which is the sheet anchor in the
control of heart disease.
1t has accomplished more for pa
tents with heart disease than any
procedure, except properly con-
trolled rest and hygiene.
In some instances in which a
considerable amount of fluid had
collected in the tissues because of
the weakness of the circulation, the
physicians were able, through me-
chanical removal of the fluid by
tapping, and through the prescrib-
ing of drugs which are known to
have special. value in eliminating
fluid from the body, to give patients
a considerable amount Of help.
In some cases in which the de-
compensation was cute and serious,
the administration of oxygen over
brief period of time enabled the
patients to weather the storm, after
which proper treatment gave them
added years of life.

the senator suddenly dashed out
with the statement that he was not
going to allow any convention to
coerce him.
He must realize that only the most
tyrannical manipulation could have
produced bone dry plank and that
such declaration would have rep
resented the view of tiny minority.
And yet he abuses-the majority,
not because they failed to get their
whole desire, but because they at
tanned even a part of it.
In other words, everybody else in
the party should have sacrificed his
honest convictions to protect the
purity of the soul which belongs to
William E. Borah.
I think it entirely reasonable that
he should dislike the Republican
party and its point of view, and 1
could have wished that he had based
his attack upon problems which
are even more fundamental than
prohibition.
But the basic question remains:
If the senator is so much out of
sympathy with his associates, why
does he hang around? Surely he
can not still believe that there is
any utility in the labors of one who
seeks to Borah from within.

Peoples Voice

Editor Times-Hurrah for Indiana
and Governor Leslie! We certainly
showed our colors when state trans
portation was denied the bonus
army of forty-one penniless men
with an invalid in their midst.
I am for them, every one of them.
They left everything that was dear
to them to fight for the good old
U. S. A. Indiana built them fine
war memorial right here in Indian
apoliS, but it wasn't made of bread
or potatoes or the necessities Of life.
1t is made of stone and the price
ran into the millions mark, but the
state is without funds to furnish a
few trucks to haul forty-one of the
men that this beautiful memorial
represents, a hundred miles or so.
OF course, I realize that the whole
country is in very bad situation,
as far as money is concerned. Who
put it in this condition? Not the
boys who faced the German bullets
or lay in muddy trenches, and were
lucky to come back with their lives,
even though they we're without an
arm or leg, or were gassed or shell
shocked.
If the public hasn't got its eyes
open, it would better start looking
before another election rolls around.
I am just an every day reader of
The Times and I suppose you will
think I am a man, but I am a
woman and I have seven children,
five of them are boys.
When you have five boys and the
oldest one is getting around to the
age where he could be taken to fight
for his country, if we should have
another war, you would study lot
about what it would mean to you
and your boy.
Some day he might be one Of a
hungry, penniless bonus army.

TINE only thing more muddled
i than the Republican prohibition
plank is Senator Borah's speech on
that portion of the platform.
The latest blast from Idaho's sta
tionary progressive has been hailed
by some as a notice that the sena-
tor intends to bolt. Any one who
has followed his career must real
ize that even in his fiercest moves
Mr.. Borah would not bolt so much
as an anchovy.
In other years there have been
Ravens to which he could run, and
he has not run. Now that he has
nowhere to go, it is uncomfortable
that he is going to proceed at full
speed in that direction.
In almost every presidential year
up till now, followers of Mr.. Borah's
clearly enunciated principles have
gathered beneath his window shout
ing, "Bill, come on and jump; we've
go5 a net"
And in every instance the sena-
tor from Idaho has wet one finger
to test the velocity of the wind and
then remembered that a falling
body travels sixteen feet in the
first second. Remembering that, he
promptly has closed the window and
gone back to bed again, leaving his
followers to sing Our Bonnie Lies
Over the Ocean"

He Won't Leap

A CCORDINGLY, I do not be-
N lieve that in the year 1882 Will
liam E. Borah is going to leap to the
bare sidewalk without so much as
the benefit of a blanket. If 1t had
been possible for him to attend the
convention, he conceivably might
have stirred sup a dry revolt against
the platform.
In all logic, there should have
been two minority planks instead of
one. The connection which the ma
jority presented, for all its vague
ness, contained at least hint that
maybe everything was not well with
the eighteenth amendment. The
leaders were unwilling to admit that
it was sick unto death, but they did
not deny that it seemed to have a
very nasty cough.
But by now the drys are Modified.
The plank adopted is at least
strategic. You can put a crease after
the first few sentences and, by fold
ing down the rest, convince Mrs.
Boole that she got what she wanted.
And the drys are not going to kick
over the traces at Borah's instiga-
ton, because they have heard sweet
music. To them the loud COM
plants of the repealers have been
as welcome as anthems. They
have decided, 'if these fellows dis
like the plank so much it ought to
be satisfactory to us"

Why Pick On Us2

A S humanitarian proposition,
"A any material reduction of ar
maments might be worth $11, 000,-
100000, but why should we pay all
the bill? What have we done as
votaries of the war god that we
should be singled out to make the
grand sacrifice?
Not pausing to get excited over
that point, the whole thing sounds
illogical First, we maintain that
a nations ability to pay is an ALL
important factor in determining
or how much, it should pay. Then
we insinuate that if it were to spend
less for military purposes, we might
be indulgent and write off some, if
not all, Of what it owes us.
But if a nation were to spend
less for military purposes, its ability
to pay what it owes automatically
would be increased.

NEW YORK, June 22.-Limita-

desirable. Nothing would do more
to lessen possibility of war.

serves great credit for the work it

If not, why did Ambassador Glib

The implication is too plain to

The Marian Seasons


A S already indicated, all the
L y planets beyond Mars are too
far from the sun to obtain enough
heat to support life as we know it.
This view is supported by themo-
couple measurements which indicate
temperatures far below zero for
Jupiter and Saturn.
Venus and Mars, however, COM
pare favorably with the earth.
The strongest evidence for life on
Mars is not the canals. They still
are the basis Of considerable contro-
versy. The best evidence is the
change in color of large patches of
the planets surface with the change
in season.
Great patches, which grow green
with the approach Of the Marian
summer, turn brown and red with
the coming Of Marian autumn. It
seems, therefore, to many astrono-
mers that they must be vegetation.
1t is also of importance that the
polar caps, white in color, grow
large during the Marian winter and
smaller during the summer.
Many astronomers therefore think
that they are composed of ice which
melts with the coming Of warm
weather.
Thermocouple measurements fndi-
cate that the day is reasonably
warm on Mars, although the nights
are extremely cold.
Mars has an atmosphere, al
though it is not so dense as that of
the earth. Spectoscopic observations
by Adams and ST. John indicate
that it contains both oxygen and
water vapor.

SCIENCE
BY DAVID DIETZ-

Astronomers Veer to View
That Life May Erist on
Both Mars and Venus.
A sTRONOMERS. at one time
L n very skeptical of the notion
that any planet but our own earth
might be inhabited, are inclining
more and more to the view that life
probably exists on both Mars and
Venus. the earth's nearest planetary
neighbors.
Russell Of Princeton, Jeans and
Eddington of England, Campbell OF
the Lick observatory, and Coblentz
Of the United States bureau of
standards, are few of the eminent
authorities who agree that there IS
vegetation upon Mars.
Venus, in the opinion of many
eminent students. including Nichol-
son and Petit of Mt. Wilson, should
be even a better abode for life than
is Mars.
This view was given tremendous
impuetuS within the last few weeks
by the discovery at Mt. Wilson by
Adams and Durham that the at
moSphere of Venus contains carbon
dioxide, one of the requirements of
life as we know it.
1t is interesting to trace the
change of opinion concerning the
planets. Originally, it was assumed,
of course, that life existed only upon
our earth.
Then, as more was known about
the plants, opinion became more lib
eral. In the nineteenth century
some astronomers argued that it
was quite possible that life might
exist on all the planets.
This was followed by a reaction
in the twentieth century. and most
astronomers took the view that only
our owE earth was inhabited.
But today that view is changing
again. There is good reason, how
ever, for believing that life as We
know it, is not possible on the plan
cts other than Venus and Mars. Let
us see why.

What Good Is PIedge2

CUPPOSE we were able to swap
- debts for pledges to disarm,
what would we be getting out of it?
When you. cancel, or revise, a
debt, that ends it, but when you
promise to disarm, you still are at
liberty to change your mind, espe-
cially in a world which has no
agency for enforcing promises.
Suppose European nations were to
agree to disarm tomorrow, and
suppose that in exchange for that
agreement we wrote off half, or all
their debts. Then suppose that
three, five or ten years hence, they
decided it was all a mistake.
What could we do? Why, moth
ing, of course. We might appeal to
the League of Nations, which we
won't join, or the world court, in
which we have refused to partici-
pate without reservations. We
might storm and buster, as is our
habit, and pass resolutions to keep
the record straight.
But, in the end, we would have
only great big zero to show for
our trouble, while Europe would
have its Cancelled notes.
Disarmament is a humanitarian
proposition, while war debts repre-
sent business transactions between
governments. The two should not
be mixed.

Size of Sun

MYTH the exception of Venus,
Wv the earth and Mars, the
other plants are either too close
to the sun for life as we know it,
or too far from it.
1t is interesting to contemplate
what the sun would look like from
various planets. From venus, which
is closer to the sun than our earth.
the sun would appear about one
fourth larger than it does as seen
from earth.
From Mars, which is farther from
the sun than the earth, the diam
eter would appear about one-fourth
less.
From Mercury, closest of all the
planets, the sun would appear three
times as large in the sky as it
does from earth.
From the planets beyond Mars,
the sun would appear quite small
in comparison with the way we see
the sun. From Jupiter, the sun
would appear only one-SiXth as
large as it does to US.
1t would be still smaller from the
other planets. From Neptune or
Pluto, the sun would not be much
larger than an arc light.
The falling off in heat and light
received would be much greater
than the changes in angular diam
eter. Neptune is eighty times as
far away from the sun as is Mer-
curry.
But Neptune would get only six
thousandth Of the amount of light
and heat that Mercury gets.
Mercury is so close to the sun
that it receives too much heat for
life as we know it, In addition, the
planet Mercury turns on its axis
in exactly the same time it revolves
about the sun.
Consequently, it always keeps the
same face turned toward the sun.
This face, so thermocouple measure
ments indicate, has a temperature
of about 300 degrees. Trying to
live on it, would be like trying to
live on hot stove lid
The other face of Mercury, always
turned toward outer cold and dark
ness, has temperature estimated
at about 459 degrees below zero.

WeakenS Democrats

TT is unfair to attack the motives

without convincing testimony, and
it may be that Senator Borah is
making a genuine effort to induce
the President to be drier than his
platform.
Newspapers have noted the fact
that Democrats are rejoicing in the
attack made by the gentleman from
Idaho. But, as a matter of prac-
teal politics, the speech has weak
ened the Democratic position. Borah
is one of those men in politics who
can blister a cause by the simple
act Of supporting it, and he has
done a great deal to bring the vets
back into the Republican camp.

Attitude Is PuZzIing

COMETIMES one finds it hard to
~ understand the operation Of
great minds.
At this precise moment, the
Hoover administration appears de-
termined to hold measures for the
relief of its own people down to a
minimum. In its opinion, the fed
eral government should not come
directly to the assistance of those
in distress. At the same time, it
intimates Willingness to dicker for
disarmament at the price of billions
We never needed the money owed
us by European nations as badly
as we do now. Nothing would do
more than disarmament to make
it easy for them to pay.
Yet our representative, presum-
ably speaking with the administra-
TONS approval, has stated the case
in such way as to leave the i'm
preston that if they disarm, they
can get out of paying.
