over congress and how quickly would
the influence of the people overcome
the influence of these special inter
eSts, whose object is to feather their
nests at the expense of the people
The trouble is to get the people up
on their hind legs and demand that
their representatives act. Every one
waits for George to do it. Let the
civic clubs act and the people will
follow.
Now is the time, for probably
never again will so able an expose
be presented to the people. If the
mass of the American people let
this opportunity go by, they deserve
to be taxed to death, and probably
will be.
This demand also should be made
of state legislatures, giving the
heads of state and city officials the
same power.
If a great saving can be made
in expense of government, a reduc-
ton in income taxes can be made,
and this would encourage business.

began to sputter, and the letter

His name was Sherwood Ander-

A SIGNIFICANT observation
n during the year was a series
of studies on the effects of noise
on the human body, and attempts
in various parts of the country
to combat unnecessary noise.
Apparently there is a constant
strain on the human organism
from continuous stimulation of
the sense of hearing.
Another interesting observation
was the fact that the important
vitamin D and vitamin A, now
widely used for prevention of rick
cts, and also in relationship to
other disorders of calcium and
phosphorus usage by the body, is
to be found not only in cod liver
oil, but also in the oil extracted
from the liver of the halibut and

Year Of Confusion

DUT while these advances in
ID technique have been tn
umphs for the experimental ply
sicist, their immediate effect upon
scientific theories has been con-
fusing.
In fact, viewed from the stand
point of the theoretical physicist,
1882 was very much a year Of
confusion.
In many cases old theories had
to give way, while conflicting new
ones battled for the right TO re-
place them. This was true not
only in the realm of the atom,
but in the related field Of cosmic
rays.
And both atomic theory and the
study of cosmic rays were affected
by contesting theories concerning
the expanding universe.
The chief difficulty in the realm
Of the atom has come from the
fact that in experiments to dis
integrate atoms. electrons have
been released from the bambarded
atoms which moved with greater
velocities than the eiectron stream
used to do the bombarding.
These swift electronS were not
to be expected On the basis OF past
experience and they so haYe up

Some do not want to work fewer
hours for fear of receiving a few
cents less pay. 1t might be so, for
awhile, but, improvement in business
from this method would warrant an

On the other hand if workmen

SCIENCE
NeutrOn Find 1Q32Peak
BY DAVID DIETz

CONFIRMATION of the exist
" ence of the neutron will, in
all probability, be looked upon by
future decades as the most I'M
portant scientific event of 1882.
The discovery of the neutron was
announced in the closing months
of 1881 by Chadwick and his as
sociates at the famous Cavendish
laboratory of the University OF
Cambridge, Eng.
The atoms of the various chem
ical elements, SO previous studies
had shown. are built up out Of
the fundamental particles of cleo
tricity, the positive and negative
electrons.
The neutron is a particle about
the same size as the eIectron, but
capable Of moving with much
greater speeds. 1t gets its name
from the fact that it is electrical
ly neutral.
One theory advanced to explain
it is that it is a close union of a
positive and a negative electron,
the two electrons serving to neu-
tralize each other.
Studies during 1882 of the neu-
iron and of atomic structure in
general we're accelerated by the
perfection Of new X-ray tubes,
new vacuum tubes of various sorts
and new apparatus for generating
electrical currents Of extremely
high voltage.
These new tubes, operating at
the new high voltages, made it
comparatively easy to smash the
nuclei of many atoms, a trick
which physicists have been try
ing to accomplish for two decades.

MEDICAL science scored nota-
4Y1 bic victories in 1882 against
the diseases that plague mankind,
but it is a war that never ends.
1t is difficult to assign to any
one year the announcement of
medical discoveries, since most Of
them represent the gradual ac-
emulation of knowledge in some
field leading at last to an estab-
liShed method.
And from the unheralded,
logged research begun in an OBJ
scure laboratory this year may
come, in five or ten or fifteen
years, a discovery that will startle
mankind. That is the way of
medical science.
More study was devoted in 1882
to the giving of cortin, an extract
of the cortex of the adrenal gland,
for use specifically in Addison's
disease, which is due to destruc-
ton of this gland by tuberculo-
sis or some other infection.
There arose also the possibility
of giving this glandular substance
for various states of weakness
without apparent cause, but which
might be due to a deficiency of
this secretion IN the body,

The NelU Era

T OOKING back over the his
Il tory of science, we find an
era beginning with the publication
of Sir Isaac NeWton's monument
tai treatise on grayitation, the
Principal" in 1887.
In this he set forth his law Of
universal gravitation and his
three laws Of motion which domi-
mated science for the following
centuries.
The climax was reached in the
closing years Of the nineteenth
century, when scientists felt that
they had built a completely salts
factory mechanistic theory Of the
universe.
But before the century ended,
their cOmplacency was upset
rudely. The new era was ushered
in by the discovery of X-rays in
1895. This was followed by one
epocnal discovery after another.
In 1895 came radio-activity in
1893. radium. Next came confir-
nation Of the existence Of the
electron.
How fast science was moving
can be cleaned from the fact that
prior to 1895 such a phrase as the
structure Of the atom" would have
been regarded as meaningless.
In 1905 came both the quantum
theory and the special theory Of
relatively. Two great revolutions
in our views Of the universe.
In 1915 Einstein finished his
general theory Of relatively and
confirmation Of this theory by the
eclipse expeditions Of 1919 set the
whole world to talking about
relatively.
In 1880, some scientists seemed
inclined to repeat the mistake of
the 1905, that is, TO assume that
We had attained a satisfactory pic
ture Of the universe.
The events Of 1882, confusing as
they may be, save US from that
error.

set older theories that Sir Ernest
Rutherford, one of the worlds
leading authorities upon the sub
ject of the atom, says that in or
der to explain them, we may have
to revise the law Of the conserva-
ton Of energy.
This law, regarded to date by
scientists as one Of the fundamen-
tai laws of the universe. some
times is called the first law of
thermo-dynamics. 1t states that
the total amount Of energy in the
universe is a constant to which
we can not add energy and from
which We can not subtract energy.
Any upset Of this law would be
a most revolutionary change in
scientific thinking, since the only
other law now regarded as equally
fundamental is the second law Of
thermO-dynamics, which states
that energy tends constantly to
flow from concentrated forms TO
less concentrated forms.

TOWN WILL USE
OWN WATER

Water from town wells instead
of that purchased from Arlington
county will be used in the future
by citizens of Falls Church, Va.
AS soon as pumps have been in
stalled and the lines sterilized in
accordance with the State law,
they will be put in service.
A 200,OOO-gallon water tank will
be filled at night and the wells
will supply three times as much
water as is needed for the town,
according to Mayor L. P. Daniel.
A committee was appointed by
the town council to negotiate
with Arlington county officials
for the purchase of water mains
now owned by Arlington county
in the East Falls Church section.
The council last night passed
a resolution asking the State
Highway Commission to take over
Broad Street through the town
in accordance with provisions of
the Porter-Rhodes act. The town

BALTIMORE, May 1.-THE
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
should forfeit any financial
aid from the Government
through the Reconstruction Fl
nance Corporation, as a result
of it's action in furloughing
married women without pay,
according to Miss Helen Eliza.
beth Brown, of the National
Woman's Party, speaking at
the State convention of the or,
ganization last night.
She characterized the dismissal
of married women as a violation
of an agreement, and further as
an ufair, unjust, anti,social EN-,
ployment policy.
The agreement referred to was
that in reducing forces seniority
rights should govern. The only
complaint against the women,
she said, was that they were
married.
Miss. Mary v. Robinson, of the
women's bureau, Department of
Labor, said an investigation of
employment Of married women
in New England had shown that
in only two of SO instances would
families be able to manage with
out the wifes income.
