the prelate declared there is little
consolation in the academic state
ment that the Constitution safe
guards adequately our religious lib

We need today something more
than platitudinous quotations from
our country's Constitution he con-
tinued. We need the moral courage
OF Columbus in men in high places
who will be brave enough to do their
duty in seeing to it that the consti-
tutional rights of the hupblest work
er in the republic are respected. The
youngest student in a grade school is
capable of telling US of such rights
and of extolling their sacred worth.
But it is the solemn. duty of the
Chief Executive of the Nation, either
personally or through his agents, to
take effective means to safeguard
those constitutional rights particu-
larly when il is d question of men
and women workers in departments,
divisions and bureaus of government
service existing within the very
shadow of the White House."

artificial Sunlight Builds Health
For Chicks and Babies, Says Doctor

the Same principle would apply
to children.
Babies. particularly those of
poor families brought up in dark
alleys and crowded tenement
houses, and rich children brought
up in homes where windows are
closed and all sunlight is filtered
through glass. develop ricketts,, he
said. This is one of the chief
causes of bowlegs, which most
mothers believe are caused by al
lowing the child IL stand on its
feet or walk too early in life.
"Autopsies on babies in Dresden
showed that of those which were
born in the Fall and died in the
Spring 90 per cent had rickets,
while of those born in the Spring
and who died in the Fall only
very small percentage had the dis
ease. The babies born in the
Spring were outdoors in the sun
light during the Summer. and
therefore were not deprived of the
ultra violet rays of the sun"
The artificial sunlight lamp used
at the University of Maine is some
what similar to the blush mercury
lamp used by photographers except
that instead of being glass tube,
which is opaque to the ultra vio-
let rays. it is made of clear fused
quartz produced in the research
laboratory of the General Electric
Company at West Lynn, Mass.

A group of District officials yester-
day saw the sights of Washington
from the upper tier of double-deck
motor bus brought here for trial pur-
poses.
None of the local bus companies
have applied to the Utilities Com
mission for authority to operate
double deckers. but the manufactures
decided to bring a bus TO the city
to find ou- by demonstration whether
that type of carrier could be operated
here without damage to the large
shade trees.
One of the representatives of the
manufacturer said he found that the
bus could be brought to a stop
within feet of the curb without tree
interference.
Engineer Commissioner Bell. AS
sistant Engineer Commissioner Covell
and Clifford Lanham. superintendent
of trees and parkings, made the test
trip.

ORONO. Me. October 1.-THE
health giving effect Of artificial
sunlight, or ultra violet rays, OBJ
tanned by the use of Il fused
quartz mercury vapor arc lamp,
has been demonstrated at the
University of Maine by President c.
G. Little of the University and
DIR. w. T. Bowie. professor at the
Harvard Medical School. who
have been conducting experiments
with chicks.
The findings of these scientists,
announced today, show important
medical properties of such light,
not only in the raising Of chicks
but in the prevention of diseases
Of children, especially rickets.
Experiments conducted on a
brood of pedigreed chicks have
indicated not only that larger and
stronger chicks can be raised
under the artificial sunlight, but
that chicks raised under natural
sunlight filtered through ordinary
window glass developed weak
legs or rick cts. weighed but one
fifth as much as the others, and
died unless d change in living con-
ditions was made. Ordinary win
dow glass is opaque to the suns

Capt. c. V. Johnson informed the

The disregard for pedestrians at

attention of the association and is to

Howard S. Fisk told of the excel
lent results being obtained by the
electric automatic signal boxes
erected on the far corners in the line
of traffic in both st. Paul and Mime
apolis. He explained that with this
system in vogue the motorists were
required to respect the white lines at
crosswalks and not drive over these
lines at random, as is generally the
case in this city. This system. he
continued. also gave the pedestrian
time to cross thoughfares with the
traffic before traffic changed. In his
opinion this automatic system is far
superior in the movement of traffic
to the hand semaphores now in use
in this city. He told of the aerial
