A Illuminating Picture

To what depths self-government has been
sunk in this city may be partially under
stood by the manner in which Republican
ticket is being chosen.
That men of high standing, lifelong
regulations for integrity, honor and decency
are compelled to deal and haggle with Boss
Coffin is as humiliating to the city at large as
it must be to these gentlemen personally.
The political boss knows but two words.
They are power and money. 1t may be pre-
sumed that when the discussion Of candi-
dates is conducted, the boss will have one
of these objects in mind whatever conces-
sions he, in his desperation, is forced to make
to decency and responsibility.
All Of the evils that attracted attention
of grand juries, and aroused the people to
the point of revolt, came through Coffinism.
The people remember, as these men must,
that Coffin has never picked men with ideals
of public service, but those who could be
counted upon to deliver the powers of their
office to the service of the machine which
he created.
The people remember that it was Coffin
who at every step of the way threw his power
against their desire to escape bondage
through the city manager law and that he is
responsible for the present plight and help
Iessness of the people to rule themselves.
1t is true that he is so discredited in the
public mind that he now is ready to make
concessions in order to retain some foothold
from which he may again climb back to days
of autocracy.
He understands most thoroughly that to
nominate the kind of ticket which he prefers
would invite sure disaster and defeat.
Conferences with Coffin mean, on his side,
the least concessions to decency that can be
made and be assured of support of respectable
forces. 1t remains to be seen what sort of
bargainers are those who now ask him for
nominations.
For the certain fact remains that Coffin
is yet car and that the so-called convention
of committeeman is but ratification meet
ing for whatever bargains he may make in
advance.
1t is tragic but such is the situation. The
city manager system offered a certain escape.
The people know what CoffiniSm means. They
know what it means in the county and in
the state as we'll as the city.
Perhaps the people may decide that the
one sure way to rid itself of Coffinism is
not to wait until the sun goes down to see
its tail cease to wiggle but to scotch it open
" and in full midday.

FAMOUS HISTORIAN BORN


Oct. 3.
TO-DAY is the 129th anniversary
L of the birth of George Bancroft,
famous American historian.
Bancroft was born at Worcester,
Mass, Oct. 3, 1900, the son of Rev.
Aaron Bancroft, Unitarian clergy
man.
He entered Harvard college at Is
and upon graduation went to Got
tingen, where he took the Ph. D. in
history.
His great work was THE His
tory of the United States" Of which
the first volume appeared in 1884
and the tenth forty years later.
Bancroft was appointed secretary
of the navy by President Polk and
his management was marked by the
establishment of the naval academy
at Annapolis, which was devised and
organized on his sole initiative by an
ingenious straining Of executive au-
thority.
He was minister to Prussia in
1867, to the North German Confed-
Grafton in 1868 and to the new Ger
man empire in 1871.
Among the more important Of his
may miscellaneous publications were
History of the Colonizations of the
United States" 1.-The Necessity, the
Reality, and the Promise of the
Progress of the Human Race,
Memorial Address on Abraham
Lincoln" "A Plea for the Constitu-
ton of the United States and Mar
tin Van Buren,"
Bancroft died in Washington, D.
c., on Jan. II, 1891.

the Negro 1t might be well to re-
vive an ancient anecdote which has
been supplied by no less than five
kind clients. The yarn dates back
to a day when Bishop Stires was
the rector of st. Thomas.
According to the myth, a Negro
came to the clergyman and an
nounced that he wished to become
a member of the congregation. DR..
Stires greeted him kindly, but sug-
gested that possibly he would be
happier while worshiping among
his own people.
The applicant was not to be dis
suaded. He said that he was GER
tain that st. Thomas was the church
which he wanted to join. AS final
resort DR.. Stires advised him to go
home and pray for guidance in his
decision.
A week later the Negro called
again and said, You we're right.
I've decided not to join st. Thomas.

Questions and
AnSzUerS

Where was the land of Moab?
Moab lay to the east of the Dead
Sea and the southermoSt part Of
the Jordan river. 1t is mentioned
frequently in the Old Testament.
Do 'haIf-staff' and "haif cast
mean the same when used in con-
nection with a flag?
Yes.
Does a zebra more nearly resemble
a horse or an ass?
Zebras are horSelike animals, but
in having callosites on the fore limbs
only and in the characters of the
tail, ears and hoof, they approach
the ass more nearly than the true
horse.
How many Roman Catholics and
how many Methodists are there in
ireland?
According to the 1926 religious
census of Northern Ireland there
were 420.428 Roman Catholics and
Is, 554 MethodistS. The last religious
census of the Irish Free State was
taken in 1911. There we're at that
time 2.812, 500 Roman Catholics and

CarboIoy

A T this point, metallurgistS at
IA the General Electric laborato-
ries began a study of Schroeter's
alloy, which had been named "hart-
metal"
Three years work resulted in the
development of still harder alloy
which has been named carboloy.
Carboloy will cut threads on glass
rods. 1t will cut hardened armor
plate and touch steels which pre-
viously had been regarded as "un-
IMAGINABLE"
The toughness of carboloy raised
a second problem at the General
Electric laboratories.
To make cutting tool out of
carboloy, it is necessary to put a
cutting edge on it. That meant the
discovery of a method to machine
carboloy, the alloy which had been
designed to machine the unma-
chinable.
A method finally was worked out
by which carboloy could be ma
chined very slowly by special pro-
cess using silicon carbide or boron
carbide to do the machining.
Carboloy not only will machine
very hard alloys, but 1t will machine
softer ones at more rapid rate
than they could formerly be worked.
In test, DR.. Hoyt reports, high
speed steel tool had its edge burned
off against a bar Of nickel steel in
sixteen seconds. A carboloy tool
worked successfully under identical
conditions for one hour, at the end
of which the test was stopped.
Because of the high price Of car
boloy, it is used only for the cutting
edge of the tool. The tool itself is
made of steel and the carboloy end
is then welded to it.

TungSten

COFT tungsten metal, drawn into
~ a fine wire, is used for the
hlamentS of electric light bulbs.
But tungsten combined with carbon
forms the hardest known metallic
substance.
Tungsten carbide, as the COM
pound or alloy is called, first was
made in 1896 by the French metal
lurgist, Moisson.
MoiSson found that by putting
tungsten oxide and carbon in an
electric furnace, the carbon could
be made to replace the oxygen in
the tungsten compound.
Tungsten carbide is almost as
hard as the diamond. But it can
not be used for a cutting tool as
the diamond can be used.
The reason is that tungsten car
bide. despite its hardness, is por"
GUS and unable to withstand the
high pressure which is placed upon
a machine tool.
Other metallurgiStS attacked tne
problem-practically every scien"
tif1c advance is the story of long
line of workers, each contributing
his share to the general advance.
Schroeder, making the next big
advance, worked out a method of
adding cobalt to tungsten carbide.
The result was a very dense alloy,
heavier than steel, but with no sac
rif1ce of hardness.
This alloy, which resembles steel
in color, takes a good cutting edge
and keeps it at fairly high tenn
peratureS.
Tools have been observed cutting
nickel steel with their points at
bright red heat.

Il Nash expresses.
From time immemorial, certain
school of philosophy has preached
that people needed not only to work,
but to fight for their salvation.
Suffering has been glorif1ed, by
both religion and patriotism.
AS an Italian laborer once put it,
'It's a good thing to kill some of
the peep"
A more modern viewpoint is that
life will include suffering enough
even if we have done our best to
eliminate it.
With that end in view, we have
fought against disease, have devised
anesthetics to prevent pain, and now
are considering the possibility of
reducing war.

tary for foreign affairs, says that

MYTH seventeen wires tapped
W and a listening post eStab-
lished in New York's city hall dur
ing the last two weeks, systematic
evesdropping is to be inferred.
Thus far the eavesdropper has not
been heard from.
Excitement incident to the dis
covery of his operations, however,
warrants the hope that he may
have something interesting to offer
when he reports.
In this connection it seems curious
that some of those growing out OF
the present municipal campaign
should not be included among the
unnecessary noises in New York.
IN spite of the Rothstein case.
Il charges of tax favoritism and
more than the usual amount Of
wisecracking, Health Commissioner
Wynne says that, as measured by
complaints filed, radio ranks first in
the production of unnecessary noise,
garbage and trash cans second, milk
wagons third and factories fourth,
while dogs and automobiles tie for
fifth.
He has appointed committee OF
ten experts to see what can be done
about it.
The committee consists of two
acoustical engineers, two autologistS,
two neurologists, two practical
builders and two attorneys.
The autologists will suggest how
to eliminate unnecessary noise, the
engineers will work out the techni-
cal problem, and the attorneys will
draft the proper measures. That
leaves out the neurologists and
practical builders, unless the for
mer are to determine how much the
taxpayers can stand and the latter
how to get it.

soundproof apartments - at in
creased cost, of course-might help.

SkySCraperS Rise

MEANWHILE, building plans
I'VE suggest that the good old
riyeter will be heard in many Sec
tons of the greater city.
The sixty eigft-story Chrysler
building is well under way. Foun-
dations have been begun for the
seventy story City Bank and
Farmers Trust building, and ground
/ has been broken for the eighty-story
Empire State building, not to men
ton half dozen or so fifty-story
buildings which have become too
small and too numerous to mention.
Whatever else may be thought Of
such ventures in construction, they
suggest that New York politicians
would do well to think more about
the transportation problem and less
about some other things.
Inadequate transportation, with
all the resultant discomfort and
congestion. as well as unnecessary
noise, may serve a good purpose, If,
as DR.. ]. B. Nash of New York uni
versity thinks, most people are I'M
fit for leisure.
EVERY indication at the present
time" he says. "is that the man
with more leisure will turn out to be
spectator, a watcher of somebody
else doing something, merely be-
cause that is the easiest thing"
"Spectatoritis has become almost
synonymous with Americanism," he
declares. I'VE are in the gladiator
ial stage of Rome, with few partici-
pants and many seats for specta-
tors. Mans survival depends upon
his participation in vigorous acti-
vities which keep alert the duo
organism of body and mind"
If they keep on building sky
scrapers, and neglecting to provide
subways, the people of New York
will have little to fear in that
direction.
