Retirement SyStemf for Infirm

Recent collapse Of an old roOming house in the Greenwich
village section of New York city costing the lives OF live
persons brings the interesting suggestion that American cities
nav have 10 work out retirement systems for nfrm buildings
a safeguard against collapse and unssnitary conditions
One mans idea is that Of buildings should have
10 pay regularly into insurance or pension fund that would
recire their removal when their safety and usefulness had
passed.
Here in Washington we have $1,000 people living in alley
budnry large numbers Of which disease breeders and in
constant danger Of collapse Congress has been able
work out plan rid this city Of these structures and Of
the methods Of living they force upon human beings
II rather interesting idea that Of buildings
aould nav into funds for retirement Of old buildings Il Is
far more interesting and humane thought that this nation
should bring about some plan for the retirement of infrm

citizens are young they contribute to this pension system for

raphy, entitled Successes In My
Practice"
Cardan was a man of excep-
tional versatility and wrote on
many different subjects. He
lists scores of books he mad
written, on medicine and philos-
ophy. on mathematics and as.
stronomy, on art and literature,
on the immortality of the soul
and on games of chance.
He was an inveterate gambler
for the greater part of his
life, and lost an uncalculated
amount at play. In an intro
duction to "The Book of My
Life" Jean Stoner says, Car
dams busy brain produced
enough to fill 1000 pages Of
folio With the exception
of a few treatises in the YER
nacular, the entire body of his
literary work Is in Latin.
Many of his books ran through
six or seven editions"
For eight years Cardan oc-
cupied the chair of medicine
at the University of Bologna.
For a time he gave public lee
lures on mathematics at Milan;
and later he was called to a
professorshfp at the University
Of Pavia. His great work was
entitled ArS Magma: and was
a comprehensive algebra, EN-
bodyii1g a great mass Of use
full processes and formulas.
Certain special types Of the
cubic equation had been solved
In Cardan'S epoch, notably one
by Scipione del Ferro and an.
other by Nicola Tartaglia. Car.
dan was inquisitive about Tar
taglia'S claim to discovering q
method for solving the general
cubic equation; and finally en-
veigled Tartaglia into explain
Ing 1t to him.
In 1545, Cardan published
this method in his Ars Magma,
without mention of Tartaglia.
Cardan has his defenders, how.
ever: and his publication was
said to have been in the In.
tereSt Of science, since Tartag-
liza was very Secretive and
would not have given his dis
covery to the world.
Cardan, for all his ability,
was not q little of q scoundrel:
and his piratical conduct would
find no Justification today. But
it cannot be denied that In
that age the publication Of
scientific results, whatever the
attribution Of discovery, greatly
furthered the development and
progress Of science.

"A Great Mathematician
BIZ Archibald Henderson

One Of the conspicuous fig
ures in the history of science
and In the field of biography is
Girolamo Cardano, whom we
call Cardan. Although a mathe-
matician of eminence. Cardan
reaped unjustly the credit, due
to another, for discovering a
solution Of the general cubic
equation. In the histories Of
mathematics, 1t is still custo-
mary to speak of this solution
as Cardan's although it seems
clear that he acquired it from
Tartaglia and then, with bare
faced effrontery, published 1t
as his own.
The second exceptional dis
tinction attached to Cardan is
associated with the art Of biog-
raphy. His work, a sort Of
autobiography, De Vita Propria
Liber, is ais fascinating as a
novel, and may be accepted as
q landmark in that field.
This book is a remarkable
specimen of self-analysis; it is
the, product of brain Of the
first order engaged in eXamin-
Ing itself and its functions. Gar
rulous, discursive, Cardan never.
theless gives a clear and indeli-
bic picture Of himself, which
made q profound impression
upon his age and gained a per-
rnanent place for itself in litera-
ture.
Cardan was born at Pavia,
Italy. in 1901. Like Celltni, the
Florentine, Cardan lived a life
Of adventure, full Of exciting
incident and disgraceful cpl
sodes.
Both rendered themselves i'm.
mortal by writing extraordinary
autobiographies; and both lived
beyond the age of 20, lives rich
IN contributions to both art and
science.

quainted with the works of Eu-
cid, and was a great student.

Another Slant Given
On Wives at Work


Editor Times:
Reading the many editorials
in The Times on the uuem-
ployed situation and to the
several suggestions given, I beg
to add another. The sugges-
ton given was to weed out
the married women in the Gov
eminent departments. I think
this would be a good move in
more than one way.
First, it would give self sup
porting girls, many Of them
having dependents to help, sup
port, also 1t would give widows
who have qualified for clerical
positions and others who are
only too willing to take any
position that would enable
them to support themselves
and their families work.
The only drawback to the
suggestion of wedding out the
married women would be that
the married woman who is only
drawing a small salary would
be dismissed while the one
whose husband is drawing a
large salary would be kept
