OBSCENE CENSORS

So long as congress insists on giving customs Of
icials the power of censorship, petty bureaucrats
will make fools of themselves and of the country by
declaring great works of art obscene
Obscenity is state of mind. 1t can be found in
the works of Mchelangelo or any other place pro-
v1ded 1t already is in the mind of the snooper.
Of course, when the censor belatedly discovers
that he has picked on ancient works of art sancti-
fed by centuries OF acceptance at the Vatican he at
once retreats That explains the sudden reversal of
policy of the assistant collector of customs at New
York after barring photographs Of the famous Sis
tine chapel frescoes
Whether the original obscenty in the mind of
the censor is worse than the fawning attitude to-
ward established institutions is question But both
attitudes typical.
The danger in customs censorship is not
that the classics of art and literature will be shut
out. Public ridicule and pressure from influential
interests always get the ban on classics lifted.
But current art and literature are not so lucky
The censor who thinks that Mchelangelo is smut
and Voltaire a bomb thrower can be depended upon
to keep out of the country the contemporary prod
ucts of advanced foreign artists and thinkers
1t does not help to curse the censor What is a
censor for?
Until we abolish censorship laws We shall have
bad censorship

BY DAVID DIETz

a S a nation we have embarked
4 a on new period of pioneer
ing. So says DR.. Ray Lyman Will
bur, secretary Of the interior in
President Hoover's cabinet. 1t
is in the fields of science and edu-
cation that the pioneer work must
be done today, he believes.
Our nations frontier was dis
solved in the Pacific and re-
appeared in the laboratory and on
the school playground" he says.
The United States Department
of Interior has been working to do
its part in this new pioneering,
which he says, means the wisest
use of what we have, instead of
the conquest of new lands, new
timber, and new minerals"
Our people are in the process
of adapting themselves to a con-
tinent," he adds.
Commenting upon the impor-
lance of scientific work by the
government at this time, DR.. Will
bur points out that science guides
much of the work Of his depart
ment.
ITO an increasing degree, science
definitely has become associated
with developnnt and functions Of
government" he says. This is the
age of democracy and science"

Gold and SiIver Buos

A YOUNG minister writes: is
N God our Father? The vast
universe makes it easy to say
God but SO hard to say Our
Father. The moment I come
out of my snug little self and look
upon the world about me, the
word Father freezes on my lips"
Such is the conflict between the
warm faiths of the heart and the
cold facts of life; but it is wisest
to believe the best and obey it.
When William Black, the novel
ist, was about to sail from New
York to England, a man rushed
on board with a basket of flowers
in his hand. He explained to
Black how on his last voyage his
little girl had died and had to be
buried at sea.
He asked the novelist if he would
be so kind as to take the flowers
and scatter them upon the waves
when he passed over a certain
latitude.
Of course Black promised to do
so, and very early one morning,
when it still was dark, he stood on
deck under the stars and dropped
the faded flowers upon the vast
and wandering grave Of a little
girl.
That was fatherhood, tender and
tenacious, reaching out after a lit
tie one through the darkness and
the distance.

Need for Research

~THIS is the day Of the ex-
Il pert" DR.. Wilbur continues.
1.-THE man who knows must be
recognized and used.
in the fields of science, the ex-
perts can be trained and devel-
oped, but such experts require
opportunity for long years of study
and they need constant exposure
to those who are devoting their
lives to research.
In fact, our progress in our
modern civilization is going to de-
pend upon the experimental
method rather than upon catch
words, or the persistent broadcast
ing of untried ideas.
$50 close today is the link be-
tween science and its laboratories
and the government that we can
measure the progress of a civiliza-
ton by it's economic capacity to
support laboratories and by the
quality of the intellectS brought
in to them
DR.. Wilbur points out that prior
to the depression there had been a
fortunate tendency to increase the
amount of fundamental research
in government laboratories.
This is research devoted not to-
ward the solution of some specific
engineering problem, but toward
the discovery Of underlying scien-
tifc truths.
He points out that in the long
run it is this type of research,
which by discovering new facts,
leads in the end to the greatest
application. He urges that re-
searches Of this sort be continued.
1T is important for the modern
democracy to set up its relation
ships to science from the stand
point Of the budget in such way
that funds will not be tagged for
specific purposes" he says.
Funds should be made availa-
bic for securing the best brains
possible, and for the facilities that
they require to pursue the I'M

the frame of mind of certain
statesmen who speak as if the
gold standard were something like
the Ark of the Covenant.
President Hoover during the last
campaign said with bated breath
in the course of a speech that
at one time we were within two
weeks of going off the gold stand
ard. And he said it as one might
explain that we had missed COLI
sion with a comet by a space Of
sixteen inches.
There were some stalwarts in
this country who seemed surprised
that EngliShmen did not immedi-
ately begin to paint themselves
blue and return to Druid rites the
instant that Great Britain went
off the gold standard, but, as a
matter of fact, there is no we'll
authenticated report that any
such thing has happened.
The trouble with American psy-
chology in the matter is that it
has been influenced vastly by the
campaign of 1896, which occurred
when so many of us were in our
formative and impressionabIe
years.

THE increasing emphasis on the
u value of an outdoor life is
pointed out by authorities in con-
GLIDING their consideration Of the
effects Of atmospheric conditions
on health.
There seems to be no question
that under favorable weather con-
ditions living out of doors is more
healthful than living indoors.
Children who live under tents, as
in summer camps under good con-
ditions, usually gain in weight and
improve in health and growth.

King Salmon Second, Statesman Third-Hy- perion Paid 6 to 1 for Best Effort
By TOM oREEDoN

By TOM CREEDON (United Press Stan Correspondent) Epson Downs, England, May S1. |-(UP)-Lord Derby's Hyperion won the 150th running of the his- toric Derby today before a roaring crowd of some 100000 persons, headed by the king and queen.
 Sir Hugo Cunliffe- Owens King Salmon was second
 The American-owned Statesman, owned by Victor Emanuel, was third. Lord Durham's Scarlet Tiger was fourth.
 The stirring test of approximate ly a mile and half over the ups and downs and turns of the difficult course was run over a hard track and under ideal weather condi- tions.
 The weather was warm but inter mittent clouds occasionally ob- scured the sun.
 Good Start
 The field of 24 thoroughbreds was unusually well-behaved at the post and were sent away in good order.
 The Prince of Wales and Prince George arrived a few minutes be- fore the start.
 Lord Derby's victory was the third for the House of Stanley, which founded the race The 18th Earl of Derby won it in 17S7, eight years after the inaugural. The present Lord Derby won it with Sansovino in 1924.

 Indianapolis, May 31.-(UP)- Mir Bill Pickens, who swears he'd have won the boys bicycle cham pionship of the world at the Chi cago fair in 1893, if 62 other guys hadn't competed. raised his glass, surveyed the room cooly, and con- tinued.
 "Yessie. gentlemen. I'm telling you there's no such animal as a fa- nous amateur athlete Anymore than there is such a thing as a sabre-toothed chicken. For when an amateur athlete gets famous he gets professional. He just can't help 1t. Down in his heart he may crave to remain as pure as the bourbon in this glass, but that doesn't do him any good.
 '"The minute an amateur gets hot enough to start drawing big crowds to watch him perform-the minute he starts pulling the cus- toners through the gates in re- spectable numbers, he's done for as an amateur. He finds himself sur- rounded by folks who give him ten times the attention and, shall we say. accommodations, than he re- ceived before. His travelling allot- ment becomes enough to move a Siamese delegation about in style. His eating money becomes sufii- cient to keep a herd of Joe Savoldis plump and happy And that's just two of the ways he finds money landing in his pocket. No sir. gentlemen, an athlete can't play to a professional gate and re- main an amateur"
 Nobody questioned MT Pickens. for he has spent the better part of his full life managing sports cele- brities. If all the famed amateurs he has persuaded to desert the pure for the gold standard were laid end to end, they'd make a pretty tidy little daisy chain. Barney Oldfeld. Ralph DePaima. Suzanne Lengien, El Quafi, Paayc Nurmi, Glen Curtis, Lincoln Beachey and Red rGange are just few of the boys and girls who have performed under MT Pickens' sheltering wing.
 Of all the stars Brother Pickens has handled, Beachey, the Lind bergh of 1911 and thereaborts probably was his favorite.
