Did his hear beat with admiration and love for
the feminine? Did his chvaric emotions fill his soul?
Probably not.
IT is likely that he had palpitations however from

see the smile he managed to muster at every fresh
knee stretching. 1t must hav been great relief when
he found himself free again and in place where
the social amenities were not practiced so rigdly.
Just why We go expecting these monkey like

most ridiculous nonsense.
1t was foolish enough when men and women did
not work and play together, but now that there is
almost complete comradeship between the sexes it is
an absurd and cruel custom.

In the plants where hides are
handled, every employee with any
boil, pimple or bruise on the skin
Immediately should report to the
physician for examination.
To prevent spread of this dis
ease to people outside factories or
tannerieS where hides are handled
it is recommended all waste water
or sewage from such factories be
distinguished thoroughly before per-
nitted outside the plant.
Because of the possibility that
anthrax germs may infect the
lungs directly, it is recommended
that tanneries and wooden mills be
provided with proper ventilating
apparatus.
Finally the sale Of hides from all
animals infected with anthrax
should be prohibited.

VIII Profits Return2

Il VERY one believes that the de-
IL preston soon will be over as
far as idleness is concerned, but
are we justified in taking that to
mean a restoration of the profit,
dividends, and easy money which
went with postwar imitation?
We keep telling ourselves that
the depression resulted from world
wide conditions, that this country
neither brought it about nor was
able to stop it.
If that is so, worldwide condi-
tons are bound to exercise some in
huence on the future and should
not be ignored in making plans for
stabilizing government finances.

LIGHT Is AnaIYzed
A MOTHER innorfant nnes

A MOTHER important question.
L y as yet unsolved. is what is the
moon made OFF More exactly, the
problem resolves itself into what the
surface of the moon consists of,
since there seems little chance, at
this time, of penetrating the sur
face.
One of the latest theories ad-
vanced is that put forward by Lyot
Of the Meudon observatory near
Paris. Lyot thinks that the surface
of the moon is covered with a thick
layer of volcanic ash.
Lyot arrived at this theory by a
study of moonlight. Moonlight, Of
course, is sunlight reflected from the
surface Of the moon. Lyot tried re-
f1ecting sunlight from various sub
stances and analyzing the resulting
light to see how it compared with
moonlight.
He reflected sunlight from all
sorts of rocks-granites, sandstones.
chalks, etc. He also tried reflect
ing sunlight from different varieties
OF sands, clays, soils and the like.
He found that moonlight was like
none of these reflected lights. but
that 1t was almost exactly like the
light which was obtained when sun
light was reflected from volcanic
ash.
Since the surface of the moon is
covered with vast profusion of
craters which resemble extinct vol
canoes and which have, in the past.
been assumed by many astronomers
to be extinct volcanoes, Lyots
theory is not at all unreasonable.
The theory also helps to explain
other things about the moon.

Foreign CautiouSneSS

XXTHILE we proceed on the
w theory that commerce pres
emily will be rehabilitated, with
out considerable price or wage cuts,
and that we can depend on a re-
turn of old-tine revenues, other ma
lions appear to be taking an OPP
poSite view.
The German government is cut
ting prices, wages and rents by de-
cree, and Italy already has done so.
The English people just have elected
parliament for the express pur-
pose of reducing government ex-
penses by at least $5OO,OOOOOO a
year.
In other words, many countries
deliberately are cutting expenses,
not only to balance their budgets,
but to lower production costs to in
sure better break in foreign trade.

Violent Changes Certain

THE moon is subjected to ter
Il rifle changes in temperature be-
cause there is no atmosphere on the
moon. Consequently the moon gets
the full force of the suns rays in
the daytime. And at night there is
no atmosphere to hold in the heat
which was received during the day.
Drs. Seth B. Richardson and Edison
Petit of the Mt. Wilson observa-
tory made temperature measure
ments of the moon with a thermo-
couple. They found that the light
ed surface Of the moon had a tenn
perature of 1914 degrees Fahrenheit.
But when the moon entered the
earths shadow and the sunlight was
cut off from its surface, the tenn
perature fell to 152 degrees below
zero.
Now such violent temperature
changes ought tc cause the rocks Of
the moon to expand and contract
with resulting breaking and crum-
bling. Yet there does not seem to
be much evidence for that sort of
thing
Professor F.. r. Moulton writes in
his Astronomy" as follows: There
have been no observed changes in
the larger features of the lunar
topography, although from time to
time minor alterations have been
suspected"
This would be explained, perhaps,
if the surface of the moon was COW
cred with layer of volcanic ash.
For such a layer would act as an
insulation, preventing the heat from
penetrating to the rocks below.
A number of observatories are
now studying the question of the
composition of the moons surface.
The Carnegie institution Of Wash
ington has launched a joint study in
which the Mt. Wilson astronomers
are cooperating with the rock ex-
perts of the geophysical laboratory.

SCIENCE

The Noon, Earth's Closest
NeighbOr, Still Holds Mann
Mysteries Which Astrono-
n1ers Are Stirring to
SolUeS.
THE moon, our closest neighbor
l. in space and our constant
companion as the earth journeys
around the sun, is stin the hiding
place of many mysteries.
With the passing of years, astron-
omy has reached out to the far
corners of space. The Mt. Wilson
observers have succeeded in photo
graphing spiral nebulae which IRE
150.000000 light-years away. Theo-
retical astronomers are concerned
with such questions as the diameter
Of the universe.
But there are still plenty of prob
lens close at home and we have
to go only a mere 100000 miles
the distance to the moon-to find
many of them.
One of them, in all probability,
never will be solved until man
learns to navigate space by rockets.
1t is the question of what the other
side of the moon looks like.
The moon rotateS upon its Cwn
axis in exactly the same time that
it revolves about the earth. The
result is that it always keeps the
same face turned toward the earth.
We assume that the other side
looks about like the side we do see.
But we don't know.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1o.-As Presi-
IN dent Hoover pointed out in
transmitting it to congress, the
Mellon tax plan has one distinct ad-
vantage. Being a virtual reproduc-
ton of the 1894 revenue act, the
government knows exactly how to
put it into operation, while those
who have been paying taxes for
seven years, or more, know what to
expect.
Since the plan is offered as a
temporary measur, of relief, it
probably was wiser to reinstate an
old system than try new one. At
the same time, it might be just as
well to ask ourselves how far it is
safe to assume the transient char

larry with regard to income and

Guiding the Milwaukee Leader
which calls itself Socialist" pre-
sent La F'ollette's proposals as
something revolutionary, something
novel, something unique in the
United States.
1t is possible that a La Toilette
may ask for more than the other
politicians, but this is due to the
pressure of the unemployed workers
who invaded the public hearings of
the interim committee and, who
through demonstrations, forced these
capitalists to talk relief.
We workers will not be fooled by
La Follette's legislative proposals. In
place of these public Works-forced
labor schemes-or fake unemploy-
ment insurance bill which may go
into effect two years from today
we indorse the demands of the ma
tional hunger marchers.
These are unemployment in
surance at the full expense of the
rich; $3.50 winter emergency relief
and $50 additional for each de-
pendent.
These funds are to be distributed
by the unemployed councils with no
salaried employees and will be used
as in the community chest and it's
auxiliary branch organizations.
In plain words, the men or women
in the councils will not be paid any,
thing for their work, except to draw
their allotment of the fund as
specified above.
If an employed worker is used, he
shall not draw from the insurance
fund for his own benefit except
when he becomes unemployed.
r. M. S.
Editor Times-I would like to see
the Community Fund money really
spent for charity this year, as it
surely is needed if it ever was. If
the Y. M. G. A. and the Y. w. c. A.
are Christian organizations, as they
claim to be, let them not accept
this money this year.
The Wheeler Rescue Mission and
the Salvation Army do several times
the charity work the Y. M. G. A.
and the Y. w. G. A. combined do,
with far less money. The really
big job of relief must come through
the Family Welfare Society, and it
needs far more than it gets, just
because other agencies dip their
hands in and deprive the needy
and helpless Of proper aid.
The mental lethargy of our peo-
pie, the uninterested attitude of
those who ease their consciences
with contributions, is what makes
it possible for the Y. M. G. A., the
Y. w. c. A., the Boy Scouts and
several other n-charitable organ
izations to get funds which should
go to family relief.
Is there no man with courage
enough and love Of justice enough
who will demand a change in this
years appropriation Of funds to see
that the needy really get relief?
