the previous one. Speaker GIllstL of
l-assachusetts sprang to his feet and
Senator Lodge rose beside hilti
Confidence la Ceolldgn.
The demonstration subsided In n mo
ment but was renewed when the chair
man declared "the people have con
fidence in Calvin Coolldge" and his
further Statement that "others mav
have lost their nerve; Calvin Coolldge
has not lost hia"
When the chairman speaking of the
league of nations declsred "It Is' not
for us" there was another outburst of
applause and more applause when he
caid he Judged the sentiment people
was against cancellation at foreign
debts
Itevlewfng the reparations tangle
and efforts to settle It. the chairman
mentioned twice the name of'Charles
G. Dawes and paused once to give t.ha
Dawes boomers a chance to demon
strate a little for their vice-president
ial candidate. Either the Dawes jnen
missed the poln* or thev Were not
ready, because the name of Dawes
passed over without applause or
demonstration.
Chairman Burton finished just after
1 o’clock, having spoken an hour und
a half and the convention responded
with a demonstration of applause and
prolonged cheers to his prediction of
party victory In November.

YOUR HEALTH
BY DR. ROYAL 8. COPELAND
Parmer Commissioner of Health
New York City
V. 8. Seaator from New Yerk
Why do you have headache?
Have you cured youraelf when you
have taken eofte kind of painkiller and
stopped the headache?
Buppose you discover a fire In the
room opening: out of yours—have you
put the fire out by shutting the door
ao you can’t see it?
Persons who are sane, sensible and
even remarkably intelligent, show an.
joying lack of sense in dealing with
headaches. They appear to gjve no
thought of the essential causes. Mak
ing no effort whatever to remove the
primary trouble, they resort to drugs,
covering up the symptoms which are
nothing less than nature's warning
that something fundamental la wrong.
I cannot tell you today about all
the forms and causes of headaches.
If I did It would fill this ehtlre news,
paper. But let us consider a few.
You may have awakened this morn
ing with a dull ache In the back of
your head or neck and possibly with
soreness in the eyeballs. What la
wrong?
It all depends on what you did last
nlghV If you were out till after
midnight, breathing bad air and tak.
lng unneeded 'refreshment#, ws don’t
need to discuss the matter. You
[ know as well as I do What Is wrong. ;
But perhaps you retired early and
read In bed for a couple of hours.
If this Is the case It Is easy to de
cide why you have headache. It
comes from eyestrain.
This does not determine that you
need glasses. Y'our eyes may be
normal In sight and function, but the
light you used last night may have
been Insufficient or wrongly placed.
Unless the page of your book Is prop,
erly Illuminated reading will require
an effort and the strain on your eyes
may pause headache.
Many night lamps are too bright
and tob Illuminating. The over
brightness irritates the retina of the
eye. producing congestion and some,
times headache.
Tilting the neck may compress the
large bloodvessels, Interfering with
the circulation of the brain. Reading
in this cramped position may result In
headache, the next morning.
More likely, however, the headache.
If it comes from eyestrain, Is due to
the need of glasses, or of a change In
lenses, if you already have glasses.
Another time I will tell you about
other causes for headaches. I must
not stop without saying this much,
however—most headaches are due to
the absorption of poisons.
These poisons may be products of
the body from constipation, fermenta
tion or Indigestion. They may come
from Imperfect kidney or liver action.
They may be due to excessive use of
coffee, tea or tobacco. Or absorption
of pus from teeth, tonsils, nasal sin.
uses, a running ear. or hidden ab
scess. rWay be the exciting cause.
Be warned by the headache anu
find Its cause.
