XETAVE mechanics came into
w their own at the hands Of a
German scientist named Schrod-
niger.
His first suggestion was that the
electron be done away with entirely.
Instead of conceiving of the atom
as a miniature solar system, he pic
tured it as a pulsating sphere of
electricity, a sort of electrical bal
loon.
He developed his theory mainly,
however, as mathematical one,
without any attempt to be descrip-
tive in any but the mathematical
sense. Hence, he merely designated
the pulsating element in the atom
by the Greek letter Psi.
Schrodinger's model Of the atom
possesses many excellent features,
but most experimenters felt that
there was too much evidence for
the existence of the electron to
throw it overheard.
Our notions about the election
are going through a period Of
change and it is extremely difficult
to express them briefly. But there
seems to be a general opinion that
the electron itself is composed Of
waves, or at least that it has some
sort of internal structure.
Some physicists are even begin
ming to speak Of sub-electrons. Ac-
cording to their way Of looking at
things, Schrodingers Psi is the sub
electron.
The diameter of the electron is
calculated to be about one twenty
f1ve-trillionth Of an inch.
Since Psi is a constituent Of the
electron, it must be smaller than
that. There is no general agree
inent yet as to its size.

What is this test of knowledge that would stump

six orations of Cicero" are Of the old entrance
exam subjects listed by DR.. Butler.
Instead, the hundred boys and girls who enter
college now-compared with the one rich boy who
got there half a century ago-are expected to know
something about current affairs, factual biography,
economics and the sciences.
College students of today may not always turn
out to be the snobs who marry the boss daughter,
as Professor Rogers would have them, but when it
comes to knowledge of facts and intellectual honesty
they at least have it their grandfathers, who had
a secondhand acquaintance with distorted history
and Greek syntax.

Tariff Is Puzzle

WHETHER the tariff should be
w made flexible or rigid is 6
problem in human nature rather
than arithmetic, the most important
point being who does the f1exing.
AS every one knows, the tariff rep
resents a comparatively small tax
for most people and a comparatively
large profit for a few.
The few not only have the motive
but the means to manipulate it, re-
CARELESS of how conscientious public
officials may be.
They study it continuously from
the particular angle in which II
serves them.
AS a general proposition, they may
be no better prepared to talk about
it than the average, but along spe-
cialized lines they are expert.
Beyond that they usually repre-
sent financial, if not political, power
and can mobilize an influence which
the public finds it hard to meet
much less to match.
e II
Unscientif1c as rigid tariff may
be, it has its advantages.
The fact that those advantages
are political, rather than economic
should not detract from their sub
stantial character.
With rigid tariff, the people car

least.
With a flexible tariff, which ought
to work as often in their interest
as it does the other way, they never
can be quite sure Of what vii.
happen.
Judging from experience, it is
more likely to happen the wrong
way.
At all events, flexibility as prac-
ticed during the last seven years
has resulted in far more increases
of the tariff than decreases, and has
not served to take the tariff out Of
politics.

More Than Murder

FOR the same reason that the
Il City Trust case was more than
a bank failure, the Rothstein case
may be more than another murder.
That is why New Workers are
willing to accept it as an issue in
the present campaign.
Rightly or not, they believe not
only that it could have been solved,
but that it would have been solved
if powerful interests had not stood
in the way.
Former Police Commissioner En-
right, now running for mayor on the
Square Deal' ticket, merely voices
popular suspicion when he claims
to know that certain prominent
persons borrowed money from the
slain gambler.
While we talk about reforming the
Calendar, Russia makes new one.
After next Sunday the Russian
year will contain seventy three
weeks Of five days each.
Workers will be allowed one day
for rest each week, but it will not
be the same day for all-one-ffth
laying off Monday, another fifth
Tuesday, another fifth Wednesday
and so on.
Such arrangement not only abol-
ishes Sunday, but the idea of a
universal rest day.
If one leaves out religion, the plan
seems sensible.
The question is, however, whether
religion can be left out.

THF electron theorv rec

THE electron theory received its
Il greatest development at the
hands of DR.. Neils Bohr, Danish
physicist, who had gotten his train
ing at Cambridge, England, under
the famous Sir Ernest Rutherford.
According to Bohr's theory. which
is based in no small part upon Ru-
therford's experiments, the atom
consists of a nucleus which is a
composite of positive and negative
electrons. Around this nucleus mega
tive electrons revolve, like planets
revolving around the sun.
The emission of light and heat
waves from heated objects was ex-
planned on the basis of the jumping
Of electrons from one orbit to an
other, the wave length of the emit
ted wave depending upon the size
of the jump.
But there we're a great many
things which the Bohr theory failed
to explain. For one thing, it did
not explain why the electrons could
revolve only in a certain limited
number of orbits of definite size.
De Broglie. a French physicist,
came forward with a suggestion to
explain some Of these difficulties.
His theory was that each electron
was accompanied by a train of
waves. The result of this would be
that the electron could revolve only
in an orbit which would be the
equivalent Of whole number of
waves.
This was The beginning of wave
mechanics" the chief storm center
Of present-day physics.

Oscar G. Olander, state commits
sioner of public safety in Michigan,
reports that auto driving bootleggers
have resorted to the dust screen
for protection.
They equip their cars with air
compressors, he says. pick dirt
roads and turn on the pressure.
They could bother pursuers just
as effectively by using their ex-
haust to create a smoke screen, but
that is contrary to law, and even
bootleggers respect some laws.
One could write a good sermon
on the sense of duty which their
preference for the "dust screen"
implies.
1t is real problem in ethics,
however, whether the use of dust
for illegal purposes is right. Even
though the silence of the law ap-
pears to sanction it.
Meanwhile the remedy is obvious
concrete roads.

THIS certainly is an age Of in

Think of the originality displayed
by the Merchants Association of
Belle PLANE, Ia, when it offered a
prize of 500 for the most flea bitten
dog in four counties, to attract trade
to the annual fall festival.
Forty-nine dogs were entered.
They included all breeds from a
poodle to hound. They were ex-
amined miscroscopically, and the
number of insects found on each
carefully tabulated.
The money went to a German
police dog on which the judges dis
covered no less than 113 fat f1eas.
Without rejecting on the uni1n-
peachable honor which should be an
attribute of the owner of a dog so
neglected, it still seems pertinent to
wonder whether the f1eas weren't
planted.
