f by Arthur Brisbane SCIENCE AT WORK NULLIFYING THE PRESIDENCY INDEPENDENCE TOO SOON? IRELANDS NEW MONEY

A pompous British coal mine owner d who asked a famous scientist “What practical good is all your science?” was surprised to learn that he had wasted thousands of I pound, boring for coal through certain str. la below which coal does nut exist. f Other mine owners, worried by ga.* Explosions that destroyed innumer able miners, got from Sir Humphrj Davy the miner’s lamp that ended the explosions. Wherever you go science is at work, visible or-invisible. John P. -Bickel, of the Mclntyre Porcupine mine in northern Ontario, tells what science does for gold miners that work fat under ground during the hours of sunlight. . j Leaving their work they take off I their digging clothes and walk ; through a aeries of showers! gradual-1 ed in temperature, and get ri<j o' I the dust of the mine. They they sit | naked on a moving platform, with brilliant artificial sunlight shilling or them, stimulating their blood I through the power -of actinic rays, j Their ride of a few minutes througl I a.tilicial sunshine L sts long enougl | to give theni exactly as much of the rays as doctors want them to have, equivalent to six hours in natura* sunlightThey change to their surface doTh es, refreshed by the showers of water and k tiniC ray baths. That is ap’ improvement on mining methods of old days, when warnei on their hands and knees, in low tunnels of British coal mines, drrggecars loaded with coal, attached t< chains around their necks, running under then bodies. . 6 ' L ’ The senate of the United States re fused 44 t<> -7, LaF»llett<e and Blaint of Wisionsin voting with the Democrats, to confirm any further nominations by President Hoover. The senate has a right to exerciri ! its constituti m .power as it chooses Whether it has the right to depriv the.. President of the United S during seven I months, of power t exercise functions that belong to h office, is a questionConfirmation by the senate is sup posed to depend on the fitness of the appointee. It is in the-natuie of • conspiracy not to confirm u: dcr any circumstances, regardless of fitness, and that might possibly be made to interest the Supreme court. In Newark, N. J., a grand jury in-j dicta 113 for election, frauds- the us- I ual things; including rie lr:;g ballots. !

T , . Secretary JHills wisely warns congress thatXhe dream about hundreds of millions from a beer tax will never be real. It it a fact, as Mr. Mills says, that witfan a country without beer saloons, distribution and drinking of beer will be limited, yielding not more than $150,000,000 in taxes. Dr. Arthur Kraus, teacher of phiksophy in New York’s city college, refusing, food, says he will starve tOl death, “to protest against the apathy of intellectuals toward auti-Semitic j excesses in Polish universities.” Mr. Kraus shows high moral courage, but might better look up the history of the Jewish priest, Mattathias, who fought against religious persecution more than two thousand years: ago and established the famous family of Maccabees. The Maccabees had the right idea. Leave starving to Mahatma Gandhi There are better methods. Chicago, where; the dollar grows bigger as prices grow smaller, offers for breakfast two eggs, toast, toffee, fried potatoes, even jam on ’he toast | all for 12 cents. In California you see the old-fash-ioned sign, “Board and Lodging S3O a month." That may seem impossible to pampered 1932, but S. S. Carvalho, the well-known editor . and publisher, knows that it is possible. He and this writer, as a young reporter for Charles A. Dana, lived at Simmons’ restaurant in Murray street just across Broadway from the Sun office, each paying $8 a week for a good room and “sill be could eat” in the excellent restaurant.

WINTER SPORTS GET UNDER WAY ON LAKE Both Syracuse and Lake Wawasee became frozen over, the latter part of last’ week, and ice boat owners and ice skaters tried this sport Sunday on both lakes. c The ice, eight inches thick by that time had frozen when there wss no ; wind and it was smooth as glass and so. clear it was’ possible for skaters to see lake bottom until the thin layer of snow fell Sunday morning to impair the vision but not the skating or boating. Lack of wind prevented ice boats gaining much speed, but racing weather is hoped for, on New Year’s Day, when first ice boat reces are planned by the Wawasee Ice Yacht Club. These races will be held on a course marked off on Lake Wawasee. Several accidents during the week were caused by ice. Mr. Gingrich, the baker who works for Emory Strieby, and who lives in the Kenneth Harkless property in Pottowatomie Park, started across Syracuse Lake, early one morning last week He was carrying a basket of clothes, and he came upon a spot in the ice which was not safe. He crashed through, the frigid water reaching to his arm pits. Fortunately it was shallow enough that he could walk along the bottom, as the ice kept breaking as he tried to climb out upon it. He managed. to shove the basket of clothes ahead of him and break the ice to walk back to the shore and home. On Sunday, while skating, Mr. Langston, High school band master, fell and struck his chin with such force it required a stitch to close the cut. Dick King, Second Grade pupil who lives on Kale Island wes trying to sled ride on Lake Wawasee by running, and throwing himself on his sled.. He missed the sled and struck the ice with such force he bit his tongue almost through. Eating and talking have been hard for Dick this week and it interferes with his whistling act for the school operetta. John Friend came to school with a black eye this week. He fell on the ice and a hard edge cut the corner of his'left eye. Wilbur Pickett, whose orchestra played at the Spink-Wawaiee all summer, fell on the ice while fishing, Monday and cracked his left wrist. Mrs. Charles Bowersox fell on the ice on Syracuse Lake yesterday and broke her arm. On Monday this week The Syracuse Ice Cream factory workers began cutting ice to be put up for next summer’s use. Lloyd Disher at the Syracuse Ice Co. at first thought he’d commence cutting ice this week, but decided the 7H and 8 inch depth was not enough, so is waiting for ! more ice.

HUCK WITHDRAWS SUIT FOR OFFICE

Walter D. Irick, Democratic nominee for county surveyor has withdrawn his suit against county usrvey or-elect Robert S. Pfleiderer. Promises of an appointment in the engineering department of the state highway commission, or the possible appointment to the position of county highway superintendent which will be open, Jan. 1934, to said to be the reason given for Irick’s dropping the case. Monday, Dec. 19, we* the time set by the county commissioners for hearing the amended petition of the contest showing the result of the recount which gave Pfleiderer 24 more votes than Irick instead of six as was shown by the official count election day. Neither Irick nor his attorney ap- ! peared at the court, Monday at 9 a. m. Finally Francis Bowser appear ed late in the morning and moved the immediate dismissal of the case. This was done. Members of the recount bdard were Ed Poulson, Clifford Goshert, Republicans; Charles W. Enger, Democrat. Between 300 and 400 ballots were in dispute as to the marking. Examination of these ballots showed the intent of the voters and that the objection to the marking was only technical.

Macy was visiting his brother John at Purdue University, two weeks ago, he visited the radio station there and plans were made for that station W9YB to talk to Macy’s friend, Cordevez at station HCIFG, Rio Bamba, Ecuador, S. A. On his return home, Macy got in communication with Cordevez and told him to watch for the message from Purdue. That one was sent and answer received is the story told in the following clipping from the “Purdue Exponent.” “A message sent recently from W9YB, the University amateur radio station, traveled 6,500 miles even though the message was addressed to ■ Syracuse, Indiana, only 95 miles from Lafayette. A reply was obtained four minutes afterwards, the original message and the return message traveling a total of 13,000 miles, or an average speed of 3,250 miles per minute, or 195,000 miles an hour. “On Tuesday, W9YB established communication with amateur station HCIFG, Rio Bamba, Ecuador, So. America, who was already in communication with W9UM, Syracuse, Indiana. While such instances of relaying messages are very unusual, it is hoped that a weekly schedule will be held for communication with Syracuse, Ind., via Ecuador. HCIFG reported to W9UM that signals from W9Y’B were the best he had ever contacted considering the low power used at W9YB. The power output of W9YB is approximately forty watts.” 0OFHCERS NAMED BY FARM BUREAU Past officers were re-elected for the coming year, when the Turkey Creek Farm Bureau met in the High school, Monday evening.

TOWNSEND IS 1 SPEAKER AT HIGHSCHOOL Lieutenant - governor Elect Talks to < Farm Group Clifford Townsend, who will beedme iieutenr nt-govei nor of Indiana, the first of the year, and who is director of the organization department of the Indiana Farm Buieau, ’.adressed the meeting of the Turkey Creek Township Bureau, in the High school, Monday night. A number of bureaiFmembers from ether townships and counties attends ed this meeting. ‘ In his talk Mr. Townsend outlined the American Farm Bureau’s National Legislative program. He spoke of the meeting of the directors of the three chief national farm organizations, in Chicago, thi-ee weeks before the election, when their program for farm relief was outlined. He said if these plans of farm relief do not pass the present Congress, the new administration promised before election, to Call a special session of Congiess for i the purpose of taking care of the farm problem. . There are four features of H1..3 program of the national farm groups, Townsend said. “First, what agriculture in this country needs is tb« honest dollar,” he said. “Second, is ' the matter of faim mortgages; third, the unification of ag’riculturi 1 services and elimination of that which is unnecessary; fourth,; the. tariff adjustment plan.” . i ‘ In speaking of the honest dollar, Mr. Townsend said the 10 billion dollais worth of, farm mortgages in this country were incurred at the time of peak prices. Os the six and one half million farms, in the coun- j try, two and one half million have been mortgaged for the 10 billion dollars. Os the.se farms, a third were mortgaged for half their worth, and another third for 75 pbr cent of their vfdne and -the rest for mere than their present worth. ? He said since specialization of work had commenced, a big surplus hrs meant it is necessary to trade more of the over produced article for’that object which is more scarce. Townsend said “the law of supply and demand can be violated any day —if the supply can be controlled. He told the story to illustrate the need for “an honest dollar” J He said a traveling man had left SIOO with the hotel manager. Pressed to pay his bill to' the butcher, the hotel man, unable to collect, debts owed . • him, had taken the SIOO, paid the butcher, who immediately paid for i “his refrigerator to prevent a law suit. The man who had sold him the re- i frigerator paid back rent to the man j who owed the hotel manager. This man then paid the manager, that same SIOO bill and he put it back in the safe. When the salesman tailed 'for his money, the hotel man handed him the SIOO. The salesman tore it up before is eyes, saying it was counterfeit, “I just did it to test your honesty. ” “Who had been cheated”? Townsend asked, “No one,” he said. People had used that money to cancell obligations.” “When services are rendered, goods flow and we have prosperity. When some group gets hold of the 'medium of exchange, known as money, it is necessary to produce more to get hold of thjjt dollar. It takes four times as many products to pay now - as 10 years ago,” he said. Townsend said he didn’t advoc r.C the government going off the gold standard, but that money could be inflated 100 per cent; that the SIOO 1 worth of paper money could be backied Joy S4O worth of gold instead of is7s worth as is the ratio now, [and still be good. That the govern- ■ ment could buy up government in-terest-bearing bonds with these greenbacks. People would have this money for re-investment. Would it be harder for the government to make the currency good than to make the bonds goods,” he asked. “This would put 10 billions of dollars in circulation to buy things," : Townsend said. “Things would go up in value. This must happen.” » In the matter of farm, mortgages and farm homes being lost this way, Townsend said when a communist talks to a man who owns his home, he’s not interested. The government can’t afford to' have 2% million homes taken away from the people. Speaking of the tariff adjustment plan, Townsend said 42 cent tariff on wheat now did no one any good % because the farmers have a surplus. If farmers were organized, this tariff price added to their wheat could be collected. Townsend illustrated that if one man held all the home, grown wheat on Last Page)
