It Seems to Me By Heywood Broun 1 DON'T carp anything about the north pole or the south pole any more. I understand by the papers that men in boats are scaring the penguins again. If I remember correctly. Admiral Byrd or somebody else has once more set foot on Little America. So what? How many times does anybody have to discover a pole in order to get permanent possession? By wireless news comes that Little America is just where it was a few years ago. Not even that seems to me important enough to rate a headline.

If any of the explorers flashed back the information, “Little America is gone and so is the south pole.” I would regard that as adequate for a one column head inside. Cortez and Balboa were something else again. The thrill of that was palpable. And Balboa saw the Pacific coast without the aid of instruments. He could have put a toe or even a whole foot into this ocean which lay before him. It may be that scientists can grow excited over the figures which Byrd will carry back upon his gauges. To the layman the thing is nebulous.

“Are we there?” one imagines him as saying to his assistant, only to meet the Must a minute, give me a papzr and a pencil as I compute it.” n n a Returning Without Trophies 'T'HESE voyagers can bring back no captives, 1- strange metals or curious animals. There is no wine of the country' for them to sample, or any possibility whatsoever of erratic adventure. Tobacco already has been found. In old age it will not be feasible for any one to leer and sigh and speak with sentiment of those dear dead days at the bottom of the world. Ice is so much all of a piece no matter where you find it. And mostly it is the privilege of a discoverer to sit and sun himself and say: “Well! Well!” Things are not so with Byrd. Blinded, numb and hurried, he will sweep over his goal and beyond it in a split second. I, who crossed the Rockies sound asleep in an upper berth, know those mountains about as well as these aviators are acquainted with their precious pole. If they passed it in the street, would either one feel safe in bowing? It might, you know, be just two other cakes of ice. Byrd has killed the charm of the pole and of Antarctic exploration. The newspapers have pointed out that the journey which required from the pioneers many months of arduous effort can be made by him in a few hours. But this is a trip quite ruined by any suggestion of ease and comfort. If ever a bus line runs to that barren spot few will make the journey. Man had to go there largely on account of the barriers thrust in his way. If the truth comes out I believe it will be discovered that Bruenhilde was no great catch. Avidity was provoked solely by the fire which ringed her in. Nobody can get much excited about a safe and sane pole. Few hang upon the explorations now or ever did. When you've seen one you’ve seen them all. a tt tt Merely a Confirmation IN a sense, nobody ever discovered the south pole. We’ve all known it was there. Intrepid voyagers have merely attained it. On the other hand, one may argue that Columbus did far less in discovering America. With a whole continent at which to shoot how could he miss? And at that he landed upon an obscure and only slightly desirable section of the country. The pole teeters like a duckpin perched on the tip of a huge and whirling ball. When one knicks that, it’s shooting. But who’s to tell if contact was exact? Maybe Byrd merely will come close. There is a sameness in the ice fields all about. I doubt if anybody ever will know for certain. I don’t care. The high courage of all the noble army of explorers goes without saying and yet in times like these I think we have a right to look askance at anybody who says he is going down to the bottom of the globe to sit upon the ice. Isn’t there just a little reason to believe that he is trying to get away from arguments about the gold standards, inflation and the benefits of the NRA? When next I see a man with skis, a wireless outfit and a contract to do a series of feature stories for the New York Times after braving death in the uncharted snowflelds, I’m going to lean out from a subway local window (if I can reach it) and shake my fist while I cry out: “You quitter!” Nor have I as yet been thrilled by any of the conversations shot back and forth through the ether between monologists in Manhattan and intrepid adventurers fighting their way toward the nearest pole. After all. what have they got to talk about? Somebody sitting uncomfortably in a New York studio says through the microphone: “Is it cold down there?” Admiral Byrd answers: “Yes.” Id rather listen to Colonel Stoopnagle and Budd.

Your Health ■" ■ lll BV DR. MORRIS FISHBEIX WHEN you visit your doctor regarding an ailment, he most likely will consider your mood as an indication of the possibility for recovery. Recently, when all the world has been plunged into financial depression, physicians have seen its reflection in the attitudes of their patients. So when your doctor finds you in low spirits, he does everything possible to change your attitude, because he realizes that a different type of mind may have much to do with speed of recovery. Psychoanalysts have given a great deal of attention to the mass psychology involved in the current situation. The government has recognized the dangers of this point of view and, for that reason, is using all the forces of modern propaganda to change the mass attitude of the people. • A famous European psychoanalyst. Paul Fadern, recently has pointed out that, although there is much more misery in Austria than in the United States, there is less mental depression in Austria. This, he feels, is wholly in the mental attitude of the people. "The Austrians believe that their misery was created by foreign countries and not through their own fault, whereas Americans,” he says, “can not free themselves of the sense of guilt for their own depression.” a a a DEPRESSION is a state of mind. A sense of depression paralyzes initiative and decision. Because of this, government and business work more slowly and under greater difficulties. People grow reserved: they fear to spend money. They fear to enjoy pleasures and amusements. The individual who is depressed is not only on bad terms with the world, but also with himself. Furthermore, the person who is suffering from depression is likely to neglect his personal appearance, to become slouehv. and to permit his clothing to go without suitable attention, so that eventually all those who are depressed resemble one another. b a a A GOOD description of the depressed person follows: "Tire depressed person becomes rude easily, and criticises everything; neither does he acknowledge anything good when he meets it. or accept it. If he uses it. he often turns it into something evil. ■ He expects a kind of guardianship from every one. but he refuses that offered to him, full of mistrust. He desires merry company, but can not bear it: his envy drives him away. "He shews his misery and is ashamed of it, whereas the unhappy person hides it without blushing. His relationships cease. "It is a queer fact that he reverses his former judgments of men. He finds those unbearable whom he hitherto liked and finds tolerable those whom he formerly hated.” a a • IF this description should happen to strike home, you should realize the way out. You must assume an attitude different from that which you now 7 hold.

This is the fifth of a series of articles on members of The Indianapolis Times’ staff. Today's article tells vou about William H. McGauehev, Federal buildine and City Hall reporter. BY NORMAN E. ISAACS Times News Editor IT was back in 1912 . . . March 28 to be exact ... Dr. Samuel McGaughey, Irvington physician and prominent Republican political figure, was receiving congratulations on the birth of a bouncing boy to Mrs. McGaughey. . . . Mother and-son were doing fine. “What are you going to name the baby?" asked a newspaper friend. “I don’t know,” confessed Dr. McGaughey. “Why not name him after President Taft?” urged the newspaper friend, and then, without waiting for the doctor to accept the suggestion, promptly published a story to that effect in the daily journals. So with the newspapers and what seems like fate against him, Dr. McGaughey had little recourse and his son became William Howard Taft McGaughey, the same William H. McGaughey who now covers the Federal building and city hall beats for The Indianapolis Times.

r

At any rate, President Taft sent to his Indianapolis namesake an autographed photograph of himself. Loath to suggest it, his colleagues point out that fate must have taken it out on William Howard Taft that year for he was defeated in his race for re-elec-tion to the presidency. . tt tt tt ATOUNG BILL M'GAUGHEY 1 started his newspaper life early, obtaining himself a fivecustomer newspaper route at the tender age of five. When he entered high school. Bill carried a morning paper route for four years. Bill kept up his journalistic activities at De Pauw university, sold advertising after his graduation and in July, 1933, became a member of The Times’ editorial st a ff. So you see that Bill McGaughey, not quite 22. is a cub ... a fledgling just starting to sprout his wings. We’re rather fond of young Bill. You would be, too. Precocious, Bill McGaughey put altogether is a iovable boy. A gangling youth, six feet one inch tall, the blond son of the late Dr. McGaughey has freckles, a snub nose, and a smile—a smile that breaks out from ear to ear and has you smiling back no matter how badly you may feel. Young Mr. McGaughey also has a voice—a loud and sonorous voice which might come in handy for some fog-bound sea captain some night. Work in The Times’ office is suspended whenever Bill • McGaughey gets on a telephone. The office waits for Mr. McGaughey to finish. Through, he stretches his six feet one to its limit, catches all eyes upon him, and blushes furiously. tt tt tt LIKE most Irvington boys. Bill _gntered Technical high school after finishing his grade school work. Bill’s only claim for fame there came from his ability to make the loudest and most expensive explosions in the chemistry laboratory. Vaguely dreaming of going to Purdue to be a

.—The Theatrical World —— Harry Foster Welch, Mimic Artist, Draws Plaudits of Times Critic; Kay Francis Again Triumphs in 'The House on 56th Street 9 BY WALTER D. HICKMAN *

COME right over and meet an extraordinary artist and a splendid showman at the Lyric. His name is Harry Foster Welch, and he glorifies the art of a mimic. This man rightly may be called a man with a thousand voices. He imitates perfectly every instrument in a great symphony

orchestra, and while doing an operatic number he even reproduces the voice of Lawrence Tibbett, John Charles Thomas and Lily Pons. His Amos ’n’ Andy impersonation is a gem, the reproduction of the voices being as near as is possible. By the use of his voice and with no mechan-

ical assistance, he produces the sound of a number of airplanes in combat, including a big bomber. He is the most versatile mimic I ever have encountered. Here is variety in its finest and healthiest form. Roy Cummings always has been a fine showman and an excellent eccentric comedian. He still rides the curtain, takes many hard

‘WE MAKE YOUR NEWSPAPER’ Here’s Bill McGaughey —the ‘Pride of De Panic’

chemical engineer, Mr. McGaughey gave up forlornly when he discovered there were no such things as unbreakable test tubes. He took a fling at the “theater” in his senior year at Tech. He had the role of a swordsman in the class play, “Monsieur Beaucaire.” Although supposed to go down to defeat, Bill delighted the audience by knocking down the hero's right-hand man. The director was far from delighted, we learn from _ an authoritative source. William, however. was a good pupil. He won a Rector scholarship to De Pauw. Coming along splendidly, Mr. McGaughey tried out for the freshman basketball team. Success went to Bill’s head, however. Romance blew its sweet breath upon him and he went strolling one afternoon with a blond of the opposite sex. The freshman coach immediately dropped his “star.” In his sophomore year he was appointed to the board of directors of the Yellow Crab, De Pauw humor magazine, and in his junior year became the editor-in-chief of the De Pauw, the college paper. Here Bill’s executive ability came to the fore. He filled the ranks of his staff with fair maidens. Regretful perhaps, one day soon thereafter he wrote an editorial on “Glorious Womanhood” and dubbing the fairer sex as “stupid.” Bill sprang to fame. Daniel M. Kidney of The Indianapolis Times spotted the editorial and immediately The Times blossomed forth with a five-column headline on page one calling attention to Mr. McGaughey’s “masterpiece.” Bill hasn’t forgotten it yet. tt tt tt BUT the funniest is yet to come. De P&uw’s journalistic co-eds held their annual banquet, a razz dinner with the males conspicuous by their absence. Undaunted, Bill managed to squeeze his gangling frame into

comedy falls and stops the show as usual. He has good comedy relief in Flo Roberts. His act is so good that it can be considered to be a variety institution. The chorus this week is making its finest appearance. This group is improving every week. Raynor and Caldwell are good dancers. George Ball and Jean with assistants stage a splendid balancing act. They work with ease and charm. - Tabor and Frye are Negro comedians. They are good at harmonizing. Ruth Racette is a ! pleasing singer. The movie is "Bombay Mail,” with Edmund Lowe. Shirley Grey, Onslow Stevens, Ralph Forbes. ! John Wray, Hedda Hopper and | others. Here the spectator sees a detective solve two murder mysj teries which take place on an j Oirental express.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Meet William H. McGaughey, Times reporter, who is shown here obtaining from Dr. Herman G. Morgan, city health officer, the latest news of the immunization campaign.

an evening gown borrowed from a feminine sympathizer, slipped past the “gate,” and then reported the whole proceedings for the whole De Pauw campus. Ah, those college days “Oh, father and mother pay al! the bills, And we have all the fun.” But Bill was rewarded. He was initiated into Sigma Delta Chi, men’s journalistic fraternity, and

more women tvho can fake, the Swedish brogue. One smart boy decided to write a story about an Irish girl who faked the Swedish brogue so well

that she became a star. So ’’Let’s Fall in Love” was written. It is a burlesque on Greta Garbo. She probably will “burn up” if She ever sees this one. To put over the idea, the producers had to get a blond and one who could say “I tank I go home” successfully. So Ann Sothern was signed by Colum-

bia Pictures and was placed in ‘‘Let’s Fall in Love” as her first picture. The familiar name in this movie is Edmund Lowe and so far as he is concerned it is just another movie. The story hasn’t much weight. It is merely a trifle about a girl who became a Hollywood Cinderella because a temperamental movie star walked off the lot in a Swedish story. So the director (Mr. Lowel had to get a duplicate.' The director develops the blond Irish girl into a great Swedish star. Os course, he is discovered and shown up, but the public went wild over the idea of Hollywood being deceived. Miss Sothern is good to look at and she has a pleasing but not a sensational singing voice. The only time I recall seeing her w r as when the Chicago company of ‘‘Of Thee I Sing” was at English's. She may become great or she may be a (failure, but she will have to win stronger vehicles than this one. The producers have made a mistake in plugging the theme song of the movie too often. This one comes under the head of being a harmless movie. Now at the Circle. B B B A Real Performance KAY FRANCIS has arrived at that stage of her movie career where she can be depended upon to give an interesting and an intelligent performance of any role. In ‘‘The House on Fifty-sixth Street,” Miss Francis has her most ambitious dramatic and emotional role to date. The story is concerned with Peggy, an oldfashioned show girl of the nine-

ties who marries a rich lad. Peggy had a man friend in her life and when she is the happiest with her husband and child, the flame of other days causes her and own fa 11. He tries to kill himself and in a fight over the revolver the man is killed. All the evi-

dence is against Peggy and she is sent to prison for twenty years. While in there, the World war claims her husband. Her daughter thinks that her mother died when she was very young.

Blue Key, honorary men’s senior society. Back in Indianapolis, young Mr. McGaughey lobbied at The Times for a job. His persuasion failing, Bill wrote a feature about an aging neighbor who kept many clocks in her home, all on different time schedules, to mark her children scattered over the world. Perhaps some of you remember that story.

Peggy, who always had a weakness for gambling, joins forces with a notorious gambler and her crook. After a spotted career, Peggy again becomes involved in murder when she takes the blame for • the death of her gambling partner. She does this to keep shame and ruin from her own daughter who has grown up with a definite weakness toward gambling. Miss Francis is splendid in giving a definite account of in every period of development cf the life of Peggy. This is no shoddy or careless performance but one with depth and much fine shading. Although you will not want to call Peggy your friend, yet you will be interested in her career. It is fine and impressive dramatic and melodramatic acting. Ricardo Cortez and Gene Raymond are the men, good and bad, in Peggy’s life. Good work on the part of both. Now at the Indiana.

Here’s a Good Movie THE Palace this week has two outstanding features on its first stage and screen program of anew policy. On the screen is Robert Montgomery and Madge Evans in “Fugitive Lovers” and the feature of “Century of Progress Revue”

on the stage is Robert L. Ripley’s ‘‘Believe It or Not” show at the fair. It is too bad that the Ripley exhibition of human oddities has to appear in a stage show that .runs to the extreme in exhibition of flesh. It does not fit in with the fan dance and a scarf dance of Faith Bacon. The Ripley

Robert Montgomery

exhibit is marvelous, strange entertainment for children: the dances of Miss Bacon are out of place in such a show. They are running this fan dance idea into the ground and there was only slight and far scattered applause when the fan dance was over. I certainly do not recommend fan dancers for children or family trade. The Ripley exhibit is a glorified side show placed in a Tiffany setting. Splendid showmanship has been used in presenting these strange people. The one that interested me most was the man who swallows eight silver dollars and then coughs them up two and three at a time as the audience determines the number. He also swallows a silver watch and chain. If the chain is requested, it comes up first. He also swallows a lighted electric light globe. Another marvel is the man who suspends, on a ring placed in a hole in' his tongue, a seventy-five-pound weight. Just as strange and interesting is the contortionist who is the most marvelous example of his kind. There is. also a man who picks up-’nine baseballs in each hand. A cartocnist, using his hand and feet, draws three cartoons at one time. This exhibit glorifies the side show and the manner of presentation is magnificent. This same method of presentation was used in Chicago at the fair. I am told. Alfredo and Dolores are wild dancers when they present the rhumba. Lypo and Lee are splendid acrobatic comedians. Their work is clean and fine. The movie was quite a surprise to me. because I didn't expect much. Nearly all of the action is placed on a bus en route from New York to Los Angeles. Mr. Montgomery is excellent as the escaped convict who finds love and romance on the bus. Here is a picture that is splendid family entertainment. It is too bad there is so much unnecessary nudity in the stage show. Too bad. Now at the Palace. Diamonds can be burned in oxygen at a temperature of about 850 degrees centigrade.

Fair Enough By Westbrook Pegler IKNOW somebody who is going to have to shower down to help pay off the national debt of thirtyone billion dollars, going on thirty-two. which th L T mted States treasury will owe itself next yea*. Princess Barbara Hutton-Mdivani is. Princess Barbara Hutton-Mdivani. who can not travel by land except in her private car. which cost the price of a hospital, and can not go for a tea trip without half a deck of a big lmer reserved sex herself and her party, is one of those who will hava

to shower down to help pay off the deficit. When the new deal gets around to job of gathering in the money to balance the money which now is being paid out in billions to the farmers and the out-of-work laboring people, the government is going to take a very deep cut at all such fortunes and, if the people who own those fortunes do not like it, that will be just too bad. You would think that people with that much money would have the discretion to hold still and play poor in such a time as this instead of traveling in private cars which run through the meanest and bitterest neigh-

borhoods. where the people stand aside from their coal picking, or gather at the frosted windows of their shanties, to watch the private cars go by. But some people do not have much tact and I do not believe that any one since the day of Marie Antoinette has been guilty of such dumb judgment in the sufferings of the poor as the young American girl who married a Russian of the nonwerking type and set out to spend her way extravagantly around a world full of want and woe. a a tt Higher Wages Will Help IN various ways, the government is going to lighten the task and solve the problem of people who think they are performing a public service in scattering money on frivolity and unimaginable luxury, on the ground that otherwise the money would just accumulate and not do anybody any good. For one thing, if a poor little rich girl finds that she has an income of two million dollars a year, derived from a string of five-and-ten-cent stores, the government is going to make her kick back so much money in wages to the poor little poor girls who stand eight-hour tricks on their feet behind the counters of the five-and-ten-cent stores that the accumulation of money will not be any great problem at all a few years from now. For another thing the government is going to strop the razor and . shave all such incomes down to convenient size through the income tax. If you think that is a revolutionary piece, you are quite right. This is a revolution which is going on in Washington, D. C.. under the somewhat reassuring euphemism of the new deal. The thirty-one billion dollars, going on thirtytwo, and all the other billions which will be % owing, will be paid by the people who have the mone’y with which to pay. And by the time the revolution is over there will be a much narrower margin between the state of Princess Barbara Hutton-Mdivani, whose great, generous heart, gave $25,000 for the unemployed, out of an income of $2,000,000 a year, and who rides in her private railroad car. and that of those other girls who stand behind the counters, selling mouse-traps and salted peanuts for a few dollars a week, and give nickels to the unemployed and then walk home to save carfare. tt a a Evergbodg Will Pag THE government is going to take it away from her and all such men as those noted financiers who came down here to Washington and confessed that they had not paid any income taxes because they were able to show that technically, they hadn’t made any money. Nothing has made as many people as sore in the time of the present generation in this country as the realization of millions of little people that they had laid their income taxes on the line, in amounts ranging from $lO to SSOO with no worth-while exemptions for the support of jobless relatives and none at all for doctors’ bills, while J. P. Morgan, Tom Lamont. Charlie Mitchell and Al, the incomparable, Wiggin, paid not so muen as a dime. I do not think people are very sore at Princess Barbara Hutton-Mdivani. She doesn’t seem to know what it is all about. Those others did, though. They were the cunning kind. But this revolution, or new deal, if you like the sound of that better, is not going to let anybody make that kind of money any more. They will make just so much and everything over that will spill over the top of the crock and down the drain to the United States treasury. , I am not going to make my kind of money any more, either. Everybody who is lucky enough to make any money worth taxing at all is going to shower down to pay off that thirty-one billion, going on thirty-two. So I am crazy, am I? You wait until 1935 and we will see who is looney then. (Copyright, 1934. by United Feature Syndicate. Inc.)

Today s Science . . =BY DAVID DIETZ ———— | WHAT might be called the Ruthsrford-Bohr model of the atom, since it is lue chiefly to the pioneer work of these two scientists, is the generally accepted atomic model as 1934 gets under w r ay. It is accepted, however, with certain reservations made necessary by the development of wave mechanics. . Two important discoveries of recent years enable scientists to construct the present model. One was the discovery of the neutron by Chadwick and his associate in Lord Rutherford’ laboratory at Cambridge. The other was the confirmation of the existence of two kinds of hydrogen atom, a light atom and a heavy one. Let us have a look at the parts of the RutherfordBohr atom. They are the electron, the proton, the deuton, the neutron and the alpha particle. We don't need the positron and for today we are going to ignore its existence. The electron is the unit of negative electricity. The panicles revolving around the nucleus of any atom are electrons. The preton is a unit of positive electricity. It is smaller than the electron, but more compact, having 1.850 times the mass of the electron. Tlte simplest atom is the light hydrogen atom. Its nucleus consists of one proton. Around this, revolves one electron. BBS THE neutron gets its name from the fact that it is a particle which is electrically neutral. It is now agreed that it consists of a close union of a proton and an electron. The deuton is the name which has been suggested for the nucleus cf a heavy hydrogen atom. Its atmoic weight and electrical charge are such that it seems reasonable to suppose that it consists of a neutron and a proton. The alpha particle is the nucleus of the helium atom. Alpha particles sre emitted spontaneously during the disintegration 'of radium and have been knocked out of the nuclei of other atoms during experiments. The alpha particle consists of four protons and two electrons. This, as Dr. W D, Harkins of the University of Chicago has pointed out, is just another way of saying that it consists of two deutons. Now these are the building blocks from which we must construct the atoms of the various chemical elements. We must begin with the hydrogen atom. This has an atomic number of one which means that the nucleus exhibits a positive charge of one and that one electron revolves around it Next comes helium, which has an atomic number of two, and so it goes until we reach uranium with an atomic number of 92. This means that the nucleus of the uranium atom has a positive charge of 92, while 92 electrons revolve around it. nos THE light hydrogen atom, as already said, has r proton for a nucleus while one electron revolvr around
