Shortening ShOvels
Attractive Industry Will Come.

Some time in the future when men think less about their
own pockets and more about the general welfare effort
will be made to carry program of Charles Fourier and
establish attractive industry
To get work well DONE make the work ATTRACTIVE
The old kings realized THAT.
Their sers they could force work under the lash With
their soldiers asked to face DEATH it necessary to make
the job ATTRACTIVE Hence the uniforms feathers bands
playing permission to loot the conquered city and kill the
habitants.
The man whose work is attractive does it WELL does
good deal Of it. because he LIKES it Employers could learn
lesson from gang of Italian laborers whose wages
cut recently The day after the they came TO work ac
Cepng their fate The foreman watched them they all worked
as hard before But in the number Of hours they did
much less shoveling.
Finally discovered that workman had cut one
inch off the end Of his shovel Every time he over and
Strengthened up he lifted much less dirt That was his
reply to the cut in wages.
When cuts his shovel the employer can lay him off,
But there is shovel cutting that's done inside the
brain that you CAN'T detect.
And that shovel cutting the voluntary cutting down Of the
output is the result of work and wages not attractive
Make work attractive it CAN be DONE and you'll solve
dustril problems.

GARRETT P. SERVISS ON NEW
WONDERS OF SCIENCE
Theories Of Einstein and Others Still Lack Solid
Basis Of Facts.

''postulates'' about thte atom. I'VE
must expect soon to see more
wonderful transformation Of our
conceptions Of the physical world,
a vastly more wonderful trans
formation, than that which has
resulted from the relatively
theory"
The trouble with the latest
phase Of modern speculative sci
ence is that some OF its leaders
have apparently caught the
speeding habit, like some automo-
bile drivers. They don't notice
how fast they are going. When
Newton had lahoriously worked
out his theory of gravitation he
held It back for sixteen years
because there was a discrepancy
between one Of his calculations
and what was supposed at the
time to be the correct measure
of the earth. And when he did
put forth his theory he had de-
veloped it so completely that it
covered every thing, all the facts,
in it's field. There was nothing
beyond the evidence" in New
toms theorizing.
Einstein'S Basis.
Contrast that with the methods
by which RELATIVELY" has been
exploited. Newton's theory stood
from the first like a massive
pyramid on the solid ground Of
physical fact; Einstein's has never
been able to claim the support
al the
most four, isolated facts, not one
of which has been proved to be
explicable on the principles OF
Newtonian physics, while the,
whole groundwork OF the theory
is physical and so unveri-
fable.
: Then, too, one may inquire:
Is 1t the fact that a wonderful
transformation of our conceptions
of the physical world has resulted
from the relatively theory? That
is, has there been anything like a
universal, or even a general
transformation in the mind of
physicists?
Thousands have studied the
new theory, but 1t does not follow
that their conceptions have been
transformed by it. In fact, 1t is
well known that a great many
physicists and astronomers nave
decidedly rejected it. They find
it entertaining but not convincing.
After all, Newton and his sys-
tenn have not been run down and
pitched into the ditch. They
still give the law to mechanics
and astronomy. When Bohr, the
inventor of the at present most
(. widely famous theory of the
atom, affirnns, in order to sup
port his theory, that in the atom,
action may not take place in
what we call space and time,
one might ask him where what
we call space and time" originate,
then, for are we not wholly made
up of atoms?
The Washington times., 1924-11-22

NO doubt the greatest oppo-
nj sition to the acceptance OF
I'M the Einstein and otheh re.
cent revolutionary theories in sci
ence arises from the dislike of the
mind to having it's long-settled
ideas upset. And there is much
excuse for this when new theories,
running absolutely counter to the
most common results OF human
experience demand of US to believe
that which our senses assure US
is not so. We know, Of course,
that our senses are subject to de-
ception, but we also know that by
taking pains we can detect and
avoid deception. And, II we can
not believe our senses, what have
we. that is worth while?
A certain resentment against
the new theories also arises from
the way in which some of their
advocates treat the suggestion
that common sense has anything
to do with them.
Some sneer at common sense;
but that is like being disre-
spectful to the equator. In one
breath they tell us that the foun-
dations of science have been
broken up, and must be relaid in
accordance with the new ideas;
and in the next they admit that
their theories lead to results of no
Importance from a practical point
Of view. The formidable name of
mathematics is invoked, but it Is
mathematics operating In a
vacuum, on data which confess
eddy are not merely incompre-
hensible but contrary to expert
ence. 1t is supra-physical mathe.
matics. To defend this it is
claimed that the application of
formulate of the Einsteinian theory
give results accordant with other
theoretical explanations Of the
state of things inside an atom

Well, the weeks passed, but Herbie s dumb

ana It's good enough Tor me
What people usually by the oldtme religion is that
they do not want to be disturbed They want to retreat
into the old convenonaites and have nobody stir them
The essence of religion, however, is revolution It
doing something opposed to convention and backed only by
conscience
The religion of Moses which sung about not that OF
mildly sitting down. under Egyptian conditions, but IN
doing something adventurous and brave
Abraham had the same kind Of religion.
Paul and his companions accused of turning the
world upside down cannot have real religion I'M
less lie reyos at the requirements Of convention and habit
which clamp down the rest Of the world.
Religion is something that man from custom
and habit and makes him creature Of conscience only
1t is disturbing factor It is the element Of progress
1t u.s. and always will be- protest against things they
arc and going back to first principles
IT, therefore, has the oldtime religion the religion
o. Moses and Abraham and other worthless Of ancient
history he has something that makes him independent and
and adventurous something that makes him de-
pend upon the cosmc laws Of the universe and his
conception of God than. upon the law of custom and the
traditions Of man.
Religion the eldest thing the world and it is also the
newest thing in the world.
It is like water that has flowed for many year and is
continuing flow It present inspiration for
an ever present need 1t not something that be
crysazed in the past but something that is ever and

JAP LEASES MADE BEFORE.
ANnALIEN ACT ANNULLED

WASHINGTON, July 8. -Secretary
of State Hughes has officially noti-
fled the Japanese government that its
nationals, together with all other Ash
atics are excluded under the new inn
migration law, passed by Congress.
The letter records the collapse Of
one of the most unusual attempts to
put pressure on Congress that was
ever witnessed in this country.
The secretary of state, represent
ing the diplomatic branch of the
American government, and the ia
panese ambassador, joined hands in
calling on Congress to postpone ia
panese exclusion for one year. The
purpose was to have the issue settled
by diplomacy, rather than the law
making branch. The Japanese am
bassador went so far as to say grave
consequences" would follow failure of
Congress to postpone action. Sup
porting this unusual combination was
a nationwide propaganda in favor of
the Hughes-Japanese position. The
propaganda revolved around the claim
that friendly nation is insulted."
This propaganda was encouraged by
Japanese interests in this country,
by American attorneys retained by
Japan, by big biz newspapers and
those citizens who can be swayed by
sentimental pleas.
The feature of this propaganda was
disregard of facts by men who
would deny to their own country the
right to take the same position Japan
takes in the case of Korean and Chi
nese immigration.
Congress withstood this powerful
combination and refused to surrender
its prerogative to regulate and con-
troll immigration.
Since Congress passed the law, it
is now revealed that Japanese bust
ness interests started the cry that "a
friendly nation is being insulted." The
sentimental people Of the United
States who took up this cry did not
realize they were aiding Japanese
business men in developing an anti
American spirit that could be used
to boycott American goods in the ORR
ent. When Congress refused to be
bluffed the Japanese government or
dered the anti-American campaign
stopped. 1t was feared American
business interests would call for re-
prisals. This would affect Japan's
silk and rice industry.
