1t Is Frances Move

Whatever his real views may be, Gustave Nerves
letter from France to Herr Hitler German Fascist
leader, has provoked the latter to make public
statement embodying international craftsmanship
the highest order.
Hitler rejects the proposal to allow Germany to
regain an arms parity with France He says that
what should be done is for France to disarm rather
than for Germany to arm. He holds that it would
be bad for France and Germany to form an alliance.
Joint trust in the League of Nations would be far
preferable Finally, neither German armament
a Franco German alliance would be compatible with
the spirit of the Kellogg pact.
Having put her faith in guarantees. Germany
dsarmed and thus fell a victim to treatment the
equal of which can not be found in modern history"

friendship with all civilized nations but peace
tinuany is threatened by Frances attitude toward
Germany
II believe the maintenance of European peace IL
dependents on a real understanding between France
and Germany. based the principles of human
rights
If these observations are genuine then Hitler is
far better guide for European opinion than Tardieu

chance for France and the league to call the bluff
and force Hitler to show his real colors Certainly.

1t was found that people with
high blood pressure, hardening of

complained of general weakness did
not have a normal rise of blood
pressure on changing from lying po-
sition to standing position.
It is obvious, therefore, that peo-
pie with conditions of this sort must
be careful about sudden changes of
posture because of the possibility Of
shock due to the difficulty of adjust
ment to the postural change.
1t also was found that the use Of
certain drugs which have the spe-
cial ability of raising the tone Of
the blood vessels help to control this
condition and to aid the develop
ment Of more normal response.

The Telescope

MO other great advance IN
~ knowledge of the stars came
until invention Of the telescope.
tt was in 1910 that Calico
turned his little telescope upon The
heavens for the first time. Until
then no man had seen more OF the
heavens than is visible to the I'M
aided eye. Now it was possible Tor
man to scrutinize the heavens
through a powerful visual aid.
The size of the telescope was in
creased rapidly, and in 1850 The
second great landmark on Edding-
tons list, Riccioh discovered the
existence of double stars.
A double star really is two stars
close together, which, because OF
their immense distance from the
earth, appear to the unaided eye
as a single star.
The discovery of variable stars
and double stars are the only i'm
portant event prior to the begin
ming Of the nineteenth century, and
both Of these discoveries were the
simpler types, namely, the noting of
the existence of certain types Of
objects
It is not until the nineteenth
century that a beginning is made Of
the problem Of unraveling the mys-
teries of the stellar universe. The
first important step, the measure
ment of stellar distances came in
1889.
It, is interesting to note that the
last four Of Eddington's landmarks
all lie within the twentieth century.

A Human Marvel

Tonight in hundreds Of thousands Of homes pee

major results of the election few hours after the
polls close The information will come to them over
that mechanical marvel, the radio, but it is human
marvel that will make it possible for the radio to
transmit those returns-the newspaper.
The swift and accurate announcement Of election
returns is one Of the major achievements of journal
ism II would not be possible if American news
papers had not through the years built up a fast
clicking organization of intelligent and tireless desk
men and reporters, which, through long habit has
learned to find out what millions of voters have
decided two hours after they have spoken, one by
one in the election booth
From every city neighborhood and country cross
roads, returns flow in by countless telephone and
telegraph wires to the newspaper Offices. There the
returns are compared with records of past years If
a Republican stronghold is voting two to one for
the Democratic candidate, the fact is noted.
If city precincts are voting dry and rural pre-
cincts are voting wet, it means something BY such
comparisons and from his knowledge of the situation
the newspaper analyst soon is able to ascertain the
trend OF the election.
From the newspaper offices the compiled and
salvsed returns flow to the central Offices of the press
