Science in History.
Manchester GuardianO


 Some men of science are inclined to be little "touchy" about the amount of attention which their own sphere of influence receives they cut- vate their garden with industry, and they are rightly jealous lest it's blooms should be over looked by the public. The usual charge is that the casscists the professors of the lteratures of Greece and Rome get than their fair share of attention, and science is starved by comparison But Dr. Charles Singer the President of Congress of Science and Technology meeting in Lon don is inclined to blame historians-he says that in one hstory-book which he consulted
 every battle was recorded from 1066 on-
 wards but Isaac Newton men,
 toned once, nor was any other scientist or
 any of those great scientific achievements
 which really mark the progress of the world It is probably to reply that it must have been a very bad history-book; it is to be feared that more historians than Greasy have proceeded on the assumption that fifteen decisive battles of the world are of importance than hundred advances in science and technology But it is only fair to point out that the of science are not neglected by one sort of history-or tradition Newton and the falling apple is as firmly fixed in the minds of the people as William the Norman at Hastings; in his own way Watt and the Kettle is as well known as Napoleon. Even those highbrow classical authorities were not altogether devoid of an interest in science, and such news of that kind as they thought fit to record has been imperishaby received. Archimedes jumping from his bath with the cry "Eurekai" looms very nearly as large as Achilles at the siege of Troy-and most people have heard of Euclid at some time or other. Ii the historians of that period paid relatively little attention to science it may have been because there was not much science to observe; obviously the warriors had it very nearly all their own way as history makers. But the balance is redressed now adays and serious history scarcely afford to overlook the fact.

ARMAMENT REDUCTION NECESSARY

Englands great Labor Prime Minister Ramsay Macdonald recently pointed out in speech m the Commons that notwithstanding all that has been done looking toward peace there has been no markeo reductions in the ornaments of Eourpean countries The expenditure of the principal European POW CTS on armaments is not it is true, as great as u was in 1914 but it is distinctly higher than it was five or six years ago. Since 1924 there has been an increase of nearly s5OO00 in the amount spent on the French navy while in the same period Italy has incerased her naval expenditure by $35,00oo0o In the last six years the cost of Frances army mas risen by over s10000o0OO and 1talys by more than s75 ooo o0o The statesmen of all the European countries never tire of expressing their devotion to the League and to the Permanent Court put their warlike preparations suggest that m theH hearts they still feel with Tom Paine that cannon are the barrsters of princes and that the sworo not of justice but of war, will decide their strife They can each others military programs as faithfully as they CODY one anothers pacific sentiments Already A new competition in armaments is growing up' and it is this danger which gives particular import ance to the forthcoming Disarmament conference. It's success is vital because failure to check this competition in arms would lead many to believe that all the work done at Geneva is vain, for If nations prepare for war they are likely to get war.
 Premier Macdonald declared that in disarmament is the only assurance of world peace but he said Great Britain has gone as far in that direction as possible as an example. He declared that she would insist that the other European countries would have to reduce and suggested that the reduction must be not less than twenty-five per cent
 The Manchester Guardian goes further than Mac Donald It thinks that England must take the leao England and the United States The Guardian continues:
 But it is not enough that we should be
 willing to disarm equally with other nations;
 it is important that we should take the lead
 in proposing a bold measure of disarma-
 ment The success of the Washington Con-
 ference-perhaps the one satisfactory ais
 armament conference-was due to the bold
 ness of Americas offer of naval limta-
 ton and the boldness of MT Balfours ac-
 ceptance It may be that the fate Of the
 Geneva Conference will turn on a similar
 imaginative stroke of policy Speaking at
 Vienna last week, Lord Cecil said that as
 far as the Conference is concerned he did
 not think we should be satisfied with less
 than 25 per cent. reduction in the cost
 of world armaments. That is very reason
 able suggestion, but it is one that is not
 likely to be put forward at the Conference
 with any hope of success unless by Bri-
 tain or America. In the debate last night
 5 both MT Baldwin and MT. Churchill rightly
The Daily Alaska empire., 1931-08-06

laid great stress on the importance of Russas army in the problem of disarma- ment. MT Churchill went so far as to say that 1t was not in the interests of Europe that the French army-the bulwark against Bolshevism-should be seriously weakened or that we should press 'unreasonably' for it's reduction MT Baldwin seemed to realize that these bulwarks of France and her allies are one of the causes of Russias ex- cessive armaments, for he urged Mir Mac Donald to do anything that he could to convince Russia of the security of her own position What argument could be more con- vincing than a bold disarmament proposal?

Less than two years ago Helene Madison, Seatte's swimming marvel, sixteen worlds records hang ing on the wall, of them hers Today all are hers but one. Martha Norelius still holds the mark for 1000 meters but Ray Daughters, Helenes in structor, says girl will take that in September at San Francisco.

The name of George Washing
ton is associated with almost
everything connected with this
nation at the time of it's first
years of independence, except per,
haps one.
In connection with the bicen-
tennial celebration next year in
honor of his birthday, the COM
mission in charge made known
today that the first President had
nothing to do with the first seal
of the United States.
Many Achievements
1t is known he had designed
the first flag for his army at the
siege of Boston. and had part
in planning the Stars and Stripes.
During the siege Of Boston he in
stituted the first attempt at a
United States Navy. West Point
owes its being to him. He seemed
to have thought of everything
that goes with the birth Of a ma
tion, but he overlooked the seal.
The bureau of information OF
the commission points out that
this accounts for the curiouSly
twisted and backward history of
that indispensable adjunct of ma
tional sovereignty.

lost to sight, that hardly was tie

Washington Had No Part
In Designing Seal

4. 1776, appointed a committee
to design an arms and seal for
the United Colonies.
First Design Rejected
In spite of the fact that this
committee consisted Of Benjamin
Franklin, John Adams and
Thomas jefferson. all men of
rare judgment and taste, the de-
sign they submitted to Congress
was discarded and the matter Of
q seal for the United States was
dropped for four years.
In 1880 Congress appointed an.
other committee to reconsider the
discarded design, only to discard
it again. Finally. in 1882, a third
committee was appointed to set.
tie the matter of a Great Seal.

DRY R|DICULES
BEER PLEA

The plea of August A. Busch for
a restoration of beer to provide
employment was hit today in a
statement by DR.. Eugene Craw.
ford, secretary of the Board of
Temperance and Social Service of
the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South. Crawford said:
"The proposal to permit the
manufacture Of beer as . move
ment to restore prosperity is
about as sane as the suggestion
one might make to an impOver-
tshed and unemployed family
that the way for them to regain
financial sOlvency would be to
make all the liquor they could
and drink 1t themselves in order
to get rich"
The employment increase with
legaliZed beer, he said, would be
in greater activity among under.
takers, grave diggers, insane asy.
lum guards, poor farm employees,
the hangmen, penitentiary war.

our personal belongings and then
90 out again to collect the rest Of
our outfit. Will you leave word
that we are to be passed in the
event that you are not here?"
I shall be here" said the man.
But what are you going to carry
into the back country2"
I'VE expect that we may have to
travel even beyond the furthest
boundaries Of Korsar, where the
natives know little or nothing of
The Cid and his authority, and for
this reason it will be necessary for
us to carry provisions and articles
Of trade that we may barter with
them for what we want, since we
shall not have sufficient numbers
IN our party to take those things
by force"
Il see" said the man; "but it
seems funny that The Cid does not
send muskets and pistols to take
what he wants rather than spoil
these savages by trading with
them"
Yes" said David, "it does seem
strange, "and the three pasesd out
into the street of Korsar.
Beyond the gate David and ia
turned to the right toward the mar
ket place, while Tanar crossed i'm
mediately to one of the shops on
the opposite side of the street.
Here he purchased two large bags,
made of wsll-tanned hide, with
which he returned Immediately to
the palace grounds, and presently he
was before the garden gate, where
he voiced a low whistle that was to
be the signal by which the girls
were to know that he arrived.

suppressed emotion as the Sarian
opened his arms and pressed her to
him.
