Views Of Times Readers

Editor Times There has been a
rank and unjust wave of criticism
against New Jersey state police in
their procedure in investigation of
the Lindbergh kidnapping case. On
every hand, it seems, there is con-
domination, but seldom commenda-
ton for these trained competent
police officials who simply are fol-
lowing the only course of investiga-
ton left open to them.
have read every phase Of the
case from the beginning and if the
newspapers are to be taken serious
ly, and I believe they we'll can be,
the police have been thwarted at
every turn by members of both the
Lindberghs and Morrow families as
we'll as by the various Intermediates
and other entrants into the case.
In the early history of the case,
much valuable evidence and prom
ising leads were withheld from the
police because of the possible reac-
ton such evidence might have in
ieopardizing the life of the infant.
have felt from the start that
the police were extremely humane
and considerable in their activities.
They were criticised for the manner
in which they questioned interme-
diaries, but I am convinced the ar
rest of John Hughes Curtis. brought
about by questioning and cross
questioning certainly is worthy Of
some consideration on the part OF
the thinking public.
The recent suicide of Morrow
servant girl does not, to my way of
thinking. indict the police officials.
If she was driven to this act by fear,
it was because she could not yindi-
cate herself from her own mental
decisions, rather than from the
police.
Had this girl given chem clean
cut and voluntary account of her
actions on the night of March /,
and any other information they de-
sired, l am sure they would have
exonerated her, if the facts at hand
warranted vi

No Tricks Barred
EROM its inception, the Roosev

IRON its inception, the Roosevelt
l. campaign has been a gunshoe.
horse-t trading affair, with no tricks
barred. Neither the candidate nor
his supporters have made any efforts
to maintain show of statesman
ship, or serious concern over the
grave problems which beset this
country.
Their strategy has been pitched to
the tune of ward politics. Such pro-
nouncements as they. have made
have been in the nature of pep
letters" or pandering to prejudice.
They stand discovered as not caring
very much what kind of platform is
adopted, or to what commitments
the Democratic party is bound, so
long as they win.
1t has been reported, and is be-
lieved generally, that the Roosevelt
crowd will accept any kind of pro-
hibition plank. Maybe, that's I'M
just, but the New York Governor
and his advisers have yet to strike
pose which warrants a different
conclusion.
Thus far they have flirted with
vets and drys, regardless, but
ostentatiously with the latter. Some
of their noisiest champions come
from territory which it is hard to
conceive as opposing the eighteenth
amendment, or even beer for tax
alton.
The permanent chairman, for
whom they ditched Jouett Shouse,
is dry unless he has undergone an
eleventh hour change of heart in
emulation of the candidate whom he
is supposed to serve.

These effects are derived primar-
lily from increase in the force and
rate of the heart, of the breathing
and stimulation of the secretion OF
the material by the skin.
AS a result, it is possible through
exercise to make a complete change
in the liquid materials of the body
removing old accumulations of
waste, and releasing energy for mo-
tive power.
There seems to be no doubt that
exercise stimulates growth, particu-
larly of the muscles, and perhaps
through stimulation of the chemis-
try of the body growth, also of the
bones.
Exercise is related, moreover, to
improved functionipg not only of
the organs within the abdomen,
such as the heart and the liver, but
also of the brain.
1t should be remembered, how
ever, that exercise should be suited
to age and physical condition and
never must be continued to the
point of exhaustion.

Vernin of the Sky

DETWEEN the minor and the
ID major planets are the asteroids.
These number more than one thou
sand. The largest. Ceres. has a di-
ameter of 148 miles. Some have
diameters of less than ten miles.
They have been called noun
tairs broke loose" Occasionally
they also have been referred to by
the uncomplimentary title of "the
vermin of the sky
Their origin is mystery. 1t has
been suggested that they are the
debris of a planet that exploded.
Another theory is that they repre-
sent material which failed to CO.
alesce and form a planet.
The major planets are four in
number The first is the largest.
1t is Jupiter, the big brother OF
the solar system. Jupiter is about
eleven times the size of the earth,
having a diameter of 86,720 miles.
The average density of Jupiter is
much less than that of the earth,
less than one-fourth. Yet the to-
tai mass of the planet is so great
that the force of gravity is about
two and half times as great on
Jupiter as on the earth.
Saturn, second of the major plan
cts, is almost as large as Jupiter,
having a diameter Of 1880 miles.
This planet is unique because of
its great system of rings. These
rings, composed of small bits of
rock and dust, present a special
problem to students of the origin
of the solar system, since no ade-
quate theory of their formation has
been propounded.
Next comes Uranus, and then
Neptune. They seem to be much
alike, Uranus having a diameter of
80, 400 miles, and Neptune, diam
eter of $1,000 miles.

SCIENCE
Difference IN Size of Planets
Helped Upset Nebuldr Hy-
pothesis of Ldpldce.
BY DAVID DIETZ-

Helped Upset Nebular Hy-
pothesis of LGpldce.
THE unusual order Of the plan
l. cts as to size is one Of the fac
tors which must be explained by
any adequate theory of the origin
of the solar system.
This was one of the points on
which the nebular hypothesis Of
Laplace broke down. Had the plan
cts been cast off in turn as q great
nebula condensed to form the sun,
it seems as though the first planet
should have been the largest, the
second, the next largest, and 50 on.
But that is not the case.
Let us see what the facts are. We
find two groups of planets, a minor
and a major one, separated by the
asteroids. We find further, in
newly discovered Pluto, the first,
perhaps, of third and as yet un-
discovered group.
The four planets nearest the sun
are the minor planets. They some
times are called the terrestrial plan
cts, because they include our own
earth and are of of sizes compar-
able to that of the earth. The
earth, incidentally, is the largest
of the four.
First comes Mercury, smallest of
all the planets, with a diameter of
300 miles. Next is Venus, almost
the size of the earth, with a diam
eter of 100 miles. Third in order
is our own earth, with a diameter
of 1920 miles. Fourth 10 Mars,
about half the size of the earth,
with a diameter of APIS miles.

Pluto Is Puzzle

M LIN Vic discovery "a rAuOo'
w astronomers we're faced with
a new series of puzzling questions.
It had been more or less generally
assumed that Pluto would resemble
Uranus and Neptune in size and
other characteristics.
Pluto, however, resembles the ter
restial planets in size. 1t is smaller
than the earth. 1t may be no larger
than Mars.
It's orbit also is quite different
from what astronomers expected. It
is more f1attened than that of any
of the other planets and is inclined
at a considerable angle to the gen.
eral plane of the other planets.
The eccentricity of the orbit is so
great that the planets distance
from the sun varies by 1900 600
miles. When it is closest to the sun,
it is slightly closer than Neptune.
When farthest from the sun, the
distance from the sun is 1900, 000,0 900
miles.
DR.. F. r. Moulton and number
of other astronomers take the view
that Pluto may be related in some
way to the asteroids.
1t also is thought that Pluto may
prove the first of group Of trans
Neptunian planets, which will have
many characteristics in common
with the asteroids.
At any rate, Pluto introduces a
number of new and confusing prob
lens for the student of the origin
Of the solor system.
An interesting theory put forward
by Sir James Jeans is that the plan
cts may have resulted from the
breaking up of cigar-shaped fila
ment of material pulled out Of the
sun by a passing star.
The planets can be made to fit
into such a filament if 1t is as
sumed that the latest part of the
filament occurred where J..s>sso

From It's Inception, the
Roosevelt Contention Has
Been q Gumshoe, Horse
Trading Affair, With No
Tricks Barred.
AN hour of debate over the
/ n Louisiana delegation, another
hour of debate over the Minnesota
delegation, and still another of de-
bate over the question of whether
Jouett Shouse, or Senator Thomas
Walsh should be permanent chair
man, just as though the arguments
counted and the oratory meant
something, just as though nine of
every ten people in the Chicago audi
forum did not know what the row
was all about, and what issue would
decide it.
The Minnesota case was different
from the Louisiana case, while the
selection of a permanent chairman
obviously had nothing to do with
contest in any state, but the lineup
was practically the same in all three
roll calls.
The Roosevelt crowd voted for the
delegations and the permanent
chairman, which its hand-picked
committees had recommended, while
the ti-Roosevelt crowd voted
against them. In each instance, the
division was q test, and the average
can be taken as fair index of rela-
tive strength.
Governor Roosevelt was revealed
as controlling a clear majority of
the LISA votes, but as lacking about
135 of the necessary two-thirds.
That makes any explanation of his
abortive attempt to break the
two-thirds rule unnecessary.

XXTHILE the fall and winter sea-
w sons are devoted primarily
to sports of high speed and extreme
muscular effort, such as football
skating, skiing and basketball; sum-
mer sports, such as baseball, track
athletics and swimming, place espe-
cial burdens on the muscular and
nervous systems because of their
demands on the heat-regulating
mechanism Of the body.
In consideration of the desir-
ability of various forms of exercise,
DR.. Jesse F. Williams points out
five definite values to be sought.
First, there is increase in the cir
culation of the blood, which car
ries food to the tissues, removes
waste, equalizes the water and heat
content of the body, and aids dis
tribution of materials derived from
glands of internal secretion.
