About That | aW

THE second law of thermody-
L namics states that energy tends
continuously to run from HIGHLY
concentrated and useful forms to
widely scattered and useless forms.
In every machine there is friction.
friction wastes energy by turning
1t into heat which is dissipated into
the atmosphere.
The same sort of thing is he
lieved to be going on through the
universe. The stars have huge
stores Of energy within themselves.
But they continuously are radiat-
ing this energy away into space.
some years ago DR.. Millikan con-
tlrmed the existence of cosnic RAYS.
These are rays thousands of times
shorter than the shortest rays of
radlum. They enter the earth's at
mosphere from outer space.
At the meeting in Rome DR.. Mil
llKan told of experiments per-
formed during the summer bv both
himself and DR.. Arthur H. Comm
ton, which confirmed his previous
opinion, namely, that the cosnic
rays 90 not originate in the sun or
the stars of the Milky Way. but en-
ter our region of space from the
more remote corners of the uni
verse.
Jeans and Eddington insist that
the cosmic rays like other forms of
energy from the sun or stars rep
resent the breakdown and disinte-
grafton of matter, that they merelv
are one more evidence of the on
Grafton OF the second law of Their
modynamics.
But Millikan maintains that the
cosmlc rays are far too short IN
originate except as by-products NJ
a process by which matter is crea-
TED anew from spent radiation
therefore, he sees a denial IN the
universal reign Of the second law
Oh thermodynamics in them.

00Dh0IeS for Nations

TN America, we have learned what
i havoc loopholes can play with
the law. Does any one suppose it
will be different when the law is
applied to nations?
Just now all the international
lawyers are in most constructive
mood, but wait until the system gets
down to business.
During the war, several revolu-
tions we're Matched deliberately to
help the allied cause, which estab-
fishes a pretty good precedent for
the future.
+ The cry for independence and
self-determination seems likely to
play big part in human affairs
from now on, and some of it is 60
ing to be manufactured by govern
ments that are 100 per cent loyal
to the League of Nations, the world
court and the Kellogg pact.

Independence Next

A S Phil Simms points out, Japan
"A practically has won the strug-
gle for Manchuria. All she needs
now is some clique to set up a gov
eminent and declare independence.
The clique is reported not only to
have been formed, but to have mob
ilized an army of some $4,000 men.
Unless all signs fail, you are going
to hear quite a bit about it in the
near future.
1t will deny all connection with
Japan, presenting itself as a move
ment for liberty, order, democracy,
human rights, self-expression and
all the other things supposed to go
with an honest effort to improve
conditions.
Statesmen who find themselves up
tree will yell, "Trickery!" but what
can they do about it?

Whenever our married womer
learn to step graciously out of the
business world and take their prop
er place in the home, using theit
grace, charm and ability to make ii
a living, thriving institution, we
will end unemployment, crime, di-
vorce and all the accompanying
abuses of this artificial life. Oul
children will have the real cultural
background that will make them
worth while citizens.
Our homes and children will be
happier and better cared for. Wages
will be higher No one is asking
them to give up work they like, as
any talent or ability they have may
be applied to social, charitable and
educational purposes.
They may give 5heir time freely
to social, educational and philan-
thropic work and give to the world
far more than the dollars and cents
value Of the commercial world.

Editor Times-The time has come
around again for a Community Fund
drive. Every one who can, will be
asked to give and we sure will need
it. So let every one give who can,
especially the wealthy employer
class who made their money of
working people now out of work.
SO give. everybody, and as all this
money will be needed for poor re-
lief and not to pay fat salaries, then
have it plainly and absolutely
understood that all money collected
will be turned over to the police and
firemen relief fund or the Salvation
Army, or both.

Japan'S Strategy

IT Asst Saturday it looked like war.
H Three days later it looked as
though M. BRAND and Mr.. Stimson
had all the wrinkles nicely ironed
out. Just now it looks like anything
you want to make of it.
Maybe we've all been too quick
IN jumping at conclusions. Maybe
Japan is not playing the kind of
game we supposed and that her
scheme is of such nature as would
make it very difficult, if not impos-
Siole, to block.
Certainly it is hard to believe that
Japan would be so crude as to un-
dertake the open conquest of Man
churia at this time, no matter how
badly she wants it or how definitely
she has made up her mind to get it.

The CRY for independence
and Self Determination
Seems Likely to Play a Big
Part IN Human Affairs.

NEW YORK, Oct. 22.-Stated
IN roughly, the railroads got
about one-fourth Of what they
asked. Even SO, they got enough
to increase their total net earnings
from s1O0,0O0,oOO to SIPS, 600, 900 an
nually. That's quite an item, all
things considered; much more than
many Of our great industries have
in sight
1t should be sufficient to prevent
wage cut, which is, and always
has been, the real bugaboo of the
situation.
Meanwhile. railroad stocks suffer
a decline, but whether because of
general disappointment, or a clever
~ timed bear raid, is something for
the financial sharps to argue about.

Revolutions Epidemic

HALF a dozen revolutionary gov
4 l. ernments have been recognized
during the last year.
That is a phase of the problem
with which we appear unable to
cope.
A perfectly good system has been
devised to reduce the possibility of
war between or among nations, but
when it comes to revolution we are
as much at sea as ever.
China has been in revolution for
twenty years and the civilized world
has not been able to do one thing
to stop it.

International Battle


THE battle over cosnic rays has
l. been an. international one with
DR.. Millikan, the great American
physicist, leading one army of opin-
ion, and Sir Arthur Eddington and
Sir James Jeans. the gerat British
astronomers, leading the other
The battle involves more than an
opinion over the origin of the cos
me rays. 1t includes a controversy
upon the fundamental nature and
fate Of the entire universe.
The view of Milikan is optimistic.
The view of Jeans and Eddington is
peSsimistic.
Millkan views the universe as =
going concern, in fact, a perpetual
motion machine. where spent
energy is gathered together again
and made available once more to
1.-THE universe running.
Jeans and Eddington view the
universe as a clock which is run
ming down. Some day. in their view,
it will stop ticking. To use another
metaphor OF Jeans, the universe
Is a sinking ship.
Jeans sees evolution upon this
earth carrying man higher and
higher. But, says Jeans, man is like
sailor climbing the mast of a sink
ing shipS The sailor mounts high
er and higher into the air, but the
ship, nevertheless, is going down.
Eddington and Jeans, and others
who hold the same view, base their
conclusion upon the second law Of
thermodynamics.
Millikan, so he told his audience
in Rome, believes that cosmic ravs
are more important than that law
since he holds that the energy of
the cosmic rays is greater than the
sum total of all other forms of en-
ergy in the universe.

you go about it that way, after hay

Wonderful as the peace-promot-
ing machinery which the world has
invented may be, it simply has no

Editor Times-My two children
and I recently returned from visit
to my parents in Massachusetts,. We
Travelled by bus, rail and boat, re-
manning in New York city a day,
going and coming. This was my
first trip to New York since prohi-
bition, and I was anxious to see
the regions formerly saloon in
tested.
We meandered down to the
wharves. In my past visits, we never
dared go there except in vehicle.
1t just seemed too good to be true,
that those dreadful saloons with
drunkardS shambling out or lolling
about were gone.
Coffee houses serving good mex
penSive meals are where some of
the saloons were formerly. We had
lunch in one of them. We saw no
drunkenness. In fact, the only time
we saw intoxicated men was on our
return trip, when he met a busfull
Of men we we're told were American
Legion men returning from a local
meeting in Ocean City. And yet
people dare to say prohibition is a
failure. What has happened to
their memory?
After this trip, I am more i'm
pressed than ever with our wonder
full country. What a privilege to be
citizen of the United States Of
North America.
I saw such fine cities, our own city
of indianapolis included, much
building Of roads and edif1ces, such
well-kept parks, and a general air
of prosperity in spite of the depres-
sion. was thrilled as gazed at it
all that our country was getting
ahead with no help from tax money
obtained from demoralizing sources
such as liquor and the like.
What our nation is doing other
nations will do. 1t is inevitable in
the one progress of civilization. We
are leading in this step forward as
we have led in other forward move
ments in our democratic form of
government and in freeing of
human slaves.
To be sure, we have undertaken
great tasks before, and won out,
growing stronger because of the
struggle. Surely we are not going to
back down because of self-interested
"wetS" or short-sighted citizens
misled by wet" propaganda.
We must not lose sight of the fact
that prohibition came as a result
of a great and growing need and
that need still is growing, as more
people drive cars and planes.

SCIENCE
BY DAVID DIETZ-

an AUt6f tCuft ELpbi tUtGNtN-
list Has Incited an Inter
national War Over the M
ture of the Universe.
A BATTLE between experimental
IA lists and theorists over the ma
ture of the universe is forecast by
DR.. Robert A. Mllikan's address on
coSmic rays before the international
meeting of physicists in Rome
Gable reports from Rome indicate
that DR.. Millikan, whose expert
ments in the Rocky mountains some
years ago confirmed the existence Of
the cosmic rays, again reiterated the
stand which he has taken in several
addresses In this country upon the
nature of the cosmic rays.
But in his Rome address he threw
down the gage of battle to the theo-
retical physicists who have dis
agreed with him over the nature Of
the rays.
Results of our experiments in
cosmic rays seem destined to infiu-
ence profoundly all theories of the
origin and destiny of the universe.
not only the present ones, but all
future theories" he said in Rome.
due credit must be given to the
fact that opening the door to this
amazing new knowledge is owing
only to the eXperimentalists.
Theorists always have been nu-
merous, especially in astronomy, and
they have placed great confidence in
their conclusions.
mo one, however, who speculated
upon the nature of the universe ever
foreSaw the existence of cosmic rays.
In fact, no one ever dreamed of
them"
In those words, it would appear.
DR.. Millikan is talking pretty plainly
to his critics.
