AN already scrambled Chinese
L n puzzle was given another twirl
today when the name of Meredith
Nicholson, famous indianapolis nov
elist and essayist, was tossed into
the Democratic senatorial tangle by
friends both here and over the state.
Nicholson was noncommittal over
the possibility that he may become
a candidate for the post in the state
convention next June.
ct have nothing to say, nor VIII
discuss the matter" he declared.
Friends, however, eagerly prof
fered the information that he would
not turn a deaf ear to ambition.
If his name does go before the
convention it will be the seventh IN
the rapidly growing list, which IN
cludes Evans Woollen, Albert Stump,
Walter Myers, all of indianapolis;
Lew O'Bannon of Corydon, Samuel
Clelland of Fl. Wayne, and John
A. M. Adair of Portland.
Indications are that Nicholson
will make no contest for delegates,
but that his name will be used IN
event of a deadlock, which looms at
present.
It IS a matter of record that, al
though preoccupied with his literary
labors, Nicholson has found time to
take a prominent part in Democratic
activities.
In 1924, when the Republicans al
most everywhere were swept into
Office by large majorities, he was
Democratic nominee for state sena-
tor and led the legislative ticket,
although also defeated.
Then in 1927, when the members
of the city administration either
were ousted or indicted, Nicholson
was appointed member OF the re-
form city council.
At the Seventh district reorgani-
zation meeting in 1880 he was
elected Seventh district Democratic
chairman.
Nicholson also was offered an i'm
portant diplomatic post by Presi-
dent Wilson.
! 4 II
One of the outstanding liberals in
Indiana, Nicholson will attract those
with similar bent who will be del
egates to the convention, and his
name, distinguished as it is, would
no doubt prove a drawing card on
the state ticket.
There is a decided movement to-
ward the liberal point of view, both
in his party and over the state.
Usual comment regarding many
of the others mentioned is: HE is
too conservative"
This, at least, never could be said
of the HooSier author.

SHOOTING STARS
TO Be WATCHED
NEXT 4 NIGHTS
Astronomers Ask Help of
Amateurs in Checking
Leonid MeteorS.
Bv Science Service

Ry Science Serrice
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 10. - All
during November, but especially
starting Saturday and continuing
through next Tuesday, astronomers
everywhere with the assistance of
thousands Of volunteer observers
will watch for a sight Of the Leonid
meteors or shooting stars.
Though some of these meteors,
which seem to emerge from the
constellation of Leo, the lion, are
seen every November, the display
last year was better than for nearly
third Of century previously.
Astronomers who make a spe-
cialty of meteor study are hoping
that this may prove to have been
the forerunner of a magnificent
shower" in the next few years,
comparable with those of 1888 and
1866. In those years the entire sky
was covered with shooting stars by
the thousands.
Earth to Cross Swarm
Meteors are best seen in the early
morning sky, because then the me-
teors hit us head on. In the evening
hours they must catch up with US.
The swarm of LeonidS forms an
elliptical ring nearly two billion
miles long, but. though there are
some meteors all around this ring,
at one point they are particularly
concentrated. Each meteor in the
swarm moves around this ring once
in little over thirty-three years.
The earth crosses the swarm in
November, so then some of the me-
teors are intercepted, and, as they
are burned by friction with the
earth's atmosphere, the shooting
stars are seen in the sky. In the
years of the great showers the earth
hit Squarely the concentrated part
Of the stream.
Believed kin" of Comets
Though the origin of meteors is
not accounted for fully, it seems
certain that they are closely associ-
ated with, comets. In many cases a
swarm of meteors has appeared in
the same path as a comet that had
disappeared.
The Leonid meteors, for instance,
follow almost exactly the path Of
Temples comet. Probably both COM
cts and meteors are some of the
debris left over from the time when
the planets were formed Of material
pulled from the sun by the gravita-
tional attraction of passing star.
DR.. Charles P. Olivier of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, Philadel-
phia, is one of the leading authori-
ties on meteorS and heads the Amer
lean Meteor Society, made up large
ly of amateurs who cooperate with
the professionals in observing these
wanderers.
Number Is Desired
He has asked for assistance from
every one in securing data on the
Leonids this month.
Most important of the desired in
formation is the number of meteorS
seen during half-hourly intervals.
This can be obtained by simply
counting those seen from midnight
to 1890, 1890 to 100, and so on.
The times of passing clouds or
anything else that may hinder
sight of the meteors should be
noted. Leo, the constellation from
which they seem to radiate, is di-
rectly east in the early morning
hours and is recognized by the IA
miliar. Sickle" a group Of stars
shaped like that agricultural imple-
ment.

stopped In Winter. Their eggs were
white.
Then somebody introduced q heavy
Asiatic breed (the Brahma) into New
England. This hen laid well in the
Winter. Her eggs were brown. The
only other eggs obtainable were those
Of the Summer-laying hens which had
been preserved indifferently in salt or
lime. Consequently white-shelled egg
in Winter was in itself evidence that
it was far from strictly fresh. The
brown egg was fresh. 1t commanded a
higher price. This held over into the
Spring and Summer. So New Eng
landers still continue demanding brown
eggs. The rest of the country obtained
fresh eggs in Winter by improving the
white-egg laying breeds. A brown egg
was in itself evidence that it had been
shipped from a distance, and hence a
sign of inferiority.

Rice Consumption Area.
AS an instance of the persistence of
a food habit he refers to the consump-
ton of rice in an area of the South ex-
tending from around Charleston, S. c.,
into Georgia. In the early days, Mr..
Sherman points out, this was the cheap
est cereal crop which could be raised
in the neighborhood. New kinds of
rice were developed, but best suited to
grow in other regions. Today rice and
its products are seldom as cheap as
wheat and corn. yet the relocating
habit persists in that area.
The same applies he said, TO the
bean-eating habit of New England. New
Englanders started early as a seafaring
of sailors, easily stored on shipboard.
So an agriculture was built up to supply
the ships. 1t was found that beans
f1ourished in the New England climate.
There was an oversupply to be con-
sumed at home. Now Michigan raises
beans for Massachusetts. but the food
habit which furnishes so many jokes
for the rest of the country persists. The
reasons back Of it are forgotten.
In most American markets. Mr.. Wells
says, customers demand clean. white
eggs. New England regards them as
inferior and demands brown eggs. A
chemist can detect no difference be-
tween the two except the color of the
shells. But folks are willing to pay for
whiteness or BROWNIES of eggshells

"the subject Of venomous broadcast at
tacks by Baker" and was termed the
Amateur Meatcutters' Association" and
the Medical Trust according to Yost.
Fighting local newspaper in Mus
catine, Baker no. only attacked 1t on
the air, but urged its subscribers to quit
reading it and to subscribe to his own
recently established newspaper.
Grounds for Refusal.
Yost concludes the stations license
should be refused because: Cd A broad
casting license imposes an unacceptable
obligation - serve public interest; CD
1t Is not in public interest for a radio sta
ton to provoke personal and community
strife and turmoil; 90 a licensee should
not unjustly attack legitimate organi-
cations or individuals to further his
own interests and business. (4) a sta
ton may have much to commend 1t and
yet sufficient Objectionable matter TO
discredit it; (5) it is not necessary to
violate any penal provision of the radio
act to forfeit right to renewal of license;
90 proper respect for the rights, privi-
leges and opinions of all peoples should
be observed; Cd since the home Is the
principal listening post in the broad
field of radio reception, nothing that
tends to vulgarity, immortality or in
decency has any place in radio.
Baker has until March 20 to file ex-
ception's to Yost's report, after which
the commission must act upon It. If
YoSt is sustained by the commission, the
Iowa broadcaster may appeal to the
Court of Appeals of the District of Co

A TRACKING recent conten-
~ lions for Sectionalized pro-
n nunciation of the English
language in radio, numer-
Gus authorities on pronunciation
have urged a continuation of
National BroadcaSting Company'S
policy of eliminating, so far as
possible, sectional and provincial
recommendations in favor of a ma
tionally recognized standard of
English usage and pronunciation
that might be termed "cosmopoli-
tan English"
In their broadcaSting N. B. C..
announcerS endeavor to use pro-
nunciations that are generally
approved by cultured persons, that
will be widely understood by
English people wherever
they are, and that are free from
the extremes of affected precision
or fashion on the one hand and
from all that savorS of archaiSm,
ignorance or SlovenlineSS on the
other.
Paul w. Carhart, pronunciation
editor of the G. 81 G. Merriam Co..
Springfield, Mass, publishers of
WebSterS dictionaries, recently
said: "Never before has the Eng
disappearing world faced such a
decisive moment in the matter of
pronunciation, and because of the
influence of radio, especially, is
this more than ever of interest.
1--WE are confident from long
experience that any merely local
pronunciation will not be gen.
orally accepted. This applies to
the pronunciation Of the words of
our general vocabulary, which we
believe should follow in each case
that form most widely used by
the educated and culture d
throughout the EngliSh-Speaking
world.
1.-THE standard adopted should
be that of careful speech intended
to be understood by many at one
time rather than the ordinary and
careless colloquial style of speak
ing.
There are thousands of words
the pronunciation of which prob
ably always will be disputed
widely. For these words the
editors of the Merriam-W ebster's
dictionaries have recorded the
consensus Of usage of more than
100 recognized American and
British authorities.
"It is interesting to note in
Broadcast English-Recommen-
dations to AnnouncerS Regarding
Certain Words of Doubtful Pro-
nunciation, published by the
British BroadcaSting Corporation,
that in the case of a very large
number of such words the British
favor the pronunciation that is
also favored generally by Ameri-
cans"
THE seriousness of the effects
L of the business depression
upon the radio manufacturing
industry is wildly emphasized in
statistics compiled by o. H. Cald-
well, former Federal radio COM
missioner and now editor of
Radio Retailing and "Elec-
tronics." Though broadcaSting,
with it's $25, 100000 investment in
stations, thrived as business last
year, not single radio manu-

ment is estimated at 100000, 900.
Purchasers obtained sets last
year at an average price of $3.50,
to compare with $110 in 1929 and
Sis in 1928. Little more than
100000 sets were sold, or IA per
cent less than in 1929. The dollar
volume, about As per cent of the
sets being midgetS, dropped from
$525, 100000 in 1929 to 1902, 529, 900
in 1880. Tube sales fell Is per
cent, so that the total volume of
radio business was slightly over
$500,000,000 in 1880, to compare
with $842, 100000 in 1929. Today
the radio makers are turning to
campaigns to sell two and three
sets per home, sets for Offices and
sets for cars.
Though Caldwell estimates that
100000 persons have been en-
ployed in the radio manufacturing
industry at peak production, with
an annual payroll of 100000, 900,
a statement received by Col.
Arthur Woods, chairman of the
Presidents Emergency Committee
for Employment, from Bond Ged-
DIES, executive head of the Radio
Manufacturers Association, says
that employment during last
Summers peak was about $4,000
persons. Peak production usually
begins in June and continues into
August or September, preparing
for the Autumn and Winter bust
ness.
COME apprehension is being felt
~ by theater interests in England
because the British Broadcasting
Corporation has applied for a
music and dancing license for the
super-Studio being erected in it's
new broadcasting house. The
studio will seat an audience of
1000, and it is feared that box
office receipts will soon be added
to the revenues government
owned broadcasting monopoly,
which collects an annual tax of
about $3.50 on every radio re-
ceiving set used in the British
Isles.
They are even beginning to
charge newspapers and periodicals
in England for the use of photo
graphs supplied by the B. B. c.,
which also publishes a widely
circulated magazine Of its own
called 1.-THE Listener"
Public versus private enterprise
is by no means a settled problem
in England, though some Ameri-
cans like to point to the British
system as the ideal for this
country. Aside from the British
theater mems fear of a radio
theater competitor, the suggestion
that the B. B. G. may charge adj
mission to radio studios brings
up a natural question whether
admissions will be charged in the
studios with large seating capaci-
ties being planned in the radio
city" project in New York City.
