Editor Times-I see in the News
Kenneth L. Ogle's explanation OF
the retirement of Rear Admiral
Byrd of the navy. Mr.. Ogle is right
in his statement of the govern
ment's retirement policy. The re-
tirement of Admiral Sims and Gen
eral Pershing at the age OF "a, the
statutory age of retirement, was in
line with this policy.
However, / do question the good
taste andapropriety Of retired Off
GERS taking a stand against any
veteran legislation, regardless OF
their private opinion.
But Mr.. Ogle is speaking Of the
governments implied contract with
Admiral Byrd-that contract "en-
tered into with each regular officer
when he enters the service" In ad-
dition to retirement. for age, this
contract, as Mr. Ogle pleases to call
it, provides for two other claims for
retirement: Thirty years service or
disability in line of duty Of such
degree as to unfit one for active
duty. This regardless Of length OF
service. Has Admiral Byrd kept this
contract?
Admiral Byrd was born in 1888
He was graduated from the United
States Naval Academy in 1912; re-
tired in 1916 for disability caused
from a bad foot. So far, so good
as no doubt the retirement board
based its action upon the best med
ical opinion.
But the board evidently was
wrong, as he was placed on the
active list at the outbreak of the
World war. This. too. is regular
and in line with sound government

Anti-Alien

For some reason hard to fathom, Secretary of
Labor Doak has been selected to bring the foreign
language vote into the fold for Hoover.
In this undertaking, more serious handicap
scarcely could be conceived than the record of the
secretary in regard to immigration and deportation
1t has been his proud boast that under him. the num-
Der of departing aliens exceeds the number of those
coming to the United States for the first time in our
history.
He has sought larger and larger funds for depora-
ton work, stressfng this as previous secretary
has done.

Method Sin1pIified

V-RAY chemical analysis is par
IA ticularly useful in dealing with
the heavier chemical elements
which are very difficult to analyze
by ordinary chemical means. 4
1t is the only method which viii
identify the presence of some of the
very rare elements.
Prior to development Of the ca
thode ray tube, x-ray analysis was
very difficult, because it was nee
essary to insert the substance to be
analysed into an x-ray tube. The
substance took the place of the tar
get in the tube.
The X-rays which were generated
then were spread out into a spec
trun1. The chemical elements pres
ent then were identified by the lines
present in the spectrum.
Since the cathode ray tube pro-
duceS an electron stream iii air. it
is only necessary to bring the SUBJ
stance to be analysed near the tube.
The electron stream then is
trained on it. AS a result, X-ravs
are produced in the air which then
are analysed in the usual fashion.
Another important vacuum tube
is the photo-electric cell. AS DR..
Hull points out, the photo-eIectric
cell is older than many people think.
The first ones were made about
forty years ago. But most of the de-
velopment of the tube has come
within the last five years, because
OF their important applications in
the making of talking movies.
The newest photo-electric cell de,.
yeloped at the G. E. laboratories is
the caesium photo tube, known as
the PJ-23. 1t is 100 times more sem
sltiye than previous photo-electric
cells.

Essential as charity may be for
relief, it is futile as a means of re-

hope won't mean much, until it

Cure by Walking Round

DUT even those who think that
ID it was monstrouS and unfair
rather would not have the matter
mentioned again. Now, surely they
can't believe that prejudice can be
cured or wiped out by the simple
process Of never admitting that
there is such thing.
After all, we tried that rather
unsuccessfully here in regard to
the problem of unemployment. The
whole strategy of leaders in the be-
ginning waA based on the hope
that if joblessness was kept secret,
millions of people never would re-
alize that they were out of work.
No problem ever has been settled
in any country until the settlement
is just and fair and right. Surely
that isn't true of the year 1928.
People who swept whole states from
their moorings by zz-buzzing
around the country with silly little
innuendoes certainly are not con-
vinced that the Use of the religious
issue in politics is bad thing.
The trouble is that it worked, aI.S
it worked with terrific effectiveness.

cause there the technique lies

Al Smith was the man who re-

Work Is First

4 S every one knows, our indus
1 n trial system depends on a cir
cular movement. It requires work
to create buying power, and buying
power to create work, but, as be-
tween the two, work comes first.
The production end Of business
which depends on selling things
could not stand the strain of pro-
viding a sufficient amount of work
before it collected.
1t could, and would, have done a
great deal, however, with the proper
guidance and help. The help should
have come, not through an extern
sion Of credit, which the production
end of business was unable to use,
but through an extension of credit
in such way as would have put large
numbers of people at work in other
lines.
EOR three years We have f1irted
Il and f1oundered with the theory
that if capital could be modified
the problem would be solved, when
the problem hinged On mobilization
of man power, restoration of con-
fldence, reawakening of courage.
People feel, as well as think, and
it often iS,difficult to separate their
feelings from what we call in
telligence. Time and time again, a
confident, but poorly equipped army
has beaten one which possessed
everything except enthusiasm.
Human capacity is beyond any
method of bookkeeping yet devised.
BY the ledger, production should
have turned out a financial success,
but it did not. BY the ledger, this
depression represented little more
than a paper loss at the outset.
BY the ledger, we have just as
many men, women, and children de-
string the good things of life as we
did three years ago, just as much
land, just as many buildings, just
as good mechanical equipment and
just as great a wealth in raw re-
sources.
BY the ledger, the increase of
taxes which congress authorized
should have balanced the budget.

Window of Aluminium

EXPERIMENTS also are beinaa
H carried on in the use of high
frequency currents, such as the
power pilotron tubes develop, as a
means of sterilizing milk and other
foods.
Another interesting tube which
has been developed in the G. E.
laboratories is powerful cathode
ray tube. This is a glass vacuum
tube which has an aluminium plate
at one end.
This plate is known technically as
a window" and it is window for
electrons, since these can make their
way between the atoms of the
aluminium as easily as small flies
can make their way through a fence
Of large wire mesh.
An electric current-which is a
stream of electrons-hows from an
electrode at one end of the tube
toward the aluminium window.
/ BY putting high positive poten-
tial on the window, the electron
stream is attracted so forcefuIly
that 1t hits the window at an ex-
tremely high speed
The result is that the electron
stream passes right through the
window into the air for a distance
of two or three inches.
In the ordinary X-ray tube, tina.
X-rays are produced when a strearR
OF electronS strikes a metallic tar
get inside the tube.
BY permitting the electron stream
from the cathode ray tube to strike
metallic object, it Is possible to
produce X-rays in the air.
This is a great convenience to
scientists. One of the sure tests Of
the presence of a minute amount of
a substance is the method of x-ray

Vacuum Tubes Are Playing

ing World of Industry.
THE little vacuum tubes in your
Il radio set are the grandfathers
Of a great family of all sorts Of
tubes, some of them giants, some
of them dwarfs, that seem destined
to find wide applications in the
world around us.
In fact, they are playing an i'm
portant role in remaking the world
Of industry.
Among the giants, which might be
considered grandchildren of the
original radio tubes, are the So
called power pliotron- tubes" These
are the tubes used in radio broad
casting stations to broadcast the
waves which you receive upon your
radio sets.
They range in size from tubes
with a power rating Of five watts to
those of 500 kilowatts power. A
kilowatt is 1000 watts.
These tubes, according to DR.. A
w. Hull, assistant director of tho.
General Electric research labora!
tories, are beginning to find appli-
cation in industry.
One of their uses is to generate
high frequency currents which can
be used to heat metals.
This new way Of bringing metals
to high temperatures is proving i'm
portant in many industries.
High frequency currents also may
find a use in medicine. Expert
ments have shown that they can be
used to raise the heat of the blood,
in fact. induce a fever.
These radio fevers" now are be
ing tried out as means of treating
arthritis and paresis.

VATICAN CITY. October 27.-The
Pope strongly condemned modern art,
especially as it dealt with religious SUBJ

The ceremony was attended by 18
cardinals, who heard the ,1ontiff declare
that the new school of painting resolved
itself Into caricature and even pro-
fanation" in touching religious subjects:
He recommended that the bishops of
the world be doubly careful of the art
they permit to be introduced IN
churches.

"The list of masterpieces in this
gallery" the Pope said, shows how
religious sentiment is capable of full
development in any art. any epoch and
any surrounding, as long as art re-
mains faithful to its inspiration"
The Pope said he grieved because
false art can be found In many
churches which house God and prayer
He said artists should always remember
that religious art must be in con-
formity with the religious"
The pontiff reminded his hearers
that this also is required bV churches

responsible for seeing that these
criteria,' he said, "are followed in all

He added that the doors OF the
