Prominent Figures in City’s Spring Social Season

/''vNCE upon a time God wanted to help and comfort a man who was very much alone. And the man was anxious to find God, and had, indeed, spent all his life looking for Him. But God could not reach him because the man was always either peering up through a telescope or down through a miscroscope, trying to see God. And God said: "If, instead of always trying to see Me, he would just be quiet a little and listen to-Me talking to him! If only he would put dowm his telescope and take up his telephone, we could become acquainted. For My word is near to him, even in his own heart, if only he will learn to listen, and heed, and obey its command.” We must learn to listen; it is one of the finest of all arts. For prayer is a two-way experience, not a monologue, but a dialogue. Asking is only one-half of it; listening for the answer is the other half. Said an old timer, "I will hear what the Lord will say in me.” and therein is a secret whereby men become truly wise. u a tt FOR many in our day prayer is an idle, empty thing. It is like talking over a telephone with no one at the other end of the line, talking out into the air where there is no one w r ho hears, no one w’ho cares. No wonder they ask the question, is there anybody there? Or does the silence give back only the echo of our own voice, and nothing else? Os old, it was said: "Be still, and know that I am God.” and that is ever the way of wisdom and of faith. We must learn to be still and listen even amid windy bawlers, noisy shriekers, and the din and roar of our days, and not mistake the noise for the voice. Not in the storm, but in the stillness, the prophet heard a voice strangely gentle. Everything is somehow the word of God, if we have ears to hear. If we know how to listen we may hear a whisper of that voice which will still be speaking when all the noises of the world have followed the feet that made them into silence. There is more wisdom in an hour of prayer than in all the philosophies made by men. (Copyright. 1933. by United Features Syndicate. Inc.i

CZAR MAY BE APPOINTED FOR U.S. RAIL LINES Executives Told That Move Has Approval of Roosevelt. By Vnittd Press CHICAGO, March 28 —A "czar" for the railroads will be appointed soon, it was rumored Friday as the meeting of the Association of Railway Executives ended. Such an official, it was said, would have powers similar to Will Hays of the motion pictures and Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis of baseball. He would be able to eliminate much competition which railroad men now blame for the condition of their lines, practically all of which are losing money. A committee headed by F. E. Williamson. president of the New York Central Lines, informed the executives of forty-nine railroads at the sessions that such a dictator was part of Persident Roosevelt's program for rehabilitation of the railroads. Might Name Board The administration, it was reported, was expected to act as soon as the pressing financial and farm relief problems were settled. Such a “czar” could be chosen by three means. The- federal government could appoint him. The railroads could designate someone person as manager-in-chief for all lines in the country with power of an arbitrator. Each of the three sections of the country in which transportation is unified—eastern, western, and southeastern—could appoint one man who would be a member of a board of dictators. Conferred With Roosevelt The committee which included Williamson. Carl Gray, president of the Union Pacific, and J. J. Pelley, president of the New York, New Haven & Hartford, conferred with President Roosevelt prior to the meetings here. The association passed a resolution giving the three power to represent them in further conferences with the President, the first of which is expected shortly. Co-Ordinators Discussed By l nited Press WASHINGTON. March 25. Chairman C. C. Dill of the senate interstate commerce committee said Friday that the railroad legislation being considered by the Roosevelt administration is tending toward a plan which would place all railroads under supervision of regional “coordinators.” President Roosevelt holds that the railroads must straighten out their own affairs before they can get further financial assistance from the federal government, Dill explained. The special railroad committee now working upon legislation inclines toward a grant of board authority to the President to handle this problem. Regional Plan Devised The association of raliway executives had devised a plan of regional systems. But the plan as worked out is not regarded with much favor by the special legislative committee, it was learned. The committee feels the plan fails to provide for sufficient economies. Joseph B. Eastman of the interstate commerce commission, has submitted another plan providing for government operation of railroads, with complete readjustment of rates and substantial government financial support. Under his plan, the government virtually | would guarantee railroad obligations. Legislation Is Approved Two basic pieces of railroad legislation, understood to have the approval of President Roosevelt, were reported favorably today by the house interstate and foreign commerce committee. One retroactively would repeal the so-called recapture clause of the interstate commerce act; the other provided for federal supervision of railroad holding companies. Under the recapture clause, the carriers are indebted to the federal government by more than $100,000,000 for excess profits. The provision I always has been contested by the railroads and has led to extensive and expensive litigation. Its repeal has been sought by the interstate commerce commission. Change Meeting Place Spencer Club will meet Tuesday with Mrs. A. H. Hepburn, 4906 Kenwood avenue, instead of at the home of Mrs. L. A. Beem as previously | arranged. Mrs. W. A. Pickens and , Mrs. W. E. Leapley will assist the ' hostess.

0. M. C,'S AIR FIRM MERGED; NEARER POWER Link With North American Aviation Step Closer to U. S. Dominance. By United rress NEW YORK, March 25.—General Aviation, Inc.—owned by the General Motors Corporation has moved a step closer to becoming one of the dominant factors in the nation’s air transportation business. Directors of General and North American Aviation, Inc., agreed to a plan whereby North American Aviation will acquire assets of General and the latter will have 43 per cent of the stock of North American. Stockholders will be summoned shortly to vote on the plan, but the chief stockholders already are understood to have agreed to it. North American thus will have the largest single interest in Western Air Express Corporation and Transcontinental Air Transport, Inc., operators of a great spiderweb of air lines extending between New York and the Pacific coast and through the Rocky mountain region. Eastern Air Included North American also will own: Eastern Air Transport, Inc. General Aviation Manufacturing Corporation. The B. J. Aircraft Corporation. The company also will have a substantial interest in the Douglas Aircraft Company, Inc. Under the plan, certain assets of the North American Corporation will be segregated into anew company, stock being issued through North American to the present stockholders. These assets include the company’s holdings in: Sperry Gyroscope Cos., Inc., of New York and London. Ford Instrument Cos., Inc. Founded by Fokker The Intercontinent Aviation, Inc., } of which North American owns 74.2 per cent. j Curtiss-Wright Corporation. General Aviation was founded by j Anthony Fokker in 1927, as the Fokker Aircraft Cos. It finally was taken over by the General Motors j Corporation and Fokker, famed ! Dutch air pioneer whose planes ] were used in the German army during the World war, remains on the j board in an advisory capacity. Its assets are about $8,000,000.

—Dietz Science SUN'S FAILURE WOULD LEAVE EARTH BARREN World's Existence Depends on Radiation of Heat and Light. BY DAVID DIET/. Scripps-Howard Science Editor For thirty years now. Dr. Charles G. Abbot-, secretary of the Smithsonian Institution of Washington, has been studying the sun in an attempt to solve the riddl° of the connection between the sun and the weather. It is apparent to every one that the earth is dependent upon the sun for its heat, as well as its light. If the sun's energy gave out, we would soon find ourselves in a world that was cold, as well as dark. As it grew colder, all the moisture in the earth’s atmosphere would fall in the form of snow, the world's last snowstorm. First the rivers and lakes, and then the oceans themselves, would freeze over. Finally, the very air would condense upon the earth's surface, forming first a layer of liquid air and then a layer of solid air. Ray Angle Is Factor The earth would be a gigantic snowball with the temperature of empty space, 459 degrees below zero, Fahrenheit, the temperature known to scientists as “absolute zero.” Many factors center into the determination of climate and weather. Three fundamental facts which condition the effect of the sun's rays upon the earth are the angle at which the earth is tilted on its axis, the rotation of the earth upon its axis and the orbital motion of the earth around the sun. The earth’s motions, coupled with its tilt, cause the seasons and the familiar temperature variations between day and night. The earth's rotation upon its axis also is thought responsible for the major movement of air currents in the atmosphere. Influences Daily Weather Weather at any definite spot on the earth’s surface is influenced by many factors, including proximity to bodies of water, ocean currents, mountains, and so on. But the world needs an answer to the question of the exact way in which the sun influences the weather day by day. It is this question which Dr. Abbot has made his major study. Thirty years ago he began his studies of the sun. Twenty-five years ago he began measurements of the solar radiation’, that is the amount of heat and light radiated by the sun. Energy Output Varies Dr. Abbot’s measurements and those made by his associates at the Smithsonian observing stations indicate that the sun’s output of energy vary slightly from day to day. In other words, the sun is a “variable star.” It is these variations, he believes, which are at the bottom of weather changes on earth. The story of Dr. Abbot's thirty years’ study of the sun is an important chapter in the history of American science. It is also a fascinating story. The first task which he undertook was the charting of the sun’s infrared spectrum, the “heat rainbow of the sun.” Next—The heat rainbow.
