It Seems to Me HEYWOOD BROUN rT *a. a pressing business ' lgagemcnt which took me in to town. But what all the other farmers were doing around the bar at 3 in the morning passes my comprehension. Pound Ridge, Brewster, New Canaan and Stamford were all represented. And every last one of tho country squires professed a longing to be back again with his buttercups and lilacs. To hear them talk an evening in New York represented the hardest kind of chore. If their testi-

mony were accurate each of the nascent agriculturists would much prefer to water a cow than to soak himself in fizzes and in rickeys. They drank but from a nostalgia to be in Connecticut now that May is here. And they did well to apologize to each other for straying out of bounds. There is in all the world no spot more lovely than the ridges of the Nutmeg State when the green waves sweep up from the valleys and carry each fortified position. Give me for my declining years some section which knows the swing of the seasons. Much as I

am oppressed by New England's wintry bleakness. I would not have it otherwise and exchange anv one of my five acres for building plots in Florida. Spring means something when it comes as a release and the very fact that summer is a t’ansienr adds glory to its short and mer-y life. We have a complete set of seasons on the ridge *nd other subtle gradations quite unknown in many parts of the country. For instance, with us spring is not a single maid in a night gown as the newspaper cartoonists are fond of picturing her. We know a child called Early Spring and her mother is Spring, herself. The child is pretty but slim and wayward and given *o tantrums and great floods of tears. March and April are her months. I do not. rare what calendars may say, Spring, herself, just arrived yesterday, n a a And Then ('rune Slone Fences MAY first is more than a promise of some dim fulfillment. In the future. It is a living demonstration of the actual presence of the new dispensation. And so no better day could possibly have become the time of celebration for the masses throughout the world. I do not wish to be set down as a mystieal sort of radical and yet it seems to me fitting that the maples and the meadows should burst out into new growth along with Union Square. I do not pretend to any poetic insight into the articulation of the trees, but they murmur and cry out and wave their arms against the skies. And surely it is not too much to assume that they cry out against the winter of discontent and the bleakness which lies behind them. And every bud would push ahead into the full leafage of its potentialities. Although new economic movements generally have their inception within the cities it is natural and inevitable that, no proper and lasting program can he built for a people without recognition of man's right to his share of the land itself. The Puritans w'ho settled along the rim of these Connecticut valleys did have a sense of oneness with each other and there were broad acres held in common. Their sons and their daughters strayed from the early ideals and with them came stone fences and signs to warn the trespasser. a a a He Leaves lhe Maples on Their Own r I ''WO tall maples stand before my door and someJ- times I grow avaricious and talk about, “mv trees.’* But they were doing business at this same stand at least ion years ago. They may be even older. I lean back against an unprotesting trunk and ruminate in the same spot where once upon a time four thin-flanked Indians sat. Although Joyce Kilmer’s poem and the melody to which it has been set both pain me severely I will admit that I have never made a tree nor even tended one. The maples are wholly on their own. Even the tent caterpillars which are worse than usual this spring have not attempted to set up a claim upon the giant trees. New' York is not distant by more than a few thousand stone throws and there the gruelling fight goes on by day and night for room in which to swing a cat or find room for soul and elbow. It, hardly seems that humankind has been quite sensible in these matters. Here there is space to burn and sun enough to furnish every comer. And if the country squires came to town to sit to the small hours in conversation it may be that each of us was performing a sort of May Day duty and p-eparing himself to go back and say to the tree.-, and the shr • and the grasses as they join in visual and verbal protest against a passing world of fear and bleankness, “ ‘At’s tellin’ 'em, maple.” (Copvrleht. 19351

Today's Science

BY DAVID DIETZ

STEP up and meet the neutrino whom Prof. W. D. Harkins of the University of Chicago calls the little clown of the atomic circus. Whether or not the neutrino exists is still a matter of debate, but you should know all about him if you want to know *ll the characters in the 1935 atomic show. As the name indicates, the neutrino is a little neutron. That should hplp you fix his position. Until the discovery of the neutron, all atomic particles possessed electric charge and were either positive or negative. The neutron is electrically neutral. So is the neutrino—if it exists. Sub-atomic particles today fall into two groups: The heavier and the lighter ones. The heavier ones include the proton, which is the nucleus of the simplest hydrogen atom, and which is positive, and the neutron, which is neutral. The lighter particles include the electron, which Is negative and w hich, if a number of physicists have their way, will be renamed the negatron; and the positron, which is the positive counterpart of the electron. To these two, many physicists would now' add the neutrino, which is neutral. A little table will help fix the pactions of these particles in mind: Heavy Light Positive Proton Positron Neutral Neutron Neutrino Negative Unknown Electron nan IT was suggested a year or more ago that the neiu tron might be regarded as a sort of fundamental particle possessing mass only. The proton, it was then suggested, might constitute the union of a neutron and a positron. The unknown negative particle corresponding to the proton would then be the union of a neutron and an electron. This new. however, seems to be somewhat upset by the latest developments in quantum mechanics. According to these, the proton, under certain conditions, can give rise to a neutron, while under still other circumstances exactly the opposite can take place, the neutron giving rise to a proton. a a a THERE are plenty of experiments on record in which a gamma ray from radium has been observed to split up into a positron and an electron and there is reason for believing the opposite take place. Most amazing of all. however, is one suggestion as to the nature o: the neutrino. It is now known that the electron possesses a spin, that is, it whirls upon its axis just as does the earth. According to one theory, Dr. Harkins relates, the neutrino is merely this spin without the electron. You will remember how in “Alice in Wonderland.” the Cheshire cat disappeared leaving a disembodied grin behind. Well, apparently the election can do the same thing, leaving behind a disembodied spin which attains motion in a given direction.

THE REIGN OF ‘GEORGE THE WISE’

New King’s Rule Is Fraught With Trouble From Earliest Hours

History may call Grrat Britain - * present rulrr “Grorje the Wise,’’ *o discreetly has he rondueted himself as a constitutional monarch in a world of fallen dynasties and rising democracies a.s ajetatorships. The story of the firs: 25 years or his eventful reign, which all Great Britain will observe in a spectarular Silver Jubilee celebration beginning May fi, is told in three articles written for The Indianapolis Times by Milton Bronner, veteran foreign correspondent. The second article in this series follows. BY MILTON BRONNER NEA Service Staff Correspondent tCopvriznt. 1835. NEA Service. Inc.) LONDON, May 2. —On the twenty-fifth annivarsarv of his reign. King George V finds himself acclaimed the hero of a natie'ul drama that paralleled his 70-year span of life. Exciting scenes followed with breath-tak-ing rapinity before reaching the world-rocking climax in which he so distinguished himself. Yet there was little in his early life to forecast the stellar role he was to play. Asa boy he had no thoughts of being king. He was a second son of the royal house, a generation removed from the throne with remote prospect of gaining accession. Fate nevertheless elevated him to the throne, with its heritage of bitter factional battles, an empirecrushing w - ar, and the world’s most tragic disaster. Out of the adversities that beset his empire he has emerged stronger than ever. If he has an enemy within the kingdom, that enemy has not made himself vocal. King George's story is the empire's story, too. He was born at Marlborough House in London, June 3. 1865, the second son of King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra, the lovely Danish princess. King Edward planned for his two boys, the Duke of Clarence, heir to the throne, and Prince George a healthy, happy childhood. When they w r ere 12, he de-cided-it was time for them to have companions. Accordingly, he entered them both as cadets on the training ship Brittania at Dartmouth. The boys had to perform their various duties like everybody else. nun WHEN Prince George was 14, he and his brother, as midshipmen on the Bacchante, took cruises which led them around the world. Then came a separation for the brothers. The Duke of Clarence w - ent to Cambridge and afterward into the army. Prince George chase to stick to the navy. Being a younger son, with no seeming prospect of the wanted to make a career for’himself in England’s senior service. In 1882 he was made sub-lieutenant and appointed to the Canada, which had its station in North American and West Indian waters. Returning ’iome for a time, he was gradual from the Royal Naval College at Greenwich. In 1885 he became lieutenant and joined the Thunderer in the Mediterranean squadron. After service in various other ships, he joined the English Channel squadron and finally had command of a torpedo boat. All seemed set fair for him to be a sailor prince for the balance of his life. But the Duke of Clarence became ill with influenza and died on Jan. 14, 1892. This made Prince George direct heir to the throne. His naval career was ended. Queen Victoria created him Duke of York. Earl of Inverness and Baron Killarney. The Duke not only fell heir to the throne, but won for himself Princess Mary of Tex, who had been affianced to his brother. Os

DAILY WASHINGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND By Drew Pearson and Robert S. Allen WASHINGTON, May 2.—Two important factors regarding the $4,000,000,000 work-relief program are being definitely soft-pedaled by the Administration. One is the realization that the United States is in for a more or less permanent work-relief program if unemployment is to be wiped out. Two is the fact that a largp part of the work-relief plan is nothing more than a thinly disguised revival of CWA. The first of these represents a distinct departure from the 1933 public works expenditure of $3,300,000,000. the chief aim of which was

to "prime the pump" until industry could pet poinp. Now it is pretty generally believed that industry is not going to get going in sufficient degree to absorb the great army of workless—even in the more distant future. Administration masterminds are not saying much about this, but recent surveys show that labor-saving developments have been such that even with a return of the 1928 boom there would be around five to six million idle. With a permanent relief program ahead, it was figured that the least demoralizing type of relief was work-relief. Hence the revival of CWA. u a a PRESENT work-relief plans, however, are to be more thorough and carefully planned than the CWA. The latter was a hurriedly thrown together organization aimed chiefly at carrying the nation through the winter. Part of the new four-billion-dollar expenditure will, of course, go to the old type of PWA projects. There is to be an unemployment census, the country is to be divided into regions, and funds will be rationed to areas where there is greatest need. The new CWA will be called by anew name—' Small Works." But its object is just the san.c--to provide work-relief quickly to the largest number of unemployed. And that the President does not intend to take any chances with this phase of his plans is indicated by the fact that dynamic Harr:' Hopkins, who pushed through CWA with such speed, is the man in charge of this program.

all her cousins, George had been the favorite playmate and the nation rejoiced when their engagement was announced on May 6, 1893. The wedding took place in the Chapel Royal July 6. The newly married pair were given quarters in St. James’ Palace and settled down sedately. In the course of time,, they had six children, one girl, Princess Mary, and five boys, the youngest of whom, Prince John, only lived until he was 14. nan THE Duke’s father wanted the future king to see the empire for himself. Accordingly, the Duke and Duchess visited Ireland in 1899. But now a bigger trip was planned. Parliament had passed a bill creating the Commonwealth of Australia and there was a great demand that the duke should open the Commonwealth Parliament. Queen Victoria had consented. In the meantime, she died on Jan. 22, 1901, and her son mounted the throne as King Edward VII. The king agreed that his son should make the trip as already* planned. So in March the young wedded pair boarded the mercnant ship Ophir, turned for the occasion into a royal yacht, and started on their long cruise which took them to Gibraltar. Port Said, Aden, Ceylon, Singapore and all over the Australian continent. They were warmly received everywhere. From Australia they sailed to New Zealand, Tasmania, South Africa, still in the dying throes of the Boer war, and then made for Quebec, from whence they went on a complete tour of Canada. The future King George of England was formally made Prince of Wales shortly after this trip. Now his intensive training for the kingship began. King Edward sent him on trips to Berlin and Paris, and. in 1905, to another great section of the empire—lndia. The England to which the prince returned was threatened by a great political storm. It was a problem which caused the king much anxiety and which caused his heir to say to a friend that he was glad he did not have to handle it.

.... and the boy grew older. Childhood pictures of King George V of England are reminiscent of the old family album. Beautiful Queen Alexandra (above), holds the infant George on her knee, while Trince Albert Victor, heir to the throne, clutches at the royal skirts. Age 4 (right), the sailor suit forecasts his career as sailor prince, which his captain’s uniform, won 20-odd years later, confirms.

THE circumstances were these: Lloyd George, then chancellor of the exchequer, had introduced what was deemed for the time a revolutionary budget. It sought to shift a greater burden of taxation on the rich. It was defeated in the House of Lords. Now' the government had no intention of tamely submitting to a Tory house which was hereditary in its membership. The government therefore proposed to shear the lords of their power. They should have no right to amend a money bill and no right to veto any House of Commons bill, if passed in three successive sessions. Suddenly there came a tragic interregnum. King Edward became ill from a neglected cold and died May 6, 1910. The heir to the throne w r as now King George in his own right,. His troubles had now begun. Everybody could see that in this parliaentary struggle the king would perforce be brought into it. He grasped the nettle with a firm hand. He insisted that the rival leaders should meet in conference and try to settle their diferences amicably. Twenty-one abortive meetings were held. Neither side would budge an inch. There was a sort of truce while the royal pair had their coronation ceremonies on June 22, 1911, and then the political battle was renewed. Finally the more reasonable men among the peers decided to accede to the inevitable democratic trend. The government measure was passed by a majority of 17. ana THIS settled, the new king next was assailed by the angry shrieks iof the suffragettes. For many years the women in a ladylike way had been campaigning for the vote. But in 1910 Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst had formed an organization designed to be militant. They interrupted political meetings. They set fire to buildings. They broke window’s. They went on hunger strikes. The king himself was brought into it, A high climax came when

a suffragette attended the Derby, threw herself beneath the feet of the king’s horse and was killed. This battle came to an end when war was declared. The militants threw themselves into war work. So nobly did they labor that by universal consent in 1918 a bill was passed giving women over 30 and having certain property qualifications the vote. Ten years later all restrictions were removed and all women 21 and over got the vote. King George’s reign wac, therefore, marked w'ith a situation in w'hich there were more women than men voters. No English sovereign in the last 300 years has ever been permitted to reign without having Ireland on his mind. In King George's younger he often visited Ireland and had always been well received. On July 8. 1910, he once more sailed for Ireland, accompanied by the queen, the Prince of Wales and Princess Mary. Graciously received in Dublin, the sovereign cleverly took the opportunity to show that he was above religious quarrels and considered all the Irish people as part of the brotherhood of the Empire. ana BUT the cheering had hardly died before an ugly situation arose. In May, 1914, a home rule bill for Ireland had been passed and was ready for the royal signature. The bill proposed to set up a single Irish parliament for all Ireland, with full authority over everything except the army, navy and foreign affairs. The bill meant the inclusion of Ulster, which, ultra-loyalist and largely Protestant, violently objected to being part of the new Irish dominion. Ulstermen began enrolling in military bodies ard arms were smuggled into the country. It looked as if the stage were all set for a civil war. To avert this Premier Asquith introduced an amendment to the home rule bill by which the six main Ulster counties should temporarily, at least, be exempted from its provisions. Even this did not cool passions that had been excited on both sides.

It was then that the king once more asserted himself and intervened in the cause of peace. On July 21, 1914, he convoked at Buckingham Palace a conference representing the government, the official Tory opposition, the Irish Nationalists and the Ulster Unionists. Although the sovereign him self opened the meeting in a very grave speech, the conference failed. While people were wondering w - hat the next step would be, greater events overshadowed it. The heir to the Austrian throne had been assassinated at Sarajevo on June 29 and Austria had sent a terrible ultimatum to Serbia. King George was due to reign during Great. Britain's darkest period.

Fair Enough WESTBROOK PEGLER ' 1 'HERE is some doubt about the morality of the Irish Ftee State Hospitals’ Sweepstake, but there is nothing the matter with the nerve of the eminent Irishmen who conduct this great lottery. Their nerve is magnificent. Although the sale of lottery tickets is distinctly forbidden in the United States, a friendly nation, and in England, a nation not quite as friendly but officially at peace with Ireland, the distribution of the contraband certificates goes merrily on. If the Free

State government were at all sensitive to hints it might have noticed by this time, what with occasional seizures of batches of tickets, that the traffic is here regaided as an annoyance if not as a corruption. In England a few years ago. the prime minister, Mr. MacDonald, was more wcplicit. He said the lottery was becoming a great evil, draining the money of the poor people of England and impairing the morals of the population. At one word from the British prime minister, the Irish Free State Hospitals’ Sweepstake continued to do as it pleased. The bulk of the retenue

which the lottery takes in still comes out Gs the earnings or the dole money of a neighboring people. Probably, owing to the difficulty of obtaining tickets and the doubt on their authenticity, the United States does not contribute much. The tickets are smuggled in, the agents operate more or less secretly, like the bootleggers in the early days of prohibition, and the buyer has no sure way of knowing whether his ticket is genuine or a dishonest imitation of a document which is dishonest even if real. a an And Those Press Releases — TO be sure, the sweep is not an enterprise of the Free State government, being conducted by a private charitable cortcern called the Hospitals* Trust, Ltd., of Dublin, for the support of 54 hospitals in Ireland. However, it can hardly be a secret to the government that the lottery is vigorously promoted in the United States and England, contrary to the laws of both countries and the indicated wishes of their governments. Officially and legally, lottery tickets are a.s obnoxious to tne United States as cocaine. It would be hard to imagine an American government which would permit a private institution in this country to establish agencies in Ireland to sell cocaine to the Irish and to distribute press handouts from a central bureau in Dublin intended to propagate the vice in the Irish citizens. Bc'h lottery and cocaine are regarded by the United Slates as habit-forming drugs, dangerous to the morals of people. The press releases w'hich are distributed for the Irish lottery in this country are mimeographed on a letterhead giving a Dublin address. They are mailed in New York in plain envelopes, probably by some firm of press agents. There is a list of the Irish hospitals which are beneficiaries of the pool and a note on the page says that the managing committee includes Viscount. Powerscourt. Sir Conway Dwyer. Sir Thomas Myles. Sir Joseph Glynn and Dr. P. McArdle, presumably persons of standing in Ireland. nun It Reminds Hint of Wine-Bricks IN addition to the press releases, the American public is mischievously invited to violate the American law in a sly advertisement, astensibly a warning against counterfeit tickets, but in reality an announcement of an address in Dublin from which lottery tickets may be bought. The ad recalls those raisin-bricks of the waning days of prohibition which were labeled with a solemn warning that they must not be placed in water and allowed to ferment because they would then produce an illegal beverage called wine. Possibly the American law is mistaken and the lottery is not a vice after all. There has been some argument to that effect in the last few years. Some of the masters of the people, noting their restlessness under pressure, have thought it advisable to let them divert themselves with the gamble. Not only would the lottery tend to hush the yowling and bawling, but it would Induce them to pay a large kitty to the government and like it. thus relieving the ruling class of some of their tax burden. It is a smart idea although it still is at least a year away. Up to now, however, the lottery is still a vice in this country and the government of the Irish Free State is in a curious position in the case. It is as though a neighbor were to encourage the children of a Methodist family to shoot craps, play poker, smoke cigarets and eat ice cream on Sunday. (Coovright. 1935. bv United Feature Syndicate.

Your Health -BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN-

IN most civilized countries number of deaths of babies in the first year of life has been reduced and it seems likely that continued advancement of medical science will still further lower this incidence. At the same time, however, there is a steadily decreasing birth rate, and as yet there is no sign that this is going to slow up. In fact as the young persons who passed through childhood during the lean years of the World War come to the marriageable age. the number of births is likely still further to be lowered. With a rapidly declining birth rate, control of infant mortality becomes of even greater significance. a b b LOWEST infant mortality rates of the world are those of Australia and New Zealand, where special efforts have been made in the past, and consistently maintained, to control this factor. Rates for the United States compare very favorably with those oi other countries of similar size, such as Great Britain and Germany. Among other factors determined by a recent investigation is the fact that the male infant dies more easily than the female. This has always been so. although no adequate explanation has ever been established. Only answer given by scientists is the statement that nature has endowed the female organism with greater vitality than the male because it is meant to bring forth the next generation. However, that is a statement of opinion and not an established fact. BBS IT has also been proved that infant mortality increases when the age of the mother passes a certain limit, and ' ~ience has shown that babies bom to mothers t r <i .long in years are not as likely to survive as thu jorn to mothers of a younger period, provided they are not too young. Illegitimate babies have a much higher death rate than those bom legitimately, and figures show that their mortality during the first 24 hours of life is far greater than that of legitimate babies. The reasons for this can be readily surmised. Factors responsible for deaths of infants during the first year of life are both medical and social. Modem infant welfare work and sanitary improvement nave begun to overcome effects of poverty. Advancement of medical science and spread of information concerning prenatal care are doing much to overcome medical causes of infant deaths. Q —ls asbestos a conductor of heat?
