SCIENCE
In Astronomy Mankind First
Discovered E gist g nee of
of Natural La1Os and Real
lied Their Importance.
BY DAVID DIETZ-


ized Their Importance.
ATABURIANNU and Kidinnu.
~ Mysterious sounding names.
They look like candidates for cross
word puzzles or the closely guarded
passwords of some secret order.
They are in reality, however,
names to which all of civilization
owes a debt.
The present day is an age Of SCI
ence. The Oldest of all the sciences
is astronomy. 1t was in astronomy
that mankind first discovered the
existence OF natural laws and real
lied that events happen according
to them. Many authorities feel that
the other sciences would have been
delayed for centuries If it had not
been for the realization Of the ex-
istence of natural law which came
from astronomy.
We owe a debt therefore to as
tronomy for all our applied sciences,
medicine, for example, and the va
rious branches of engineering. We
owe a particular debt to the pio-
neers of astronomy, the great minds
who laid the foundations Of the
study of the heavens.
And that is why civilization owes
great debt to Naburiannu and
Kidinnu. For they are the Oldest
astronomers Of whom we have any
record.
They lived in ancient Chaldea.
While it has always been known
that the Chaldeans made some as
Economical observations, the general
feeling has been that astronomy as
serious subject got its start in
Greece.
This view is now known to be
wrong. There were serious and i'm
portant astronomers in Chaldea and
BabVlOnia

Limitations

TINE D. A. r. has outlived its
a usefulness, if it ever had any.
The organization. was conceived, I
believe, to keep alive that spirit of
liberty and freedom for all ~for
which its fathers fought. But it
is obvious that to the Daughters
liberty means only freedom from
English tyranny. We have that.
But liberty, in its broadcast sense,
we have not yet achieved. And if
the D. A. R. has anything to do
with it we never shall achieve it.
I mean the liberty of any individual
or group of individuals to criticise
and suggest remedies for those
phases of our government which do
not seem to them good enough for
a liberated nation.
Revolution is the act of revolt
ing against an existing condition,
against oppression. AS long as the
world survives there will be revo-
lutionS of one kind or another
not necessarily bloody-to free the
masses from the tyranny of the few.
The D. A. r. seems to feel that,
since we have won the right Of self
government, there is nothing more
to be desired. They are sublimely
oblivious to the plight of millions
OF people who are without work or
food or shelter.

however, the bureau says. in domestic service
Girls working in private homes are being paid as low
as SIS month. and the average is $40.
Wages OF women factory workers have also been
reduced" says the report, but the reductions are
harder to trace due to the fact that piece work is
increasingly replacing fiat weekly wage for I'M
skilled factory operations
There Is nothing more likely to promote morality
and self-respect among women workers than living
wage. There is nothing which will more surely drive
them into devious ways than starvation salary

Common Honesty

TT may sound like sermonizing,
L but before we get out of this
mess, whether as represented by the
Mooney Billings case in California,
or the Seabury probe in New York,
we are going back to a more or
less primitive conception Of COM
mon honesty.
If our inventive genius has pro-
duced some rather useless and
dangerous devices in the field of
mechanics, it has done likewise in
the field of politics and law.
1t all goes back to a belief in
ideas, rather than ideals.
Courts are technical, stunts are
common, wisecracking becomes uni
versal and taxes go up. No matter
how dark the prospect, or compli-
Gated the problem, some one is al
way ready with a bill for the other
fellow to buy and take.

of the Investigators, said that he
had had trouble with a man, named
England. down at Durant, Oklaho-
