vent of colonization that laid the foundations of a new
world, so can one look forward beyond these flights Of
the Zeppelin and discern in vision a vast revolution in
travel and transportation that is to come in the medium
of the air from these initial world feats of the ~dirigible.
Besides the airship. we have the airplane and its future
possibilities to reinforce this vision.
Captain Hugo Eckener becomes an even more out
standing figure of technical history by this latest flight.
He rivals, in fact, all the great admirals of the water
whom history has produced-a Columbus, a Drake. a
Hudson, a Magellan, a Frobisher-with but a small! COM
pany in his own element to rival him in achievement,
such as Count Zeppelin and the Wrights and Lindbergh,
who are the supreme heroes of modern acronautical
pioneering.

In the early sos Edison sealed a plate in an electric
lamp and discovered that a current could be made to
bridge the empty space between glowing filament and
plate. Now we know that the stream was composed of
countless clectrons and that Edison had invented what
we call an electron tube. He patented his tube but
never applied it. If any Gradgrind wants to know what
Is the good Of scientific research conducted with no
commercial end in view. he has but to study the sub
sequent history of electronS.
Ambrose Fleming, long Marconis chief engineer, was the
first to apply electrons in wireless to detect electro
magnetic signals. De Forest was inspired to begin a series
Of experiments that ended in the three electrode valve.
which enabled the physicist to control streaming cleo
irons and to open the way for broadcasting and television.
So numerous are the applications Of electron tubes
that the periodical Electronics, the first issue of which
now appears, had to be founded to record and discuss
them. No image, no photograph can be transmitted
electrically at commercial speeds without an electron
tube. The latest skyscraper elevator levels itself auto
matically with the aid of electrons as it stops at a floor.
A Watchful electronic eye WinkS to a stationary engineer
that too much smoke is pouring from his stack. A skilled
m1ll-hand electron.t lily listens for nails in logs, so that
veneer-cutting saws may not be irreparably damaged.
II the motion picture film now talks and sings, it is be-
cause the electron has given it a tongue. Remove the
elcctron tube from the flying field and 20 pilot would
dare land in a fog. Measure the infinitcsimal light and
heat sent to us by stars that we see by the radiance
that left them when dinosaurs shook the earth ard we
must apply the electron. If we search the earth for hid
den OIL and minerals, we are sure to incorporate an cleo
iron tube IN our prospecting apparatus.
Edison invented not only the carbon bulb but unwit-
tingly gave the world an Aladdin's lamp. De Forest
sees in 1t the means of sending electricity over still
vaster distances. 1t Is no longer necessary to move large
masses when electric power is to be rotated, switched
or modified; for, as DR.. Whitney puts it, "electronics
seem to separate mass or weight 50 . " from its cleo
trical properties, so that " " " we may leave the mass
fixed and just move. direct. put the brakes on, or stop
the electricity itself" The successors of Edison did more
than pass his lamp like a torch from hand to hand.
They utterly changed the lamp. Its light is more use
have become all-important. AS Whitney puts it: Hay
ing seen our bones fr the X-ray tube is an electronic
device; we ought now to see what more we can see. !"
He and other pioneers sec so much that they dare not

Editorial Comment
Night Air
(Des MoineS Tribune-CaDita

(Des Moines Tribune-CapitaD
Sporting News, the baseball weekly, commenting on
night baseball. says that some physicians call might air
not as good for the human as the air of the day."
That Is the first time that notion has got into print
since grandmother was a child.
AS a matter Of fact the idea that night air is bad air
Is an old wives tale. Physicians have always said just
the opposite.
We can all remember when we were warned against
playing out after dark, and urged to get out early in the
morning to get the good air. AS a matter of fact the
night air is far better than that in the morning, which
has not had the benefit of purifying sunlight for hours.
The night air Is different, it is a little cooler and per-
haps occasionally danper than day air. But it has been
run through and through with the best purifier there is:
sunshine.
The origin Of this legend is difficult. Perhaps it was
a scheme to get children in at night, so they would not be
out after dark. Night air is bad for people because they
often do things after dark they would not do in daytime.
The night has always been associated with dark deeds.
And those who prey upon people walk at night. From
this 1t was only a step to "the good morning air." which
seems good only because we have been rested and feel
like jumping around a bit. 1t is all subjective.
It is time to end this notion once and for all. Night
air must not be malgned any longer.

Today Is the
Anniversary of
r

On June 9, 1881, George Stephen.
son, English engineer and inventor,
and the founder of railways" was
born at Wylan. England.
An ambitious boy, Stephenson was
too poor to go to school. He worked
on a farm and then, at the age of II,
became fireman and brakeman. He
heard that the engines of Watt and
Boulton were to be found described in
books, so he went to night school in
order to learn the elements of Eng
lish and mathematics.
In 1912 Stephenson became engine
wright at Killingworth, where he be-
gan his own experiments with the en-
CINE. While others had shown the
practically of fixed steam engines,
no one had devised a means for i'm
parting speed. After three years of
experimenting Stephenson, in con-
junction with Dodds, took out a pat
ent for an improved engine which
more than doubled the speed of the
engines then existing.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Heart Operation

Question: Mrs. j. B. asks: "Will
you please tell me If a narrowed heart
valve can be operated upon? I have
heard that these operations have been
performed and have been successful.
How long would it take one to recov-
er from such an operation?"
Answer: I have heard Of a few in.
stances where such operations have
been performed, but have not beer
able to find where any good results
have been permanent. The best
treatment I know of is one where the
blood is made less toxic through a
corrective dietary. The heart valves
tend to relax as the blood becomes
more pure and there is less irritation.
Eats Dirt
Question: Mrs. K. writes: Il have
a craving for freshly plowed dirt. I
would like to know if there is some
thing lacking in my food. I can't
eat the dirt for it makes me sick.
Nothing seems to satisfy me. I al
ways have a hard lump come up in
my throat whenever I smell fresh
dirt"
Answer: Try a diet composed en-.
tirely Of uncooked vegetables and
fruits. Such a diet will give you
plenty Of organic minerals which
your system may be craving. If this
does not satisfy you after two or three
weeks I would advise you to consult
a psychoanalyst or psychologist, who
may be able to explain to you the
cause of your unnatural craving.
Cramps
Question: F. M. I. asks: What is
the cause of getting cramps in the
toes and calf of leg? What can be
done for it?"
Answer: Cramps in the toes and
calf Of leg may come from taking too
much exercise or from wearing i'm
properly fitted shoes.

From her point OF view. his

him. But she didn't know. SO
she slept. while Alan and Natalie,
each longing for the other. tossed
and turned and suffered.
The next day Alan went with
her to look at the apartment. He
felt he had been untrue to her
by thinking so much OF Natalie.
He wanted to make it up. The
rather high rental OF the apart.
ment did not give him a mo-
ment's pause. He was glad Phil.
lipa was to have such a really
charming abode.
And he agreed. without being
aware of how Phillipa had man

Phillipa realized that her refer.
