earthS poles the atmosphere would adjust itself
to the earth III position of rest and would hence
forth turn with the earth just as though 1t were
solid part of the earth.
Due to the fact that there is difference in tenn
peratre between the equator and the poles. we have
gneral circulation of the atmosphere.
In addition to this general circulation, there is
local circulation between land and water areas which
is likewise due to temperature changes. These result
from the fact that land and water absorb and reflect
different amounts of the heat received from the sun
Smaller changes introduced into the circula-
ton of the atmosphere by the contour Of land-the
location of mountains, valleys and the like-and by
the presence of lakes.
The earth's rotation must also be ytaken into
count in attempting to understand the circulation OF
the air.
The accompanying illustration shows the general
circulation Of the air which results in the blowing Of
the trade winds.
The air rises at the equator, where a region of
calms and low pressure exists to height OF about six
miles.
Here it is cooled and forced downward, causing
high pressure areas in the northern and southern
hemisphere at latitudes so.
Here the northeast and southeast trade wnds
originate which blow toward the equator.
1t will be seen, therefore, that the trade winds are
merely the lower part Of the general circulation o
atmosphere.

This is part of an international
protective service established as a
result OF the Titanic disaster which
occurred seventeen years ago and in
which 1900 lives were lost.
Every spring, great overhanging
chunks of ice and earth break off
from the Greenland cap to drift
southwark. Some of them stand 200
feet above the water and are as
large as good sized farms, which
conveys only a vague idea of their
real bignesS. since they float seven
eightS submerged.
The submerged section Of an ice
berg has been known to extend a
quarter Of a mile beyond its visible
portion and only few feet beneath
the surface. This. coupled with the
dense fog often prevailing off the
shores of Newfoundland, makes the
peril peculiarly difficult to avoid.

It is not an ignoble dream, for the

No Quarrel With South

IN THIS review the word south"
l. has crept in several times but it
is not used by Dr.. Motion in my
manner. He seems to have no par
ticular quarrel with the southern
white. He himself loves that Sec
ton of the country. Yet he would
take away from the southern white
man one Of his most ready boasts.
Surely we of the north are not much
given to the familiar line, Il know
the Negro"
DR.. Motion ridicules this claim
and sweeps it to one side. He says
that the white man may have
known the Negro under slave condi-
tions but that it is wholly impoS-
sible for him to understand him
now. Segregation stands in the way.
The Negro knows the white mans
home, his hotels and his clubs
where he goes in his capacity as
servant. The white man knows
nothing of the Negroes home.
7 can't remember that the word
equality" appears once in What
the Negro Thinks" Justice" ap-
pears many times. Whatever dream
he may have Of some future time,
DR.. Motion is willing enough that
the black child should play in his
own back yard as things are now.
But he thinks that the Negro should
be allowed to keep his honor.

caffein in tea is so soluble that it is
practically all dissolved out of the
leaf Immediately after infusion.
The tannic acid is dissolved out
more slowly, so that the longer the
tea is stepped, the more tannic acid
there is likely to be in the finished
product. The amount of caffein per
cup in tea varies from p of a grain
to IL grains and the amount OF
tannic acid from o.89 grains to %
grains.
1t is therefore PROBABLY better not
to prolong the infusion because then
TOO much tannic acid will enter into
the finished product, too much OF
the volatile oil will disappear and
the product will be bitter. 1t is not

Scared by the Truth

CPEAKING of prohibition the
- drys seem to be vastly more
worried than the vets over the
coming investigation for which con-
gresS has provided.
They especially are worried about
the personnel Of the board Presi-
dent Hoover will appoint.
Apparently, they want investiga-
tors biased in favor of prohibition
to begin with.
just as apparently, they are afraid
of the other kind
Nothing has occurred thus far
which shows up the attitude of the
prohibition leaders so vividly.
They are not only scared Of
probe by ants, but what is far
worse, by impartial people.
To put it bluntly, they have come
to a point where they are scared of
the truth

tea from the standpoint of taste.
On the other hand, this does help
to throw down the tannic acid in an
inSoluble form.
Coffee depends for its quality and
flavor on the caffein and the oils.
Coffee contains about IL grains Of
cafein per teacup full and 3.24
grains of tannic acid, which is just
about the same as is contained in
an equal quantity of tea.
Therefore from the point of view
of health, there is not much differ
ence between tea and coffee. Either
one used in great excess may be
harmful.
There is no evidence that either
one used in moderation has had
any influence on the length of life
for the average person.

TT SEEMS TO ME By HBR%oGD BaoUS

Grow waiting room is shoddy, dirty
and inadequate.
Certainly the head of Tuskegee
meets the Nordics more than half
way in the political field and l have
always been told that the Negro
must be kept down lest he capture
legislatures and destroy white gov
ernment.
"As for control Of the government
by Negroes" he writes, municipal,
state or national. it is doubtful if
there is one thinking Negro of
American birth who either desires
it or would want to see it come to
pass in any future which he can
visualize. His observations of Negro
control in those countries where it
does exist have not been sufficiently
reassuring to make him wish to try
the experiment here"

DR. ROBERT RUSSA MOTION,
~ the principal Of TuSkegee in
stitute, has written an extraordinary
and elegant book called What the
Negro Thinks" 1t has always
seemed to me that the race prob
lem is the most pressing and the
most interesting question in the
whole realm of our national affairs.
1 have written about it on a great
number of occasions. Tt is by all
odds my favorite topic of conversa-
ton.
And yet I am afraid that within
my own limited sphere I have done
very little good. My sympathieS
have always been with the more
radical Negro leaders and l have
succeeded in irritating very many
and convincing precious few. In
deed, until [ read DR.. Motons book
was inclined to share the opinion
of some of the Negro intellecutalS
that the man was inclined to COM
promise too readily with the stand
pat standards of the white south.
The error was mine, Right or
wrong, DR.. Robert Russa Motion is
pursuing a logical course. He has
framed for himself and his race a
Well-rounded philosophy.
The terms Of this philosophy are
not unfamiliar, but, if Motion and
his men carry it out, as they seem
to be doing, it viii constitute one
Of the very rare practical applica-
tions Of a doctrine to which most
Of lis give lip service. In essence
his scheme for the emancipation
of the Negro is nothing more than
a literal adherence to Christian
passivity.

A Chance-for Daisy and for Indiana

If the conscience Of Indiana can permit an
lsvear-od motherless for seven years, to
serve from two TO fourteen years in peniten-
tary for forging $50 check, the girl can
probably stand it,
She may take even the hard and tragic at
titude of the probation officer from Greene
county v hich sent her TO the woman prison
That officer seemed to think that it was
victory that an 1o-year-old girl would sing on
her way to prison. because inside that prison
she would no longer be subjected to jeers be-
cause Of ne- clothes, no longer feel the pangs
Of munger which She had experienced outside.
She would be md Of feeling Of inequality.
That the girl was hungry was indicated by
the fact that out of he proceeds Of her crime
She bad bought and eaten two oranges. That
may seem criminal in Greene county.
Upon fine statement OF thar probation officer
who describes tha happiness OF the girl on her
way to her long prison term the girl had never
had the sympathetic interest Of one Of her own
sex.
Perhaps Greene county may rest content
under such an Indictment OF heartIessness and
indifference The people Of that community may
he content to go to their churches ON Sundays,
thoir club meetings. their pleasant parties and
denouucc iobIcss. frcndless girl for being
wayward They may even take some consoia-
lion in The fact that not woman or minister
had any part i'm her downfall, because they had
never even spoken to the girl
There are men and women in this state who
believe that the girl should have chance
They believe that Indiana should also have
a chance to demonstrate that it Will not permit
girls to be branded fclons and criminals until
kindness. sympathy. interest, education and
guidance have had chance TO prevent wreck
age OF life.
1t is fine commentary ON humankind that
the workers at the Columbia Conserve Com
pany in this city voted to give the girl employ,
ment among th.ir number, il the Governor
consents TO her release.
That company is conducted by its work
crs. They vote on matters Of policy. They
PASS upon the admission of new workers to
their group.
Among those who know what work is, who
have some social outlook, who can understand
that joblcss and motherless Girl might be
tempted. the Greene county attitude was miss
ing.
The Stale has nothing to lose by giving this
girl chance. 1t has everything to gain IN sell
respect if it demands from the Governor that 1t
rid itself OF the blot OF sending frendless glrI
10 prison for the same term received by
banker who. a friend OF senator's and congress
men. forced checks for Sl5o00o, while this girl
was getting two oranges.
The Greene county standard ought not to be
an Indiana standard of either Justice or mercy.

THE FIRST U. S. MINT
April 2

TODAY is the anniversary of the
Il creation by congress of the first
United States mint.
This act, passed April 2, 1902,
followed closely the suggestions
which had been made by Alexander
Hamilton. His plan was to utilize
both gold and silver as monetary
standards.
He recommended that the ratio
between the two be l to 15-a pro-
portion based on the bullion values
of the time. He favored coinage Of
$40 and 81 gold pieces; 81 and 10
cent silver pieces, and l cent and
u cent coppers.
When the mint act was passed,
however, no provision was made for
a gold dollar. Because of this onlis-
sion, silver coinage advocates later
insisted that the original unit of
value was the silver dollar. 1t is
usually held now that the word
unit" as used in the mint act, ap-
plies to numbers and not to value.
incidentally, the phrase "In God
We Trust" did not appear on United
States coins until 1866. Then, at
the suggestion Of q former Governor
Of Pennsylvania, James Pollock, this
familiar motto was adopted by con-
gTess.

pledge. Even the most casual study

Editor Times-We long have been
readers of The Times, but I wish to
call your attention to an article by
Mr.. Haywood Broun in the March
% issue Of your paper. in which he
places the literary genius Of the
skipper of the I'm Alone above that
of Calvin Coolidge. And so I ask
why compare Mr.. Coolidge with a
foreign bootlegger?. Why place Mr..
Coolidge who at least is an upright,
honorable, Iawabiding American
citizen. below foreign narcotic and
rum runner who has no regard for
the laws of the United States?
I ask, why compare a former
President of the United States with
men who try to tear down the
morals OF the American people?
I say that a man who writes such
an article does not show very much
patriotism, moral decency, or good
judgment And such comparisons
viii not be tolerated by the Amer
lean people.
