something about it and I told the
guards to tell the prisoners that I'd
talk to them late in the afternoon
in the mess hall. For some reason

and put on white shirt and white

that later, but at the time I guess
I had some feeling that maybe this

well do things right.

A MEXICAN correspondents for
1 4 the last few months have been
sending from Europe encomiun1s for
new method of. treating tubercu-
losis credited to DR.. Gerson, who,
it seems, has been working with the
famous Professor Sauerbruch, wide
ly known for his discoveries in con-
nection with surgery of the chest
in tuberculosis.
The Gerson diets have been
studied in many institutions and
results are beginning to appear
which define their limitations.
AS was found to be the case with
other methods of treating tuber-
culosis, such good effects as are
reported seem to concern tuber-

SCIENCE
'PIutonic' ObSerUdtOrieS Adj
vocated for Studying the
Problems of the Earth's
Interior.
By DAVID DIETZ

DR. HARLOW SHAPLEY, direc-
~ tor of the Harvard observatory,
whose own researches have dealt
with the most distant stars and neo-
ulae, come forward with plan for
studying the interior of the earth.
He plans what he calls ''plutonic"
observatories, to do for the earth
what astronomical obServatories have
done for the heavens.
The suggestion is doubly inter-
esting, since Professor Shapley Is
its author, for Shapleys chief work
to date has been pushing out the
limits of the universe.
Thanks. to the work of DR.. Shap-
ley, we know that the universe is
at least 10000 times as large as it
was thought to be twenty years ago.
DR.. Shapley began his work with
the study of the so-called Magel-
lanic clouds, two luminous patches
Of light in the southern hemisphere
of the heavens. They look like
pieces Of the Milky Way which have
broken loose.
AS in the case of the Milky Way,
the telescope reveals that they are
composed of thousands upon thou
sands Of stars.
He showed by his researches that
these clouds were very much far
ther away than the Milky Way. He
showed that the smaller cloud was
102,00 light-years away and the
larger, 10000 A light-year is the
distance which a beam of light trav-
els in a year, 6,o00,00o,00O miles.
Subsequent work of Shapley and
others showed that the spiral neb-
ulae were yet farther away.

It's StupendouS Task


TT will be long time before ev-
Il cry conflict will be accepted as
a signal for general strife, or before
we can dismiss the problem of ig-
noring neutral rights, on the ground
that neutrality has become obso-
lete
One can believe that the world is
approaching situation in which
the great governments not are only
willing to establish an international
court, but an international police
force to back it up, and still realize
that the accomplishment is centur-
les away.
We are dealing with a stupendous
conception, a conception that re-
peals many of our pet traditions and
ideals.
Nothing less than sheer idiocy
Supposes that it can be translated
into effective action over night.
Under present conditions, the
thought of such super-sovereignty
is too Earring for complete accept
ance.
Though great governments may be
willing to bind themselves not to
make war individually, and though
public opinion may be against war
in times of tranquility, even civilized
nations have not arrived at point
where they are ready to pool inter-
eSts for the sake of worldwide law
enforcement.
Wisely enough, they are attacking
the problem cautiously-trying out
methods and compacts in tenta-
tive way.
Some folks denounce this as hy-
pocrisy, declaring that statesmen
are doing merely no more than they
must to keep the people quiet, and
that their real purpose is to leave
the peace movement so weak that
it will crunlble under the first strain.
LAY the ak to the root of the
tree" say these folks. IF the idea
is good, let's put it into effect: if
not, let's abandon it."
Fine, but things are not done that
way, especially big things.
Once in a while human nature
turns q complete somersault. The
French did in 1889 and the Rus
slams in 1917.
The American revolution was bet
ter planned-and left far less to do
over again.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1929-12-16

COMMUNISTS and the British
~ government appear to have one
idea in common. That is that we're
all going to become belligerents.
Without analysing the communist
proposition, the British government
reasons that the Kellogg pact ends
neutrality.
The reasoning runs something
like this: Since all nations, or
practically all, have signed a treaty
outlawing war, it follows that any
nation making war is an outlaw,
and that the rest must be arrayed
in opposition.
Eventually, that may happen. just
now, we are betting on the hope
that everybody will keep a contract,
without any authority to enforce it.
If this hope turns sour. as It may,
it will be time enough to think of
something else. Until then, how
ever, signatories of the kellogg
pact will look to public opinion for
support, and evade the responsibility
OF flying to arms every time some
government breaks it.
OF course, the possibility Of a
country remaining neutral is
Shrivelling every day, not only be-
cause of the Kellogg pact, but be-
cause OF the modern economic
structure.
AS the recent war proved, it is
growing harder and harder for ma
tons not to take one side or the
other.
Still Switzerland remained neutral,
though right in the center of the
melee, and SO did Holland, Den
mark, Sweden, Norway and Spain.

More Cold Weather
Shown in Betting Odds

The slightly premature debut OF
spring weather in Washington is
likely to be interrupted with a drop
in the temperature.
A rain Of the mid.ApriI variety
is booked for tonight by the sfarps
of the Weather Bureau, but the
rather unreasonable balminess sof
the past two days probably win
come to an end within the next ~
hours.
The betting still holds good that
there will be considerable streak
of cold weather in the Capital be-
fore spring arrives officially and
permanently.

That Juneau, the capital of se Territory, is the hotbed of the bureaucratS in Alaska there is none to deny. The real Alaskans residing there have been so long under the iron heel of Federal officials who swarm around there that the Alas Kans not imported have become servile condoners of all the conspiracies conceded by the bureau crats to rob t.e Territory.
 Whenever the imported stock ask for a little additional salary to be paid by the Territory i'll violation of law these Juneau people smile Ser- enely and say Thank you"
 They have pedded out Territorial offices to legislators for surrender of personal rights as American citizens until there is nothing but the shell left to the Organic Act our Territorial Constitution. So familiar have voters of the First Division become with this dcplorable condition of political affairs in the capital city resident of Juneau nominated for public office is heavily handicap pped a candidate, for the people of the First Division well know that the Alaskans resid ing in Juneau long ago became the servile sycho plants of the imported Federal Bureaucrats and offer no resistance to their conspiracies to bleed the Territorial Treasury and domineer over our legislative officalS.-The Petersburg ALASKAN.
