1909: Calico built his first little
telescope and turned it upon the
heavens, discovering the mountains
Of the moon, the phases Of Venus,
and the four moons Of Jupiter. Up
to that day. no man ever had
seem more OF the heavens than
could be seen with the naked eye.
BY his discoveries, Calico con-
flrnled the Copernican theory.
1928 William Harvey of London
demonstrated the circulation of the
blood. He founded modern physi-
ology, the science of bodily func-
ton, just as Vesalius had founded
modern anatomy, the science OF
bodily structure.
1861 Robert Boyle, one of the
founders Of the Royal Society of
London, held the methods Of the
alchemists up to scorn and estab-
lished modern chemistry with the

titled, in the spelling of his day,
THE Skeptical Cnyn1ist."

Paw Checks Roll In


WE owe something to this de-
wv preston. It has made us
realize the cost of crooked politics, if
nothing else.
The trouble is that public officials
have not felt the pinch of hard
times like other people, though it is
only fair to say that most Of them
had sense enough to appreciate this
fact.
Public officials have drawn the
same old pay check right along,
with lower prices gradually in
creasing it's value. Quite a few of
them, like Mayor Walker, have been
given substantial raises.
Except as they are blessed with a
serious conception of duty, why
should they suppose any change has
taken place, or that this general
cleanup drive amounts to more than
a passing fit of reform brought on
by political tricksters2
They shouldn't, and they don't. It
is extremely doubtful if Mayor
Walker thinks he is up against any,
thing more than the same old OPP
position.

Where Is the Man?

TINE situation in New York is not
1 local. nor will the way it is
settled be confined to local effects.
Many small cities and about all the
large ones face exactly the same
problem.
People are not deceived as to
what has happened, but they are
bewildered as to what should, or can,
be done about it. They lack leader
ship
They have no one capable Of
coping with the gangsters and po-
litical bosses who have formed an
alliance around the treasure chest
provided by bootlegging. Ali they
ask is just one sign that such a man
is available.
The people have watched and
waited hopefully to see If Chicago
could not produce such man. Now
they are watching and waiting for
New York.

Public Grows Bitter

DUBLIC feeling with regard to
l. this question Of corrupt politics
is growing tense and bitter. No one
can travel across the United States
without being aware of that.
Look at the number of savage
laws which either have been pro-
posed, or adopted, this winter; lis
ten to the kind of talk that is APP
plauded, and you can have no Illus
Sions as to the depth, or breadth
of popular reaction.
Where one person refers to the
depression as just cause for alarm
dozen refer to the crime wave
racket and their effect on politics
How long can it last, they want to
know, and have we sunk so low that
we can't find leader who dares
tackle it without gloves?

~ Walker could save himself and
every one else concerned 2 deal Of
trouble by resigning. but the chances
are ten to one that he won't. Men
of his temperament seldom DO.
He has wisecracked himself out
Of too many tight places to believe

.honored power Of Tammsny to pro-
tect its marionettes.
The whole performance Is ridicu-
lous, as Mayor Walker sees it, and
why not? Hasn't he put it all over
New york for six years, and wasn't
he vindicated by one Of the great
est ma orities ever given a mayor
after four of them?

It's waste of time to blame this
brilliant buffoon for feeling as he
does. He wouldn't he himself if he
felt otherwise.
New York has changed, chiefly,
one regrets to say. because its cir
cumstances have changed, Mayor
Walkers circumstances have not
changed. not in the same way, at
least, and there you are.

 In Radio Broadcasts

OXFORD, England, Feb. 13.- Broadcasting under the English sys- tenn has it's perils for music, be- lieves Dr. John B. McEwan, prin- cipal of the Royal Academy of Music.
 With proper direction the radio could have only beneficial effects cn both the art and the artist, he told the society of musicians here.
 But unless adequate safeguards are provided, he added, there is danger of degeneration.
 England's radio is. semi-official monopoly and it was it's bureau cratic dangers to which Dr. Me- Ewcn largely referred.

TAILOR NVENTS
 CORK JACKET

Braddock, Pa-(UP)--Some Uni ted Sates seaman may some day owe his life to the work and in- ventive genius of Braddok tailor, whose own fear of drowning led him to develop a new life preserve ing coat.
 Steve Gates, tailro here for 25 years, worked for years to perfect such a coat. Many times he failed. but each time the though of his own narrow escape from drowning spurred him on.
 In developing the coat Gates tried cory in various forms-cork blocks, dust and so forth-but they did not have the buoyant properties he sought. Finally he began experi- menting with cork shavings as a base and found they worked admir- ably.
 The coat, resembling an ordin- ary sleeveless jacket from the in- side, is fitted with four tubular att tachments containing the cork shavings on the outside. The coat was tested successfully by Gates. who canot swim, and others, and in a dead weight test supported a 200-pound block of steel for "A hours.
 Through the efforts of Congress man Clyde Kelly, the U. s. navy now is experimenting with the new jacket.

State Board Tries

 of LOngshOremen

Boston. Oct 9-(UP)-Edward Fisher, chairman of the state board of conciliation and arbitration, took initial steps to effect an agreement between striking dock workers and ship operators late yesterday fol- lowing visit from a committee of the Boston district longshoreman's council.
 Fisher will attempt to bring both sides together for a conference.
 Union freight handlers, at Pier 4. East Boston, have announced that they will not handle cargoes unloaded by strikebreakers. It was believed that freight handlers in South Boston and Charlestown might follow suit.
 Joseph P. Ryan, president of the International Longshoreman's As sociation, who broke with the local union leaders after failure of the conferences between the contesting sides, declared before leaving the city that drastic measures would be taken against the Boston men.
 The strikers have refused to fol- low suit with New York longshore- men in accepting a reduction in pay for Sunday, holiday and meal hour-work and Ryan believes they should.

WELDING NOW
 USED IN BUILDING

Pittsburg, Pa-(UP)-The Anti noise crusaders in American cities, seeking to cut down the nerve wracking clamor of the steel age, may view with pleasure a report of the American Welding society, showing that one persistent of- fender--the riveter--may become extinct as the dodo.
 An increasing number of Ameri- can cities of 25,000 or more popu- lation are changing their building codes to permit construction of such work through special permits.
 Development of arc welding is believed in part responsible for the recognition of this form of con struction in building codes. More than 100 cities of 25,00 to 250,000 have adopted the welding code either in whole or in part.
 Tn addition, 54 cities have per mitted limited use of arc welding some of them authorizing 1t in municipal construction.
 First use of arc welding in build ing construction was made by the Westinghouse Electric and Manu- featuring company in building It's sharon, Pa, plant in 1926.
