Mary Della closed her eyes and

every detail stood out in its original

The FlvinV Fund

The final report OF the Daniel Guggenheim fund
for the promotion Of aeronautcs has been made after
four years Of work
THE fund has no other purpose" the report states
than to assist in making air transportation safe, pop
uIar and regularly available and its popularity is
definitely assured. Also, under the right conditions,
transportation by air be safe as transportation
by rail- steamship or motor vehicle"
The fund spent nearly 100000 aviation. To
say that its efforts were in vain would be untrue But
to say that it succeeded In making air transportation
safe, popular and regularly available would be to ex-
aggerate.
Aviation is not popular to the extent that it is ac
copied as routine part Of life. Neither is 1t regularly
available for the completion of the average journey
throughout the United States. These things
ing, but time alone will bring them.
Air transportation on schedule lines now does have
safety record comparable to those of other forms of
transportation But the regular of arplanes is be-
ing retarded by inability of the public to diferen
tate between stunt flying and regular transport.
The Guggenheim funds most valuable accomplish
ments were unspectacuar: It's establishment of a
model passenger airline and weather reporting
ice; its roof-marking campaign; its grant to uni
versities
The lack of success ia some OF its projectS-Such as
the safe aircraft competition-was black mark not
against the Guggenheim fund but against the worlds
aeronautical engineers.

BERGsON'S BIRTH


October Is
ON oct. 10, 1859, Henri Berg
~ son. eminent French philoso-
pher, was born In Paris Of Anglo
Jewish parents.
Undecided as to whether he
should make a career Of literature
or science, Bergson entered the nor
NAL school. Graduating at the age
of %. Bergson was made professor
of philosophy at the Lycees OF AM
gers and Clermont.
He taught philosophy at other
institutions and in his leisure de-
voted himself to philosophic writ
ings.
HIS books Matter and Memory, .
Creative Evolution" and Time and
Free Will" attracted wide attention
and soon placed him in the front
rank Of contemporary philosophers.
In 1918 he gave up teaching and
devoted himself to politics and IN
ternational affairs. In 1927 h. was
awarded the Nobel prize for htera-
ture.
Bergson's philosophy endeavors to
show that intellect, upon which all
previous PHILOSOPHERS have been de-
veIoped, is unable to comprehend
the nature Of life and Of spirit, but
chat intuition Is.

Pain in Back Often Is Puzzling

back itself, but in some other por-
ton of the anatomy.
1t is, therefore, necessary to ex-
anime the patient, standing, sitting,
and lying, and to test the move
ments of his limbs under various
conditions.
1t long has been recognized that
a pain in the back may be due to
infection of the appendix, to an in
lection in the prostate gland, to
some disease of the intestines, or in
women to diseases of the organs as
ISOLATED with childbirth.
There are innumerable cases on
record in which removal of an in
fected appendix or of hbroid
tumor in a woman has resulted in
complete cessation Of the pain in
the back.

trct attorney charged that these bruises were re-

he was alleged to have killed. Judge Pound sar-

Top at the complaisant attitude of American lawyers
and judges with reference to the third degree, on
the ground that it exists universally and therefore
must be accepted
"LAwless methods Of law enforcement should not
be countenanced by our courts. even though they
may seem expedient to the authorities in order to
apprehend the guilty. Whether a guilty man goes
free or not is small matter compared with the
maintenance Of principles which still safeguard per-
son accused Of crime.
'If torture is to be accepted as a means Of Sc
curing confessions let us have preense about it,
but repeal Section Ss5 Of the Code Of Criminal Pro-
cedure and accept all evidence Of all confessions,
however obtained trusting to the jury to wirnow the
true from the false. AS long the section remains
in the CODE the courts are bound to give full
protection to an accused the evidence warrants "
It scarcely needs to be added that Judge Pound
ordered a new trial. We may hope that district
attorneys police captains and trial judges will sit
up and take notice Something as potent as a re-
buke from the court of appeals sorely needed.
The bar association recently brought out damn
ing exposure Of the arocious of the third degree
by the New York police but it stillborn. It is
doubtful If the report stayed a single club, strap,
fist or boot.
We may agree with Judge Pound that If We are
going to use torture, it is best to admit it frankly
and no longer hypocritically pretend that we have
abandoned the medieval inquisiton the witch
tortures Of early modern times.
