PASADENA, Calf. November a.
Warm tribute was paid yesterday to
DR. Willem de Sitter by DR.. Walter S.
Adams, director of the Mount Wilson
Observatory Of the Carnegie Insti-
tuition of Washington. which was host
to both DR.. de Sitter and DR.. Albert
Einstein two years ago.
DIR. de Sitter's death is tremen-
dous loss to astronomy" said DR..
Adams. He made a great contribu-
tion to science in his work on the
theory of the expanding universe. He
was a pioneer in realizing what the
observations meant showing that the
spiral nebulae were receding from us
at a tremendous speed"

Your Health
by DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN-

HARDNESS of hearing has long been recognized
i as almost inevitable in old age, but you can
forestal it considerably by eating properly and keep
ing your system in good condition
Hardness of hearing in old age appears IN Two
varieties The distinction depends on whether the
changes that have taken place in the tissues AFFECT
the middle ear or the internal ear.
The ear and the organs associated with nearing
actually include three parts: The external ear, which
is everything outside the eardrum; the middle ear
which includes certain little bones associated with
transmitting vibrations from the eardrum to the
internal ear and the internal ear, which includes
the very fine organ and nerve endngs associated
with the sense of hearing
Hardness of hearing associated with old age usu-
ally comes on between 55 and 65 One ear specialist
SAYS it is characterized by lowering of the upper
tone limit of hearing.
A PPARENTLY the human being makes little use
n of his sense Of hearing for the very high tones
of sound and that perhaps explains why the sense
of hearing for these very high tones is the first to
disappear.
In many cases. says this expert, the onset Of
hardness Of hearing in the aged IS associated with
disturbance of intestinal digestion.
The person concerned feels particularly that more
careful attention to the food taken and to regular
elimination of the bowels would prevent onset Of
these difficulties Of hearing
There are also technical methods which can be
used by the specialists in diseases of the ear and
which are helpful to such patients These include
regular clearing of the entire hearing tract and use
of mechanical devices for stimulating the organs OF
hearing.
TN many instances proper attention to the diet and
l. hygiene of rather elderly persons who have lost
part of their of hearing, and proper scientific
medical attention have resulted in considerable i'm
provement. Many of the elderly persons who come
for such help satisfied if they are helped enough
so that they can hear the bidding at bridge.
1t is rather we'll known that the health and vital
ity Of the tissues depends good blood supply and
on adequate use. An organ a tissue that is not
used sufficiently tends to wear out its ability.
Hence, any method of treatment that will i'm
prove the nutrition Of the tissues and stimulate them
to activity is likely to bring about general improve
ment in their functioning.

The Gals and Mrs. Roosevelt

TINE picnic was box lunch provided by the news"
l. paper reporters and their wives of the presi-
dental detail who figured that they had been the
guests of the Boss and the Mrs. often at picncs
and whatnot that they ought to be allowed to take
a turn. Mr.. Roosevelt sat in his enjoying this
open air scoff-touch free meal, and talking with
Mr. Joe Eastman who had hen on the nest-some-
thing important about the railroads. He takes his
work around with HIM.
After the CCC camp, the Boss and picnic party
went on to the women's camp organized by Mrs.
Roosevelt for girls who find themselves plumb up
against it. This is not so much work-camp as
an off -thestreet club and vacation resort. Girls
who are up against it have a much worse time OF
it than men, as they not mooch dimes on the
city streets without being seriously misunderstood
The faces, seen individually, were joyous and
it seemed they are just devoted and grateful to
Mrs Roosevelt as the men had been to the Boss
Both going and coming, the trip was impromptu
as far as the people along the lines were concerned
SO there were no crowds and those people who did
see the President of the u S. A. in their midst had to
look fast
The parade broke up back at the new Old Nelson
House The Boss went on to his house at HYDE
Park and the journalists dashed into the telegraph
room to tear off some living human documents
about Joe Eastmans hot railroad story All ex-
pressed themselves as having had most enjoyable
time.

It's Not q Tea Party

TN all strikes trouble from the effort to keep
i operations going with strike breakers at times
when feeling runs high. I can not see why the
state should be enlisted in helping employers to
carry on these anti-social and highly lnf1ammatory
tactics The striker loses wages during labor dis
pute.
Why shouldn't the employer forego profits during
that same stretch Of time? The duty of the govern
nent through police militia should be TO see
that operations are shut down the minute that dim
cultics begin Both sides then could approach the
problem in hand with more reason and less passion
Directors of the National Association of Cotton
manufacturers met in Boston yesterday afternoon
and at the end of the meeting one of them blandly
announced. We are willing to submit any question
of working conditions to the established machinery
of the code authority"
When I see statements of this sort 1 doubt the
proteststions of the mill that they feel their
cause is lust and that they being put upon by
the agtators You see the spokesman for the cotton
manufacturers forgot to explain to the reading
public of Boston that the industrys code authority
Is made up solely of cotton manufacturers and that
IN effect il would be an appeal from Philip, ada
mant to Philip adsmant
The textile strike should furnish to America the
final and convincing proof that labor no longer Will

gan might we'll be- no work without representa-
ton" And incidentally. Boston harbor was the
scene of one of the first American efforts in mass
picketing. But have no desire to draw the parallel
too close. This is not tea party.

Today S Science
By DAVID DIETZ

TINE necessity of revoiuIionizing the methods of
il teaching elementary chemistry in the nations
schools Will be one of the subjects under discussion
when the American Chemical Society begins Its
eighty-eighth meeting in Cleveland on Sept. 10.
Leaders of the Societys division of Chemical edu-
cation believe that the curriculum Of elementary
chemistry has Jagged far behind the recent spec
tacular advance Of science and that there IS cry
ing need for new types Of textbooks.
The division. according to its chairman, Professor
Ross A Baker Of the College Of the City of New
York has accepted the challenge to reorganize the
elementary chemistry IN the nations schools.
A symposium VIII be held during the Cleveland
meeting outline the minimum essentials of the
newer chemical knowledge and to illustrate how they
can be presented TO the beginning student in
chemistry.
PROFESSOR BAKER has some critical remarks
i to make about the textbooks now in use He
says.
writer's 10 treat theoretical developments SIM
ply as sddenda instead Of migrating them with the
whole. As matter Of fact the majority of text
books Of general chemistry the market today are
but gloriied editions Of famous works which first
appeared fifty or seventy-fve years ago. It is diff
cult to find a really up-to-date text"
IN this Connection IL Is interesting to note that it
Is only recently that many schools have gotten
around to mentioning the existence OF the eectron
in their chemistry classes Despite the fact that such
subjects as valence and the periodic table not be
adequately explained without recourse TO the cleo
OF the old notion of the indivisibe atom. a nine
teenth century notion
UNDOUBTEDLY It was felt that mention of the
u electron would have made the subject more
complicated. But the fact is that the student was
left with no adequate picture of why chemical ee-
ments combined into compounds or what the nature
Of the bond between atoms in molecules was whereas
all these things could be pictured in simple fashion
with the aid OF the electron.
The same things may be said for many other
things. Isotopes, for example. not be made in
tegihle without discussion Of the construction
OF the nucleus Of the atom.
The Cleveland symposium. Professor Baker says.

older views should be retained and which should be
discarded.
For example he says. 1t is no longer possible

sary. 70 recommend complete reorganization Of.

department-the electrical work
ers, carpenters and joiners, and
bricklayers, masons and plaster
ers.
That means that these three
unions, with the other sixteen
which already belonged to the de-
partment, will abide by its de-
cisions as to who shall do what
work.
Private industry has sWeated
under these disputes for years.
Recently the government sweated
some in it's public building pro-
gram here, and was believed about
to compel submission of such dis
putes to arbitration.
That spurred the federation to
create its own court" to settle
such disputes. Strenuous efforts
are being made within the feder-
alton to create an authority that
can eliminate these disputes, set
ting them within labor ranks be-
fore they start.
The federation also has bu-
reau devoted to wiping out rack
eteering in local unions and city
centrals. This has always been a
hard job because local or inter-
national unions, once chartered,
are almost independent of the
federation in conducting their
own affairs.
A LII these complications only
L n serve to make clear the cry
ing need of organized labor for
better leadership. Organization

The company union problem re-
mains unsolved. Labor's effort
failed to get a law definitely de-
claring such unions illegal. But
in the meantime the nature of
company unions themselves is
changing.
What is company union? OBJ
viously. one that is supported
and dominated by the company.
Originally they were just that.
But as they have developed un-
der the strain Of the last year,
they are becoming something else
again.
IF a company deducts dues for
i an employees association from
a workers pay, does that give it
domination over the union? Min
ers who have the checkof do not
think so.
Railroad shop workers are now
trying to merge the company
unions of thirteen roads into a
new national labor organization,
independent of the A. F. of L.
A movement is under way to
unite similarly the company
unions of several auto plants, to
form an independent auto union,
the Associated Automobile Work
ers of America, outside either the
A. F. of L. or the Mechanics Edu-
cational Society. 1t would be
based on what were originally
company unions.
None of these moves has gone
far, but the germ is there for
transformation of the local COM
pany union into independent
national unions.
NEW forms of labor contracts
IN are appearing. The Machin-
lists Union is experimenting with
a contract with press-builders in
which the wage scale would vary
according to volume of business.
The Amalgamated Clothing
Workers has an agreement with
several firms providing return to
the workers from profits of wage
reductions made in 1888.

offered a cigar advertising fund of

has proceeded so fast that leader
ship has not been able to keep
pace, either within the A. F. of L.
or in any other labor ranks.
The Cleveland Citizen, labor
paper, reported that "it is physi-
calIy impossible for union officials
to respond to all the calls for
trained men and women to adj
dress meetings"
Many new union members have
never been instructed in the bar
est principles of union organiza-
ton. The last convention of the
A. F. of L. belatedly took up the
speeding of this work, which is the
strongest forte of Communistic
labor organization.
This lack of new trained leader
ship. plus a certain amount of dry
rot among the long entrenched
old-line leaders of the past, is
what has given an opening for the
rise of rank and file" leaders who
shoot up like meteors to challenge
or grasp leadership.
Impatience of younger leaders
with slow, conservative methods
has brought them even to Selling
power, as in the threatened steel
strike of last spring.
This surging pressure from be-
low is being felt throughout or
ganized labor, from the oldest or
CARNATIONS to the new and unsea-
Soned ones.
TINE ultimate place of organ
i lied labor in the social
scheme is at stake. Labor Secre-
tary Frances Perkins wrote in
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1934-09-08

people at Work" THE attitude
of the public toward industry and
the worker has changed. Wage
earners occupy today a more i'm
portance and strategic place in
society than ever before"
That is true. Not only for its
own sake must labor go forward,
but we at last realize that I'M
less it is prosperous, no one can
be prosperous.
With this greater importance
goes greater responsibility. In
countries where labor has been
handed over to a single organi-
zation, as in Russia, Germany, or
Italy, it has been necessary to
restrict its activities, to protect
the public.
In Russia, a strike of power
plant employees in Moscow is I'M
thinkable, because it is a strike
against the state-counter- revo-
luton. In Italy strike of steel
workers is unthinkable, because it
is a strike against the state
treason.
But even free labor, as it grows
powerful, must accept response
bility for it's share in the national
picture. AS Secretary Perkins says,
1T is important to think of this
country as one large unit. only
part of which gets its living in
factories.
But the lesson of the economic
depression is clear; there is no
problem that confronts us that is
not impregnated with the prob
lens of labor in industry and
trade"

ton. This union also proposed
a tax on new machinery to help
support the men displaced by it.
The legal implications of union
ism are growing more complex
There is widespread irritation on
the part of employers because the
laws sets up many things they
may not do, but places almost no
restrictions on unions.
The National Association of
Manufacturers is reported to be
planning a campaign to put labor
organizations under codes" of
fair practice similar to those I'M
der which employers are now
working.
THE Shoe and Leather Work
Il ers' Industrial Union has been
sued by twelve shoe companies
for 100000 in damages for inter-
ference with their business by
pickets in an alleged strike.
This is similar to the famous
Danbury Haters' case, and in
wolves the question of legal re-
Sponsibility of unions for dam
age to business.
Stiff fines were recently paid
by former officials of the National
Shoe Workers Union for violat-
ing an anti-strike injuntion at
Lynn, Mass, showing the whole
matter of labor injunctions is still
far from settled.
On the other hand, unions were
upheld in Hartford Comm SUI
perior court in a case of a former
member who had been suspended
from the union. He claimed that
since the labor organization had
secured contracts with employers,
he was unable to get a job, and
sued the union for damages.
The court ruled that the unions
actions were not unlawful and
the resulting damage, if such fol-
lowed, is an incident unfortunate
but unactionable."
CTRONG efforts have been made
~ by the A. F. of L. to eliminate
the jurisdictional disputes which
have helped prejudice employers
against it.

The pup seemed to like the car

Tom wanted to buy the dog, but
the owner refused. So when the
Devines honked out Of Reno for

Dogs were not permitted, so the

When Tom returned to the car,

finished-Little Robby will oc-

part of the story will be that of a
small-town girl from the middle
west who shaved for man and a
cause she believed in.
She shaved sixteen hours day.
And with all her aggresSiveness

And if Robby had one real fault
it was not her shrill voice or her
love of the limelight, but the fact
that she "yessed" Johnson, at
times egged him on.
But Robby has had swell time.
To use her own words:

Still, there was no place for the

bad social standing) to Hollywood,

night at the Lawrence Qnd0 M. E.
church at 7:3O.
The first performance was given
Aug. 10 and was received so IA
vorably, that after many requests
for a second performance it was
decided to comply with the re-
quests.
There are approximately 112
people participating. The pageant
was written and directed by Mrs.
Helen Mowrey with the assistance
of twelve others as episode direc-

Mrs. Mowrey will not be able to
be present at the second perform
