VxTANTED: An inspection device
w for testing welded joints.
When it is found, according to DR..
Ray c. Brumf1eld. professor of civil
engineering at Cooper Union, the
sound of the riveting hammer soon
will prove only a memory of the
past.
Professor Brumfeld believes that
welding will replace riveting within
five years after the invention of
such device.
In Professor Brumfield's opinion,
welding will prove more durable
than riveting in construction Of
steel skyscrapers.
1.-THE lack Of certainty as to the
quality of a weld after it has been
made is the stumbling block in the
way of the new method of joining
sections of STEEL" Professor Brum-
field explains. There is no ques-
ton of it's superiority over riveting.
1T is impossible to build a riveted

is being united, or for that matter
even as strong. In weld, the point
of union may be made stronger
than the plate itself"
This is illustrated in tests fire.
quently conducted for private con-
Germs in the Cooper Union labora-
tories. The riveted metal invariably
breaks at the joint, which is the
weak point. The welded bars, how
ever, usually crack and break at
some section other than the union.

TINE clearest picture of the
l. Mooney case and the most
convincing argument for his eX-
oneration have been made by labor
leaders bitterest enemy. Former Dis
trict Attorney Edward A. Cunha, re-
sponsible for the original conviction,
has announced that he is eager to
fight the issuance of pardon II his
services are called for by the state.
And Mr.. Cunha proceeds, accord
ing to report in the New York
Times, to outline the reason for his
opposition.
In this statement he makes not
a single assertion that Tom Mooney
is guilty of the crime for which he
has been imprisoned. Instead, he
advances an entirely different set
of reasons.
First of all, Mr.. Cunha says:
Mooney could have had a parole
some time ago, but he does not want
that. He has the idea that he is a
martyr of the Red government, and
he wants pardon so that there
will be no restriction on his Red
activities if he gets out of prison.
He pictures himself mounted on a
white horse with Red banner in
his hand leading the Red mob"

TINE digestive system includes the
L mouth, the throat, the esopha-
gus, the stomach, the small and
large intestineS.
The mouth breaks up the food
and contributes through the saliva
a substance that digests starch. In
the act of swallowing, the food
passes through the throat. The
esophagus apparently is just 9, tube
for transmitting food to the stom-
ach.
It is, however, a fairly long tube,
and if it becomes inf1amed or de-
velops ulcers of varicose veins or
any other type of disturbance, a
serious condition results.
Physicians who study the diseases
of digestion are convinced that the

Who'll Pardon the State2

I'm regard to the parole, it should
Il be pointed out that a release
under these conditions would not
be an exoneration. 1t would re-
quire the released prisoner to make
regular reports to officials and to
remain under constant check.
His sentence would be abrogated
only during good behavior. And bad
behavior would undoubtedly be in
terpreted as including radical ut
teranceS of any kind.
In other words, the state of Cal
ifornia has offered Mooney his
freedom only in return for recanta-
ton of political and economic be-
liefs. Under these circumstances it
hardly seems to me that Tom
Mooney is fantastic if he thinks of
himself as a martyr of the Red
movement" That is precisely the
position in which he sits.
Mr.. Cunha goes on to say:
"He has been called a labor
leader, and sincere labor people have
been hoodwinked into supporting
his cause. Copies of his own per-
sonal letters, signed with his sig
nature, which are in our possession,
show that he was a traitor to Or
ganized labor, that he and his asso-
ciates believed that organized labor
was an impeachment to their plans
and that they had launched an
active campaign to overthrow the
labor unions before Mooney was
arrested for first degree murder. -
This adds a second charge to the
accusation against Tom Mooney.
He is, according to Mr.. Cunha, a
revolutionist against the existing
economic system and also, which
follows inevitably enough, a foe of
the American Federation of Labor.
But this does not carry penalty
under the law, of life imprisonment.

SCHOOLS STILL
CONGESTED

Additions to two District schools
were dedicated last night.
DR.. Frank w. Ballou, superin'
tendent, at the dedicatory exer.
cises of the Park View School, and
Robert l.. Haycock, assistant
superintendent, at thc Whittier
School, pointed out that despite a
large expenditure Of $7,500,0 900 for
0 building program, the schools in
Washington are still very con-
gested.
In the face Of criticism from
civic and other organizations,
Henry Gilligan, member of the
Board of Education, and author
of a proposal for the introduction
Of religion as basis for character
education, said at the Whittier
dedication that character educa,
ton, which is not based on re-
Ngion, is not of much value."'
Confidence that the physical
needs of the school system would
soon be realized was expressed by
George M. Whitwell, newly ap-
pointed member of the school
board, at the Park View dedica-
ton. Mr.. Whitwel urged further
cooperation between the school
and the parent in the develop
ment of character.

ROthchild, An All Around
Sub Man AS Well AS A
Cook.

Out of one hundred thousand ap-
plicants, Harry ROthchild was chOs-
en- by Sir Hubert Wilkins to be chief
steward of Sir Hubert's expedition
Mr.. ROthchild is a very pleasant
stout gentleman, and enjoys playing
miniature golf Incidentally, he is
the champion miniature golfer of
Silver Lake, New Jersey. Mr.. Roth
child has charge of the selection of
all the foods to be used on the eX-
peditiOn, as well as seeing that the
same are prepared in a palatable
manner for the crew. He told me
that extreme caution was taken to
provide for a balanced diet, and that
lime juice as well as other fruit
juices were TO be used at every
meal, this he said is to prevent the
possible outbreak of scurVy, a
scourge that was a constant threat
in the past, to sailors who under
took long trips without fresh food.
Mr.. ROthchild also said that the gal
lery of the sub is the best equipped
of any. afloat, having among other
cOnveniences an electric dishwash-
er and drier. In spite of his bulk,
for Mr.. ROthchild tips the scales at
240 pounds. he is extremely agile,
and says that he experiences no diff
ticulty whatsoever in getting out of
the coming tower. About his own
experiences he is very modest al
though he has had some that would
make a person shiver at the thought
of having to go through the same.
He is a graduate of the Manual
High School of Brooklyn
and at eighteen enlisted in the army,
and for years was stationed at
DeadwoOd, South Dakota, the town
that was named in memory of the
exploits of the famous Deadwood
Dick, two-gun man of the old
West. Later Mr., Rotchchild joined
Lhe navy and during the great war
was stationed in the Canal Zone,
where he had his first experience in
ieep-sea dying. Together with his |

inc he is also an all round sub man,
being able to fill in any post in a |

Two Promising Poets In
Mrs. COrdray' Room

The third grade has just finished
week of perferct spelling lessons
The children of this grade are
making a stage setting which will
show family going west in a COW
cred wagon in 1850. This art work
has grown out of a study of pioneer
life during the exciting days of the
gold rushes.
Since those warm days the last of
February, the whole class has had
its eyes open for signs of spring.
Following much discussion of the
new season and the reading of a
number of spring poems, two mem
bers Of this group composed poems.
This one was started by William
Haughey and various members of
the class helped him with sugges-
tions:
"The birds are coming from The
South
To nest in the trees.
The Pussy Willows coming out
To nod in the breeze.
The trees are bursting into bud,
Full of red and green.
The daffodil's golden cup,
Soon will be seen"
Emma Sharp wrote this one
Il like the coming of the spring,
When the birds begin to sing;
And the flowers so bright and gay,
Spread their perfume on the way"

Seasickness, Punishment
Visited On Runaway

The wind ragged; the rain poured
down, the waves piled high around
the ship that rode like a cookie
SHELF over the sea in the storm
Professor Arthur Hudson, then just
plain Arthur, a boy of fifteen, says
that that was his punishment for
running away from home in Eng
land to join his older brother in
Canada. 1t was the first time he had
ever been at sea, and ships were not
so steady and dependable then. The
only two people in the second class
cabins were a young lady on her
way to be married and himself. The
ship was on tops of the waves one
moment and the next would lurch
sickeningly down between them.
And oh! how sick they were! They
would roll out of their hunks all
across the floor, too scared to get
up, and too sick to care if they died.
And then the young lady's bunk
broke through! Luckily Mr.. Hud-
son was either under his own bunk
or out further on the floor. else he
might have been hurt. What an
awful storm that was!
The story has happy ending. Mr..
Hudson reached Halifax alive and
has never heen back to England
since.

What Goes On In Our
Physical Education
Department

With the addition of Physical Ed
ucation to its curriculum this year
the Milford Special School Distric
is now making rapid strides il
| building ZIP wholesome recreation
and developmental program. Imme
diately upon the completion of the
new high school building and gym
nasium the school board vigorously
attacked the program of having an
athletic field constructed. The work
once well under way has gradually
been taking shape and now points to
being one of the best in the State
The field itself will contain a foot
ball grldirOn, baseball diamond, SOC
Ger field. two jumping pits. two vol
ley ball courts, two tennis courts, a
basket ball court, and facilities for
all field events and games such as
schlagg ball, dodge ball. field ball,
etc. Encircling the gridirOn will
be a q mile cinder running track,
including 22O yard straight away.
Considerable grading has been nee
.essary to make possible the con-
struction of these things.
The school authorities intend to
make full use of all outdoor facili-
ties because they have adopted and
are sponsoring outdoor activity
whenever possible.
The fall physical education pro-
gram consisted in the main of drills,
stunts, squad practice in major
sport elements, squad competition in
elements through relays C"bag and
it") contests, circle games and maj
or sport competition. Closely CORE
lated with this program was the af-
ter school program of sports. soccer
and football for boys, dodge ball and
vOlley ball for girls.
With the Inauguration of the in
door programs, the trend was of
more formal nature. The course of
participation was then enlivened by
the addition of marching, dancing.
indoor games and apparatus work.
Especially did the students take to
apparatus work, and while none of
them are yet doing the Giant Swing
or the Flyaway. the progress they
are making is noteworthy of their
enthusiastic endeavOrs. Next year
they expect to put on an exhibition
and demonstrate all the skills and
developmental activities incOrporat-
ed in their gymnastic work.
At the present time they are Or
a Girls Pyramid Club un-
der the auspices of the Physical Ed
ucatiOn Department
Spring activities will in the main
resemble the fall program except
that a major portion will be given
over TO track and field events, base
