City Built Over Volcano Noted For Beauty, Suicides
Atami, Japan's fire- devastated "Atlantic City" now faced with a major reconstruction job, is literally a hot spot even in normal times.
This resort town by Sagami Bay, southwest of Tokyo and Yokohama, sits above the perennial subterranean fires of volcanic activity. Along with sea bathing, it offers the hot-bath addicts of Japan additional health and recreation facilities in the way of hot springs, medicinal waters, and steam vents.
One of the volcanic show spots there is the geyser O-yu, known as the "Great Hot Water." Until this region's disastrous earthquake in 1923, it spouted regularly in a roaring, hissing stream of hot water and steam. Today, only steam shoots forth, but the water that still boils up as far as the surface at this point is rated the hottest in Japan—226.4 degrees Fahrenheit.
There are a number of steamvents in the town and many of Atamil's 25,000 inhabitants find practical use for them in cooking and heating. Such volcanic helpfulness, however, is not always an unmixed blessing.
The 1923 earthquake which destroyed much of Yohohama and Tokyo, had its center near Atami at the bottom of the sea—a reminder that the city's name comes from Atsu-umi, meaning "hot sea."
At the time, the floor of Sagami Bay sank 960 feet; the land tilt affected the whole surrounding area, and soundings along the shores
In a gentler mood, nature has given Atami the setting of a floral fairyland. Its rich volcanic soil and balmy climate promote the luxuriant growth of bright flowers, orange groves, and camphor trees. The early-blooming cherry blossoms and the plum garden with more than 3,000 trees, have made the spring season there a favorite vacation time for many Japanese and foreign visitors.
changed in places from 300 to 1,200 feet.
So romantically beautiful are the seacapes around Atami that this region has become notorious for its appeal to unhappy lovers tempted by the traditional Japanese suicide pla. Along Brocade beach, where blue waters churn over coral reefs, and grotesque grottoes and caves form a sinister background, as many as a dozen young couples have embraced death within a single month.
The waters off Atami provide the area with its chief industry, fishing. A professional watcher blows a big shell horn whenever he spots a school of deep-sea fish entering the bay, as a warning to fishermen to place their nets.
Other activities for which the town is noted include the manufacture of wooden articles, candied fruits, and a special kind of paper called "wild - goose - skin." The paper-making fiber, mixed with silk from wild silk worms, also is woven into cloth for handbags, scarfs, and various coverings.

Hanover, N. H—(U.K.)—When 4-000,000 board feet of lumber was harvested from the Dartmouth College land grant, undergraduates hopefully noted that the yield would provide enough planks to build a 110-mile boardwalk to Smith, a girl's college at Northhampton, Mass. Unromantic college officials ordered the lumber sold to furniture dealers to finance Dartmouth scholarships however.

L.S.U. Conducts Poll To Find Cause And Cure Of Headaches
New Orleans—(U.P.)-The Louisiana State medical school is trying to tame headaches with pencil and paper and a mechanical calculator
The L.S.C. amends a headache census on forms that can be used as a calculator among employees of New Orleans business houses and industries. Dr. Henry Ogden, who is making the census, said he hopes to get enough information to correlate the factors common to headache sufferers.
The survey form asks some 200 questions, 100 of them related to headaches alone, and the others to vital statistics, occupation, marital status, medical history, physical condition, allergies, education, and other personal information.
Dr. Ogden said a lot of manhours are lost in industry and business because of headaches, and that if he gets enough data it "may be of tremendous value in the management of headaches."
Two Types Listed
He wants to find out what causes leachades, who is most likely to save them and how frequently leachades plague people in various occupations.
Headaches generally are in one of two classifications, he said, vascular and non-vascular. Vascular headaches are caused by swelling arteries in the cranium, which causes painful pressure on the brain. Non-vascular headaches can be caused by such things as eye strain, and apparently are not so much of a problem as the vascular type.
The vascular group includes migraine headaches and those caused by allergies, infections and tension.
Dr. Ogden said they are best treated by special drugs, perscribed by physician, which reduce the arterial swelling, Ordinary pain-killing drugs have little or no effect on them he said.
The L.S.U. allergy specialist said that to make his survey scientifically valid, he needs 100 per cent co-operation from individual business and industry groups polled and must have reports from people who never have headaches, as well as from sufferers.
