AS individual incomes Of a few men reached the
highest point they ever have reached during 1929. these
men did not reinvest their money in new enterprises
and create more work. The.reason was that the prod
ucts they were making in the enterprises they al
ready had couldn't be sold. And the reason for that
was that they themselves had almost all the money.

had none.
Unless DR.. King is ready to guarantee that his mil
Ionaires will keep on investing their and run
ming their factories on a charitable basis, his whole
argument tumbles down at this point. We have the
conditions he postulates and it hasn't worked as he
expected. What is more, it never could.
It's hardly necessary to discuss the rest Of DR..
Kings thesis in behalf of the very rich. He'll find
few in America to agree with him that for concen-
trated wealth to make a few men self appointed
rulers Of the people" is a b~eneficent scheme.
He'll find many to challenge his statement that the
people derive great benefit from estates of the
wealthy, maintained as parks for the people. Such an
estate does not come to mind at present. On the
other hand the great -arks-Centra park, Lincoln
park, Rock Greek, Golden Gate, and a dozen others
have been made and are maintained by taxes taken
from all the people.

AS he says, aggregations Of wealth are necessary

they grow too large.

Panlpered Pets

A S a matter Of fact, I'm quite
"A sure that if Dr.. Bagley could
interview each and every gangster
or murderer in our prisons he would
find that more than rs per cent are
the children Of parents who were
far from lenient.
The majority of them have had
very little OF no schooling. They
were thrust out into the world at a
tender age and forced to make
their way without supervision.
1t seems to me that the fault rests
with our social system rather than
with our teachers.
Home environments and training
are much more important in shap-
ing a child's destiny than his school
life. OF course, it is very often
possible for a wise and kindly
teacher to rescue a child who is
headed on the downward path and
set him right. That is, if the vic
tim is taken in hand before he has
ventured to far into the labyrinth.
But for the most part children
receive their lasting impressions be-
fore they even enter school. It is
the very early years that count.
A child brought up in the slums of
a big city with the sordid aftermath
Of poverty constantly before him is
handicapped from the very start.
He is hemmed in and suffocated
by countless dark tenements, the
noisesome streets and pickering
families. In his small world one
street is exactly like another.
He doesn't know of anything diff
ferent or better. An SO almost i'm
mediately there is set up in his SUBJ
conscious mind a futilitarian atti-
tude.
I doubt that the replacing of al
our women teachers with men would
solve anything. It isn't discipline
that children need so much as un-
d~erstanding.

Il grudge Horse Doctor Doyle his
brief whirl with publicity. He may
deserve it and the public may get
as much out of it as all the four
and eight-column heads would
indicate.
They've got him in Jail anyway,
after a weeks dramatic struggle.
How long he will stay there is an
other question. First, an appellate
judge granted him a stay Of SEN
tence; then the full appellate court
said he wasn't entitled to it. Now
the court of appeals is going to de-
eide whether all the rs have been
dotted properly and all the Us

Universal.
TINE Sp~ectroscope, the great inter-

NENNN@OONORN bAAC 6ACab AAbCA -
l. stellar detective, has revealed
the existence of the universal cloud.
The spectroscope is a series of
prisms attached to a telescope for
turning the light of a star into a
little rainbow, or spectrum, as it is
called technically.
Laboratory experiments show that
each chemical element produces a
certain type of spectrum.
However, if the light which Is to
be analysed with a s-pectroscope first
IS forced to shine through a vapor
or gas, IRREGULARITIES are introduced
into the spectrum which depend
upon the Vapor.
DR.. Strive has found minute
peculiarities in the spectra of stars
which would indicate that their
light is coming to us through an ex-
tremely thin cloud of calcium
Doctors PlaSkett and Pearce find
evidence not only for calcium. but
Tor sodium vapor as well.
They believe, however, that the
universal cloud contains minute
traces of all the chemical elements
Ihere are theoretical reasons why If

Horse Doctor Doyle. If you do,

'SiIence Is Golden

Unable to tempt him with, offers
" of immunity, the committee
hailed Doyle into court, where he
was sentenced to thirty days in jail
for contempt. He's there now,
waiting to see what the court of
appeals will decide next Friday.
Optimists believe that the court
of appeals will affirm the sentence
and that, facing the possibility of
having it repeated just as often as
he refuses to come clesn," Doyle
will give the desired information.
If, however, that information is
as important as some people think,
he might earn good money by
keeping his mouth shut-such good
money, indeed as would make his
sojourn in Jail highly profitable.

way it typifies the modern view

H Doctor Doyle discovered that

The fact that he made $4,000, 900

The fact that he had to split
some OF that 100000 with other
people shows that he was not the

Al Space Is Filled With an
Extremely Thin Cloud, Ac-
cording to q NeW Theory.
BY DAVID DIETZ-

AW space IS ttt6U WtLH an
Extremely Thin Cloud, Ac-
cording to q NeW Theory.
THERE is no such thing as empty
space! This is the startling
conclusion to be drawn from a series
Of brilliant researches by astron-
omers in three nations-the United
States, Canada, and Great Britain.
For centuries. astronomers have
pictured the universe as q great
ocean Of empty space. in which
foated the stars and other astro-
nomical objects.
According to the new theory, all
space is filed with a cloud. 1t is an
extremely thin cloud, however, hav-
ing a density lower than that of the
so-called vacuum which exists in a
radio vacuum tube.
But no matter how thin the cloud
is, 1t nevertheless means that con-
ditions in the universe are radically
different from what astronomers
heretofore have thought them to be.
The theoretical groundwork of the
new view of the universe was laid
by Professor A. S. Eddington, IA
nous astronomer of Cambridge,
England. The first observational
work to verify the theory was done
by DR.. Otto Struve of the Yerkes
observatory of the University of
Chicago.
Dr.. Strive is the great-grandson
of Wilhelm Strive, one Of the
founders Of modern astronomy. Re

physical observatory in Canada by
