Every Day Religion
BY DR.. JOSEPH FORT NEWTON

TITO practice the Golden Rule
- asks for love and wisdom, but
also for the imagination to put
ourselves in the place of another,
to sit where he sits and see things
from his angle.
To the promptings of love we
must add "the moral obligation
to be intelligent" also we run a
risk of injuring our fellow-nan
by helping make him greedy, self
ish, eXacting and as fiabby as a
jellyfish, if not a miserable para
site.
A case in point is the story of
the life OF Samuel Butler, the
famous author of THE Way of
All Flesh Of his dealings with
his friend PAUL.. He met his
friend in New Zealand, and, as
PAUL. was in bad health and poor,
Butler paid his way to England,
and agreed to give him a thou
sand dollars a year for three
years, while he studied law.
Butler fulfilled his promise not
only for three years, but for
thirty three years, often when he
himself was poor.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1932-12-17

TN secret, PAUL. earned at times
l. $4,000 a year, and died leaving
an estate of $4,000, without re-
Numbering Butler in his will. The
point is not the injury done to
Butler, bad as that was, but the
injury to The man who sinned
against nina sin encouraged
by an extraordinary kindness,
until his soul must have been
rotten within him. Butler, who
did not profess to be a Chris
tan, said very simply:
II felt pretty sure I was doing
a great deal too much, but I had
rather have done a great deal
too much than a little too little.
My conscience is absolutely clear
of all offense toward him, save
that of having made it so deplor-
ably easy to do things which, if I
had made them harder, he would
have been less likely to do
Of course, such case is as
exceptional as it was outrageous,
but it goes to show that we may
do good in a stupid, easy-going
way, and actually do more harm
than good.

people be allowed to use powerful
drugs?
We would raise an awful row if
something like that was proposed.
We should raise just as big a row
to keep the eighteenth amendment
from being repealed.
If we, who claim to be Christians,
do not do all within our power to
prevent the repeal of this noble
law, I feel that we will be held ac-
countable for it at the judgment.
If the eighteenth amendment is
repealed, it not only will be a back
ward STEP but a downward step, for
our country. Are we, as citizens of
the United States, willing to see our
country going toward destruction?
If not, do all within your power to

Honor Merited by Hale
BY DAVID DIETz

A ANNOUNCEMENT that the
N much-coveted Copley medal
of the Royal Society of London
has been awarded to DR.. George
Ellery Hale will be received with
satisfaction by all students of
astronomy. For DR.. Hale, honor
airy director of the Mt. Wilson
observatory, is one of the great
est figures in the world of as
tronomy.
Tsr. Hale has performed a three
fold service to the world Of as
tronomy. First of all, he has
been an interchangeable research
worker, making many discoveries
of primary Importance.
Second, he has been a wise or
ganizer and executive, making !
possible for other astronomers to
carry on their work under. ideal
conditions.
Third, he has been an inventor
and instrument designer, furnish
ing new instruments of research
which have been of service to as
tronomers of the whole world.
The Copley medal was awarded
to DR.. Hale specifically for his
work upon the magnetic field OF
the sun. Dr.. Hale was the first
to establish the fact that the sun
spots are gigantic magnets.
This piece of work gave the
world of science new under
standing of the nature of sunspots
and solar phenomena in general
It made the connection between
sunspots and terrestrial magnetic
storms and the aurora boreahS
more understandable.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE
IN best sign of recovery is a new
attitude Of mind toward depres-
sion and the problems it involves.
People no longer are waiting for
miracles.
The idea that we all have to
buckle down and help slowly is
gaining ground.
Business, as we call it, is not
an outside, innpersonal force
which blesses or spanks us &C
cording to some caprice of in
scrutable fate.
Business is something that we
have created and that we must
maintain.
We think too much about bust
ness from the investment stand
point, from what we get out of
it in dollars and cents.
That is necessary on the pro-
duction side, but it falls far short
of explaining why we have bust
ness.
In the end, our enterprises and
activities bark back to what

Perspective Better

OUCH a need was apparent from
~ the beginning of this depres-
sion, but we stubbornly refused to
recognize it.
Now we are beginning to re-
trench on the one hand, and put
forth greater efforts on the other.
Everywhere, one can feel the
urge OF a healthier perspective.
Instead of waiting for help. we
are beginning to help ourselves.
Instead of crying for credit, we
are trying to make better use of
what we have.
The old will to do and the old
belief that it can be done are
making their temperance. That
means that the crisis has been
passed.

Consumption Is Basis

NTE have talked a great deal
w about buying power during
the last few years, but largely as
though it were something which
a few could confer on the MANY.
People learned to make and de-
sire things before they built fac
tories, or formed corporations.
They must continue if they want
more factories and more corpo-
rations.
Consumption, as transformed
and increased through a steady
drive for improvement all along
the line, is the basis of modern
industry.
When it can not be encouraged
by higher wages, it must be en-
couraged with lower prices.
When consumption falls off.

Toner Telescopes
IN the early days of the Mt
Il Wilson observatory, DR.. Hale
turned his attention to design of
new apparatus for the study of
the sun.
he realized that the ordinary
telescope is not adapted to study
of the sun.
The big lens or mirror of q
giant telescope is a light-gath-
erer. Now, in the case of the sin
there IS too much light to start
with. ~ 'A :
1t is impossible for the observer
TO look at the sun unless his eve
IS protected by dark screens
which cut cut most of the suns
light.
What was needed was a tele-
scope of extremely long focal
length, so that very large images
OF the sun could be obtained
Accordingly, DR.. Hale designed
MS famous tower telescopes. The
nrst was seventy five feet high
This worked SO successfully that
a second, $50 feet high. was built
Inc tower telescope is a great
steel tower, with dome on ton
and a little house at the base. A
long tube connects the dome with
the house.
A system Of mirrors in the
dome catches the image of the
sun and sends it down the long
tube to the little house. where it
Is brought to focus.
Beneath each little house is a
deep well, with spectographic
equipment at its bottom. The
well below the 150-foot tower is
seventy-flye feet deep.
The tower telescope not only
furnishes unusually clear photos
OF the sun, but when combined
with the spectroscope or the
spectroheliograph give astrono-
mers their most powerful instru-
ment for the study of the sun.
It was with the tower telescopes
that DR.. Hale discovered the mag
netic nature Of sunspots by prov
ing that the spectrum lines Of
the sunspots were double, an eff

WHY THE FARMER Walls

One reason why the farmer is not enjoying eco
nomic good health is touched upon in a statement
recently made by Horace Bowker, president of the
American Agricultural Chemical Company, who
pointed out that taxes on farm property nowadays
absorb nearly II per cent of the gross farm income
OF the nation as compared with about per cent
before the war.
That item in itself is enough to explain a very
stable part of the agricultural depression And
yet when you stop to think about it, that is only
the beginning.
The farmer pays out three times as much in
taxes now as he did two decades ago; but to make
matters worse, he has to do it with farm products
that are worth only about half as much.
This combinations steady decrease in COM
modify prices and a constant increase in fixed
charges-rnakes it very easy to see why the farmer
is desperately in earnest in his demands for relief

Japan's American Market

That Chinese boycott is affecting the
United States as we'll as Japan. The Jap
ancse, seeking an outlet for goods which trey
can no longer sell in China, are turning
more and more to America. They seem to
be stressing l0-cent items in a way that puts
American manufacturers in hole.
There was the l0-eent electric light bulb
which made General Electric hustle 10 de-
wise one to sell as cheapy.l Now there are
japanese tennis shoes for 10 cents, and tuna
fish at O cents in cans which compete with
an American product at IS cents. These
articles do not seem to be much hampered
by our tariffs. They sell well in spite of
the fact that they are as cheap in quality
as in price.
This may awaken new sympathy for
China 1t looks. TOO. as if there would be
a big increase. in lO-eent goods, with Amer
lean manufacturers striving nightly to hold
the market the japanese seek to win. The
final outcome cannot be guessed, but the sit
uation reveals again how closely related are
international problems.

Brewery And The Beasts

An exceedingly odd example of sports
manship is furnished by that St Louis man
who is keeping two lions in a cage and
who plans to turn them loose somewhere in
the Missouri woods and put on a synthetic
big game hunt.
Big game hunting. at its best is rather a
diluted sport. 1t rarely serves GOOD end
save to make the hunter feel that he is quite
ably poorer.
But real big game hunting, even at that
is a different proposition than this. The
real lion hunter at least goes to the jungle
where lions live and takes some slight risk
even if it is only microscopic one. He
hunts his beasts on their native stamping
grounds. This proposition of turning two
lions loose in middle western forest plot
and hunting them down with rlfes-can
any true sportsman get excited about it?

The, cost of government takes one third
Of our national income at present. In the
case of some industries, it takes good deal
higher percentage than that. The railroads
are one of the worst sufferers. During May
taxes absorbed So per cent of their opcr-
ating income-whereas in 1913 the tax COL
lector gathered in l2.6 per cent. During
first five months of this year. taxes were
45.6 per cent of receipts
This explains one of the main reasons
why many railroads are just one step from
the receiver. Government takes more and
more of their money-and with that money
it subsidies waterways which take away
their business aids in building roads over
which their motor competitors run free
from federal regulation, and maintains the
bureau which regulates practically every
phase of railroad operation, but does not ex-
tend similar regulation to their competitors.
Every informed citizen knows that rail-
road prosperity is/essential to general in
dustrial prosperty-that almost every one
of us is, directly or indirectly, an investor
in the rails--that in normal times they are
our greatest purchaser of commodities and
employer of labor We know that they
have been given raw deal-and that no
other agency of transport can take their
place. 1t is time the public made its inRu
ence felt and demanded legislation that will
place all common carriers on an equal foot

when the federal income for Sep
TENDER becomes known. There will
then be In hand the data covering
three months Of experience with
the new revenue law under which
postage rates were increased with
the intent of adding to. govern
mental income.
1t is common knowledge that
three-cents postage has led many
utility companies and large mer-
camille establishments to distribute
their monthly bills and statements
through the use of their own en-
ployes, a practice which the postal
department has called legal. The
fact has become clear that the
government has invited the law of
competition to enter the field u
gainst federal monopoly in a way
which the government Is unable
to prevent. The net result Is that
the new postal rates defeat their
own purpose. That was foreseeable
and, foreseen.

benefit of the estimated added In

solution except to bow to the situ-
