It Seems to Me By Heywood Broun THE Republicans have been lookine desperately for some Lochinvar to stride in and capture public opinion. They have backed now a number of champions In sporadic frays against the administration. It must be admitted that, politically speaking, not one of the knights has amounted to very much. Ogden Mills awakened no sle< ping beauties in his Topeka speech. In fact, it seems doubtful that its echoes even aroused sleeping senators. Senator; Nye and Borah did their turn on NRA

monopoly and the small business man. That wasn't much of a hit because practically all the potentialities of that time have been played before. And, of course, there is always Mark Sullivan to do his dirge of one note upon his strange tribal drum. It sounds like the motif of the Emperor Jones, for all that Mr Sullivan over says is Revolution! Revolution’” u u a Enter a New White Hope BUT now a young and authentically popular American has stepped into the lists against Mr. Franklin D. Roosevelt. I

suppose that there was a time in which Colonel Lindbergh might justly have been identified as the mast popular of all Americans. H< was certainly during hi* brief moment the most glamorous. And so the Republican war horses begin to sit up all over again and pay attention. Here’s something new . Lindbergh and the President of the United States are clashing acrimoniously on the issue of aviation. But nobody has ever seriously believed that Mr Lindbergh was a political economist or a political leader. He was simply a superb pilot. It even may be that in the city of Washington, D. C., he looms less large than in other parts of the country, for there are still congressmen and commentators ir the district who remember the elder Lindbergh as the greater man. Mr. Lindbergh’s father was onp of the most active and vivid of the early Farmer-Labor groups. His son flew him about the state once when the old gentleman was running for Governor of Minnesota on an extremely radical platform. Apparently the father’s speeches made no great effect on the imagination of the young flier, because Colonel Lindbergh’s few political statements have generally consisted of a perfunctory indorsement of Herbert Hoover or some other action of that sort. And now Lindy is in politics again, and again on the wrong side. 0 9 0 Not the Perfect Partisan THERE can be small doubt that the air mail contracts were canceled with good reason. Mr. Lindbergh himself been in receipt of high sums as technical adviser It would be unfair to say that these sums were exorbitant, but there is at least a possibility that not every penny was set down in the books as an expense foi technical advice. Some of it may well have gone because of the popularity and prestige which the colonel had with legislators. That does not necessarily constitute a wrong, but it is a situation in which the colonel may talk himself into an embarrassing position by taking up the cudgels too heavily against the President. A distant cousin of Franklin D. Roosevelt is supposed to have said once: Frank has the greatest gift ever possessed by any President. He is the luckiest man alive.” Possibly it isn’t all luck There may be certain shrewdness in forcing the other fellow into a disadvantageous position before the attack comes. However the thing happens, practically all the attacks made upon President Roosevelt come at the wrong time, from a poor quarter, and on extremely bad grounds. BUB In the Air and on the Earth WHEN the Lone Eagle came back from France with the ice hardly melted from the wings of his plane, he might have been in democratic America a dangerous rival for any man. The colonel has gone on since that day to establish himself over and over again as a brilliant flier. The science of aviation owes much to him and always will. But Mr Lindbergh has no equipment at all to argue such questions as "When does an infant industry come of age?” or "When is a subsidy not a subsidy?" The colonel’s economics in the last few years have been the economics of his rich friends and associates. In the air Lindy is still king, but with his feet upon the ground he loses his sense of balance and proportion. He will not serve as a serious critic of the President of the United States.

Today's Science =v- - - B* DAVID DIETZ ----- -

\ CHILD S toy is the champion detective of the universe. Probably every reader, at some time during his youth, possessed a little glass prism which, when held up to the sunlight, split the light of the sun into a tiny rainbow. A similar glass prism is one of the most useful tools possessed by the scientist. Astronomy, geology, physics, chemistry and even the biological sciences have all benefited by its use. In fact, the technique of its use constitutes a branch of science all by itself, and the experts who practice it are known by the rather formidable name of spectroscopists. A carefullv ground prism, or a series of them, equipped with some auxiliary telescopes constitutes what the scientist calls a spectroscope The little rainbow formed by it he calls a spectrum. The science of spectroscopy is the science of spectrum analysis. Like the chap in the song, the spectroscope: is always chasing rainbows. But, unlike the chap in the song, he gets results. Much of our knowledge about the sun is the result of studying the sun s spectrum non THE innermost secrets of the sun have been unlocked through the study of the sun's spectrum. It is of interest, therefore, to trace the origin and development of spectrum analysis. It all began with an attempt by Sir Isaac Newton to improve telescopes. Astronomers in his day were bothered by the fact that their telescopes did not give perfectly sharp images. Instead, the images possessed fuzzy boundaries ringed with the colors of the rainbow. It occurred to Sir Isaac that the difficulty did not 1 the telescope lens, but in the nature of the . Sir Isaac, therefore, perfected a' telescope *h used a nurror instead of a lens. This type of *.iescope. known as the reflector, is in wide use today. the world's largest telescopes being of this type. The difficulty with the other type, known as the refractor, was later solved by employing lenses composed of two kinds of glass, but that, as Mr. Kipling would say. is another story. Sir Isaac, by means of a glass prism, established definitely that white light was a composition of all the colors of the rainbow, and that what the prism did was to split a beam of white light into its component colors. a a a THE action of the prism is easily understood if wei keep in mind the nature of color Sounds differ from one another in pitch because they consist of sound waves of different lengths. Long waves constitute the notes#ff low pitch. Short waves constitute those of high pitch. In the same way. the color of light depends upon its wave length. Red light is composed of the longest waves. Violet light is composed of the shortest. Oi course, light waves are not waves in the air, as are sound waves, but waves in the ether of space. White hgh* is a bund.e of waves, including all the wave lengths from red to violet. Now when light passes through a glass prism it is bent. The technical word for the phenomenon is difftaction. But the amount that a beam of light is bent or diffracted depends upon Us wave lengths. Consequently, when a beam of mixed waves goes through a prism, it is sorted out into a hand.

‘INDIANA’S GIFTS TO GOVERNMENT’

Scholarly Albert J. Beveridge—Born Thirty Years Too Soon

This, (hr fourth of a series of articles on Hoosier Statesmen, concerns beloved Albert J. Bereridee. statesman and scolar. 9 0 0 BY DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staff Writer HEADING any list of Indiana's representative men is the name of Albert j Beveridge, statesman and scholar, whose middle initial stood for Jeremiah. At the turn of the century, his Jeremiads were being hurled in the senate and had his progressivism been recalled by his party when the country turned from Coolidge conservatism, the G. O. P. might still have been in power. It took another, newer Roosevelt and the Democratic party to turn the trick. In the interim the great Senator Beveridge had passed on, leaving behind a record of aristocratic leadership based on character and ability. His literary fame is enshrined in an American classic, “The Life of John Marshall," which made that great chief justice live even more vividly than when he presided over the United States supreme court and molded the destiny of the nation. Author Beveridge’s second great masterpiece, “The Life of Lincoln,” was published posthumously. He died April 7, 1927.

The author-senator himself is the subject of an American bio-graphical-historical classic written by another famed Hoosier, Claude Bowers, ardent Democrat, now neaw deal ambassador to Spain. “Beverage and the Progressive Era ” was the title chosen for the Bowers’ book, which became a best seller upon publication. 9 9 0 Albert jeremiah Beveridge was born in Highland county, Ohio, Oct. 6, 1862. His father served in the union army and at the close of the Civil war, the family removed to Sullivan, 111. Through the roles of ploughboy, railroad laborer, teamster and logger, he made his way through high school and De Pauw university, where he graduated in 1885. The college graduate then became a cowboy, but a year in the west was sufficient and he returned to Indianapolis to study law in the office of McDonald and Butler. De Pauw had discovered that the future senator was an orator and this gift caused him to rise rapidly in both his chosen profession and G. O. P. politics. He was in demand as a popular speaker throughout Indiana and in 1896 attracted national notice by his reply to a speech by Governor Altgeld of Illinois. 0 0 0 FOUR formidable candidates confronted him in the senatorial election of 1899, and the politicians freely predicted that the young man w r ith his gift of oratory had little chance. Bui. as sometimes happens, the politicians were w’rong. Not only was the popular, young orator elected to the United States senate, but his snlendid record there gave him the re-elec-tion in 1905. Climax of his early political career came in the year 1912. It

*‘T tI-NELLIE” is a lot of fun and excitement regardless of whether JnL you are in the newspaper business or not. The day is to come when the newspaper reporter and his editors are accurately portrayed upon the talking screen.

“Hi-Nellie” is not realism of the city room on a great city paper. It is melodrama and mighty good theater at that. Nellie is the name of the sob sister who writes the daily answers to the heartbroken of the large city. Nellie goes stale and her editors know it. Paul Muni is cast as the managing editor of the sheet. It is on the up and up and has faith in a man accused of causing a great bank to close with a tremendous shortage. For that reason, Muni plays the story down and his boss, the editor, calls him and tells him he is a fool to muff such a story. a a a MUNI is canned, but maintains that he has a $15,000 a year contract and he will sticK. The boss consults his lawyers and finds that Muni must stay on. but he can assign nim to any job from copy boy up. The big boss nurses his grudge and puts Muni in the chair of the heartbroken editor. Muni goes cu a rampage and finally settles down in Nellie's chair. Every place he goes, Muni is hailed as “Hi. Nellie.'' I know that no managing editor would dare to talk to his editor and publisher as Muni does. I know that the city room is no picnic ground. I know that people on the staff just don't go visiting as they do in this movie. And yet all of these violations of the rules of a city room help to put punch, speed, suspense and theater into the yarn. Muni first rebels and finally learns that hundreds of people are taking his column in earnest. He sees the light and goes to work making his department the sensation of the paper. a a a ALL the time he is working with his reporter pal, played by Ned Sparks in his best frozen face manner, on the disappearance of Canfield, an honest lawyer whom politicians were trying to make the goat in the bank crash. One day. a girl comes to “Nellie” for advice and the address of her sweetie is the same that Canfield gave his wife on the night of his disappearance. Then things begin to happen. Muni, after a series of tight spots, learns that Canfield has been

In the course of one of his speeches in that campaign, Senator Beveridge, in arraigning the subtle and corrupt influences that so often perverted and stultified the old political parties, coined the phrase concerning the power of “the invisible government.” A rare, descriptive choice of words, the phrase entered the political language and still is heard today. How true it could become, in a very literal use, was later demonstrated in his own state during the era of Ku-Klux Klan domination of the G. O. P. An old warrior, he entered the lists against this foe. 000 ONLY once more did he run again for public office, however. That was in 1920, when he sought the senate seat, only to lose to former Governor Samuel M. Ralston, who had defeated him for the governorship in 1912 on the Democratic ticket.

Glenda Farrell does a striking job of the original Nellie who got fed up on the job. Muni is melodramatic theater all of the time.

Writer for The Times Books Jaunt to Virgin Islands; Finds Others Have Same Idea. BY' GEORGE ABELL Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.—Everybody is doing it today. Doing what? Going to the Virgin islands. • Since everybody is going, the editor of Capital Capers, being nothing but a sheep who follows the herd or the flock or the covey or whatever it is, decided to go there, too. Hence, when these lines are read I will be aboard the S. S. Georgic of the White Star Line, bound for the land of sunshine and alligators. (Or is it alligator pears?)

In any event, there is little doubt that the Virgin islands are the land of promise, to judge by the crowd of passengers now en route to that part of the world. First of all, Governor Paul Pearson of the Virgin islands, who has been in Washington on official business, flew back to St. Thomas on Tuesday night. “Why are you taking a plane, Governor?” I asked. “So I can meet you with a brass band when you arrive,” replied the kindly Quaker. I thought there was a twinkle in his eye, but couldn't be certain. Anyhow, if the brass band doesn't show up, my readers shall hear of it. a a a A DISTINGUISHED visitor to the islands in the very near future will be Mrs. Roosevelt, who is taking a lot of people with her. My guess is that Oscar Chapman, assistant secretary of the interior, and Harry Hopkins, federal ad-

ministrator, may be of the party. President Roosevelt is planning to go, but no date for his visit has been set. Charles Taussig of the brain trust, and his very charming wife, are going on the same boat with me. -..t’s going down to handle the rum industry for Uncle Sam and generally turn things topsy turvy. I wired Charles and asked him where his stateroom was going to be on the Georgic. He wired back “I'll let you know as soon as I know myself.” He hasn’t let me know yet, so my guess is that he’s dodging me. But I’ll probably corner him in the bar sampling Jamaica or Cuban rum. Some diplomats are also sailing on the Georgic. So far, I only know of the financial counselor of the Rumanian legation and Mme. George Boncesco, but there may be others. Mme. Boncesco is bringing her monocle on the cruise, and George plans to study Rumania's internal condition—unless a rough wave or so should render internal conditions on the boat too disconcerting. When I bought my ticket to St. Thomas, the girl who sold it remarked: “So you are going, too. You are about the tenth person so far who’s bound for the Virgin islands. That man in the gray suit who just went out is a St. Thomas passenger also.” . “Who is he?” I asked. Someone said he was a detective. a a a FROM the islands, after a personal investigation of the qualities of St. Croix rum, I expect to take a steamer or plane to Puerto Rico, and thence to the Dominican republic and Haiti. Just how things will work out in this itinerary, it’s hard to tell. But it should be interesting writing about the people, politics, sunshine, scenery and so on. There will be little attempt at coherence (no—cohesion is what I mean) in the column, but It will ramble on about whatever seems to present itself. Which I hope sincerely will prove of interest to Washingingtonians during the Lenten season. P. & E. AGENTS NAMED M. E. Ingalls Will Assume New Position Thursday. M. E. Ingalls, Indianapolis, has been appointed general agent of the Peoria & Eastern railway, it was announced today by D. H. Hutchinson. general freight agent. Mr. Ingalls, former city freight agent, will take over his new duties here Thursday. Other appointments are those of W. M. Snow, who was made general agent for the P. fe E. in Peoria, ill., and E. N. Smith, to the position of commercial agent in Pittsburgh.

He was in the midst of his second volume on Lincoln when he died at his Indianapolis home, following a short illness. Political, social and literary leaders bowed in grief at his grave. His shining example still beacons to bright young men who read his books and that of his friend, Claude Bowers.

Fair Enough • By Westbrook Pegler NOT for a long time will you be seeing any pictures in the news reels of a troupe of vaudeville Indians hopping around the steps of the New Yoifc city hall, jingling sleigh bells and hollering Wah-Hoo Wah while the chief jams a lot of poultry feather on to the mayor's brow and inducts him into the tribe. The current mayor of New York. Mr, La Guardia, has more important business. A year ago Mr. La Guardia was a member of the

army of the unemployed. Occupied with serious business of the country as a member of congress. he forgot to attend to his baby-kissing at campaign time and was voted out of office. But now Mr. La Guardia has the second greatest job in the United States as mayor of a city of 7.000.000 people which spends almost $2,000,000 a day on its government. There are 147,000 employes under him and he is engaged in a fight for the authority to fire the political loafers among them and to reduce the cost of running the city. The city hall is much changed nowadays. There are not as many fat

limousines lined up in the Plaza as there were in the time of Jimmy Walker and John O’Brien, although there still are too many, at that, when you consider that private employers don’t feel called upon to furnish limousines for their hired help. If a visiting dignitary is a real dignitary he can arrange to see the mayor for a minute but Mr. La Guardia will just shake his hand and explain that the bunting and music and keys to the city have been abolished in the interests of economy and add that anyway they never did mean any more than the brief, personal welcome which he is now extending. 0 0 9 “t his Way Out, Please ’ AND this way out. please. It is hard to explain a change in atmosphere, but in Jimmy's time the atmosphere was one of flippant cynicism, and in poor John O’Brien’s time it was one of the foolish pathos. Just now there is an air of belligerency and of hell being raised. Perhaps by the time Mr. La Guardia’s term runs out he will not have enough political friends left to carry a precinct for him. But he had something to say in a speech to a lot of business men today which suggested that either he doesn’t care what happens to him four years hence or hopes to build up a sufficient personal following of genuinely grateful voters to swing another election for him without an organized machine. He said an office holder could not do justice to his job if he went at his work thinking of re-election. He may be too shrewd to place any confidence in the gratitude or the intelligence of the voters. It was the voters who didn’t send him back to congress and the voters did elect Walker and O'Brien. I do not think a man of Mr. La Guardia’s experience would be likely to entertain any sentimental ideas about the voters. Most likely, bold, truculent and self-confident as he is, Fiorello isn’t bothering about his future. He always can make a living, anyway, and from the look of him in his black suit and black hat, which might be his one and only black suit and hat, you would gather that he is a man who can get along on very little.

Why Waste Time? HIS obsession is to reduce the city’s running expense of almost $2,000,000 a day and if there is a vindictive joy in his way of going about, that can be understood. It must be fun at that, for a man to walk on a gang of burglars and heave them out the windows and possibly jail up a few cf them. Mr. La Guardia yet might be able to jail up a few, although that is something which seldom happens in American cities and, in the long run. he probably will have to be content with the satisfaction of just showing them up, throwing them out, and saving the money which they have been paying themselves. He saves time too. They were discussing some bill the other day and there seemed to be no dissenting voice so Mr. La Guardia suggested a vote. But then one man said he wanted to discuss a certain phase, which is a weakness of statesmen everywhere. “Are you for it or against it?” Mr. La Guardia asked. “I am for it,” said the statesman, “but ” “But nothing,” said Fiorello. “If we are all for it, let’s pass it and not waste time talking.” Bob Miner, the Communist, came in with a delegation of three Negroes and another white man to complain that a police captain punched him twice in the center during the row around the Austrian consulate. Mr. Minor is getting along in years and he can’t take them down there any more. He wanted his rights so he had called around to take up the time of a good man who is just as warm a pal of the workingman as he is and a lot more to enter one of these complaints. Well, Mr. La Guardia told him he would have somebody look into it and Mr. Minor went away still upset and still sore around his center and still determined to kick up all possible nuisance in a city which has troubles of its own over something which happened to the Socialists in Vienna.

Your Health BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN

CAN you see at night? If not, you may have what was recognized as an unusual symptom thousands of years ago. In the time of Hippocrates, the great Greek who founded the modern science of medicine, the taking of liver and honey was found to be a cure. Within recent years, the definite relationship of the disease to certain errors of diet has been established and the condition now can be controlled definitely. This condition is the earliest sign of a deficiency of Vitamin A in the diet. When the deficiency is complete and long continued. a more serious condition of inflammation of the eyes develops, called xerophthalmia. This condition is, however, extremely rare in the United States. In Europe, particularly after the World war, when there was a shortage of butter and fresh fats, xerohthalirna occurred frequently both in adults and children. a a a YOUR body may develop a deficiency of Vitamin A in a variety of ways. First, the vegetables and fats known to contain this substance may not be included in the diet; second, there may be some disease of the intestines which prevents Vitamin A being absorbed from the food and from being stored in the liver; third, there are periods in life during rapid growth or during the infectious diseases when the vitamins are used up rapidly. Recently a case has been recorded of a civil engineer who developed a disease of the bowel which made it impossible for him to absorb food suitably. He had developed night blindness, the first sign of which he noticed when the street lights appeared amber-colored and dim. He noticed also that when coming from outdoors into the house he would be unable to see details for five or six minutes. The condition occurred every two or three days. a a a THIS patient was given a generous diet, which contained reasonably large quantities of milk, butter, and fresh vegetables. He ate large amounts of these and yet did not recover from his night blindness. Eventually, however, an operation was performed to take care of the bowel condition and after this he was able to absorb sufficient amounts of th* ■' i,min and was cured. V
