Science

An important factor in the race Of
the cable systems with their new
rival, the wireless, is the new alloy Of
nickel and iron, called permalloy.
This metal at its best contains about
so per cent nickel and 20 per cent
iron. 1t will permit the transmission
of messages over the submarine cables
at many times the speed now obtain
able.
In the factors of control, privacy
and freedom from weather interfer-
ence the old cables already have great
advantages over wireless. This alloy,
speeding up their operation, indei-
nitely defers the day when they will
give place to wireless. However, to
the scientist, the chief interest of
these new high nickel-iron alloys IS
not their utility, but the opportunity
they give for the study Of magnetism.
The new alloy, permalloy, may be
magnetized about thirty times as read
fly as iron. This is not due merely to
the mixture of metals. A special heat
treatment in forming the alloy is nee
essary to cause this condition. Per
nalloy is being widely used in inves-
tigating the little known nature of
magnetism.

RAISE
IN POSTAL
WAGES ON
Reader Thinks Users of Mail
Service Should Pay
Bill,

To the Editor of The Times:
Mrs. o. j. D., in agreeing with the
conservative reader in opposition to
increased salaries, points out a num-
Der of things that the postal employe
and organized labor are combating.
In regard to the two million married
women who are required TO work TO
support the family. we realize this
necessity In the American home as a
direct result Of the head Of the family
receiving a wage that is not com
mensurate to his needs.
We maintain that every working
man Is entitled not only to living
but saving wage. Wher a group of
workers refuse TO cooperate with
their brother breadwinners, 1t is in
deed hard TO give them a helping hand.
1t is the man who is all for himself
and always has his hammer working
as a result Of petty jealousy that is
responsible for the present condition
among the workers.
AS long as the workingman IS un-
derpaid. we are going to need charity
and charitable institutions. Give a
man a chance and he will take care OF
his family's needs and leave his wife
in the home. He knows she is en-
titled to that much. and the majority
OF them are content to put in their
time making the home a home instead
OF q place to eat and sleep. This does
not apply to the postal worker alone,
but to the army OF workers in other
industries as well.
The cost Of this postal legislation
does not necessarily have to he met
by an appropriation. A proper adjust
ment of postage on different classes of
mail can be made to take care Of this.
Why not let the man who is receiving
the benefit of postal service pay for
the service he is receiving?

The Crucihxion


Read Mt 27:29-50. Text: 27:35.
And they .., crucihed him.
IN the midst of his physical pain
and mental distress Jesus seemed TO
be chiefly thoughtful of others; the
soldiers that nailed him to the cross;
the mother that he had so long sup
ported the awakening heart of the
brigand on the neighboring cross; his
mission to men. This could only be
because the habit of his life was to
take account of Others"
MEDITATION: Jesus had faced
tho cross for many days and no
doubt had gone to God frequently to
learn the Fathers will for him. There
were other times In his life when he
stepped aside when men sought to
kill him. He could have saved him
self here, but he realized that only
by submitting himself could he be
true TO his hfe's ideals and the will
of God
PERSONAL QUESTION: Does the
cross of Christ mean more and more
to me?
PRAYER: Most merciful Father.
we pray that we may not be slackers
in the worlds travail zut faithful
companions of our Lord. Give us
grace neither to deny nor forsake
thee. If we weaken. may we not fail.
Even should we fail, lift us up and
turn us. o God, toward duty, that in
laboring here we may find life Amen.

BY THEODORE e. BURTON
Member of Congress from Ohio
III UR present water power law re-
ID quires the lessee to have some
L. comprehensive scheme Of i'm
provement and utilization for various
purposes and particularly for benefi-
cial public uses. The Ford offer for
Muscle Shoals contains nothing Of the
kind. Mr.. Ford proposes to use the
power for his own private uses.
Under present law a water power
licensee must pay any excess profits
tc the United States, the franchise is
limited to fifty years with no prefer
entail of renewal. and provision is
made for recapture by the Govern
ment or by States and municipalities.
The Ford offer provides for a lease
OF 100 years with a preferred right to
negotiate for renewal.
Provisions of Law
Under present law the grantee can
not transfer his lease without the ap-
rroval of the Government and he
must maintain the project adequately
for efficient development of power. He
must furnish power free of cost for
navigation facilities, must submit to
prescribed public rules and regula-
tons of rates. service and security is
sues, must make certain contributions
10 head water improvements, and
must do a variety of other things all
designed to conserve what Is rapidly
becoming our most important nat
ural resource.
All of these requirements are elm
mated in the proposed Ford contract.
l propose an amendment which
provided that at least half of the
power should he disposed of to the
public. The House in voting it down
simply proposed to turn over to one
man one of the most valuable water
power installations in the country,
giving him an absolute monopoly. The
object of my amendment was to guar
antee that at least part of the power
should be available for use by the
people. To me it is little short Of
monstrous that a great natural asset
such as this should be turned over
to one wealthy individual to the ex-
clusion OF the working man, the farm
er and the housewife
Should Defeat Bill
I believe thesSenate and the Amer
lean people will condemn the bill. 1t
does not seem possible TO me that 1t
will become a law. l think the House
destroyed all chance of its passage fl
the Senate by voting down some Of
the amendments designed TO protect
the property and resources Of the Ma
ton.
out Of the S5,000.O0 which Mr.
Ford agrees TO pay for the property
which he is to purchase outright, the
Government must spend about $4,000
900 for q new steam plant which II
will present TO him. So he is really
paying 81 500. 900 for property that
cost 1891 ,000.0 and that has a scrap
value Of SIG, ,000, 900. That is the Ford
offer for steam plants, nitrate plants,
Quarrfes, transmission lires and thou
sands of acres OF land, including while
towns built by the Government. All
this is in addition to the water power
leases controlling perpetal power
worth untold millions.
