Senator Helms Troubles

Senator Thomas j. Hefiin of Alabama, noted for
his bitter attacks on the Catholic church and his
efforts to stir up religious hatred is having his
troubles in Alabama.
Tom deserted his party ticket in 1923 because he
saw in the candidacy of Governor Smith attempt
by the pope to gain control of the government. AS
consequence, his name can not appear Democrat
in the primaries.
He has been forced to organize an independent
ticket, and a candidate for Governor who also had
bolted the ticket will with him.
The meeting at which his candidacy was Endorsed
was said not to have been very enthusiastic He has
formidable opposition in the two candidates running
in the regular primary, one of them John H. Bank
head. son of the late United States Senator Bank
head and brother Of Representative Bankhead.
Thus the religious issue will figure in the Alabama
elections in November 1t did in 1928, and we may
expect from Hein Of the Incorporate outbursts
with which he has wearied the senate and the coun-
try in recent years.
Religion--Protestsnt Catholic, jewish or what not
is not and should not be political issue. Religious
freedom is fundamental in the American scheme.
Heflin by introducing the ISSUE arouses bgory and
intolerance For this reason there will be little COM
plant about the punishment given him for his views
although in normal circumstances there probably
would be.
The country will be pleased if the voters see mt
TO remove Hefn from the senate, not alone because
il would silence him. His defeat also would provide
salutary lesson for other politicians of his type
who might be tempted to capitalize on the religious
nuestion

There are, of course, certain forms
of disorders of the eye which are
apparently in no way related to TO-
cal infection; for example, cata-
racts.
In an attempt to handle this con-
dition, numerous cases have been
studied in which every possible foci
of infection have been relieved, and
yet the. cataracts did not improve
nor was their development delayed
1t is possible that the disturbance
of the eye is caused not by the germ
carried to the eye, but by the de-
velopment of the poisonous products
of the germs and the effects of these
poisons upon the tissue of the eye.
1t long has been known that the
eye is sensitive to various types Of
poison, and that blindness or in
fian1mation of the eye is infre-
quently is not an early symptom OF
various forms of intoXication.

CUNLIGHT is needed to maintain
- life. Plants grow by the aid of
sunlight. Our food is either plants
or animals who in their turn live
upon plants.
It is obvious, therefore, that If
plants stopped growing, we all
would Starve to death.
The energy which plants need to
grow is the energy of sunlight. The
process involved is known as pho
tosynthesis. Plants with the aid of
sunlight build up their tissues from
the carbon dioxide Of the air and
the water of the soil.
The carbon dioxide and water are
put together with the energy of SUM-
light into carbohydrates. The COM
moneSt carbohydrates are sugars
and starclles. Further processes
within the plant tissue change some
of the carbohydrates into fats and
prcteins.
Sunlight also plays an important
part in the growth Of animals. Rick
cts, disease in which the bones
fail to grow and develop properly,
occurs when infants-or young ami
mails OF any sort-do not get enough
sunlight.
Many ancient peoples worshiped
the sun. Of all the ancient worship
of material things, that of the sun
was the most reasonable, for the
role which the sun plays in life can
hardly be overestimated.
Professor Edwin B. Frost of the
Yerkes observatory has said that if
he we're inclined to worship any
material thing, he could find none
more worthy than the sun.
Tocay, however, we have carried
worship from the material to the
spiritual plane.

SCIENCE
BY DAVID DIETZ-
We Are All Children of the
Sun and Our Existence
Depends Upon It's Rays.

GUNNER is a season Of cheerful
- ness because it Is season Of
bright sunshine. Something with
in mankind responds to the call OF
the sun.
It has been so since the early
days Of humanity. Perhaps, there Is
some deep-seated biological reason.
Animals instinctlvely seek the sun
for its health-giving rays. That
same instinct, perhaps, turks in
mankind.
We are all children of the sun.
Our earth and all that is upon it,
the green trees, the flowers, the
birds and animals, ourselves, too,
for that matter, were all, once upon
a time, white hot gases in the outer
regions of the sun.
According to the generally ac-
copied theory, Our earth and its
moon, and the other planets and
their moons or satellites, all origi-
mated from gaseous material which
was pulled out u the sun by the
gravitational influence of a great
star which passed by our sun.
No one, of course, knows how life
came into existence upon this
earth. But most authorities think
that it was the energy of sunlight
which called life into existence.
Living matter, or protoplasm, to
give it the scientific name, is dis
tinguished from nonliving matter
by the possession of an excess store
Of energy.

political motives. Surely, he is more sensitive on
this score than he need be.
MacDonald's discovery having been made it
merely becomes a question of the Governor acting
as swiftly as possible to right wrong, If wrong
has been done or end the widespread belief that a
wrong has been done.
What political capital could be made against the
Governor we can not see. Suppose earthquake
we're to shake down the walls Of some California
city, Would the Governor delay sending aid, for
fear his motives would be misunderstood?
Frankly, he has done the one thing capable Of
being misunderstood. He has delayed action again.
To the long list of delays that have marked the
handling of this vitality important matter, the Gov
ernor-now that justice seems nearer than ever be-
fore-has added one more delay.
We do not mpugn his motives, but if he is afraid
Of being misunderstood IL seems to us that he has
taken the most likely to have that result
From the practical standpoint there is every rea-
son that the hearing of Macdonald should be ex-
pedited. Prematurely old, crippled with rheuma-
tism his shaky and his heart apparently raw
with remorse Macdonald may not always be avail
able.
The Governor should hear him while he can. Six
weeks from now may be too late.

ST. SWITHIN'S DAY
July Is

0N July Is, 965 A. D., the leg
" end arose that if it rained on
the day it would continue to do
so for the forty Gays succeeding.
The story is connected with st.
Swithin, Bishop Of Winchester, and
tutor to King Alfred. At his request,
he was buried in the churchyard
of the abbey where passersby
might tread n his grave, and
where the rain from the caves
might fall on it."
After his ca1orization in 865 1t
was resolved to remove hi3 re-
mains to the chancel-the Gus
tomary burying place of the bish-
ops-and July Is was appointed
for the ceremony
But on that day and for forty
days thereafter, St. Swithin, to testi-
fly his displeaSure, caused rain to
fall so heavily that the monks aban-
doned their rlan as blasphemous
That is how popular superstition
has come to regard this day as being
Of meteorological significance.
Careful observation kept at the
Greenwich observatory for a per-
iod of twenty wars, however. show
this superstition to be without
foundation.

have announced price reductions ranging from 10 to
IS per cent. Goods will sell more cheaply than at

seSsed against the producer.
Double Knockout


CARROLL'S discretion and taste
~ seem to me abonlinable, and
yet I still have no enthusiasm for
allowing the police to act as guar
dians of the name of art.
Indeed, in a contest between a
dumb producer and a dumb police
man, I am more or less neutral. The
only wholly satisfactory conclusion
would be a double knockout.
A few editorial writer's have gone
to the length of assuming that court
action properly might mean a re-
view of the plumbers in taste COM
mitted by Carroll.
One newspaper man has even
suggested that the court properly
might take steps to compel the pro-
Queer to eliminate a scene in which
a snatch of the Gettysburg address
follows a jazz dance by the chorus.
1 will agree that is possibly among
the gravest of CAROLS crimes. I
think that his former exploit, for
which he was punished, of giving a
girl more or less public bath in
champagne, pales beside this new
offense.
But this is not matter included
in the complaint. We have no salts
factory machinery by which bad
taste can be made renewable at
law. The most effective and prac-
tical policy of rebuking Earl Carroll
does not lie in trials and sum-
monses.

Of the inhabitants of New York to

MANY authorities think that liv-
1V1 ing matter originated in the
tidal pools, the region along the
edge of the sea where little pools
of water are left behind by the re-
ceSSion of the tide.
Here in the sands, they think,
various mixtures of salts were left
by the receding waters. One day,
the proper combination of chemical
materials formed a thin film upon
the sands, a glue-like mixture Of the
kinds which chemists call colloidal.
The sunlight beat down upon this
colloidal film and it began to alb
serb the energy of sunlight. It's ex-
cess energy turned the tiny colloidal
globules into little bundles of &C
tivity and they f1oated away upon
the returning tide as the first glo-
buleS of living matter.
Thus, many authorities believe,
life started upon earth with the aid
Of the energy of sunlight.
Life today is dependent upon SUM-
light. The earth receives it's heat
and light from the sun.
If the sun suddenly were to go
out, nothing would remain but the
feeble glow of the stars. The moon
and planets, which shine by reflect
ed sunlight, would become invisible.
The temperature of the earth
would drop to zero in less than a
day. BY the end of few days,
the oceans, the lakes and the rivers
would be frozen solid. Soon after
the earth's atmosphere would begin
to freeze. 1t would fall to the
earth's surface as a layer of liquid
air. Then this layer of liquid air
would itself freeze.
The story of life on the earth
would be over.
