Finding no solace in the straight-out pronounce
ment Of the Democrats for repeal of the eighteenth
amendment and immediate modification of its en-
forcing legislation, the drys of the country have
pinned their hopes on Mr.. Hoover. They eagerly
awaited his acceptance speech for assurance that he
still was Of theirs.
Perhaps the most authoritative dry approval Of
Mr. Hoover is that contained in editorial just
published in the Christian Century, the most emf
nen and influential weekly of Protestant Christianity
and probably the ablest protagonist of prohibition
within Christian journalism.

take care of the sick.
Usually, within few hours after
eating, although sometimes in
shorter or longer periods, the first
symptoms occur.
They take the form of severe
pains in the stomach and intes-

Usually there is also thirst, head
ache, dizziness, and a slight fever.
The mild attack passes off in most
instances within twenty-four hours,
but in severe cases the symptoms
may last three or four weeks.
Sometimes the prostration is so

Handcuffed by History

HISTORY has taught us to as
L l. sociate changes of government
with revolution, which is another
reason why we dread them, why We
oppose them, why we regard them
as bordering on treason.
We have changed our system of
communication and transportation
without revolution; have substituted
electric adopted for kerosene lamps;
have adopted the tin can and re-
frigeration, and done many other
things that would have caused
bloodShed had our attitude toward
science been the same as it is to-
ward politics.
Why not give human ingenuity a
chance in civil life? Why not trust
it as we do in other fields? We have
seen enough to know that order can
be maintained and society protected
under many forms of government,
that liberty to think constructively
does not mean disorder.
We have seen greater changes in
commercial and industrial life dur
ing the last half century than any
conqueror of old ever conceived,
much less accomplished, and we
have seen ourselves a little better
off because of them.

Experience Has Taught Us to
Hare Faith in the Search
for Knowledge.
NEW YORK, Aug. 19.--German
1 scientists pulverize atoms, not
singly, but in droves; Professor
Picard goes up ten miles, and Mar
conf sends radio messages 1853 miles
on waves less than two feet long.
What does it all mean? We do
not know as yet, but we have
reached a point where we believe it
can be made to mean something of
benefit.
That much, civilization has done
for the human mind. We no longer
oistrust study when it fails to result
in immediate profit. Experience has
taught us to have faith in the
search for knowledge.
Not only our educational institu-
tons, but some of our most hard
headed business concerns spent a
great deal on pure science, on ex-
periments and investigations, with
out hope of quick or specific re-
ward.
1t took Columbus half his life to
raise few thousand dollars for an
expedition which revolutionized hui
man history It took Fulton almost
as long to get sufficient backing to
build a steamboat.
John Fitch, who preceded Fulton
by twenty years, was unable to get
sufficient backing for more than a
cheap model. He displayed that
model to the sixty-odd great men
who framed the Constitution of this
republic. AS far as the record shows,
only four considered it worth men
tioning in diaries, or letters.

Real Education Triumph

N desire for more knowledge, but
a belief in its ultimate value. That

pose.
Only the ignorant are content to
remain ignorant.
Men walked for thousands of
years, not because they lacked
brains to tame and mount horses,
or discover methods of mechanical
transportation, but because they
lacked the urge to try, because their

been awakened.

ITO get large image of the sun,
l. a telescope with a long tube,
or, to state it more scientifically,
telescope with a long focal length,
was needed.
A telescope built in the ordi-
nary fashion would not turn the
trick. So DR.. Hale designed the
first of the two Mt Wilson tow
ers. 1t is seventy-five feet high.
The mirror which catches the
image of the sun is in the dome on
top of the great steel tower 1t re-.
fleets the image to- a second mir
ror, which in turn reflects it down
the center Of the tower.
At the bottom of the tower is a
little house. The tube enters
through the roof. The image of the
sun is brought to a focus on a ia
bic top within the house.
Suitable apparatus makes it pos
Sible to admit light from any pOr-
ton of the suns image into spec
troscopic apparatus situated in a
web beneath the tower.
The seventy-fve-foot tower tele-
scope worked so well that a second
one was built. This one is $50 feet
high.
The 150-foot tower telescope has
revealed a wealth Of detail about
the sun which no telescope pre-
viously had shown.
1t revealed, for example, the fine
structure of sun spots in a way in
which it never had been seen be-
fore.

Little Saloon Movement

DUT with the source legalized
ID and only the outlets under the
ban, it stands to reason that there
isn't a chance on earth to elm
mate places of conyiviality. To
be sure, expensive federal police
work may be sufficient to stop the
establishment of places with Old
King Cole over the mirrors and
really first class Salami on the free
lunch counter.
Saloons need not be as gaudy as
this. Where two or three are gath
cred together with bottle and a
couple of paper cups, you have the
nucleus for a saloon.
Now, some may ask why any in
dividual should HE himself to a
hole in the wall, once it becomes
possible for him to get pure liquor
at a reasonable price and drink it in
the security and sweet content
ment of his own home.
That question bites so deeply into
the soul of man that I can not an
swer it. know only the facts and
not the fundamental causes.
Today, for instance, the inteli-
gent householder who can find any
body who will sell him oranges and
lemons and maybe an occasional
grapefruit may easily concoct an
excellent cocktail at a cost of about
1872 cents per drink.
And yet that intelligent household
er, upon the slightest pretext, will
take himself and the whole party to
a speakeasy where the drinks cost a
dollar a throw and where he must
pay Is cents to get his straw hat
back from the man at the door.

DR., 1aIe'S Invention
THE great towers are known as
Il solar telescopes. They are the
invention of DR.. George Ellery Hale,
honorary director of the Mt. Wilson
observatory.
A quarter of a century ago, when
the Carnegie Institution of Wash
ington was embarking upon its pro-
gram of scientific investigation. it
called in DR.. Hale to organize the
Mt. Wilson observatory. He had
previously distinguished himself by
organizing the great Yerkes observ-
atory.
1t occurred to DR.. Hale that a
special type of telescope would en-
nance the astronomers ability to
penetrate the secrets of the sun.
Probably the most hopeful optimist
would not have anticipated how
successful DR.. Hale's program was
going to be.
Many problems which had baffled
astronomers since the early days
of civilization were solved with the
solar telescopes.
The ordinary telescope, built pri-
marily to view the objects of the
night sky, benefits by the size of its
lenses or mirrors. The big lens or
mirror of such a telescope is a.
light-gatherer.
The objects of the night sky are
faint. Consequently, it is desirable
to concentrate as much light as
possible into the image formed by
the telescope.
But the light-gathering ability of
the telescope is not the primary
concern in the case of the sun. The
sun is so bright that the astron-
omer can view it only through a
special dark eyepiece, which ex-
cludes most of the light and heat.
DR.. Hale reasoned that what was
wanted in the case of the sun was
a telescope which would give the
largest possible image Of the sun.

MODERATE WINTER
IS SF0RECAST HERE
Present Cycle Of Milder Tenn
peratures Cl.ed by OBJ
server.

BY the Associated Press.
Unless there is an unprecedentedly
sharp drop in temperature, the weather
man believes another moderate Winter
Is in store.
That is tie normal expectancy. Jo-
seph M. Kincer, chief of the agricul-
tural meteorology division OF the
Weather Bureau, said today as a result
of the upward swing in the thermometer
beginning in 1926.
Records show the weather moves In
currents of few cold years and then
few warm years, Kincer said. In
the past a change from one cycle to
another has come gradually and while
not forecasting definitely mild Win
ter. he said. indications pointed that
way since there is no evidence yet that
change to subnormal temperatures
has begun.
The present upward trend in temper
ature really began after the hard Win
ter OF 1918 Since then abnormal
weather has been dominant. with the
trend particularly noticeable since 1925
Every month this year except March
has brought temperatures ranging above
the 5O-year mean. Only New England,
Southern California and a small area
on the Northern Pacific Coast have had
slightly subnormal weather during the
past Summer. which was above average,
but below the mean of last Summer.
Kincer said that though the heat has
been more blistering rainfall over most
Of the country has kept crop damage
at minimum.
There were some heavy rains in
comparatively local areas and def
ciencies in moisture over considerable
sections" he said. but precipitation in
general was fairly well distributed. with
sufficient for the needs OF vegetation in
most places"
The West lake region and the At
lantic coast between North Carolina
and New York have been the principal
sufferers from lack Of moisture. with
the Eastern seaboard experiencing al
most as bad drought as in 1880.
However, in 1880 the dry Summer
followed Winter and Spring of sub
normal precipitation. and the creeks
and underground streams were drying
up early in the Summer. Good Spring
rains this year have offset the lack Of
Summer precipitation. Kincer pointed
out, and kept crop damage lower.
