How long does the English parIia

How long does the English parlia-
ment stay in session?
The statutory limit of the dura-
ton of any parliament in England
is five years, after which time an
election must be held; but in prac-
tice elections in England usually
occur much more frequently, and
result from the government major
ity in parliament begin overturned.
The annual sessions of parliament
| formerly extended from the middle
of February to about the middle Of
August, and only occasionally later,
but since 1914 the sittingS have been
! interrupted only by comparatively
short intervals. Every session must
end with a propagation, and all bills
which have not been passed during
the session then lapse A diSsolu-
ton of parliament and a new cleo
/ ton may occur by will of the SOW
erign, or as its most usual, during
the recess, by proclamation, or
finally by the lapse of five years
time.
Did Charlotte King, who sings the
leading female role in the movie

She had about eight years stage
experience before she was assigned

What are the five largest zoos in
the United States, and the largest in
the world?
The largest geological park in the
world is in London, England. The
second largest is in the Bronx, New
York. The five next largest in the
United States are in st. Louis, Mo;
Boston, Mass: Philadelphia, Pa.
and the National Geological park.

How is the telechron clock oper-
ated?
The motive power is a small self
starting motor running in exact
synchronization with a central sta
ton A. G. generator. A telechron
will not operate on direct current,
nor will it keep correct time on an
unregulated alternating current serv-
ice, but many power companies are
holding their frequency so close that
the instantaneous error is never
great. Telechrons are connected to
| electric outlets in exactly the same
manner as any other electric de-
vice.

Alcoholic Content of Human Rights

Whatever ones views on prohibition there can be
no doubt that the administration of the present Sys-
tenn has produced marked invasionS Of what have
been regarded as basic rights of the American citizen
Killings by prohibition officers have become no
torious 1t has been remarked rightly that in some
sections the possession of bottle of beer apparently
is a more serious crime than homicide. Not a few
cIergymen and prohibition enthusiasts have demanded
the death penalty for violation of the eighteenth
amendment and its supporting legislation.
The Bansey case in Iowa called our attention
sharply to the manner in which the enforcement OF
prohibition may invade the security Of the home
against forcble and illegal search.
These invasons rarely drop suddenly from the blue
sky Partial presidents and warnings of what may
come usually can be found by the alert student of
history The special position of alcohol in voiding
the proud claim that mans house is his castle may
be detected in previous legal relations with the
American Indians.
For example, the constitution Of the Choctaw ma
ton of Oklahoma drafted in 1860 with the approval of
federal authorities makes the following provision
to immunity from Illegal search rticle l. Section 100:
1.-THE people shall be in their persons houses

and searches and warrant TO search any place or
to seize any person thing shall issue, without de-

That is the language of the fourth amendment.

Influenza Isolation Is Hard Task

During the 1918 epidemic,
volunteers were inoculated with
thirteen different strains of Or
ganisms isolated from cases of in
f1uenza. All developed symptoms,
but again it was shown that these
symptoms were not the typical of
epidemic influenza.
Indeed, after surveying all OF
evidence of innumerable inocula-
tions with all sorts of organisms
taken from the nose and Threats Of
people during epidemics, Professor
E. o. Jordan concludes that it can
not be definitely asserted that
negative incubation experiments
are not in themselves sufficient to
rule out Pfeiffer's organism as the
cause, since it is quite possible that
there are some unknown factors
influencing the likelihood of per-
son to catch influenza or associated
with the way in which the organism
transferred from one person to
another.
After death from influenza. no
uniformity of kind or distribution of
bacteria can be detected in the

which they bring about disease.
During the last great epidemic
of 1918, organisms were recovered
from thousands of cases all over the
world, and there is no evidence that
uniformity exists, even in the many
tyues of organisms associated with
that epidemic.
In attempts to discover and def
nitely to identify the influenza germ,
experiments have been made with
human beings who voluntarily sub
mitted themselves to incubation
with pure cultures of the various
germs that have been isolated.
The earliest definite report of sue
ceSsful human incubation with pure
culture of the Pfeiffer organism is
that recorded by DR.. D. j. Davis in
Chicago in 1906,
However. Doctor Davis pointed
out at the time that while the
Pfeiffer germ may produce definite
symptoms on incubation into
human beings, the symptoms pro-
duced are not those of true in

Caution

TINE psychologists, however, are
i urging the physicists not to
take Heisenberg's law of uncertainty
with quite so much gloom and
solemnity.
Prof. Albert P. Weiss, psychologist
of Ohio State University, takes the
point of view that the inability of
physicist to measure the position
Of an electron does not necessarily
mean that the electron does not
have a position. The average lay
man. of course, will side with Prof.
Weiss in this.
Theoretical physics is the prod
uct of human interaction, it is not
reality beyond human behavior"
Prof. Weiss says.
He also cautions the necessity OF
physicists remembering that their
experiments have to be stated in
terms Of human perception.
1.-THE physical properties which
are assigned to an electron depend
on the physical, anatomical and
physiological, properties of the
physicist. He can not assign. props
critics that do not act upon his
sense organs.
This means that one limitation
of the physicists definition of an
electron is determined by his own
sensori-motor structure and func-
ton.
I'm this sense, the electron is the
verbal invention, of some physicist.
This brings us into psychology"
And this, Prof. Weiss points out,
is reason for the physicist to move
cautiously in making generaliza-
tons.
There is very little agreement
among. the psychologists themselves
as to what is to be included under
such terms as knowledge, conscious
ne, aSWareness. etc" he saws.

EIeCtron

A CCORDING to the atomic the
IA DRY, everything in the physical
universe-the stars, the sun and
earth, our own bodies-is composed
of atoms which in turn are COM
posed of electronS.
Modern physical experiments are
such that it is possible to meas
ure either the velocity or the posi-
ton of an electron, but it is inn
possible to measure both. Conse-
quently, it is impossible to predict
what any individual electron viii
do next. This is known as the
Heisenberg law of uncertainty.
Professor P. w. Bridgman OF
Harvard and many other physicists
interpret this to mean that the ma
ture of reality is such that an cleo
iron can not possess position and
velocity simultaneously.
Their point of view, difficult for
the layman to grasp, is that moth
ing exists unless it can be measured.
They insist that it never will be pos
sible to make measurements upon
which the behavior of an electron
can be predicted, and since all
physical phenomena start with cleo
tronic behavior, they hold that the
law of cause and effect does not OPP
crate in this fundamental field.
Professor Bridgman writes: 1.-THE
same situation confronts the phys
icist everywhere; whenever he pene-
trates to the atomic or electronic
levels in his analysis he finds things
acting in a way for which he can
assign a cause, and for which the
concept of cause has no meaning,
if Heisenberg's principle is right.
"This means nothing more or less
than that the law Of cause and ef-
feet must be given up"

The discussion over the existence
of free will and the operation OF
fate is as old as civilization. 1t Is
to be found in all early cultures.
With the last fifty years there
has been a greater and greater
tendency to ascribe the workings OF
the whole universe to the operation
OF the law OF cause and effect.
At the close Of the last century.
for example, certain scientists were
so sure that the law operated at all
times and in all circumstances that
they insisted that everything hap
pening on the earth-including, OF
course, all human activity-hao
been fore ordained when the mate
rial composing the earth was still a
part of the white hot gases In the
outer atmosphere of the sun.
But lately, a number of phys
icistS, baSing their opinion on the
Heisenberg law of uncertainty, have
taken an opposite view. They 50
so far as to insist that the law Of
cause and effect does not operate at
all and that what we have i'm
agined to be evidences Of the law
are merely statistical averages OF
minute unpredictable phenomena.

Alexander Hamilton once esti-
mated that the labor Of four per-
sons was sufficient to provide 100
with the sheer necessities of life.
In spite Of machinery and mass
production, that ratio probably re-
mains true. since the number of
necessities has increased greatly.
But the important point is that
necessities never did and never will
provide general employment.
More than that, they never did
and never will provide for progress
When you come to think of it, the

only carried the world forward, but
