PROFESSOR BIDS MEN TO REGARD DAVID. SOLOMON Or. Thurman Rice Writes Article on Sex for Medical Book. “Kin* David and Kin* Solomon led very merry Uvea* They earh had many eonruhlnea and also many wives; Rat when old ace came creepinr on. With all Its oaips and qualms. Kin* Solomon wrote the nroverba. and David wrote the osalms. - ’ This bit of doggerel is used by Dr. Thurman B. Rice of the Indiana university medical school staff to point a moral in the current number of the state board of health bulletin. His moral is that civilized man’s views about sex should permit him, when he gets old, to “enjoy such endocrine adjustment as w'ill permit him to have a strictly objective Interest in it.” Subject of Dr. Rice’s article is “An Old Fool Talks.” In it he lays down three rules for keeping out of emotional tangles. Men Should Settle Down First he says that men should get over the ridiculous idea that his life should be devoted to constant love conquests, "if he is to escape the stigma of not being considered red-blooded.” This idea causes loose living among youths, breaking up of families among the middle-aged and absurdly disgraceful spectacles among old men, Dr. Rice declares. "Grandpa mortifies the family to death when he begins to get spry with the women,” the writer points out. Reprimands Women Commenting on the verse reprinted above, Dr. Pice has this to say: “Wise of Dave and Sol it was too! Asa matter of fact, it would have been a darned sight better for the royal family if they had begun sooner, and have saved a nasty scandal apiece.” This brings the doctor down to his second rule. Women should have a sensible sense of sex, he says, and the wrongful repression of this sense, in times past, has caused some to go to the other extreme today, the writer contends. Sex Appeal, Prudery Same ‘‘They are making themselves obnoxious with their never-ending ‘sex-appeal,’ with their wiggling hips and suggestive poses, with their ’lt,’ ” Dr. Rice continues. ‘‘One would think, if he reads women’s magazines, that the only function of a woman is to have beautiful hands, and to wear a passionately colored negligee. ‘‘We have in mind several such blonds and brunets whose skins we’d love to touch—with a barrel stave —believe it or not. “It may seem that the ‘lt’ ladies do not belong to the same category with the prudes, but we are inclined to think that they do. “Both are overresponding to sex—the one by screaming from the house tops that she knows nothing about such matters, and the other by never letting you forget it. Sex Is Important “A pestilence on both of ’em! For God's sake, women, forget about the extra petticoats and the powder and rouge. There are homes to be kept, babies to be raised, work to be done. “Sex is vital, it is important, but let’s not smear it all over our landscapes, our literature, our music, and our social relations. “If I had a wife that oozed sanctity, I’d have her embalmed and dressed in a snow white robe. "And if I had one that ogled me across the breakfast table Id bust her on the head with a chair before we got through with the grapefruit. May the saints preserve us.” Fidelity Vital Dr. Rice’s third rule calls for education in the proper function of sex to preserve the ideal of monogamous marriage and family life. Promiscuity he terms the "law of the jungle.” "Conjugal fidelity is the only foundation upon which a satisfactory home can be built,” Dr. Rice concludes. "Parenthood is the greatest privilege and the most impressive duty of every normal individual. Mutual consideration and respect is the only thing that can prop up a moonlight ecstasy and make it last till the kids are grown.” ROW ENDS IN TRAGEDY Negro Shoots Wife in Head: Then Kills Himself. A Negro woman is in a critical condition today at city hospital as result of a domestic tragedy in which her estranged husband shot her twice in the head, then killed himself. The woman is Mrs. Jessie Burden, 35, of 19 West Tenth street. She was allot twice in the head when she returned home Thursday night to find her husband, Leslie, 33, Negro, hiding in a closet and brandishing two guns. Mrs. Stella Goodall, a neighbor, was with Mrs. Burden at the time. She fled from the home when Burden threatened to shoot her. As the neighbor left Burden shot his wife twice then turned the gun on himself. He died instantly. BUREAU HEADS RENAMED H. L. Dithmer Re-Elected Head of Better Business Unit.

Stratosphere Planes to Try for 500 M. P. H. 10 Miles High

One Ship Ready in Berlin; Two Being Built in France. BY MINOTT SAUNDERS NEA Service Writer PARIS, Feb. 13. —Grotesque airplanes, like man-made comets, roaring at dizzy speeds through the lit-tle-known regions ten miles above the globe— Six-hour trips from Paris or Berlin to New YorkFlying, winged "submarines,” with daring pilots locked in hermeticallysealed cabins— It’s going to be a spectacular trans-Atlantic flying season, if plans of European aeronautical engineeers don’t go awry! For a three-cornered—or perhaps a four, five or six-cornered —internation race through the stratosphere is in the making, with almost every capital in Europe seemingly harboring a “mystery plane” ready to dare the rare upper atmosphere. German Ship Ready Many of the planes ar shrouded in secrecy which permits not even the names of their builders or pilots to be known. Other constructors, like the rivals Farman and Guerchais in Paris and another airplane manufacturer in Germany, partially have revealed their plans. Farman and Guerchais are speeding up final preparations in the ambition to be the first to conquer the stratosphere. Already built, in Berlin, is another plane with a hermetically sealed cockpit, oxygensupply chambers, an eighty-two-foot wingspread and a crude oil motor—and it’s said to be capable of flying 700 miles an hour at an altitude of ten miles. The two planes now nearing completion in Paris are similar in principle. They are monoplanes with exaggerated wing spans. The most unusual feature, however, is a sealed submarine-built cabin built of metal and strong enough to prevent it from bursting outward from the air within while the plane is riding in the thin stratospheric element. High Speed Possible The Guerchais machine has a wing fifty-five feet in spread and thick in construction, with the bracing in the interior. It has a 700horse power Lorraine motor and, under Gerchais’ calculations, should be able to fly at 50,000 feet at 300 miles an hour. The sealed cabin in the Guerchais machine is built of duralumin, like that used by Professor Auguste Piccard in his balloon flight. It will house the motor and two pilots, and will also contain highly sensitive instruments for scientific observations and safe flying when nothing can be seen. An "Elecro-Mecanique” compressor, subject to regulation from the cockpit, will be started, according to plans, at about 20,000 feet altitude and feed the engine as well as the men. Life in this cabin during flight will be much the same as that in a submarine, with oxygen tanks and a system for the absorbtion of carbon gases. Plane Built in Secret Henri Farman, pioneer aviator and one of the foremost constructors in France, is guarding the secrets of his stratosphere machine zealously. Outwardly it resembles the

famous Farman type of commercial machine, but has a wingspread of nearly sixty feet. The air-tight compartment is surmounted by five heavy radiators, three for air, one for oil and one for water. It will be driven by a 500-horse power motor and the apparatus in the cabin will pump sixty litres of warm air a minute. The plane is heavily constructed, but it is estimated that it should make between 400 and ’SOO miles an hour in the rarified air of the stratosphere. Use Variable Propellors Both Guerchais and Farman will use a propellor w r ith a variable pitch, or angle of attack on the air, which may be changed by the pilot during flight. Work on the Farman stratosphere plane has been going on for four years. “We shall net attempt anything sensational at first,” Farman said. “The machine, which should be ready in about two months, will be flown first at low altitudes and then higher by gradual stages. To Seek New Altitudes "We do r know what we shall do, but we hope for much. It may be considered as certain that the altitudes of from 50,000 to 60,000 feet wh?“’> machines of the present may reach will in time be greatly surpassed. “Theoretically, we ought to go very, very fast.

shall have to put on weight and this will cut down speed.” It is no secret, however, that Farman engineers figure that a normal speed of 120 miles an heur should develop into 500 an hour at from 70,000 to 90,000 feet altitude. On that basis, a stratosphere airplane should fly from Paris to Ne.v York in sir hours. ‘ASTROLOGISTS’RAIDED ‘Moon,’ Not Stars, Interested Five Nabbed in Dry Agents’ Foray.

HOOVER FANS FIRST SPARK IN 1932 CAMPAIGN Compares Lincoln’s Dilemma With Crisis Caused by Depression. BY PAUL R. MALLON United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.—President Hoover set off the spark of his own campaign for re-election in a nonpartisan Lincoln day address from the White House Friday night. Republican party leaders followed hi mwith less modest speeches at Lincoln day dinners from coast to coast. They laid down their tariff and other issues in true political style and—likening Hoover’s patience in the face of obstacles to that of Lincoln—called directly for his renomination. The Lincoln study from which the President spoke heard no sound of the applause that rose from Republican rallies at his remarks. The Microphone was placed on the same desk where tile Civil war President wrote his emancipation proclamation. Above it was a lifelike portrait of the immortal. Hoover confined his remarks to that theme. Faced Crisis "While we are in the midst of the difficulties of this day,” he said, “we may well entertain the feeling that history will record this period as one of the most difficult in its strains and stresses upon the timbers of the republic that has been experienced since Lincoln’s time. “There are enduring principles and national ideals to be preserved against the pressures of today. “The forces with which he are contending are far less tangible than those of Lincoln’s time. They are invisible forces, yet potent in their powers of destruction. We are engaged in a fight upon a hundred fronts just as positive, just as definite and requiring just as greatly the moral courage, the organized action, the unity of strength and the sense of devotion in every community as in war. Watson Talks “I am confident of the resources, the power and the courage of our people to triumph over any national difficulty. They are rallying to their responsibilties.” It was the first speech Hoover has made in a political background

since his candidacy was announced officially. Senate Floor Leader Watson followed the President, speaking from a Lincoln day dinner here. He analyzed the President’s record in office and said: ‘What President, save alone the sainted Lincoln ever was more maligned and misrepresented than the one who has just addressed us? And what President more than he who today sits in the loftiest seat of earth ever has been so traduced and aspersed? “No President’s name in the list has labored more earnestly. Or striven more honestly to lift the nation out of the slough of despondency into which it had been plunged by sheer force of conditions. “Yet no critic has risen to say that he would have pursued a different course or adopted a contrary policy had power to do so been committed to him.” Man, 85, Dies Aftet Fall By Times Special LAFAYETTE, Ind., Feb. 13.

Ralph Wilson Is Charged With Using Gas Pipe; in Stolen Car. • Alieged to have been in possession of a stolen car and having slugged a police officer, Ralph Wilson, 19, of 1927 West Twenty-eighth street, and Robert Hamilton, 19, of 440 West Thirtieth street, are held today on vagrancy counts. Patrolmen Emmett McCormick said he saw the youths prowling around automobiles parked near the Psnnsy gym on South State avenue. McCormick said when he questioned them about the car they were driving, Wilson obtained a section of gas pipe from the auto and struck him several times. The car, which had been reported stolen earlier in the night, is owned by W. R. White, 448 North Capitol avenue. Car Locks Broken Locks of other cars in the vicini y had been broken, McCormick charged. Nabbed as he was alleged to have been breaking into a car owned by H. F. Fallenworth, 1540 English avenue, parked near the Union station, Joe Brown, 24, Negro, of Henderson, Ky., was charged with larceny. Patrolman Ed Woollen said Brown had removed a door handle from the car. Tobacco Products Taken Theft of tobacco products, valued at $45, from the auto of J. A. Bordenkecker, 212 South Pennsylvania street, was reported to police today. The car was parked in the 300 block West New York street. Police today are seeking two Negro youths who escaped from a stolen car Friday night after a nearaccident at Thirty-eighth struct and Keystone avenue. M.

GERMANS ARMED MEDIEVAL WARS Exported Yew Bows Before Guns Were Used. By Science Service BERLIN, Feb. 13. —Germany did not have to wait for the Krupps to become great source of warlike weapons, it appears from a study in the German conservation journal, Naturkunde und Naturschutz. In the middle ages, when the stout yew bow was the standard “shootin' iron,” the land beyond the Rhine had an important export trade in bows. Even as late as the sixteenth century, well after the invention of gunpowder, a single firm in Nuremberg sold 600,000 of these weapons during a period of sixty years—an average of 10,000 bows a year. Many of the bows exported from Germany went to England, where in consequence of almost incessant warfare, both foreign and civil, the yew was exterminated as a source of good staves by the year 1500. The demand in Germany became so great that the supply was overcut, and, finally, even in the Alps the yew stood in danger of extermination. In one Bavarian district alone, 10,000 yews were cut down in the year 1588. In the following year further cutting of yews was forbidden in Bavaria by government edict. At present yews are being carefully preserved by German government agencies, and it is estimated that there now exist in the country something over 25,000 yew trees. HOUR PARKING LIMIT REVOKED IN BOSTON New System Allows Half Day on One Side of Street. Bj/ Science Service BOSTON. Feb. 13. One-hour parking regulations in this city have been abolished in favor of a more lenient limit which will enable a driver to park on most of the downtown streets without fear of getting a parking ticket. The new system allows a car to be parked for twelve hours. After that period, however, the driver must drive his car on the other side of the street, where it will be allowed to park for another twelve hours. The joker in this is that parking is permitted on only one side of the street, the outbound side in the morning, and the inbound at night.
