n. NJ. U.
Editorial Note: c Omr d e
Groves does well to sound call
for more action in the building
and strengthening of the Ma
tional Miners Union. The critical
growth of our revolutionary
unions is marked by a altogether
too-great discrepancy between
the real organization strength
they can muster, and the cling
ing nebue of sympathizers, sup
porters, that do not lend other
than verbal aid.
While calling upon the n. M. I.
functionaries and rank and file
members to buckle down 10 the
tasks confronting them, Comrade
Groves must not forget the tasks
that devolve upon him as Secre-
tary of the Illinois district of the
n. NJ. U. and of the entire
n. NJ. U. leadership. The task
of seeing that each and every
functionar and member carries
out the duties and work assigned
him, the ceaseless follow up of
day to day work, exposing weak
nesses and correct them immedi'
ately, rOOtingout oppOrtunist ele-
ments that cannot or do not wish
to follow the fighting program OF
the N. NJ. u, etc. etc.
Faced with mass starvation, be-
trayed by the Howatts, Fishwicks
and Farringtons, having only
their own National Miners Union
and the Communist Party to lead
them, the miners must throw
themselves into the work of or
ganizing the National Miners
Union, as they have never done
before. Only fierce class struggles
against the mine operators and
their agents in the workers ranks,
can save the miners and their
families from slow starvation and
increasing misery. On to the Ma

The Service of Science
By Archibald Henderson

it be not too expensive, some
clever contrivance or bright
gadget, which will save five min
utes Of time or prove more con-
venient than anything we now
have for enabling us to do the
days work.
From time to time. alarmists
arise to sound a note of warn
ing concerning the extraordinary
advances of science. Bertrand
Russell voices the fear that
science will be used to promote
the power of dominant groups"
A confederation of nations may
buy up the new secrets for the
creation Of new death-dealing
instruments of destruction:
guns, explosives, poison gases,
meteorological disease germs
for poisoning enemies wholesale.
An irresponsible scientist may
sometimes hold in his hand the
power Of life and death over
millions. The menace seems
appalling. and not wholly un-
real.
Scientists, it need scarcely be
retorted, have always been the
benefactors of mankind. Scien-
tific discoveries are either scrap
ped, forgotten, or else placed
at the service of the race.
While it is true that science
has actually multiplied the
tools of destruction, Millikan
has recently pointed out that
every scientific advance "finds
ten times as many new, peace
full and constructive uses as it
finds destructive Ones As he
so well says: "Steel does in
deed make bayonets, but it also
makes plowshares and railroads
and automobiles and sewing
machines and threshers and a
thousand other things whose
uses constitute the strongest
existing diverter of human en-
ergies from the destructive to
the peaceful arts"

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. Louis E. Bisch-

by Dr. Louis T.. blSch-|
Infant mortality has steadily
been reduced but not maternal
mortality!
Is this not an alarming fact
to contemplate?
Yet it is true. Statistics COM
piled by the United States
Federal Bureau reveal the
startling news that the death
rate among prospective moth
ers is higher in this country
than in any other country of
the "a which the bureau
studied.
And the best of it is that
most of these deaths which
occur are absolutely unneces-
Sary. That is, they are avoid
able.
Were the mother of today to
avail herself Of the scientific
aid and advice which can be
had most anywhere for the ask
ing this country of ours could
easily top the list as having
the lowest mortality rate of
all.
In Japan the average is one
death during childbearing in
every 370 of the population.
In the United States it now
is as much as one in every
151. ...
Besides, not only do the moth
ers succumb but the babies as
well in many, many cases.
The reason why so many
prospective mothers do not get
the medical attention they need
early enough seems to be two
fold.
In the first place there are
those who cannot bring them
selves to believe that anything
physically wrong-at least of a
serious nature-could possibly
be true of them.
That is a kind of conceit all
humans are heir to. Our egoes
say, "Oh, I'm all right. I don't
feel sick. Why should I hunt
for trouble?"
In the second place, there are
scores and scores Of women, sad
to. relate, who actually are
afraid to consult a doctor.
They would much rather take
q chance than know ths ruth.

From time to time, the scien-
tist with unusual imaginative
powers attempts to visualize the
world as it will be at some far
point in the future. Writers
Of fiction have frequently tried
their hands at this fascinating
but fruitless game. In astron-
omy, Flammarion; in biology,
Haldane; in pseudo-science,
Verne; in fiction, Wells and
Kiphng: in drama. Shaw
these and many others have
drawn fanciful pictures, rang
ing from the spectacular and
startling to the tragic and the
horrible.
A machine, an invention, a
new scientific discovery-any
one Of these is really an exten-
sion of mans powers. It will
enable him to do things he has
never done before. It may en-.
able him to conquer space, to
travel at will in a new domain
AS in the case of the sub
marine, the airplane or the

IT may enable man to cure
disease, to nullify the ravages
OF some scourge to which man
has long been subject. AS man
extends the boundaries of hui.
man knowledge, he develops
new powers and consequently
assumes new responsibilities.

race is bound up with the pro.
