The raid followed series Of

Orthopedic Surgeon Repairs Bones

the muscles or the nerves that con-
troll movement.
In the care of such injuries, the
orthopedic surgeon is no longer de-
pendent wholly on the use of clamps,
braces and plaster casts, although
these still represent a considerable
part of his apparatus.
Today the orthopedic surgeon
realizes the value of such physical
measures as the swimming pool, the
hot and cold bath, massage, special
exercises, electric stimulation, and
particularly education of the patient
in proper movement of the muscles.
What formerly was largely a
mechanical art has now become
one of the most intricate special
ties demanding all OF the resources
of the human brain for the dag
nosis of the difficulty and all of the
powers of the human brain for the
proper administration of various
methods of treatment.

speciality.
The growth of tremendous hos
pitals for the crippled and the social
reforms that have been carried on In
the United States during the last
ten years somewhat have lesSened
the problem of the crippled child.
The control of immigration, bet
ter prenatal and maternity care,
improved hygienic conditions, the
feeding of proper diets, the use of
sunlight and vitamin D to control
ricketts,, and the general advance in
the care of tuberculosis have all
been important III lessening the
number of cases of crippled children.
Today the major problem for the
orthopedic surgeon is the grown-up
person who has become crippled by
an injury in industry or by the after
effects of various infectious diseases
which attack particularly the bones,

Just Another Obstacle

CLASS rule is class rule, whether
~ exercised by an aristocracy or
the mob, and class hatred goes
with it.
Communism justifies class rule on
the ground of class consciousness.
We Americans do not deny the
existence of class consciousness, but
we do deny that it should be &C
copied as the basis of society and
government.
In this country, class conscious
ness is recognized as just one more
obstacle to be overcome.
Humanity has suffered from moth
ing so distinctly as an overdose OF
class consciousness.
Notwithstanding all we have done
and all we hope to do, there still
is too much of it, right here In
America-too much strut on the one
hand, and too much Of an inferi-
ority complex on the other.
But we are hoping and trying in
the right direction, which should

TINE future course of N. Y. U.
Il upon the gridiron will be a
matter of singularly small impor-
lance, since Chick Meehan has re-
vealed himself as the gutless coach
of gutless college.
Meehan has announced that he
will not play his best quarter back,
Dave Myers, in the forthcoming
game against the University Of
Georgia because Myers is Negro.
"We simply are extending the
University of Georgia the usual
courtesy in following tradition in
this matter" explained Chick Nee
han.
But Meehan is betraying a we'll
established tradition and the Uni
versity of Georgia has set the &C
cepted rules of courtesy on end.
Many Negroes have played with
great success on football teams
hereabouts.
The names of Paul Robson and
Fritz Pollard come first into my
mind. Moreover, the current track
captain at N. Y. U. is Phil Edwards,
a Negro. Obviously N. Y. U. has no
existing tradition which would bar
Negroes from athletic competition.

Rutgers Robson

THIS is not the first time the is
Il sue has arisen. When Paul
Rcbeson was at Rutgers, that college
had a game scheduled with the Uni
versity of West Virginia. Shortly
before the date of the contest West
Virginia intimated that it would
like to have Robson dropped from
the lineup.
Since he was the finest player in
the squad, the suggestion did not
appeal to Rutgers at all. Rutgers
did not cringe or crawl as N. 7. U.
has done. "Play us with Robson
or not at ALL" was the answer.
If N. Y. U. had been courageous
enough to take similar attitude 1
have no doubt that the team from
Georgia would have had ample good
craftsmanship to go through with
it's engagements. West Virginia did.

it no longer is afraid OF foreign republicans.
But that is not ALL High officials Of the depart

Gent gospel of civil liberties dear to the hearts OF
our founding fathers and abhorent in recent years
to the state department. Listen to this:
"Freedom of thought and speech-not only for
those we love- but as one of our beloved dissenting
Judges has said, for those We hate-freedom of
thought and speech have taken on new Importance
and need a new vitality in this modern world where

extreme opinion but often is suppressed deliberately.

And that from the undersecretary OF state, MI

We are reminded of this by two press dispatches.

mental idea is rather simple. But
carrying out the investigation is far
from simple matter.
Many technical complications rem
der it highly complex. The analysis
of each rock sample must be carried
on with the maximum of accuracy.
Every known precaution must be
taken to exclude impurities.
The amount of radioactive ma

of rock is extremely minute. Only
the most delicate and sensitive APP
paratus will detect it's presence. To
measure its exact amount requires

there is about one-trillionth Of an
ounce of radioactive material.
There are many sorts Of complica-

SCIENCE
Rddium, Scientists Hope, WI
Reveal to Them the Secret
of the Edrth'S Age.
By DAVID DIETZ-

ID ALBUM, that mysterious sub
IN stance which first gave scien-
lists a clew to the innermoSt struc-
ture of the atoms of matter, is ex-
pected to furnish the answer to an
other mystery.
Radlum, it is expected, will tell
the secret Of the earth's age.
A study is under way at the geo.
physical laboratory of the Carnegie
Institution of Washington to deter
mine the age of the earth by the
study of the radioactive content of
rocks.
Scientists today say that the
earth is about 3,O00,0oO,OO0 years old.
The figure, however, is only a fair
approximation.
The history of the earth is divid-
ed by biologists into eras, each of
which has a long name-the paleo-
zoic era, the mesozoic era, and so
on. BY studying the layers of rock.
biologists have determined with
considerable accuracy the relative
lengths of these eras as compared
with another.
But they are not so sure Of the
exact length of these various eras in
years. They are willing to admit
that their figures may be too large
or too small
1t is hoped. however, that the
radium investigation at the geo.
physical laboratory will settle the
! question.
The investigation has now been
under way for several years under
the direction of Doctors G. N. Fen
ner and C. S. Piggot of the labora-
tory staff.
The investigation is beginning to
yield excellent results, though it will
take many more years of tireless
and painstaking research to COM
plete it.

Ages

ID ALBUM lends itself to this type
IN of investigation because the
atoms of radium continuously are
disintegrating or going to pieces.
Radium itself is the result of the
disintegration of still heavier ma
terials, uranium and thorium.
These substances by disintegra-
lions, turn into radium. Radium, by
similar disintegrations, eventually
turns itself into lead.
The rate at which the disintegra-
ton of uranium goes on is quite we'll
known, though less is known about
the rate of thorium.
eff a rock contains both uranium
and lead, it is fair to assume that
the lead in the rock was originally
in the form of uranium" DR.. Piggot
says.
THAT is, the rock originally con-
tanned uranium, part Of which has
in time turned into lead.
From mathematical formulas, we
can calculate from the amount of
uranium and lead present how much
uranium must have been in the rock
originally.
Since the rate at which uranium
disintegrates is known, we can cal
culate the age OF the rock from the
amount Of lead now present in it
and the amount Of uranium origi-
nally present.
ut is evident that the older the
rock is, the greater amount of lead
which will be present in proportion
to the original amount of uranium
since more uranium will have had
time to turn into lead"
BY studying various types Of
rocks, the Investigators hope to fix
the age of various geological struc-
lures and thus the length of various
areas in the earth's history.
