REASON By Ff EEaDfs

TTOW far party government has repealed consti-
L tutional government is shown by the criticism
of those senators who voted against Judge Parker's
continuation.
The fathers would shudder if they knew senators
were condemned for exercising the power conferred
upon them; they might predict our doom if
they thought their admonition Stand by the Con-
stitution" to be superseded by the partisan
Interpolation, Stand by the President"
7REsH from tyrant hunt when they wrote our
Constitution they feared the President like Euro
pean rulers, would exceed his powers, so they said
the senate must confirm his appointments
The party mandate would make the senate mere
echo; instead Of having independence, it would have
parrots disease instead of celebrating whenever
White House messenger marched down the aisle and
proclaimed: Simon says thumbs up!" ninety-six
senators would turn up 1872 thumbs!
MANY Presidents have tried to coerce senates a
most dramatic rebuke of this tendency being de-
hvered by the late Senator Foraker at a Gridiron
dinner when he repelled Roosevelts censure OF his
action in the Brownsville matter.
THESE critics never abuse the President for re-
i fusng 70 stand by the senate when he vetoes a
BILL nor the supreme court when It sets aside law
Their fury is reserved entirely for the senate the
only delioeratiye body on Capitol Hill.
Nor are those senators irregular because they voted
against Judge Parker that is determined solely by
the party platform and Judge Parker was not men
toned IN the party platform
The fathers did not think of elephants donkeys;
they did think of geological government; they die
not think OF constitutional government
If We would make the senate a robot let us be
candid 60 the whole route and have Mussolini but
until then let The senate continue to he the senate

air, with the idea that it would aid
in producing pure air and also that
it might control disease.
Almost twenty years ago the
American Medical Association con-
Quoted a series of experiments to
find out whether there might be
any value in ozonized air either
for the control of coughs or colds,
or for any other purpose which
might be valuable to mankind.
The results of these irvestiga-
lions, carried on in the University
of Chicago, indicated that in ordi-
nary amounts ozone had little if
any effect on the bacteria and that
in higher concentrations it might
cause serious harm, through irritat-
ing the tissues.
Recently, DR.. Mcdonald has re-
peated these experiments, using a
modern ozone producing apparatus.
The effects of ozone in various con-
centrations were tested on guinea
pigs and a careful record made of
their weight and temperatures and

Ozonized Air Is Little Aid to Health

the general effects on their health.
Not only we're normal guinea pigs
studied, but also those suffering
from tuberculosis.
It was found that ozone in high
concentrates is extremely poison
GUS. If the concentrate is as much
as one part by weight in a thou
sand, it will cause the death of the
guinea pig by filling up the. lungs
and cutting off the air supply.
In lower concentrates of few
parts per nsllion, it is less irritat-
ing, but apparently sufficiently de-
structive to the tissue that pneu-
monia will develop
Mcdonald concludes that ozone
may continue in the air for several
months in concentration of even
less than one part to the million by
weight without any apparent virtue
in the life Of a guinea pig and is
therefore hardly suitable for any
valuable purpose in the health of
human beings.
High concentrations are irritating
0nd dangerous.

The money received will be di-

four theatrical organizations, and
another fifth will go to the emer-
gency kitchen being conducted by
the women's section of the Social
ist party. 1t makes it look like a
bigger salary to split the money so
widely.
Possibly it is not quite fair to urge
any portion of the public to stay
away for the sake of my peace of
mind, and whatI call my good

THOsE Americans who have

THOSE Americans VINO nave
L grown up with the agreeable
delusion that we are the only self
sufficient country on Gods green
earth will see nothing in the Bril-
and proposal but another interest
ing dream, and will proceed to con-
sole themselves by explaining why
it can not be realized.
Like their fathers before them,
they will talk much of the "en-
tangling alliances" with which
Europe is beset and which we must
avoid at all cost.
In all this, they merely will be
arguing that oXcart politics fit an
airplane age, and that, though the
deacon" was content to build a
one horse shay because he knew
nothing about automobiles, he still
was a Solomon when it came to
formulating foreign policy for the
United States.
At the scientific conference now
in session in Berlin, delegates will
be able to hear what is said in any
one of six languages merely by
using phones.
That is but one of many illustra-
tons which might be cited to prove
how definitely times are changing.
The old provincialism which once
played dominant part in world
politics is becoming obsolete, along
with wheelbarrows and smallpox.

Questions and
AnSzOerS

What kind of a ship was the
Emden?
1t was a famous German cruiser
that had a spectacular career as a
commerce raider in the World war,
from Aug. IL to Nov. 10, 1914, under
command of Lieutenant Captain
Won Muller. 1t was destroyed by
the Australian cruiser Sydney of
Cocos Island in the Pacific Ocean.
An officer and few members OF
the crew escaped in small boats
across the Indian Ocean and Red
Sea and reached Germany by way
of Damascus and Turkey.
What is Richard ArEen's address?
Paramount Studios, 5451 Mar
athon street, Hollywood, Cal.
What is the rest of the quotation
Laugh and the world laughs with
your"
The verse reads:
laugh and the world laughs with you,
Weep and you weep alone,
For this brave old earth must borrow its
mirth,
But has trouble enough of its own"
Is there such a word as alright?
No. The expression consists OF
two words, all right.
What is baIsam wood?
It is the lightest of all woods and
is used for pontoons, struts, RATS,
pads or bumpers in shipping con-
tanners, gliders, radio loud speakers
and insulation of all kinds.
Do all executions occur at one
minute after the hour?
No. The date is set by the court
and the time is left to the discretion
of the prison officials who perform
them at an hour when they will
interfere least with the routine OF
the prison.
Do all babies have blue eyes at
birth?
They are not all blue at BIRTH but
| it is only after lapse Of several
weeks that they begin to take on q
definite be.

NNR. ARTHUR BRISBANE seems

MIR. ARTHUR BRISBANE seems
1YA to be against any curtailment
of armament upon the part of the
United States. He suggests that we
should initiate Great Britain in
the days of her power and self
confidence before the war"
Before the war; continues Mr..
Brisbane, Britain sang We've Got
the Men, We've Cot the Ships,
We've Got the Money, Too "
But in the next paragraph he
admits, at present, they haven't
got the money. We have it.
There must be something wrong
in the example. Where are the
men? Killed in the war. Where
are the ships? Sunk in the North
sea. Where is the money? Spent
to equip men who were alive and
are dead. Squandered to build
battleships now obsolete and
broken. Wasted to perpetuate the
fallacy that preparedness is insur-
ance against the possibility of war.
Surely the English theory which
Mr.. Brisbane recommends has not
worked so well for her. Why should
we embark upon it?

SCIENCE
Bitter Controversy RACES
Among Scientists Over
Origin and Enrly History
of Man.
BY DAVID DIETZ :

A LMOST every question connect
n ed with the origin and early
history of mankind is the subject
of a battle today.
One RACES over the question of
the antiquity of man. Is the hu-
man race-Homo SapienS, as the
scientist calls present man-only a
millions years old or is it more than
100000 years old?
Did Homo Sapiens make his in
ltial bow to the world in Europe,
Asia or Africa? Eminent authori-
ties can be found to support each
Of the three views.
Where did civilization begin to
flourish? There was q time when
authorities agreed pretty generally
that it began in Egypt. Many emf
nent authorities still cast their vote
for Egypt. But Babylon has been
gaining support in recent years and
very recently few votes have been
cast for Persia.
These battles do not prove that
anthropologists and archeologists-
as scientists who study those prob
lens are called-are unusually bel
Igerent. Rather they prove the ex-
IRENE youth Of the scientific aspects
IF anthropology and archaeology.
They also prove that the present
period is one of great activity in
research in these fields.
But despite the vast amount of
research going on, the amount of
evidence from which to draw con-
illusions is still pitifully small.

Singer Influence

NNE of the witnesses before the
~ mayors taxicab board reported
that the present cabs are far too
big. He said that half that size
would do as well.
If this recommendation is taken
seriously it will be necessary for me,
even when in haste, to pause long
enough to ask the driver, Have you
got shoehorn?"
Twenty eight hundred drivers en-
ployed by the motor cab transpolta-
ton system are now on strike de-
handing recognition of their union.
1t seems to me that the travelling
public ought to be sympathetic.
Unionization inevitably means sta
bilization of the industry, more re-
sponsibility on the part of the driv-
ers, and better service all around.

Fossils

THE lack of evidence, particular
l. ly that upon which to base any
conclusions as to the origin and an
tiquity of man, was stressed by DR.
Gerrit S. Miller Jr. in the annual
report of the Smithsonian Institu-
ton.
DR.. Miller, curator of the divi-
sion of mammals of the United
States Natiopal Museum at Wash
ington, pointed out that there were
only two fossil finds upon which to
base conclusions.
They constitute the so-called Java
man, parts of a skull and other
bones found at Trinil, Java, and the
So-called Piltdown man, parts of a
skull and bones found at Piltsdown,
Sussex, England.
There is no agreement among an
thropologists over the age or appear
ance of either Java or Piltdown man.
DR.. Miller pointed out that the
great need of science today is more
fossils upon which to base conclu-
Sions.
Opinions about Java man and
Piltdown man are varied in the ex-
IRENE.
At the beginning of this year DR..
Henry Fairfield Osborn, president of
the American Museum of Natural
history of New York, discussed his
views of the two fossils in his adj
dress as retiring president of the
American Association for the ADJ
vancement of Science. This was at
the meeting of the association in
Des Moines, Ia.
DR.. Osborn said that the scientific
name, Pithecanthropus, which has
been given the Java man, is a mis-
homer. Pithecantfropus means
"apeman." DR.. Osborn insisted that
Java man was essentially like modern
man and without ape characteristics.
He said that he should be called a
dawn man."
DR.. Osborn also insisted that the
human race existed in the so-called
Pliocene or Tertiary age, the age
preceding the glacial age, which is
known as the Pleistocene or Quater-
nary age. Most authorities feel that
man did not exist prior to the glacial
age.

Drive

A T the meeting of the American
IA Philosophical Society recently
held in Philadelphia, DR.. Ales Hrd-
licka, famous anthropologist of the
Smithsonian Institution, took issue
with DR.. Osborn.
But at the same time, DR.. Hrd-
licka admitted the scarcity of evil
dence upon which to base conclu-
sions and also the extreme youth of
scientific anthropology
DR.. Hrdlicka did not deny COM
pletely the possibility of man hav-
ing existed prior to the glacial age,
but insisted that such existence has
not been proved
It is the privilege and also the
duty of DR.. Osborn, Dr. Hrdlicka in
sisted, to make use Of the unparal-
leled resources of men, materials,
and money which he can command
as the president of the great Amer
lean Museum of Natural History,
to make thorough and critical ex-
animation of the whole question,
supported by extensive work in the
fields and intensive study in the
museum in the hopes that such in
tensive drive may lead to a solution
Of the problem.
DR.. Hrdlicka is skeptical on a
number of points which seem well
established to DR.. Osborn.
DR.. Osborn feels certain that the
remains of Piltdown man were
found in geological strata of the
Tertiary Age. DR.. Hrdlicka does
not believe that this has been estab-
lished.
1.-The earliest authenticated finds
of human bones and implements be-
long to the middle of the glacial
age" DR.. Hrdlicka declared.

NzONE is merely a different form
Oof oxygen than that which COM
monty occurs in air. High above
the surface of the earth where the
air is very cold and dry and where
ultraviolet rays are abundant, the
amount of ozone is considerable.
AS has been pointed out by H. B.
Mcdonnell, this ozone layer serves
as a screen to protect the surface
of the earth from the effects of too
much ultraviolet light.
Near the surface of the earth the
amount of ozone is much less. It is
reported to be as much as .01 to
.02 thousandths of a gram for each
cubic yard of air.
Ozone has penetrating odor. It
is known to destroy bacteria when
in high concentration. Therefore,
from time to time devices have been
developed for adding ozone to the

HIT BY FACTS
Steel Down-ShoW
Worsening Crisis

More than thirty days have
passed since Hoover issued his big,
gest lie about the economic crisis,
He said both unemployment and the
crisis would be solved in sixty days.
What are the facts? The crisis
is worse now than on March T.
when the chief imperialist liar
spoke.
The United States Steel Corpora
ton has cut it's output down to 70
per cent, compared to SO per cent
a week ago and 90 per cent yea
ago. In short, steel production IN
the largest plant is 10 per cent be-
loW year ago! 1t is gradually
dropping when it should be going up
even within a cyclical crisis.
The entire output of the steel in
dustry is dropping at the very time,
the beginning of the spring building
season, when it should be going up
This is unprecedented in the his
tory of capitalism.
Another fact: Freight car load
