Well when confronted by questions
like that. / think of men like Faraday
and Mendel. and some Of the scientists
in the employ of the Federal Govern
ment About hundred years ago. in
England Michael Faraday was what we
might call an experimental philosopher
He never concerned himself with the
invention Of machines. His sole aim
was to learn something about the work
ingS OF nature. He discovered the
principle OF electromagnetic induction
and if you remember your high school
science, you will recall that without that
discovery. we would today have no
means Of putting electrical energy to
work for us. Without Faraday, the
amazing inventions of Edison and Mar
conf would not have been possible, and
your radio and your electric lights would
not exist
And Mendel. that clOistered Morayian
monk, who whiled away the hours STUDY
ing plants. and experimenting with the
cross-breeding of varieties OF garden
peas-of what earthly use was all that?
He did it because it interested him. But
was III vi dIy use W The rest OF lis!
l can assure yod that it was. for the
principles he discovered have been en-
ployed by the plant breeders of TODAY
in developing more productive varieties
OF every plant that feeds and clothes
you. Scientists like Mendel and Fara-
day were working in what we call pure
science. They were trying to discover
natures fundamental secrets. but with
out thought Of any practical application
OF their discoveries. Had some over
Jealous administrator tried to restrict
their curiosity to some specific object
or the immediate solution of some
highly practical problem. We would have
been deprived. in all probab ability, of their
great discoveries.
Applied Science.
1t falls upon another group Of scien-
lists to apply these basic principles to
the pressing problems of the world. and
turn them to practical account. Thus
most OF the scientific research in Gov
ernment departments is applied science.
The surprising thing. however. is that
even in the field Of applied scie1ce far
reaching discoveries are made, often as
by-product of the immediate task.

Operations Of the Chevrolet
Motor Company in 1882 added
more than 5000, 100000 to the in
dustrial activity of the world.
This figure represents the re-
tail value of the more than 400,-

of additional dollars expended in
1882 for gas, oil, service, travel

Operations of Chevrolet ex-

in this largest of all industries in
1882, as they have in four of the
last six years.
On the basis Of findings Of an

Impressive arrays of mechanical
advances, stylishness of a new
order, price tags from $595 up
are among the features of the
1888 six and eight-cylinder Dodge
models now at the Automobile
Show. Both lines are wholly new
in appearance and design, and
both incorporate many mechanical
features regarded as important
automobile-engineering advances.
That the new Dodge Six will
make a high place for itself in
the popular-price market is freely
conceded by competent judges
who point out that the combina-
ton of style, comfort and COM
pleteness will give it the clientele
of two large marketS-one, the

bined with large-car performance:
the other, the morerate and

new six will appeal on grounds
of quality coupled with prac-
tically all that is new in style
and in mechanics.

American automobiles have af-
forded people living outside the
United States an estimated total
of $3.50 ,000,0 900 of miles of trans
portation during the past year. In
other words, the 5,O49, 900 motor
vehicles of American make oper-
ating over the roads of more than
100 countries of the globe other
than our own have expended just
that much of their useful life and
are that much nearer the point
where they must be replaced.
Despite the depression which
gripped the world with increasing
force and restlessness during the
past IL months, these motor ve-
hlcleS have been operating over
highways in every cline, perform
ing their appointed tasks of trans
porting people and goods.
In themselves, they form what
may be considered as theoretical
backlog of untitled orders" on
which our industry should be able
to realize once the adverse factors
now restricting national and in
ternational commerce are over
come or eliminated.
One year ago, it was estimated
that there was then replacement
market abroad for 100000 motor
vehicles of American make.
During 1882, it is estimated that
$4,000 motor vehicles of Ameri-
can make were sold outside of the
United States, of which 1875, 900
were passenger cars and $4,000
commercial vehicles. Passenger
cars sold abroad will thus have
accounted for 1913 per cent of the
total American and Canadian pro-
duction compared with 9.8 per
cent in 1881; commercial vehicles
% per cent against 28.8 per cent.

There were no baldheads or gray heads in

was always in view and the chances are that
every one was happy and care-free. But life

those boys have undoubtedly realized ere this,
as they have alternately partaken OF the bit

back to their amateur theatrical days and
craved their return once more. But the way
to the return is barred forever and they must
live only in the recollections Of the past.
For the few years it lasted, The Players was

DESIRABLE SHIFT

HIRAM JOHNSON has been offered the
l. l. Democratic nomination for United States
senator from California. Other liberal Re-
publicans who revolted against Hooverism and
jumped party lines are likely to need Demo-
cratic support. Such are Senators La Toilette
Cutting, Norris and Governor Pinchot. Many
observers believe that this may mark the first
step in the disintegration of the present Re-
publican-Democratic parties and presages a
more realistic alignment within each. The
conservatives would flock to Republican BAN
ners while liberals and moderate radicals
would rally to the Democratic standards.
: Such shift and realignment might remove
american party government from the realm
of pure horseplay and give it some realism.
Down to 1900 American parties usually were
divided in regard to fairly fundamental is
sues. The federalists battled with the Demo-
cratic Republicans as to whether the govern
ment should favor the business or the farming
elements The Democrats and the Wings
were divided over such issues as currency
banking. slavery and the tariff. While the
diferences between them dwipdled. realistic

Air Is Real Substance of Life

evaporation of perspiration is
stopped.
When the air is in motion, it tends
to evaporate water from the surface
of the body more rapidly than when
not in motion, and so produces
cooling effect.
The best temperature of air in a
room is from IS to SO degrees, with
sufficient water vapor in the air to
show relative humidity Of from 30
to so per cent. Old persons and in
valids usually require higher tenn
perature for comfort, because their
bodies produce less heat than do the
bodies of younger persons.
1t is particularly important that
the ventilation be good while you
sleep. Sleep occupies, or should oc-
cupy, approximately one-third of all
your time. Therefore, good ventila-
ton during the hours of sleep takes
the place Of bad ventilation which is
most likely during hours of work or
indoor amusements.
During sleep, you can control the
temperature Of your body by suitable
covering and thus permit room
temperature to be somewhat lower
than is permissible during the day.
Under modern working conditions,
it is difficult, because Of the differ
ent types of clothing worn by men
and women. to keep working places
suitably ventilated for all.

UNDERMINING HITLER

T~HAT enterprising Jewish peri lie al,
Opinion has been publishing some very
juicy and spirited material directed against
the Naz chieftain, Herr Hitler. In the last
issue. there appears a very statesmanlike article
by the Rev. Dr. John Haynes Holmes protest
ing against the movement to ban the publica-
ton of an American edition of Hitler's auto
biography by the Houghton- Miff1in Company
of Boston.
DR.. Holmes arguments are cogent and in
vincble. Whatever our contempt for Hitler's
ignorance barbarities and intellectual vagaries,
he is, believe it or not, one of the two or
three most influential personages in the world
today. If We hope to unseat him, we must be
very familiar with the ideals and policies
he represents. Nothing could tell us more
authoritatively what Hitler really is like than
his story of his life and the ideals which have
governed it.
If We believe that Hitler's governing con-
ceptions are atrocious and monStrous, nothing
else could be so effective in undermining him
as to convict him OF intellectual bankruptcy
out of his own mouth. Under these circum-
stances there could be no possibility of his in
Producing the abb that he had been mis-
quoted or misunderstood.
Finally, to try to ban HitlerS book in this
country would be nothing less than employing
here the same policies which we condemn so
vigorously when used by Hitler in Germany
Such imitation would be fragrant fattery of
man whose repute we desire to crush
Throughout modern times many of the
bravest figures in the battle against censorship
have been Jews. Jewish people today will do
well to hesitate before they impair this noble
tradition and heritage.
Instead Of attempting to suppress Hitler's
book, better strategy would be to circulate it
by the millions. If mankind. Jewish or Gen.
