WAR AIRCRAFT BILL


ON July "a, 1917, President Will
~ son signed the war aircraft bill
appropriating $64O,OOO, 900, the larg-
est sum for a single project ever
voted by any congress.
The purpose of raising this money
was to equip the aviation corps with
about 100000 men and with about
$4,000 planes.
AS soon as the bill was signed
Howard Coffin, chairman of the
Aircraft Production board, stated
that the board was prepared to go
ahead I at once, but that result
should not be expected too soon.
He added:
I'm spite of our previous mex
perience in quantity production of
fighting planes. we must have
thousands of them for next years
use to make the contribution which
the allies expect of us.
America is the last great reser-
voir of material for war pilots as
well as for airplanes. Already three

training fields are completed and
instruction on them has begun.

A S between such a proposition
IN and the kind Of half-baked,
Intellectual charity with which we
floundered last winter, there should
be no question.
Better $40 for work than 10 cents
for a handout.
We must not deprive the unfortu-
mates among us Of an opportunity
to keep their self-respect. We al
ready have damned thousands be-
yond rescue by forcing them to beg.
Our mistaken philanthrophy has
created a multitude Of moochers.
We can. not go on doing such
things without creating a social,
economic and moral problem which
will cost us ten times as much to
solve in the future as is required to
provide work for the present.
Neither can we afford to wait on
the hope that things viii be all right
here, once they are Strengthened out
in Europe. No matter what happens
over there, we have many readjust-
ments to make in this country.

Hard Winter Coming

TTAVING saved" Germany III
I'll this way, it would seem appro-
pirate for President Hoover and his
advisers to give some attention to
domestic problems.
Regardless of what happens IN
Germany. or Europe, there is every
indication that we Americans are in
for another hard winter.
Are we going to wait until the
snow flies and then waste TIME
ouarreling as to what should be
done, or show a little torehandeo-
ness?
Are we going to stall with char
ity drives forced on us at the
eleventh hour, or face the music
nan-fashion, and give the people a
chance to help themselves?

Editor Times-Since The Times
always is interested in helping the
citizens Of our city, and especially
the less fortunate ones, I would like
to bring to your attention one phase
where I believe your paper, in CO.
operation with the police depart
ment, can do some real service.
I have in mind protection against
foraging on the numerous truck
gardens that the unemployed have
planted throughout the city. We
have, surrounding our factory, con-
siderable acreage which we allowed
four or five men to cultivate.
They have been working hard ever
since spring on their gardens, and
now, when it is about time to reap
the benefits from their labors, the
children and adults Of the neigh
borhood come along and steal the
crops. This roos the deserving gar
dener of his labors and probably will
make him go hungry this winter.
I thing that the police and your
paper should use every means to
protect these deserving men who are
counting on their gardens to bring
them through the winter ahead.
hope something can be done
about this, and thank you for your
cooperation in this matter.

Cancer

TTNHE most recent guess about
Il cosnnic rays is made by DR..
John Jolly.
DR.. Jolly suggests that an increase
IN cancer may be due to a falling
on in the intensity of cosmic rays.
According to our best knowledge
today, cancer is a condition in which
the cells Of the body begin to grow
wild. Apparently, some restraining
influence is suddenly lifted and the
cells grow all out of proportion to
their normal state.
Apparently, DR.. Jolly thinks that
in some way the cosmic rays act
as an influence to restrain cell
growth and that lessening of such
an influence would result in an in.
crease of wild growth or cancer. .
While his theory is interesting.
the reader must exercise caution.
First of all, am not sure that
there is any proof Of an actual in
crease in cancer or any of the dis
eases which attack people in later
life, such as heart disease.
The advance of medicine has cut
down the infantile deaths and the
deaths in early life from contagious
diseases. Since more people live
to old age, there is bound to be an
increase in the diseases of old age.
Secondly, I do not believe that
suttlclent evidence has been ac-
cumuIated about cosmic rays to saw
whether their intensity is increasing
or decreasing.
Origin Of the cosnnic rays still il
a mystery. Many scientists think
that they originate in the far cor
ners OF the universe in distant ne
ouiae where atoms Of matter are
coming into existence. The ravs.
they think, are by-products of this
process. '---'

Life-GiYing

DHYSIOLOGISTS, of course, hays
l. shown the direct connection be-
tween the energy Of living creatures
and the food which they consume.
In general, there is no mystery
here.
But this process, known tech
nically as metabolism, does not tell
the. whole story A good example
is the case Of the vitanins.
Apparently, the living organism
does not function properly without
them. One theory is that the vita
Minis are little storehouses of energy
needed to make the larger process
of metabolism complete They are
like triggers which set off a gun.
The organization of the cells,
which compose living organisms, is
extremely complicated. The fine
structure, it is felt, proceeds to a.
point far beyond the power of the
most powerful microscope and into
the real of the atom itself.
Perhaps here there are minute
processes which make possible the
more apparent functions of the cell
and make possible the ordinary and
observed phenomena of life.
A somewhat similar suggestion
has come recently from Sir James
Jeans, famous British astronomer
and secretary of the Royal Society.
But Professor Jeans does not
know whether the cosnnic rays are
helpful or harmful.
He simply raises the speculation
that perhaps they. are necessary to
life and that perhaps they are the
lethal factor which introduces the
downward half of the life cycle.

Connection BetlOeen Life and

rs there a connection between the
L mysterious cosnic rays and the
phenomena of life? This is ques-
ton capturing the imagination r
many men of science.
The existence of these rays was
confirmed a few years ago by DR.. r.
A. Milliken. famous physicist of
Pasadena, Cal, and Nobel prize win
ner.
His experiments demonstrated
that these rays, a thousand times
shorter than the rrost penetra+'--r
rays of radium, continuously were
bombarding the earth from outer

first heard the suggestion that
there might be some connection be-
tween life and cosnic rays made by
Professor Michael Pupin, famous
inventor and professor at Columbia
university.
Professor Pupin hazarded the
guess that some day experiments
might show that the energy Of life
came from the cosnic rays.

Editor Times-One hardly can
read the news of the day without
a complete feeling of disgust.
In one column we find a former
cabinet officer sentenced to prison
for year and a day. His offense
nothing short of treason, an Of
fense that should be dealt with by
the firing squad or complete ban
ishment from this country
Then in another column, a 49,
year-old boy banished from his
home and his county. Finally SEN
fenced to serve an eight-year term
in prison. Certainly the work of
hot-headed judge and a decided
miscarriage of justice.
Can one really expect to convince
even himself that there is such a
thing as justice? Why not handle
the boys father for not giving the
proper parental care to his son?
That appeals are made to our
honorable Governor is even more
disgusting. How can any one expect
consideration from an executive
who will spend the peoples money
for mansions, cleaning jobs and
what-not, and then have the nerve
to say that it is his money and he
will spend it as he sees fit?
A special session of legislature
should be called to irnpeach the
judge who has failed miserably in
his position. But it also would be
well to consider impeaching an
executive who not only fails miser-
ably. but betrays the trust placed
in him by the people of his state.
Such actions Of judges and Gov
ernors should stir the ire of every
citizen of this state. 1t is time that
they were demanding explanations.
Must we continue to be at the brunt
of the criticism given us by the
other forty-seven states? Are we
going to be pointed out as a state
that miscarries justice, such as Cali
fornia has done with Mooney and
Billings?
