Dynamic Meter
THE tabIes also introdnce :

THE tables also introduce a new
IL unit, the dynamic meter" for
use in meteorological calculations
Its purpose is to express differences
in atmospheric levels.
1T was from the work of the
celebrated Norwegian mathemati-
clan and meteorologiSt. Professor v.
BJerknes, that we first gained the
concept Of dynamic meters for ex-
pressing the distance between level
surfaces in the atmosphere" DR..
Kimball says.
TO lift a unit mass of air from
one level surface to another means
the expenditure OF energy to over
come the gravity pull. The force
OF gravity varies with altitude as
we'll as with latitude.
Therefore. the distance between
level surfaces in the atmosphere
also will vary with both latitude
and altitude when expressed in
linear units. but a unit can be Sc
lected that will eliminate these Diff
ferences. The dynamic meter is
such a measure.
1t is related TO the meter of the
linear system through the value Of
gravity at different ATTITUDES and
attitudes. Strictly speaking. IL IA
measure Of gravity potential. or
work done in overcoming the rrav-
ity pull, rather than a measure Of
height"
The tables also include data for
the measurement OF heights by OBJ
servation OF the temperature Of
boiling water-based on the princi-
pie that the greater the distance
from sea level. the less the at
mospheric pressure, and the lower
the atmospheric pressure, the lower
the boiling point.
While this is not an entirely accu-
rate measurement. It is included for
convenience Of explorers because OF
the ease with which a thermometer
can be transported.
More accurate measurement of
heights, 1t Is explained, can be Sc
cured with standard barometer.

Peoples Voice

Editor Times-As a member of the
executive committee of the Indiana
Association of Workers for the
Blind. 1 would like to say word in
defense of the ordinance, introduced
in the city council meeting recently.
licensing local blind persons TO oper-
ate on our streets.
Our association Endorsed and sup
ported this ordinance for the pri-
mary reason that it provides that
only the blind that have lived in In
dianapolis for five years or mere
would be licensed, thus barring from
the streets nonresident blind. or
''hoaters," who should not become
burden to our community.
Many Of our local blind have, be-
cause of the depression, been denied
the opportunity Of engaging in gain
full occupation, thus becoming a bur-
den to our local charities. David
Liggett, executive secretary of the
Community Fund, and Eugene G.
Foster. secretary of the Indianapolis
Council of Social Agencies, both
claimed that their organizations
could take care Of these unfortunate
blind, but our experience in the
matter has proved the contrary.
The matter is not a question of
temporary relief. but of finding a
way to help these men to support
their families. Since the state,
through its agencies established for
the blind. can give but a small num-
Der employment and since the social
agencies at best could do but little
to relieve them and could rot as
sumo the burden Of taking care Of
them permanently, there is only one
avenue open-that Of appearing on
the street and selling their musical
talent or such small merchandise as
they can handle.

the mass realizes his power and his
potentialities in standing shoulder
to shoulder with his comrades.
Among the partisans OF the new
world bitter rows arise because one
man calls himself a ''revolutionist"
while another announces that he
believes in evolutionary develop
ment." But such phrases are not
mutually exclusive A revolution is
simply the palpable end-product of
fermenting forces.
That fermentation will be fast or

ditionS surrounding the mash.
Somebody may stir it now and

IMPRESSION has led to defla-

lied world. Prices and wages are
lower than they ought to be in
every land. If they are not raised,
the major portion of all interns-
tional debts must be cancelled.
The worlds only hope of meeting

Why not a conference on the
problem, as England suggests-a

which handicap a free exchange

Action Is Inevitable

A PART from that. the Demo-
IA Gratis are in excellent posi-
ton to support such a program of
public works through federal bond
issues as Senator Robinson of Ar
kansas suggests. That is one case
in which they easily might take the
play out OF President Hoover's
hands
Besides, something Of the sort is
inevitable. Sooner or later the
government will be forced into the
financing of public work, just as
it was forced into balancing the
budget.
The situation we face has passed
beyond the strength of private en-
terprise. 1t has become impossible
for people TO help one another as
they should. and as they must, ex-
cept through use Of government
agencies and powers.

WHY not a conference with

why persist in keeping that partic-

Why not more positive efforts to

The BigOtry Bureau

Heights Of Stiffness are attained by the bureau OF
naturalization in its proceedings against Gunnar
Bruvold of Vermont, Norwegisn-born Methodist
minister, who has been accepted as citizen of the
United States, although he is unwilling to take human
life in time OF war.
The naturalization bureau has charged that Br,l-
void obtained citizenship by fraud. in spite of the
fact that he told the examining Judge when his ap-
pication was being heard. that he could not kill
and the Judge commented that he, too was averse
TO taking human life
Instead of appealing the case to higher court
as the naturalization bureau should have done if it
felt unwilling to have law-abidng peaceloving cit
liens, the bureau has brought serious and unwar-
ranted charges against churchman who can not
fail to be injured by the fraud accusations even
though they are not sustained.
If the bureau has grievance, it is clearly against
the Judge who accepted Brhvold as a citizen rather
than the minister who expressed his unwilIingness
to bear arms. To prosecute Bruvold will seem the
act Of an oppressive and tyrannous bureaucracy.

MIR. IRWIN S. COBB in the
1VA course of a recent interview in
the New York Herald Tribune re-
marked. What the Democratic
party needs are followers and not
leaders"
think this text is broad enough
to cover far more territory than
that embraced by the runner-up
party in American politics. Indeed,
the function of a leader always has
been grossly exaggerated in the
thought and history of the world.
A writer of history falls into the
same error as reporter at college
football game. The Sunday news
papers tell us during the season that
Able Booth ran eighty-five yards
for a touchdown or that somebody
else kicked a field goal from the
thirty yard line, and the i'm
preston prevails that the contest
was chiefly won or lost by the tall
entS or the errors of one or two
men on either side.
The interference which cleared the
way for the runner or the line which
gave the kicker time to drop the ball
and boot it never gets into the head
lines and seldom even into the text
Of the story.

NEW YORK. May 12.-It is not
1 ' belittling the importance Of a
balanced budget to say that il leaves
the major problem unsoived. The
fact that Uncle Sam will be able TO

Recovery Can Be Aided
ONE need not favor the dole, or
~ even unemployment insur-
ance, to believe that public policy
so can be shaped and public credit
so handled as to promote recovery.
1t is absurd to argue that this
government was justified in Dor
rowing thirty billion dollars for war.
but is not justified in borrowing
one-fifth, or even one-tenth, that
amount to meet emergencies of
peace.
1t is equally absurd to suppose
that the sensible use of credit
would interfere with a balanced
budget.
