Jews and the League

American Jews properly elated over the
1eaoue of Nations rebuke of Great Britain for fail
ue to protect and their rights in Palestine eS-
pecialy during the Arab-Jewsh massacres last year.
While the report of the leagues permanent man
dates commission is hardly complete confirmation
of the zonists claims, stated by some Zionist lead
ers does on most essential points support their po-
sition.
Anv informed or fair-minded person must admit
that Britains task of reconcling Arab and Jewish
aspirations IN Palestine is exceedingly difficult But
that can not excuse the British government for the
negligence and haltng policy revealed by events and
criticised by the mandates commission.
After all no one forced the Palestine mandate
on Britain London wants Palestine virtual col
ony. partly because OF mineral and chemical re-
sources but especially because of its strategic impor
lance in relation to the Suez canal key to the en-
prc.
Such being the case, the very minimum of pay
ment which should be expected of Britain in exchange
for her rule over Palestine is efficient and humane
government there.
Maybe it is not true, as many Jewish leaders as
sert that Britain having world Jewish support
during the war by the pledge to support Jewish ma
tional homeland in Palestine is trying to leave
the Jews in the lurch But certainly Britains record
in Palestine is not encouraging, either from the jew
jsh or the international point of view.
And there has been more discouraging aspect
of the situation than the bad grace with which the
labor government, and the British press generally,
have taken the detailed and substantiated criticism
by the mandates commission.
Not only Britain, but France and the other pew
ers. usually have acted as though league mandate
we're merely cloak for imperiastic expansion and ex-
poitation Unfortunately the mandates commission,
Cd 0ftev IN
that conception of mandates.
Therefore, the significance of the commissions re-
port on Palestine is that league body, for at
least has dared tell the truth about of the great
powers which dictate too much of league action and
policy.
We hope and believe that, after the first shock Of
such criticism, the better nature of British public
opinion will assert itself and insist that Britain
fulfill its obligations in Palestine.

More Speed in the Air

The prediction that New York and San Francisco
eventually will be linked by overnight air mail serv-
ice-a prediction that would have sounded foolish
only year or so ago-is beginning to seem great
deal more reasonable, in view of Captain Hawks
twelve-hour fight from one ocean to another.
Speed in the air is becoming more and more COM
mon. just at present, undoubtedly, it would be i'm
possible for regular air mail plane to maintain,
attempt, tweve-hour schedule across the con-
tinent; but when the way in which aircraft design
constantly developing new and improved
models is considered it quite possible that the
thing will be done in the near future
You might notice that it is just eighteen years
since an aviator made great sensation by flying all
the way from Jacksonville Fla, to San Francisco II

SCIENCE
Deep Ocean Currents Studied
BIZ Means of Water Bottles
Sunk at Different Levels.
BY DAVID DIETZ

A LMOST imperceptible currents
4 n which move slowly through the
great ocean deeps--three, four or
five miles below the surface-are
being studied by scientists today.
The work, however, is difficult and
expensive, and more of it is urged
by DR.. H. U. Sverdrup, famous Nor
wegian oceanographer and explorer,
who now is in this country.
DR.. Sverdrup, who spent six years
in the Arctic with expeditions Of
the late Capt. Roald Amundsen, is
in Washington making an analysis
for the Carnegie institution of
Washington of the records of the
last journey Of the nonmagnetic
ship, the Carnegie.
He urges study of deep ocean
currents because without that in
formation complete knowledge of
oceanic circulation can not be OBJ
tanned. Such a knowledge would
be of utmost Importance to navi-
cation, the fishing industries and
weather forecasting.
Surface currents easily are stud
led and much information about
them is on hand. But there are
many puzzles which he feels can be
explained only by supplementing
this information with the knowl-
edge of what is happening near the
floor of the ocean.

Too Much Water Bad for Body

and fluid may accumulate in the
abdominal cavity.
In an earlier day before the mech
anism was understood, it was GUS
tomary to remove great quantities
of fluid by tapping, and because the
mechanism was not changed in any
way, fluid that was removed
promptly was replaced by new fluid.
Operations have been developed
for controlling this matter, but far
more important is the treating of the
diseased organ or tissue fundamen-
tally responsible.
It must be understood that the
swelling due to an accumulation of
water is symptom and not a dis
ease. 1t is important to know
whether it is due to the heart or to
the kidneys that are failing to func-
ton, and this can be determined
only by the most efficient scientific
investigation.
When the fact finally is known,
it is possible by controlling the diet,
by controlling the fluid intake, by
the use of sweating particularly and
by various other methods to bring
about control.

Cold

TINE temperature alone gives the
Il scientist valuable information,
DR.. Sverdrup says.
"a thermometer brought up from
a depth of one mile or more at the
equator shows that the water there
is very cold, in spite of the surface
water being very warm" he says.
1.-THE temperature actually is only
few degrees higher than the tenn
perature of the icy waters of the
Arctic or the Antarctic.
"This fact indicates that the deep
water has travelled toward the trop-
les from the polar regions, where it
has been cooled off.
1.-THE Antarctic is of special i'm
portance in this connection because
here we find deep sea all round
the globe and in the Atlantic the
Antarctic water can be traced to
about Is degrees north latitude or
the latitude of southern Florida.
There is every reason to believe
that the Antarctic is Of dominant
Importance to the deep sea currents
of the Pacific as well, but modern
data are stiIi lacking from the Pa
cific.
at is not quite true that modern
data are wholly lacking from the
Pacific. The nonmagnetic vessel
the Carnegie recently has carried
out number of highly valuable
observations in the Pacific. The
name of the Carnegie ought to be
as well known as the names Of the
vessels the City of New York or
Elinor Boiling"

Editor Times-In this column
Aug. 26 appeared an article attack
ing the men who frequent the
Alabama street side of the court
house, seeking employment. This
locality has been used by men for
this purpose for more than ten
years.
Many firms in the city are aware
of this and come there and hire
men for part time employment. In
fact, I know of several instances
where men are ekeing out an exist
ence for their families from the re-
turns they get from odd jobs they
procure there. If not for this, they
would be dependent on charity.
Here are some Of the choice
sobriquetS the author of the Aug.
26 article applied to these men:
':Bums, stews, hoodlums, buzzards
and Sots." In fact, the article was
a condemnation of slang, under
world jargon and grammatical
errors.
This is a very pointed indication
of the low origin and rank ignor-
ance of the man who lacked the
courage to sign his name. He
classified them collectively as
drunkards. There is no need to
brand this a falsehood.
1t is self evident that fifty to
seventy-flve DRINKS in one group,
in the same locality. every day,
would not be tolerated, even by our
Indianapolis police force, which he
ridicules. But he seems to be in
cenSed not particularly by this
(imagined) drunkenness. but be-
cause this GmaginedD drunkenness
takes place in the shadow Of the
courthouse.
Why, he admits his own indulg-
ence in liquors. He is very alarmed
as to the impressions the visitors
to our fair city viii get tZom see
ing these men. Personally, I be-
lieve the impressions they will gain
from the perusal Of such ill-writ-
ten, idiotic articles as his will do
thousand times more to give
visitors a bad impression Of our
city than viewing any amount OF
men trying to earn an honest penny

Method

INFORMATION about the currents
Il on or near the oceans floor can
not be obtained directly, DR.. Sver-
drup says.
mo vessel yet has been able to
anchor in great depths for any
length of time and obtain reliable
data concerning the almost imper-
ceptible deep-currents," he says.
when studying these we have to
take recourses to indirect methods.
Specially constructed bottles are
sent down to number of levels
where they are closed, bringing up
samples of the water at these va
rious levels for analysis.
1.-THE water bottles are provided
with delicate Thermometers by
means of which the temperature of
the water can be determined with
an astonishing accuracy.
IF We know the temperature of
and the amount o. salt in a given
volume of water we may determine
the weight of that volume. Knowing
the weights or densities of the
water at a sufficient number of To-
calities, the direction and velocity
of the currents can be calculated.
However, to be able4to compute
the current it is necessary to have
very complete observations FROM
great number of stations or local
tiles close together.
"The study of the ocean-currents
far beneath the surface is still in its
infancy and we have a long way to
go before we can hope to express the
Slow flow of the deep water by
means Of exact figures.

TOLSTOY'S BIRTH

an Aug. %, 1928, Leo Tolstoy,
" famous Russian novelist and
one of the worlds greatest novelists,
was born in the government OF
lula, Russia.
He went to the University OF
Kazan, but after graduation he said
he knew literally nothing" In
duced by his brother. an army Off
Ger, to visit in Caucasia, Tolstoy
became so fascinated with the life
there that he, too. joined the army
It was at this time he wrote OF
his experiences in Sebastopol. Be-
cause his sketches painted the hor-
rorS of war with its false and real
heroes with such realism, he soon
rose to fame as writer.
Leaving the army after the Cri-
mean war;. Tolstoy decided to de-
vote himself to literature. He first
went to Germany to add to his
learning and culture, but his ex-
pericnce there only intensified his
doubts and diSappointments.
He had lost faith in modern civil
ization and hecame a champion OF
the common people, an enemy OF
the artificial upper GLASSES.
Tolstoy wrote much on education
and in his later years devoted him
self to religious teaching. He made
Resist not evil' the keystone OF
the Christian faith.
His religious views are set forth
in MY Confession" His War
and Peace" is regarded as his mas
terpiece, but his ANNA Karenina,
largely photographed, is the

IT is refreshing to read that George W. Norris spent
only $1,000 in his successful campaign for the
atorial nomination in Nebraska, though he was op-
posed by great organization, well financed.
Had the nomination been made in state con-
vention, Norris would have stood more chance than
the proverbial snow flake for few finished political
rackteers would nave made the delegates perform
more tricks than you ever saw in a circus.
TTNHERE has been ceaselesS propaganda against the
primary and many who desire good government
and fair play have been stunned by the constant
drum-flre OF those who for their desire
to destroy popular control of government.
The greatest fraud and falsehood is the statement
that the primary is so expensive the poor man can
not run Tor office when in fact the primary is the
only chance the poor or independent candidate has.
The primary is expensive only to the candidate
who wishes to buy the nomination.
Now this fraud and falsehood falls to the ground
when you look at Okahomas primary where onlv last
week Gore poor man. defeated an oil millionaire
for the nomination, and Murray, another poor man,
defeated another OIL millionaire for the governorship
LAD those nominations been made in state
convention, that pair of oil mlionaires would
have fabricated the machinery until Gore and Muir
ray would have found themselves everlastingly out
OF it. regardless of the desires of the people of Okla
homa.
The primary should be abolished in city and
county nominations and the convention system re-
stored for in such local conclaves the corruption and
the brutality of the state convention are unknown.
In such local contests the primary method leads
to multiplicity of candidates and defeats an ex-
preston of the popular will
T.. But in state affairs the primary method is the
only chance the people have to their own gov
ernment but it should be strong enough to nominate
Only by the primary men win who wish to
end abuses and advance the Eausaof justice in the
commonwealth.

Two of the ships were obtained
from the little town of Palos that
had incurred the displeasure of the
queen Of Spain and was compelled
to pay as a fine two ships year
The two that were turned over in
E1492 were given to Columbus. The
third and largest ship, the Santa
Maria, was donated by the Pinzon
brothers, wealthy seamen. Part of
the crews were prisoners who were
liberated for the undertaking. They
were paid four months wages in
advance, two-thirds of which was
paid by the Spanish court, and the
balance was paid by Columbus and
