TRANSMISSION Has Many Uses in Surgery

the blood of one person into the
body of another. In an earlier day
it was common to sew the vein Of
one person to the artery Of another
and to permit the blood to run
from one to the other.
Then there were developed Sys-
TENS of connecting the vein of one
person to the artery of the other
by means Of glass and rubber tubes.
More recently the simplest meth
cd is to draw the blood out Of the
vein of one person with a specially
prepared needle and syringe and
then to transfer the syringe to a
needle put into the vein OF the per-
son who IS going to receive the
blood and to permit it to flow into
his veins in that manner.
There are other instances in
which it is not necessary or per-
hapS even desirable to put the
blood directly into the vein.
In such cases injections Of blood
may be made into the muscles or
sometimes into the abdominal cav
..ty and the ability of the blood for
resisting disease in this way trans
ferred to the person who needs 1t.

CIVILIZATION began when men
~ began to realize the existence
of laws in nature.
AS has been pointed out, every
machine and every engine now in
existence depends upon Newton S
laws of motion. If modern en-
gineers were robbed of their under
standing Of these laws, it would be
impossible to build an auto or an
airplane or a steam engine that
would work.
Newton's laws of motion were a
restatement of Galileo's laws Of mo-
ton. And Calico, in turn, evolved
his laws from a consideration of
another set of laws known as KEEP
ler's laws.
Kepler's laws we're a series OF
observations concerning the motions
of the planets around the sun. So
once again the trail has taken to
the skies.
It is interesting to speculate what
the stage of civilization would be
COudy Adu Glle SKY always UGSLl
yelled in thick clouds which hid the
sun, the moon, the planets and the
stars perpetually from the sight of
man.
Many authorities think that if
such had been the case, mankind
still would be in the Stone Age,
beset by the hardshipS and the
superstitions of that day.
Certainly scientific progress would
have been set back a century or
two. We would not have our pres
ent understanding of the laws of
nature, and as a result we would not
have our present civilization, founded
upon the progress of science.

MUCH of the agitation for the
1V1 release Of Mooney and Billings
has been carried on by the socialist
party. To large extent, radicals
have kept alive the memory that
such men were buried in Cali
fornia prison.
But it should not be said and it
can not be said that the present
drive for beIated justice is party
issue. At least, that may not be
said unless all factions outside the
Socialist ranks are willing to waive
claim to honesty and fair dealing.
would rise to no such accusation.
I have known honest reactionaries,
plenty of them, and once met a
smart one. And there can be
crooked radicals.
Among the ultra conservatives ]
have not had the privilege of track
ing down much brilliance and their
chief error in judgment lies in the
manner in which they. pass by
issues which should be their own
and freely hand them to groups
more radical.
In the case of Mooney and Bill
ings, for instance, it is fantastic
that complaint should have come,
in the early days at least, only from
liberals and radicals.
It is the conservative who insists
that the present structure is COM
petent to bring about all the ideals
of mankind. And so if cog slips
here and there he should be the one
to worry. After all, it is his
machine.

SCIENCE
BY DAVID DIETZ-
Civilization Began When Men
Began to Realize the Er-
iStence of La10s in Nature.

TINE sun furnished the sinews OF
Il modem civilization. The mod
ern age is machine age and ma
chimes can not run without power.
Coal and oil are the fossil remains
of plants and microscopic animals
Of millions Of years ago. Those an
Client plants grew, just as present.
day plants grow, with the energy
Of sunlight.
But the sun is also responsible in
another way for modern civilization.
Modern civilization is based on
the findings of science. Science be-
gan with astronomy. And astronomy
began with the sun.
Most authorities feel that the first
astronomical observations were
made by the cavenan.
Night was time of terror for the
Glacial Age. At night, the forests
we're alive with the glowing eyes of
prowling beasts. The caveman hud-
died around the little fires at the
mouths of their caves at night.
But when the first red streaks CT
dawn lit up the eastern sky, the
prowling beasts disappeared and the
caveman felt free to wander forth
in search Of food and adventure.
So the caveman learned to watch
the sun. And in doing SO, he be-
came the worlds first astronomer.

IAMN(VER$ARYI
ASTOR'S BIRTH
July IL

NN July II, 1864, John Jacob AS
~ tor, American capitalist, in
ventor and soldier, was born at
Rhinebeck, N. Y.
Following his graduation from
Harvard in 1888, Astor travelled ex-
tensively and afterward devoted his
time in the managing of the Aston
estates.
In 1897 he built the Astoria hotel,
New York, adjoining the Waldorf
hotel, which was built by William
Waldorf Astor, his cousin, the two
forming one building under the
name Of Waldorf Astoria hotel, at
the date of completion one of the
largest and most costly hotels in
the world.
The structure was RACED recently
to make way for a modern sky
scraper.
During the Spanish American
war Astor served as staff officer in
the Santiago campaign and pre-
sented the government a fully
equipped mountain battery, which
was named for him and which did
effective work in the campaign be-
fore Manila.
Aston became known as an in
ventor of several useful devices,
such as the bicycle brake and a tur-
bine engine. He was drowned
when the Titanic sank in 1912.

ants. Only it didn't happen to be
true. The two chief witnesses have
admitted perjury.
In the light of this record I fail
to see why men of every stripe of
political opinion and persons in all
ranks of economic life should not
join in protest.
I am not rabid enough in any
faith or sufficiently cynical about
people in general to believe that any
large number of Americans want to
see innocent men suffer life i'm
priSonment.
I'm afraid that a few do. Here
and there, even in editorial columns,
I have come across the amazing
doctrine, Served them right
whether they did it or not"
!. Yet even in these cases I am will
ing to believe that the expression
is the careless thought of some
editor too rushed to have time for
pity or for justice.
AS matter of fact, let's leave
pity out. Perhaps it adds insult
to injury to put an innocent man in
jail for a dozen years and then free
him through pity. Justice will cover
the case, though by this time even
justice is a sorry nag long time
on the road.
In fact, the issue of public JUS
tice has seldom been more plainly
and more sharply drawn. If men
can be sent away for life by pro-
cured and perjured testimony, which
one of us is safe?
If an cutlery against this sort of
justice constitutes radicalisn, what
honest man dare stand up and call
himself conservative?
I say get Mooney and Billings out
and talk of party labels later.

War Still in Saddle

XXTE are rot losing our appetite
w for dissension, though some
people seem to think so. Seventy
per cent of all money collected by
the United States government out
side the postoff1ce department still
goes to the war god, either through
preparation for what may occur, or
paying the bill for what has oc-
Cured.
Let the politicians alone, and be-
fore we get through paying for
what has occurred, We'll be in the
middle Of what may occur.
Perhaps, If we devoted some OF
our scientific knowledge to human
relationship. we would have less to
worry about in the economic field.
1t is not impossible that some OF
our troubles are Que to too much
progress in one direction, and not
enough in others.

Sunrise

TINE caveman learned to watch
IL for the sunrise and the sunset.
The red glow in the eastern sky
heralded the beginning of day. The
red glow in the western sky her
aided the end of the day.
He learned to associate the prog
res5 of the sun across the sky with
the hours of precious sunlight which
remained. He learned to know that
when the sun was mounting the
sky, it was safe to wander far from
the cave.
But when the sun began to sink
toward the west, it was high time
to hurry back to the friendly shell
ter of the cave.
Here was the start of observa-
tional astronomy. At some later
date, but a date still preceding the
opening record of history, mankind
learned to identify the suns mo-
tons with the seasons.
Man learned to mark the noon
day position of the sun and to note
that it differed from day to day. He
learned that the sun was low in the
sky at noon in winter and high in
the sky at noon in summer. From
the motions of the sun he learned
to mark the beginnings of the sea-
sons.
Many Of the ancient temple build
ings and monuments, for example,
the stone monuments of the Maya
Indians, were astronomical mark
ers. The Maya Indians set up nonu-
ments so that when the rising sun
was in line with certain ones of
them, the beginning of spring had
arrived.
Until astronomers got under way,
nature was all caprice to the early
men. Their religious and supersti-
tons show it. Rivers and trees and
stones were inbued with spirits
whose actions were always the re-
suit of caprice.
But the observations Of astron-
ony showed the existence of natu-
raj law.

ForSake Old Ways

TIMES change, not only because
Il we learn new ways, but be-
cause We forsake old ones.
What is more, times are going to
change with ever-increasing ra-
pidity.
An English scientist predicts a
day when we won't even bother to
grow food on the farm or dig fuel
from a mine, but will extract them
from the air or water.
Chemistry, he says, has demon
strated the possibility of reducing
carbonic acid gas to tar, and then
extracting benzine, and of taking
our nitrogen straight, instead of
through a beefsteak or lamb chop.
What a wonderful day it will be
when human existence involves no
greater effort than to press buttons
and swallow pills.

Politics to STAY

DUT cheer upl No matter how
- successful we may be in solving
the economic problems, we still shall
have politics with us-politics in the
form of whoopee, intrigue, and war.
Nor should We look upon this as
an unmixed evil
We must have something to argue
about and guess at, and science
promises to leave us nothing outside
the field of politics.
1t not only visualizes an era Of
synthetic food and synthetic fuel,
but synthetic morality and synthetic
religion.
What a drab, uninteresting place
the world would be after the old
fashioned home, the barnyard, and
God had been scrapped, if we
couldn't turn to politics.
But we can and we will.

Weight of Error

DANIC-STRICKEN cries have
L arisen whenever anybody in any
camp has called for a new attitude
toward the judiciary. Theodore
Roosevelt, himself, became a car
mine red to many eyes as soon as
he declared in favor Of the recall
of judicial decisions.
It is logical for every ardent sup
porter of the status quo to strive for
the protection of the courts. But
he is not quite bright if he fails to
see that sweeping constitutional
amendment is not the only method
by which the power and the prestige
of courts may be curtailed. The
bench can fall Of its own weight Of
error.
Throughout the country, people
are losing faith in judicial processes,
not necessarily because they oppose
the system, but because of the
manifold examples of stupidity or
worse.
I'm going to speak at Socialist
rally tonight in favor of long-de-
layed justice being done to Billings
and Mooney. really ought to cede
my place on the program to some
one who could talk with more COM
petence and more authority.
1t is up to the Wickershams and
Roots to leap into the breach.
After all. it is the California su-
preme court which has set up a
new and extremely radical heresy
in the decision which it reached
after reviewing the Mooney and
Billings case.
In effect, the court has declared
that if Mooney and Billings did not
explode the bomb at the Prepared
ness parade at least they might
have done it or known something
about it.
It seems strange to think Of the
fact that the two convicted men
were not affiliated with any Of the

What of the Coal Man2

A CCORDING to Secretary Of La
IA Dor Davis, the coal man is in
worse shape than the farmer, but
one hears no voice proposing in
creased consumption as a remedy.
Instead, we are causing two fill
ing stations to grow where one grew
before. putting in oil burners. and
blessing the age of heat without
ashes.
Progress is not a one-way street
If it creates new industries, it de-
stroys old ones.
If We eat less bread, it is not be-
cause we are going hungry, but be-
cause we have acquired a taste for
fruit and vegetables.
1t is easy to understand what the
automobile did to the village slnithy,
because we can see it as we ride.
1t is not SO easy to understand
what tin cans, refrigeration, and the
diet craze have done to the dinner
table, bit they have done quite as
much, Il not more.

nNE of the most dramatic pro-
W cedures known to modern
medicine, particularly from the
point of view Of the average man,
is the transferring of blood from
one person to another.
The idea first was suggested and
tried in 1867 by a French physician.
However, very little was done with
it until it was revived in London
between 1918 and 1924 and again in
Germany between 1860 and 1880.
Only recently has it been discov-
cred that the reason for fatalities in
these early attempts was the exist
ence of factors in the blood of one
person which reacted unfavorably
on the blood of another person so
as to coagulate the blood or to
break up the blood cells.
AS a result of modern methods of
investigation, these factors have
been recognized and stand ardized.
Thus it is possible to make tests
upon Thea person and to select per-

A Bigger Nuisance

Views of postmasters plan of distributing I'M
addressed circulars to every person in any city by
letter carriers have been sought by the third assistant
postmaster general BY this plan mail carriers in
Indianapolis and other cities would become distributors
of advertising dodgers all over the town
The cluttering up of the mails with unsolicited cir
culars already nuisance resented by many persons
but this plan if put into effect would be more than
nuisance; it would be unbearable affront.
This is no proper postoface function. The service
now is burdened with flood of addressed circulars 80
cent of which unwelcome to those who receive
them. The mere manual labor of sorting them out of
the legitimate mail and casting them into the waste
basket is costly of time and money in every big
business house.
Bulk Of this circular mail also slows up the mail
service and causes constant annoyance from delays.
Important letters frequently are held up for hours
Instead of seeking ways to annoy it's patrons the
postofhce department would better put restrictions
on the type of matter now carried first class.
There should be some way whereby bona f1de letter
mail would be given preference in delivery over
printed or mimeographed circulars.
At any rate, even if it has legal right to do so,
the postofdce department should not become whole
sale circular distributing agency.
