There were, incidentally, several

Proof positive that the trouble lay
in the use of such material was the
presence of lead salts on the battery
castings secured from the homes

When the castings are burned,
there is intense heat, and large
volumes of smoke pour out. Lead
is found in the smoke. And SCOT

Reform Is Needed

THERE ought to be less religion
Il in politics, but, to get less, we
must reform some of the politicians,
as well as some of the preachers.
The pulpit is not wholly to blame
for mixing creed with partisanship.
A good deal of it justly can be laid
to ward heelers and their bosses.
More than one candidate has been
picked with the idea that member
ship in this or that church would
insure him a large bloc of votes.
And he has been picked by politi-
clans who were more than willing to
go out and help him get 1t.
The whispering campaigns, about
which we hear so much, originate in
the mind of some politician nine out
of ten times, or spring up as the re-
suit of back-fence gossip which
politicians are only too glad to CAPT
talize.
One way of keeping the religious
issue out of politics is for politicians
to shut up about it on the one hand,
and refuse to take advantage of it
on the other.

Of course, children are more
likely to be affected than grown
ups, because a smaller amount of
lead can produce symptoms in the
child than in a grownup.

TINE current campaign grows
4 curiouser and curiouser. In
the beginning, the battle was to be
fought on the issues of un-
employment and prohibition. Both
problems have been mentioned, to
ho sure, but they no longer take up
the greater part of public addresses.
Indeed, it seemed to me that on a
recent occasion when Herbert Hoover
took the air the chief object was to
prove that the President has a sense
of humor, no matter what anybody
may say about it.
Then there is the big burning
issue brought up by Calvin Coolidge
and others as to Governor Roose-
velt's past in private school. The
ugly scandal is going around that
he was not born in log cabin. The
effort is being made to prove that
no man should be President of the
United States unless he spent his
early days in a house without
plumbing.

We have been, as every one knows,

Or. Abbot believes that fuctua-
tions in the suns radiation occur in

eight-month cycle. Superimposed
upon this, however, are cycles of II,

he believes.
The task of measuring the suns

sion. Win, lose or draw, I believe
that the opportunity to get rid of
this nightmare about what bigotry

nored.
The Democratic leaders felt other

that it was hopeless to renominate

to sacrifice him as we'll as a great
opportunity to render the nation a
a real service, rather than risk los

Sun and Weather

NIT. ST. KATHERINE rises S,540
1V1 feet above sea level from the
Sinai desert. 1t was chosen for the
Smithsonian Institution by DR.. Al
fred F. Moore after a long search
for the highest and driest access
sible spot in the eastern hemis-
phere.
He and other explorers for the
Smithsonian climbed m ain
peaks on three continents in the
search for this site.
DR.. Moore carried on observations
on the summit of Mt. st. Katherine
for four months before the Smith
sonian experts we're satisfied that it
was the best site.
When the Smithsonian astron-
omers settle down on Mt. st. Kathe-
rine, their nearest neighbors will be
the monks at the great monastery
of st. Katherine, ten miles below
them on the mountain side.
The site probably is the most
colorful location ever utilized for a
scientific station.
DR.. Abbot is interested in having
daily studies of the sun made from
widely separated stations, so that a
continuous record of the suns ra-
diation of light and heat can be
kept. n
When the sun is below the hori-
zon at one station, it is above the
horizon at one of the others.
1t is an obvious fact that the
earth depends upon the sun for its
light and heat. Therefore, in the
last analysis, the sun is the cause
of the earth's weather.
DR.. Abbot has devoted many years
of his life in search for the con-
nection between changes in the sun
and changes in the weather.
From studies at various solar OBJ
servatories, DR.. Abbot is convinced
that there are small changes in the
solar radiation from day to day, and
larger changes from year to year.

BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN
Editor Journal of the American Medical
Association and Of Hygeia, the
Health MaxaTine


A N instance typical of the health
hazards arising in industry
and modern living conditions is
afforded by the recent tragedy in
Baltimore, where thirty-six cases of
lead poisoning were traced to the
use of discarded storage battery
castings as fuel.
It seems that it has been the Gus
tom of junk dealers during the
period of economic distress to dis
tribute the castings of storage bat
teries to poor people after the
lead plates have been removed.
Apparently a considerable amount
of lead still is left in the castings,
so that when they are burned in
stoves in small rooms lead is in
hailed and lead poisoning follows.
While the exact number of peo-
pie involved has not been deter
