Government is subject to the possible
ity Of being considered as biased by po-
ntical or commercial connections.
THE Government has already pro-
vided itself with facilities for the high
est type OF research. Much of this can
be found nowhere else in this country
or In the world. 1t includes complete
files of the worlds scientific and patent
literature. Research is greatly pro-
NOTED by the ability of the scientist to
consult with other scientists. This can
be done nowhere as 1t can in Washing
ton. The transfer OF the research work
of the Government bodily to univer-
sites would involve abandoning facih-
ties already provided and the building,
at large expense. of new ones which,
when built. would not be entirely salts

HOOVER APPROVES
FEDERAL RESEARCH
UphoIds Scientific Work in
Statement Prepared for
Monthly Magazine.

Continuation of scientific research by
the Federal Government Is upheld by
President Hoover in a special statement
prepared for the Scientific Monthly, the
organ of the American Association for
the Advancement of Science, rs an
introduction to a series of articles on
research projects by Government de-
partment heads.
This statement comes on the eve Of
the annual meeting Of the American
Association at Atlantic City next week.
President Hoover'S statement follows:
'The Unsuitable curiosity of the
human mind to probe the mysteries of
nature through scientific research into
the operation Of natural laws has re-
suited In such wealth OF new inventions
and new products. SO satisfying to ma
terial needs of the people. that the
world Is irrevocably committed to an
eternal quest OF further truth with
certainty OF endless and ever more
rapid change as new knowledge Is
translated into new convenienceS and
comforts. The social relations Of man.
kind have already been altered by
these changes beyond the utmost
imagination of our forefathers Further
and more revolutionary changes will be
wrought.
AS Government Is the art Of social
relations under recognized authorities
set up by the will of the people, any
change wrought by scientific advance
quickly produces new problems of gov
ernment. The Federal Government
itself long ago sensed the potentialities
OF science when 1t gave ofncial status
to the Smithsonian Institution. From
that pioneer body has flowed a stimu-
lation to scientific research Of the most
valuable character. both directly in its
own discoveries and indirectly through
its leadership and inspiration of private
institutions. Science is also recognized
and encouraged by the Federal Gov
eminent In the researches OF the De-
partment Of Agriculture in biology,
entomology. and other fields, and SINH
larly in ether departments which pro-
mote research. Thus the Government
still does, and increasingly should, lead
the way by example toward the dis
covery Of new knowledge to free man.
kind from ignorance. superstition,
needless fears and poverty. Nor should
it be unremarked that q spiritual value
accrues in all this labor for science
requires a degree, Of unselfshness and
devotion which calls out the finest
qualities of the human spirit, and, since
its goal Is truth, the noblest aspirations
Of mankind"

PROBATION SERVICE.
SUPPORT IS SOUGHT.

peal for Funds for Dis

Children Of unemployed parents are
more likely to turn to crime than other

editor of The Star, declared today In q
statement issued in connection with an
appeal being made this week for funds

Summing up the effects Of the un-

Ten years from now the depression
will have been forgotten, but our crimi-
nal population will be larger or smaller
by what we do now to prevent crime.
Unemployment breeds recruits for the
ranks Of crime, mostly from among the
young. This means more juvenile de.in-
quents and first offenders this year to
be cared fer by our courts.
Saving Possible.

$3.50 Accurate

A group of students at an Eastern University made
a study of advertising and reached the conclusion
that nnety-fve per cent Of all such printed state
ments were entirely honest, accurate, and truthful.
This was national survey. 1t is known fact that
advertising in Washington is a higher ethical
basis than in most cities, and therefore the per-
centage in this City is even higher.
OF course the Better Business Bureau does not
take the credit for this splendid situation. Busi
ness generally is honest and it is only natural that
the printed spokesman of business be honest. The
people of Washington are intelligent and would
not tolerate the questionable advertiser by giving
patronage to him.
The Better Business Bureau has been helpful not
only to the great ma ority of advertisers by bring
ing them public reactions, but also in opposing
that small number who would attempt to deceive
by untruth and half truth. The less than five per
cent of advertising that is questionable not only
Injuries the consumer but hurts legitimate busi-
ness; and, above all, destroys the good name OF

The public is invited to call to the attention OF
the Bureau any advertising that seems misleading
