Action Is Needed

TT generally is agreed that this
1 worldwide slump was brought
on by EMBELLISHMENTS due to the
war, that the economic and indus
trial structure was thrown out Of
balance, that certain lines Of pro-
duction were inflated unduly. while
others suffered by contrast.
Obviously, such condition can not
be overcome by breadlines, charity
bazars and bonuses.
Obviously, the one hope consists
in reforming the lines Of general
effort and redistributing the ener-
gies which either have been mis-
placed, or for which there is no
opportunity Of expression.
Obviously, the task calls for a
program of nationwide scope, in
which the government should take
leading part and which should
visualize action, not inaction, as
the great objective.

SCIENCE
nv DAVID nIETZ-


Nicholson Was a Man Of Too
Personalities - Digrtfed
in Public, Sometimes E0en
Boyish IN Laboratory.
THERE were two Albert Michel
: sons. There was the digniAed,
austere, almost forbidding figure
that the public saw. And there was
the energetic, enthusiastic, almost
boyish figure in the privacy OF the
scientific laboratory.
The first Nicholson was on exhibit
annually at the meetings o. tho
National Academy OF Science over
which he presided for many years.
7 can recall him now as saw him
at many Of those meetings.
The academy meets in its own
building in Washington, q beautiful
marble building of classic design
which stands near the Lincoln
Memorial and rivals it IN majesty
and grace.
The auditorium is like the in
terror Of q temple, with high doomed
ceiling and with walls decorated
with murals. It IS a temple OF
science.
Upon the platform. in the great.
throne-like chair Of the president,
would sit Nicholson. He looked the
part Of the high priest Of light as
he had been called so many times
because of his famous experiments.
His dignity was that Of a priest pre-
siding over religious service.
There was nothing in Michelson's
appearance to suggest the carefree
nature Of some scientific geniuseS.
His clothes always were immaculate.
his hair and mustache always neatly
trimmed.
Perhaps those were habits learned
in early youth as a rnidShipman In
the United States Navy.

RToST producers have a capacity

Belasco beat them all at this trick.
To him the thing in hand was al

the not inglorious epitaph might be
written for him: mot all things he

A few months ago Belasco let me

The Other Nicholson

T CAUGHT q glimpse Of the other
L Nicholson once when the famous
scientist lectured before q small
group at the Carnegie institution in
Washington.
DR.. Nicholson had brought q
small model Of his interferometer TO
Washington from Chicago for the
lecture. The interferometer is 9
device which splits ray of light
in half and then compares the dis
lance the two halves have Travelled
by the interference fringes, patterns
Of light and darkness, which are set
up when the two halves unite in the
eyepiece.
So delicate is the instrument that
g change in the path Of one-half
Of the beam equal to one part in
hundred million can be detected.
The interferometer had been
thrown out Of adjustment on the
trip to Washington. Now the ad-
justment Of an interferometer with
out certain laboratory aids generally
is regarded as an almost impossible
task. Even in the laboratory it
may take hours.
But Nicholson succeeded in adj
justing the interferorneter in about
two and half minutes. And then
he couldn't resist ctuckling q bit
and telling some "reminiscences
about how many years ago, when
youth studying in Paris, he aston
ished group of his teachers by
performing the same trick.
For few minutes the audience
was privileged to see the Nicholson
which for SO many years was care
fully hidden from the public. For it
was only within the last couple OF
years that Nicholson consented to
being interviewed and told that he
carried on his experiments because
they were so much fun.
It was possible to see at that lee
ture how much fun science was fog
Nicholson.

Conditions viii Change

T WING conditions in Russia are
L. not favorable by comparison, as
the above statement seems to imply.
The Soviet has not been able to
make plenty Of work mean plenty
to eat, while other countries have
been able to stave of hunger in
spite Of unemployment.
All that will change, however, if
the drift Of events continues as at
present.
No matter how well off the great
capitalistic nations may be, pro-
longed idleness will bring on dis
tIess.
No matter how poorly circum-
stanced the Russian people may be,
persistent toll will pull them out
Of the mud.

I'm May p. 1917. President VIII
" son wrote a letter to Repre-
sentative Helm of Alabama, ex-
pressing surprise that the Presi-
dents position regarding the atti-
tUds Of the United States in the
war against Germany had been mis-
understood.
The letter was written in response
to one by Mr.. Helm to the Presi-
dent, in which Helm called atten-
ton to speeches made in the house
by two representatives who claimed
that the President had said that
the United States had mo real
grievance against Germany"
Heflin, therefore, suggested that
the President, to correct q false i'm
preston, make z disavowal Of the
attitude accredited him by the two
congressman. In reply, the PreSi-
dent wrote, in part:
ct IS incomprehensible to me how
any frank and honest person could
doubt or question my position with
regard TO the war and its objects
7 again and again have stated the
-. wrongs which the imperial Ger
man government has per2etrated
against the rights, the commerce
and the citizens Of the United
States
There is no hate in our hearts
for tie German people, but there is
a resolve TO overcome the pre-
tensions OF the autocratic govern
ment which acts upon purposes to
which the German people never
have consented"

Teeth in a Scene

AHR. BELASCO himself had lived
I'VE and played in the days when
a big scene meant an opportunity
for the actor or actress to knock
the roof from the theater snd bite
the scenery.
He did not discard altogether his
relationship with that school OF
drama, Mrs. Leslie Carter, for in
stance, was probably as rampant an
emotional actress as the American
theater has known.
