SYRACUSE JOURNAL

Keeping Up Wiifwcien<:e gj ervj[e O Selene* Service.—WNV Service, Wallace Asks More Liberty for Research It’s Principal Duty of Department, He Says WASHINGTON. — Scientific research needs greater freedom, less regimentation into separate water-tight compartments, if it is to produce the maximum practical benefits. This idea is laid down as basic doctrine for his department by Secretary of Agriculture H. A. Wallace, in his annual report “The principal function of this department is scientific research.” Secretary Wallace declares. “All its other activities, such as wepther and crop reporting, the eradication or control of plant and animal diseases and pests, the administration of regulatory laws, highway construction, and economic guidance, are the practical expression of research results. Research Is the primary thing, the keystone of the entire structure of the department’s functions and services. Depends on Science. Naturally th® department does not. rely exclusively on the findings of Its own investigators; on the contrary, it draws upon the general fund of scientific knowledge as It increases throughout the world. But this Is one of the tests of its scientific efficiency and value. Were the department not engaged itself in creative scientific work, it could not use creatively the findings of other institutions. Only science can assimilate science." As Illustrations of the way science overflows artificial departmentalising, Secretary Waliace cites the dependence of aviation, farming and the shipping Industries on the weather bureau, which Itself must invoke the aid of physics, geology, geography and other sciences. He also calls attention to the far-reaching effects of the foodpreserving industries on changing types of farming; these industries being the product of joint effort on, the part of chemists, physicists and biologists. Examples might be multiplied without end. Use Special Fund. Yet in the past, appropriations for the support of research in the Department of Agriculture have allocated funds, “item by item, on a bureau basis, for objects sharply particularised." To get away from this difficulty, and to push ahead faster toward practically usable results, the department is making use of a special fund for baric research appropriated by congress 'at its last session. Stay Home, Young Man! Is Flanders’ Advice to Youth of America THE old physical frontiers of the nation which immortalized Horace Greeley for his phrase “Go west, young man, go west,” are ended and new social frontiers must be built up to take tlielr place, recently declared Ralph E. Flanders of Springfield. Vt, in the 1935 presidential address before the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. Mechanised industry and technological advances have made it possible to establish the new frontiers in the province of better living standards, said Mr. Flanders before the engineers whose achievements have been criticised by some as the cause of depression under the term, technological unemployment Would Raise Living Standards. If the nation does not wish to stabilise for the future in a world where social, political and industrial opportunity are greatly limited, an Increased standard of living at ever increasing levels is the only solution. But the way to reach this higher standard does not necessarily mean higher wages, Mr. Flanders indicated, saying: “Higher material standard of living does not mean higher wages, higher salaries or higher dividends. It does not mean higher prices for goods or services—least of ail does it mean restriction of output. It does mean more and more goods and services at lower and lower prices relative to income.’’ Obstacles In Way. Two obstacles, said Mr. Flanders, stand In the way of attaining the new social frontier: 1. The false idea of both industry and labor that the best way to attain success is by control of output and prices. The AAA and the NRA failed or are failing on this restriction fallacy. Mr. Inlanders Indicated. Z The temptations of speculation. U. S. Helium Supply Adequate for Defense WASHINGTON—Despite the production last year of over 10,000,000 cubic feet of light helium gas from the government’s plant at Amarillo, Texas, an adequate supply of the va uable gas for purposes of national defense remains for a long time to ccme, says the annual report of the secretary of the Interior. The United States holds a virtual monopoly on the prodcction of helium gas. Studies by the United States bureau of mines on the rock pressure of the gas in tlie field indicate that only slightly more than 2 per eent of the gas reserve has been used in the six years of operation of the plant Sixtyright mill on >ubie feet of helium gas Itftß te<o produced in ttat time.

King Tut’s Curse Is Purely Fiction, Science Discloses Chance Remark by Native Began It All MINING TUT’S curse again” iV This rumor, persistently whispered, follows the death of each person connected in any way with the opening of Pharaoh Tutankhamen’s tomb. Young Tutankhamen, 3,000 years ago, is supposed to have thrown a curse around his royal tomb. The curse is supposed to be powerful enough to strike down people who, in 1922 discovered the tomb, in 1923 entered the burial chamber, afiti In 1925 examined the royal munimy. Curse Is Scorned. Yet, Egyptologists and psychologists have emphatically debunked the Tutankhamen curse. Dr. Otis W. Caldwell, well-known scientist, plainly calls It superstition. He Investigated and learned from various persons who worked in the tomb that no curse Inscription was found on its walls. The Inscription, which does not exist. Is supposed to rend: “Death shall come on swift wingq to him that toucheth the tomb of Pharaoh.” Native Started IL Herbert E. Winlock, Egyptologist of the Museum of Art, traces the beginning of the curse story to disgruntled news writers, who seized upon an Idle remark by an Egyptian native. The curse story, says Mr. Winlock, started when Howard Carter’s pet canary was swallowed by a cobra. A poetic native, thinking of the cobra that adorned Tutankhamen’s headdress tn the tomb statues, remarked: “The serpent from the crown of the king has eaten the golden bird. Bad luck will follow." The Tutankhamen legend has grown from this canary incident, from the imaginary curse Inscription, and the general superstition that It is bad luck Io disturb a Pharaoh's tomb. “Curse” Periodically Revived. The curse has been brought up at the deaths of archeologists who worked at the tomb, including Lord Carnarvon who, with Howard Carter, led the tomb investigation. The curse legend was revived even when a London journalist died 11 years after he reported the event of the tomb opening in Egypt The legend has been revived when mere visitors to the tomb—and there were hundreds of visitors —have died years later. . Archeologists say that Egyptologists die no younger and no more mysteriously than men who dig up ancient history in other laiids. Most fields of archeological research, whether in the tropics, the Arctic, mountain caves, or the desert, have their health hazards. The curse of Egyptian research is the hot rays of the sun, especially baneful to a man emerging from the dark and fetid air of buried tombs Fleas Insects, and tropical fevers are other “curses’* but not particularly mysterious and not leveled at archeologists any more than at other men. Cry of Laissez-Faire Hears an Echo From Secretary Wallace 441 ET us alone!” The outcry jL* of some of the more individualistic business men against what they deem to be too much government activity, and their passionate declarations that “natural processes” will restore prosperity, find an unexpected echo in the annual report of Secretary of Agriculture Wallace. Only. Secretary Wallace is talking of a natural wisdom more ancient than that of any business man, or indeed of any man soever. “Nature left to her own devices may create more wealth for men than man himself could create In the same areas In agriculture of other occupations," he offers. Whenever man takes plow, ax or grazing livestock he inevitably upsets the biological balance of the wild lands he undertakes to subjugate. Nature tolerates and even rewards his intrusion if pioneer man does not come as a lawbreaker, if be does not expose steep slopes to erosion by plowing, if be leaves enough grassroots to hold the rangelands against the windg that would raise raging dust-storms, If he leaves muck swamps and lakes to the docks and muskrats. But let him break a basic commandment, through greed or even In Innocent Ignorance, and natural taw inexorably sets the penalty. Pioneer Americans who came to conquer a continent, and their enterprising grandsons who remained to create land booms alike demanded for agriculture the things that belonged to nature. They cut too clean, grazed too elose, drained too dry. Erosion, fire, drouth Inevitably followed. Sawlogs, cattle and big crops paid high for a time—took equally high fines thereafter. Now Secretary Wallace and his aides in the work of land-use planning and wildlife restoration are able to make a very good case for re-growing brushlands. re-flooding lakes and marshes, and* giviil| at least these portions of the country back to the deer and the docks. Ten Seconds Needed to Pass Car Ahead WASHINGTON.—If you want to pass the car ahead of you, be sure you have from 1,000 to 1,600 feet of dear roadway ahead and allow at least 10 or 11 seconds to get back on your own side of the road 10UL This Is the prarJcal rule for motorists pronounced by Prot B.

Silent Moments in Which We May Review Our Deeds Real action is in silent moments. The epochs of our life are not in the visible facts of our choice of a calling. our marriage, our acquisition of an office, and the like; but in a silent thought by the wayside as we walkin a thought which revises our entire manner of life and says, “Thus hast thou done, but It were better thus.”—Emerson. Find Out From Your Doctor if the “Pain” Remedy You Take Is Safe. Don’t Entrust Your Own or Your Family’s Well - Being to Unknown Preparations BEFORE you take any preparation you don’t know all about, for the relief of headaches; or the pains of rheumatism, neuritis or neuralgia, ask your doctor what he thinks about it —in comparison with Genuine Bayer Aspirin. We say this because, before the discovery of Bayer Aspirin, most so-called “pain” remedies were advised against by physicians as being bad for the stomach; or, often, for the heart. And the discovery of Bayer Aspirin largely changed medical practice. Countless thousands of people who have taken Bayer Aspirin year in and out without ill effect, have proved that the medical findings about its safety were correct Remember this: Genuine Bayer Aspirin is rated among the fastest methods yet discovered for the relief of headaches and all common pains ... and strfe for the average person to take regularly. You can get real Bayer Aspirin at any drug store — simply by never asking for it by the name “aspirin” alone, but always saving BAYER ASPIRIN when you buy. Bayer Aspirin Absolve* Other* One thing to be said In favor of the man who boasts he Is self-made Is that he absolves everyone also from blame.
