Today's Science By David Dietz TODAY, a chemical laboratory is considered a necessary building upon every university campus. Yet it was only about 150 years ago that college authorities first concluded that chemistry was of sufficient importance to justify its inclusion in the curriculum. Some interesting facts about the rapid rise of chemistry and its influence upon education are pointed out by Dr. William McPherson, professor of chemistry and dean of the graduate school at Ohio State university. “Early in the last century, chemistry was a required study in the course of liberal arts at Columbia, Harvard and Princeton,” he tells. “This new-born infant, however, was not received with any great cordiality into the family of studies that had long constituted the essentials for the baccalaureate degree. There were times when there was some fear as to whether it would survive the rigors of doubt and suspicion to which it was exposed.” tt tt tt YEARS were to pass before laboratory work—now the normal adjunct of every high school as well as college course in chemistry—was considered a normal part of the work in chemistry. Asa sample of the change in conditions, Dr. McPherson calls attention to the reports of a professor of chemistry of fifty years ago in a university which today has a laboratory costing more than $1,000,000 and in which more than 3,000 students now are studying chemistry. This is what the professor of fifty years ago wrote: “Five students took the course in general chemistry; in analytical chemistry we have two students, one of whom is ready to begin his course in quantitative analysis. “At present the chemical library of the university consists of Watt's dictionary—a valuable work, but not fully supplying our needs. We have begun to take a chemical journal. “A chemical hall is needed. This need not be an expensive structure.” tt tt tt BUT the march of scientific discovery and the consequent arrival of the Machine Age have brought about anew condition today. Dr. McPherson says: "Opposition to the study of science gradually gave way and interest grew apace, so that the present century and especially the last decade has witnessed a growth in the appreciation of chemistry and in the provisions for its study in our schools and colleges far beyond any expectations. “laboratories, a number of them costing in excess of $1,000,000, have been built and furnished with all the equipment necessary for instruction and j research. “The enrollment has increased correspondingly. I In the twenty-nine universities belonging to the Association of American Universities there were J registered in one or more courses of chemistry during | the last year more than 25,000 students.”

SEES FRENCH ROYALIST TRIUMPH

Paris Will Turn to Monarchy ‘Very Soon,’ls Belief of Pretender

BY MORRIS GILBERT Times-NEA Service Staff Writer BRUSSELS, June 18.—Rudyard Kipling wrote a story called “The Man Who Would Be King.” Here is a story of a man who may be king—provided that will-power, training and forces of the time in France work for him. He is the count of Paris, 25, direct descendant of Hugh Capet, who ruled Fiance almost 1,000 year ago; of Saint Louis; of Henry IV; “le Vert Galant”; of Louis Phillippe; scion of the most famous royal house in Europe, the House of Bourbon. The count of Paris “will reign” after his father, of course. For the Count is Dauphin. It is his father, the Due de Guise, who would rule as Jean 111 if France should turn again to monarchy. Asked how soon he thought this would happen, the count of Paris answered: “Very soon. If you could estimate the quantity and the quality of evidence which my father and I receive of how weary France is of the present regime, you would be astonished.” Pressed to mention his idea of a definite period still to pass' before the change might take place, the count firmly answered, “A maximum of five or six years.”

The count of Paris received this correspondent in his study at the Manor of Anjou as a guest. There was no formality. When the visitor forgot to address his host as “Monseigneur” it didn’t seem to make any difference. Only once was there direct indication that protocol existed. That was when, the talk finished, the count stepped through the doorway of his study first. But in the hall, outside, he dropped back casually on even terms with his visitor. tt tt a THE Manor of Anjou is a fivemile ride from the center of Brussels. The estate, leafy and charming, is surrounded .by a brick wall. The count’s study is a plain room, simply furnished. One wall is filled with maps of France on rollers. The count came rapidly into the room, shook hands firmly and cheerfully, and said: “Isn’t it cold? Would you like whisky, port or sherry?” He spoke a precise and fluent English. The count is built like an athlete, broad of shoulder, narrow of waist. His wrists are powerful and his hands big and capable. They are the hands of a man of action who, unless otherwise occupied, would be an excellent mechanic.

The DAILY WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND By Drew Pearson and Robert S. Allen

WASHINGTON, June 18.—Few of the people who fought to get into the senate caucus room the other day, or strained their ears to catch the words of Professor Rexford Guy Tugwell, caught the significance of the show they were watching. To most it was a political free-for-all, a bull-baiting performance with Senators Byrd and Smith waving a red flag in the face of the No. 1 brain truster trying to get him to acknowledge Red allegiance. Actually it was one of the most significant incidents which has occurred since March 4, 1933. It explains: Why Roosevelt went through such a desperate struggle in the attempt to get his congressional floor leaders to go down the line on the Wagner labor bill. Why the Democratic house banking committee, at the behest of building and loan association lobbyists, emasculated the President’s housing program. Why the President’s old age pension and unemployment insurance plans failed of consideration this session, had to be laid over until next year with a face-saving message which was chiefly a stump speech. Why the appointment of Dr. Willard L. Thorp was withdrawn, despite the fact that for nine months he had filled with signal competence his post as director of the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce.

It explains, in short, why the biggest test of the New Deal comes from the party supposed t keep it in power. It explains also why the Democratic party in recent years has been generally more successful in municipal and state elections than the G. O. P, but at the same time failed to put any one in the White House. nan NO other single incident in the past year so clearly and definitely reveals to the public light what an inchoate, unwieldy, conflicting, highly individualistic mass this thing called the Democratic party really is. In the true sense of the word it is not a national party. It is an aggregate of sectional, local, and above all, personal elements—including some of the most brilliant, able, idealistic leaders in congress—always tempted by the pull of sectionalism and personality. It is of profound significance that Cleveland, Wilson, and Franklin Roosevelt, each was swept into office on waves of internal upheaval and unrest. The great mass of the electorate wanted anew deal, a change of faces and names, and turned to the only political alternative, a Democrat. The party, of course, claimed the victory. But it wasn’t the party that was elected. It was the forthright Cleveland, the reforming Wilson, and the New Deal Roosevelt. & u 8 Opposition to confirmation of Tugwell as undersecretary of agriculture was not a matter of principle or even politics. It was purely personal. The Democrats who raised the hue and cry against him were: Harry Flood Byrd, wealthy Virginia land-owner, one of the greatest apple-orchardists in the country, and a vigorous opponent of crop reduction. Josiah William Bailey, wealthy corporation lawyer from North Carolina, and an outstanding Democratic critic of the New Deal. Ellison (Cotton Ed) Smith, South Carolina cotton planter, an old, bombastic party wheel-horse, who just now is the subject ot considerable comment, both in his state and Washington, as a result of the disclosure that he has two daughters, and a prospective son-in-law, on the congressional pay roll. One of the daughters has been living in South Carolina. The appointment t>f the concededly able and attractive Tugwell was not really at stake. There was no question of either his ability or character. What these three old guarders were striking at, the objective of ire and antics, was the. New Deal, more specifically the man in the White House who personifies the New Deal. All through the special session session last year, and the six months of legislative activity this year, these men, plus others on the Democratic side in both branches of congress, have fretted and muttered against Rooseveltian liberal policies, sometimes openly voted with old guard Republicans in opposition. Cotton Ed has been sore for some time. And chiefly because

In fact, he is one. and an aviator, carrying a French pilot’s license. ‘He rides, plays tennis and swims. Students of French history say the count of Paris recalls his Capetian ancestors in appearance, which is striking. His forehead is wide, his cheekbones high, nose straight and fine. He has extraordinary eyes. They are long and almond-shaped, fringed with heavy lashes, deeply blue, friendly and keen. tt a u THE count sat down and began describing in detail the tragic Feb. 6 in the Place de la Concorde in Paris. He told what was done and what was not done, and how, and why. “You talk English,” he said, “and I talk French. We can keep our ideas clearer that way.” He analyzed the political situation in France, as it concerns his father’s chances of entering Paris some day as Jean 111. He referred to his father as “papa.” News from “home” reaches the manor often, and nowadays it is pretty good news for the dwellers there, unless they badly deceived. Centers of royalism in France are working among the

‘Pshaw!’ She Says * The Woman Reporter Finds Out That Those Stag Parties Are Tame Affairs, After All.

BY HELEN LINDSAY Times Staff Writer ANOTHER illusion has vanished. It’s as disappointing as the explosion of the Santa Claus myth, and the realization that the handsome young man in the drug store wears a toupe. Men’s stag parties really aren’t the wicked affairs that wives and sweethearts have been led to believe. The woman reporter found that out recently.

There was an invitation for three persons from the office to attend a stag party and only two reporters could be found without previous engagements. The two offered the “femme” a chance to accompany them. She took them up. She had heard about these parties indirectly before. There had been rumors of dancers, naughty movies, and off color jokes. The rumors had her worried. The scene of the party wasn’t appalling. It was merely a summer cottage, near a stream. There were honeysuckles climbing on the fence, and swings and chairs in the shade of huge trees. tt a a SHOUTS came from the rear of the cottage. One of the guests came limping around the corner, explaining that he had intercepted a horseshoe in the game under way. He was a wellknown lawyer. There were genial, plump men sitting in lawn swings, discussing the possibilities of the coming political campaigns. Under the grape arbor there were tubs of ice, with bottles wedged in them. But the main feature of the party was in the rear of the yard. There, flanked on one side by an orderly vegetable garden, was an open-air stove. There were sizzling steaks, steaming hot dogs, great kettles of baked beans and spaghetti. There were huge platters of sliced tomatoes, a<id quantities of green onions and radishes. But there were no dancers; no naughty movies, and the stories might have served as bedtime tales for the smallest youngsters. tt tt tt THE woman reporter ate steak with huge chunks of cinders in it. She ate it because the other guests not only cooked for her, but stood by, like small boys, for her approval.

all the way from southern France, spent two nights in trains, a few hours with us, and went home again. Miners from northern France came up, too, and factory workers. We had a group of school teachers here not long ago.” Other visitors are industrialists and business men, anxious to learn the royalist way out of the dilemma which—according to the royalist doctrine —the present regime has posed for France. It happens that the count’s mind is turning toward the corporative type of government with much curiosity. The corporative program of Fascist Italy interests him greatly. Theorists of the royalist movement in France in fact claim the corporative idea as monarchic in origin, having been in practice in France before being overthrown by the revolution. tt tt tt THE Due de Giuse and the count of Paris having accepted their full obligations as claimants of the throne are automatically exiled by a law of the republic, passed in 1886. Should they renounce these claims they could live in Paris, or anywhere else they chose in their native land. The count of Paris could fly over France and land at any airport he pleased—instead of skirting the frontier as he recently did on a flight to Switzerland from Belgium. Instead of which, in the manor of Anjou the ancient motto of the royal house of France is cut boldly into the stone of the great fireplace “MONT JOIE SAINTDENIS.” At the entrance gates of the estate, the regal fleur-de-lys is worked in metal into the lamps, and the lamps themselves are topped with crowns. And over the highest tower of the manor a flag gallantly floats. But it should be noted that the flag is not the white “oriflamme” of the old French royalty. It is the tricolor!

She left early, just after a deck chair had collapsed with one of the city’s leading politicians, and while the horseshoe game was at its height. Disappointment must have shown in her face. She wished she could have whispered in the ears of all the wondering wives of those men who attended the stag party. “Don’t ever worry about them any more,” she would have told them. “When men go to stag parties, they merely are reverting to their childhood.” She wouldn’t have been surprised to have seen them practicing Boy Scout knots, along with their outdoor cooking. For the stag party that the woman reporter attended reminded her very strongly of a boys’ game of “Cowboys and Indians.”

Editor and Traveler Dead By United Press WASHINGTON, June 18.—Funeral services were arranged today for William Dinwiddie, 67, editor, war correspondent and traveler who died here yesterday after a long llness.

Fair Enough WESnaNKHOB YORK, June 18.—It is too bad that tho honest farmer and the steel worker personally can not see the circumstances in which the people live whose hearts bleed for them in their plight and who stay awake far into the night worrying about their sufferings. If they could visit Washington and New York individually and look into the social lives of such selfless altruists they would at least have the satisfaction of knowing

that they do not suffer alone. This undoubtedly would be a big help to them. In Washington, they would come upon devoted statesmen, struggling to make ends meet on $9,500 a year, plus allowances, or graft, dancing the night away by the light of the stars and colored electric bulbs to develop their wind for further orations in defense of the rights of the common man. This is one of the most touching spectacles in the national capital. And the consumption of stimulating beverages to sus-

tain them at their physical training in the evening is another sacrifice on the part of the friends of the people which would be reassuring to the despondent hayshaker and puddier in moments when they begin to think of themselves against the world. tt tt tt Not Like Farm Life nnHE friends of the people in Washington do not dress quite the same as the people whose friends they are. But that is a mere matter of local custom. A farmer would not wear a white monkeyjacket and dress trousers to swill the pigs or plow his cotton under or grease his flivver if he could buy some grease. His wife at her hoeing would not wear a cute little number purchased in New York for no more money than it would cost to keep her daughter in college for a semester. And they might not need any juleps or rickeys or wine to keep them in shape for their work because they are lucky enough to be engaged in physical occupations which produce in them the same effect that the dancing of the carioca produces in their sedentary protectors in Washington, D. C., and, besides, there is a matter of expense. They might not care to spend that much to keep themselves fit for their appointed work in this world, wherein they differ from their devoted servants who do not care what it costs them to fight the battle of the citizens. Net to mince words, the farmer and steel worker and many other workers are rather short on patriotism in their refusal to buy a $9 bottle of wine now and again and thus contribute their something in taxes to a famishing treasury. Perhaps if this w'ere put up to them in a candid, friendly way on a patriotic basis, they would see their fault and loosen up occasionally. tt tt tt Associating With Commoners NOT enough notice w T as taken of the significance of Mr. Roosevelt’s voyage on Vincent Astor’s yacht, the Nourmahal, off the coast of Florida, last winter. Here was a case in which the President partook of the people’s simple fare as the guest of a man who was truly one of the common people and descended from a long line of hard-working, constructive toilers. It is well known that Mr. Astor is a self-made man who barely can get away from his daily labor for three months at a time two or three times a year and prefers to spend his occasional vacations roughing it in a rude cabin, about fivehundred feet long, on the Islands of Bermuda. The President, as an alumnus of two famous schools of hard knocks, Groton and Harvard, instinctively avoided, the society of persons with inherited wealth and social rank and went bobbing away on Mr. Astor’s raft with a host whose company would give him the real feel of America. With the press facilities which he has at his disposal, Mr. Roosevelt should have built up that phase of his holiday for the reassurance of the common man. The simple dinners for from a dozen to sixty guests in the crude, five-story huts in which the leaders of the homespun community life of Washington reside, would give the ordinary people of the United States a better understanding of the feeling on their behalf. It would be worth the money, to ship relays of them to Washington and also to New York, in order that they may see how the really worthwhile and important people of the country are depriving themselves for their sake. It could be done one a plan similar to that by which the Gold Star mothers were sent to France to visit the graves. (Copyright, 1934. by United Feature Syndicate. Inc.) Your Health BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN— ——— npHE mind of man predominantly demands study. A The dynamic psychology of Sigmund Freud, the investigations into behavior, the adjustments of human relationships do much to assure greater happiness in the future. The efficiency engineers have accomplished marvels for industry, increasing output, shortening hours of work, and making simpler the task of every worker. Yet you, as a human being, are still a mass of living tissue, highly complex in construction and dominated by a mind which may at the same time represent your soul. If the advance in the science of medicine has established any one fact, it is that no two human beings are alike and that your retention of the status of the human being as an individual is of vital significance to you in times of suffering and disease. tt tt tt THE nineteenth century marked the beginnings of research. The twentieth century finds mankind accumulating information faster than it can use it. The twenty-first century should find order introduced into chaos and more health and happiness for all. Problems of distribution in medical care make l difficult for many persons to avail themselves of all that medicine now r offers. For centuries the service of the medical profession to the poverty-stricken has been proverbial as the fulfillment of a humane ideal. A profession with thousands of years of such traditions behind it must keep this point of view for the future. The medical profession is capable of deve.’ ng plans whereby the magnificent service that it can render will become increasingly useful to greater and greater numbers of persons. tt tt tt IN the great Century of Progress exposition of the twenty-first century, medicine again, no doubt, will be outstanding in its contribution. We shall see the majority of mankind approximating the three-score years and ten which is the normal biological cycle of man. We shall see a beginning of some control over reproduction of the unfit and the degenerate. More infectious diseases will be eliminated. The Bodies of the little children will be better nourished. The better utilization of more leisure time will decrease the nerve strains and stresses now associated with both mental and physical breakdown. The frontiers of disease move onward as the control of diseases makes progress. Germs change their nature. New generations of men lose their immunities of the past. New machines, new chemicals, and new methods of living bring new hazards, which must be investigated. * The medical profession is a forward-looking, eternally vigilant and ever hopeful body of men to whom science is a god and service an ideal.
