We Have GOOD Idols

The American nation seems to be under the neces-
sity of finding an idol every SO often and putting
him up on a high pedestal. The idol is generally g
young man, and the nation-which usually admires
him as much for his modesty as for any~thing-does its
level best to destroy his modesty and give him a very
badly swolleu head.
AS it happens, we've been extremely fortunate if
our choice of idols lately. First there was Lindbergh
who stood up under the ordeal as well as any young
man possibly could have. Now it seems to be Bobby
Jones; and he, too, seems to be just the sort of stuff
that the nation needs in a popular figure.
Really, we owe these two young men a good deal
They have given us, and especially our youngsters
very worthy targets for hero worship. They have
too, set a pretty high standard for future national
idols to live up to.

History

history of the speculative ideas
about atom building in cosmic pro-
cesses-a very ticklish thing to do.
since during the last twenty years
this question has aroused general
interest" DR.. Millikah writes.
but if the historian of this do
main can find anything useful in
it, l will be glad to contribute my
own knowledge of the history of the
subject.
I'm the year 1904, when 1 was en-
gagged in the study of certain rare
ores for their uranium content by
the action of radioactivity, Profess
Sor F. R. Moulton of the University
Of Chicago came to me with the
statement that even if the sun were
originally of pure uranium it could
not have given up as much energy
as he would regard as necessary for
a minimum of the life of the sun,
and that, therefore, it was necessary
to p~ostulate a store of coSmic energy
from previously unknown sources
for the stellar energies"
DR.. Millikan then goes on to say
that though it was not generally
appreciated at the time, such a
source already had been found in
the interchangeability of matter
and radiation, first suggested by
Kaufman in 1901 and developed
more thoroughly by Einstein in 1905

Pensions and Politics

One of President Hoovers recommendations ac-
oepted by congress was the consolidation of all
governmental agencies dealing with veterans relief
under one administrative head. General Frank 7.
Hines, director of the veterans bureau. has been
named administrator of veterans affairs, and will
have under his direction the veterans bureau, the
bureau Of pensions and the national home for dis
abled volunteer soldiers.
President Hoover expects through this amalgama-
ton to save several millions annually in admin
istrative costs and at the same time to afford vet
Grams and their dependents more efficient service.
This. however. should not be the only b~enehcent
effect of the consolidation. Combining all veterans
agencies under one head should be the first step of
a determined effort to take pensions out Of politics.
Since the pension system was established years
ago. legislators and even Presidents have used pen
sions as a means of getting votes. Increases almost
invariably have been granted just before elections.
Take the session of congress just ended, for in
stance. The Spanish war bill was enacted over the
Presidents veto, increases were granted to Civil war
veterans and widows and for the first time pensions
were granted to veterans of the World war.
There is an election in November. 1t is no secret
that World war veterans already are looking toward
an increase Just before the 1882 elections, if not
sooner.
Congress could eliminate the trading Of pensions
for votes by devising a scientific and permanent
policy. to apply to all veterans, regardless Of the,
wars in which they served. Few, if any, veterans
who actually were disabled in service have failed to
receive aid from the government. The number denied
compensation or pensions for any reason is small.
That brings up the question Of what is to be
done for veterans who have become disabled since
leaving the service. The country's pension policy
always has been based on disability and age, but the
rates for the veterans of different wars have varied
greatly. largely due to political log-rolling and the
pressure the groups have been able to put on congress.
The sensible thing to do is to work out a system
based on age and disability under which the rates
for all veterans will be uniform, and stick to it.
Until this is done. We can expect to see political
wrangling over pensions every time congress meets.

thing: The prevalence, among cultured and thought
full minds. of a great Encouragement and disap-
pointment over our current civilization.
Why should this be? In a great many ways we
have made very genuine progress in the last two or
three decades. Living conditions are easier for mil
lions of human beings. An enormous amount OF
soul-kiling drudgery has been outlawed forever. Sci
entists have pushed the boundaries Of human knowl-
edge back almost to in1nity. In the creative arts
the land is more active than ever before. Why should
so many thinkers be downcast?
The answer, it may be, lies in our increasing ten
dency to rely on machinery and science. We have,
in this way. set ourselves free from some old evils,
but there is not, so far, any clear indication whert
we are going.
Our machines have developed faster than we have
II we are going to be able to control them intelli-
gently, then we can enter into an era in history splen-
did beyond belief; but if we are not, an appalling
sort of disaster is bound to befall us.
1t will not help simply to shout the peSSimistS
down. We need to study the new dispensation more
closely than we ever have studied anything; to FIND
out just what its possibilities are, and to set our
selves the task of realizing them. If we do this, we
can confound the critics; If not, their gloomy preic-
tons will be justified.

fruits and vegetables; uncontrolled
dust; crowding; possibility OF fire
through the use of oil lamps at
tached to wooden shackS; lack OF
mosquito netting, and perhaps null
tiplication of activities to the point
at which the children become IA
tigued and even exhausted.
From this brief and quite in
complete consideration of the posi-
BILE dangers of camp life, it is OBJ
vious that parents should inform
themselves fully concerning the cur
riculum of the camp, the amount OF
work expected of the child, and the
problem of sanitation that has been
mentioned.
In a few states, health officials
have included the camps in Their
purview. By means of regular iii
spection, they assure themselves
that the laws of the state are hav-
ing full compliance.
In the vast majority Of states,
however, there are no. laws regu-
lating the camps, and appropria-
tions are not made for necessary
inspectors even if the laws give
the health officials full authority.
The camps are, moreover, at con-
siderable distance from the city
and are likely TO be overlooked,
unless some official study is made
a matter of routine.
Of the thousands of camps al
ready established, a minimum
percentage provide an inf1rmary
for children who fall i'll and a still
smaller percentage have available
a registered nurse or a physician.

Health Magazine.

THE summer camp has become a
Il fixture in modern life. The
moment school is ended, parents
begin to cast about with a view to
finding places in the out-of-doors
where boys and girls of adoleScent
years may spend one Or two months
or even n or two weeks in recrea-
ton, accompanied by instruction.
The discipline and the social con-
facts of camp life and, on the other
hand, the advantages to parents of
being temporarily separated from
the problems Of the growing child
are factors that have been RESPONSE
bic for the popularity Of the sum-
mer camp.
Already thousands of such camps
have been established in various
parts of the country. They exploit
their particular advantages in vari-
GUS mediums of publication, by lee
lures, by circulars and especially by
testimonials and recommendations.
In the selection of a summer
camp the parent should ascertain
whether the camp supplies sanitary
conditions, food, medical attention
and social conditions at least as
good as those that the child has at
home.

been observed in some camps in

failure to provide safe milk, fresh

An Exchange of Visitors

American motorists are expected to spend around
S30O,OO0,000 in Canada this summer. The great dornin-
ion north of the border has unrivaled attractions as a
vacation land-and we're not speaking of its liquor
laws now, either. Citizens of the United States are dis
covering the fact in increasing numbers every year.
However, Canadians do a good deal of touring,
too. and a lot of them cross the border to do it. In
1929, according to dominion government figures. Canad-
ian tourists spent more than $111,0O0JOOO in the
United States, and more than $4,000 Canadian au-
tomobiles went south over the boundry. The figures
probably will be higher this year.
Here is reciprocity of the finest sort. That famous
unfortihed frontier is in no danger as long as the
two nations exchange friendly visits on such a scale.

Study Health Conditions at Camp

Reports from camps show that
children have had broken arms and
legs, appendicitis, meningitis or in
fictitious diseases and have not had
proper attention promptly.
Delays often have proved serious
or even fatal. Here is a question
with which parents should concern
themselves before selecting a camp
for their child.
1t is typical of American life that
we constantly develop new inven-
tionS. new games and new methods
of living, and that we try them out
before we ascertain their actual
value or their detriment to human
health and life.
The development of the summer
camp has been perhaps another
demonstration of this nature.
Accurate statistics do not seem tc
be available to prove the advantages
Of all camps for health building or
for any other purpose. The eX-
pertinent has been a mass expert
ment, from which the general i'm
preston is good.
If the records of hundreds OF
camps, with various types of con-
ditionS, could be assembled it might
be possible to determine how much
good or how much harm they have
wrought.
In the meantime, the caution
would seem to be well worth en-
phasizing again that parents inves-
tigate and rate the camp according
to the many factors that are fun
damental in protecting the child
against preventable disease.

Pessimism Needs Study

Theodore Dresser. having completed an extensive
tour Of the United States. finds his famous pessimism
more firmly entrenched than ever. He tells an inter
viewer that constitutional government has abdicated,
that Americans no longer can express themselves as
individuals, that the average citizen has lost his power
to think, and that literature is practically dead.
Conditions here are in many ways similar to those
in Russia before the revolution" he asserts. Il am
more convinced than ever that the country is headed
for great social changes that viii Illustrate the life of

Dreisler never has been one to look on the bright
side OF things. His novels breathe a bitter doubt
or. rather. a firm conviction that humanity is fight
ing a hopeless fight against the powers of darkness.
To have him bring back anything but a pesSimistic
report on TIE state OF the nation would be a lremen-
dous surprise.

SCIENCE
University of Chicago Ac-
corded Large Place IN His
tory of Modern Science.
DAVID DIETZ'

A NEW distinction in the field OF
n scientific pioneering is claimed
for the University Of Chicago by DR..
r. A.. Millikan, world-famous phys
icist and discoverer of the coSmic
rays.
DR.. Millikan states that specula-
tons upon the subjects of atom
building" that is, upon the prob
ability of processes going on some
where in the universe by which mat
ter is brought into existence from
radiation and lighter atoms built
into heavier ones, first were ad-
vanced at that university.
He gives the credit for them to
Professor w. D. Macmillan, famous
astronomer of the University of
Chicago.
Any history of modern science will
have to accord a large place to the
University of Chicago. The Nobel
prize in physics has gone to three
Americans.
Two of Them, DR.. Albert A.
Nicholson and DR.. Arthur H.
Compton, are still! members of the
university faculty. The third is DR..
Millikan, now of Pasadena, Cal. But
DR.. Millikan formerly was at the
university and received the prize
for his work in isolating and meas
uring the charge of the electron, a
piece of research which he did
while at the university.
DR.. Nicholson has measured the
speed of light with greater accuracy
than any scientist in history. In
addition, he devised the interior
ometer, a device which has found
countless uses in scientific research.
E~instein's theory of relatively is
based upon an experiment per-
formed with The interferometer by
Nicholson and the late DR.. E. w.
Morley.

REASONS FRT naa1fs

OUR national birth rate fell last year, there being
~ a decline in all but four of the forty-three states
from which figures were gathered.
We do not know that deliberate thought had any
thing to do with it, but we do know that fathers and
mothers are worrying more about the future of their
children than ever before.
With more and greater mergers all the time, with
more and greater labor-saving machinery and with
the chain system likely to capture every human &C
tivity, it's little wonder parents wonder what their
children will be up against.
DUT if the white race continues to hand posterity
- a rain check, as it is doing in the United States
and in every European country, except Russia, the
day will dawn when the pale face will surrender
world control, unless the Chinese, japanese and the
HindooS can be induced to abandon mass production.

This recent international convention of Rotary al
Chicago was the most distinguished gathering OF
leaders from the ends of earth since the conference

These men were not diplomats, trying to put some

mon organization, just being good fellows.

If peace ever comes to earth it viii come as a re-

another as a result of informal contacts; it never will
come as a result of world conferences.
Diplomats have no more relationship to interna-

ORANGE DAY

July IL
ON July IL, Irish Protestants
~ celebrated the anniversary of
the Battle of Boyne, fought in 1890,
because it commentaries the vic
tory of the Protestant William III,
Prince of Orange, over the Catholic
James II.
On account of their support of the
prince of Orange, the Catholics of
Ireland named ProtestantS of the
c~ountrymen Orangemen. The Catho-
lies, who were oppressed by the Eng
liSh on accounts of their Jacohite
leanings, began to form semi-revo-
lutionary societies in protest.
In opposition, the Irish Profess
tants formed a society called the
Loyal Drainage Institution, the OBJ
ject of which was to maintain the
union of England and Ireland and
the Protestant succession to the
crown. Williams victory assured
the ascendancy of Professionalism in
England.
The Orange Society had a COM
pick organization. In Ireland the
society has for a long time had no
influence, but there are numerous
lodges stils existing in the United
c&-k
