IT. YER since I became a columnist
II 1 have been jealous of the
preachers. AS a boy it was not my
ambition to enter the ministry, for
at that time the job of being Grim
inal lawyer and cross-eXamining
people seemed the most glamorous
task which the world afforded.
After reading the short stories OF
Richard Harding Davis, I switched
and wanted to be a war cores
pondent.
Things did break fairly well ac-
cording to my wishes, for 1 got to be
a war correspondent, but good deal
less dashing than my idol.
If I had my choice now, it would
be the pulpit. In sense a column
is pulpit, but the congregation is
under no compulsion to remain
there is no choir to help out, and
no, collection. Also, doctors of di-
vinity are taken much more seri-
ously.
Still it seems to me that good
editorial page contains more hu-
manizing influence than the, average
sermon. Few of those which hear
on the radio or read in the daily
papers on Monday mornings stir me
profoundly. And SO I see no reason
why I should not occasionally take
chance and preach one myself.

Philosophy of Its Own
WYE like to believe that crime i,

WE like to believe that crime is
w a matter of personal perver-
sion; that those who practice it are
oStracized as soon as their secret be-
comes known; that it can not be
promoted like other human activi-
ties; that the establishment of a
partnership, much less syndicate,
means its undoing.
The idea that it has developed
philosophy for it's own justification
and that men can argue themselves
into the belief that it is not only
legitimate, but profitable, still is be-
yond our comprehension, notwith-
standing that every day produces
instances that should leave no doubt
on the point.
The naive trustfulness with which
we continue to treat crime as though
it were, the product of individual
weakness; as though it were not
catching, and as though the prob
lem of dealing with it hinged largely
on personal punishment, is aston
ishing.
y =
Crime not only has borrowed a
page from big business, but from
the Rotary Club and the press agent.
1t has developed propaganda as
we'll as a system, and boasts it's code
of honor and it's excuse for exist
ence.
A multiplicity of rules and regu-
lations, though intended to suppress
crime, has furnished it a philosophy
with which to gain recruits.
Men and women who never would
think of violating the majority of
laws find it possible to argue that
the breaking of some particular one
is justified, not only because it con-
f1icts with their personal desires, but
because it is contrary to what they
believe in general.
Prohibition furnishes a shining
example in point. Though it offers
no explanation of the milk racket,
the poultry racket, the arson racked,
the bankruptcy racket, the fence
racket, and dozen other rackets
in which crime depends on CO.
operative action.

SAYS:

7 IKE everything else, crime
IL succumbs to the craze for or
ganized action.
Your average thief no longer
works single handed; your average
embezzler no longer is a lone wolf,
and your average bootlegger no
longer is a self sufficient soul, who
peddles hooch of his own man
ufacture.
Eighty-one defendants are on
trial for running poultry racket
in New York; one hundred and
forty just have been indicted for
running an alleged milk racket, and
fourteen will be brought to book in
connection with the City Trust
failure, while dry agents have
rounded up a rum syndicate which
operated on a system that hardly
could have been improved by Judge
Gary or the Alexander Hamilton
institute.
Individualism still plays an all
important part, but it is the part of
leadership rather than personal ex-
ploits.
The law is running afoul of some
thing bigger than weaklings run
amuck.
Al Capone and Charley Berger
stand for a type.
p The gang has become the front
and shoulders of disorder.
The old-fashioned highwayman
has gone the way of the blacksmith
shop, and the underworld is pro-
ducing its Henry Fords.
Neither should we regard the set
up as surprising or illogical.
Bad men, as well as good, profit
by improvements. If gunpowder
helped the pioneers of liberty, it
also helped crooks, and the same
kind of dynamite that served to
clear He'll gate can be used to crack
safes.
Business men having decided that
experiences and organization are adj
vantageous, why should the criminal
ignore them?

Powder Good for Delicate Skins

der; on the contrary they are con-
vinced that the moderate use of
cosmetic powder helps delicate
skin by protecting it against wind
and sun.
The ordinary moderate use of
powder does not clog up the pores
sufficiently to interfere with per-
spiration, unless the powders are
mixed with creams and pastes to
make solid mixture.
It is not believed, however, that
any woman with common sense will
care to apply a mixture of that type
to her face.
Powder, combined with greasy ap-
plications, causes the collection of
dirt and powder in the opening of
the sweat glands and leads perhaps
to the dilation of the pores and the
formation OF blackheads.

vary according to the manufacturer

der is made. Powders used to cover
up defects or improve the appeS'-
ance of the skin, says DR.. Pussy,
have usually talcum, which is mag
nesium Silitalcum, which is magnes-
ium silicate, or French chalk or rice
powder as their base. Sometimes
zinc oxide, magnesium carbonate or
precipitated chalk is added.
Most powders do not contain
harmful ingredients. Occasionally
lead and bismuth salts are added to
powders.
Manufacturers have found that
these are unnecessary and add little
to the value of the powder for any
purpose.

do not urge the avoidance of pow

Persistence

TN 1923, DR.. Hale retired from the
Il active dictatorship of the Mt.
Wilson observatory and became
honorary director. He has continued
his researches. however, at a small
private observatory in Pasadena,
Cal.
1t was here that he developed the
spectrohelioscope. This device makes
use of the same principle employed
in the motion picture.
In the movie, a number of pic
lures are flashed on the screen in
each second. Due to what is known
as persistence of vision, the human
eye does not see a series of indi-
vidual still pictures, but blends them
into moving picture.
In the spectrohelioscope, the OBJ
server looks into an aperture be-
hind which a slit is moving back
and forth with a rapid oscillati11g
movement.
The moving slit shows. each por-
ton of solar prominence in turn.
But the human eye puts the series
together into complete picture.

MO doubt, the chief reason for
~ powder on the skin is protec-
ton against wind and weather and
the removal of the shiny appear
ance which somehow has been con-
ceived by women to be unfavorable
from the point of view of beauty.
DR.. William Allen Pussy says that
the powders have an added field of
usefulness in the relief of irritation
of the skin, in the absorption of
moisture and in their cooling effect.
A layer of powder over the skin
cools it by increasing largely the
surface over which perspiration is
spread out and from which 1t is
evaporated.

THE spectroheliograph furnishes
l. detailed photos of the suns sur
face, showing actual structure OF
sun spots and many other interest
ing features.
1t is impossible to see these things
when photographing the sun through
an ordinary telescope because the
bright glare of the suns li@ht
browns out" all details The spec-
troheliograph eliminates this glare.
1t is well known that when SUM-
light is passed through a prism it is
divided into a band of light or rain
bow, called the spectrum.
The spectroheligraph makes use
of prisms also, but a slit is placed
in front of them so that the light
entering comes only from a tiny
strip of the suns immage at one
time.
A second slit in front of the
Photographic plate makes it possible
to photograph only tiny section OF
the spectrum instead of all Of it.
Suitable mechanism causes these
two Sits to move. Now the light
from a tiny section of the spectrum
is light of single wave length. Con-
seQuently, the result of the motions
of the two Sits is to build up a
photograph Of the sun in a single
wave length of light.
Let us suppose that the wave
length of light chosen is one fur
nished by hydrogen. The resulting
photograph shows the distribution
of hydrogen in the suns outer lay
ers. Since the solar prominenceS
are chiefly hydrogen, such a photo
graph reveals the exact appearance
Of these great tongues of flame.
DR.. Hale's latest device is an ex-
tension of the spectroheliograph.
That is why he calls it the spectro-
helioscope.
Those words, while formidable in
appearance, are simple in meaning.
Spectre" comes from spectrum"
hello" from the Greek word for
sun" graph" from the Greek
word ito write" scope" from the
Greek word ito see."

JOHN BROWN CAPTURED
Oct. Is

OCI, 10
ON Oct. 10, 1859, John Brown and
" his followers, who had taken
possession of Harper'S Ferry, w. Va,
and the national arsenal of the con-
federate states, were captured by
General Robert E. Lee.
The raid on Harper's Ferry cul-
minated long and secret planning
by Brown, who was an abolitionist
of the extremely radical type. The
raid took place Oct. Is, when, after
having, as blind, taken farm
near his objective point, Brown led
a band of fewer than a score of fol-
lowers into the town and seized the
national arsenal, thus giving what
he supposed would be the signal for
a general instruction of the slaves.
The audacious act, however, re-
suited only in calamity for the par
Elephants and so embittered the
south as to make peaceful settle
ment of the slavery question still
more remote probability.
Troops of the regular army under
Lee soon regained the arsenal.
Brown was tried and convicted Of
treason, conspiring and advising
with slaves and others to rebel and
of murder in the first degree. He
was sentenced to death and was ex-
ecuted in Charles Town, W. Va,
Dec. 2, 1859.

frain:

Law Behind the Times

TINE anti-social mind has de-
l. veloped along with the social
mind. Employing the same wea-
pons, adopting the same methods,
and availing itself of the same ia
cilities.
1t is time that we recognized this
aspect of the problem, instead of
assuming that the village constable
is as capable of dealing with auto
bandits as he used to be in deal
ing with those who vent on foot.
Apart from the improvement in
local police forces, we are trying to
handle crime about the same way
we did when oxcarts and wheel
barrows We're in style.
Criminal classes have learned how
to cooperate for their own pro-
lection on nation wide basis. but
the law enforcement machinery has
remained the unsvstematic, discon-
nected hodge- podge it was in George
Washington's time.
It q
We even have extra dition laws, by
which a criminal caught in a stete
other than the one in which he
committed his crime, can not be
brought to book unless the Governor
of the former is willinq, and it has
happened on many OCCASIONS that
for one reason or another the Gov
ernor was not willing. and. there
fore. that a hich official, under oath
To uphold the law, actually has
blocked its enforcement.

SCIENCE
The Spectroheliogrdpb Fur
niShes Detailed Photos "
the Suns Surface, a Great
Aid to Science.
Rv DAVID DIETZ.

NREAT flaming tongues Of red
" hot gases rise from the seeth-
ing surface of the sun, sometimes to
a height of 10000 mileS-ten times
the earth's diameter. Frequently a
great cloud of these flaming gases
breaks away from the sun and dis
appears into space.
Within recent years it has been
possible to photograph these phe-
nomena and by taking a series OF
photographs close together to gain
an idea of their progress.
Now for the first time in the
worlds history, it is possible 10
watch them by direct vision and sc-
tually see the changes as they occur
from one second to the next.
The inventive genius Of DR..
George Elery Hale, which paved the
way for our modern knowledge OF
the sun, has achieved this latest tri-
umph. After three years Of work.
his latest device, which he has
named the spectrohelioscope, is
nearing perfection.
A quarter century ago, the
Carnegie institution of Washington
decided to build its great obse.va-
tory on the top of Mt. Wilson and
called upon DR.. Hale to direct the
work.
There he designed and built the
two great tower telescopes for the
study of the sun. one seventy-five
feet high and the other $50. He
also designed an attachment for
them which he named the Spectro-
Telegraph.
1t was this device which made
possible the photographs of the
solar .prominences, as the great
tongues of flame are called.

Are there any snakes in Ireland?


The biological survey says that
there are no snakes native in Ire
land and never have been, so far as
authentic records show. This is
due to its isolation from the region
in which snakes originated, and
which they now occupy. A few at
tempts have been made to intro
duce harmless species into Ireland
but as far as the records show, none
have heen established there. This
nay be due to lack of proper en-
vironment, climate; to disease or
other abnormal conditions. The
slow-wcrn, or lag-worrn, a iecless
lizard. which superfciallv looks very
much Ike snake, is native in Ire
land. and NAV account for Some OF
the snake stories Of that country.
