Ut has been pointed out by several
Il that Our national prohibition law
has swept away in few years hu-
man liberties which were won only
after centuries of struggle. Com
placent courts have allowed the Bill
of Rights to be whitfield away from
under our feet.
Not only here, but in all parts of
the world, men fought and died to
establish fundamental principles of
democracy which We have cast aside
lightly. We have betrayed the noble
army Of heroes and martyrs to sat-
isfy the whim of the w. G. T. u. and
to appease the Anti-Saloon Leagues
lust for power.
And yet it seems to me that Sen
ator Smith Wildman Brookhart of
Iowa deserves to win the baton
among all the leaders Of the great
retreat. He has broken between his
thumb and forefinger tradition fax
more ancient than the American
Constitution.
Indeed, very shortly after the first
great lizard crawled up from the
primordial slime and took the first
step in the evolutionary process it
was agreed that the relationship be-
tween guest and host should be a
special one and sanctifled.

The Parity Illusion

Parity" is the catch phrase which has become the
popular leadoff with our admiras and other defend
ers of the old order in international relations.
Once upon time it the avowed aim Of the
military party to secure preponderance Of strength in
army and navy as compared with any potential enemy
or group of enemies The growth Of sanity in inter-
national perspective since 1918 has made this appeal
unpalatable to the majority of men,
The tradtionalsts have fallen back upon the parity
slogan This appears much more innocent on first
sight and suggests purely defensive outlook.
AS an actual matter of fact, however parity" can
be made Subterfuge just menacng to peace as the
ponderance of power program. AS Professor Parker
T. Moon of Columbia university points out:
Exact parity is out of the question. Even If there
were to be ship for ship, ton for ton for gun
and there will not be-there still would be inequality
as regards naval bases defensive tactics marksman-
ship and visibility
Moreover, the insistence upon parity as the point
of departure in all discussion Of disarmament and
world peace would be disastrous to practical progress
It would menace the prospect for favorable outcome
OF the approaching London conference:
Technical wraaglng over details of parity, if in
dulged in might Illustrate the conference and would
be beside the point Once it is realized that unless we
have a navy than equal in strength to any
nossible combination we can not have any security
through arms alone. we approach the conference
in spirit Of give-andtake confident that our safety
depends less upon keeping two or three more treaty
cruisers than upon the general international stua-
ton"
Nobody who expects scrap really is going to be
satisfied with formal equality of power. There in
evaby will be secret efforts to create real superiority
In one way another.
This will beget an atmosphere of nervousness and
SUSPICION destructive of any real good-faith in in
ternatonaI dealings. Resolute determination to end
war as method Of handling international disputes,
not parity in the means of waging war is the sure
road to peace.
The great alliance in Europe prior to 1914 sought
balance Of power and parity in ultimate strength
The result was July 1914. There we're tons OF
parity but not an ounce of international confidence.

HEALTH
>Occupational Therapy Helps Nerves

In a recent address before the
American Occupational Therapy
Association, Dr. Goodwin w. How
land emphasized particularly the
importance of selecting occupational
treatment in nervous diseases.
The occupational treatment de-
mands an intimate knowledge OF
psychology as well as of medicine,
because it is necessary to develop
occupations which will be suited to
the character of the person con-
cerned as we'll as to the nature and
extent of his injury.
The teachers Of occupationsl
therapy have in their power to re-
store many of the handicapped to
useful existence and to give them a
new interest in life when they seem
for all other reasons, to be practi-
cally through.

Farmer Is Deceived

MOT only the farmers, but those
~ dependent on farmer vote, are
worried, and who can blame them?
Though with the usual ambiguity
Of politics, the farmers supposed
that they were promised something
definite.
They may have taken too much
for granted in supposing such a
thing, but that water has gone by
the mill.
The farmers believed that they
were going to get some measure OF
relief, not only through board and
revolving fund, but through certain
tariff adjustments, and what they
believed is of more consequence than
what slick politicians may have in
tended.
AS a result of the Kansas City
convention and Mr.. Hoover's nom
nation, it generally was understood
that special session of congress
would be called to adopt specific
farm relief laws and make such re-
vision of the tariff as was needed to
do justice by agriculture.
1t seems, however, that the old
guard did not understand it that
way at all, but took the Republican
victory to mean permission to forget
what had been promised and go
back to its time honored habit of
protecting big business at all costs. ~

1t is rather we'll established that
injury to nerve tissue is not easily
overcome. This is the most highly
organized tissue of the body and it
tends to recover only with the great

is usually re-education of the weak

other tissues to take over the work
of those that are injured.
In NIch re-education, massage,
the application of heat and cleo
tricity, corrective gymnastics and
occupational treatment hold the
leading places.

Sentiment Changes

UNTIL fifty or seventy-flve years
~ ago, the English channel was
regarded AS a. blessing because it
kept nations apart.
Now it is regarded as a handicap,
Ger precisely the same reason.
Nothing in the world offers a
more vivid Illustration of how pub
lie sentiment is changing.
Twentieth century civilization is
more interested In removing bar
riers of trade than in maintaining
bulwarks of defense,
Tunneling, bridging or darnrning
the English channel still sounds like
a big undertaking. but even ordi-
nary folks accept 1t as practicable.
That is what free education has
done for us poor mortals within a
century or SO.
Humanity is learning to have
faith in itself.
Men no longer are content to re-
gard their troubles as of super
natural origin, or look to miracles
for relief.

Main Line

UT also became evident that the
J. universe was of an age which re-
1uired the postulation of some tre-
mendous source for the energy OF
the stars.
Astronomers generally have &C
cepted the suggestion Of Professor
j. H. Jeans that the complete ami
hilation of matter was going on In
the interior of stars, the star losing
mass as it generated energy.
It was discovered that the red
giants were radiating energy at far
greater rates than other stars. This
meant. therefore, that the young
stars we're living the fastest and
radiating away their mass the
quickest.
At present, astronomers think the
situation is something like this:
There is a main line" or stellar
development which ranges from the
Whit sta~s to the red dWarfs. There
are two "1r~nch lines one ranging
from the red giants to the WIN e
stars, the other from the red dwarts
to the white dWarfs.
Apparently a star starts in life as
a red giant and radiates away mass
with great rapidity, settling with
considerable rapidity somewhere on
the main line. Just where it will
hit into the main line seems to de-
pend upon how big giant it was
to start with.
Once on the main line, 1t Is
thought development proceeds at a
slow rate Just how the develop
ment from red dwarf to white
dwarf takes place is not certain.
Professor Russell thinks that the
interior Of a star may contain two
types Of materials. For want of a
better name he calls them giant
stuff" and dwarf stuff"
He thinks the early rapid devel-
opment is due to the explosion of
the giant stuff, the later slow devel-
opment to the slower humiliation
Of the dwarf stuff.

OWarfS

A CCORDING to this theory a
N star began its life as a red
giant. Slow contraction, due to the
gravitational pull of the star upon
its own outer layers, caused a rise
in temperature. The star became
hotter as a result of the contraction
and turned orange in color.
In the same way it became yellow
and then white. But at this point
it was thought a turning point
came. The interior Of the star be-
gan to liQuify. Further contraction
no longer raised the temperature
and so the star began to cool off.
II became, by turns, yellow, orange
and finally red. But now it was
a red dwarf.
This theory met with vast popu-
larity. But within the last few years
additional data has been accumu-
lated which makes it necessary to
modify it once more.
These notifications are due very
largely to the work Of Professor A.
S. Eddington, famous astronomer OF
the University of Cambridge, Eng
land, and research associate of the
Mt. Wilson observatory OF Cali
fornia.
From the work of Eddington and
others, it is apparent that even the
red dwarf stars are composed en-
tirely of perfect gases. Hence the
explanation of turning point In
the giant-dwarf theory will not hold
good.
In addition, it was been shown
recently that there are white dwarfs,
very small stars, far smaller than
the red dwarfs. Astronomers esti-
mate that they are so compact that
cubic inch of their stuff would
weigh ton. The giant-dwarf
theory does not provide any place
for them.

Different Theories About
Stars Are Modified as Re-
search Rereals Mistakes.
By DAVID DIETZ-

CTARS resemble human beings, IN
y that young stars lead faster
lives than old stars. This Is one OF
the significant discoveries of modern
astronomy and it is giving astron-
omers considerable difficulty IN
working out a theory to account Tor
the life history of star.
The earliest theory of stellar de-
velopment was exceedingly simple.
Astronomers many years ago had
noticed that there are stars which
we're white in color, yellow in color,
orange and red.
1t was assumed, therefore that
star began its life as white-hot. In
time. it began to cool off. 1t be-
came, by terms, yellow, orange and
then red.
This would mean, therefore, that
white star was young, While a
red star was very old,
But further study showed that
this first assumption to the life his
tory of a star was altogether TOO
simple. AS astronomers accumu"
lated more faCJ about the universe,
they found that it simply did not fit
the facts.
1t was discovered that both the
very largest and the very smallest
stars we're red in color. Orang stars
were found just little smaller than
the big red ones and just a little
larger than the small red ones. Vel
low stars fitted in next in both series
and white came at the center.
This led to the development OF
the giant dwarf theory of stellar de-
velop1nent, which was formulated
by DR.. Henry Norris Russell,
professor of astronomy at Princeton
university.
