ftSeemioMe HEVtWMJN "IIfHEN I get low in my mind I endeavor to T rai.se myself up by my own bootstraps by patting myself on the back. I will admit that this contortion is a difficult physical feat. It is also an arduous mental process. I do not succeed. The attempt is made in the presence of one or two well-wishers, and it begins by my saying, "Well, in spite of all my faults and crimes, they’ll have to admit when I die that I was a good newspaper man.” There is nc\er any response to this challenge, and I suddenly realize that in all probability they will not have to admit anything of the sort. Waiving other dlsquahfications. I am lorever barrea from the company of distinguished news gatherers by a

fatal flaw in temperament. I can never achieve detachment. One side of the story is all that ever swims into my vision. In twenty-five years there has been no improvement. nan Wrong From the Start 'T'HE first assignment ever -*■ handed to me was a lecture at the Museum of Natural History on "The Rise and Fall of the Sabre-Toothed Tiger.” The city editor said a hundred words would be sufficient unless a sabre-toothed tiger came into the room and bit the professor.

Heywood Broun

Possibly it was that casual quip of my chief which started me off in the wrong direction. I came back and wrote a column and a half, none of which got into the paper. No tiger having appeared. I attempted to bite the professor myself. He had enraged me by his calm contempt for all extinct animals. And this was particularly so, since he blamed their decadence on their size. He seemed to think it was better to cower and run and survive as a rabbit than live the short, but magnificent life of a mammoth. Then I was shifted to sports and took -up the highly unethical practice of sitting in the press box and rooting for the home team. If Babe Ruth knocked a baseball right over the flagpole in center field it was still considered good form for the newspaper men to take the incident in their stride and betray no emotion. You were supposed to be a little brother to the Sioux and the Spartan. Once at the top of the Yale Bowl my confreres sent me a round robin asking me to refrain from shouting. "Block that kick!” They said it interlercd with the men tending wires, and would I please get the hell out of there or sit in the cheering section. U tt tt A Reporter Is Gravely Tempted BUT in all my days I never came quite so close to a grass violation of professional ethics as at the second session of the Wirt hearing It began when McGugin of Kansas began to heckle Mary Taylor on cross-examination. Miss Taylor had been mentioned only once in the testimony of the good Dr. Wirt. He had identified her as a red revolutionist by the simple statement, "She nodded her head.” It seemed to me monstrous that so slight a gesture should involve a diffident young woman in the ordeal of facing Klieg lights, cameramen and a congressman from Kansas equipped with a lot of silly questions. McGugin sat only two feet away from the press table, and when he began roaring at the witness and distorting her straightforward answers I was under a great temptation. Only by the supreme exercise of what I facetiously call my will power could I refrain from touching him on the elbow and saying, "Remember you are the gentleman from Kansas.” Os course. I don’t like Dr. Wirt, which is hardly a distinction likely to win anybody a silver cup. Even the more impassive members of the press did betray in their countenances some little suggestion of the feeling that he was not precisely the sort of man you would care to take home to dinner. Asa person who has been stagestruck for year? I have spent hours practicing facial expression in front of a mirror. One of my best is:—Expression 64—Leer denoting extreme contempt. I tried to catch the doctor's eye, but he kept it fixed on a spot in the ceiling. At the moment Robert Bruere was on the stand and accusing the Gary educator of bearing false witness against his neighbors. tt a A Private Cross-Examination WHEN the hearing ended I walked up 10 Dr. Wirt and said: “There is a rumor about that an effort may be made to indict you for perjury. In that event will Senator Reed be your counsel?” Dr. Wirt blinked and blushed and said. "You will have to see Senator Reed.” “Doctor,” I continued, “how do you reconcile the fact that the testimony offered today by six witnesses under oath flatly contradicts your own statements in this hearing last week?” It may be that I was beyond the ethical* rights of a newspaper man in conducting thus private heckling expedition of my own. and yet I am not sorry. Dr. Wirt’s answer will remain in my memory book. The four-hour monologist of the Virginia dinner blinked once more and replied. “I have nothing to say.” • Copvriehi. 1934, by The Timrsi

Your Health

BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIX

WHENEVER your body is invaded by poisons of perms, it begins to develop substances which oppose the effects of these poisons. These substances. which circulate in the serum of the blood, are known as antitoxins. If your body does not develop sufficient amounts of strong antitoxins to oppose the poison, you are likely to develop serious complications and perhaps die from the effects of the poisons. Modern science, however, takes advantage of this now knowledge and helps the body by giving it antitoxins developed in the body of an animal, like the horse. Thus horses may be injected with the poisons from the scarlet fever streptococcus and after a time the serum of the horse contains the antitoxins. The serum then can be withdrawn and injected into the patient who has scarlet fever. Use of this substance in many thousands of cases indicates that it has real virtues in shortening the artack of scarlet fever and in lessening the number of complications. m m n IF you once have had scarlet fever you are not likely to catch it again, because the antisubstances that you have developed remain in your body and prevent you irom having the disease again. The person who has not had scarlet fever, however. may not develop these antibodies. Therefore, modern medicine helps the body to form antisubstances without having an attack of scarlet fever. What it really does is to give the patient a very mild dose of scarlet fever toxin developed from the germs that cause the disease. In the modern system. five very small doses are injected underneath the skin one week apart. These stimulate the body to produce antisubstances against the poison. The antisubstances may then circulate in the blood for several years and while they are in the body, the patient does not develop scarlet fever. n a m A SKIN test has been developed by doctors to find which persons are likely to get scarlet fever when exposed to it and which are not likely to get it. The condition of being not likely to contract a disease called immunity. Thf skin test is simple. Avery small amount of the toxic substances is injected underneath the skin. If the person tested has enough antisubstance in his blood to protect him against the disease, the skin doea not appear to be changed. If. however, he doea not have enough antibodies, a pink spot will develop at the point where the injection was made. People who thus develop a pink spot need to have the five injections of the scarlet fever toxin, to stimulate them into development of the necessary antisubstances.

CHINA—SICK DOWAGER OF ASIA

With Japan mounding anew sharp warning to the world to stop interfering in Chinese affairs, this series of articles by William Philip Simms, famed ScrippsHoward foreign editor, as of especial interest pnd timeliness. This is the second ar.icle of the series on China, written on Simm's world tour for The Time*. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Scripps-Howard Foreign Editor • Copyright. 1934. bv NEA Service. Inc.) PEIPING, April 23.—France, with the world's greatest colonial empire next to Great Britain’s, has her eyes on a slice of China as big as the thirteen original American colonies. Imperturbably, the French are watching every move made on the Asiatic chessboard by Japan, Britain, Russia, and even China, in Central Asia and elsewhere, so that no possible turn of the deli-cately-poised balance will catch her napping. If China blows up, or is torn asunder by the ever-increasing pressure from without. France will be on hand for her share of the spoils. Her sphere of influence or zone of special interest is the territory of Yunnan and Kwangsi on French Indo-China’s northern frontier, the Luichow peninsula and the Island of Hainan at the peninsula’s point. Given the island and the peninsula, the Gulf of Tonsin, which she already dominates, would be as French as Long Island Sound is American. And France strategically would occupy a position in the Far East second to none save Japan. a a a YUNNAN is the second largest of the eighteen provinces of China proper. In area it is almost 150,000 square miles. Kwangsi is nearly as large. With Hainan and the neighboring peninsula—on which France controls the leased territory Kwangchau-wan—the total area amounts to approximately 350,000 square miles. Roughly, it corresponds to all New England, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina. South Carolina and Georgia. The Occidental as yet but faintly grasps the enormous size of Asia. France Is not at all excited over Japan's encroachments in the north. She appears but mildly interested in what the British are doing in the “God Land” of Tibet, or the maneuvers of the other powers down in the hell-hole of Chinese Turkestan. If there is to be anew scramble for "concessions” at the expense of China. France has her bit already staked out. There is a tacit understanding between the French rooster and the British lion in southern and western China. Burma, bordering Yunnan on the west, was once part of Cl\ina. Now it is British, just as Indo-China is French. But some time ago, when the lion proposed to extend his railroad—which runs across Burma, via Mandalay, to the Yunnan border—on into China to connect with the head of navigation on the

Foreigners complain that their shipments take weeks or months to reach their destination in Yunnan, and they suffer considerable loss from breakage. On the other hand, they observe, .

Ywangsi, the province east of Yunnan, has not yet felt France's influence to any great extent. France has no railway there. She does have a line from Hanoi, however, as far as the Kwangsi border, and a concession for a railroad connecting the head of the Gulf of Tonkin with Yunnan-fu. So, beginning with Korea and Manchuria, and continuing in a stupendous semi-circle through Mongolia, Sinkiang, Tibet, Yunnan and Kwangsi, the great powers are pressing in on China, closer and closer.

fair Enough WEMOKKiS THE CWA was courting trouble when It decided to hire unemployed artists to depict the American scene and the suppression by the navy of the drawing called ' The Fleet's In” probably is the mere beginning of the row. The picture depicts sailors making merry along Riverside drive. New York, and Mr. Cadmus, the artist, claims he drew it from memory as one who had lived along the drive for years The American scene is a big order, fraught with

controversy, for an artist claims the right to depict things as he sees them. Then, an artist so down on his luck as to welcome a few weeks’ work on the euphemized dole, devised by the treasury department strictly as a relief measure and not to meet any urgent need for pain-ing. is likely to have seen the country in a gloomy light. An artist painting pictures on a definite commission for a SIO,OOO fee appropriated by the naval affairs committee, might have done a more pleasant phase of the navy's activities in New York. But you get no more than you pay for and a cheap portrait is likely to show warts or moles

which an artist working for a higher price would have the tact to overlook. Tact costs extra. The government did not deem it necessary to say so at the time, but the fact was, nevertheless, that paintings were a luxury which the country could have struggled along very well without any more of for a long time. The bills were running up and if the country had been going along on a typical household plan of economy the government would have made a stab at getting by somehow on the pictures already on hand. If the administration had decided not to buy any, that decision would have been the last thing the Republicans would try to use for a major political issue in 1936. a tt tt Artists Paint as They Feel BUT they were building roads, bridges and streets to replace others which still had some years of use left in them and the literary profession was doing very well in many little hide-away jobs on the bureau pay rolls in Washington so the poor artist, gnawing on the heel of a loaf in his garret, seemed to be the victim of discrimination. Granted that the country didn't really need paintings or could wait until better times to buy them, there were thase who said the nation also could get along with the roads and bridges already in existence and could see things through with much less official publicity. That was how things were and how the government. at such a time, decided that the cost of making some artists happy would add little to the grand total already scribbled on the cuff. The trouble with artists is that they are likely to paint as they feel and don’t feel happy on a dole. But if you hire a jobless writer to be your press agent he writes beautiful things about you or your show regardless of his honest opinion. No journalist working for the government would turn out a page of copy as candid as Mr. Cadmus’ picture of the sailors in New York even if he thought in his heart that the new deal was a great lot of foolishness. If he thought that he would think it strictly on his own time—from 9:30 a. m. to 4 p. m.. by the office clock, he would think the new deal was swell. a a a Picture Might Be Famous Yet T l HE artists are likely to turn in a pretty reliable version of the American scene in the first year of the new deal and the fifth of the depression. Some of these pictures will give serious offense locally, no doubt, but the plan of distribution could be adjusted to preserve them from destruction. There are cities in Florida which would delight to own CWA painting depicting earthquakes in €outhern California or death and devastation from floods in regions where such scenes are typical. But Los Angeles, in the same spirit of rivalry, would welcome works of art revealing the east coast of Florida as a drinking and gambling center. Both kinds would be typical of the American scene and both would provoke indignant squawks from the taxpayers in the communities concerned. The taxpayer when he creates a dole job for an artist doesn’t want much truth. He wants pretty pictures of his own town and he won’t much care for his bargain when he surveys the scene as the artists saw it on $25 a week. But in years to come this might be regarded as good art. Dickens’ early description of the American scene was more literal than pleasant, but people can read it calmly now as an historical record. (Copyright. 1934, by United Features Syndicate. Inc.)

Today's Science

BY DAVID DIETZ

THE M’orld is noM' living through the most exciting period in the history of physics, says Dr. Henry A. Barton, director of the American Institute of Physics. “This is an amazing time to be alive,” he added. “The people of thus generation are lucky.” Dr. Barton believes that the discoveries being made in the world of physics today are more important. far-reaching, and exciting, than those which came at the end of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the the twentieth. Those discoveries included X-rays, radio-activity and radium, and opened the ways for the marvelous development of twentieth century physics. The work of the last few years deals with the inner core, or heart of the atom, the so-called nucleus of the atom, and gives definite hope for the first time for the realization of tw'o old scientific dreams. One is the ancient alchemist’s dream of transmuting one element into another. The other is the more modern dream of releasing atomic energy. The only question involved in the realization of these dreams, in Dr. Barton’s estimates, is for scientists to improve their “atomic marksmanship.” a a a AT the beginning of the present century, physicists were acquainted only with the negative electrons Mhich form the outer shell of an atom. They felt that there must be positive electricity somewhere in the atom, but could not prove it. Then came Lord Rutherford's epochal study of radium which proved that the atom possessed a central nucleus in which the positive electricity was concentrated. A little later came the discovery of the positive particle or proton. But the nucleus of the atom remained a tight little fortress which defied all attempts of scientists to penetrate it. Beginning, about 1930, however, the fortress was captured. Scientists succeeded in cracking open the nucleus, and the new branch of science, known as nuclear physics or sometimes nuclear chemistry, came into existence. It was ushered in by the experiments of Cockroft and Walton in 1930. They used protons to bombard the atoms of lithium. They found that the proton, Mhich is the nucleus of a hydrogen atom, united Mith the lithium atom which then split in two, becoming two alpha particles or helium atoms. Here was the first example of nuclear chemistry, an atom of hydrogen and an atom of lithium uniting to form two atoms of helium. That same year. Dr. Barton points out, Bothe and Becker noted the emission of new types of particles in atomic bombardments. These were isolated and identified two years later by Chadwick as neutral particles of subatomic size and given the name of the neutron. On Aug. 2, 1932, Dr. Carl D. Anderson of the California Institute of Technology discovered yet another new particle, namely the positive electron or positron.
