Essentially Realistic

1T has been charged that many of
L the more modern students of
crime tend to sentimentalize the
criminal.
1t seems to me that the approach
which they suggest is far more real
iStic than the notion that an cleo
trio chair can be complete solvent
for a social problem.
Take the background of Crowley:
Slum-Ered, undernourished, under
educated, underpaid. Not every man
who goes through this will become
vicious criminal.
But I rather feel that may be the
way to bet. At any rate, no one will

Sun Spots and Radio

TT was a study Of radio conditions,
L begun some years ago, that led
DR.. Stetson to realize the influence
which the sun plays in the life of
the earth.
OF course, astronomers have re-
allied for some hundreds of years
that the earth is dependent for its
light and heat upon the sun.
1t has also been known for a good
many years that sun spots have
some influences upon magnetic
storms on earth.
Some years ago, DR.. StetSon, then
at Harvard university, and DR..
Greenleaf w. Pickard, the famous
radio inventor, began a study of
radio reception.
They found that radio reception
fuctuated with the changes in spots
on the sun.
Sun-spots go through a cycle,
reaching a maximum about every
eleven years. They found that
radio reception was worst when
Sun-spots were most numerous.
Their explanation is that when
spots are numerous on the sun. the
earth is bombarded with electrons
hurled out by the spots.
These in turn increase electrical
ton of the upper atmosphere of the
earth, thus lowering the heaviside
layer, the ionized or electrified
ceiling" from which radio waves
are reflected in their journey around
the earth.
When sun-SpotS are at mini
mum, the bombardment of electrons
slows down and the ceiling" rises.
Consequently, reception becomes
better.
More recently DR.. Stetson has
found that the moon also affects
radio reception. When the moon is
| above a station, reception from that
station is at it's worst.
When the moon is around on the
opposite side Of the earth. recep-
ton is at its best.

Times Readers Voice Their Views

Editor Times-Wly blame tariff
for our financial depression and for
unemployment? The large indus
tries are. the ones doing most OF
the kicking, are they not? The ro-
bot production plants. A tariff ia
vorable to that group of industrial
lists merely would merely result in
their expenditure Of a few millions
of dollars for new and additional
production machinery and the en-
ployment of few hundred addi-
tional men and women as operators
What per cent of our national
population would profit by the in
creased productions Would a tariff
favorable to that group also solve
the problems of the small or indie
pendent manufacturer Of Indiana
or Idaho? Or would he soon be in
worse shape than he is now?
Tariff is not the cause, and a re-
vision OF our tariff machinery car
not be the solution of the present
depression. The solution will be
found within reach Of each indivi-
dual, the working man and woman
of every community and state-not
merely a few cities in two or three
states.
AS soon as we workers, who also
are the largest buyers, realize the
need Of keeping more of our dol
lars in our own community ano

THE desire to sleep, particularly

When the desire to sleep comes
on without apparent cause at any
particular time, and when it is as
ISOLATED with pronounced or sud-
den loss of muscular power, which
may cause the person to fall, it is a
pathologic condition and demands
careful attention by physicians.
The recurring desire to sleep with

CoSmic Relations Is Nel0
Field for Scientific InUeSti-
CATION.
BY DAVID DIETZ-

COSMIC relations is the newest
~ field. In the past we have
heard much of domestic relations
and public relations. More recently
Yale university established an in
stitute of human relations. Soon,
however. the universe will be the
limit.
Or. Harlan True Stetson. director
of the Perkins observatory of Ohio
Wesleyan university. looks forward
to the days when universities will
have chairs of cosmic relations.
The point which DR.. StetSon
wishes to make is that our earth is
part of the universe and as such is
affected more by other objects in
the universe than sometimes is sus-
pected.

wagon to a star" he says. las

1900 REBELS ARE DECAPlTATED IN
 CHINA STREETS
Nationalist Armies Do Not Delay Long in Killing Their Enemies-Federal Forces Again Winning

Shanghai, China. April 2S.-(UP) The nationalist government an- nounced to-day that 1900 "commun- ists" had been captured and de- capitated after battle in Hupeh province.
 The announcement said that the menace of so-called communist armies in western Hupeh province had been ended by the successful campaign of government troops.
 The decapitations occurred after a smashing government victory in fighting in Hupeh province, the cen- ter of a vast interior region which has been overrun by bandits, brig ands and so-called communicate armies for many months. The term communist in China does not nec- essarily signify connection with the communist international, but is ap- piled to the outlaw armies which have aong roamed the interior and have been supplemented by thou sands of provincial residents when famine left them virtually no other way to gain food.
 Government troops of Gen. Chiang Kai-Shek. head of the Chi nese national government, were re- ported officially to have won an over whelming victory in an engagement with the armies of the communist, General Ho-Lung, who had been di- recting a serious campaign against important interior cities. where many foreigners have been in peril. Fate of the strategic city of Slang Yang at stake. Slang Yang, which Is on the Han river, is located some 175 miles northwest of Hankow
 Ho-Lung's forces were scattered and many killed. The leader fled with only the remnants of any army. the government report said.

 Ferrera's insurgents were said to provide a serious threat to San Pedro, although the attacking fed-- erals were forcing him to keep well back in the rought mountain region Government troops under General Francisco Valladares and General Jacobo Mejia were ordered to at- tack the rebel concentration at La Cumbre, but were unable to make contact with the withdrawing rebels.
