Surplus Food

Wise men change their MINDS.
Some weeks ago the house agriculture commit
tee voted against reporting out the bill which pro-
vided for free distribution of a part of the farm
boards surplus wheat to the hungry unemployed.
The same committee reversed itself Tuesday and
voted, is to 6, to report out the measure.
The house Democratic leadership is in fair posi-
ton; it is willing for the membership to pass on this
measure, which may save many from dying of hunger.
If the house Democratic leadership wants to main
tain that position, it viii see to it that the bill is
passed. The senate, including G.. o. P. regulars,
passed it. The Democrats, in control of the house,
can not afford to be less liberal than the admin
~istration.

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE

fruit, some vegetables and milk or
milk products in abundance.
The physical side of life includes
cleanliness, which will be accom-
plished by a lukewarm bath at least
once each day, and oftener if neces-
sary; the diet which has been de-
scribed; exercise, which should be
sufficient in amount only to slim
ulate slightly the activity of the
tissues and not to build big muscles:
rest sufficient to overcome both
mental and physical fatigue; and,
above all, good mental hygiene for
the development Of proper attitude
toward life and work.
1t is we'll enough to suggest that
times will not improve through con-
slant emphasis on the depression.
We are told not to use the word
depression even to enter on a
conspiracy of silence. But we must
work our way out of our troubles
rather than to adopt the idea that
they will disappear if we do not
think or talk about them.

Millions for 'LeggerS

THE tribute laid on illegal liquor
Il traffic by corrupt politics
would go a long way toward balanc-
ing the national budget. The profit
which criminals are making out of
it would go even farther.
There are a few thousand men in
this country who could pay the en-
tire deficit, without n of them
going hungry.
But We prefer to talk about taxes
which may make the operation of
a soup kitchen for the unemployed
a little more expensive.
Hasn't the foot of the line borne
enough?

Helping the Rich

VOU can go to the book and
l. prove that loaning millions of
dollars to great corporations will
pep up business, provide work and
eventually help common folks to
get a new start, but you can't go
to the man who is hungry and
make him see the justice, or wis
dom of it.
You can't make the 5000, 900 I'M
employed see why they are less
worthy of immediate relief than
those who haven't been forced to
give up any of their Injuries, who
haven't been pinched in any vital
way by this depression.
You can't make a man who has
worn out his last pair of shoes
looking for work believe that he de-
serves less at the hands of his gov
eminent than a capitalist whose
fortune has shrunk from twenty to
ten million dollars.

New Deal Needed

TAN'T our political leaders see
~ that a redistribution of wealth
is part of the recovery problem?
Don't they understand that taxa
ton is one Of the best ways to bring
it about?
This is no time to make things
harder for the ultimate consumer,
especially the ultimate consumer
who is out of work, or working only
part time at reduced wages.
This is no time to shovel public
money out of the window for big
financial and industrial institutions
and then tax the simple needs of
the poor.

Let's Have Fair PLAY

YOU can't make a mother whose
l. children are crying for bread
believe that banks and railroads
need help more than she does.
The situation which we face is
beyond mathematics, or bookkeep-
ing. In Is per cent of the homes
of this country it has come down
to the elementa1s of existence.
We have reached a point where
nothing is so essential to the main
tenance of mental health and social
order as fair play.

When you get right down to brass
tacks, Uncle Sans financial distress
is mainly due to the simple fact
that he is letting rum-runners and
racketeers get away with money
which rightfully belongs to him.
You don't have to look beyond
the 100000 Speakeasies in this
country to know why the American
people are being asked to cough up
an extra $1,000, 100000 each year.
To be sure, a larger part of the

that is against the philosophy of

The Infinite Universe

The universe is infinitely large.
There is no limit to it. Galaxies
are organized into super-galaxies.
Super-galaxies into still larger
units, and so on.
ct should be noted, however, that
the larger the unit, the greater the
ratio of space to matter in it so
that as the universe approaches in
f1nity, the ratio of matter to space
approaches zero.)
There is no limit to the infinitely
small. The electron is not the
small unit Of matter, but a complex
organization of sub-electronic sys-
TENS.
The universe is not expanding.
The shifting to the red in the spec
ira Of the nebulae is not due to mo-
ton.
The shift is due to the absorption
OF some of the energy of the light
from these nebulae by space.
This absorption goes on in the
case of the light from the stars and
the sun also.
The energy so absorbed is formed
into the s~ub-electronic systems
which in time form new e~lectrons
Of matter.
The universe is not running down
but is a "going concern
The universe has existed for an
infinite length Of time. so that it is
reasonable to suppose that there are
many planets in existence in the
universe where life and civilization
Is millions Of years ahead of that
upon our earth.

NeW VieW of Universe Is
Advanced by DR.. William
ID. Macmillan.
a NEW view Of the universe, dia-
II metrically opposed to the re-
cent views based upon the theory
OF relatively, is advanced by DR..
William D. Macmillan, professor of
mathematical physics at the Uni
verSity of Chicago.
The world of science will give
careful consideration to what Pro-
lessor Macmillan has to say, for he
is n of the pioneers in modern
cosmogony.
AS early as 1904, DR.. Macmillan,
suggested the possibility of atom
building" processes in the univer-
sity by which lighter atoms we're
consolidated into heavier atoms and
by which the lighter IONS them
selves were created out of spent
radiation.
This was a year before EinStein
published his famous paper lggest-
ing the opposite process, namely
that energy could be released by the
destruction of atoms.
This idea that the energy of the
sun and stars resulted from the
breakdown of heavy atoms has be-
come a corner stone of modern COS
mogony and led to the view shat
the universe gradually is running
down.
But many authorities, chief
among them DR.. R. A. Millikan. feel
that sufficient attention has not
been given to the side of the picture
first proposed by DR.. Macmillan,
namely the changing of energy back
into matter.
DR.. Millikan believes that his
process goes on and that the cos
mic rays to which he has devoted
so much study are a ~by-product of
this process.

The Expanding Universe

~ ~
7 EFT us compare the RELATIVELY
Il concept of the universe with
that advanced by DR.. Macmillan.
The relatively concept is known
generally today as the expanding
universe"
The expanding universe may be
summarized as follows:
The universe is finite. Due to
the curvature of space, if you travel
long enough in one direction. YOU
get back to the point from which
you started.
The amount of matter in the uni
verse is finite. According to DR..
Willem De Sitter, famous RELATIVELY
authority, there are about 10000
100000 spiral nebulae or galaxies in
the universe.
Each galaxy is the equivalent of
at least 10000 900, 900 stars like our
own sun. At first glance, this seems
a great deal of matter. But a
is very large and it works out on
the average to a universe which is
d1IIlOSC Empty.
De Sitter calculates that it
amounts to an average of one cleo
iron to every three cubic feet Of
space. The electron, the smallest
known unit Of matter, is so small
that a million might be placed upon
the period at the end of this sem
tence.
Most dramatic in the new view Of
the universe is the expansion idea.
Observation of the distant nebuIae
all show a shift to the red in the
lines of their spectra.
This is interpreted to mean that
the nebulae are moving away from
US at tremendous rates of speed.
This has led, in turn, to the notion
that the universe is expanding like
a gigantic soap bubble into which
air is blown.
De Sitter calculates that the uni
verse is expanding at a rate which
doubles its size every $4,000, 600
years.
Eddington and Jeans have adj
vanced the idea that this expansion
is the result of an initial explosion.

BROWNIES BELT
 TANKS AGAIN AS | FANS PERK UP
Present Pace May Halt St
 Louis Club From MOv- - ing to Milwaukee


 New York, June 24. (UP)-The Et Louis Browns, threatened with removal to Milwaukee because of poor patronage by home fans, have made an impressive appeal for sup- port by repulsing four eastern teams with Il victories to the visi- tors six.
 Bill Killefer's men concluded their home-stand yesterday ip a blaze of glory by skipping another defeat onto the powerful New York Yankees, IA to 10.
 Goose Goslin, the Browns veter- an left fielder, hit three home runs to account for seven St Louis tal- lies, the Browns outhit the Tanks 1e to 12.
 In the four-game series with New York, the Browns outslugged the Tanks 49 hits to 42 and rolled up 70 runs to the Tanks 34. They broke even in the number of games won.
 The Browns won two out of five against the Philadelphia Athletics. three out of four from Washington and four out of four from the dila- pitated Boston Red Sox.
 In the Balance
 If the Browns can continue the brand of baseball displayed during the past couple of weeks. close ob. servers believe they might finish well up in first division, gain the support of St Louis fans, and change President Phil Balls mind about shifting the team to Mil- waukee.
 In Yesterdays game, Babe Ruth drove out his twenty-second one run of the season and Lou Gehrig his eighteenth.
 Detroit's Tigers downed the low ly Boston Red Sox, 6 to 3, and the Washington Senators overwhelmed the Cleveland Indians, 6 to 1, aided by home runs from Manush and Judge. The Philadelphia Athletics nosed out Chicago's White Sox. 4 to 3, aided by five errors.
 Two Sports
 The New York Giants jumped from seventh to fifth place in the National league with a 6-to-1 vic- tory over the St Louis Cardinals. Jim Bottomley drove out @ homer for the Cards, as did Jackson and Vergez for New York.
 This defeat dropped the Cards to seventh place, while Brooklyn dropped to sixth because of an B. toI7 defeat by the Boston Braves.
 The Philadelphia Phillies down. ed the, Chicago Cubs, 18 to 10, in a free hitting game in which Chuck Klein drove out his twenty-first home run of the season.
 They were the only games sched- uled.
