CHICAGO Triumph

IN addition to Nicholson, the win
L ners of the Nobel prize in
physics were DR.. Robert A. Millikan
in 1923 and DR.. Arthur H. Compton
in 1927.
The Nobel prize in physics has
been somewhat of a triumph for the
University of Chicago. DR.. Michel
son was professor of physics at the
University Of Chicago until the time
of his death.
Both Millikan and Compton re-
ceived their training in Michelson's
laboratory. Millikan left his post
as professor at Chicago to become
director of the California Institute
Of Technology. Compton still is a
professor at Chicago.
Just as the Nobel prize in physics
has been triumph for the Uni
versity of Chicago, so the Nobel
prize in medicine has represented an
American monopoly for the Rookie
Teller Institute for Medical Research.
Both winners of this prize are
members of the institution, DR..
Alexis Carrel, who received the prize
in 1912, and DR.. Karl Landsteiner.

Death Goes a-Hunting

The fall hunting season is now on in most states:
and already the annual reports of accidental shoot
lrgs have begun to pour in, in number which almost
leads one to classify hunting as an extra hazardous
occupation
In many sections, especially near the big cities
Vhe country seems to be so thickly settled that it
is almost impossible to hunt without undergoing a
heavy risk
But MOST of the casualties seem to arise from
the fact that many of our ardent hunters are men
who simply do not know how to handle firearms
There is nothing very dangerous about Training
through the woods with a loaded gun-if Won know
just how to handle it. If you don't, however there
are a lot OF ways in which you can come to grief.
Hunting would be lot less risky if the man who
isn't perfectly familiar with firearms would decide tn
stay home and get his thrills by reading book.

For a LynchleSs 1893

The Association of Southern Women for the preven-
ton of lynching ended its Atlanta meeting by
nouncing that in this there have been only six
ynchngs in the United States with only four of these
in the south.
This is a fifty-year record low. The brutal and
capricious DEGREES of lynch law have sent to sudden
death 480 persons in the last fifty years and for forty
years the average number of victims 100 year.
The women organizing in dozen southern states
hope for "a ynchless south in 1882 Their hopes may
be realized since Mississippi the nations worst often
der in the past has not had lynching in more than
year.
There are two forces at work to put end to
lynchings in this country One is growing determi-
nation of law officers and courts to halt the encroach
ment of mobs upon their prerogatives.
The other is public opinion When we become civ
ilized we shall not hunt down fellow human be-
ings in wolfish mobs.

Let the children Teach Us

Emerging through the dark clouds of the depres-

scowlers among us and the defeatiss and those who
would have believe that there is not peace on earth
and no good will toward men as we turn the corner
OF Thanksgiving and begin the last lap of the year
toward Christmas.
The ray Of sunshine is contained in a little story
from Warm Springs, Ca where Franklin D. Roosevelt
fought his way back to health and the White House.
1t tells that there are lines in the faces of the
boys and girls there but that they are lines of
laughter as these youngsters rush about in their

They have known the torture of pain Maybe they
will know it again. The less afflicted among them
wear braces their legs and can get about after
fashion, without of wheel chairs They are glad
OF that. Their physical Affections have become
merely incidental to them. Life is what counts and

SCIENCE
II Nobel Prizes to u. S.

Der of one of Americas most select
circles. For only twelve Americans
ever have won that most coveted Of
awards. Of the twelve, four no
longer are living.
The Nobel prizes are divided into
five classifications, three of which
are scientific. The five are: Physics,
chemistry, medicine, literature, and
promotion of peace.
The first time the prize ever came
to America it was for promotion of
peace. President Theodore Roose-
welt was awarded the prize in 1905
for his work in bringing the Rus
sian-Japanese war to a conclusion.
The second time it came to Amer
lea it was in the field of physics.
That was in 1907 when it was
awarded to the late Professor Albert
A. Nicholson, famous throughout
the world as the high priest of
light"

Killing the Primary

While lack of funds may demand many economies
in government, certainly there should be a stopping
point before the people lose entire control Of govern
ment.
If politicians believe that the time has arrived to
completely destroy the direct primary as means Of
nominating candidates for public Office they are mis-
taken.
Most disquieting is the suggestion that the pri-
mary be abolished for the nomination Of candidates
for mayor and other city Offices
Older citizens will have no difficulty in remember
Ing the conditions that prevailed id most cities be-
tore the coming of the primary
The special interests, generally a combination of
the saloon and the utilities bossed the bosses and
pamed their candidates or both tickets
When any sacrifice was made, it was the saloon
that suffered. The dollar boys always in control
and it under this rule that many of the troubles
of the present day in the matter of utility extortions
found their origin.
The primary gave the people weapon by which
they had some defense against the organized poll
ticians.
To abolish that system at present would only mean
that in most Of the cities for the next four years
there would again the rule of special interests
acting through political bosses.
If there be a need of economy, and there is the
simpler way is the adoption of a city manager form
of government for all first and second class cities
made mandatory by the legislature
The sentiment of this city on that question has
already been registered Six out of every seven
citizens want it,
Instead of killing the primary "a drive for the non
partisan city manager government would be more in
keeping with the promise of the new DEAL"

Repeal Versus Tinkering

Before joining in the general rejoicing over the
Democratic decision to force house vote the opening
day Of congress on socaled resubmission of prohbi
ton, we would like to know about the nature
of that resolution
If it is to be a straight repeal proposition-as
pledged by the victorious Democratic party in it's
platform and campaign-splendidl But if it is to be
a mere change in the eighteenth amendment as pro-
posed by President Hoover and the Republican plat
form the sooner it is killed the better.
Clearly, the states ready to vote on the prohi
bton amendment issues but it is too much to expect
them to vote twice Therefore the form of the propo-
sition put to the states by congress probably will
determine the issue for long time.
If the Hoover project for a modified amendment
"outlawing" the saloon and retaining the federal
police power now in the eighteenth amendment, is
put to the states doubtless will ratified by them
a half-step better than nothing.
But that action probably would delay indefinitely
any further action outright repeal
1t is very important that citizens not be confused
by the loose phrases used by politicians in referring
INTERCHANGEABLE to repeal and to so-caed Hoover
submission, as though the two virtually were the
same.
They not the same, but contradictory Repeal
is the platform of the -prohibonists Modifica-
ton of the amendment is the platform Of the
treating drys, who hope to save and to perpetuate
the federal police power in prohibition.
There is no excuse for any politician to confuse
these two programs for the fight between them was
the specific issue at both Republican and Democratic
conventons-and this has been the definite issue ever
since.

Every Day Religion
BY DIR. JOSEPH FORT NEWTON

A READER in Detroit asks me
L n to write about prayer, and
he gives me title to use, 'Tun-
ing In on God" 1t is a perfect
title, and it gives us hint as
to the nature Of prayer, if not a
key to it.
When we hear a man say that
it does no good to pray, because
our prayers are not answered, it
may be that he has wrong idea
of what prayer is. For prayer is
surely something more than a
demand note, something more
than dropping a nickel in a
slot machine and taking out a
piece of candy.
After all, what is prayer if it
be not tuning our minds to a
Mind wiser than we are-adjust-
ing our hearts to a Love greater
than our own? If waves of force

solid, if electricity can be trans

Is not that action, in itself, start
ing political or partican criticism?
wouldn't it have been better just to
send the invitation to Governor
Roosevelt and explain the rest at
the conference? Wouldn't that have
been a better partisan stand
thereby not subjecting Roosevelt to
undue criticism?
Roosevelt answers informally and
in several places repeats the fact
that he accepts and thanks the
President for the invitation. Is that
shifting responsibility? interpreted
Governor Roosevelt's last statement
as an answer to Hoover'S sixteenth
paragraph of the invitation sent.
Every one should have a copy of
that telegram, as believe President
Hoover intended the public should
have. It will come in handy four
years from now.

EREE and unrestricted dlstrlou-
Il ton of farm produce among
the states not only would save for
the consumer, but also give produc-
ers better prices for their produce,
one of the fundamental principles
of our government.
However, instead of this, we have
a few selfish merchants who have
gone so far as to stop competition
by city ordinances and state laws,
with licenses so high as TO proDlC
free, open competition, for their
own personal benefit against the
people.
My experience has been, in ship
ping farm produce into different
cities and state, that these costs
are SO high that they prohibit the
sale of produce to the people.
These ordinances are unconsti-
tutional and have been defeated in
higher courts. And still they insist
on enforcing them against the peo-
pie.
The people pay all taxes and they
are the ones who should be pro-
tected and not the merchants. SO
what is this, a government of the
people, or a government of merch-
ants? ARTHUR B. HAMILL.

e
nUITE recently several investi-
~ gators succeeded in developing
a technic for diagnosing with more
than fair degree of certainty the
fact that a woman was pregnant.
This test, known as the Aschheim-
Zondek test, depends on the pres
ence in the urine Of woman OF a
hormone derived from a gland.
More than ten years ago, an in
vestigator named Manoiloh suggest
ed that there are different hormones
IN male and in female blood and
that test of the blood might be
developed which would reveal the
circulation of male hormones.
However, the test he worked out,
and those of many others who fol-
lowed him, did not appear to work
with a sufficient amount of certain
ty to warrant its general acceptance.

est forces known on earth, can
be used.
IF this be so, every man, regard
Il less of race, color, or creed, can
tune in on a world of purity and
power, as a musician tunes in on a
world of music. Maybe prayer is
not getting from God, but getting
to God through the mists and fogs
of the mind, not asking Him to do
something for us, but to do some
thing in lis and with us.
1t is not begging God to give us
what we want, but asking Him to
make us worthy to do what He
wants us to do.
Anyway, if we try to use God
for our own ends instead of being
used by Him for His ends, our
prayer fails-we can not exploit
God.
1t is odd that Jesus did not argue
about prayer; he just prayed, and
that is the only test. If he needed
it in living his good life, it is sheer
vanity of us to imagine that we
can do without it and live a good
life.
