It is little difficult to picture just what the atom
is like, according to Scflroedinger
The atom is little sphere OF electricity accorolng
to his theory The electricity is densest at the center
This dense center corresponds to the nucleus OF the
atom in the Bohr theory.
Instead of having eectrons revolving around the
nucleus Schroedinger has the little sphere of cleo
tricity vibrating pulsatng.
For each configuration of eectron orbits in the
Bohr theory, he puts forward complex vibration Or
wave motion in the sphere Of electricity.
One might think, therefore OF each atom as little
pulsating balloon of electricity.
But balloon is not quite the right word because the
atom according to Schroednger,. does not have any
clear and distinct surface
The electrical density is greatest at the center OF
the atom and fades away to approximately zero at
distance which corresponds to the orbit Of the outer
most electron in the Bohr theory The atom, there
FORE has fuzzy outline like the blurred outlines in
photograph which is out of focus.
Physicists are inclined to accept the Schroedinger
theory because it works better than the Bohr theory
The fact that it is harder to understand and that il
gives most weird picture of the nature of reality
does not concern them
What they say in effect is: We'll, apparently that
is the kind of a universe it happens to be-"

Britain ErrS in Tariff

The idea of government monopoly
through tariffs or restrictions looks
all right on paper. The trouble
with it is that it fails to include all
the territory.
Because Great Britain had
good patch of rubber ia the East
Indies, she thought she could hold
up the rest of the world and force
it to pay her tribute.
What she overlooked was the
fact that her original rubber plants
had come from South America,
that South America was rubber's
natural habitat and that all it
needed to come back into the
market was a little capital and
enterprise.
There are very few crops in this
world but what can be grown on
much larger areas than are now
devoted to them. This is something
governments should remember
when they undertake TO levy tribute
on the rest of humanity by curtail-
ing production, or boosting the price
of some commodity by other arti-
fetal means,

1t was not only to promote coun-
try club that Harry f. Sinclair
bought a third interest in former
Secretary Falls ranch at Three
Rivers, N. M, but to get hold of a
good oil prospect, and he paid in
Liberty bonds, not because he lacked
the cash, but because he had in
vested heavily in them, like every
other patriotic American"
At any rate, that is the way his
attorney puts it.
A gusher, spouting 100000 bar
relS day, had been brought in
somewhere "close by" the Fall ranch,
and Mr.. Sinclair, keen on the scent
as always, could not withstand the
temptation of making himself a
partner.
What nose for petroleum, what
a business head, and what a fine
proof of devotion to his country MI
Sinclair furnishes by closing the
deal with Liberty bonds!

SAYS:

While the result in Illinois could
hardly be described as a triumph for
clean politics, it was certainly de-
feat for dirty politics.
Faced with the choice of two evils,
the Republican voters OF that State
put their heels squarely on the big
ger one and Squashed it.
There is little left of the Small
Crowe-Thompson machine by a dis
gruntled memory.
The domineering government
went down beneath a majority OF
100000, the loud-mOuthed States
attorney suffers an equally ruthless
reputation and the blowsy mayor
fails not only to retain leadership
Of the city machine, bat Of that in
his own ward.

Big Bill Should Resign

"Big Bill" Thompson's idea that
something should be done to save
America" has borne fruit.
You can't fool all the people all
the time even in Chicago. Eventual
ly they will get the idea that q wide
open town, hoodlumism, gang rule
and unrestralned vice, arc more de-
structive of Americanism than a few
paragraphs in some text book with
which prejudice can find fault.
If Mayor Thompson had any sense
Of propriety, he would resign, as the
Chicago Tribune suggests, and so in
for training white rats.

Paonle Are Interesting

AS soon as Henry Ford landed in England, ne
told the reporters what he there for IT going
to see the English people" he said. Il am particu-
larly Interested in people. In fact it's the only thing
1 am interested in"
Henry is right. People are the greatest thing in
the world There is nothing more interesting. This
would be dreary oo world if there were no people
on it. There would be nobody to read newspapers Or
buy flivvers.
The more you consider it, the sounder Henry's
philosophy sounds. Everywhere the traveller goes ne
finds people. If one gets tired of live ones there
always are graveyards to visit those silent COM
munities whose population never grows less. So
things being what they are, might well keep up
our interest in people.

Nothing but WAGES
NO. "a.

NOTHING exists in the universe but waves of en-
ergy according to the latest scientific theory, the
So-called Schroedinger wave mechanics.
The chemist had shown that all matter was made
up of tiny PARTICLES called molecules which, in turn
we're composed of atoms.
The atoms, in turn, were believed to be composed
of electrons
But Schroednger has changed that. According to
his theory, atom is just mass of wave energy.

On April 2, c. P. had published in
your paper an article censuring
Postmaster Robert H. Bryson for his
article on "Postman Saves Four
Miles Daily by Walking Lawns" be-
cause Bryson did not mention the
savings to the Government. If all
Government employees had the same
attitude as G. P, there would be
very little saved for the one pay
ing our bills.
Evidently c. P has had very little
experience, as he speaks of cross
ing lawns, which is not required,
while on inspection of his route. Fit
during the days of heavy mail, cross
ing lawns is a great help to any
carrier
Postal employees are drawing sal
aries which should cause one to
strive to save and use some judg-
ment for the Government the same
as in working for any employer.

it. When Bryson was appointed
postmaster all this stopped, making
working conditions much better.

Editor Times:

Editor Times:
1t is somewhat amusing to read
the editorials of The Times Claim
ing to be an independent paper, to
see how it is working to try to make
the people think Hoover is the
choice Of the Republican voters for
President, while I have the first
Republican voter here as yet to hear
say that he is for Hoover.
If The Times is independent. why
begin to work for Hoover so soon,
not knowing who the Democrats
are going to nominate?
l have been a reader of The
Times for almost four years and
commend it highly for its persistent
efforts and the good work it has
done to expose and punish the
present officials Of both State and
city who have betrayed the voters
who elected them to office and dis
graced the name of our great State
and city.
I certainly am glad to see the
GOOD work go on, (ot which The
Times has done more than any
other paper, but do not approve
of the idea of dickering with a set
of crooks to plead guilty to charges,
the penalty of which does not in
clude a prison sentence, as some
think Mr.. Remy is going to do.
I do not call to mind OF any
such things as having been done in
cases where some poor laboring man
has stolen something to keep his
family from want. Why not let the
law take its course in these cases?
If this, or any part of it, is
Objectionable, you can throw it out,
but still will be a Times reader, as
1 think you have done more to
clean up politics in Indiana than all
the other papers in the State, but
do not agree with you always, which
is very natural with the American
people.

BY ELECTION
~: B. g. FORBES


Stock nlarketwise the presiden-
tial election has changed nothing
because wall street ali along had
acted on the confident assunap-
ton that Mr.. Hoover would be
victorious. Consequently, yester-
days operations on the New York
Stock Exchange differed little
from those Of many other days,
except that the first hours deal
ings were extraordinarily heavy
and the rise was more than
ordinarily spirited In several
groups.
1T may or may not be sig
nificant that the earliest prices
were the best OF the day. Later
the market acted as IN rather ex.
tensive profit-taking were being
quietly conducted. It would not
at ali astonish bankers II profit
taking were to become more
pronounced.
Let 1T be said here. however. that
Americas bankers have lost con.
troll Of the money market. They
used to be the arbiters of credit.
When New York's banking pow-
ers-that-be formerly decided that
it was time to call a halt upon ex-
pansion Of brokers' loans, the ex.
pansion was effectively stopped.
This cond ition ID entirely
changed. Almost every resp0n-
sible banker in New York and
elsewhere reached the conclusion
some time ago that expansion OF
brokers' loans was going altogether
too far. New York bankers began
to reduce their own lending very
substantially. But their efforts
to curtail the total borrowing
proved utterly futile. Outside
lenders scorporations individuals
foreign interests, etc, came for.
ward, first with billion dollars
then with two Billions Of dollars,
and now they have started supply
ing third billion to brokers.
Bankers admit that they are ilIl-
potent at least for the time being.
They are alarmed over the situar
tion. for they declare, privately =
not publicly, that day OF reckon
ing must and viii come. They
confess that they will be unable
to stem any decentralization which
may break out. because they have
not enough funds on hand or
within reach to take the place OF
heavy Withdrawals OF unregulated
outside money when that occurs.
Financial interests. in the past
were always credited with being
the dominating forces in the So
curity markets. That. too, has
been changed. The dominating
interests for at least the last
two years have been Tnultinil-
lionaire business men,, mostly
heads or influential executives
Of large corporations These men
have been consistently buIlishs
consistently optimistic on the out,
look for American industry and
American stocks. SO far, their
expectations have been abundant-
ly falfilled. Stocks have SCARED
far above levels regarded by con-
servative bankers as safe and
sane. The public, too, has been
attracted to the market in ltil-
precedented numbers. High mon
ey rates have not scared either
the powerful manipulators or the
public.
