Conditioned RefIexeS

DAVLOV is best known in the
L world of science for his work on
conditioned refiexes." He began
these experiments more than
twenty-five years ago.
But at that time he already was
world-famous scientist, having re-
ceived the Nobel prize in 1904 for
his researches on the saliyary
glands.
He also had conducted many ex-
periments to study secretions OF the
stomach liver. pancreas, and other
organs of the body.
BY extremely delicate operations,
performed with all the care that
surgical operation would be per-
formed upon a human being, Pavlov
succeeded in making arrangements
whereby the secretions from these
organs in animals could be collected
outside the body.
The success of these experiments
depended upon the fact that the
animal felt no pain and underwent
no suffering.
For II the animal felt pam, Its
functioning would become abnormal
and the very purpose of the expert
ment would be defeated
Pavlov is famous for his ability to
perform a delicate operation with
out spilling a single drop of blood.
Nothing infuriates him so much as
when an assistant hands him
knife or scalpel that is not as sharp
as he thinks it should be.
Under such circumstances, he has
been known to stalk out of the lab
oratory in a rage.
Pavlov's experiments on condi-
toned reflexes are psychological his
tory First he showed that a dogs
mouth watered when the dog saw
food. Later, he rang a bell each
time the dog was shown the food.
Finally he found that merely
ringing the bell was enough to make
the dogs mouth water.

house going down into the planta-
lions to give the tenantry a few
statistical crumbs from the table of
a great engineer. The suggestion
was that we were a pretty lucky lot
to have man so gloriously
equipped who was willing to take
the job of chief executive.
There was no talk then of hair
shirts or long vigils through the
night. 1t was condescending, but
not ignominious.
And so I am a little shocked to see
this same man siding over to citi-
zens and saying, Brother, can you
spare vote?" We are asked to
weep for and with Mr.. Hoover. We
are to forget the cold and hungry
men standing in bleak and bitter
weather seeking a crust or a pass
ing shelter.
We are to remember only that
Mr.. Hoover worked very hard. And
the plain answer to that ought to
be, why not?" I do not think
that the simple necessity of a stu
alton should turn any leader into
the green pasture of the sainted
and sanctified.

1t Could Be Less JoviaI

DUT I like Franklin D. Roose-
- velt's chortling almost as little
as like the whimpering of the Re-
publican nominee. Some day I hope
to see a picture of our Governor in
which he is not, showing all his
teeth. 1t can't be as funny or as
gay as all that.
Nor do I approve of the Demo-
Gratis half jocose acceptance of the
claim of victory in forty-eight
states. 1t is not impossible that we
are about to witness a landslide,
but that is merely phenomenon
and not an issue.
If it we're my privilege to sit as
editor on any part of the Roose-
welt campaign saga, IsSwould urge
him to make at least one speech
without any literary illusions. The
Book of Revelation contains some
magnificent, though vague, poetic
prose, but I am sick to death of it
being used as a campaign textbook.
People who fought with a fifth
cousin at Armageddon are likely to
be a little bored at the offer to

Nor am I much delighted when
an attempt is made to solve our
present and torturing problems by
some apt quotation from Alice in
Wonderland. Indeed, I believe that

What We Haze Needed Since
1929, and What We Still
Need, Is Leadership That
Can Get Action.
NEW YORK, Nov. 81 do not
~ like the spirit Of prophecy
which has taken possession Of Re-
publican spellbinders. 1t strikes me
that the people of this country have
suffered enough, without any
trumped-up glooming.
They are more than satisfied with
the dark side of their situation.
Their desire is for leaders, not
soothsayers-leaders who can re-
kindle hope, inspire courage and get
action.
Exporting with regard to ailments
has about run its course. Most Of
us are we'll aware of what is the
matter, though We may not know
why.
Also, we realize that is too grave
for wasting time on speculative in
quiries, much less blue predictions.
Speaking Of sound American ira
ditions," why not fall back on that
one which teaches that where
there's will there's a way?" We
certainly can not hope to beat de-
preston with self-pity.
Lack of confidence is, and has
been, at the bottom of our inability
to make greater Roadway. Fear of
possible losses has done more to re-
strict credit and retard business
than anything else
Whatever else may be said of
them, Governor Roosevelt and the
Democratic party are not afraid.
They have not used this campaign
to spread the gospel of alarm.
They have not even tried to hedge
by telling what awful problems they
will be called upon to solve if placed
in power. That, at least, is in their
favor,

The Income Tax

Quite as important the election of any candi-
date is the passage of the amendment to the Con-
stitution to permit the levy of an income tax
While some lawyers assert the amendment is not
necessary 1t is best to safeguard against any tech
nical objection which supreme court, listening to
the howl of the big tax dodgers may find to such
a law when it is passed at the next session. n
The income tax is necessary unless all real estate
is to be condscated
The farmer needs it. So does the small home
owner. 1t Is probable that the time will soon come
when 1t will be the only way that taxes can be raised
is, of course, the fairest way to distribute the
cost of government.
One other amendment is suggested This would
authorize legal authorities to fix standards for
the practice of law. The present Constitution pro-
vdes that no citizen of good moral character shall be
barred from acting lawyer.
vote on this amendment is not important The
supreme court, by its own edict, has nullifed the
Constitution. That court has already written the
rules under which lawyers may be given credentials
To pass the amendment will only legalize what as
already been done by the supreme court when it gave
the people a demonstration of how that court can
encroach upon the other branches of and
the Constitution itself when it SO desires
But the income tax is important 1t may help
to save the farms for the farmer and the homes of
workers 1t will open the door to really equitable
tax system.

1T SEEMS TOME, BY HE Ey01P9

DERHAPS I speak only for my
L self, but will be glad when
the election is over.
The campaign has not contributed
much to human dignity or wisdom.
Not until the various orators have
gone home to rest their larynxes will
there be much opportunity for the
serious study and possible solution
of pressing political and economic
problems.
My chief, but by no means ex-
elusive, complaint is against Herbert
Hoover. do not think he can be
elected, but if he wins it hardly can
be victory in which he can take
much pride.
Under the stress of adversely Pres
ident Hoover and his associates have
done things of sort which make
men toss about in bed of nights in
later years, things which they will
not want to remember.
Since his stand on prohibition is
so vague, it hardly would be fair
to say that Herbert Clark Hoover
has been crying into his beer. That
would be bad enough, but the plain
fact is that he has been weeping
into the water pitcher, which I
think Is little worse.
4 Il Il
Weeping. Not Fighting
IN headlines read that the Presi-
i dent, at this point or that, made
"a fighting" speech. But the text
of his remarks seldom makes good
his label. His pleas have been far
more abject. The gist of the Re-
publican arguments, as 1 under
stand it, is that Abraham Lincoln
was attacked severely by critics
while in Office. Herbert Hoover has
been roundly scored by current
commentators. And, therefore, so
the plea goes, Herbert Hoover must
be a second Lincoln.
In 1923 Herbert Clark Hoover
made but few speeches and adopted
the lofty attitude of ignoring the
name and even the existence of the
rival candidate. In fact, he almost
ignored the voters.
The whole mood was that of the
great white father from the manor

Thousands OF Ducks On The
Susquehanna Flats

Representatives of the United
States Biological Survey from time
to time have visited the Susquehanna
Flats and upper waters of the Chesa-
peake bay for the purpose OF esti-
mating the number of ducks, par
ticularly canvasbacks, on the local
cunning grounds. 1t was said the
most canvasback seen in one day
totaled about 10000.
In order to check and make re-
count Mr.. F. C. Lincoln, of the De-
partment of Commerce, an expert
in counting ducks both on the water
and in the air, was sent there few
days ago to make an estimate of the
number of ducks on the flats.
With Mr.. Dewey F. Bowman, OF
Bel Air, officer in charge of the State
police boat "Canvasback," he made
a trip to the ducking grounds and
after a careful and conservative estl-
mate was amazed when he counted
175,O 900 canvasbacks in one rick east
of the Battery. Mr.. Lincoln returned
to Havre de Grace late in the after
noon stating he had seen more ducks
that day on the Susquehanna flats
than he had ever seen at one time in
his entire career.
There were also thousands of other
ducks on the flats, but as there is
said to be no shortage of trash ducks
no attempt was made to count them.
The number of swans and geese is
said to be about normal.
