The Pythagorean School
Bv Archibald Henderson

It is customary to speak Of
Pythagoras as a great teacher,
the author Of a famous theorem
and q forerunner Of Euclid.
But most important Of all that
can be said of Pythagoras is
that he was the founder Of a
great school of thought. He
and his followers made i'm
,portant contributions to mathe-
maticS, music, astronomy and
ether branches Of knowledge.
They pooled their resources,
10 to speak, and contributed
collectively rather than indi-
vidually. It is Henri Poincare,
the famous mathematician and
philosopher, who well said,
scientists know full well that
iii their forces put together
are none too much for the
etupendous task they have
undertaken"
After all, science really means
knowledge, in the original
sense. But 1t means far more,
& is far more intensified, than
this. It represents a technic.
q discipline, a mode OF ap-
proach.
AS Benjamin Ginzburg says
In his fascinating work, THE
Adventure of Science: The
Greeks set the example of dis
interested scientific. research,
and they Carried on without
any of the material rewards
which have fallen to the lot Of
modern science. Science was
for them its own reward"
It may almost be said truth
fully that Pythagoras founded
the science of mathematics. So,
powerful was the effect of his
forceful personality upon his
followers that Empedocles.
Greek philosopher who lived
half a century after PythagoraS,
said Of the latter, "He was q
man Of prodigiouS knowledge
who acquired the profoundest
wealth Of understanding and
was the greatest master of
skilled arts of every kind: for,
whenever he willed. with his
whole heart, he could with ease
discern each and every truth in
his ten-nay, twenty-men's
lives"
Pythagoras was q great
aAacher, because he taught his
palpils not merely so much
knowledge, but something much
more influential and far-reach-
Ags q way oe ltfe." In his

So far as the dismissal Of any

to the disqualification, the writer

When war was declared and

Not one day. If they did not

Veteran Makes Reply
To Clerks Attack

E1ttOf, Ine 1tnIeS'
The article headed "Bitter
Attack on Veterans by q Gov
ernment Clerk" happened to
hit me as I am one Of the
campfire sitters" and "squawk-
ers" 1t referred to.
I was one Of the veterans
who wrote an article In The
Times about o week ago In
regard TO working women
whose husbands make enough
to support them comfortably.
AS one of the "SquaWkerS" I
wish to announce to the writer
of that article that I served
eighteen months overseas with
the 18th Artillery Of the Third
Division and fought in five bat
ties. I enlisted at II, and was
not drafted, either.
And l was educated in the
public schools and not by the
government; the government
has yet to get me any kind Of
employment, and I have never
received any kind Of charitable
aid-so I do not think 1t is q
charitable institution Of any
kind.
The only thing the govern
ment has given me since my
honorable discharge was q bo-
nus policy, but the policies are
not doing the boys any good
right now and they need cash.
Why doesn't the government
help the veterans right now by
cashing the policies and putting
money In circulation? It would
help the whole country and be
much less expensive than carry
ing the policies and hiring lot
of clerks to take care of them.
/ am q widower with three
little girls and I need money
to clothe them and feed them
and keep them warm this
winter.
Where was this government
clerk when the. Red Cross,

ganizations were calling for

HOOVER KEEPS
LEGGE AT POST
ANOTHER YEAR
Farm Relief in Mid Stream,
President Feels: Error
to Change Now.

WASHINGTON, March 29.-Alex-
ander Legge, chairman o, the fed
eral farm board, and an admins
tration storm center for many
weeks, has been persuaded by Presi-
dent Hoover to remain in office an
other year, it was learned authori-
tatively today. His first year of
service expires June Is.
When he accepted leadership in
the difficult task of helping the
farmer, Legge expected to remain
only q. year. He left 500, 000-a-
year position with the International
Harvester Company. and planned to
lead the board only through the
farm emergency.
President Hoover has ignored the
opposition to Legge from the grain
trade, led by julius Barnes, an init
mate friend of the President, and
official of the United States Cham
Der of Commerce.
In the nine months he has headed
the administrations farm relief
agency, Legge has established four
huge national cooperative market
ing associations to handle grain,
cotton. beans, wool and mohair.
He has lent some $80000000 of
federal money and is planning ag-
gregate credits of $200,000,000. A
grain sterilization corporation to
buy surplus stocks also has been
formed.
President Hoover believes the adj
ministration's farm relief plans are
now in mid stream. and it would be

tice Levy denied Fox an Injunction
against the co-trusteeS.
This brings us up to the cele-
brated meeting of stockholders
which developed into a two-day af-
fair featured by acrimony on both
sides. Both Fox and the trustees
voted the Glass B stock at this
meeting and the result was an
overwhelming vote for the Fox plan
by the Glass A stockholders.
But it was by no means q COM
plete victory. Litigation since has
piled up on every size and it is
not yet certain whether Fox even

power over his holdings. The law

NEW YORK. March 2S.-Litiga-
don. when millions are at stake, is
apt TO become hydra headed Ger
Bainly that has been the case in
'slne prolonged fight for control of
William Fox's motion picture or
CARNATIONS. Ever since Dee. IL,
1929. there has been at least one
court acton pending and on some
days the battle has been ragged in
as many as three legal arenas.
When stock prices crashed last
fall, Fox owed money he could
not pay Furthermore the invest
ing public was not in a buying mood
and a tentative plan TO make
stock Offering was abandoned.
Two Of the principal creditors

and the Electrical Research Prod

Agreement Repudiated
Fox er repudiated the agree
ment, but Stuart and Otterson con-
tend 1t still stands. The state courts
upheld them and now Fox is at
tempting to have Federal Judge
Coleman rule to the contrary.
That. however, is only one phase
Of the costly litigation which is ex-
pc-ted to continue for months. Fox
maintains that he was offered S18,-

his companies if he would drop

this he has refused to do and so,

For COLDS

We all catch colds and they can make us miserable
but yours needn't last long if you will do this: Take
two or three tablets of Bayer Aspirin just as soon as
possible after cold starts Stay in the house if you
can-keep warm. Repeat with another tablet or two
of Bayer Aspirin every three or four hours, if those
symptoms of cold persist Take good laxative when
you retire, and keep bowels open If throat is sore,
dissolve three tablets in quarterglassfu of water
and gargle This soothes inflammation and reduces
infection. There is nothing like Bayer Aspirin for a
cold, throat. And it relieves aches and pains
almost instantly. The genuine tablets marked Bayer,
are absolutely harmless to the heart

ELM CITY MATMEN
 ID MEET LOCALS
New Haven Wrestling Team to
 Appear at Gym Tomorrow Night

The New Haven Y. NJ, C. A. wrestling team will be here tomor- row night to tackle the Hardware City grapplers. New Britain and New Haven have met twice before on the mat and each time has won a meet. Last year the Elm City squad defeated the local wrestling team on its home floor IS to 1 and in a re- turn match the local team turned the tables with a s to 13.
 Both squads will send in men in the various classes ranging from 1l5 lbs. 10 165 lbs, Each match will go for eight minutes to be decided by fall or decision. In case of a tie in any of the matches the contestants will be required to Wrestle two two- minute overtime periods.
 New Haven probably will have in their lineup in the 115 ID class A. Proto. state champion, who defeat ed N. Crowley Of New Britain in 3 min. sec. New Britain will send in against him Lawrence Monette, ihLt ol tllt 4Nol III [httiifH t'''i' but now a member of the local "Y'. J. Guidone of the Elm City team will go into the 125 lb. class and to match him the local 'Y" will try out Louis Pankoine. SteWhince will probably represent New Haven in the f35 ID. class with George Meli- sonis of New Britain trying his skill The 145 lb. class should prove 8 hummer with Settbacher from the Elm City. an old tried veteran. try ing conclusions with Charles Grant Of the local gym, who is new but very strong.
 Probably the most hair-rasins match of the evening will occur in the t55 h. class between V. Hof- richer of New Haven, who last year went into the state finals in a gruel- ing bout with the champion from Hartford and lost after a. hard tus- sle, and Thomas Hovenisian of New Britain. who two years ago while wrestling Wagner of Hartford f0 lbs. heavier, forced the champion 10 two overtime periods 10 win, should bring out all the cunning and skill when these two meet tomorrow night in one of he final bouts. Tommy has a world of strength and is q tough hombro on the match. He has that never say die spirit, but he will have to be at his best for Hofrichter has improved the past two years and IS sure to make it very interesting for the local grappler. Carl HasSelmark the local 165 lb. man, is practically new at the game and has had only one season on the mat, but in that time he has improved wonderfully. How he will fare against A. Hof- richter, the other brother, is a hard nut to crack. for the heavier Hof- richter is very clever with his pun ishing leg scissors
 Coach Milton Canzellanri is con- fident that his team will give a good account of itself. The bouts start at S:15 D. m. and will be held in the banquet hall of the Y. M. (. A.
