CONTROL.
BATTLE OPENS
President Hoover 10 Held
Responsible for Ills
OF Nation

WASHINGTON, Aug. l9-tP1-
The battle for control Of COZ VreSs
was on in earnest today with lead
ing Spokesman of the republican
and democratic parties recording
their views of the general issues on
which the contests are to be decided
at the November elections.
Jouett Shouse, chairman OF the
democratic national executive COM
mittee, placed the democratic side
before the country in a radio ad-
dress last night, in which the ad-
ministration was charged with
errors both of omission and COM
mission. An immediate defense and
counter-attack "a issued IN a
statement to the press by John G..
TilSon OF Connecticut, republican
floor leader in the house. Robert H..
Lucas, executive director OF the
republican national committee al
ready was ON record with condem-
nation OF fhe democratic position.
Hoover Criticized
Shouse's attack conferred on the
tariff bin, farm relief and business
depression. President Hoover. In
the speech, was made TO shoulder
the responsibility with congress
for the form taken by the tariff
bill. He was singled out also for
individual criticism In connection
with the farm relief legislation
adopted and for failure TO check
in advance the depression which
set in last fall.
Tilson termed the democratic
speech IAN amazing collection OF
half truths, miSstatements, abuse
ani criticism"
Shouse, said Tilson, failed to
suggest a cure for q single thing
he criticized. Instead OF offering a
constructive program as his listen
ers had every right to expect him
TO do at this time. he presented the
regrettable spectacle Of the at least
verbal .leader Of a political party
literally gloating over the economic
distress OF the country"
The democratic leader asserted
the people OF the country ARE arts
ing to a political overthrow that
may assure the proportions Of a
cataclySm."
Republican Replies
Tilson replied that overthrow OF
the republican party would be a
"cataclysm" because the party had
"a definite, well considered adj
m~inistrative and legislative program
which it is carrying forward to
completion despite the determined
obstructive tactics Of the demo-
Gratis"
Shouse said farm products had
declined In price readily since
passage OF the farm act; he con-
trasted the Hoover 1928 campaign
speeches assuring continuation OF
prosperity under republican rule,
with the unemployment and de-
pressed business obtaining within
the rear. He blamed the president
for not warning against speculation
while secretary OF commerce and
president-elect. Conceding that af-
ter the crash Mr.. Hoover did per-
haps all any man could to try to
effect an adjustment of conditions"
Shouse observed that history Is apt

Not Quite So Certain

DR.. Robert A. Millikan, who surprised the scien-
tific world some time ago by discovering the exist
ence OF mysterious cosmic rays, now announces that
ne believes these rays can be put to work.
Finishing q summer devoted to the study Of these
rays. DR.. Millikan says that the rays can be used in
q new kind OF barometer, so that the science Of
weather forecasting can be extended.
1t Is interesting to think that this strange force
which was undreamed of a few years ago will shortly
be in harness as prosaically as any waterfall in a mill
town: but much more interesting are the attempts Of
various scientists to explain Just what these cosmic
rays may be.
DR.. Millikan believes that they come from the ire
mendouS energies expended in the creation Of matter
somewhere in the profound abyss Of space. He also
believes that the rays themselves are ether waves CT
frequencies g thousand times those of X-rays.
However, there are other scientists who believe that
the rays come, not from the creation Of matter, but
from the humiliation Of matter, probably in the CEN
tiers Of distant stars. Furthermore, they doubt that
they are ether waves at all, maintaining instead that
they are high speed ~electrons.
All Of this. Of course, is quite meaningless to most
OF us. It is beyond our capacity to get more than q
~glimmeding Of the nature Of these rays. If they can
be put to work in barometers. well and good; we shall
bother our heads no more with them
However, this conflict Of expert opinion is worth
thinking about. For il is quite clear that what has
happened j. simply this: science has stumbled upon
a new mystery and is not in the least clear in its
NAN~ "-Ne NN0 W'9NDS may 10 VI 4" may De TIC
cause OF It. There are some deep implications in that
situation.
Until comparatively recently, science has tended to
be dogmatic. 1t has worn an air of ponderous as
surance, and 1t has talked largely Of scientific
truths But IN late years, this dogmatism and this
assurance have begun to evaporate slightly. The
scientist who a few decades ago was quite confident
that the universe would soon be an open book is not
quite SO sure Of himself now. He is. quite ofter,
gently disagreeing with his colleagues.
" a result. this man-is-a-s oulles s-machine talk is
already beginning to sound a trifle out OF date. Sci
ence. in widening its own horizon. is widening the
horizon for the rest Of Us Certainly is not quite SO
easily come by. There is still room for speculation
and for wonder.

The city OF Cleveland recently took an admirably
sensible measure 10 ease the unemployment situation
Instead Of voting money for charity. the city council
voted a 100000 bond issue for the immediate COM
mencement Of certain public works. and 1000 men will
be given jobs as a result.
This is the sort OF unemployment relief that really
means something. When you give q hungry man a
bowl OF soup and a cup Of coffee you are relieving an
immediate need. but you're not solving the underlying
problem. What the man needs more than a meal is a
Job. No matter how much charity you dispense. you
haven't helped him very much unless you have made
his chances Of getting work brighter. That is why
this Cleveland plan deserves copying widely.

1t was sufficient to convince the
autocratic Mrs. Mitchell that her
dignity had been outraged. For
half an hour she lectured Celia on
the sancity OF the Mitchell name.
Celia heard 1t all demurely. At
last she was excused and went 70
her own room. No, 1t was not going
to be much fun 10 be home againI
Luncheon was dismal. Mrs. Nit
chell continued TO indicate disap-

retired to the library as soon as
she could excuse herself.
Martha found her there half an
hour later.

you, Miss Celia" the maid said.
