It Seems to Me HEYWOOD BROUN AOOOD deal has been said recently about the . d-jrr • nato in which I take no stock t all. Some commentators profess to be shocked because short and ugly words are being swapped bv legislators. I think tha* in Its present fighting mood the upper House indicates more health than It has known for years NVurally. I will agree that the mere swapping nf loes not specifically speed up the workings of democracy. And yet i have a feeling that

in the months to come there is a chance of our achieving debates upon issues which are truly vital. If this getting down to essentials can only be bought at the price of a little rough stuff, fist waving and challenges and all that sort of thing. I still believe it is a cheap price to pay for rigorous self-exam-ination. A gentlemanly body bent on evasions and a nice Nelly handling of crucial economic problems can do little to promote the public welfare.

Today s Science BY DAVID DIETZ

THE Unhrd States has neglected scientific genius. Dean Prank C. Whitmore of Pennsylvania State College, a director of the American Chemical Society, declares in a letter to Senator David I. Walsh. Senator Walsh, who is chairman of the Senate Committee on Education and Labor, sponsored a resolution recently passed by the Senate directing the Secretary of Labor to inform the Senate as to the frasibilitv of creating a special division of the Department of Labor or a special bureau in the Public Works Administration to maintain contact between unemployed college graduates and government departments. agencies and private employers. , In expressing bus approval of the resolution. Dean Whitmore cite-; the case of the Rev. Julius A. Nieuwland of the University of Notre Dame as an example of how the nation wastes "God-given genius’ at urn. 5. Dean Whitmore believes that Father Nieuwland was badly handicapped bv lack of facilities and trained assistants. During the New York meeting of the American Chemical Society from April 22 to 26. celebrating the tercentenary of the founding of the nation's chemical industries. Father Nieuwland will be awarded the Nichols Medal, one of the highest awards in the chemical world. The medal is to be given to Father Nieuwland for his basic researches wnich paved the way for the production of synthetic rubber. m m a |v h s letter to Senator Walsh. Dean Whitmore • The production of the new synthetic rubber made po -:n> by Father Nieuwland s discovery carries with • certain implications which I would like to outline to you. F.her Nieuwland is a bom scientist of the highe • type. He has never had proper facilities for his w ork, but that lack of facilities never stopped his w vk. For instance, when he first went to Notre Dame the facilities for chemistry were so poor that he took up hotel >fy his loqging for scientific work When it became passible he returned to his first love of chemistry. He has never had more t..an one or two younger men working with him. If Father Nieuwland had had adequate facilities and had had a group of research assistants, such a scientist of corresponding ability would have had in Gt many, his productiveness would have been increased tremendously." a m a DEAN WHITMORE also calls attention to the fact that Father Nieuwland did the fundamental research which led to the development of lewisite, the very poisonous war gas which was developed in this c untry toward the end of the World War. but which w as nev-’r used because of the signing of the armistice. In 1900. Father Nieuwland discovered that acetylene trichloride and aluminum chloride combined loi :;•"<* a black tar which was very poisonous. Dr. W. Lee Lewis of Northwestern University came across this discovery' of Father Nieuwland's. He reP- at< and the experiment and in time was led to the discovery of lewisite.

The LOVE LETTERS of NAPOLEON to MARIE LOUISE

CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO “AUSTRIA WILL PAY FOR IT ALL” o N hearing of the reverses to his brother Joseph, on July 6, Napoleon issued a decree placing the armies of Spain and Portugal under the sole command of Marshal Soult, Due de Dalmatie, with Reille, Clausel, d’Erlon and Guzan as seconds. Joseph, King of Spain, made over the high command to Soult on July 12. And. knowing full well that Joseph would again take up his residence in his beautiful estate of Mortfontaine, he dictated a line of conduct to Marie Louise. Ma bonne Louise. I have received your letter of July 2nd. I was anxious about your health, so I am glad to hear you are well again. I am sending the Due de Dalmatie to Spain; the King knows nothing about it and not only Is he no soldier, but he manages badly. If he comes to Marfontaine, it must be incognito and you must ignore him; I will not have him interfere with the government. or intrigues set up in Paris. Inform the Archchancellor that you agree that he shall tell you how to act. My health is very good. Peace would be made if Austria were not trying to fish in troubled waters. The Emperor is deceived hv Metternieh. who has been bribed by the Russians; he is a man. moreover, who believes that politics consist in telling lies. I think the Congress will meet in 2 days’ time.

I should be sorry for this on account of the grief it would give you, but one can not put up with injustice.

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

WASHINGTON. March 9.—When General Hugh Johnson stated in the course of his flerv radio address against Huey Long and Father Coughlin that he was talking solely for himself, he was doing just that. Adnfinistrationites with whom he privately had discussed the advisability of making the kind of a speech he did had strongly urged him not to do so. The trigger-tongued ex-cavalryman refused to be dissuaded, however, and in the words of a popular expression in

his home-state. Oklahoma, "poured it on ’em." A hot scramble is in progress behind the scenes for the two long-pending vacancies on the RFC. Politicos who are angling for the choice berths are much mystified by the President's delay in acting. ... At the President’s request, inner council masterminds are making a quiet search for anew boss so- the NRA. It is Roosevelt's .uention to junk the RichF g-devised board—which ha r . rover, a big flor> —and return the Johnson-advocated pis:, of a one-mar board rule. ... Admirers who have written Montana's militant-liberal. Senator Burton K.

Before a witness is called the committee determiner- which one of its members is best suited to handle him. Best recent illustration of this was the selection of Missouri's hard-boilea Bennett Clark to interrogate William Shearer, self-styled 'Big Bass Drum" of the shipbuilders. .. . Dr. Calvin Hoover, new Consumers' Counsel o', the AAA. has warned his staff that if they do any sniping against his policies they will go tne way oi the recently purged liberals. . . . Huey Long pronounces the name of his home state, "Loozyana."

The small son is Paraguay, the big one Bolivia, and the mother is the League of Nations. . . . While United States cattle raisers are happy over present high prices of beef they are complaining that thousands of Mexican and Canadian cattle are being shipped into the country. The livestock men would like to have high prices without foreign competition. ...

Five years before. Spain had crumbled before the might of the Napoleonic armies. The capitulation of Madrid, on Dec. 4. 1808. has been pictured dramatically by A. J. Gros, in the painting reproduced above. But time and the knowledge that Bonaparte was beset on the northern frontiers bv the Russians and the Prussians, and that Austria’s alliance was now no longer more than a form. had. by 1813. made the Spanish restive under French rule. So difficult was the situation south of the Pyrenees that Napoleon ordered his brother Joseph, whom he had enthroned as King of Spain, to yield authority over the country to Marshal Soult, the Duke of Dalmatia.

Mellon. A young up slater who was brought into the Government service by Treasury Secretary Her.rv Morgenthau Jr. Mr. Jackson has been talked of in liberal circles as a gubernatorial possibility and his handling of the Mellon case has given impetus to this boom. Judge William I. Grubb, who ruled against the Tennessee Valley Authority recently, was appointed to the federal bench by President Taft, whose brother, Horace, was Judge Grubb’s roommate at Yale. A nephew of President Harrison. Judge Grubb was a corporation latvyer prior to his appointment and thp law firm he was connected with is the representative of a numbpr of large southe’T coal and power companies. a a a THE hoary old widows-and-orphans’ argument has been dusted off and trotted out by utility interests in their war against the holding corporation bill.

Kingfish Huey has thumbed his nose at another Senate custom- It is the practice in the chamber when a Senator wants a copy of a speech he has made inserted in the Congressional Record so he car. distribute it free to his constituents to ask another member to make the motion.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Briefly, the Emperor reviewed the sth, 6th and 6th-B divisions at Wittemberg; the Fhilippon division at Dessang; the three divisions under Vandamme at Magdeburg; the Due de Padoue’s three divisions at Leipzig; the Saxon troops at Dresden. Well may he rest him of his "trip.’’ Ma bonne Louise, I got back this morning from my rounds. The weather is still very sultry.

Ma bonne Louise, I have received your letter of July 11th. I believe that tho conference In Prague will at least begin in 2 or three days’ time. I reckon sending the due de Vicence and the Comte de Narbonira. Meanwhile my armies in Italy and Bacaria are being organized, and if we are to fight your father would be very unwise to let himself he drawn into it. He would make his countries the theatre of war.

She determined to travel day and night. But no sooner had she reached Chalons when she realized how necessary was sleep. Drums and tambourines, with their appalling din, kept her awake till 1 in the morning, she tells us in her Diary.

Pray keep me informed as to your journey and believe in the happiness it gives me to think I shall be seeing you soon. Adio, mio bene. NAP. Dresden, July 17th (1813). The following letter is one of the mast charming ever written by Napoleon. Can it have, derived its inspiration from the plays he had attended that day at the Dresden playhouse: Les Epreuves nouvelles and Les Secrets du Menage? Ma bonne amie, I have received your letter of the 13th. I am glad to hear the ceremony at Notre Dame went off well. You must not be put out by what I write to you, because it is to tram you, and in view of the future, for you know 1 am very pleased with you and that even were you to do something that was not to my liking, I should think it quite natural; you can never do anything that would make me angry, you are too good and too perfect for that. But I shall continue when I see something that I do not agree with, to tell you so, without your feeling aggrieved thereby. I have given orders that when a mass has been ordered, or a play, it is not be countermanded. They can both be performed without either of us being present, if we do not wish to tend them, but in that case there would be no objection. When the play was to have taken place within doors, the guests should be admitted just the same to the apartments intended for the purpose and there the following announcement should be made to them: “Their Majesties will not attend the performance;

there will he none, but every one is to remain as long as he pleases in the apartments,” and so there is no evil effect. When the performance is to take place in the playhouse, it should he proceeded with, whether either of us is present or not.

The prefect, “Jambon” (Jean Bon) Saint-An-dre, came to pay his respects to her. The emperor was inspecting the fortifications at Cassel. She joined him there and they both pro- * ceeded along the Rhine together, like plain commoners, as far as Mayence. where the emperor requested of her, on the 28th. after dinner, the favor of a drive.

Fair Enough min WASHINGTON. D. C.. March 9.—“And furthermore.” said Mr. Ray Cannon, a Congressman from Milwaukee, ‘‘with eleven million people out of work and twenty-two million on relief, who the hell cares whether Jim Farley slipped somebody a sheet of souvenir postage stamps out of stock in the Postoffice? Can’t a bartender buy a patron a drink? What difference does it make whether Mr. Farley got a dividend of SSOO from some company that sells w-ash bowls or window frames to somebody who

has a government building contract? If it makes any difference, take it up later on, after the workrelief bill has been passed.” Mr. Cannon had proposed in a joint resolution that in order to shut off Huey Long's remarks on Mr. Farley and speed up legislation, the galleries be cleared of spectators. It is a well-known fact that the statesmen, when they rear up on their legs to save the republic from perils or drive the rascals out, receive inspiration from the tourists and other citizens who sit in the balcony o\cr-

hanging the well. . , -In the House,” Mr. Cannon said, we got tnai work-relief thing on Jan. 23 and passed it the next dav Ever since then it has been kicking around over in the Senate while this damned clown hollers about a few stamps or a few hundred dollars that don’t mean a thing. Somebody ought to pop that nut on the nose. Yes. and I came near doing it last year. Oh. he just got fresh one afternoon busted my straw hat. Playful, you know.

Who cares about Mr. Farley? Mr. Farley can lake care of himself, but these unemplojed can’t.” nun Senate Sessions Once Secret THE clearing of the galleries would bp no innovation Time was when the session of the Senate were secret and there was no press gallery even, but only a few accredited reporters mingling with the statesmen on the floor. Moreover, in Longs own Louisiana Legislature he cleared the chamber of spectators one day recently. Os course, there are effective means of clearing the galleries, spectator and press both, already at hand but they do not serve in the case of Huey. A sure chaser is Senator Royal S. Copeland of New York and there are certain other rumbling bores who. on rising to their feet, set reporters and sightseers alike into a sudden flight for the exits as though someone had hollered "bomb!” This is a very sensitive matter with the statesmen and. although they resent the stampede of the spectators, it wounds their vanity worse to find the newspaper men suddenly vanishing through the swinging doors to catch a smoke the instant they rise to utter sounds. . When Huey speaks, however, he puts on a show which attracts the press and public and the the attention he receives the more gairulous he becomes. Borah. Johnson, Robinson and Harrison also command attendance in both galleries though not as much as Huey. The Messrs. Trammel. and Copeland, on the other extn me, may be reearded as chasers, a? effective in driving out a crowd L a squad of Arabian tumblers in the closing spot of an old-fashioned vaudeville show.

That would stop some of these windhncs because if they can’t get that tripe of theirs into'the record any more they won’t talk so much It would cut out this business of printing a lot of long speeches that never were delivered on the floo . but just written by some ghost and credited to so dumb cluck who doesn’t know enough to say Hello, Toots how’s the folks?’ in the English language. “That record costs from S6OOO to S7OOO a day and most ol the expense >* *l^'* help a lot of poor people with S6OOO or S7OOO a cny. 6 But what about the press?

Your Health -by dr. morris FISHBEIN—-

THE rheumatic infection with which heart disease in children may be associated is nQw recognized as an infection of the body as a whole, the result of some undetermined bacterial cause. , . , This infection may concern not only the interior of the heart and the muscle, but also the sac. or pericardium, in which the heart lies, the joints, and even the nervous system. . .. In some cases infection of the heart may be the very first symptom in others the earliest symptoms may be repeated stiff neck, sore throat, growing pains, or mild attacks of fever. Sometimes it is possible to arrest progress of this tvpe of heart disease before valves of the heart are damaged. In many cases, however, the condition may begin with a slight inflammation of the muscle of the heart and gradually involve the entire organ. Much depends also on the extent to which the sac surrounding the heart is affected. If this becomes inflamed and attached to the heart in any way. there is considerable pain. Moreover, the inflammation is associated with a development of fluid which surounds the heart and interferes greatly, with its action. tt tt tt AMONG the most frequent symptoms of involvement of the heart are rapidity of heartbeat, dilation of the heart and development of murmurs which the doctor hears with his stethoscope. These murmurs are caused by swellings on the valves and the dilation of the heart make it impossible for the valves to close properly. The flow of blood through the valve makes a sound which the doctor hears and which differs from the normal sounds of the heart. By listening at various points of the chest, particularly at the point where the apex or bottom point of the heart lies and also in the center of the chest, near the end of the second rib, where the top of the heart lies, the doctor can tell to some extent which valves are attacked and the severity of the condition. tt tt tt IN rheumatic heart disease, as in all other forms, rest is of utmost importance at the earliest possible moment.. '' The heart never gets complete rest until death. It is possible, however, to rest it relatively by keeping the patient flat on his back and by avoiding muscular exertion of any kind. Rest in bed of six months or longer may sometimes restore the normal function of the heart. It is also Important to watch the diet of such patients, feeding them with small amounts of food at frequent intervals and avoiding every possible chance of overloading the stomach. If there is a tendency for fluid to collect in the body, the amount of fluid intake must be diminished. Q—How much does it cost the government to make a single piece of paper money? A—A little less than \ cent. The cost Is the same for all types and denom nations.
