A Good Job Done Well

1T seems to me that Mayor Walker
L did good job and justified his
presence in California. At one point
he said, What difference does it
make, if you please. from what state
a man comes if he comes with
righteousness in his heart and JUS
tice as his end?"
would go even further than that
and say that as far as I am con-
cerned the motives of the mayor in
this adventure are not of prime i'm
portance.
It has been said, of course, that
Jimmy Walker craved the linelight
and that he hoped to increase his
political prestige and his popularity
with organized labor by espousing
the cause of Mooney. These theories
are sheer surmise.
From the point of view of realistic
political observers with whom I have
talked it seems difficult to identify
this crusade with the mayors poten-
tial political ambitions. Obviously
the Mooney case never is likely to
figure largely in a municipal elec-
tion here.
Nor is there any very definite
benefit which could be conferred
upon Walker if he planned to cam
paign as candidate for the United
States senate from the state of New
York next year.

Physics Wide Subject

~ J WV y ' ~ ~ ~ IOOt.
DR. R. A. MILLIKAN, famous
~ physicist, who verified the ex-
istence of the cosmic rays and was
the first to isolate the electron, likes
to tell story about physicists. Z
During the war, Dr. Millikan was
stationed in Washington as head of
an important department of the.
national research council.
One day, a high army officer
walked into Millikans Office with
a telegram from France from Gen.
Pershing. 1t requested that 100
physicists be sent at once to staff
headquarters in France.
"Millikan," said the officer, what
is physicist?"
The range of activity of the ply
sicist is as wide as that of the chem-
ist. So many physicists today ara
interested in the study of the struc-
ture Of the atom, that it sometimes
is taken for granted that atomic
physics constitutes the whole of the
science. But that is not the case. {
Many physicists are interested in.
the study Of sound waves, or hy-
draulic problems. or high potential
electrical currents, or aviation prob
lens, to name just a few.
The problems dealt with in the
average text book of physics include
the mechanics of solids, the me-
chanicss of liquids. sound. heat, light,
magnetism, electricity, the structure
of the atom, and the nature OF
electricity.
It will be seen therefore, that
physics is the foundation of all en-
gineering

PASS WAR DECLARATION
December Z

ON Dec. 7, 1917, the resolution
~ calling for a declaration Of war
on Austria Hungary was passed by
President Wilson.
Measures to prosecute the war
against Austria Hungary were
started at Cnce.
The Austrians took Monte Sise-
mol, but failed to break through
the italian line south of Gallo.
British forces occupied Hebron in
Asia Minor.
Finland proclaimed her independ-

Sunday, Dec. ., was the anniver-
sary of the sinking Of the U. s. S.
Jacob Jones, a destroyer, by Ger

Sixty-nine Officers and men were
reported lost.
The Jacob Jones was on patrol
duty. She was the first regular man

Proposition Too Big

IF It is right, or necessary to cut
L debts, we ought to cut them,
without an horsetrading If it is
not, we should insist on the existing
plan of settlement.
AS for disarmament, what good
can possibly result from buying, or
brow-beating European countries
into it if they are not honestly sold
on the idea?
World peace is too big a PROPOSE
ton to be put over with such deals

inc lodgment in the hearts of peo-
pie, there won't be anything real

Is Il Worth L

EORTY persons have lost their
L lives in connection with foot
bal this year; half Of them were
children. Many more have been
Injured or crippled. What is there
in the game to justify such sacri-
fee?
We must not raise our boys and
girls to be towards, of course, but
we should teach them that life is
too valuable to be swapped for
vanity.
There are occasions when it is
right to sacrifice ones life, or risk
sacrificing it, but they represent
something more serious than enter
tainment.

The French Contend

THE parley on war debts opens al
l. Basle. 1t is supposed to
formulate new reparations pro-
gram, but there is more than rep
arations to be considered.
Thus far, Germany has made rep
aration payments largely with bor-
roWed money which means that she
has contracted more debt.
The French contend that this debt
should be regarded as a second lien
and that English, American and
Dutch bankers, who have made
loans to Germany, should not ex-
pect to get their money until che
reparations account has been
squared.

Institute Formed

THE four societies named have
J. co-operated in the organization
Of the American Institute Of
Physics. DR.. Henry A. Barton. for
merly Of Cornell university, is direc-
tor of the new institute.
The institute is to serve as a sort
of clearing house in the world Of
physics. In some ways, its func-
tions will resemble those of the En-
gineering Foundation. which fills =
somewhat similar position for the
nations engineering societies.
The new institute will direct the
publication of the journals of the
various societies concerned. These
are seven in number The layman
would not find them easy or inter-
esting reading.
They run to complicated equs-
tions, long fomulae, graphs and
tables. But they are the nervous
system Of the world of physics, &C
quainting research workers with the
latest findings in their field.
The journals are The Physical
Review" Reviews of Modern
Physics" Physics" "The Journal
of the Optical Society,"" Review Of
Scientific instruments, - THE Jour-
nal of the Acoustical Society" and
"The Journal of theology"
The institute plans also to devote
attention to acquainting the general
public with the science of physics,
its new advance and their impor-
tance.
In this connection DR.. Barton
points out that the public today has
a much better understanding OF
chemistry than it has of physics.
Yet the foundation of mechanical
and electrical engineering, of such
marvels as the talking movie and
the radio, lies in the science of
physics.

Perhaps a Sincere Urge

TN my own opinion the California
L trip represents an honest urge,
touched no doubt with some Senti-
mental stirring in the heart Of a
man who is a little disposed toward
the romantic. After all, James j.
Walker was a song writer before he
became a city executive.
Yet the most important thing to
remember is that Mooney and not
Mayor Walker is on trial before a
court Of one. 1t seems to me almost
the ultimate height of injustice TO
favor keeping Mooney in jail simply
because you don't happen to like the
mayor of New York.
Nor is there any fairness in the
accusation that Walkers trip has
made it morn difficult for Mooney
and that his chance Of pardon would

Questions and
Answers

Where and how do Eskimo's bury
their dead?
When an Eskimo lies his rela-
tives cut a hole in the back of the
Igloo and take the body out that
way, sealing the aperture afterward
so that death will not come back tc
the home. They bury the body in
cave Or rocky place, leaving their
mittens, with which they handled
the body, at the crave. They oblit-
crate their footsteps so that death
can not follow them. Later they
take gifts of food and garments tc
the grave, again obliterating their
footsteps. In making these jour-
neys they go by circuitous routes
crossing a river or other body OF
water, if possible, so that death can
not follow their trail.
Do violins made by Stainer COM
mand as high price as those made
by Stradivarius? When did Stainer
make viOlins?
JacobuS Stainer, a German violin
maker, was born at Absam, Tyrol,
in 1921. At an early age he began
to make violins and subsequently
studied at Cremona, Italy, under
the best makers of his time.
Stainer violins are rare and COM
mand high prices, but do not rank
with the Stradivarius instruments

It's a Rotten WAY

WTHILE European countries hint
w that they would like to have
their debts to us revised downward,
we hint that we would like to have
them revise their armies and navies
downward.
Thus debt and disarmament be.
come associated in what seems to
be a hopeless snar1.
No one has come right out in the
open, stating the proposition in so
many words, but there appears to
be pretty good understanding that
we would cut debts if European
countries cut armaments.

SCIENCE

New Institute Is Organized
By Physicists to Serue as
Clearing House for Na-
tiondl Societies.
THE American Institute of Ply
i sizes is the newest member Of
the nations learned organizations.
Three veteran societies and one
very new one combined their forces
to bring into existence the vet
newer institute.
The veterans were the American
Physical Society. the American Op-
tical Society and the AcouStical So
ciety of America. The newcomer
was the American Society Of Rhe-
ology.
Don't look in the dictionary for
the meaning of theology" You
won't find it. The word is brand
new one, coined specially by some
scientific gentlemen to give the So
ciety a name. If you recall that
the Greek word "rheos" means
stream" it may give you a clew.
The American Society of Rhe-
ology is composed of engineers and
scientists who are interested in the
study of plastic flow"
This includes a wide variety OF
subjects, ranging from the behavior
of metals under high pressure or
at high temperature to the beha-
vior Of substances which are ordi-
narily plastic.
It is the sort Of subject which
does not make any great appeal to
the layman, but which is becoming
more and more important in indus
try.

There are many reasons for accept
ing this advice, the first and greatest,
OF course, being the opportunity to aid
and encourage our disabled at time
when such assistance and friendly in
terest will mean great deal to them.
Many of the disabled veterans are
dependent on the making of handicraft
articles, not only for daily occupation
to make endurable the monotony of
mi-invalidism and for pocket
money" but also for the actual sup
port of themselves and families.
There is the reason that in handi-
craft ships in the veterans hospitals
throughout the country and in those
maintained by the Auxiliary women
in various cities, notably Boston, Min
neapolis and Seattle, can be found the
loveliest things imaginable for gifts and
at prices way below the prices such
merchandise usually brings.
There is the very practical reason
that the times being what they are, it
is likely that the holiday season will
afford the best sales opportunity of
the year and it will be we'll to help the
veteran make the most Of it.
