PROFESSOR FISHER himself
l. was student of Gibbs at the
time when Gibbs was a professor at
Yale. Gibbs taught there until his
death in 1903.
Just as the great results Of the
twentieth century in chemistry and.
engineering have come through the
application of mathematics to their
problems, so mathematical ANALYSIS
viii point the way to the soIuJion
of economic and social problems,
Professor Fisher said.
He pointed out four fields of social !,
science in which he thought more
intensive use OF mathematics could
be made
These may be distinguished as
% pure theory. % the fitting of
formulae to statistics, 80 correla-
ton. and "a probabilities, he said.
Mathematics serves economic
theory in supplying fundamental
concepts based on the differential
calculus" he continued. Through
the process of differentiation, it
solves Qu6SIlOlS OF LlaAlI1d ana
minima, such as the simple process
of determining formally what isN
the maximum price that the traffic ="
will bear in order to make profits
a maximum.
1.-THE chief realm of economic
theory to which mathematical anal
ysis of this formal kind applies is
that Of supply and demand, the de-
termination of prices, and the Thea
oretical effect of taxes or tariffs on
prices.
Familiarity with mathematics will
save many Commissions of thought.
For instance, it is as important to
distinguish between a high price and
a rising price as between velocity
and acceleration.
rate of price change has I'M D
portant effects, both theoretically
and in practice, on the rate of in
terest and on the volume of bust
ness"

NNE of the problems of greatest
" interest in recent years is the
control of the problem of addiction
to narcotic drugs.
Publicity organizations keep the
matter constantly before the public.
At the same time, scientific bodies
have been making studies of addic-
ton in various hospitals and insti-
buttons, with view to finding out
why people become addicted and
how best to relieve them from their
habits as soon as the addiction is
established
The results of a series of studies
made by the committee on drug
addiction of New York City and
carried out IN Philadelphia now
are made available by DR.. Arthur
B. Light.

Hioher Mathematics Is En-
pected to Solve Many of
the Deeper Problems in the
Future.
nv DAVID DIETZ

ECONOMICS and sociology may,
T. in the near future, read like the
Einstein theory of relatively. Future
advances in the social sciences will
come through the application OF
higher mathematics to their prob
lens. Prof. Irving Fisher, famous
economist of Yale university, pre-
dicted here at the annual conYen-
ton of the American Association
for the Advancement Of Science
Professor Fisher urged the applica-
ton of vector Analysis to economic
problems. This is one OF the
branches OF mathematics employed
by Professor Einstein. A vector in
mathematics is line that possesses
both magnitude and direction.
Professor Fisher delivered thR-
Josiah Willard Gibbs lecture, an affy
nual event sponsored by the Amer
lean Mathematical Society in men,
DRY of Gibbs, one of the greatest
figures in American science.
Gibbs, by his mathematical analy-
sis of thermodynamics, the problems
of heat transfer, made fundamental
discoveries which accelerated the
whole development Of chemistry a .
heat engineering.
AS Professor Fisher said, there IS
today no g,eat chem. cal or metal
lurgical inuustry that does not de-
pend, for the development OF
great part of its operations, on an
understanding and application OF
the laws laid down by Gibbs"

Depend on War

IF nations are going to reduce their
l. armies and navies, some agency
must be devised to guarantee them
against unjust treatment, and that
is the crux of the problem.
The world will continue to de-
pend on war for its protection,
whether it agrees to disarm or not,
until such agency has been estab-
lished.
That is because human nature
still is human.
The individual, the family. and
the tribe did not give up the idea
of fighting for their own protection
until more adequate system of
justice had been devised.
No more will nations.

Still Could Murder

TINE problem of peace does not
l. hinge on the question of wheth-
er we have 35,000-ton battleships,
or agree to a vest-pocket type.
1t is conceivable that we might
scrap all battleships, and still en-
gage in bloody sea fights.
Certainly, history contains plenty
of instances to prove the point.
1t is conceivable that we could
throw away our guns, tanks. torpe-
does and poison gas and still do a
pretty good job of wholesale muir
der.

The cry for disarmament is merely
preliminary step, deserving en-
couragement, not because it prom
Uses anything of tangible value, but
because it helps us to think in the
right direction and helps to clear
the stage for a different Set-up.
But thinking in the right direction
and different Set-up are the all
important things.
What people want Is security, and
that can't be guaranteed merely by
throwing away weapons.

This although Mr. Taft lived longer than the average OF
Presidents Mr. Cooidges health improved while IN OFFICE

The general trend is DOWN, says Colonel Ayers, who
shows the decline in age by grouping the twentyegh ex

second Committing Lncon) III that Of the third and fourth
(omitting Garfield and Mckinley &c.
"These figures" Colonel Ayers adds, "affOTd some
evidence that the declining tendency is not con-
tinuing in decades, but they still reflect
the marked betGUeen the greater longevity
of Presidents of earlier years and the lesser life
spans Of those of more recent times"
The American people have conception Of the heavy
burden laid upon their chief executives but good many
show surprising unwillngness to tighten it. The hours
wasted by Presidents in receiving delegations from Podunk

Calvary. But first. that hour
beneath the olive trees. They'd
eaten their last supper. Then,
with a few He loved, He went out
through the darkness to a lonely
place-to that old garden called
Gethsemane. Then left His
friends to watch while He went
on to pray, as any man might
pray in awful need.
Midnight. No stars. The
gathering mob-and with the
mob. the cross. He was still
young. Too young to want to
go. Too hot with hope to give
up His great fight. There, on
the rocky ground, He knelt and
prayed:
FATHER" He cried, LET
THIS CUP PASS FROM ME-"
And as He cried His sweat
fell thick as blood-but from the
brooding dark no sign or answer
came.
He waited then. Walked
back and forth between the ST.
lent trees. Fought with Himself
against the rising fear. Fought
God knows-what rebellious
rage and bitterness. (For He

Lying, as q Fine Art
A CHEERFUL liar may be a
"A sinner; and again. he may
be only an alibi artist or a

It all depends on his motive,
his method, his skill and his
past performances.
When is a lie NOT a lie?
Oh, lots of times! When it's
a polite fib: when it's good pol
icy: when it's a duty; when
it's chiva1ry; when it's flat
tery-and when it's an alibi!"
There are black lies, white
lies, and all sorts of little pink,
blue, lavender and mauve lies,
In between.
It's a lie when one man tells
1t to another man-but just

q woman.
It's a fib when you confess
it-and a lie If you get caught
In it.
It's a lie if a man tells it to
his lawyer-and an alibi if he
tells it to his wife or the jury.
When a woman lies about
her age, it's 'fibbing"-but
when she lies about another
woman's age it's Lying"
You SEE how 1t is!
When a woman begs a man
to tell her "the honest truth"
about herself, he knows that

Adams and LIE Verrier
By Archibald Henderson

AS long as the annals Of
IA science are preserved the
story of the Identification and
discovery Of the eighth major
planet, Neptune, will be trium-
phantly recorded.
The fullest investigation into
the records have convinced
astronomers that the honors in
that great achievement must
be shared in equal measure by
an English astronomer, John
Couch Adams, of Cornwall,
and a French astronomer, Ur-
ban LIE Verrier, of Paris.
Only within recent years
have astronomers assigned to
Adams his full due for an equal
part in the discovery with LIE
Verrier. So diffident had he
been In presenting his dis
covery that. at first. little i'm
portance was attached to it;
and public priority was ac-
corded to LIE Verrier.
John COUCH ADAMS, born
d at Lidcot, Cornwall. on June
S, 1919, early displayed a deep
interest in the observation of
the heavens. About the age of
twenty he attended st. Johns
College. Cambridge, where he
read with interest and burning
curiosity the account of the OBJ
served irregularities in the
orbital motion Of the planet
Uranus.
Following the prediction of
Bouvard that an unseen perturb-
ing body was causing all the
trouble, young Adams under
took the task of locating this
unseen planet in the sky. which
the great mathematician, Bessel,
was prevented from undertak-
ing by his sudden death. His
toric is the entry by Adams in
his diary, July 8, 1841.

ginning of this week, of inveSti-

which are as yet unaccOunted
for; in order to find whether
they may be attributed to the
action of an undiscovered planet
beyond it and if possible thence
to determine the elements of its
orbit, ETC., approximately, which
would probably lead to its dis
covery."
THIS memorandum, lost among
l. his papers. was not dis
covered until 1892. It was q
sort of rediscovery of Neptune!
After taking his degree in
1843 Adams devoted the next
two years to completing the Ia
boriouS calculations, using the
results already recorded by Bou-
ward.
Sir George Airy had expressed
to Bouvard in 1887 the view
that it would be almost impos-
sible to locate the new planet,
assuming its existence.
Imagine the aStonishment of
Prof. Challis, director of the OBJ
servatory at Cambridge, when
the young undergraduate, Ad-
ans, his pupil and protege, in.
formed him how and when the
new planet was to be found.
Through a failure of Adams
to find Airy at Greenwich, and
a later delay in correspondence,
Adams discovery was long de-
layed in announcement. In the
meantime, the announcement of
the new planets discovery by
LIE Verrier was made on Noven.

But LIE Verrier had only be-

ONE Of the first things a
" mother should think about
concerning the new baby is
its bath. For proper and reg
ular bathing for the infant is
a powerful factor toward pro-
noting its health and vigorous
development. '.
AS a general rule, however,
the child should not be given
a full tub bath until 10 days
old-at any rate, not until
the navel has healed beyond
a question of doubt.
The room in which the bath
is given should always be
warm, at about 100 degrees
Fahrenheit. When the child is
six months old, a somewhat
cooler room is preferable, the
temperature at 95 degrees.
After the first year Is passed,
the best temperature Is be-
tween IS and 80 degrees.
Great care should be taken
Lest cold currents Of air-in
fact. even warm draftS-do not
strike the body. In winter,
to bathe the body before an
open fire, If possible, Is highly
desirable.
About 8 in the morning is a
good time for the bath, and

beautiful and thrilling fiction
ing"
Any woman would rather live
with a nice, flattering Ananias,
than with a conscientious little
George Washington, who was
forever telling her the bitter
truth.
Telling lies Is a fault in a
boy, an art in a lover, an ac-
complishment in bachelor,
and second nature in a mar
ried man.
There are men who NEVER
tell the truth to any woman,
just on principle-even when
the truth would serve their pur-
pose better than a lie.
A woman will lie to anybody
else on earth sooner than to
the man she loves-but man,
alas, will lie to the woman he
loves sooner than to anybody
else on earth.
Almost any man can make a
woman believe that black is
white; but it takes an artistic
lover to make her believe that
it is roSe-color.
A mans love is not dead so
long as he continues to lie to a
woman, but when he no longer
thinks it worth while to go
on whitewashing himself, and
STOPS fibbing to her.
The man who lies FOR a
woman is a gentleman; the
man who lies ABOUT a woman
is a cad; but the man who lies
TO a woman, in order to pre-
serve her vanity, is an ANGEL!

Ours is a different universe

WE live in and for this new
