TIME text for today was found in
u the sixth verse of the tenth
chapter of the gospel, according to
st. Matthew: Go rather to the lost
sheep"
Although the United States is not
officially a Christian country, much
of our legislation and customs are
consciously based upon Christian
ethics.
1t is surprising, therefore, to note
one or two amazing gaps between
the religious rule and the secular
practice.
The quality of mercy so definitely
stressed in the teachings of Jesus
finds but slight reflection in our
criminal code. And within recent
years penalties have become much
more stringent.
In particular, I am thinking of
the idealistic Christian concept that
regeneration is always possible and
the popular new policy of life i'm
prisonment for the old offenders
as exemplified in measures such as
the BaumeS law in New York state.

Cells

THE film of cancer cells shows
Il two types of cells, the malig-
nant cells which form the cancer
and harmless wandering cells of q
type which are found throughout
the body and which are known as
microphages.
The film shows that the malig-
nant cells are larger and relatively
motionless. while the microphages,
which serve the body as protective
or scavenger cells, exhibit ceaseless
activity, moving or streaming in
various directions and absorbing
fragments of cells and foreign par
ticles as they move along.
The pictures were photographed
at rates varying from twenty -four
down to two a minute. When prof.
ected at the normal rate, this repre-
sents a speeding up of from 40 to 480
times. In other words, the film
shows in a few minutes the changes
which actually take place in a peri
Cd Of many hours.
The movie of sunset on the moon
shows similar speeding up.
Changes which occur on the moon
in 5ia hours are shown by the movie
in IL minutes.
1t thus is possible to see the
changes in appearance which occur
upon the mountain peaks and craft
erS Of the moon as the shadow Of
night creeps over them.
The film demonstrates that sunset
has a totally different effect upon
the moon from that upon the earth.
The moon possesses no atmosphere
and consequently the familiar phe-
nomena Of terrestrial sunset are
missing.

Speed

TINE new scientific movie is just
Il the opposite of the so-called
slow-motion picture. In the slow
motion picture, the camera is
speeded up so that many more pic
lures are taken a second than in the
normal filming of scene. Sixteen
per second is the normal rate.
AS a result, when the film IS pro-
jected at it's normal rate, all mo-
lions are slowed up, making 1t pos
sible to see in detail the blows Of a
prize fighter or the leg movements
of a race horse, or whatever the film
happens to show.
In the new scientific movies, the
camera is slowed down so that only
a few pictures are taken a minute,
in some cases, only one minute.
The movie then is run of at the
normal rate Of sixteen a second. AS
result, the film shows rapid
changes of great slowresS.

information on the physical factors
of cell activities and is disclosing
phenomena that were formerly I'M
known" according to DR.. George L.
Streeter, director of the institutions
department Of embryology.
Just as these microscopic objects
are too tiny to be studied with the
naked, eye and require magniflca-
ton, so the movements of their con-
stituent parts are too slow to be
seen directly and require visual
speeding-up in order to be detected.
THE motion picture films do this
for us. Cells that appear motion
less under the microscope, when
cinematicized can be seen exhibiting
active locomotiop and changes in
form. It is found that different
types Of cells have their own
characteristic movements and in
consequence we are provided with
new means of distinguishing
them"

World Is ShriVeIing

MOST people will dismiss the ef-
1V1 fort as either too far away to
merit attention, or too preposter-
Gus to take seriously.
Such people would do well to re-
member that the world is Shrivel-
ing, and that the same progress
which enables us to hear voices
across the widest ocean may bring
the effects of tumult in Asia to our
very doors.
Few guessed that the asSaSSina-
ton of Archduke Franz Ferdinand
meant the death of $4,000 Ameri-
can boys in France, but it did, and
one can only speculate as to what
this commotion in the Orient may
mean.
All things considered, it is hard
to escape the conclusion that the
Orient is not reacting to certain
impulses as whole.
One can make allowances for the
demoralizing effects of revolution in
China and the impotence due to
sect and schism in India, and still
realize that both countries are mo-
tivated not only by deep, but COM
mon feelings.
Regardless Of the varied tradi-
tons and experiences out of which
those feelings developed, they are
being brought into accord by a
single purpose. which is to break
away from occidental rule, or inter
ference,

ParSuaSiVe2

A N excellent case can be made
N for legislation of the Baumes
order. It's advocates may say reaS-
onably enough, "We are not melting
out punishment or vengeance or
anything of that sort. Our intent
is to protect society.
After all, when man is palpably
an habitual offender, there is no
sense in imprisoning him for a
while and then letting him out to
err again. When a man has COM
mitted four felonies, the chances
are that he will never reform or
be reformed. We must face the
fact that here is an enemy of
society.
He is incurable and society has
a right to step in and conf1ne him
in prison for life since there is no
possible way of turning such hard
ened offender into a good citizen"
With the logic of this I have no
quarrel. I also will admit that it
would be extremely difficult to ap-
ply every precept of Christ to the
conditions of modern life.
AS one who does not believe in
the complete inspiration of the
Bible, I will grant that certain
phrases from the book are couched
in the hyperbolic mood known to
the east and that some interpreta-
ton is permissible.
And even so I do not think that
the doctrine of the lost sheep and
its unique Importance is entirely a
fantastic version. Even though the
fourth offender is generally a hope
less case, a community is badly off
when it begins to harden its heart
against exceptions.

Yes and No

THE criminal instinct may be a
l. sort of ferment, having in it a
force useful to the world at large
if only it can be controlled and
directed into some socially useful
channel.
I think that many of the pioneers
of America and the explorers and
adventurers of the world had
kinship with a certain element in
the criminal class.
The restlessness which leads a
man across an unknown sea or be-
yond a chain of mountains may be
the same rebellion against con-

Patronage Power

Ordinarily when there is fight on the Presidents
appointments in the senate, and the appointments
finally are confirmed the President is credited with
victory.
In most instances this is true. Even in the nomi-
nations of Albert L. Watson of Pennsylvania and
Richard j. Hopkins of Kansas to be federal judges,
the President no doubt hoped for confirmation,
which he got
But the real fight was fought before the nomi-
nations were sent to the senate, and the Presi
dent lost. The patronage machine dictated the ap-
pointments and the patronage machine forced them
through the senate.
Hoover, in a letter to the Republicans OF Florida
last fall said the Presidents responsibility for ap-
pointment of men to public Office is lone of the most
sacred which he assumes"
"It is that he shall to the utmost of his capacity
appoint men who shall execute the laws .
with integrity and without fear favor political
collision"
He believed that mo longer shall public Office be
regarded political patronage but that it shall
be public service"
Attorney General Mitchell expressed similar views
about the time. He pointed out the vast in
fluence of the courts on government. He indicated
political influence in the future would not be allowed
to determine action. The department of justice, he
said. aided the President by examining the qualih-
cations OF persons suggested Tor appointment.
These views were praised widely, as they should
have been. But in this first out~and-out conflict be-
tween the power of patronage and the ideals ex-
pressM by Hoover and Mitchell, patronage triumphed
Mitchell expressed his opposition to both Watson
and Hopkins at the outset, the ground that they
not qualified. He forced to yield.
The Watson appointment dictated by the
Mellon-Fsher-G rundy machine of Pennsylvania and
Endorsed by William S. Ware. Hopkins was backed
by the Governor of Kansas the two senators and all
the representatives but one.
Opposition was based on his alleged lack of ability
and judicial temperament, and his acceptance of
pense money from the Anti-Saloon League for making
speeches while the bench.
There is no reason to suspect that the President
and the encouragement we're not thoroughly sin
cere. We believe they will keep on trying to carry
out their expressed ideals and we wish them better
luck next time.

Respect for the law almost seems a
sort of decadence.
Lest I be accused of encouraging
anybody to crime, let me hasten to
add that I have but paraphrased a
statement made by Dean Kirchway,
once head of Columbia law school.
Mr.. Kirchway later was warden at
Sing Sing and to this day he is
puzzled when some stranger on the
street greets him with a smile and
a bow. He never knows whether to
say. When were you graduated?"
or when did you get out?

Won in the Stretch

TINE history of greatness and
l. magnif1cence must give a vast
amount of space to the achieve
ments of those who came through
when the odds were all against
them.
Evolution itself, which is the very
backbone of modern scientific
thoughts, holds that progress comes
through departures from the nor
NAL. You will find a low percent
age of criminality among commune
ties which are settled and deeply
bedded down.
And in those same communities
you will find small amount Of
genius or significant achievement.

Value in Research by
World Scientists.
By DAVID DlETZ

TINE motion picture camera Is
Il becoming one of the chief tools
of the scientists. This was demon
strated here at the annual exhibit
ton of the Carnegie Institution Of
Washington, at which research work
Of various departments OF the insti-
tuition was demonstrated.
Motion pictures of two widely
separated phenomena. one that OF
a sunset on the moon. the otner
that of the malignant cells which
occur in cancer, were shown at the
exhibition.
These two serve to show the wide
elasticity of this new technique. In
making the movie of the moon, the
motion picture camera was attached
to the 100-inch telescope at Mt.
Wilson, Cal, the worlds largest tele-
scope. In making that Of the cancer
cells, it was attached to powerful
microscope.
The movie of the moon shows an
area of the moons surface equal to
that of the state of New Jersey.
The movie of cancer cells shows the
activity within drop Of fluid small
er than a rain-drop.
Movies made their initial bow to
the public as form of entertain
ment. Their chief commercial value
at present is, of course, the theat-
rical one. But it soon became APP
rarev,t that news reels would con-
stitute an invaluable historical rec
ord. This is particularly true OF
movies made at the front during
the Great war.
In the long run. however, the use
of the movie camera as an 1nStru-
ment of scientific research may
prove most valuable to mankind.

The first day was taken UP in
registering and preparing quar-

running like well-oiled piece OF
machinery. Under the able direc-
tion of Joseph Sweeney, the half
hundred carriers enjoyed the early
part of the evening participating
in numerous outdoor sports, fol-
lowed later by dips in the cool
ing waters of the Severn.
Each boy already has picked
his favorite among the camp Off

camp steward is more than a
cook, but a real pal, one after

ported that they we're all fit and
ready for the big week of sum-
