Splitting Hydrogen.

Every time scientific society gets
together in annual convention some
thing wonderful may be expected in
the way Of announcement and demon
stration. For science is progressing in
research and discovery at a high pace
In these years, and 1t is a poor season
when half a dozen or so astonishing
revelations are not made at these meet
ings. The latest sensation is reported
from the meeting of the American
Chemical Society at Minneapolis. It is
called the greatest scientific discovery
of 1929" being an announcement that
DR.. K. F. Bohnhoeffer has split hydro
gen gas into two parts. Hydrogen be-
ing a supposedly indivisible element, the
conversion of it into gas with Diff
ferent effect is rated as a revolutionary
achievement. DR.. Hugh S. Taylor of
Princeton, chairman of the session, says
that it means that text books on physi-
cal chemistry will have to be rewritten.
The actual discovery consists, it
seems, of the conversion of ordinary
hydrogen gas into new form called
hydrogen, by passing it over char
coal chilled to the intense cold of liquid
air. Demonstration of its difference of
nature from the parent gas, If that may
be so called, was effected by pumping
1t over hot wire where 1t interfered
with the flow of heat through the wire,
this interference being indicated by a
spot of light cast upon the wall. When
the para hydrogen was then converted
back into ordinary hydrogen and passed
over the hot wire the spot Of light
changed its position, thus demonstrate
ing that the two gases are physically
different.
The discovery has no present COM
mercial value. 1t has, however, de-
cided scientific value, opening up limit
less fields of research, the possibilities
of which are incalculable. DR.. Bohn-
hoeffer's achievement may lead to
amazing changes in industrial chemistry
in the near future.

Foot Ball in Mexico.

President Gil of Mexico, who q few
days ago set up new fashion in polit-
ical aspirations when he proclaimed his
desire to retire at the end of his pres
ent provisional term, now proposes the
development of the game of foot ball
as substitute for revolution. Attend
ing spirited game between two Mexi-
can teams, he was impressed by the
possibility of the sport and is quoted
as speaking as follows:
Americans must encourage this sport
so they will not have revolutions. 1t
contains marvellous lessons for the Mex
lean youth, teaching valor, self-control
and cooperation.
President Gil then had conference
with the American coach of one of the
two teams and asked him to arrange a
game in November between his own
University of Mexico eleven and an
American college team. He hopes to
popularize foot ball in the republic.
Passing over the suggestion that foot
ball is encouraged in this country as a
counter -irritant or sedative or whatnot
to prevent revolutions, much may be
said in favor of the Mexican Presidents

Observers of events of rural interest
in Washington are impressed by the
variety of angles from which the
farmers problems are being attacked
by the present administration They
see the Federal Farm Board, heeled with
a half-billion dollars of credit for farm
marketing cooperative groups, blazing
a trail that they hope will lead farmers
out of the wilderness of disorderly
marketing. They foresee enactment OF
tariff bill carrying the highest duties
on farm products in American history
And they observe with satisfaction the
unusual spectacle of representatives of
81 national farm and industrial organi-
cations informally banding themselves
together in behalf of more adequate
funds for research in the Department
OF Agriculture. When this group
started two years ago to increase the
research fund of the department, a
goal of $10,00000O was set. To date
about half of this has been obtained.
This week, Col j. C.. Room. the new
director of the budget, was formally
requested to o. k. the balance of
$5,000,000.
There's to be another political party
in the U. S. A. Steps to form it have
just been taken under the leadership
OF Prof. John Dewey of Columbia Uni
verslty. Its purpose Is to oppose the
Republican and Democratic parties, and
1t will be called the League for In
dependent Political Action. The fol-
lowing officials have already been
elected: James Maurer, president OF
the Pennsylvania Federation of Labor
vice president: IONA Gale, author. of
Wisconsin, vice president; Paul H
Douglas, professor of industrial rela-
tons, University of Chicago, vice presi-
dent; w. E. B. Du Bots, Negro educa-
tor, OF New York, vice president Devere
Allen. editor of the World Tomorrow,
chairman of the executive committee
and Howard Y. Williams, clergyman,
executive secretary. The manifesto of
the proposed organization declares that
the only hope of Liberals in this coun-
try lies in slowly building up a new
party which will compare with the
British Labor party"

forth the cruiser tonnage totals re-
spectively demanded" by the United
States and Great Britain, it is a fact
that so far not single digit of these
tabulations has the stamp OF either
Washington or London authority. They
amount to nothing more nor less than
shrewd analyses of what the Hoover
"yardstick" of cruiser relatively prob
ably represents. But they are guesses,
pure and simple, for all that, 1t Is on
such a fiimsy foundation that the
prophets of gloom and doom are FORE
shadowing the breakdown of the pa
tient and palpably painstaking efforts
of the President and the premier.
The best technical brains and the
profoundest craftsmanship at the dis
posal of the two English-speaking
democracies are now being pooled in an
endeavor to evolve naval limitation
and reduction agreement. They are
functioring much as the boards of di-
rectors of couple of great corporations
operate in the molding of company pol
icy. The time comes when the directors
must report back to the stockholders.
The peoples of the United States and
the British Empire are the stockholders
here in question. They have every rea-
son to rest assured until their respective
and trusted leaders submit their direc-
torial findings. Those once on the
table. the hour for approval or rejection
will be at hand. Until then nothing
but harm, however unattended, is &C
complished by interpreting the reticence
of the high contracting parties as an
omen of impending failure.

average Mexican revolution. But that
condition has passed with the amend
ment of the rules and methods OF play.
1t Is now even less injurious than the
American celebration of independence
day used to be.
AS moral factor, foot ball cannot
be too highly extolled. 1t is certainly
a character builder or developer, pro-
vided it is properly played. under tie
right auspices. If Mexican youth can
get as much out of the game as the
American youth has derived, the estab-
lishment of this sport as a national
paStime south of the Rio Grande may
be the making of a new Mexico OF
progress and culture and peace.

German Democracy
Proved in Celebration

From the Atlanta Journal.
Who would have predicted a decade
ago that the German Republic would
survive such tests and shocks as it has
experienced? The prevalent opinion
then was that people so stepped in
monarchist traditions would revert to
the old order-not to Hohenzollern rule,
perhaps not to any form of absolutism,
but surely to a non-democratic govern
ment.
Yet, at the recent celebration of the
tenth anniversary of the Weimar con-
stitution, 10000 stanch sons and
daughters of the republic from every
region Of the Fatherland marched along
the Inter den Linden, the light in their
eyes telling of the loyalty in their
hearts. The storms which the new
regime has weathered have been of the
sort that try mems souls The onsets,
and. much more, the subtle strategy of
the monarchists; the generalization of
the currency; the French incursions In
the Ruhr; the internal differences
among the Liberals themselves-all
these the republic has withstood, while
the people have recovered with astonish-
ing vigor from the economic as well as
political effects Of the Great War. Such
q record ausurs most happily.

Mr.. MacDonald's Visit.

Against the possibility that develop
ments may make it feasible for him
to reach Washington during the first
week of october, Premier Macdonald
appears, like the sagacious Scotsman he
is, to have booked provisional steam
ship reservation for passage to America.
His principal private secretary, Sir Rob-
ert Vansittart, who was recently in
Washington, is reported to have Sc
cured accommodations designed to effect
Mr.. MacDonald's arrival in the United
States on october 4. Sir Robert is
supposed to have mapped out the prime
minister's various engagements while
on our hospitable soil, and presumably
to have taken such precautions as are
possible to prevent Mr.. Macdonald from
being killed by kindness.
The tentative character of the pre-
mier's plans shows them to be good. They
evidence his eagerness to come to grips
with the complicated Anglo-American
naval problem at close range. They have
a special value at this juncture, for
nothing could be better designed to
explode the theory, which is being ped
died with some persistency this week,
that the Macdonald negotia-
lions have reached an impasse tanta-
mount to a wreckage of them. Wishes
on occasions like these are frequently
the fathers to thoughts. They are what
might be called psychological propa-
ganda. The Senate naval affairs COM
mittee is about to deal with specific
species of 1t.

Mrs. Ruth Hanna Mccormick, Rep

been campaigning actively in Illinois
this Summer, while Senator Charles S
Deneen, to whose seat she aspires, has
been compelled to be on the job here
in Washington as a member OF the
Senate finance committee handling tha
tariff bill. Mrs. Mccormick has not
finally burned her bridges behind her
She may yet decide that it is better tc
be reelected to the House than e
seek to enter the Senate against such
a we'll intrenched leader as Senator
Deneen. The latter has a strong or
ganization in Cook County and down
State. Before long this organization
will be considerably augmented and
will begin to function with great activ-
ity. The Illinois primary comes early
in the election year-in April, to be
exact.
The Republicans in Kansas seem to
be well satisfied with the present adj
ministration and with the fact they
have Charles Curtis in the Vice Presi-

Clyde Reed, but up to the present no
opposition candidates for the nomina-
