Bigger and Bigger Riots

Michigan, it is reported is planning to send her
habitua drunks to prison for terms of fifteen
years. If this be true, it would seem that she is
aching for bigger and better riots in her penal 1ns
tutions.
If there is anything of which we may be certain
relative to the startling prison outbreaks of the last
year. it is that they out of the overcrowding of
the institutions and the growing hopeessness of the
inmates Both of these factors chiefly due to the
long sentences imposed under 'habitual criminal
laws"
In other words, our prisons evidently are breaking
down because their housing facilities and their ad-
ministration not bear up under the increasing
strain of aing the convict class Handling bona hde
criminals brings them to the breaking point
Whereupon Michigan proposes to solve the situa-
ton by asking the state penitentiary to assume also
the burden of acting a Jail, alms-house dypso-

tions in which confirmed inebriates might be con-

A Job for Congress

Pressing the many problems which con-
front congress at the regular session, it should find
time to consider and dispose of Muscle Shoals by
repassage of the Norris bill providing for continued

plant delegates to recent conference of the Public

1t for fifty times that. Nearby cities begging for
power are denied it.
This situation often is blamed on congress. But
1t should not be forgotten that two years ago Pres
dent Coolidge pocket-vetoed the Norris bill. which
would have set the turbines to humming and put the
nitrate plant in operation.
Nor should it be forgotten that all the great re-

to which it must give attention the tariff BILL tax

War Drum
DERHAPS, all the early WI

DERHAPS, all the early wars of
l. primitive peoples were inspired
by some sort of tom-tom. The men
of a village lived in their little val
ley happily enough and flshed and
shot and raised families. Then one
day some local fiend began to pound
a stick upon stretched leather.
An uneasinesS ran through the
happy valley. He increased the beat.
They could no longer sit before
their hearths. Music of that sort
has an effect like alcohol.
And so the villagers marched out
of the valley and over the hills of
the horizon. On ahead went the
drummer, teasing them forward out
of peace and out of sleep under the
stars.
In jungles still the drum can
shake the savage into fury and our
own civilization is fimsy stuff
against the excitement of an oom-
pah-oom.
And so resented the. band tune
and the battle march of the Dona-
hue show. I don't like to go to
laugh and remain to be all hot and
bothered.
So when we turn the swords into
plowshares, it might be a good idea
to make scrap baskets of the drums
and melt the bugles down for ash
trays.
Very likely the sirens of the
legend didn't sing at all Instead,

SCIENCE
BY DAVID DIETZ-
Popcorn Stand on Campus
Scene of Famous Erperi-
ments InUoLVing the Elm
stein Theory.

ON the campus of Case School Of
" Applied Science in Cleveland
stands little wooden shelter. Oc-
casionally a passing autoiSt will
wonder what that popcorn stand is
doing on the college campus"
The shelter houses the Nicholson
Morley interferometer, the apparat-
us with which Professor Dayton C.
Miller of Case insists he has dis
proved one of the fundamental
tenets of the EinStein theory.
And by a strange turn of fate, 1t
is almost a replica of the apparatus
with which the original experiment
was performed upon which the Elm
stein theory was based.
Perhaps few people realize that
the, Einstein theory actually had its
beginnings in Cleveland. 1t began
with an attempt by Professor A. A.
Nicholson, famous American Scien-
tist, who then was professor of
physics at Case, and the late DR..
Edward w Morley, then professor
of chemistry at Western Reserve
university Of Cleveland, to measure
the motion of the earth through the
ether of space.
According to the commonly ac-
cepted theory. all space is filled
with medium upon which light
and radio waves travel. This is
known as the ether. Our earth, in
it's journey around the sun, is plOW-
ing through this intangible ether.

marily as a protective covering and
which has not within it any stim-
ulating elements for taking up or
aSsimilating nutritive material.
The blood vessels that come to the
skin, like those in other portion of
the body, are controlled by nerves
which can dilate them or contract
them.
When the nerves dilate the blood
vessels, more blood cones into the
skin, and conversely when the blood
vessels contract, less bleed comes in.
The nerves in the skin react to
many influences. If person bushes,
his blood vessels dilate; if he faints,
the blood vessels contract. If a per-
son takes alcohol his face fushes,
and if he eats too much he is likely
to have flushed complexion.

low water to pass through it or any
substances that may be in solution
in water. A person can be put in a
bathtub full of water and kept there
for many days he will not be any
more thirsty due to water passing
out of his body, nor will he swell out
due to water passing into the body.
If the water is very hot, he will
perspire and due to the loss of water
from his body by perspiration, he
will become thirsty
Fatty substances and ointments
placed on the skin will not be alb
sorbed by the skin, but if they are
rubbed hard enough they may be
forced to penetrate the skin and
get into the glands, from which
they may be taken up.
When fat is rubbed in, it does
not remain in the skin, but is taken
up by the blood and carried to other
parts of the body.

Floats in Mercury

rTNHE steel cross Is floated on
Il pool of mercury so that it can
be rotated easily in a horizontal
plane.
The two halves Of the beam unite
in telescope eyepiece, where they
form a little pattern of light and
dark circles known as an interfer-
ence pattern.
The interferometer now is ro-
tated, If the speed of Eight depends
upon its direction with reference to
the ether-drift, the speed of the
two halves of the beam along The
arms will change continuously with
the rotation of the cross.
This should make itself apparent
in a shifting back and forth of the
interference pattern, or 'fringes," as
they are called.
The experiment first was per-
formed in 1887. Nicholson and
Morley we're seeking for shift
which would be due to the rotation
of the earth around the sun. They
did not find it.
/ A suggestion was mace py Two
European scientists that the failure
of the apparatus to show the shift
was due to a contraction in the
arms Of the instrument with the
speed of the earth. This became
known as the Lorentz-Fitzgeraid
contraction, after the scientists who
suggested it.
Einstein developed this into his
special theory of relativity, first an
nounced in 1905, in which he set
down the postulate that all molten
is relative and that it never would
be possible to measure the absolute
motion of the earth through the
ether of space.
However, DR.. Miller, who has
been experimenting with the inter-
ferometer since 1906, insists that he
has proof in observations with the
instrument of an absolute motion OF
the whole solar system through the
ether of space.

A LMOST I was persuaded on
IN Tuesday night that Sweet
Adeline' might not be the best mu-
Sical show in town. I was watching
Jack Donahue in "Sons o. Guns" "
But went back to my old allegi-
ance because the new piece had a
scene in which band played and
troops marched off to war.
My objection is a great deal less
than fair. A musical comedy about
the war has a right to introduce a
band. There were such things.
Moreover, bands stir me great deal.
That's why I'm against them.
In fact, I would feel much more
sure of the abolition of war if only
the people at disarmament confer
enceS would suggest scrapplng
bands rather than battleships.
Many of the individuals who were
once held personally responsible tor
starting the last great conflict have
since been found not guilty. But l
would acquit no drum major or any
body who played the fife. It's only a
short step from a march to mass
murder.

MONROE DOCTRINE
December 2

0NE HUNDRED SIX years
" ago today, on Dec. 2, 1923, the
annual message of the President to
Congress set forth the Monroe
Doctrine.
The term, the Monroe Doctrine, Is
applied to the policy of the United
States regarding foreign interfer-
erce in American affairs. It proper
ly is considered the corollary Of the
Washington and Jefferson policy of
neutrality toward all European af-
fairs.
The policy is based upon two pas
sages in President Monroe's message
and has a two-fold relation-a non-
colonization and a noneintervention
feature.
In modern conception, it is the
policy of the United States to re-
gard any attempt on the part Of an
European power to gain a foothold
in this hemisphere by conquest, or
to acquire any new establishment in
North or South America, ay what
ever means, as an act hostile to the
United States.
