TINE proposal to set up a bat
i terry of electric searchlights
on the Jungfrau in Switzerland to
signal to the supposed inhabitants
of Mars has been revived by
group of enthusiasts in Great Brl-
tain.
Interest in Mars is heightened
by the fact that the planet now is
making one of its periodic close
approaches to the earth.
If you watch the eastern sky,
you will see both Mars and Jupi-
ter come up over the horizon about
9 p. m. By midnight, they will
be high in the sky.
Mars which comes over the
horizon first, is a little higher in
the sky than Jupiter. Both are
easily identified since they are the
brightest starliKe objects in the
eastern sky.
Mars, brighter than first mag
nitude star, has its characteristic
ruddy color. Jupiter, about five
times DTIgnUeT IIldu Mdlo, oI4AAlSo
with a clear white light.
If you watch Mars each evening
during the next six weeks, you will
note that it is growing brighter
and brighter.
That is because the planet is
approaching closer and closer to
the earth. During the month of
February, Mars will swing 10000,
900 miles closer to the earth.
On March /, Mars will attain its
greatest brilliance for the present
year, for it then will be at its clos
est to the earth.
On March l, the earth and
Mars, to use the scientific term,
will be lin opposition"

lust FLYING HIS KITE?

Much has been put in print about Technocracy
by the newspapers, the magazines and by certain
of the associates of Mr.. Howard Scott. But little
has been written by Mr.. Scott himself. 1t has, in
fact been stated that only 1400 actually authentic
words have been Transcribed.
Reading those words as recorded by the high
priest of Technocracy himself personally,
reminded of the George AIDE fable of the Preacher
Who Flew His Kite" AS the fable goes "A certain
preacher became wise to the fact that he was not
making hit with his congregation. He had been
trying to expound in a clear and straightforward
manner. emitting foreign quotations, putting the
stubby old English words ahead of the Latin, and
rather flying low along the intellectual plane to the
aggregation that Clipped in to pay his salary
But the pew holders were not tickled They
could understand everything he said and they be-
gan to think he was common.
so he studied the situation and decided that
if he wanted to win them and make everybody be-
lieve he was nobby and boss minister, he would
have to hand out little CUFF. He fixed it up good
and plenty.
"On the following Sunday morning he got up in
the lookout, sized up his flock with a dreamy eye
and said: We can not more adequately voice the
poetry and mysticism of text than in these
familiar lines of the great Icelandc poet, Ikon
Novrojk:

Where chaos sweeps, and vast futurlty

There is the full reprisal.
when the preacher concluded with this extract
he paused and looked downward, breathing heavily
through his

eyeglasses and leaned forward so as not to miss
ANYTHING venerable harness dealer over at the
right nodded his head solemnly. He seemed to
recognize the quotation.
THE preacher wiped his brow and said he had
no doubt that every one within the sound of his
voice remembered what Quarolius had said, fol-
lowing the same line of thought. 1t was Quarous
who disputed the contention of the great Persian
theologian Ramtozak that the soul in its reaching
out after the unknowabe guided by the spiritual
Genesis of motive rather than by impulse of
mentality.
The parshioners bit their lower lips and hun
gered for more frst-class language.
THE preacher quoted copously from the great
noet Amebus He recited eighteen lines of Greek
and then said: How true this isl And not par
ishioner batted eye
1T was Amebius whose immortal lines he recited
in order to prove the extreme of the position
assumed in the controversy by the famous Italian
Polenta"
The fable concludes:
Did they give him the joyous palm that day.
1.-The venerable harness dealer said he wished to
,ndorse the able and scholarly criticism of Polenta.
The stout lady could not control her feelings when
she told him how much the sermon had helped her
THE only thing that worried the congregation
was the fear that if it wished to retain such whale
it might have to boost his salary.

This is the first of two articles by DR..
Fishbein on defective speech.
A MAN who suffered and
1 n stammered went once to
bird store to buy parrot. In his
typical suffering speech he asked
the bird fancier, Ocean h-h-h-e
t-t-t-t-alk?"
The bird fancier replied, IF he
couldn't talk better than you do,
I'd wiring his neck"
The aneodote, while cruel, rep
resents well the general attitude
toward a person with defect Of
speech. Somehow it never is taken
as seriously as it should be.
The Naional Society for the
Study Of Speech Disorders recent
~ has classified seven different
forms of speech disorder, with
view to indicating proper approach
to correction.
The first, called dysarthria, in
cludes defects that are due to
troubles in the nervous system.

The Distance Varies

DOTH the earth and Mars, of
- course, revolve about the sun.
Mars is the planet just beyond
the earth. From the sun to the
earth is approximately 100000
miles. From the sun to Mars is
approximately 141,000,0OO miles.
These are average distances.
Because of irregularities in the Or
bits of the planets, both may be
either closer to the sun or farther
from it than the average dis
tances.
Now a moments thought will
show that the distance between
the earth and Mars can vary
within very great limits. 1t is
greatest when Mars is on one side
Of the sun and the earth on the
other, so that straight line con-
Meeting the two planets passes
through the sun.
The distance between the two
planets then is the sum of their
respective distances from the sun.
The distance between the two
planets is the least when they are
both on the same side of the sun,
so that a line from Mars to the
earth, when prolonged, reaches the
sun.
When this situation occurs, the
two planets are said to be in OPP
position.
Now the distance between the
two planets is not always the same
opposition 1t depends entirely
on where the planets are in their
orbits when opposition takes place.
The orbits, it will be remembered,
are not circles, but ellipses.
AT a very favorable opposition,
the distance between the two
planets is about 100000 miles.
At the present opposition, the dis
lance will be about 63,000,OOO
miles.

see, but apparently are unable to
say the things they want to say.
The difficulty is one Of tense
ness and it is the aim Of the in
structor to produce the period of
relaxation before speed, to permit
voluntary control. People who
suffer from this type Of defect usu-
ally can not be understood, be-
cause their speech is labored, diff
ficult and even disorganized.
THE second form is called dys-
H. lalia. In this condition some
part Of the speech mechanism
does not function effectively. Per-
haps the difficulty lies in the lips,
the tongue, the teeth, the jaws or
the hard or soft palate.
There are cases Of cleft palate,
or harelip, in which surgical
operation is necessary before the
person can speak satisfactorily.

Time to Signal

MOT only is Mars more
IN beautiful sight as it ap-
proaches opposition, but it is a
more satisfactory object for
scientific study.
Therefore, astronomers will be
training their telescopes upon he
rudy planet during February and
March.
The layman might think that
March l would be an excellent
time to try to signal to the
supposed inhabitants of Mars. But
such is not the case. Remember
that at OPPOSITION, the earth is be-
tween Mars and the sun. There
fore, we see Mars in our night
sky.
But the Martians, supposing for
the moment that there really are

ended. In some cases the diff
Guilty is due to failure to get a
concentrated and constant stream
Of breath through the mouth.
Breathing exercises, such as the
blowing of soap bubbles, gargling,
and blowing Of horns will aid this
weakness of function.
Another form Of speech disorder
is called dyslogia, from the word
logos, to speak. In this form there
is difficulty in expressing ideas by
speech, caused by some mental
disturbance.
This may take the form Of in
coherent speech, absence Of ideas,
slow speech. a constant stream Of
words to which the term logorr-
hea is applied, irrelevant speech,
and constant repetition OF the
same phrSse.
Here, the difficulty being pri-
marty mental, it is necessary to
determine the nature of the men
tai disturbance and to at the pa
tients to some kind Of task, play,
or other endeavor for which they
are suited.

Something for. Memory

MANY a crumbling civilization
1V1 has been given force and
meaning only through the contri-
button of its writer's and painters
and Sculptors. One remembers
both Greece and Rome not
through their legislators, but only
because of the men who piled
word upon word or marshalled
marble blocks.
And so let us agree even before
downfall that these are the i'm
portant men in any community.
Instead of having them mould
memorials to something which
is gone, we should intrust them
with a vital part in the plan of
birth and growth.
The captains and the kings
have departed. Call in the artists

Of their most shining visions.

Uses RuInorS to
Swing Election
BY Metal Worker Correspondent

BY Metal Worker Correspondent
HOUSTON, TEX-Tn the Hughes
-eol Co. here, manufacturers of oil
field equipment, there was a vote
taken Of the workers, to test their
feelings in regards to A. F. Of L.
union versus the Company Union,
last Friday. This vote was taken
under the direction Of the NR.A.
conciiator, Mr. Moore, who just ar
rived from Gallup, New Mexico. The
vote was as follows For the COM
pany union 1,026; for the A. r. of L.
union, COZ.
It is significant to point out that
about 1900 workers in the plant were
members Of the A. F. OF L., the IN
ternational Association of Machin-
lists. Why did over half of the work
ers vote in favor OF the company
union in the plant in preference to
the union of which they were mem
bers? It is because of a mysterious
rurnor that got started while the cleo
ton process was going on, that if the
vote was in favor of the union, the
management would shut the plant
down. It is to be regretted that we
Communists did not see the possibil-
ity Of such g. rumor and warn the
workers about it.
The men that are sticking to the
union are fighters. and there is a very
good possibility Of leading the group
Of men in militant direction, even
though they are organized under the
banner Of the A. F. of L.
Editors Note: We advise these
workers to get in touch Immediately
with the Rank and File Committee of
the A. F. Of L., at 81 f. 18th ST., New
York City, in order to bind up their
work in Houston, within the 1. A.
Of M, more closely with the whole
movement throughout the country for
