-=-====- SCIENCE. ---
Honor Merited by Hale
BY DAVID DIETZ

A INVOLVEMENT that the
"A much-coveted Copley medal
of the Royal Society of London
has been awarded to DR.. George
Ellery Hale will be received with
satisfaction by all students of
astronomy. For DR.. Hale, honor
airy director of the Mt Wilson
observatory, is one of the great
est figures in the world of as
tronomy.
DR.. Hale has performed three
fold service to the world of as
tronomy. First of all, he has
been an interchangeable research
worker, making many discoveries
of primary importance.
Second. he has been a wise or
ganizer and executive, making il
possible for other astronomers to
carry on their work under ideal
conditions.
Third, he has been an inventor
and instrument designer, furnish
ing new instruments of research
which have been of service to as
tronomers Of the whole world
The Copley medal was awarded
to DR.. Hale specifically for his
work upon the magnetic field OF
the sun. DR.. Hale was the first
to establish the fact that the sun
spots are gigantic magnets.
This piece of work gave the
world of science a new under
standing Of the nature of Sunspots
and solar phenomena in general.
It made the connection between
sunspots and Terrestrial magnetic
storms and the aurora borealiS
more Understandable.

r SUPPOSE the street car COM
4 pany, now known as the Indi-
annapolis Railway company, thinks
it has done a big thing for our city
by buying all those new street cars
and motor buses. If it really wanted
to do something for our people, it
would cut the fare to five cents, six
fares for quarter. Then it really
would be doing something for the
peoples benefit and would have
twice as many riding their cars and
buses.
I, myself, drive my car because,
with the present fare, it is cheaper
to drive, but if the fare was re-
duced to five cents, would ride
the cars and buses and profit.

THE people. the country over, are
Il bowling for repeal of the
eighteenth amendment. They pre-
tend to think this will bring back
good times" to our country.
The eighteenth amendment prob
ably was passed prematurely. But,
if the people who voted for it in
the first place would have stood up
and fought for it, it would have
been a success. .
These voters put citizens in the
public Offices who were unreliable.
With unreliable officers. no law can
be enforced. I think if our coun-
try can not enforce a law that the
people know is right and just, we
might as well pull down our flag
and quit.
The people are saying that 1t
costs too much to enforce that law.
If we had reliable officers, why
would it cost much more to enforce
one more law. Of course, if a man
is caught for making, selling or
hauling liquor and is not punished
properly, why should he be afraid
to do it again?
Again we say that our govern
ment needs the money that could
be collected in revenue on liquor.
The government could make great
sums Of money by selling narcotics.
Why not do that? Why shouldn't

people be allowed to use powerful
drugs?
We would raise an awful row if
something like that was proposed.
We should raise just as big row
to keep the eighteenth amendment
from being repealed.
If we, who claim to be Christians,
do not do all within our power to
prevent the repeal of this noble
law, feel that we will be held ac-
countable for it at the Judgment.
If the eighteenth amendment is
repealed, it not only will be a back
ward step, but downward step, for
our country. Are we, as citizens of
the United States, willing to see our
country going toward destruction?
II not, do all within your power to
prevent IL. A. e. S.

Jokers Spread Cowhage Itch

DOPULAR superstition as wen

provided a considerable number
of anecdotes relative to the sprink-
ling of cowhage by practical iok-
ers, with resultant extraordinary
manifestations on the part of
those who have been subjected to
the action of this plant.
Cowhage itch is not a COM
mon condition in the United
States and its spread" is attrib-
uted to jokers with a warped
sense of humor.
It IS due to a plant that be-
longs to the bean family. a trop-

This vine develops pod from
three to six inches long and about
one inch wide, which contains six
to eight seeds.

Every Day Religion
BY DR.. JOSEPH FORT NEWTON

ITO practice the Golden Rule
asks for love and wisdom, but
also for the imagination to put
ourselves in the place of another,
to.sit where he sits and see things
from his angle.
To the promptings of love we
must add 'the moral obligation
to be intelligent" also we run a
risk of injuring our fellow-man
by helping make him greedy, self
ish, exacting and as fiabby as a
jellyfish, if not miserable para

All Flesh of his dealings with

friend in New Zealand, and, as
PAUL. was in bad health and poor,
Butler paid his way to England,
and agreed to give him a thou

years, while he studied law.
Butler fulfilled his promise not
only for three years, but for
thirty-three years, often when he

the case Of a man who sat down
in his bare skin on a seat upon
which a number of the hairs from
the tropical plant concerned had
been deposited.
He entered the Office of the
physician running, disheveled and
breathless. and complained Of
itching so intense that it was in
tolerabIe.
The physician Immediately APP
piled alkaline washes with some
antiseptic and the itching stopped
in about two hours.
Apparently the hairs or cow
hage powder had been placed
where it would cause trouble by
malicious people who we're trying
to revenge themselves on the
owner Of the building in which
the incident occurred.

an estate Of $4,000, without re-

injury to The man who sinned

rotten within him. Butler, who
did not profess to be a Chris

too much than little too little.
My conscience is absolutely clear
OF all offense toward him, save
that of having made it so deplor-
ably easy to do things which, if I
had made them harder, he would
have been less likely to do"
Of course, such case is as
exceptional as it was outrageous.
but it goes to show that we may
do good in stupid, going
way, and actually do more harm
than good.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE
IN best sign of recovery is a new
attitude of mind toward depres-
sion eand the problems it involves.
People no longer are waiting for
miracles.
The idea that we all have to
buckle down and help slowly is
gaining ground.
Business, as we call it., is not
an outside, impersonal force
which blesses or spanks us ac-
cording to some caprice of in
Scrutable fate.
Business is something that we
have created and that we must
maintain.
We think too much about bust
ness from the investment stand
point, from what we get out of
it in dollars and cents.
That is necessary on the pro-
duction side, but it falls far short
of explaining why we have bust
ness.
In the end, our enterprises and
activities bark back to what

WHY THE FARMER WALLS

One reason why the farmer is not enjoying eco
nomic good health is touched upon in statement
recently made by Horace Bowker president of the
American Agricultural Chemical Company, who
pointed out that taxes on farm property nowadays
absorb nearly IL per cent of the gross farm income
OF the nation as compared with about 4 per cent
before the war.
That item in itself is enough to explain very
stable part of the agricultural depression And
yet when you stop to think about it, that is only
the beginning.
The farmer pays out three times as much in
taxes now as he did two decades ago; but, to make
matters worse, he has to do it with farm products
that are worth only about half as much
This combinations steady decrease in COM
modify prices and"a constant increase in fixed
charges-makes it very easy to see why the farmer
is desperately in earnest in his demands for relief

wave-length of light. Since each
line in the spectrum is due to some
specific chemical element in the
sun, thus made it possible to OBJ
tain photographs which showed
the distribution of any given ele-
ment IN the suns atmosphere.
mus 1t was possible to obtain
photographs showing the distri-
button of hydrogen, or helium or
calcium, and so on.
Toa0er Telescopes
N the early days of the Mt.
4 Wilson observatory, DR.. Hale
turned his attention to design of
new apparatus for the study of
the sun.
He realized that the ordinary
telescope is not adapted to study
of the sun.
The big lens or mirror of a
giant telescope is a Iight-gath-
erer. Now. in the case of the sun.
there is too much light to start
with.
1t is impossible for the observer
to look at the sun unless his eve
is protected by dark screens
which cut cut most of the suns
light.
What was needed was a tele-
scope OF extremely long focal
length, so that very large images
OF the sun could be obtained
Accordingly, DR.. Hale designed
MS famous tower telescopes. The
nrst was Seventy-five feet high
This worked so successfully that
a second, $50 feet high, was built.
The tower telescope is a great
steel tower, with a dome on top
and little house at the base. A
long tube connects the dome with
the house.
A system of mirrors in the
dome catches the image of the
sun and sends it down the long
tube to the little house, where it
is brought to focus.
Beneath each little house is a
deep well, with Photographic
equipment at its bottom. The
well below the 150-foot tower is
seyenty-flve feet deep.
The tower telescope not only
furnishes unusually clear photos
OF the sun, but when combined
with the spectroscope or the
spectroheliograph give astrono-
mers their most powerful instru-
n1ent for the study of the sun.
It was with the tower telescopes
that DR.. Hale discovered the mag
netic nature of sunspots by prov
ing that the spectrum lines of
the sunspotS we're double, an ef-
feet which is the result Of a pow
.erful magnetic field.

Consumption Is Basis

ME have talked a great deal
w about buying power during
the last few years, but largely as
though 1t were something which
q few could confer on the MANY.
People learned to make and de-
sire things before they built fac
tories, or formed corporations.
They must continue if they want
more factories and more corpo-
rationS.
Consumption, as transformed
and increased through a steady
orive for improvement all along
the line, is the basis of modern
industry.
When it can not be encouraged
by higher wages, it must be en-
couraged with lower prices,
When consumption falls off.
there is obvious need for read
juStment.
Perspective Better
OUCH a need was apparent from
- the beginning of this depres-
sion, but we stubbornly refused to-
recognize it.
Now we are beginning to re-
trench on the one hand, and put
forth greater efforts on the other.
Everywhere, one can feel the
urge of a healthier perspective.
instead of waiting for help, we
are beginning to help ourselves.
Instead of crying for credit, we
are trying to make better use of
what we have.
The old will to do and the old
belief that it can be done are
making their temperance. That
means that the crisis has been
passed.

1t was only last year Horton &C
quired the Ell Centre drug store,
adding its service to that of the
store on the opposite corner With
the two stores he is able to offer
a more complete service in every
department.
A recent remodeling of the
Medico-Dental building, brought
about partially through the influ-
cnce of Horton, gave him a chance
to remodel the Valley drug store
to conform with the modern fea-
lures of the rest of the building.
Horton received his professional
education at the college of phar-
macy, Alabama A. and M. He is
a native of Alabama. In 1921, he
came to California, passing the
state board of pharmacy examina-
ton in that year. 1t was not long
after that Horton obtained a posi-
ton with Robert Burns, then
owner of the Valley Drug company
Horton remained with the COM
pany until it changed hands in
1923, when he left Ell Centro for
a time. Returning after a few
months, he purchased the store
from its owners and began the
successful career which has car
ried him to ownership of two
drug stores in Ell Centro, and a
bright future presaging even
greater success.

City grammar schools are going
to content themselves with showing
only one phase of their study, their
art work. This particular branch

ment and states that the work dis
played is that actually done in the

Among the examples of art work
that will be demonstrated are
crayon hangings, soap and wax

Since the county schools are ad-
vocating large forms of art work,
such as friezes, the small display
panels will not accommodate some
of the most representative work,
and as a result other articles, less
