—Dietz on Science — EARTH SWINGS IN SIX-LAYER OCEAN OF AIR Both Animal and Vegetable Life Depend Upon Atmosphere. BY DAVID DIETZ Srripyt-Howard Selene* editor We live at the bottom of an ocean. Ordinarily we forget this fact But when we come to study the weather, we are reminded of It. We walk around on the bottom of the oceans of water. And when we ride in airplanes or airships we are swimming in the ocean of air Just as fish swim In the oceans of water. Our weather is the result of currents and shifting conditions In this ocean of air. And, of course, life itself is possible because of this ocean Life requires the oxygen In the atmosphere. But if the atmosphere were pure oxygen, life would not last very long. If we breathed an atmosphere of pure oxygen, it w-ould increase the chemical activities of our bodies to a point w’here we could not survive Fortunately, the atmosphere is only about one-fifth oxygen. The remainder is chiefly nitrogen, an inert gas which takes no direct part in the chemical activities which are associated with breathing. But the other constituents of the atmosphere have their roles in the scheme of life. Plants require the carbon dioxide which is in the atmosphere. Plants also require the nitrogen, but they can not use it in its pure form It is available to them only after certain bacteria, the so-called nitrogen - fixing bacteria, have changed it into soluble salts which the roots of plants can absorb from the soil. Pull Saves Air The force of gravitation is responsible for the earth retaining an atmosphere. The tendency of the molecules of gas w-hich compose the atmospnere is to fly off into space. This tendency is counteracted by the earth's gravitational pull. The atmosphere is densest closest to the earth's surface. As one ascends into it. it grows thinner and thinner. If the atmosphere had a uniform density from top to bottom, it would extend only to a height of five miles above the earth’s surface. At a height of thirty miles, the air is only one-hundredth as dense as it is at the earth's surface. At a height of fifty miles, the atmosphere has become so thin that it does not exert any appreciable pressure. There is some air at this height, however, as is proved by the refraction or bending of the sun's rays, and by the fact that meteors or “shooting stars’’ become visible at this height. Just how far the atmomsphere does extend is a matter of opinion. Some authorities think that there may be slight traces of air at a height of 200 miles. Dr Willis Luther Moore, former chief of the United States weather bureau, is of the opinion that the atmosphere gives out at a height of about 100 miles. Meteorologists are very much interested in studying the upper reaches of the earth's atmosphere, because they think that many of the weather conditions at the surface are the result of what is going on at high altitudes. Six Atmospheric Layers Meteorologists divide the earth's atmosphere into six layers, or to state it more technically, into six concentric ‘'atmospheres.’’ The innermost layer, the one next to the surface of the earth, is called the troposphere. It extends up to a height of about six miles. t The second layer is called the stratosphere. It is sometimes called the isothermal layer because its temperature is everywhere and at all times the same, about 100 degrees below zero on the Fahrenheit thermometer. The third layer is at a height of about thirty-six miles. It is known as the meteoric region because meteors become visible in this layer. The fourth layer is at a height of about fifty miles. It is called the Kennedv-Heaviside layer, in honor of the two scientists who advanced theories about its behavior. Radio fans are familiar with it. It is the layer of electrified or ionized air which acts as a "ceiling - to reflect radio waves. The fifth layer is known as the auroral layer It is extremely thin and extends upward from a height of sixty miles The auroral displays are thought to occur in this layer. Some authorities place a sixth layer beyond the auroral layer It has been culled the empyrean layer, and gradually trails off into the emptiness of outer space.

Aug. 19—a “Thin Blue Line." with ‘Teddy” Roosevelt charging valorously somewhere near its head, swept up Snn Juan hill against accurate Spanish Mauser fire and the worse odds of gargantuan General Shafter's staff blunders Victory! On the seaward side beyond Santiago de Cuba. Admiral Cervera ventured to run the blockade for a strategic dash down the coast to Cienfuegos. His men-of-

war were the pride of all Spain, but Sampson and Schley promptly shelled them to the bottom of the beach. This took place in the first week of July. 1898. We had declared war for Cuba s liberation in April. On May 1, Dewey, in far Manila, had riddled Spain’s Asiatic fleet. Nothing but victories. By midAugust. Spain, weary, half-starved and impoverished, had been harried out of the last of the colonial possessions that went to make up the sixteenth century’s most splendid empire. , Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Philippines had fallen to the casually trained, scandalously fed. but straight-shooting Americans. In the jungles surrounding Santiago—an ancient city incased by mountains toward the easterly end of Cuba’s southern coast—the "boys in blue" romantically sang the national anthem as the Stars and Stripes appeared over enemy positions. When the Invalided expeditionary forces reached Montauk Point, L. 1., later in the summer, such as had survived shrapnel, the Mausers, yellow fever. "Alger” beef and incredibly bad sanitary provisions, roared ‘'There'll Bea Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight.” In retrospect, as the Rough Rider “Teddy" dickered with Boss Platt for the Republican nomination for Governor, the Cuban adventure appeared a lively summer's outing. On Broadway. Dewey. Schley, Hobson and divers "boys in blue” were heroes. Statesmen, clergy, editors piously thanked providence that we expeditiously had so routed the Spanish tyrant. a a a ONLY Colonel Bryan, the commoner, bereft of the silver Issue by the cyanide of potassium treatment of gold ore and the Klondike discoveries, sulked in his tent. In 1900 he would be urging self-denial on an America suddenly turned expansionist. Thus lightly did the country enter its second, and overseas, phase of imperialism. Cuba, constructively, was free, although General Shatter, gouty, inept and a burden to any horse with his 300 pounds, blatherskited insurgent generals, worn by three years of honorable warfare, when they attempted to enter Santiago with the Americans. The lone star flag of Cuba flew over fortified cities for the first time since 1512. but Cuban patriots were disarmed by contemptuous Americans. Cuba was free of Madrid, the hated Cgptains-General, "Butcher Weyler; the "reconcentrado” camps were disbanded and the pitiful, brutalized remnants of the impiisoned peasantry returned to their ruined valleys. Cuba Libre had exchanged the iron rule of the grandees for a lighter, but no less tangible, rein. The centuries of stark despotism had come to an end; the era of tutelage from abroad had begun. From being a possession, Cuba had become a dependency. a a a FOR the United States the southward march of empire which had embraced the Floridas. Texas and the southwest again had been resumed. Cuba, the Gibraltar plugging the Gulf of Mexico, the strategic island standing athwart America’s access to any Isthmian canal to the Pacific, had been coveted for nearly three-quarters of a century by Americans. First, Jefferson, in 1807. hoping that in the event of war with Spain. Cuba might join and pledging his influence to mark ”ne plus ultra" on the island’s southern shores as the southerly limits of our expansion. Then John C. Calhoun, urging on John Quincy Adams’ cabinet when Cuban agents sought annexation that we "take the goods the gods provide us." Slave state senators honed for Cuba's partition from Spain and admission to statehood as an offset to the entrance of free states in the Missouri valley. In all times, as Elihu Root pointed out in recommending the Piatt amendment to the reluctant Cuban constitutional convention, the American government had held steadfast to the principle that no strong European power could establish itself in Cuba without conflict with us. a a a ** TEF’FERSON and Monroe and J John Quincy Adams and Jackson.'' wrote Root, secretary of war. “and Van Buren and Grant and Clay and Welwter and Buchanan and Everett all have agreed In regarding his as es-

sential to the interests and the protection of the United States.” So Cuba's bitterly won freedom was qualified in 1898—as in 1933, when the Roosevelt government, solicitous for the harmony and welfare of the Cuban people, undertakes an unarmed, deftly diplomatic intervention against Machado. The political suzerainty of the United States is easy, and. in the main, considerate; the rule of Spain crushed Cuba. Politically, our motives are those of protection of ourselves and Cuba. Spain's were primarily venal.

Conservation Farmer Gets Fair Deal for Harboring Pheasants

BY WILLIAM F. COLLINS Times Special Writer ANEW deal awaits the Indiana fanner in this field shooting business. It is all set up for him. All he has to do now is to get busy. Michigan and lowa farmers are adopting it. It has plenty of equity in it for himself, the city shooter, and the conservation department producing the birds.

John Farmer signs a ticket. It states that he, in consideration of keeping a covert on his land where pheasants or quail can hide out and feed through the winter, may receive on his land so many birds or eggs if he also wants to have the pleasure of rolling his own. They are not his birds: they belong to the state. He also gets state bird refuge signs with which to post his land. Along comes Mr. Filbert from the city in the late fall. His gun and dogs clutter the old family bus. He is looking for that happy hunting ground. He sees the bird refuge sign and drives into the bam lot and he is welcome for once in his life. John Farmer knows almost to a bird how many cock pheasants or quail coveys he has harbored Filbert is told where to And them. “Yowp" go the dogs; "bang” goes the gun and Filbert returns to the bam lot with his limit. M U U IN lowa he is charged a uniform price of 50 cents a bird; in Michigan the rate is 50 cents up to sl. That money goes to the fanner to help pay taxes on the land used for covert and to pay for the wheat and com fed through the winter. When 75 per cent of the birds have been killed. John Farmer calls a halt. The rest are left for seed. If he acts piggish and allows all his birds to be shot, he is dropped from the preferred list. The game warden attends to that. Filbert has his day’s fun and his bird limit. John has his money. The old business of hunting all day on barren ground, chased out of a dozen farms for trespass, slipping around the back comer of the farms like an alley cat to take a pot shot and then run to the car for a quick getaway is done away with. Every one is happy, the birds are protected, they grow more plentiful and the expense of the whole thing is negligible—the co6t of two boxes of shells. a a a \ ND now I hear the old timers howl. This is a free country, the game belongs to every one. I f. o. b my car. no charge for the trespass. That's O K. with me. old timer. If you have a farmer friend who will let you hunt f. o. b.. look him up. but you should be iuSt as willing to bring him into town and pay his freight to something he enjoys. Consider that it is his land, his wheat, his taxes, his covert, his perspiration that has brought these birds to maturity and that all this is worth a few dollars if it guarantees your bag limit, saves 200 miles of tire, car. and gas and last, but not least, saves youy lace from being

No one can doubt that Cuba, as far as its relations with a foreign power go. is a paradise under the leading strings of Washington and Wall Street in comparison with its state under Madrid. The only point in the analogy is to show' that the Cuban patriots—the rich Creole planters and the professional men educated In American universities—fell short in 1898 of their ideal expressed in 1868 and again In 1895. for absolute freedom.

I have seen the day when Td give* my shotgun to thie "ornery old cuss” on the other side of the fence if he would pipe down and not say such bad things about me before my friends. We don’t want things to drip in this state toward the game usages of Scotland, where the landlord from London, or the lessee of the landlord, very- nearly has the power of decapitation over a man for poaching. We don’t want any such thing as now exists in Nova Scotia, where some New York gentry leases miles of the best salmon stream for their own pleasure and a kindly providence help the guy who casts an uninvited fly upon it!

Contract Bridge

BY W. M. M’KENNEY Secretary American Bridge Leacne ARE you familiar with handling the redouble at contract when employing the Sims negative dou- : ble? Most players redouble without any particular reason for doing so. •While I do not really believe you will come across the following situa- > tion very often, I give you the hand because it brings out, even in a situation as bad as this, what vital information is exchanged between partners when they properly understand how to handle the redouble. This hand came up in a tournament. The North and South pair were using the Boland Club system. ; Just because they received a bad result on this board is no discredit to the system. South made an arbitrary bid of one club showing three and onehalf tricks. East and West were using the constructive one over one system, and West passed. North made an aroitrary response of one diamond, showing less than two high card tricks. list held hearts and spades so he made a negative double. South I redoubled. A redouble should say to your partner. "Let me handle the next bid. I may support your suit or our opponents may bid Into my hand and I may wrant to double them.” North and South had not as yet named a real suit—both of their bids had been arbitrary so the redouble was wrong. However, after a redouble is made, what should the partner do? Bear this in mind— when , your partner doubled he asked you for information regarding your hand, and

BUT in 1898 the arrogant Spaniard—a hundred thousand immigrants seeking easy wealth and a return to Spain, hogging the public offices, the mercantile profits and army preferments, while the oppressed Cuban or remoter Spanish blood kept the island productive—had been turned out and joy reigned in Havana. The American emancipators were cheered. in the Prado as Sumner Welles. Roosevelt adroit ambassador, won Cuban huzzas only last week as Machado fled to the Bahamas and De Cespedes moved into the presidential palace. "Independence or death” the planters under President de Cespedes’ father, himself the first de facto president of a Cuban republic, cried, in 1868 when they rose in the province of Orente, 20,000 strong, and went on to withstand the power of Spain for ten bloody years. De Cespedes. betrayed and slain in the early stages of the rebellion, initiated a war that cost 45.000 Cuban lives and 60,000 Spanish through bullets or fever. a a a / T'HE Spanish, instituting the -■•‘‘no quarter" campaign adopted and amplified by Weyler in the 1890s, executed 2.927 prisoners and exiled thousands of political suspects to the African prison camps. Thrteen thousand estates, including De Cespedes’, were confiscated, and dozens of noble Spanish families enriched by the spoils. This rebellion ended with the treaty of Zanjon, wherein General Campos, the “great pacificator," offered liberal exchange for surrender. Die insurgents surrendered, many were imprisoned and deported and the reforms failed to materialize. But the rebellion had forged leaders for the Cuban cause: Thomas Estrada Palma, who retired to Central Valley, N. Y„ and a boys’ school, but became first president of the liberated republic; General Maximo Gomez, military hero of the 1890s, and scores of others high and humble. The free Cuba of 1898 satisfied them as an accepted compromise. Most of them lived to shape its development in close association with the giant of the north through whose military offices they had sundered the Spanish bond.

By United Preu CINCINNATI, 0.. Aug. 19 —John A. Williaman is believed to have the largest and most representative collection of gallstones in the country. He is an attendant in the department of pathology at general hospital here. His collection of 33,000. acquired in more than 100 surgical and postmortem cases, represents over thirteen years of intensive gallstone gathering. His prize group, containing 2,815 graduated gallstones, was contributed by one person, an adult male. It is an oddly assorted line of various hues and textures. They are variously brown, canary yellow, gray, chocolate and slate colored. Some are black, while others are white or of mixed pigmentations. Physicians have evinced considerable enthusiasm over the exhibit, declaring it provides a perfect accumulation of “evidence” for those engaged in research to find methods of preventing the formation of the hard, pebbly deposits. Chemists find that clear, strong cakes of ice are made apparently of large ice crystals well-oriented; whereas opaque, weak ice blocks are made of small crystals with salt solution between them.

M \ ■ Y BRUCS GAITQN CUMMER seems to be the ideal time for light and frothy farces; and one which might please you very well la "Five Days,” by Eric Hatch. This tale has to do with a young man named Beaaleston Preeee. who discovers abruptly that the vagaries of the stock marxet have transformed him from a rich man into a very poor one. He sits on the steps of his Long Island home, which has Just been sold under the hammer, and contemplates suicide; but before he can transform thought into action, a burglar comes on the scene and makes a friend of him. Then the fun begins. Preeee and the burglar set forth and steal a private yacht, in which they begin 'an aimless but diverting tour of the waters about Long Island sound. They pick up a girl from a New Jersey barge, recruit a henpecked millionaire who wants to escape from his wife, and find their forces still further augmented by a pretty debutante and a restless bishop. No very good purpose would be served by relating their further adventures in detail, especially since your reviewer can't remember all of them. But they have, as you can Imagine, a rather hilarious time, and the whole thing makes pretty entertaining summer reading. Mr. Hatch has a good touch for farce comedy of this kind. Occasionally he shows an echo of the cheerful insanity which makes Thorne Smith’s characters so diverting. Published by Little. Brown & Cos.. “Five Days” sells for $2. FRATERNITY EXPECTS SUCCESSFUL YEAR Jewish Organization Rates High at Indiana University, Members and pledges of Alpha Theta chapter of Phi Beta Delta, leading Jewish fraternity at Indiana university, are looking forward to another successful year. The chapter, while having been on the campus for only four and a half years, has shown marvelous progress in all forms of activity. Scholarship record of the fraternity is outstanding of all. The house rated first twice and second twice during the last four years among the fraternities on the campus. The house was the recipient of five new silver loving cups from the school the last year for Its championship teams in athletics. For the first time in history the Jewish group on the campus will be represented in Skull and Crescent. national sophomore honorary organization.

GROWTH RAPID AT CENTRAL NORMAL Enrollment Near Doubled in Three Years. By Timm Special DANVILLE, Ind., Aug. 19—Central Normal colllege has made a remarkable growth during the last thre® years. The enrollment practically has doubled. The records show that 1,055 students enrolled during the year and that the average enrollment reduced to a regular college year of thirty-six weeks was 673. Advance registrations indicate a large enrollment for the fall term, which has increased 99 per cent during the last two years. New classes and new teachers have been provided to take care of the increase in enrollment. Every member of the regular faculty has been reemployed for the coming year. James I. Skidmore of Lafayette will be added to the music department as bard director The colllege gymnasium will be remodeled by Bept. 15. New showers, locker rooms and storage rf|>ms will be made in the basement and classrooms will be constructed on the first floor. Central Normal has maintained a law department since Nov. 12, 1889, from which many lawyers of distinction have graduated. Two-year courses have been organized to prepare students for medicine, nursing, law, dentistry, civil engineering, chemical engineering. electrical engineering and mechanical engineering. Many students already have enrolled in preprofessional courses. ROAD TO BE IMPROV€D Widening of Highway 52 to Sixteenth Street Past Municipal Gar Improvement and widening of the road ffrom the south end of Road 52 to Sixteenth street, past Municipal Gardens, has been agreed to by property owners.

MAJORITY OF PURDUE GRADS AREJAT WORK Many Have Jobs in Their Chosen Fields and More Being Employed. By TWa Sprcial LAFAYETTE Ind.. Aug 19 —Well above 50 per cent of the ;933 graduates of Purdue university were employed on Aug. 1 in fields for which they were trained, and the percentage is considerably higher at the present time. Purdue university and alumnae association officials stated today, when a -anvass of the Job situation was under way. On Aug 1, Dean A. A. Potter of the engineering schools had replies from 313 members of the 1933 engineering graduates, and of this number 124. or 40 per cent, were working in fields for which they had been trained, and a large number were working at other tasks for the time being. A week before, only 34 per cent were in their chosen fields, mdiear* ing a rapid demand for technically trained men. Farm Students Have Jobs The same thing is true in agriculture, V. C. Freeman, assisstar.t dean, reporting that 85 per cent of this year’s graduates were in agricultural work on Aug. 1. with every forestry graduate for several rears back being engaged in this field at the present time. About 30 per cent of the 1933 "ag” graduates returned to their home farms, a number slightly below normal. indicating the opportunities offered in commercial or educational lines concerned with agriculture. The number of employed today is well above that at the same time last year for members of the 1932 class. Os the eighty graduates in home economics, forty-one reported to Dean Mary L. Matthews on Aug. 1 that they had positions as dietitians in hospitals, as teachers, In institutional management or commercial positions, six were married and no replies had been received by the other thirty-three. This number also was well above 1932. Large Number F.mplnyed Seventy per cent of the pharmacy graduates were employed In drug stores. Practically every graduate from the department of physical education was employed as a conch or teaching and coaching combined, and in the school of science it is thought that more than half of the 1933 graduates were employed. Applications for enrollment In the university for the coming year have shown a marked increase the last two weeks. Registrar R. B. Stone reports. The new unit and two year courses in engineering are attracting hundreds of Inquiries from students unable to come here for the fouryear courses.

Closer Affiliation Reached With Butler University on Courses. Lowest tuition rates in the history of the Arthur Jordan Conservatory of Music will gTeet students of the institution when they return to the campus in September for the fall semester. Due to recent reorganization of the conservatory as a none-profit corporation and establishment of an administrative program committed to a policy of reducing the financial burden of gaining a musical education, the new rates have been effected by Max T Krone, director. Registration dates for the fail semester are Sept. 5 for the preparatory department and Sept. 18 for the conservatory division. Bachelor Degree Offered V Announcement that the school would offer a bachelor of arts degree in music this fall Is made by Mr. Krone.
