TodaY's Science
BY DAVID DIETZ

WITH the announcement that it is dedicated
w to the women of America" the Westinghouse
Electric and Manufacturing Company has just
opened for public inspection Its home OF tomorrow
at Mansfield. o.
It looks like brick house built along rather mod
ernistic lines But actually. it more than that 1t
is a laboratory IN which household appliances
be tested under home conditions. twenty en-
gineeT ( divisions of the Westinghouse company
have 3-operated to make 1t a laboratory of house
hol6 research.
OF researches and develop appliances, many OF which
may not find their way to the market until five or
ten years have elapsed. That is why they have
named it the Home of Tomorrow.
Among the present features of the house is a
microphone which enables callers at the front door
to carry on conversation with persons inside the
house. a complete weather conditioning unit and
nineteen buitin electric motors to tighten the duties
of the housewife in various ways.
a new deal for housewives, whereby they too, can
be assured forty-hour week is the ideal OF the
Westinghouse engineers so they say.
A WEATHER ROOM is located in the basement
N of the house. 1t is here that the air for the
house is cleaned, humidfed or dehumidIfed accord
ing to its needs warmed or cooled, depending upon
the season. and then distributed to the rest Of the
house through system of ducts. system of
switches makes it possible to control the weather
from any part of the house.
The engineers gave considerable thought to the
illumination OF the house. For this purpose 800
light bulbs have been used The average home today,
they say. uses tWenty-eight.
Most of the lighting fixtures are either set flush
in the ceilings wall or recessed in the ceilings.
Closets cupboardS and the refrigerator equipped
with lights which go on automatically when the
doors opened.
In the dining room. a large recessed fixture has
been placed in the ceiling behind frosted glass
panel bank of colored lights enables the hostess
10 choose any intensity of illumination any color
effect which she desires for her dinner party.
A FEATURE of the house are mirrors In the
~ kokt, frort hall
These have lighting fixtures built into their tops and
sides which throw the light upon the face OF the
person using the mirror. They achieve an unusual
effect Of brilliance and eliminate the shadows.
The breakfast nook mas considerable electric
equipment including a built-n electric percolator
with connection TO the water system and drain.

IS. 900 Letters o. Week
Are Sent Kate Smith
BY WALTER d. HICKMAN

A STARS popularity often is
N gagged by the amount of
fan mail he or she receives, and
executives of movie and radio
studios study carefully the amount
of fan mail received by each star.
Kate Smith receives an average
of $4,000 letters a week, according
to Miss Hilda Cole, press repre-
sentative, who is paving the way
for Miss Smiths appearances on
the Indiana stage, starting next
Friday.
"Out of these letters" Miss Cole
states, "the radio, stage and screen
star has uncovered some humor-
GUS and pathetic stories which
would have given o. Henry food
for thought.
BY a curious twist Of fate,
mother and daughter were reunit-
ed when Kate sang Where Is My
Wandering Boy Tonight at the
request of a parent in search of a
prodigal son.
THE mother wrote Kate that
her son had left home suddenly
and had not notified her of his
whereabouts. And because he was
an ardent Kate Smith fan, the
mother hoped that the singer
would broadcast the song and
mention his initials.

Professor Pitirim AleXandrOvich
SOrOkin, chairman of the division
of sociology at Harvard university,
sees nothing ahead Of mankid but
wars and more wars. He tabulated
an index of the amount of wars in
history and found that with each
century there was more and more
war in the world.
Hopes that wars will disappear
in the near future are based on
nothing more than wishes and a
belief in miracles" he says.
Oswald Spengler, author of 1.-THE
Decline of the West" says much
the same thing. Human history
is war history" he says.
Like Sorokin Spengler sees other
wars ahead. 1.-THE World war was
but the first flash and crash from
the fateful thundercloud which is
passing over this century" he says.
Spengler, it would appear, glo-
ries in the thoughts of more war.
Man is a beast of prey" he says.
81 shall say it again and again."
Is Spengler right? Is man a
beast of prey? Is Sorokin right?
Is there nothing but wars ahead?
And if so, is the destruction of
civilization ahead of us? These are
the questions that cry out for an
SWer.

He Was All NeW York

7 AM afraid the truth about famous person who
l. had just gone by might have the sound of inear-
ing, but if people do not want to know what sort
of man the great man they shouldn't ask And
when q Rickard or McGraw has died they do ask.
McGraW a country BOY who became the most
New Yorkese New Yorker town.
The New Yorkishness of George M. Cohan is
genuine but Conan made an act Of it, and anyway
he represented Broadway and Broadway only to the
national public whereas McGraw stood for all New
York
His ball club was not the Broadway Giants but
the New York Giants, and the arrogant character
which McGraw deliberately created for his team
when the Giants were the road probably was
responsible for the hostility of people elsewhere to-
ward New York which persists to this day.
Sometimes still a New York citizen, coming into
hotel in small city, is able to detect in the glance
of the hotel clerk he the line John Smith,
New York, look which says, New York eh? Well
what of it?"
McGraw's career was The struggle through life of
a poor mortal who big in his strength and big
in his faults and did the best he could with what he
had.

Your Health
by DR.. MORRIS FIsHBEIN

NTHAT happens when the baby goes to sleep?
w First of all, the family feels rested!
But seriously, this question has been engaging
the interest of investigators intensvey for the last
few years. Does the baby sleep quietly or does it
move and roll?
study was made recently with twenty-eight
children in sleep laboratory located miles away
from railroad public thoroughfare. All the chill
dren slept on identical bed-springs, mattresses, pill
lows, and bed clothing. The temperature and the
barometric pressure in the were recorded con-
tinualy.
1t found that, if a person is in the habit of
going to sleep at 10 and getting up at he moves
great deal more in his sleep between 10 and II at
night and between and in the morning than at
any other time during the night
Aside from this fact, there is nothing else that is
routine. Everybody has his sleep pattern, and
there is not even any similarity between males and
females.
TN general however, boys move around little more
= than do girls. In fact, girls sleep more soundly
than boys do and also get to sleep more quickly.
For a long time it thought that the taking of
warm drink before going to bed, even of certain
kinds Of warm drinks, would make children sleep
more soundly
To prove this point, the children were given cold
water, warm water, warm milk and other beverages,
before their bedtime These tests showed that
warm milk taken just before going to sleep has
definite effect in lessening the amount of movement
during sleep in normal children.
Children who drank cold water apparently moved
about more than those who took orangeade or any
other drinks.
A MOTHER study was to determine the effects OF
heavy meal before going to bed. 1t was found
that there was definite increase in restlesSness,
especially noticeable in the first hour after going TO
sleep, if heavy meal was taken at night
Notwithstanding the fact that warm bath, be-
fore going to bed is supposed to be relaxing, this
did hot prove TO be general.

HEATH on the battlefield, dur
~ ing a war, is accompanied by
death from disease behind the
lines. DR.. Hersch speaks of the
battle front and the sanitary
front" The sanitary front broke
down in the last war
ut gave way first, in the winter
of 1914-15, as was natural, in the
more backward countries in Serbia,
in Russia, in Poland, and partly
also in Austria Hungary, where
typhus entered upon its old right
or war.
Later the sanitary front broke
also in the other belligerent coun-
tries; it broke in the form of an
epidemic which, like the war itself,
invaded an area and made num-
Der of victims like no epidemic
which had preceded it in history,
Sparing neither belligerentS nor
neutrals, military men nor civil
ians, men nor women, adults nor
children; this was influenza"
We shall never know the exact
numbers of victims of the influ-
enza epidemic. But Professor
Hersch tells us we may estimate it
at approximately 100000 deaths
in Asia, 100000 in Europe, and
100000 in America, and at least
100000 more in the rest of the
world. That is a total of 100000
deaths.
But influenza does not tell the
whole story. There were other
epidemicS. Russia, for example,
was ravaged by typhus, typhoid
fever, recurrent fever, cholera,
smallpox, dysentery, malaria and
scarlatina. Typhoid fever and ty-

plus swept over Serbia, Poland
and into AuStro-Hungary. There
also was an increase, Professor
Hersch points out, in the deaths
from ordinary diseases in Europe
during 1918 and 1919. In other
words, the populations resistance
to disease had been lowered.
THUS, for example, the death
l. rate from tuberculosis began
to rise in both belligerent and
neutral countries after 1917.
1.-THE increase of mortality from
tuberculosis was the direct out
come of undertaking and over
strain, especially the overstrain
of women, who were obliged to
take the place of men both in the
fields and in the factories, eSpe-
cially in the munition factories"
Professor Hersch says.
Professor Hersch gives us a
"balance sheet" of deaths caused
directly in military service and
indirectly among civilians during
the World war. The general total
of military deaths is 1905 900.
Of civilian deaths, it is a larger
figure, namely, 2O,379,0OO. The
combined total makes 41,435, 900

McGrdW, the Pursued

UNFORTUNATELY, in appealing to the public
~ for customers he had made himself personally
liable by careless wording of the advertisements.
He had to make good to the extent of his resources
and he spent a very uneasy springtme in Florida
year after the crash of the real estate market,
hopping from town to town ahead Of his Giants and
running his team by remote control the conStables
pursued him with legal papers behalf of the out
ragged investors
1t also is misleading to be told that his word was
strictly reliable in all because the most serious
a moment of temper over some ball-yard incident,
which occurred in Pittsburgh he denounced the ma
tonal commission of baseball and later denied that
he had done So
1t a serious thing to denounce the national
baseball commission in those days and McGraw
might have been punished severity. But when he was
challenged to affirm deny that he had said these
dlSreSpectfu things, he said it wasn't
The baseball reporters were very cross about this
reputation, but that was merely matter of anger
and they got over it. But they didn't get over
the shock and they never had the same respect for
him again McGraw knew this and it changed his
attitude toward the baseball writer's for long time
He drew away from them the road and the old
personal ballyhoo which had been important in
the fame of the Giants waned off.
After that incident McGraw deceived the jour-
naliSts several other occasions and the relations
between the management and the Fourth Estate
never were completely cordial again until the last
few years of his service with the club BY that time
he less temperish and a new crew of baseball
writer's, young Ones who took him strictly as they
found him, discovered a McCIraw who gave oc-
casional parties full of reminiscent talk which was
good for writing, and answered questions dumb or
otherwise, with patient pOiteneSS.

The usual target of left wingers,
the United States Chamber of
Commerce, is keeping fairly quiet.
It helped to put over NRA, and
it's leaders, many of them, are
inside the Roosevelt administra-
ton and bound thereby to keep
quiet on the basis of loyalty.
Two other right wing outfits
are pretty quiet, too. They are
the bankers, who still smart I'M
der the opprobrium and funny
stories carried over from last
March, and the Wall Street stock
eXchangers. The latter are on the
defensive now.
But among the active conserva-
tiveS are some real moguls.
Treasury Secretary Morgenthau
seems to be No. l. Commerce
Secretary Daniel Roper danger
GUS Dam now seems to be No. 2.
Gerard Swope is high on the list.
The committee for the nation, now
that the dollar is devalued, is get
ting busy to white down the
stock exchange bill. Roper's I'M
official business advisory and
planning council Tor the depart
ment of commerce" is getting in
some ticks.
The National Association of
Manufacturers, ancient enemy Of
organized labor and defender of
rugged individualiSm, is active in
Hobbies at congress, and elsewhere,
including among its activities
NRA'S Weirton case.
INSIDE the new deck there is
l. plenty of conflict between left
and right in addition to the fa-
nous Peek Tugwell split. Public
works, civil works, the labor de-
partment, agriculture and railroad
coordination are packed full of
left-wingers.
But in treasury, commerce and a
large part of NRA the tale is diff
ferent. Mr.. Morgenthau is active
ly but quietly for modification of
the stock exchange bill. Hugh
JohnSon's 100 or so administrat-
ors are so nearly all business men,
and rocking the boat is the last
thing they would do.
Hugh himself is a little more
imaginative, and probably would
not be afraid of boat rocking if
he thought it would work. But
he would have to be pushed if he
went left. His advisory boards
have plenty of left-wingers, but
he doesn't always listen to them.
CECRETARY ROPER'S public
~ utterances are extremely in
teresting-his latest speeches in
florida, for instance. In one he
quoted John Stuart Mill and ex-
pressed regret to a Robbins col
lege audience that the public has
been led to place "over-emphasis
on the Brain Trust and college
professors" in the adminiStra-
ton.
Il can think Of no single legis-
lative enactment up to this time
which has been dominated by the
views of any single professor or
group of professors" he said. He
spoke glowingly of all the 'prac-
teal business men" who are aid
ing III emergency and reform
legislation.
But the next day at BabSon
park he again quoted Mil. Is
