DESCRIBING the present situa-
- ton as capitalism's full and
final test" Nicholas Murray But
Ter, president OF Columbia uni
versity, warns industry that it must
shoulder the task of guaranteeing
workers greater security.
He thinks we may have to adopt
state insurance to make the pro-
gram complete and workable, but
opposes federal insurance which, he
fears, would lead to the dole and
convert us into a nation of self
made beggarS."

to show a united front in favor of

He has leaped belatedly upon a

mater of steady, profitable work
for everybody and that the con-

quite as important as the produc-

How to get people back to work

this problem played a conspicuous

Thirty Astronomers


THE new program mapped out
Il by DIP Shapley will include the
use of ten Photographic telescopes
and the services of thirty astron-
omers.
All the work will not be done in
this country. Since the southern
hemisphere must be included in the
study, much observational work and
photographing will be done at the
Harvard observatory's southern sta
ton at Bloemfontein, South Africa.
1t is interesting to compare DR..
Shapley's plans for survey of the
universe with the first survey ever
made.
The first survey represented the
efforts of one astronomer, the ia
nous Sir William Herschel. Sir
William had only one assistant, his
faithful sister, Caroline.
There are few stories in the an
mails of astronomy interesting or
more appealing thar that of the
HerScnelS.
William Herschel was born in
Hanover, Germany. His father was
the oboe player in a military. regi-
ment and he raised his son to be a
musician.
At II, William became oboist in
the Hanoverian guards. But the
military life made no great appeal
to the boy and two years later he
ran away from his regiment and
settled in EngIa Id. He was of
course, guilty of deSertion. but later
in life received an official pardon
for the act.
In England, he became first
bandmaster and later an organist.
He spent his spare time studying
mathematics, optics, Italian and
Greek. Finally, he became inter-
ested in astronomy That was the
turning point in his career.

I WAS taken to task severely by
4 several correspondents because
OF my criticism of Shaw's Russian
reports. That was hardly surprise,
Tor Shaw is a mighty man and the
Soviet republic is riding on the crest
of the wave. \
But it annoyed me a little that 1
should be classed as an ultra-con-
sentative taking a kick at an I'M
popular cause. The fact is quite the
other way around. Parlor Com
munlsm is among the most popular
of indoor sports at the moment.
Theodore Dresser and most of the
successful American writer's who go
in for society and salons are COM
plete converts to the new philosophy,
that Sis, right up to the point of
taking on party membership.
Of course, it was not Stain, but
Mussolini, who blazed the trail.
Democracy has few defenders
among articulate publicists today. A
sort of panic is byproduct of the
depression, and from every quarter
we hear cries for the abolition of
ancient liberties and the establish
ment of dictatoria1 rule.
Baseball and the movies have
both gone in for commissars. And

other industries could be better

Folly of Nonrecognition
THERE is, of course, an utter
i lack of logic in the state de-
partment's refusal to recognize
Russia. In the beginning we I'M
dertook to explain our hesitancy
to establish diplomatic relations on
the ground that here was land
where no responsible leadership had
been established.
BY now there is small mystery
concerning the fundamental facts
of Russian life. The literature avail
able here is enormous, and most of
it is favorable.
There can be no question today
that the Russian government is one
of the most stable in the world.
The constant talk of Soviet propa-
gandiSts about the danger of foreign
intervention is the merest moon.
shine. Naturally they mention the
fact that America actually did land
troops after Russia withdrew from
the war.
1t is also possible to point to the
expeditionary forces led by Kolchak
and by Wrangel. In point of actual
years, these episodes are not far re-
moved from the present day. But in
true time, they are centuries out of
date.
There is no power or combination
of powers which would have. the
slightest chance Of making a dent
in the Russian military machine
now. That goes for tomorrow and
as far as the eye can reach.

WHAT with vacation days re-

q rush. Whether it is the tiny tot

the schoolgirl of twelve or fourteen

in her teens or the sophisticated
and ambitious coed, it is clothes,
clothes, clothes which they are all
talking at the present moment.
About the most important thing
to keep in mind in regard to this

ly charming wooden weaves are

as chiffon.
To satisfy the fastidious young

they wear have to be conspicuous
ly good-looking these days which
is exactly what they are, according
to the models in this picture. One
can see by the frock posed to the

This set is about the right size
for home play. For outdoor or nur-
sery school play we use larger sets
some of them as large as packing
boxes. A flight" wood is the best
material, particularly If it does not
splinter easily. Some of the hard
woods are too heavy for the large
size blocks.
In making a set of wooden blocks
be sure that each piece is a null
tiple the other; that is, the long
piece should be two or three times
the length of the cube, the smaller
piece exactly one-half the size of
the cube etc. This makes it possible
to build houses with windows in
them, towers etc. Such a set made
at home, attractively vanished OF
painted, makes an excellent pre-
sent.
Most Of the commercial blocks
on the market are too small. The
youngster under five wants to pile
things up for the sake Of knocking
them down, and the sociable five
year old wants to use his large
muscles and build houses and
trains large enough for several of
his companions to be working on
and climbing into or on. Five
year olds like to make things to-
gether and to build big things.
For the older child who uses blocks
to dramatic his play, the smaller
blocks which require only the use
OF the smaller muscles are all
right. The younger child Is encour-
aged to sit too quietly when play

ing with very small blocks.
For home play, indoors in crowd
ed quarters, the small stone or
stone composition blocks are good,
for they are made so accurately,
they pile easily. and they last in
definitely.
Houses and tunnels and no end
Of glamorous things can be made
from ordinary wooden packing
boxes in the yard. Small, stout fruit
boxes with the covers nailed back
on for blocks, and the larger ones,
hollow for cubes, may not look so
nice in the yard, but they are
treasure trove to the children in
the house. Large cubes that fit into
each other may be purchased for
outdoor play, and if space permits,
for indoor play also. The hollow
blocks we use In the nursery school
at the institute of Child Welfare
are 2x6x24 inches for the largest
hollow cube.
Before buying new toys, look
around at home. There is available
in every household much material
which has possibilities. Parents Of
ten discard, to avoid clutter, things
which would, at no expense, pro-
vide valuable experience to the
child. Every household needs a
trunk for the stage properties and
old linery that add so much to
dramatic play. Cartons and boxes,
wrapping paper, worn utensils
should be salvaged from the kitch-
en-. Parts from electric fixtures,
pipe, nearly exhausted batteries,
clock wheels and bits Of wire are
not " junk" to the boy, but furnish
the necessary stimulus to creative
actively. A load Of mill ends sand
will keep the child happy and busy
longer than larger amount of
money put into toys.

Blocks and Building TOYS


When children build a fortress
out of packing boxes, they are
building, though they do not know
it, muscular skills and habits of
workman ship through trial and
error learning.
Playing with materials should be
bought or made with this in mind.
Children who are busy construct
ing something have not much time
for aimless fooling, for teasing or
quarreling.
Tinker toys, Meccano sets and
various-size building materials are
good" mechanical toys because
they make use Of the child's natur-
al desire to build things. But the
market today is flooded with
things that are wound with a key
and leave nothing for the child to
do but sit back and watch them.
The result Of lavishing playthings
of this sort on a child Is often
disappointed adult, an "ungratefup
child who took the toy apart to see
what made 1t go, and a heap of
Junk. OF course these toys do furn-
ish no end Of entertainment for the
adults in the family, but were they
