It Seem io Me HEVWOOD BROUN IWTFTW YORK. Aug. 7lt .wms to me a pity that the scientific mind so often should be a commodity which research men leave behind them In the laboratory when they stetj out to speak to their fellows. Dr Robert A. Millikan, who won a Nobel prize In physics, took to the air in San Francisco yesterday and painfully how foolish a specialist rnay appear when he deserts his own field to talk about something concerning which he is meagerly informed. Dr. Millikan s theme was private initiative and governmental interference. In the course of his discussion he fell into the gross error of comparing the average income of the American worker with that of men in other countries in terms of dollars. A man who has been trained for years in the use of precise instruments and nice calculations did not scruple to leap completely the relative purchas-

zle for pur-ers from the pen of Dr. Millikan: The American dream is that this country may alwavs remain a land of freedom and of opportunity -a land in which each citizen has the possibility of rising to just such a position of power and influence among his fellows as his own character, his industry, his own capacities should create for him; a land m which the opportunity for education is denied to no one who has demonstrated his capacities to return to society through that education what it costs society to give it to him; a land in which the standard of living of the common man is just as high as i<. compatible with the total productivity of the country; a land that has so intelligent and informed an electorate that social changes, however far-reaching, can always be brought about and ran only be brought about by constitutional ballot methods, never either by the violence of the mob or the despotic power of the man on horseback supported by the rifle and the bayonet.” % ana Sloppy W riting—Sloppy Tliinkiny TT seems to me that Dr. Millikan's sloppy writing is an indication of sloppy thinking. For instance. I think his conception of education as a cash and carry proposition is hardly in tune with the highest ideals of learning Dr. Millikan, if his words mean anything in particular, would furnish education only to those capable of making a material return to the community equal to the cost of the education. But he does not suggest what coins are to be used as tokens. Is the philosopher worthy of his hire? Can the poet be said to have recompensed the sovereign state of California with a sonnet? Does the alma mater of Upton Sinclair list him in the black or red side of the ledger? Dr. Millikan seems to have no patience with the ideal of learning for its own sake. In effect he is saving. "Here is a course on Chaucer. It costs us $65.15 for every student who enrolls. Go out into the world with the $65.15 worth of Chaucer and earn an equal amount to pay us in recompense.” nan He’s Falling Fast OF course. I don't suppose they have a Chaucer course in an institute of technology, but I object violently to the cost system of education. I would not like to see the colleges get into a price war. For instance Yale wisely passed up the opportunity of advertising "big bargain lecture course—you get Billy Phelps and Browning for $10.19 including war tax. No money refunded after leaving the lecture hall.” The only course I ever gave was priced at sls for a half year, but it was in Leblangs cut rate agency before the month was out. At the end of the semester I matched the one remaining student double or quits to see if he owed Columbia $2.50 or nothing. He won. but even that left him a little unsatisfied. He wanted to know if I couldn't make him some allowance for his time. It seems as if Dr Millikan and myself just don't belong m the lecturing bu>ness. I went back to columnine and I advisa the good doctor to return to his laboratory and engage himself in the problem of how many feet a professor of physics falls in the first second of a stuffy speech on politics and economics. iCopvrieht. 1934. bv Th* TimeM

Today s Science BY DAVID DIETZ

TODAY I am going to write about a most unusual revolutionist, a revolutionist who has been elevated to the peerage of England, a revolutionist who is a trustee of one ot the worlds most conservative newspapers namely, the London Press, a revolutionist who is president of England's oldest scientific societies. Perhaps I revealed the joker in the deck when I used the word "scientific.” For the man of whom I speak caused a revolution in science. One may brine about a scientific revolution and. unlike other revolutionists, receive a reward from a king. The subject of today's sketch. Lord Rutherford, pre'ident of the Roval Society and director of the Cavendish laboratory of the University of Cambridge, is proof of that. 1 Rut herlord. until recently Sir Ernest Rutherford. is responsible for the twentieth century idea that the atom is not a solid corpuscle but a sort of miniature solar system with electrons revolving around a central nucleus. That revolution in scientific thinking, according to Sir Arthur EddmgTon. has had as great an influence upon modern science as has the Einstein theory of relativity. a a a LTNLIKE Einstein. Rutherford looks more like a * lord than a revolutionist. One look at Einstein's mass of wild, wavy hair, and his child-like complacent smile, and you are certain that you are in the presence of a most unusual sort of person. No idea he might express, however strange, would surprise you. Lord Rutherford gives you just the opposite impression. If you were told that he was the most reactionary member of the house of lords, you would be inclined to believe it. Os course. I am not inferring anything of the sort about his actual political views. He dresses immaculately, combs his hair perfect lv and boasts a carefully-trimmed mustache. He has a perfect Cambridge accent. I remember seeing him at a meeting of the Br. . 1 Association for the Advancement of Science in Toronto. Canada. The Toronto officials had borrowed for the occasion the visible card index of the American Association foi the Advancement of Science, a huge rack of cards upon which members and their hotels are posted alphabetically so that everybody can find everybody else. A typically American idea! Also a typically un-Brmsh one! I happened to come upon Rutherford looking at the index in amazement. What in the world is this thing?” he asked me. I explained to him in detail how it functioned. His amazement increased with his understanding of iu purpose "I m sure I won t be using it.” he said. m a a many great men, as well as several great women, have played important roles In the development of modern sci®mific views. It is. therefore, a little and fficult to point out Lord Rutherford's exact place in the story. Discovery of X-rays led to discovery of radioactivity. This in turn led to the discovery of radium by Pierre and Mane Curie.

ing power of the sums he mentioned. Dr. Millikan began his address with a rhetorical question and then proceeded to answer himself w ith a sentence of such length as to astound all listenerers.

‘FRANK’ ROOSEVELT-HARVARD, ’O4

President Not So Interested in Politics in 'Way Back When Days

BY DANIEL M. KIDNEY Tim** Staff Writer. iCopvrlßht. 1934. bv The Indlanapoil* Times P'lbiishins! Cos. All Rights Reserved.! WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.—"lt is chiefly the indolent rich who are the real cause of our municipal degradation.” That is an excerpt from a talk to Harvard college students back in the days when now President Roosevelt was Frank'' Roosevelt, Harvard 04. and managing editor of the Harvard Crimson. The speaker was John McGaw, reform politician, who came down from his home at Woodbury, N. Y„ in an effort to arouse Harvard students to the need for some such 'New Deal" as was to be produced under Roosevelt leadership, thirty years later. His topic was "Need of College Men in Municipal Government,” and he used the city of New York as an example where educated brains could be put to good use in governmental affairs if directed unselfishly. The lecture was a spirited one and rated considerable space in the Crimson news columns. But it brought forth no comment on the editorial page.

A single, short editorial appeared the day the McGaw speech was printed. It urged all eligible students to attend the senior smoker that evening. Nor was the more weighty matters dealt with by the speaker taken up by the editors on the following day. The editorial then expressed delight at the senior smoker being such a grand success. If the rich really were "indolent" and the "cause of municipal degradation,” young Editor Roosevelt and his cohorts were not the ones to sav so. Their attitude at that time might well be expressed bv that modem slang phrase "skip it.” That doesn’t mean that the Crimson editors were undemocratic. They sponsored the utmost camaraderie among their fellowmen of Harvard. ana FOR instance, just before commencement in June of 1903, they openly supported a movement to let the freshmen students smoke pipes and cigars in the Union building. Previously the privilege had been barred to all first-year students. That the ban should be lifted was termed by the editors "an excellent suggestion.” They pointed out that Harvard freshmen should be made to “feel at home" and that once inside the Union building, which required dues like a club, "equality and friendship'- should prevail and "all distinction between man and man should be abolished.” Nor were the editors unmindful of the social and perhaps business advantages which might accrue in later years to those bearing the Harvard brand. In advocating a change in "yard rules" (Harvard campus always has been “the yard") which would permit those in professional courses to mingle with the college students of their class, they wrote: "It will bring together as far as possible the men who in later life will be associated as having belonged to one class.”

DAILY WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND

By Drew Pearson and Robert S. Allen

ARTHURDALE. W. Va., Aug. 7.—E v ery Arthurdale homesteader talks like a forgotten man who has been remembered. There is contentment, gratitude, and a simple faith that “the government w'ill take care of us.” On many w-alls hang framed pictures of the man who has become their household god Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Faith is so strong, devotion so deep in these people that one wonders what may be their disillusionment should their Utopian dream be punctured.

The government paid for clearing their land and building their houses. Now they are repaying the government. They are repaying at the rate of S2O a month and they pay for twenty years. At the end they will have paid up $4,800. So far the co-operative plan has worked successfully. There is no indication that the paternal hand has spoiled ♦hem. Work is still hard. It was their own labor that, through sub-zero weather last winter, cleared the land of scrub and brush, drained the swamps, laid the ten miles of "red dog” road, plowed, harrowed. fertilized, planted the land, and put up the fifty houses on it. a a a THAT was before the families came. The men all lived together at the Mansion house with a cook to feed them, working through the week and going home on Sunday to tell the folks about it. The co-operative idea during thus period functioned perfectly. But in the future it may be more difficult. The present plan is the establishment of a factory near Arthurdale which will give a living wage to each head of a family. In addition, each homesteader has his garden patch capable of raising more vegetables than he needs. This surplus is to be traded in at the co-operative store. No cash is given in return, but a credit, against which the homesteader can draw shoes, shirts, butter and milk until his credit is exhausted. In this way it is hoped to avoid dependance on current market prices. B B B CRITICS of this New Deal for miners describe it as a very pretty little social experiment, but far too expensive. Why coddle a few in the West Virginia mountains. they ask. and let millions starve elsewhere? In reply, those who manage the project point out that these miners were on relief rolls before they came to Arthurdale. that the government merely is investing its money and that the principal will be paid back. Finally they point out that a higher standard of living us created, with expanding desires and an increased market, i Whatever may be the pros and cons, on® thing is reasonably certain. The outcome of the experiment will depend primarily upon the caliber of the homesteaders. They are of old pioneer stock, serious, hard-working, with all the providence of the thrifty poor.

WHEN classes were resumed in the fall of 1904 and Frank Roosevelt had been promoted from managing editor to president of the Crimson staff, it seemed that it was high time to give the freshmfn a bit of advice, F. D. R. now ‘Being a senior.' So on Sept. 30. a long editorial appeared devoted to "Freshman Responsibility." Here the Roosevelt doctrine of the strenuous life, then being preached from the United States presidency by T. R., and now exemplified by the entire White House family, was ladled out for frosh consumption. The only way to fulfill one's responsibility while in college, the editorial advised, is “to be always active.” “It is not so much brilliance as effort that is appreciated here,” it continued and urged upon each entrant the “determination to accomplish something." That same fall “Fusion” was being tried in New York City for the occasional purging of the Tammany tiger. “Frank" Roosevelt of the Crimson didn't show enough interest in the election to bring forth any 1904 model Joseph McKee, under the protecting wing of a former Farley, but an editorial did appear on the subject. a a a IN the communications coltimn, an appeal was set forth for all Harvard men who were residents of New York City to return on election day and vote “Fusion" against “Tammany.” Here is what the editors had to say about that: “We are reminded by the communication about voting in the New York election that the Political Club here has a field of work which is very large and in which much good might be done. “Last year this organization took a good step in arranging a few talks on politics, but these talks would do more good if there were more of them and if they were open to the whole university. Subject matter never was gone into in the Crimson editorials, however. An ardent Tory or the most enthusiastic booster of “Teddy" could read them without any increased blood pressure.

THE homesteader is proud of his children, proud of his thrifty woman, proud of his house. "When I was workin’ here last winter and the winds came a-whoopin' across the hills, I found this corner down in the bottom where the trees keeps the winds away, and I says to 'em. ‘Here's the place where I want my house. And here she stands.’ ” Will these new pioneers be spoiled by having the curiosity of a nation focused upon them? Here is a partial answer from one of the homesteaders: “No, visitors don't bother us none. There's plenty comes to Arthurdale. like those social service women you saw up at the Community Center. But they just poke around and look at the sample house and sign their name i:i the guest book and go along again. Funny, though, the way people traipse in here, thousands of ’em since the first of April. Might think we was runnin’ a circus.” Meanwhile. Arthurdale is growing like the corn and beans in its homestead plots. "Only thing is—we could do with a little rain.” 'Copyright. 1934. by United Feature Syndicate. Inc.)

To illustrate, when LieutenantGovernor Guild of Massachusetts gave a lecture at the school on “Dangers of Democracy,” the only editorial comment was that it was “instructive and interesting.” The topic still is good, being used daily by the anti-New Dealers, and President Roosevelt now has some opinions on it, as was shown by his radio address to the country before leaving on his vacation voyage.

This gave the Crimson editors some slight chance to expound on the perpetual Philippine question, which was to be settled by return of the government to the islanders by the congress during the first year of the presidency of Franklin Roosevelt. Here is the Crimson comment of May 25, 1903: “The work of 'settling’ the Philippine islands will not be accomplished in five, ten or fifteen years, but it will be a long and difficult task of several generations.” It then was pointed out that the Harvard room was a worthy cause and all .should be willing to support it to “show that we are behind our countrymen in the far east—that we are not mere spectators of the difficult task in our new islands.” Two other editorials appeared that day.

THE NATIONAL ROUNDUP tx n n u st st By Ruth Finney

WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.—President Roosevelt’s renewed drive for cheap power has widened the split between two warring camps of electric utility men. One group wants to meet the challenge of public “yardstick" power and lower their own rates to compete with it. The second group wants to fight the whole Roosevelt program of public power, closer regulation and lower rates.

The first group is beginning to believe that its only hope of future expansion and future profits lies in taking cooking, refrigerating and water heating business away, from gas utilities and from coal and oil companies, and in inducing homes to use new modern electric devices. The second group wants to join with other utility men in an organized fight to be let alone. Thomas N. McCarter, head of the Public Service Corporation of New Jersey and newly elected president of the Edison Electric Institute, wants to fight. Speaking recently before the Public Utilties Commission of New Jersey he said ‘‘overregulation and persecution has brought the whole railroad industry to the brink of

ball game with Princeton “a disgraceful exhibition," and the other urged support of the track team, despite the fact they had lost at New Haven. A musical clubs concert by the social service committee was another “worthy cause" for the Crimson to comment upon. But the big drive didn’t open until the football season the next fall. Then it was that Crimson President Roosevelt felt called upon to urge a "No Smoking” stand for women on the football field. The editorial asserted that many girls were being sickened by the foul smelling pipes, cigars and cigarets and should have a smoke-free refuge on the field. Now both the President and his ever-active wife are cigaret smokers. Next —The Business Office Editor.

disaster ... and now the appetite of the radical is not satisfied and if he has his way the light and power industry is listed for the same kind of treatment.” B tt tt YOUNGER utility executives are preparing to go out and compete for business. Samuel Ferguson, president of the Hartford Electric Light Company, speaking recently of TVA rates, said ‘‘Your company welcomes this challenge to match Yankee dollars and ingenuity against taxpayer dollars and the efficiency of government bodies.” The importance of the split among utility men is indicated in a report Issued yesterday by the United States Chamber of Commerce on “Residential Rates for Light and Power.” It gives serious consideration to the theory of lower domestic rates as a means of increasing business and revenues. After stating the case against lower rates, it supplies figures showing that in 1913 the average consumer used 264 kilowatt hours a year, paid an average of 8.7 cents a kilowatt hour and had an annual light and power bill of $22.97. while in 1933 he used 604 kilowatt hours, paid 5.49 cents an hour and had an annual bill of $33.16.'

COL. BOGEY GETS A KICKING AROUND AS CADDIES WIN STRIKE

By United Press CHICAGO. Aug. 7.—lt may have been the added exercise, the weather or different clubs thai accounted for the amazingly low scores at Exmoor Country Club today. But locker room attendants, naturally a suspicious lot, hinted that it could be laid to a strike of caddies. The club's oldest member, who hadn't shot under 90 in the last ten years, came running in from the eighteenth hole boasting an 80. Skeptics pointed out that, because of the caddy strike, he had been forced to lug his own clubs around the course and keep his own score. The club’s 125 caddies won their demand for a 60-cent fee for nine holes and a dollar for eighteen holes. It looked like the walkout was ended. Today the caddies made anew demand—7s cents for nine holes—and the club management turned adamant.

Fdir Enough WESTBROOK PtOLER NEW YORK. Aug. 7 Among the hardy perennial news pieces which flower in the pa tiers is the one having to do with the great national convention of the hoboes. This one is in again, thanks to a convention call issued by one Benjamin Benson, calling himself the publicity manager of the conclave. Mr. Benson, otherwise unidentified, made his announcement in Columbus, 0.. and said the convention would be held in Cincinnati, the home town of JefT Davis, the king of the hoboes.

Our business is very credulous about these affairs, especially in hot weather when there is a need of foolish little items with which to light up the page. The hoboes’ convention lends itself to frivolous treatment, often with drawings by the staff comic artist showing conventional bums of the Nat Wills patterns conducting themselves in preposterous dignity. The standard funny story on the subject includes a demand for bigger wedges of pie at the back doors, a better grade of cinders along the right-of-way, muzzles on watch dogs and the

substitution of the oil burner for the wood pile at the American farm house. No harm is done when the convention does not come off. Like the mammoth prize fight arenas, which Humbert Fugazy always was going to build a few years ago, they ar not supposed to come off. The hoboes' convention is just a story. a a a He H 7 as a Hobo—Once MR. DAVIS, of Cincinnati, the king of the hoboes, has so-called himself for almost twenty years. He is a small, amiable man with a craving for publicity who somewhat resembles Clarence Chamberlain, the flier. He wears across his vest, always in plain view, the coat being open, even in winter, a jewelled watch-chain set with Arkansas diamonds. The Arkansas diaYnonds spell out "Jeff Davis.” Mr. Davis always introduces himself as "Jeff Davis, king of the hoboes,” but he is a hearsay or theoretical hobo. He may have ridden a boxcar or mooched a sandwich at a back-stoop some time ’way back yonder but if so he soon elected himself king and went emeritus. Mr. Davis is one of those scholars. He is a longword man and rough-and-tumble philologist and enjoys to explain that the word “hobo" is really a title of merit, derived from the Latin “homo" and “bonus.” "You take the first two letters of ‘hobo’ meaning ‘man’ and the fiist two letters of ‘bonus’ meaning ‘good’ and you get the w’ord ‘hobo’ or good man,’ ” Mr. Davis says. It is difficult for Mr. Davis ever to muster enough subjects to make up so much as a hobo quartet for the singing of hobo songs (which hobos never sing) because the genuine ’bo docs not recognize himself as such. His thought in this is somewhat similar to that of the lawyer who regards the other fellow' as the shyster. Mr. Davis spent much time around the bowery and Pearl street in New' York some years ago. His throne room, so to spe*k, w’as Diamond Dan O'Rourke's ex-saloon which had been, many years before, the headquarters of the professional beggars. Prohibition dealt Mr. O'Rourke a dirty blow. ana The Good Old Days ALL around him in cellars and back rooms, speakeasies were popping into existence for the sale of smoke and bathtub port, but the police and enforcement agents would not let Diamond Dan deal at all. So he sold a little soda and near-beer and the boys used his phone for their little handbook business, which didn’t amount to much. The old man, who handled Jim Jeffries for some of his fights, would sit at this table playing pinochle and grumbling about his rights or recalling the days when the panhandlers stored their crutches in* his place or soaped their eye-lids to make tears or bandaged their heads and soaked the gauze with red ink to appeal to the sympathy of the citizens. Those must have been the good old days. Jeff Davis liked authority and publicity, so he got a badge from the health department and went around at night inspecting flop houses for flue and cholera cases. “It's all right, boys; just old Jeff Davis, the king of the hobos, looking things over for the health department.” The exhausted derelicts, tossing and scratching in their vile cubicles, would grumble “shut up.” which was no way to treat a king, and try to catch a little more shut-eye. Mr. Davis made a long, hard winter of it and he was always yearning to return to his family in Cincinnati and settle down. But the king of the hobos kept deferring his departure because he couldn’t scratch together enough money for a. railroad ticket. He made it at last, however, and rode home on the cushions, as befitted a king. (Copyright. 1934 bv United Feature Syndicate, Inc.i

Your Health

BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIX

NOT infrequently, after a person has had a severe cold or repeated severe colds, he develops chronic inflammation of th.e mucous membrane which line the walls of the tubes that carry air from the windpipe in the throat to the smallest parts of the cells of the lungs. These tubes are called bronchi, and any inflammation of them is called bronchitis. The chief and w’orst symptom of bronchitis is continued cough. With this cough there is a large amount of sputum, so that the condition is sometimes mistaken for tuberculosis. There are. of course, such symptoms as slight fever and sometimes pain in the chest. The condition has been known for many years and has usually been treated by putting a mustard plaster on the chest, by inhaling cod liver oil and other substances which help to build up the nutrition generally. It has also been considered good treatment for the patient to go for a while to a w’arm dry climate, but this type of climate treatment usually is not available to any but the well-to-do. a tx tt WITH 'development of new kinds of apparatus, however, it has now become passible not only to look directly at the walls of the bronchi, and to see the kinds of inflammation that have taken place, but also to make X-ray pictures of the bronchi and to apply treatment directly to the walls that are inflamed. It has been found that the injection of iodized oils into the tubes does not harm the health generally and permits the taking of X-ray pictures which completely outlines the tubes. These pictures enable the doctor to see w’hether there is thickening of the walls or of the tissues around the walls. After the direct and X-ray studies have been made, it is best, first, to eliminate every possible focus of infection in the mouth and in the throat, since inflammation in the bronchial tubes may be related to infection elsewhere. an u IT has been found that injection of the iodized oil for purpose of X-ray, in some cases, has relieved the symptoms for various periods of time. Therefore, many physicians now inject such oils or other soothing substances directly into the bronchial tubes and in this way ameliorate the trouble. Effects of such injections continue for at least twenty-four hours, during which the cough is much less and the amount of sputum greatly reduced; sometimes the improvement lasts for weeks or many months. The method, as you can see, is one which must be applied by a doctor.
