JUNEAU DAIRY NOW MAKING ICE CREAM;
 IS $3,000 PLAN I

L. H. Smith, of the Juneau Dairy, recently installed $3,00o plant for ice cream making and although his product has only been on the market for several weeks, and the output is limited, general satisfaction has been eX- pressed everywhere by consumers on the quality of the goods.
 The plant is manufactured by the Delco and Frigidaire Company and the process is known as the brine system" MT. Smiths plant has a capacity of 80 gallons a day but his storage capacity is limited to only 60 gallons. He is experi- menting with the new system and the product turned out yesterday was "velvety", the best so far. Continued change of formulas VIII be made until the ice cream will be able to compete with any other make. In the Spring MT. Smith hopes to generally cater to both wholesale and home business by making additions to his plant. At present he is manufacturing only three flavors, vanilla, chocolate and strawberry.

"Know Thyself."

An Institute of Human Relations Is to
be established at Yale University to
conduct scientific research into human
behavior in all its phases.
This undertaking will have the enor-
nous initial endowment of $7,500,000,
nearly all of which comes from the
Rockefeller Foundation and the Laura
Spellman Rockefeller Memorial. The
institution will be unique in the educa-
tional world. Aside from its own i'm
portance, it calls attention to the rapidly
increasing interest Of the scientific world
in the phenomena of man.

facility for making quotable platitudes.
His words have echoed from pulpit and
rostrum with tiresome persistence, but
only recently have they been interpreted
very seriously. The years since the war
have witnessed an outcropping every
where of sociological, psychological and
educational enterprises. The new instt-
tute at Yale will be notable milestone
in this movement in the study Of the

Identification Through Bunting.

With a Quadrennial momentouS event
still fresh in mind, and disregarding the
angle of the weather, which succeeded
in bedraggling SO many aspects of a
colorful pageant, occurs the thought as
to the improvement in the recent flag
decorations over the hit-or miss, in
finitely varied and often unconsciouSly
incorrect displays of decades long since
gone by. For this gratifying progress
credit goes largely to the District de-
partments of the American Legion and
the Veterans of Foreign Wars. whose
simple yet harmonious scheme was
followed.
This scheme, long sponsored by these
organizations, bore its first fruit in the
celebration held in honor of Lindbergh's
homecoming nearly two years ago. It's
repetition was even more successful and
it is to be hoped that it will continue,
with possible small improvements,
throughout the years to come. No one
who can recall inaugurals and similar
public celebrations of the 1880s and
1905 and the first decade of the pres
ent century can fail to remember the
jumbled appearance of the line of
march, the juxtaposition of great and
little banners, the flags hung wrong,
the bunting of curious shapes and pat
terms displayed in the oldest imaginable
positions. During the celebration just
ended the eye was met by long lines of
Old Glory, all of size and all flying
from copper stats substantially set and
evenly spaced along curbstones, and by
facades which had received decorative
treatment along in specified dignifed
style. Moreover, the merchants and
other property Owners who co-operated
with the Veterans Flag Committee,
composed of representatives of the two
organizations named and headed by
Maj. Gen. Amos A. Fries as chairman,
thereby saved themselves many hard
earned dollars.
The Commission of Fine Arts
approved this scheme some time ago.
Its later approval in the minds of both
the local and visiting public must have
been nearly unanimous and the time
cannot be far off when every commu-
nifty, large and small, will follow this
idea which approaches an ideal.

Members-Elect, Take Notice!

The call for an extra session of Con-
gress Just made by President Hoover
comes in the form of a proclamation.
It constitutes the sole notice to the
members of the Seventy-flrst Congress
that they are to assemble here on the
18th of April to enact legislation for
farm relief and tariff revision. 1t has
from the beginning of the American
Government thus been the practice,
whenever the occasions has arisen, to
proclaim" the calling of a meeting
of the Congress outside of the regular
sessions provided for by the Constitu-
ton. In this proclamation the Presi-
dent, after noting the date and hour of
the meeting of the House and the Sen
ate, says that "all persons who shall at
that time be entitled to act as members
thereof are hereby required to take
notice"
In these times a proclamation of this
character gains immediate and COM
plete attention. The printing of the
Presidents announcement is effected
simultaneously in all parts Of the coun-
try. Within few hours after the is
suance of the proclamation every men,
ker-elect of the Seventy-first Congress
was made aware of the fact that on the
18th Of April that body will meet IN
this city. But in former times, in the
davs of governmental beginning, there
was no such completeness OF notice.
The proclamation had to be sent out
by courier and by post, and, by du-
nlicate copies and by crier, brought to
the attention of the people in city, town
and hamlet. Weeks were needed thus
TO carry the word of an executive man
date or any other governmental action.
Although the House of Representa-
tives Is not continuing body, as Is the
Senate, a staff is maintained from Con-
gress to Congress for purposes OF reor-
ranization. The non-member officers
of the House, elected at the beginning
of each Congress. hold over until dis
placed by successors or reelected.
Through them the personnel of the
membership Of the House can be
reached, so that in case Of need, If the
proclamation mode of summons should
not suffice, the niembers-elect of the
new Congress could be directly in
formed through the medium of the
clerk of the House. The Senate being
a continuing body, it is always possible
to reach the members of that branch of
Congress by official summons. But
there is no occasion for this specific
notification. The proclamation of the
President sufices

Lieut.. Col. Grant to Remain.

Revocation of the order relieving
Lieut.. Col U. S. Grant, Sd, from duty
as director Of Public Buildings and Pub
lie Parks, to take effect in August, Is
highly gratifying to the people OF
Washington with whom this officer has
become closely acquainted during his
present tour of duty. He was assigned
to Washington a little more than three
years ago, and in that period he has
become closely identified with the Of
fetal and social life Of the Capital His
transfer to duty at the Army War Col
lege was in the way of routine observ-
ance Of the customary three-year term
for special details. President Hoover
has now directed that the change of
duties be postponed in order that Col
! Grant may remain at post at which
he is engaged in important tasks in the
discharge Of which he has demonstrated
exceptional capacity.
, The process of developing the Cap
ttars public building and park system
is under way. Col. Grant has taken part
in the preliminary works and is in
timately acquainted with the details of
the various projects. His retention on
duty here at the head of the Bureau of
Public Buildings and Public Parks gives
assurance that there will be no slacken-
Ing in the constructions and develop
ments that are now in hand or in the
working out of the scheme of the Park
and Planning Commission. of which he
is a member.

White Wings and Accidents.

More than occasionally one hears the
criticism that traffic here in Washing
ton is worse than in New York" 1t
> may be that the National Capital has
a higher percentage Of incompetent
drivers, so that its broad streets are less
safe both fer motorists and pedestrians
than the narrow canyons of Manhattan,
but figures recently published point
plainly to the fact that for the white
Wings" who must stay at all times be-
tween curb and curb, Washington is a
far less dangerous place in which to
pursue this always hazardous calling.

This is hardly an exaggeration, but with
the host of literally endowed Child
Study centers which recently have
appeared all over the country It will not
| hold true in the future. :
Science during the past half century
has explored the mysterious vastness of
the cosmos and the even more mysteri-
Gus littleness of the atom. But the
greatest and most interesting mysteries
Of, ALL the nature of man and Of
society, have been left almost untouched.
Perhaps this has been due to the in
herent difficulty of the subjects. A man
is harder to study than an electron and
newborn baby than spiral nebula.
The electron and the nebula are cal-
culable. The human being is largely
lncalcuable. The subject does not lend
itself to the microscope, the Telescope
or the electroscope.
Science has been inclined to take
which for granted-a known point from
which to proceed to the investigation of
the unknown. In the past much of
mankinds knowledge of itself has been
interpretive and unreliable, simply be-
cause there has been no technique for
objective study. 1t has been q domain
of philosophy rather than science, with
no instruments of exact measurement
and detached observation. ... ''-
Some progress has been made in over
coming this deficiency. It cannot be
denied, however, that much work re-
mains to be done before science even
has the tools upon which it can rely.
Printing presses have groaned under
the weight of the bunk" purporting to
explain human behavior which has been
foisted on the world during the past
decade. 1t is extremely hard for the
layman to separate the sound from the
unsound in this avalanche of sociology,
anthropology and psychology.
But man at least has turned back to
the dictum of the wise Socrates, Know
myself" He is coming to the realiza-
ton that he himself is the supreme
mystery-that' there are greater depths
in his own mind than in, the Milky
Way.
The Rockefellers have sensed this
movement and appear to be turning
rapidly the enormous funds at their
disposal to the support of such studies.
These millions seem destined to play
as important part in the development
of the science of man as the Carnegie
millions have played in the progress of
the physical and biological sciences.
They are endowing more and more work
of this kind every year-the climax
being the Yale endowment.
