A New Constitution

Fully as important as the election of any
state official, even supreme court judges who
become very largely the rulers of the people,
is the question of new Constitution for
Indiana.
The people will have the chance to vote
on that question this fall. 1t would be de-
plorable if consideration of this matter was
permitted to be overshadowed by discussion
of candidates.
Industrial workers and farm organiza-
tions. are joined in the belief that the pres
ent Constitution, as it has been Interpreted
does not meet the requirements of new So
ciaI era.
1t was written before electricity or auto
mobiles. 1t was designed for social order
that was simple as compared to present-day
complexities.
One of the conditions against which wide
protest is made is inequality in taxation.
Changes are apparently barred by the Con-
stitution.
The taxation question is the least i'm
portant. The truth is that the supreme
court in the seventy five years the Constitu-
tion has been in effect, has so Interpreted 1t
as to give courts power that were never in
tended for them and should never be given
to them.
The decision that truth is no defense
against charge of contempt drags into the
open the fact that the courts have assumed
powers to punish for indirect contempt that
were never given them, are unnecessary and
only used to tyrannize, never to protect the
dignity of the court nor to advance the cause
Of justice.
When that decision is joined by the re-
cent one that no judge can be impeached by
the legislature, no matter how grave his
abuse of power, as long as that judge re-.
mains unconvicted of felony the extent of
judicial invasion appalls.
Every voter who still has faith IN the
power of the people to rule themselves
should vote for new Constitution. One is
needed.
The suggestion that it would be drawn
by politicians, followed logically to the end,
means that the people are no longer capable
of self-government.

High Seas

A S far as sailors go, one has but
N to mention Conrad and Nc
Fee. The reader can think up
scores of others on his own &C
count.
And when I speak of naturalists
the first name in my. mind is thaV
Of Hudson, who achieved practically
the most sensitive prose ear known
in our times
Among the leaders of the cat
school I might mention the brilliant
and brittle Carl Van Vechten.
It is easy to see how a sailor
might become addicted to litera-
ture. He has that great boon OF
idle time. Moreover, the infinite
is right at his elbow. One does not
and should not expect light "trip
peries from any man who has been
tossed in tempests.
You do not go straight to your
cabin to write Dolly Dialogues after
watching a wide sweep of stars
aligned in patterns around the
Southern Cross.
And so we find that our mariner
authors are for the most part sober
fellows. Conrad had dash OF wit,
but it was grim, and McFee is not
greately concerned with lighter in
terludeS.
There is, of course, w. w. Jacobs,
who wrote many larky tales of ships
and sailormen. His knowledge OF
the background was so exact that
he must have had first-hand expe-
rience in the craft. But doubt II
he was ever a deep sea sailor. His

ANANY other branches Of chem
lVA istry are profiting by the use
Of high pressures and high tempera-
tures..
by means Of high pressures and
high temperatures, materials which
formerly would not react to chem
ical treatment, become tractable,
Professor Krase says.
High pressures assist chemical
reactions primarily by driving to-
gether the substances involved. I'm
der extreme compression, gases be-
come as dense as liquids, and even
the molecules which compose gases,
and the atoms which in turn form
the molecules, are forced together.
We now are arriving at problems
of equipment, for special metals and
alloys are required to Withstand the
stress of the new processes. Chro-
MUM nickel steels and some sim
liar products are found best suited
to present needs"
Representatives of federal bu-
reaus, Yale university, Massacllu-
setts Institute of Technology, Uni
versity of Illinois, University OF
Wisconsin and ether institutions will
take part in the joint symposium on
high pressures, scheduled for Sept. 9.
The meeting Is expected to at
tract 1000 scientists, industriallstS
and educators to Cincinnati.
Hundreds of papers covering all
fields of chemistry will be pre-
sented before the sevearl divisions
of the society, of which Professor
william Mcpherson of Ohio State
university is president.

Revolutionary
THE new method of gasoline pro.

ME new method- OF gaSollrle pro-
Il duction is known as hydrogena-
ton. Petroleum is mixture of
substances known to the chemist
as hydrocarbons.
In the hydrogenation process,
gaseous hydrogen is forced under
pressure into the petroleum. Chem
ical reactions take. place by which
the heavier hydrocarbons are broken
up and recomoined with the hydro
gen to form the lighter hypdrocar-
bons which constitute gasoline.
"Hydrogenation of petroleum, by
means of which chemists now are
able to convert every drop of oil
into salable gasoline, is regarded
Justly as a revolutionary step in the
development of the automobile in
dustry,p' Professor Krase said. "Yet
the new method indicates future
possibilities almost as striking.
1.-The new hydrogenation method
marks the progress of chemistry to
a further point. 1t begins with
petroleum and ends in gasoline.
Former cracking processes reduced
70 per cent of petroleum to gaso-
line, with a 80 per cent residue Of
tar, heavy oils and coke. More
over, quality variations in petro-
leum necessitated differences in
cracking methods to arrive at the
maximum of gasoline production.
with the new method, these
variations are unimportant. The
hydrogenation process is SO flexible
that any grade of petroluen1 can be
converted into saleable gasoline.
"It acconplishes this result by
breaking up the heavier hydrocar-
bons into simpler ones correspond
ing to those suitable for use in auto
mobiles"

THERE is trouble enough IN this
i world without any one going
out of his way to find it, or man
ufacturing pretexts to increase 1t.
Communism. for instance, has
created sufficient disturbance. with
out being made the basis of policy
toward Russia which did no one
any good, with the possible excep-
ton of professional flag-wavers.
And the professional flag-wayer5
are about ready to quit.
Even S. Stanwood Menken, chair
man of the board of directors Of the
National Security League, has
changed his mind in favor Of recog-
nizing the Soviet.
In the course Of time every one
else will, because recognition is in
evitable, and because there is moth
ing to show for failure TO grant 1t,

r WROTE the other day Of cats
4 in fact, against cats-and I did
so designedly, for I felt any such
article would elicit protests. The
cult of cat fanciers is not large, but
almost all the members of the group
are articulate.
Indeed, there is a high degree Of
literary proficiency among them.
Sometimes young men and women
send letters to me, under some Curl
Gus misapprehension, and ask, "How
does one become a writer?"
With full truth and perfect sin
cerity have been able to answer,
"FIow should I know?" But that re-
ply won't do forever. I am begin
ming to find certain ways in which
the trick can be accomplished.
From now on my reply will read,
"Ship as a sailor, become natural
ist. or keep a cat" All three occu-
pations seem to develop not only
the grace of style. but the gift OF
emotion.

1T SEEMS TO ME BY HBE%R9D BzCSS

Cats do not notice you when you
swear, it is true; they are too ami
able, too refined. They assume tha
a mad moment has seized you and
that presently you will regret your
coarseness, and out of a great in
nate delicacy they disregard your
expletives. Nothing could be sweet
er than that.

AS for the large cat which
usurped the middle of your bed
while you were in Connecticut, you
should not have been in Connecti-
cut, anyway, but certainly her per-
sistence in clinging to your downy
couch was nothing short of a com
pliment to you.
Il venture to assert that had this
feline assumed the aspect of a
young lady in pajamas you would
have done no vulgar booing and
shooing.
"As for throwing things at her,
she doubtless was well bred and
could not conceive of a gentleman
ousting her from his bed. Your
projectiles she took for express
sionS of your more playful moods
and endured them, purring.
She crawled under the bed at
last, because she no longer could
endure your roughness, but, of
course, she never dreamed that a
gentleman with such a counterpane
really meant to be rough.
"Cats are not stupid. All my cats
obey my orders just as quickly as
any dog ever had. They under
stand me better and are quite as
devoted.
"As for your iron will, cats are
great philosophers; they are far
more human than dogs; they don't
believe in your iron will any more
than we believe in the implacability
Of destiny.
Doubtless we are both fools-the
cat and but in that we are
united, conspicuous and supreme
to all other forms of existence
Learn to know cats and you will un-
derstand human nature and your
natural constituency better"
