sugars are not acted on by the
gastric juices except slightly.
Little absorption of the food takes
place in the stomach. The food,
after being acted on in the Stom-
ach, goes through an opening called
the pylorus into the intestines.
The pylorus, which is at the
lower end Of the stomach, opens
and closes at intervals, so that only
small quantities pass through at one
time. The intestines are not, there
fore, overwhelmed with food in ex-
cess OF the ability to digest.
The complete emptying Of the
stomach depends, of course, on the
amount of food put into it. In the
case of the child fed at the breast,
the stomach usually empties itself
by the end of two hours.
In the case of infants fed with
dilutions of cows milk modified in
various ways, from two and one
half to three hours or more may be
required. If the cows milk is
treated so that the curds are very
small, the mixture will leave the
stomach more quickly than in in

"TT~HE second criticism is that 1

'Now, Mr.. William J. Bryan may

ANNIVERSARY
MONTGOMERY's BIRTH
December 2

December 2
ON Dec. 2, 1876, Richard Mont
~ gomery, a soldier who fought
with great distinction in both the
British and American armies, was
born near Feltrin, Ireland.
Following his graduation from
Trinity college in Dublin, Mont
gomery joined the British army as
an ensign and came to America to
fight in the French and Indian
war.
He displayed such courage and
sagacity at the siege of Louisburg
that he was promoted to captain.
After the conquest Of Canada he
returned 70 England, where he re-
manned for seven years, when, sell
ing his commission, he emigrated
to New York.
In IT'S he represented Duchess
county in the first provincial con-
vention, and in the same year was
appointed by congress brigadier-
general in the Continental army.
In the expedition against Can
ada he captured successfully Cham
bly,, st. Johns and Montreal. Soon
after his promotion to maior-gen-
eral he was killed in an attempt to
storm Quebec.
The bullet that killed him, curi-
ously, was the only one fired. His
troops retreated on his death. A
monument in his honor was erected
by the order Of congress in front Of
st. Pauls church in New York. (

XXTHEN all is said and done, the
w situation requires more than
measures OR money.
The public will be influenced, not
only by what congress does, but by
the way congress does it.
If this session runs to politics, the
effect will be bad, no matter how
many appropriations are authorized.
The public has shown it's willing
ness to make sacrifices for the COM
mon good. 1t expects congress to
do no less
On every hand, one can find
evidence Of unusual efforts for CO.
operative action. City politicians
have laid aside their differences,
state leaders have worked together,
regardless of party, corporations
have reduced their dividends, and
voluntary organizations have been
formed.
The people are expecting congress
to get in line, to recognize the sit
uation as it is, to refrain from
playing the game" as usual, and
assume the role of leadership.

HEALTH SERVICE
Digestive Process Is Made Clear

stances in which the curds are very
large.
Sugars are likely to leave the
stomach before the proteins and
fats. If there is an excess Of fat
in the food, the emptying time from
the stomach is likely to be longer.
There are, moreover, certain
disease conditions affecting the
pylorus, the point at which the
food passes from the stomach into
the intestines.
In cases in which spasm or con-
traction of the pylorus occurs, Or in
cases in which the pylorus is
narrowed greatly because of some
form of disease, the time required
for food to pass from the stomach
into the iptestines may be length
ened greatly.
It is also well to know that the
force of gravity may be employed
in encouraging the emptying of food
from the stomach into the in
testineS.
Thus the food passes more quickly
from the stomach into the intestines
if one lies on the right side and, in
the case Of the infant, if it is held
erect.

Good EXAMPLE Needed

TT is largely within the power Of
l. congress to correct the unhappy
state of mind in which so many
millions of Americans are laboring,
not only by providing immediate
work for those out of employment,
but by letting it be known that the
federal government is aware of the
problem and willing to do what it
can.
The right kind of example would
be Of supreme value.
What the public needs more than
anything else is a restoration of
confidence.
President Hoover and Joseph P.
Robinson, Democratic leader in the
senate, have agreed on legislative
program.
That should be the keynote of
future proceedings.
The situation calls for all possible
accord and the least possible fric-
ton.
Even if every one were to lay
aside his pet schemes and partisan
prejudices, there still would be diff
culties enough to overcome.
1t is not the party, but the nation
that calls for service.

Not for Things

"WOU are, therefore, stating my
Il position when you say that
men do sacrifice themselves to dis
cover a new truth Men never die
for things alone, but what they be-
ieve about things.
mo scientist ever died for a bug;
he died for the sake of humanity
which that bug was singing. No
man ever laid down his life for the
stars, but he will, perhaps, lay down
his life for the truth which the
stars bring.
"Your friend the anthropologist
who broke up your poker game did
not risk his life just for carved
idols, but only for greater knowledge
about anthropology.
It is, therefore, not matter but the
spirit which summons the best in
men-the spirit of learning, the
spirit of truth, the spirit of love-
and all these are above the individ-
ual man in dignity and worth.
II am, therefore, not saying that
a religious principle is at work; I
am saying only that a material
thing like the Milky Way is not
enough.
"Yoa are right and agree with me
in saying that scientists are after
something called the TRUTH but sit
seems to me- not quite so right in
saying that many a man has de-
voted his whole life to the chasing
of single planet
"If the chasing of single planet
constitutes the glory of a scientist,
why not glorify those planets which
have been chasing the tails of other
planets not for lifetime but for
millions and millions of years?

A TheoIogian
Il SHFEN WHITES:

L
~ In your column you made
the following statement; The grav-
est error in argument was achieved,
I think, by the Rev. DR.. Fulton j..
Sheen of the Catholic university.
washington, D. G. In speaking OF
Einstein's cosnaical philosophy DR..
Sheen asserted, Men are willing to
die for what we call the milk of
human kindness, but who in this
world is willing to lay down his lie
for the Milky Way?"
1.-THE statement that nobody Is
willing to lay down his life for the
Milky Way certainly does not mean
what you take it to mean, namely
that nobody is willing to die in pur-
suit of pure science, for the simple
reason that the Milky Way is not
science any more than buttermilk
or green cheese or a Tom Thumb
golf course is science.
ITO equste the Milky Way with
science is like equating 100 square
miles with patriotism or 100000
gallons of water with Annapolis
school spirit. The Milky Way is a
thing; science is a thing related to
a mind and particularly as regards
its quantity and its measurements.
"a bird can see the Milky Way,
but it can never produce science. To
criticise me for a~failure to appre-
ciate the appeal of sciences because
I say 10 one is willing to lay down
his life for the Milky Way, is, Mr..
Broun, to borrow your own phrase,
to commit the gravest error in ar
gument,'

Images in Space
THIS notion of the curvature

THIS notion Of the curvature of
Il space leads to the following
conclusion A ray of light leaving
the sun and travelling without in
terruption ought to make the cir
cult of the universe and return to
the sun.
Now rays of light leave the sun
in all directions. Therefore, these
rays ought to intersect on the OPP
posite side Of space, halfway around
the universe.
A globe of the earth such as is
used in geography classes will help
you visualize this. On the globe
are a great many circles radiating
out from the north pole. All Of
these circles intersect at the south
pole.
Now where the rays from the sun
come together halfway around the
universe, they ought to form ar
other image, an imaginary sun, or,
if you please, a ghost of the sun.
And if we had a powerful enough
telescope, it ought to be possible to
point it at the midnight sky and
see that ghost in the far reaches Of
space.
Stars and nebulae ought to have
similar images or GHOSTS" out in
space.
And, recently. astronomers have
suggested having sighted two such
ghosts
Two very faint nebulae visible in
powerful telescopes are known by
catalog numbers as H3433 and MS3.
L Jeans and others suggest that
these really are the images of the
two spiral nebulae which are near
est to us in space, namely NIB and
NIB.

TINE process Of digestion takes
4 place in the stomach and in
the intestines.
When cows milk is fed to an in
FAINT, the gastric juice increases in
acidity to take care Of the differ
ence in reaction between the cows
milk and the human milk.
To bring cows milk to the opti-
mum acidity for digestion, three
times as much acid must be added
to a given amount as is necessary
with ordinary human milk.
When one part of cows milk is
diluted with two parts of water, the
diluted milk, in its reaction, is more
like human milk. Therefore, to
make cows milk more digestible for
an infant, it may be diluted be-
fore feeding.
There are, however, other means
Of accomplishing the same purpose,
such as the addition of acid or the
use Of heat.
Fat undergoes little digestion in

I'd ECENTLY I wrote commenting
IN upon an address of the Rev.
DR.. Fulton ]. Sheen of Catholic uni
versity, who criticised the religion
of Professor Einstein.
DR.. Sheen feels that I misinter-
preted his position, and, since ne
replies with eloquence and spirit,
it is a pleasure to accord him the
courtesy of the column.
On account of the limitations OF
space it has been necessary to cut
his letter a little, but not in such a
way as to impair the gist of his
argument.

Space Is Curved

TINE new point OF view grows out
L of Einstein's postulate that
space is curved. The average lay
man will have difficulty grasping
this notion, but in the last analysis
it is no more confusing than older
notions.
Mankind, since the days Of the
early Greeks, has speculated upon q
problem to which there is no salts
factory answer. Is space infinite
or finite?
If it is finite, what lies beyond
the end of space? Obviously, the
notion of finite space is not very
satisfactory.
And on the other hand, if You will
reflect for few minutes upon the
implications and meaning of in
finite space, it begins to send cold
shiverS up and down your spine.
The human mind does not seem
quite able to cope with the idea Of
infinity.
Now Einstein says that space is
unbounded but finite. The result is
that just as on the surface of the
earth you can travel forever even
though there is limited amount Of
surface, so in space you may travel
endlessly but only in limited
amount of space.
If you travel in one direction on
the earth's surface, you get back to
where you started. This is due to
the curvature of the earth's surface,
Similarly, says Einstein, space is
curved, SO that if you travel far
enough in one direction in space,
you finally get back to your start
ing point.
This, according to Einstein, is the
result OF the curvature of space.

What is a desert? why are some

Wnat Is desert. why are some
called hot and some cold deserts?
Any expanse of land which pro-
duces insufficient vegetation to sup
port human population is called a
desert. They are classified accord
ing to the causes which gave rise
to them. In cold deserts" the alb
sence of vegetation is consequent
upon the prevailing low tempera-
lures, while in hot deserts, the
causes are high temperatures and
deficient rainfall. Cold deserts ac-
cordingly occur in high ATTITUDES
and hot deserts are primarily found
along the hot, dry, tropical belts Of
high atmospheric pressure, and on
their equatorial sides, but the zonal
arrangement is considerably modi-
fed in some regions by the influence
of elevated land.

LESLIE BALKS AT

Eleventh-hour efforts to get Gov

to be a complete failure at noon to-
day.
Why will the Governor not at
tend this notable and historic G.

own words:
Because Frederick Lands, Lo-
gansport editor and former con-
gresham, is to be the principal
speaker"
There are others who will remain
away for the same reason.
Charles L. Biederwolf, clerk of
the supreme and appellate courts,
says he will not be there because: !:
I'm a Republican"
Leslie made reference to "the
doubtful Republicanism" of Lan1;s.
Back in 1872" he said, Lands
was Bull Moose, going about the
state charging the Republicans with
