Professor Charles G. Haines Of the University Of
California has dared to question the sanctity of the
practices of the United States supreme court.
In lecture just published on "A Government Of
Laws or Of Men," he holds that the supreme court
IS not the guardian Of rigid Constitution; instead
the court is an active interpreter continuously chang
ing the Constitution in the light Of new social and
economic issues and according TO the altering views
Of the nine men who make up the bench Of that
august tribunal.
Haines contends that judicial review Of congress
sional legislation really not matter Of putting the
actual Constitution up against unconstitutional enact

be honorable and just enough to see
they are taken care of in time OF
need. They would be, were it not
for the fact that the emoluments OF
office are the great incentive rather
than the honor they crave to serve
the dear people. Let's change all
this by voting for cooperation and

BERT F. MORLEDGE.
Columbus, Ind.
Editor TimeS-It is well known
that Selfishness and corruption
abound on every side in our govern
ment. Extravagances rule and graft
is openly practiced, while the people
paw the bills and suffer. The elected
officers of government often are
the mere agents of the powerful
interests"
And this in country where the
people are supposed to govern. But
they will not govern again under
the old parties. The government
has passed from the people and they
are hopelessly giving up, not even
going to the polls to vote for any
candidate.
announce five fundamental
propositions to restore the govern
ment to the people which, suppose,
will need to come through a new
party.
1. The duties of government
should be as much business or
profession as is manufacturing,
merchandising, or banking. 1t is
all wrong to change officers each
few years if they are serving well.
2. Therefore, instead of voting to
put people in Office FOR term of
years, vote once year to decide
whether they shall remain or go
out.
8. The longer a good man works
in certain line, the more proficient
he becomes. Therefore, promote
from lower offices to higher ones as
they become vacant by removal,
resignation or death. Example:
Elect councilmen, promote the one
who holds the longest without re-
movai to higher offices until ne
may become mayor. In like man
ner, elect only to the statehoHse Of
representatives and automatically
the one who serves the lougesEwithr

Just Another Law

A S might have been expected the
"A Barberger- Watkins baby mix
up results in the demand for an
other law, and the Chicago medical
Society rises nobly to the occasion
by appointing a committee to draft
one. The basic idea, of course, is
to invent a system that will make
the misplacing of baby tags impos-
sible. There will be blanks to sign,
with two witnesses to verify the sig
natures, and a lot of red tape for
the nurses to go through, whether
the poor kid lives or dies, or
whether parents can stand the adj
ditional cost.
Just another scheme to substitute
mechanics for responsibility, to
create a society of robots and fool
proof world. Well, when we get a
foolproof world, we probably shall
have a world full of fools.

Color

TINE action Of the prism easily is
Il understood if we keep in mind
the nature of color.
Sounds differ from one another
in pitch because they consist of
sound waves of different lengths.
Long waves constitute the notes of
low pitch. Short waves constitute
those of high pitch.
In the same way, the color of
light depends upon its wave length.
Red light is composed of the longest
waves. Violet light is composed of
the shortest.
Of course, light waves are not
waves in the air, as are sound
waves, but waves in the ether of
space.
White light is bundle of waves
including all the wave lengths from
red to violet.
Now, when light passes through
a glass prism, it is bent. The tech
nical word for the phenomenon is
diffraction. But the amount that a
beam of light is bent or diffracted
depends upon its wave lengths. Con-
sequently, when beam of mixed
waves goes through a prism, it is
sorted out into a band.
Red light, which is diffracted the
least, comes out at the near end of
the band. Violet light, which is
diffracted the most, comes out at
the far end of the hand
The result is the formation Of a
rainbow or a spectrum. And since
the position of any particular color
in the spectrum is determined by
its wave length, we can calculate
that wave length by measuring its
exact position in the spectrum.
That measurement and calcula-
ton constitutes the fundamental
task in spectrum ANALYSIS.

COSMETICS have been used by
~ women and even by men for
thousands of years.
Because of the strange super
stitions that women have concern
ing the effects of drugs of various
kinds upon the skin, DR.. r. N. B.
MacKenna, a specialist in dis
eases of the skin in Liverpool,
has given consideration to many
of the formulas provided and to
the superstitions that people have
concerning their use.
Some beauty specialists, DR.. Mac
Kenna says, suggest soap and water
should not be used, but that the
face should be cleansed by the ap-
plication of cold cream and any
surplus removed with absorbent
paper or towel, after which a van
ishing cream should be applied.
The beauty specialists then sug-
gest that the toilet should be COM
pleted by the judicious use of
powder, varying in hue from green
or mauve to pink or tan.

Newton

TINE innermost secrets Of the sun
Il have been unlocked through the
study of the suns spectrum. It is
Of interest, therefore, to trace the
origin and development of spectrum
analysis.
1t all began with an attempt by
Sir Isaac Newton to improve tele-
scopes.
Astronomers in Newton's day were
bothered by the fact that their tele-
scopes did not give perfectly sharp
images. Instead, the images pos
sessed fuzzy boundaries, ringed with
the colors of the rainbow.
It occurred to Newton that the
difficulty did not lie in the tele-
scope lens, but in the nature of the
light. In other words, something
peculiar about light made it behave
as it did.
Newton therefore perfected a tel
escope which used a mirror instead
of lens. This type of telescope,
known as the reflector, is in wide
use today, the worlds largest tele-
scopes being of this type.
The difficulty with the other type
known as the refractor, later was
solved by employing lenses COM
posed of two kinds of glass, but that,
as Mr.. Kipling would say, is another
story. What we are interested in
following at the moment is New
tons investigation of the nature of
light.
Newton, by means of a glass
prism, established definitely that
white light was composition of all
the colors of the rainbow and that
what the prism did was to split a
beam of white light into it's COM
ponent colors.
In his experiment, Newton adj
nitted a beam of sunlight into a
room through narrow slit in a
shutter.
