—Dietz on Science— INSTINCT LEADS MAN TO SUN IN HEALTH SEARCH Biological Attraction Is Found Since Dawn of History. RV DAVID DIETZ Action* Howard Science Editor As the first day of summer approaches, the sun rules the scene. It rises early in the morning, climbs high into the sky at noon, and sets a’ a late hour. Summer is a season cf cheerfulness because it is a season of bright sunshine. Something within mankind responds to the call of the sun. It has been so since the earlv days of humanity. Perhaps theie is some deep-seated biological reason. Animals instinctively seek the sun for its health-giving rays. That same instinct, perhaps, lurks in mankind. No one knows how life originated upon this earth, but many aalhoiItir think it was the energy of sunlight which brought it into existence. They think that living matter originated in the tidal pools, the region along the edge of the seas where little pools of water are left behind by the recession of the tide. Scattered by Tide Here in the sands, they think, various mixtures of salts were left behind by the receding waters. One day. the proper combination of rhemjcal materials formed a thin film upon the sands, a mixture ot the kind which chemists call calloidal. The sun beat, down upon this colloidal film and it began to absorb the energy of sunlight. The sunlight turned the tiny colloidal globules into little bundles of activity and they floated away upon the reluming tide as the first globules of living matter. However life may have started, it rould not go on without the energy of sunlight. We are dependent upon the sun for our food and fuel, for plants can not grow without the energy of sunlight, and coal' and oil are only the fossil remains of plants which grew' millions of years ago. Earth Would Perish Were the sun to go out, the earth would be plunged into darkness, relieved only by the feeble light of the stars, for the moon, of course, ehines only by reflected sunlight. Within a few days, the temperature would be so low that all plant and animal life would be frozen t; death. Before many days, the ocean would be frozen solid, and soon after, the atmosphere itself would freeze, forming first a layer of liquid air upon the surface of the earth and then a layer of solid air. Man does not yet know- of all the effects which the sun has upon the earth and its life Scientists are only beginning to understand these things. Special Study Is Given Special study Is being given to sun spots and the effect which they have upon the earth. It has been known for a long time that magnetic storms which upset the compass and throw long-dis-lance telephone and telegraph lines out of order, are likely to occur when a large spot crosses the face of the sun. Sun spots also have an effect upon the aurora borealis or northern lights. It is known that sun snots occur in cycles, approximately o.even and one-half years in length and many scientists have attempted to find a connection between the tun spot l cycle and terestiai phenomenon. Dr. Harlan T. Stetson, director of the Perkins observatory, has shown a connection between sun spots and radio reception, radio conditions growing worse as sun spots increase and better as they decrease.

TTITOR A DAY~ BY BRUCE CATTON

than twenty years ago Norman An,cell wrote a book explaining that no nation could possibly gain anything by modern warfare. He immediately was derided as a visionary incompetent by his betters in every land; and his betters then got the world into anew ■war and proved that everything he had told them was the literal truth. Now he has written anew book, “From Chaos to Control," and it is a book which is very much worth reading in these troubled times. In it. he suggests that our chief trouble today is the failure of organized education to prepare modern democracies for the kind of complex, specialized world in which we are now living. Our great problem now. he says, is not to find a way out of economic disaster, but to get that way accepted by the ordinary man once It is rouncr. as an example, he remarks that every reputable economist long has insisted that there can be no recovery until reparations and war debts are forgotten and tariff walls are lowered. The experts agree, in other words, about what' our first steps must be—but we won't follow their advice. Eventually, he says, we must learn to look on political and economic problems as objectively as we now look on medical problems. If a plague threatens our town we do just what our doctors tell us to do, realizing that we can not save ourselves otherwise. But when economic disaster comes we will not listen to our experts. We prefer to stick to our own prejudices. Asa result, our civilization is on the very edge of an abyss. This enlightening book is offered by the Century Company at $2.

•OLD KENTUCKY HOME’ IS REAL THING TO HIM

George W. Heller (left) and August F. Herman

“My Old Kentucky Home” well could be the favorite song of August F. Herman of Louisville, guest at the home of George W. Heller, 1323 Nordyke avenue, the second time he has been away from Kentucky since he was born more than sixty years ago. Only sly work on the part of Mrs. Herman made the second trip possible. She packed her husband’s clothes in a suit case, slipped it into their automobile and inveigled him into taking a ride with her at the wheel. They crossed an Ohio river bridge into Indiana ?i a speed which madp it impossible for Herman to do anything but ride on. Twenty-five years ago he left Kentucky for the first time when he attended a baseball game in Cincinnati. . Herman for forty-four years was an employe of the Belknap Hardware and Manufacturing Company in Louisville. He w-as retired two years ago when grief over death of a son attracted attention of his employer. William Morris Bslknap. a Kentucky colonel. Mr. and Mrs. Herman are the parents of eleven children.

Contract Bridge

M'KENNEY Srrrrta*y American Bridce League WHILE w’e do not open with one no trump unless we hold a very strong hand in the constructive one over one system of contract bidding, this does not mean that we avoid the playing of a contract at no trump. You always should be on the alert to play a hand at no trump, but try to place the declaration in the proper hand. Before launching into a no trump contract, however, make sure that the hand has no holes, especially if you have a good playable major suit.

I w’as rather surprised in the following hand to see a number of players play this hand at hearts w’hen an easy game could be made at no trump. One pair, however, was successful in making four hearts for a top score on the board. That, however, does not make it the correct declaration—-it required a very fine errup play to make the four odd at hearts. The correct bidding on the hand

It will be necessary to lay off one club and the contract is in. To make four odd hearts, even w’ith a club opening, the declarer must at once proceed to ruff a club and then lead the ten of hearts, which East will cover with the jack and the declarer wall win with the queen. The natural play is for the declarer to lay down the ace of hearts, | West will discard a club and dummy a spade. This makes it look as though the declarer must lose one heart trick. However, the jack of diamonds can next be led, East will win with the queen and his best play is to return the eight of diamonds, w’hich will be won in dummy with the nine. Declarer now’ will return a small spade from dummy, w’hich East wins with the queen. East will cash ; his ace of spades and then lead a small spade on which the declarer i must discard his deuce of diamonds, winning the spade trick in dummy. He then can lead the ace of diaj monds, East will be forced to trump, declarer will over-trump and now can pick up the two remaining trumps. While this is a nicely played hand, the safer contract is three no trump. iCoDvriaht. 1933. bv NEA Service. Inc.) THREE FOR ONE—Special this week dnly.

Gray, following his release from jail on a contempt citation by Circuit Judge Arthur Van Duyn. Reports have been current here that Gray would hand in his resignation as the result of his'tilt with Van Duyn over an alleged shortage in the estate of Mrs. Margaret J.

Gray was committed to Hancock county jail Monday by Van Duyn on an indeterminate sentence for contempt of court, for Gray’s delay in filing a guardianship report following his removal by the court. Van Duyn said he had instructed Gray to file a report, after his attention was called to alleged irregularities in the Griffith accounts byrequest of Gray’s bondsmen for removal from their bond. This, the prosecutor refused to do, despite several intervening orders, Van Duyn said, so the contempt commitment was issued. Van Duyn said today that slightly more than S2OO w r as turned in with Gray's report, which was approved and was followed by canceling of the citation.
