—Dietz on Science — SUPERSTITIONS CH MOON ARE ALL DISPROVED

Many Survive Despite Absolute Proof of Fallacy. BY DAVID DIETZ Arripps-Hn* ard Sfknrt Editor Lunar superstitions—still believed today in some quarters—connect the phases of the moon with the weather, with the growth of crops, with stood and bad fortune and with good and bad health. Needless to say. none of these superstitions have any basis in fact. Yet many of them survive. A common superstition about the moon which illustrates why such beliefs survive is the one which holds that the full moon drives the clouds out of the sky. Now an examination of weather records will 'show that it is cloudy at the time of full moon just as often as it is clear. Superstition Is Foolish But the point is that most people pay little attention to the phases of the moon and hence only realize that the moon is full when they see the full moon in the sky. When the moon is full and the sky is clear they see the moon. When the moon is full and the sky is cloudy, they do not see the moon and, consequently, do not realize that the moon is full. Hence the superstition persists that the full moon drives the clouds out of the sky. A little thought will serve to show how foolish the superstition is. The moon is 240.000 miles away. Clouds are in our own atmosphere. Moreover. on any given night, it will be clear in some localities and cloudy in others. The moon can not be responsible for both conditions. Consulted for Crops A generation or so ago it was common in rural communities to consult the almanac before planting crops. The phases of the moon were believed to have great influence upon their growth. An old English writer advises tin his original spelling): "Sowe poason and beanes. in the wane of the moone. Who soweth them sooner, he soweth too soone. That they with the planet may rest and arise. And flourish, with bearing most plentiful wise.” As these lines indicate, lunar superstitions are very old. Plutarch writes: "The moon showeth her power most evidently even in those bodies, which have neither sense nor lively breath; for carpenters reject the timbers of trees fallen in the full moon, as being soft and tender, subject also to the worm and putrefacttion. and that quickly, by reason of excessive moisture; husbandmen, likewise, make haste to gather up their wheat and other grain from the thrashing floor in the wane of the moon and toward the end of the month. ‘ Another old poem states: When the moon is at the full. Mushrooms you may freely pull: But when the moon is on the wane, Wait ere you thin to pluck again.” It would seem, however, that the ability to tell a mushroom from a toadstool would be more important in picking mushrooms. SPLIT CHARITY DRIVES Conin'unity Fund. Ked Cross to Separate Money Raising. Separate drives for funds will l)e conducted by the Community Fund and the Red Cross, according to announcement by officials of the two organizations today. In previous years the drives had been united. Reasonn for the separate drives lies in the fact that the Red Cross is a national organization operating through local chapters. required to meet definite national and international obligations. The agreement to discontinue a united dri\? was made on a friendly bases, according to William Fortune, chairman of the Indianaplis chapter of the American Red Cross, and Arthur V. Brown, president of the Indianapolis Community Fund.

TT'BGDKi AW tY BftUCt CAJTQN THERE is something immensely encouraging and reassuring about such a book as ’Certain Samaritans." by Esther Pohl Lovejov. anew and enlarged edition of, which just has been published. This book tells the story of the j American Women's Hosiptals—that organization of women doctors who went overseas during the war under Red Cross supervision, started out by caring for wounded soldiers and wound up by going all over the near east and combating famine, plague and a dozen other evils all the wayvfrom Albania to Armenia. ■Wound up." perhaps, isn t quite the expression—for some of these women still are at it. But anyway, it is a fine record of magmficient service; and. as I say, it is a reasuring sort of book. We hear a lot these days about the big rewards that must be hung up in order to inspire people to do their best work. Industry must offer its million-dollar bonuses. 1 bankers must draw up their preferred lists, self-interest must be catered to all the time, or the j world's w ork won t get done. Ohi yeah? Read what Dr. Lovejoy says: "This service has not been a lied of roses. Sometimes it has been a oecl o? straw in a box car. a rug on the deck of a sailing smack, or a cot in a typhus camp Our hospitalers have endured discomforts survived diseases and manifold dangers, but they have lived abundantly. . . . They never can be poo though they die in the almshouse the place would be enriched by their presence." Am* rice never should cease tc be proud of the work don - by ih women. This book givis you an impressive survey of their splendid record. Macmillan is the publisher, ana the price is $3.50. •

1916 CHEVROLET STILL GOING AT GOOD CLIP Texas Couple Are Proud of Their Royal Mail Roadster. Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Finnerty of San Antonio, driving a veteran 1916 Royal Mail Chevrolet roadster, vis- j ited the Hare Chevrolet Motor Company this week. Upon checking this four-cylinder old-timer.

Both Mr. and Mrs. Finnertv are proud of their old "Chevy."’ and boast that they have yet to have an accident. They contended that they would not be in the market for a new car before 1945.

HOOSIERS HAVE LARGE STAKE IN NEW OIL CODE

MillionsY of Dollars Have Been Invested in This Industry in Indiana. Each week this column will be devoted to comment* on a current subject applying to the automotive industry by some personality identified with the auto field ;n Indianapolis. This week Sam. T. Hurd will comment upon the NRA rode as it applies to the Petroleum industry. BY SAM T. HI/RD Secretary Indiana Petroleum Code Bureau. President Roosevelt signed the petroleum industry code last Saturday and immediate preparations are going forward to have it in full effect by September! Indiana, as a state, is higher in importance in the oil industry than many would suppose. Several larger

refinery units are located in the northwestern section, and home offices of several companies of major size are located within the state. Large manufacturers of pumps, tanks and oil equipment have Indiana plants. Figures gathered over the nation prove that Indiana suffered less in point of

loss in gasoline gallonage than many other states during the depression, and a most favorable upturn has been noted in the last thirty to forty-five days. Due to recent developments in refinery technology, resulting in better fuels, there has been much activity in rebuilding and modernization of plants, and that phase alone has been instrumental in putting millions of dollars into circulation in this state. Much Money Invested The public has noted with extreme interest the rapid change in service station design and much money has been spent during the time of the depression by oil concerns which not only have built hundreds of new stations of the supertype, but have spent even more in modernization of older type stations. As an industry, petroleum ranks with the first five or six in the nation. and because of the large number of people engaged in the business. from the men in the oil fields up through the refineries and the marketing organization, it was the wish of President Roosevelt that the oil code be given earnest and early consideration. In this the administration was confronted with perhaps the most complex problems it will meet in the entire program of governmental partnership. No industry is so farflung in its activities; none has a larger list of customers, and none is so highly competitive. To prepare a code which would be fair has been a task that presented almost insurmountable difficulties. Task Is Difficult The various types of retail marketing, the flush oil fields that flooded markets with petroleum | products to the extent that smaller i fields almost were put out of the ! competitive picture, the differences of opinion regarding conservation of | natural resources, all tended to : make the drawing of a code one of difficulty and hard work. For several years the petroleum industry has been operating under a code of ethics given to it by the federal trade commission and as a result had experience of several years to serve as guidance in preparation of a document under which to operate with the NRA. J. L. McNernv, of the Luberite Refining corporation. is the chairman of the Indiana committee. During the period of time that the code was under active consideration virtually all oil companies, both large and small, adjusted hours of employment and scale of wages to conform to the NRA. This meant the employment of hundreds of additonal people—service men at stations, drivers of trucks, men at bulk plants, as well as clerical and office helpers. It is safe to say that under the new petroleum code the pay rolls of Ihe industry will reach new all-time peaks. FRIENDS AREJN SESSION Mission Work, Prohibition Topic at Meeting in Plainfield.

Motorist Finds Fascinating Place to Dine at Morristown’s Kopper Kettle

The broad smile on the faee of the young lady who is perched on the fender of the black four-door Graham sedan, explains what she thinks of this car, now on display at showrooms of the Newby Motor Company, 1033 North Meridian street.

Inn Is Beautiful, With Its Colonial Furnishings and Other Antiques. BY STURGE WELLS Times Automobile Editor If you happen to be the type who likes to get out of the city on Sundays and drive around seeking either strange places to see or unusual places to dine, where the surroundings aren't so obviously conventional, then the following ac- J count of last Sunday's wanderings should appeal to you. Settling dow’n comfortably in a new ebony black four-door Graham sedan, w-hich denotes class distinction and smartness in modern automobile transportation, loaned by L. L. Newby, president of the Newby Motor Company, Graham distributor, I headed south over Rout" 52 with the land of the “Cincinnatus" in mind. Just a few miles out of Morristown, a sudden thought flashed through my mind regarding an inn someone had spoken about a few days previously. I recalled, "watch out for the Kopper Kettle inn if you drive through Morristown.” Stopping at the inn and inquiring for the proprietor. I met a pleasant young woman who announced that she was the operator. She politely begged off from an interview until later in the day. stating that every one was occupied preparing for the day’s guests. However. she invited me to look around for myself, and later her husband joined me. and turned out to be an excellent host. Any one who has visited this place recently can appreciate what a job it is to describe its interior, and actually put into words the unusual qualities which it possesses. Frankly, to do it justice, it takes a more experienced scribe than I profess to be, but anyway, these were my impressions. Upon entering by a side porch which fronts on a very green and "scrubbed” lawn, one comes face to face with an enormous old stone fireplace of the bottle neck variety, which tapers gracefully to a paneled * hardw'ood ceiling. To the left of the mouth of the fireplace is a large copper kettle, suspended on andirons. A quick survey of this room reveals that the walls like the ceil-

The furniture is arranged most effectively and in the main is of early colonial origin.

CITY SCHOOLS’ SHARE IN BEER■ TAX SIOO,OOO

€stimate of Revenue to Be Apportioned Given to Governor. Imbibers of 3>2 beer and medicinal whisky will contribute about SIOO- - toward operation of Indianapolis public schools next year, according to estimate submitted today to Governor Paul V McNutt. It was estimated that for the school year 1933-34 excise taxes will produce slightly more than $1.000.000 for the schools, the equivalent of about $1.70 for every public school pupil in the state. Only a part of the excise revenues from liquor and beer dispensing* licenses, as well as malt, loquor. and \ beer taxes, goes to schools, the remainder going to counties, cities, and towns for general fund purposes Receipts May Decline There was available Aug 1 for the schools SB3 000. and estimates indicate that the total available Nov. 1. wheft first distribution to schools will be made, will be about SBOO,OOO. or a little more than $1 20 for each child in school Distribution is based on averace daily attendance, the average for the last school year being 657.616 pupils Another $320,000 is expected to be ready by May. 1934. when the school distribution will be made Receipts are expected to decline during winter months, particularly those for beer, but if $320,000 is available, the schools will receive another distribution of almost 50 cents for each pupil Reduces Local Levies These figures, it was pointed out, merely are estimates compiled for guidance of school officials trying to work out some way to keep their schools open during the 1933-34 school year, but they represent the best conservative judgment of statu officials. Funds provided from this source to the schools will result in reducing local property tax needs proproportionately.
