VISUAL EDUCATION FOR
CHILDREN IS STRESSED
Museums Accent Close to Nature
Instruction, Says Naturalist.

Instruction, Says Naturalist.
By Science Service
CHICAGO, June IA. - Museums
are trying to give the city child
advantages of education that the
cave mans child had, thousands Of
years ago, the American Association
Of Museums recently was told.
Progressive educators talk about
visual work with adolescents as il
1t were something new in education.
said Mrs. Grace Fisher Ramsey of
the American Museum of Natural
History. But our Stone Age an
cestors used the visual method when
they taught their boys and girls
how to fashion f1ints and prepare
skins. The Stone Age child never
had the experience of learning
through the arts of writing and
printing.
To-day in our cities, civilization
has shut out the direct vision and
inspiration Of nature so close to the
Eolithic boy and the cave boy. but
the mind Of the boy has not
changed" said Mrs. Ramsey.
He still needs to come into direct
vision Of the wonders of beauty and
nature and to feel the thrill they
bring. To restore this vision and
inspiration of nature is one Of the
great functions Of the museums of
cur country"

AIRPLANE USED
FOR GATHERING
WEATHER DATA
Observations at Higher
Levels Aid for Fore

BY DAVID DIETZ
Scripps-Howard Science Edf.er

THE dial of a barometer looks
Il simple. There in very plain
letters, it says. Very dry-clear-
e-rain-storm. The unini-
tiated might think that all one need
do is to note the position of the
pointer with reference to the le-
gend.
But the expert weatherman knows
that the situation is far more COM
plicated. The important thing is
not so much where the needle IS as
what it is doing. Is the barometer
rising or falling, and how fastP
The barometer reading must be
interpreted in conjunction with such
other factors as temperature, hui
Nudity, wind direction, cloudiness
and so on.
The weather forecaster is not only
interested in all these facts about
his own station, but wants to know
them from other parts Of the coun-
try.
Readings Are Compared
1t is for this reason that the
meteorological stations of the u. S.
Weather Bureau are connected by a
network of telegraph wires.
But the barometer reading at any
locality is influenced by the height
of the location above Sea-level since
this factor in itself changes the sir
pressure.
Consequently, to make it possible
for barometer reading from all parts
Of the country to be compared, it is
necessary to reduce them all to sea-
level readings
Kite Is Developed
The experts of the United States
weather bureau have given con-
siderable time to studying the prob
lem Of atmospheric pressure.
Many experiments have been car
ried on to study pressure. tempera-
ture and other factors, not only on
the earth's surface but at higher
levels.
AS Dr.. w j. Humphreys, ply
sicist of the bureau points out, this
is necessary both for the under
standing of weather causes and for
the furnishing Of the additional in
formation which airplane traffic re-
quireS.
The effort to obtain this desired
knowledge of the free air led at first
to elaborate investigations and de-
velopmentS of the meteorological
kite and its equipment" he says.
Airplane Is Adopted
Later on, the airplane. which
wanted the air free from kite wires
anyway, took over the equipment
designed for the kite and now is
regularly furnished all the informa-
ton the knite could give and more
besides, and doing it more regularly,

Kite could stem and also in wind too
light to get kite off Of the ground.
The weather forecaster makes use
of the data obtained. by means Of
kites, airplaness and pilot balloons
little toy-like balloons that, when
properly inflated and followed by a
theodolite, give the direction and
velocity of the wind at various
heights.
But in addition, these same data
also are employed in detailed studies

cation, distribution Of atmospheric
pressure and state of the weather.

SENATOR ASKS
ATTORNEY FEES
Davis Request in Election
Contest, to Be Denied
by Committee.

By Scripps-Horard Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Feb. 8. - The
senate campaign investigating COM
mittee which investigated the Penn
sylvania primary Of 1880 will re-
fuse a request by Senator James ]
Davis that it recommend that the
senate pay the fees of lawyers en-
played by him during the inquiry
Senator Gerald P. Nye rep, N. d.,
announced today.
Senator Davis came to him a few
weeks ago, Senator Nye said, to urge
that the senate assume the cost of
the attorneys fees estimated at ap-
proximately $4,000 Senator Davis
also discussed the matter with Sen
atOr Porter H. Dale rep, VT.
Expenditures in the Pennsylvania
primary of 1880 investigated at the
request of Senator George w. Nor
ris of Nebraska disclosed total re-
ported campaign costs of $633, 148. 80
IheSe COSTS were divided between
the entire state ticket.
Senator Davis personal expendi-
lures we're estimated at $14,336.45.
1T is not likely that the COM
mittee will act favorably upon
Senator Davis request" Nye said.
The precedent which thus would
be created would permit any in
dividual called before any senate
investigating committee to engage
counsel with the expectation that
the senate later would reimburse
him.
1T was not necessary for Davis
to have employed counsel" Nye
continued. The hearing was not
a contest in any sense and his
rights would have been-and were
fully protected"

Guy PaIeS When Girl Taps
His Shoulder and Says
That's the Man.
BY VINCENT MAHONEY
United Press staff Correspondent

LONG BEACH, Cal, Feb. g.
Members of the adventure yacht
Carma's crew directly have accused
William James (Curley) Guy as the
man at the portfolio" who board
ed the vessel the night Captain
Walter Wanderwell, Polish sea
rover, was shot to death.
Guy, the young Welsh adventurer
on trial as Wanderwell's alleged
murderer, paled visibly when young
Marion Smith, Rockmart (Ga.) girl,
tapped him on the shoulder and
said, That's the man."
A moment before, Edmund Re
ranski, another of the Carma's
commonwealth crew, testified Guy
"resembled" the man who entered
Wanderwells cabin for the inter
view that ended when a bullet was
fired through the captains back.
Main Testimony Intact
Guys defense, prepared for this
crucial link in the states chain of
circumstancial evidence, succeeded
in confusing the witnesses as to
details, but their main testimony
remained intact.
Miss Smith testified Tuesday
that she entered the Carma's main
cabin the night of last Dec with
zeranski, Mary Park and Cuthbert
Wills.
And then Mr.. Guy came to the
portfolio" she blurted, even before
prosecutors could lead her up to
this point of her narrative.
Defense counsel wrung completing
statements from her as to the Wis
tiers clothes.
She said that she could not make
out whether he wore hat or cap
whereupon her preliminary hearing
statements were read, stating the
man had on tan cap.
Draw Version of Quarrel
zeranski admitted all the states
identification witnesses were shown
photographs of Guy before they
were taken to the city jail, where
the Welshman was paraded before
them in a group of prisoners. The
defense inferred frfom this the wit
neSSeS we're biased.
From E. B. MortenSen, Los An
geleS juvenile officer, prosecutors
drew another version of a quarrel
between Guy and Wanderwell in
Panama, which the state contended
was a motive for the Staying.
Mortensen said Guy came to him
last July to lodge complaint
against Wanderwell then planning a
South Seas junket aboard the
Carma.
He quoted Guy as saying Wander
we'll called the crew of a former
cruise together at Panama and an
nounced the voyage was off" Guy
said the captain refused to return
their passage money and he had
Wanderwell arrested.
Wanderwell and his wife, Aloha,
disappeared before the hearing
leaving the crew stranded.
Mrs. Wan6erwell, the blond young
widow, earlier testified her husband
discharged Guy from the ship for
mutinOus conduct.

GUILTY. DECREE
TO TURN JAPAN
GUNS ON JEHOL
GeneVa'S Formal Decision
on ManChuria to Bring
Defiant Drive.

By Scripps-Hordrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-Japan's
answer to the League of Nations
likely verdict of guilty in Man
churia, dispatches from responsible
Chinese sources in the Orient mdl-
cate, will be to withdraw from &C.
neva, and aim another blow at
China.
The Chinese, who have 100000
troops in position in Jehol, it is
stated, are expecting the japanese
to begin a major drive against them
as soon as the League formally
hands down its decision, and the
weather makes an advance prac-
ticable.
The munitions plant at Mukden,
now in the hands of the japanese,
is described as working night and
day, while news dispatches which
have passed the japanese censorship
that in Japan stocks of war material
far exceed those on hand at the
outbreak of the Russo-Japanese
war.
Observers here fear that the mill
tary clique now in power at Toxic
has gone too far to back down.
They either must go forward, or
seem to be to present the japanese
suffered humiliating defeat at the
hands of a more or less united
world
Means Political Suicide
The latter means political suicide
for them at home. Their overthrow
would follow almost Immediately.
The alternative to such an admis-
sion and its consequences would
seem to be present the japanese
public with new military victories
and new territory in China.
Thus the gravest crisis since the
Japanese began to overrun Man
churia in September, 1881, is re-
garded as imminent, not only ir
the far east, but at Geneva.
If the japanese quit Geneva anc
defy the world by undertaking
further military operations against
the Chinese, China is prepared tc
invoke Article 16 of the covenant.
Article Is makes an act of wal
against one member an act of wal
against all the other members, anC
calls for severance of all trade OF
financial relations and the prohibit
ton of all intercourse with the
COMMUNICATING state. Ever
armed force may ''be used to pro-
tect the covenants of the league"
"WOrld War" Is Menace
Only last week, at Toxic, govern
ment spokesman warned that Japan
would not only withdraw from the
league, if the proposed verdict is
formally handed down at Geneva
but that any effort to apply sane
lions would mean another world
war"
AS no sanctions of any kind could
be made effective without the CO.
operation Of the United States and
Russia, the league will be obliged to
get clean-cut statement of policy
from both countries before proceed
