Washington, July 20-With the final
swing of the gavel to sound the signal
for adjournment in the Senate and
House of Representatives. weary legis-
lators who have been packed for
weeks have started their trek to face
the folks back home. Not since the
World War has a Congressional ses-
sion been faced with such stubborn
problems, important political devel-
opments and persistent polemics.
There are various reasons by Senators
and Representatives are not in high

Congress is in bad with the country

In some instances, however, it
was not possible to produce relaxa-

How We Got Our Blue Sunday

The Sunday charity shows and the anniversary of
the Lords day Alliance have brought to the fore
more the question of Blue Sundays. The alliance
boasts that closed 1000 stores New York alone

revival of the pagan Sunday.
No less a person than Herbert Hoover has written

The apostles of Blue Sunday talk much about the
pagan Sunday from which they trying to save us.
They might be startled to find that the Sunday taboo
which they trying to perpetuate, is of origin
indeed was originated by Mithraism the most bitter
opponent Of early Christianity.
Primitive people, everywhere, under the yoke Of an
all-pervading supernauralism, enforced many "rest
days The Jews with only little than fifty of
these days were rather more restrained than many
others. This whole subject has been admirably
married. by Professor Hutton Webster in his "Rest
Days" The Jews, of course, forbade work on Satur-
day, the real Sabbath day" but not on Sunday.
The Christians chose Sunday rather than Satur-
day as their day of worship and thanksgiving largely
because this the day which Christ was believed
to have arisen But the early Christians did not adopt
for the Sunday the sabbatarian tabooS of the jews
After they had met for confession, communion and
inspiration they scattered to their homes and might
work or play they fit subject to few and slight
restrictions.
To the Mithraites however, Sunday was a very
holy day. They worshipped the as the source Of
light, and hence OF all goodness which they ident-
fed with the light Sunday to them was "the great
day Of the sun" Shortly before Constantine became

The Case of Vehling

The coroner of this county stands convicted by
jury of attempting to his Office to extort money
from relatives Of accident victims.
There is no qualification, only sorrow, when a
man who has achieved some measure Of public ap-
proval and esteem, is sent to prison to repent his
betrayal of the people who trusted him.
But matter how much sympathy may be ex-
tended to the weak official who falls there must be
an ever determined drive to force public officials
to merit esteem and confidence
In the case of vehing, The Times played a
somewhat important part in disclosing his violation
Of his OATH
When complaint after complaint came to this
newspaper Of outrageous actions in connection with
the bodies of victims Of accident or murder, The
Times investigated. It printed the results OF its
Inquiries. The grand jury prosecuting attorney and
now trial jury have taken the necessary and proper
action
vehling was one Of those who do not learn He
had failed to take the warning of what happened
tosthe Duvalls, to the officials who ran rampant in
their defiance of decency until The Times exposed
them.
He had failed to interpret his own election as a
protest against spoils system of government. Un-
fortunately he must pay rather severe lesson for
that lack of intelligence.
Public officials who betray their trust must be
exposed and punished if the people not robbed
of their rights. That is the only way that public
Office can be lifted to a place of confidence and
esteem 1t is very necessary that those who into
Office do so with the idea of serving, not robbing
those who elect them.

CardOZO

This is a great day. Chief Judge Benjamin
Nathan Cardozo OF New York has been nominated
for the United States supreme court, and his con-
firmation is assured. He is the in the
try whose ability to carry the eminent tradition of
Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes not be questioned.
National issues Presidents and political parties
come and govbut the supreme court goes on forever
The supreme court can and does make decisions of
Presidents and laws of congress.
1t writes i'll effect a Constitution year by
year. It's DEGREES are the highest law in the land
from which there is earthly appeal. No other
judicial body in all the world has its far-reaching
power.
Therefore, the nomination of justices for the high
court is the gravest power exercised by President
of the United States BY the choice of these judges
who can serve for life President casts his shadow
upon the vital decisions Of government many years
after he is dead-cass his shadow for good evil.
For two years the Scripps- Howard newspapers have
fought for the appointment of Cardozo. But he has
not been the candidate of one group or faction
1t has been experience in consulting leaders Of
the bench and bar from coast to coast to find them
ALL regardless of party ready to admit that Cardozo
stood almost alone in legal emnence
Even the politicians who had their own judicial
candidates. mostly second and third-rate men, never
dared question Cardozo's unique qualifications
Politicians, however, did question the partisan eX-
pediency Of his appointment They said he was
Jew, and one Jew the supreme court already was
one too many. They said he was from New York,
and New York had too many representatives on the
court.
They said he was liberal, and the departure of
Holmes gave a good opportunity to stack the court
more heavily with reactionaries.
Probably no one but the President, who is sub
jected to it, appreciate fully the strength of
such partisan political pressure.
The more glory then, to the President in rising
above petty politics. 1t easy enough for news
papers and deans of law schools and independent
lawyers to support Cardozo But the President had
to override bosses Of both parties avid for the spos
of office.
To his honor, be it said, the President took the
course of true craftsmanship. The great Holmes will
have worthy successor the supreme bench.

constant attention. It is picked up,
carried about, patted on the back,
rocked, fed and changed much more
often than if it were a normal in
FAINT.
The parents become solicit
Gus and soon develop an abnormal
attachment to the child. The child
learns of the power that it possesses
through exhibition of its nervous
performances and learns to produce
these frequently.
In other instances parents resent
restless, fussy infant, the mother
becomes antagonistic to it, and the
infant soon appreciates this atti-
tude of the parent.
Under the circumstances, it is not
well for parents to permit an un-
usually fuSsy infant to go without
attention. Prompt medical advice
will result in the use of measures
that will produce a suitable relaxa-
ton.
Removal of the child from the
home to the hospital will give the
mother an opportunity for rest and
a chance to develop a proper emo
tlonal relationship to the child.

Lacked Definition

TT is only fair, of course, that we
L should be precise in the use of
words, but why not beforehand, in
stead of afterward.
What was the use of outlawing
war, until we had agreed on an ex-
act definition.
Most people took it for granted
that organized killing by the
military forces of a government
meant war, but it appears that they
were wrong.
The act must be preceded by a
definite expression of intent, or
reach a certain magnitude, before
it can be regarded as the real thing.
In other words, nation could
create quite a disturbance, without
making war in the technical sense,
provided it did not say too much
about its plans, or mobilize too ex-

proposition. One does not take the

And all too little is said in favor
of immediate enjoyments. A nice

This Is WIarI

OUCH quibbling may be scientific
- ally correct, but it confuses COM
mon folks, and common folks still
have to pay the bill.
Men in the street know what they
mean by war, whether international
lawyers do, or not.
1t required no League of Nations
commission to convince them that
state of war existed in the neigh
borhood Of Shanghai.
With thousands dead and hun
dreds of thousands homeless; with
transports unloading men by the
regiment; with airplanes dropping
bombs and the roar of heavy guns
making night and day hideous, and
with great city being reduced to
ashes, common folks will call it war.

Hydrogen Studied

DR. CAMBRIDGE is to describe
- the mass-spectrograph and the
researches planned with it at a
meeting this month of the Ameri-
can Physical Society in Cambridge,
Mass.
1t is expected that one of the first
problems to be undertaken will be
a study Of the atom of hydrogen.
The hydrogen atom is the lightest
atom known. It's nucleus consists
of a single positive electron or pro-
ton. One negative electron revolves
around it.
Recently, however, much to the
surprise of the scientific world, it
was demonstrated that there is an
isotope Of hydrogen. 1t is believed
that the isotope has a nucleus
which consists Of two protons and
one electron and that one electron
revolves around this nucleus.
Now it is particularly important
that scientists learn the exact mass
of the hydrogen isotope. And, it is
believed that the mass-spectrograph
possesses the precision which is
necessary to ascertain it.
According to present theories, the
nucleus Of the isotope, consisting.
as it does, Of two protons and one
electron, is expected to weigh slight
ly less than two protons and one
electron. This is because of the So
called packing effect"
On the basis of classical mechan-
les, there is no reason why packing
the protons and electrons into the
small space which they occupy in
the nucleus Of the atom should
cause their weight to change. But
on the basis of the newer theories,
which include relativity and guam
tun mechanics, such a loss in
weight is to be expected.
The measurements with the mass
spectrograph, therefore, will consti-
tute an important check upon mod
ern theories.

Right to Be Unhappy

INTO a fantastic and broadly
L burlesqued Soviet state, he in
PRODUCES a savage who rebels against
RECOMMENDATION. The savage is a
disciple of Mr.. Hoover's rugged
individualism." He claims the right
to be unhappy, including the right
to pain and illness and poverty.
This seems to me a mere literary
flourish. Man may quite properly
resent being chaperoned and
coddled. He may choose to run the
risk of death or injury for the sake
of a thrill Otherwise we would
have no bobsled runs.
But nobody wants to be poor OF
diseased. 1t is silly to talk about
such things asa belonging among
human liberties.
have heard people speak of the
glory of pain, but in most cases they
were talking of that emotion as en-
dured by somebody else. 1t is an ex-
perience more glamorous to the OBJ
Stetrician than the mother.
1t is undoubtedly true that certain
individuals enjoy suffering, but they
can be set down as decidedly alb
normal, and I would not for a
minute permit any such whim to
stand in the way of human
progress.
Naturally I will admit that cir
cumstances may arise where some
body is called upon to endure
suffering for some positive good
which may come out of it. I am
not dreamer enough to envisage a
world in which there are not teeth
or their equivalent to be pulled.
One may with dignity suffer for
his own good or even for the good
of others, although the latter sort
of behavior is grossly overdone. But
pain just for the sake Of pain is
almost the only sin which I can
recognize.

Magnet Is Used

MOST of the weight of the de-
Iva vice is in a gigantic electro
magnet, one of the largest magnets
in the United States. 1t has a spe-
cial steel frame weighing $500
pounds.
The winding consists of 5000
turns of heavy wire, containing 75O
pounds of copper. When the cur
rent is turned on, the magnet gets
so hot that it must be cooled by a
water system.
The operation of the mass-spectro-
graph is as follows: The atoms
which are to be weighed are dis
charged by electrical means in a
vacuum tube. They move through
the tube and strike the photo
graphic plate.
AS they pass through the tube.
they enter the magnetic field of the
the huge magnet described. This
magnet has the effect of defect
ing the atoms. But the amount of
DETECTION depends upon the weight
Of the atom. Therefore, the lighter
the atom, the more it will be de-
Elected.
When the atoms strike the photo
graphic plate, they leave a dark
spot upon it. All the experimenter
has to do then is to measure the
position of the mark, and from it
he can calculate the weight of the
atom.
The mass-spectrograph is partic-
ularly valuable in the study of iso-
topes.
1t was discovered some years ago
that many chemical elements con-
sisted of variety of atoms.
All the atoms behaved exactly
alike and so could not be dis
tinguished by ordinary chemical
means. But the atoms possessed
different weights. These similar
atoms of different weights are called
isotopes.
The mass-spectograph at once
separates isotopes easily, the lighter
ones striking the Photographic plate
at one point and the heavier ones
at another.
