Another sidelight on the Graf
Zeppelin's visit to America is re-
vealed by the way our naval radio
compass stations have employed her
going and coming. BY picking up
her signals and comparing the re-
suits they are able to determine her
exact position every time she sends
a message. Though this may sound
complicated, it is simple.
The radio-compass station con-
sists of receiving set operatd on
loop. When message comes in
the operator turns the loop until
it grows dead. When dead the loop
is broadside to the source of the
message, and a line drawn perpen-
dicularly to it would pass through
that source. Taking the perpen
dicular lines so drawn from any two
radio-compass stations widely Sepa
raid, it is possible to compute tn
exact location Of the message by
triangulation.

Beyond the Beyond

Speaking of horizons, a 2O0-incl,
telescope will be erected at Pasa-
dena, Cal. This is not only the
largest telescope ever proposed but
twice as large as any now in ex-
istence. With it, we are informed,
astronomers may be able to count as
many as 500,000,000 additional stars
When a 400-inch telescope is
erected, they will probably be able
to count 5O0,0Oo,0O0 more.
1t used to be thought that we
some day would find the end of
space, that beyond that we call our
universe, there was blank. Such u
theory has become obsolete. The
farther we penetrate, the more we
see. All existence seems to be
the same. The more we learn, the
more we achieve, the larger pros
poets we face.

Lister, revolutionzed surgery by applying PaSteurS
ideas to the practice of surgery.
Joseph Lister was born in Upton Essex England
April 5, 1927. He was the son of Joseph jackson
Lister who had made a reputation in the fields of
optics for the improvements which he introduced
into the compound mscroscope.
The elder Lister had improved vastly the usefulness
of the microscope by removing many of the causes
of distortion Until his time the compound micro
magnified.
Joseph Lister educated at Quaker schools and
in 1914 entered University college, London. He re-
ceived his B. A. degree in 1847 He entered the study
of medicine receiving his M. B. and F. r. G. S. in
1852.
He became house surgeon at the University college
hospital While at this hospital he witnessed ter
rife outbreak of what then called hospital gan
CREME He saw patient after patient attacked by gan
creme.
He also noted what was one of the battling prob
lens of the day. When patient had fractured arm
leg and the fracture a simple one the outer
skin being unbroken, the patient invariably got well
rather quickly
But in the cases of compound fractures, where the
skin was broken and there was open wound, all
sorts of difficulties set in Blood poisoning gangrene
and all sorts of infections almost the common
history of cases.
From London Lister went to Edinburg, rising from
the position of house surgeon to that of professor
of clinical surgery at the University of Edinburgh.
At Edinburgh Lister began to turn his attention
to the difficulties of surgical practice
Why did hospital gangrene and other infections
break out? Why were compound fractures followed
by infections often? Lister began to seek the
Swer to these questions.
AS we shall see he solved the problems by applying
Pasteur's work to surgery.

School of Adventure

The trip of the Graf Zeppelin
hardly would have been complete
if Clarence Terhune had not crashed
the gate and tucked himself away
in the mail room.
Now he is peeling potatoes, but
still happy. He has done some
thing that most people thought could
not be done, or that they lacked the
courage to try even if they did think
it could. If he lives to have grand
children, he will tell them the story
with glee, and they will enjoy it
quite as much as he does.
Some writer's describe Clarence as
a vagabond, but that remains to be
proven. He may turn out to be just
another wanderer. Then again he
may use the knowledge he is ac-
quiring and the originality he is de-
veloping to better purpose.
Whatever else Clarence may be
doing, he is getting a lot of in
formation. No boy can hitch-hike
all over the United States, beat his
way to Alaska on a government
cruiser, and outwit such array of
guards as surrounded the Graf Yep
pelin without developing brains and
courage.
1t may be a different sort of a
career than most mothers would
choose for their sons, but it is not
an unmiXed evil.
Clarence Terhune probably has
learned as much during his nineteen
restless years as he would have in
school. His future depends on the
use he makes of it.

1T is a common conception that
Il much exposure to outdoor air
builds resistance to the common
cold, that the way to keep from
having colds is to submit oneself
to extremes Of temperature.
The notion is comparable to the
symbolic belief that smallpox could
be conquered by putting velvet
hangings on the windows.
Scientific evidence as to the sus-
ceptibility of the Eskimo to the
common cold it now available
through the results of research by
Drs. Peter Heinbecker and Edith I.

diseases in Greenland in 1926.

Reason

T TITLE Michael, the 7-year-old
IL king of Rumania, stood on the
balcony at Bucharest reviewing the
infantry, cavalry, artillery and air
planes on his seventh birthday, but
the layout was not of his selection.
If it had been the procession would
have consisted of Peter Rabbit,
Jack and the Beanstalk. Jack and
Jill, Little Boy Blue, Jack Horner.
Polly Flinders, Cinderella. the Old
Woman Who Lived in a Shoe. Sim
pie Simon, Little Miss Muffet,
Humpty Dumpty, Jack the Nimble,
Mother Hubbard, Little Red Riding
Hood. Tommy Tucker and, to wird
up the parade the COW that jumped
over the moon.
These bandits who held up the
bank at Gary and robbed the two
lawyers who were in the act of de-
posting their hard-earned savings,
we're utterly destitute of fraternal
feeling.
Senator La Follette's greatest
problem is to stay just far enough
within the Republican party to en-
able him to withdraw from it regu-
larly during campaigns, much to the
evaporation OF the Bourbons.
In way, this is the most obliging
presidential campaign we've ever
had, inasmuch as every speaker and
every voter is permitted to select the
paramount issue for himself.

There could not possibly be
higher form of courage than that
displayed by Senators Norris and
La Toilette when they bolted Hoover
and declared for Smith, for they
know full we'll that if Hoover is
elected, they never will be invited to
a White House breakfast.
Instead of sausage, they'll get cold

The Solution

TEERE we have an unlocking
L 1play, without which correct
solution is impossible.
South leads the four of diamonds.
West wins with the ten and North
plays the eight west next leads
his spades, North discarding q
club and South winning the trick
with the queen.
South now leads his queen Of
clubs, which North wins with the
ace, no matter what West plays.
North then leads his six of dia-
monds, allowing South to finesSe
through East.
OF course, if West leads club in
stead of a spade at the second trick
North plays his ace and then
illnesses his diamond, South taking
his spade trick at the end.
But the main point is that North
play his eight instead of his six Of
diamonds on the opening trick-al,
though If East instead Of West wins
the trick, the diamond fineSSe be-
comes unnecessary.

we believe the indeterminate SEN
tence law is an enemy of law and
order.
For instance, a gentleman at
Muncie, holding public Office, steals
more than $15O,OOO, pleads guilty,
and gets the same sentence he
would have got had he stolen a
secondhand f1ivver.

For the rest of his campaign,
Smith should ask his audience to
refrain from Kissing and groaning
when he mentions the names of
prominent Republicans, for the
effect of broadcasting such asininity
is decidedly detrimental to the cause
of Mr.. Smith.
The death of these six California
people. caused by their cars plung-
ing over cliff when the driver was
blinded by the lights of an ap-
preaching machine, calls attention
to the almost universal violation
OF the dimming law.

The Mans the Thing

TN the handling Of our foreign affairs" said
Governor Smith in his Baltimore speech cit is largely
the personal equation"
mentally, the foreign policies of the two major parties
are very similar, everything depending upon how the
man elected will interpret his party pledges.
For instance. Governor Smith and Herbert Hoover
agree outawry, arbitration, and conciation
Cooperation with the rest of the world to promote In
ternatona peace, fair play for Latin America,
interference in the purely domestic affairs of other
tions maintenance of the Monroe Doctrine and pro-
lection of American lives and property abroad
But until the occasion itself arises how the
people of this country to know how Smith Hoover
will interpret this common policy?
Suppose the marines were out of Nicaragua and an
armed outbreak followed, endangering American lum-
ber fruit and other interests down there, along with
American lives If Smith were President, what would
he do?
One side would call the outbreak revolution The
other side would call it banditry Some would say the
disturbance, whatever it's nature, purely do
nestle affair, others would call it to Amer
lean lives and property warranting Intervention.
What would Smith dor What would Hoover do?
Smith might sincerely believe it case calling for
protection of American lives and property" Hoover
might just as sincerely believe the revolt Mica
ragua's private business. Or vice versa
At this distance nobody can tell which would do
which, it is futile say either can
didate would do.

definitely that the catching of a
cold depends on con tact with per-
sons who have colds and that the
Eskimo by the the nature of his
living has not built up any special
resistance.
Among the Polar Eskimos not a
single case of infection of the
breathing tract had appeared until
the arrival Of the expedition which
had among its members a few with
colds. Within Seventy-two hours
after the arrival of the expedition
nearly every Eskimo in the settle
ment had a cold.
The most important fact observed
was that the Eskimo does not de-
velop resistance to colds, since the
condition disappears after a period
but reappears promptly just as soon

as a new expedition arrives at the
settlements.
Persons with colds who carry the
germs bring them into the camps,
where they spread rapidly to those
who come in contact with the car
rierS.
It was the opinion of the investi-
gators, in fact, that the Eskimo APP
parently has an increased suscepti-
bility to infections of the breathing
tract which resembles that of all
primitive groups when new infec-
tons are brought among them.
When measles first was introduced
by white man in the Farce islands
the epidemic was terrific and killed
hundreds Of persons.

duced to the American Indian, thou

Unlike the old days, major league
managers now are quite well
supplied with assistants No longer
does the entire task of bossing a
team fall on the shoulders of one
mantle pilot. An assistant or two
relieves the manager of many de-
tails nowadays.
Among the latest members of the
first lieutenant brigade is Ray
Schalk, former catcher and manager
of the Chicago White Sox. Schalk
one Of the greatest of backstops, will
be chief aide to John McGraw of
the Giants next season. Mcbride,
who joins Detroit, is another.
Schalk, a great player, found little
success in the managerial role. In
this he was no different than Cobb
and other famous FASTENERS, who
encountered only $3.50 success in
the pilots job after starring in ac-
tive competition.
Schalk, however, should prove of
much assistance to McGraw. He
knows the game from A to z and
back again. He should be especially
valuable in helping develop the
Giant pitchers.
Schalk, incidentally, is another
former big league manager to join
