A BANKERS CONVERSION

When the head of the biggest bank in the world
steps up to the mourners bench, it is sign that
the sawcust trail is hot and that others will follow.
Two months ago the thing would have been i'm
possible.
Indeed less than two months ago President Wiggin
of the Chase National bank of New York openly
was opposing the mldest banking reforms as very
il-advised" Now Winthrop w. Aldrich, brother
in-law of John D. Rockefeller and representative
of the Rockefeller interests speaking Mr. Virgins
successor, declares that the reforms which fright
ened his bank a few weeks ago are not even suff-
Gent
He proposes to
Divorce banks and security affiliates.
Subject private banks to the same regulations
as commercial banks
Ban all deposits in security corporations part
nershps
Ban all interocking directorates Of security and
commercial banking organizations.
Limit the size of commercial bank directorates
and make them responsible.
Prohibit all underwriting of securities by CONNER
cal banks except American securities of the federal
government or other public bodies
Make all commercial banks members of the fed
eral reserve system, operated solely to serve the
governmental and commercial life OF the country
That program is conversion. Some cynics are
inclined to question the for the conversion
That is not much of a mystery. The senate expose
of the insult and National City bank operations and
all that has happened during the last two weeks to
oar banking system and the pubnc's and govern
ments attitude toward it, have forced a deal
Aldrich and the Rockefelers, apparently, in
telligent enough to see what has happened, while
many other bankers still suffering under the
deusion that things are as they used to be.
But whatever the reason for the Aldrich-Ro
teller conversion and whatever the cross-currents of
competition between the Rockefeller and Morgan
interests which part of the picture it would be
ungracious and foolish to discount the value of AID
Rockefeller cooperation in the drive for better
banking.
If this powerful group at last understands that
cleaner business is better business, that practical
incentive to clean house may prove as effective as
any unprovoked conversion and mere good inten-
tons.
Obviously it is impossible, however, to leave the
reform in the hands of this or any other private
group The task is too great, the emergency too
grave.
Only the government under its emergency au-
thority has sufficient power; only the government
can be trusted to see this reform through.

IN BISMARCKS FOOTSTEPS

Unless Chancellor Hitler regards himself as a
more astute and forceful political leader than the
famous iron Chancellor, he will do we'll to read
German history and go softly in the matter of de-
claring war on the German Catholics and Com
munists.
Bismarcks battle with the Catholics was known
as the .Kulturkampf" and it lasted from 1872 to
about 1880.
There was much bad feeling between Bismarck
and tie Catholic group when the German empire
came into being in 1871. The Catholic party,
strongest in southern Germany, was warmly in
clined toward states rights and, hence, it opposed
the cenralzing tendency of the new imperial policy.
Further. the Catholics were disappointed because

SCIENCE
Start to Star Gaze
BY DAVID DIETz

CPRING arrives officially at 8:43
- a. m. on March 20. At that
second the sun will reach the
point in its path through the
heavens known as the vernal
equinox.
Now actually the earth is re-
volving around the sun. But be-
cause of this the sun seems to cir
Gle the heavens in a path among
the stars. This path is known as
the ecliptic.
Because the earth is tilted upon
its axis, the eciptic is inclined at
an angle to the celestial equator.
CThe celestial equator is the pro-
lection of the earth's equator into
the bowl of the heavens0
And so, when the sun reaches a
certain imaginary point in its
imaginary journey through the
heavens, we say that the first day
OF spring is here.
The arrival Of spring and the
promise of warm weather marks
an excellent time to get acquaint-
ed with the stars and the con-
stellations they form.
But first of all you must become
acquainted with the motions of
the stars. This will be easy if you
keep in mind one fact, namely,
that the stars are both a clock
and a calendar.
The stars are clock because
the earth is rotating upon its axis.
They are calendar because the
earth is revolving around the sun
in a gigantic orbit.

MY late friend, Samuel Croth-
1v1 ers, whose witty wisdom was
so radiant, compared our high
ideals to a polished brass poker
which stands beside the fireplace.
The poker shines beautifully in its
stand, but one would commit a
great social blunder who actually
used it to poke the fire with.
When we need to do anything to
the fire. we reach around the cor
ner and pick up a dirty, crooked,
iron poker and stir the fire.
just so, said my friend, we keep
our high ideals highly polished,
but when we need to get some
work done in a hurry, we employ
old tools, covered with the SCOT
of a dirty world. Our public prin-
ciple is Love Your Enemy" but
the tool we actually use is more
direct: Give it to him in the
neck"
We put in our show window,
''Love never faileth,'' but our
working code is, Better try force"
as if we are unaware of the alb
surdity.

All types of vocational educa-

must be carried out in association
with good medical and surgical
care. After everything possible
has been done by such methods,

Start With Biz Dipper

T EFT us begin with a constella-
Ation that every one knows, the
seven bright stars that form the
Big Dipper. With the help Of the
Big Dipper the motions Of the
stars are easily learned.
The two stars which form the
outer side of the bowl Of the dip
per are known as the pointers"
This is because a straight line
drawn through them points to
Polaris, the north star.
Now if on the next clear night
you watch Polaris and the Big
Dipper at the same time keeping
in mind their relations to some
reference objects on the skyline
such as buildings or trees, you
soon will make an interesting dis
covery.
You will find that the Big
Dipper slowly is making a great
circle in the sky, a circle at the
center of which is Polaris, the
north star.
If you continue your observa-
tons at intervals over a large
number Of hours, you will find
that the dipper has moved a very
considerable distance. If you note
the other consultations, you will
see that they appear also to be
moving in great circles around the
north star.
1t is just as though the whole
dome Of the heavens were turning
on an axis that passed through
the north star.
OF course, the dome of the skv
isn't turning, any more than the
sun is moving across the sky in
the daytime. What really is han
pening is that the earth is rotat-
ing on its axis from west to east
Just as this motion of the earth
makes the sun appear to move
from east to west, so it makes the
stars appear TO go around the
north star in counter clockwise
direction.
The north star seems to stand
still, because if the earth's axis
were projected into the bowl of
the heavens, it would reach this
star.

the Paris observatory in France,
in national observatOries in every
civilized nation, trained astron-
omers make nightly observations
OF the stars with exceedingly deli
cate telescopes.
These observations are used to
set master clocks from which the
time signals are sent out by wire
and radio.
But for the ordinary person, the
stars are only an approximate
clock and a rather complicated
one at that. Only the trained
astronomer, equipped with precise
instruments, can tell exact time
from the stars.
If you observe with great exact
ness the position Of the Big Dip
per at some minute tonight. and
then watch for it to reach the
same position tomorrow night,
you will find that it does so four

Calendar As Well

THIS is because the stars are
L a calendar as well as a clock.
If you observe the Big Dipper in
the early evening in the spring.
you will find that it is above the
north star.
In the early evening in summer,
1t Is to the left Of the north star.
In autumn below it, and in win
ter to the right of it.
This is the result of the earth's
motion around the sun. It causes
our celestial clock to gain four
minutes every night and thus al
tiers the appearance of the sky
at any given instant for two sue
cessive nights.

are known as the "circumpolar

These consultations can be fol-
lowed in the night sky the year
around. They are so close to the

below the horizon.
But for more distant constella-
tons, the situation Is different.
These we find rising above the
eastern horizon, moving across the
sky and setting below the western
horizon.
