~ EOPLE can become accustomed
ID to almost anything. It was
just 80 with Mr.. Sparrow
i whose tail Grandfather Frog
had pulled cut. At first Mr..
Sparrow felt disgraced. He wanted
to keep out Of sight. He had no rea-
son to feel that way but he did. But
four growing babies demanding food
all day long gave him little time to
think about 1t and after the first day
or two, when he had become accus-
toned to flying without a tail, he
went about his work Of helping Mrs.
Sparrow feed those children quite as
II nothing had happened.
1t had been comforting to be told
that In time he would grow o new
tail. II hope 1t Is true" he would
say to himself. "Of course, every
ones grow, but only q few at time
and at certain seasons. This isn't
the season. Those tail feathers were
not ready to drop out. They were
pulled out and all at once. Perhaps
I'll have to go all Summer without a
tail until the season for growing new
feathers begins. Well, 1t can't be
helped and there Is no use worrying
about IT,"
My, how those babies grew. And the
bigger they got the more food they de-
manded. Father and mother were kept
SO busy hunting insects and worms for
them that they hardly had time to
eat and sleep themselves. Up and out
hunting at break of day and keeping
it up until the dusk of evening, that
is the way it was day after day.
When those babies Matched from the
eggs they were the most helpless lit
tie things you can imagine, without
feathers, eyes not open. And In Just
IL days they were feathered and
ready to leave the nest. It takes
lot Of food to make babies grow like
that.
On the next day they did leave the
nest and father took charge of them.
He kept them well hidden IN the
brush and under the ferns, for as yet
they could do no more than fly few
feet. But they could use their legs
and he showed them how to hunt for
food and they were quick to learn. 1t
helped a lot, but he still had to sup
ply most of the food. Mother helped
some, but she was busy fixing up the
nest for q second family, so 1t fell to
father to look after the youngsters
just starting out in the Great World.
You may be sure that one of the first
things he warned them about when
they really began to ny was not to fly

To a Wren

BY JAMES J. MONTAGUE.
Each Spring, as soon as you appeared,
I've made you welcome as my guest.
A tidy little house I've reared
Where you might sing or take your
rest.
I did not know your habits then.
Nor dream that you would rise at
dawn
And chirp, and chirp. and chirp, and
Keep chirping on.
Arising with the earliest lark
And chirruping till after dark.
Moreover, when I walk about
You hop along from tree to tree,
And past the shadow of doubt,
You actually curse at me
At me, who built your house for you,
And nourished you with tender care.
Was that a decent thing to do,
Or even fair?
You arrant poacher in my garden,
You really ought to sue for pardonl
Sometimes think, when you are
gone,
That I shall take that house away.
It does not ornament the lawn,
Why should I watch and tend it,
pray?
But when the Spring is here again
And you, on matrimony bent,
Appear with some new alien wren,
Well, I relent,
And do not murmur or protest
While you construct another nest.

Today S Science
by DAVID DIETZ-

A MEXICAN scientists who will attend the meet
ing next week Of the National Academy Of
Sciences in Washington, are looking forward to the
address which Sir Arthur Eddngton is scheduled
to give on The Unifcation of the Einsten Theory
and the Quantum Theory"
Sir Arthur famed British astronomer is one Of
the worlds chief authorities RELATIVELY and has
elaborated with Einstein in many studies for the
past two decades He was head of Of the two
eclipse expeditions which verified the Einstein theory
in 1919 and so brought it into world prominence
When I visited Sir Arthur in Cambridge, Eng
land in 1923, he told me that he then making
frequent trips to Holland TO meet Enstein and dis
cuss various new developments Of his theory with
him For many years scientists have been looking
forward to the development Of a-inclusive theory
which would embrace both the Enstein theory Of
relatively and the quantum theory.
Many Of the difficulties which have been puzzing
mathematical physicists for the last few years would
be solved. Einstein himself in 1929 published what
he called unified field theory" an attempt to write
one set Of equations which would explain both grav
tatlon and electromagnetic phenomena. However,
not a great deal has been heard Of this particular
attempt since.
TT is interesting to note that any unihcation of
relatively and the quantum theories IS really a
unifcation Of two of Einstein's own theories. In
1905, the year in which Einsten published his first
paper on relatively. the so-caed special theory Of
relatively, he also published a paper entitled The
Quantum Law Of the Emission and Absorption Of
Light"
The ground work for the ouantum theory had
DR. Max Planck, but it was in this paper that Elm
stein first set forward the revolutionary theory that
light be regarded as consisting not of waves but of
particles "quanta"
The revolution in modern scientific thought which
finds its climax in the relatively theories Of Einstein
had its inception IN 1900 when Panck performed his
experiments upon the way in which energy was ra-
dated away by heated bodies.
The spotlight Of public attention erratic as
lightning in its behavior chose 10 ignore the guam
tum theory and concer trate upon the relatively
hut Ia
more revolutionary.
When beam OF light Strikes a sheet Of metal
It causes electrons to be elected from it.
Einstein showed that the way in which this oc-
ours can only be explained by assuming that light
consists not Of continuous waves but of little bullets
or packets Of energy. These are known today
quanta, or photons.
But there has been one great difficulty in the way
Of accepting the quantum theory without reservation
That is the fact that the older experiments which
apparently showed light to consist Of waves. not
be explained upon the basis Of any theory but the
way theory of light; the quantum theory will not
explain +heSe experiments.

7 THINK it would be an excellent idea to have a
i committee empowered to examine Mr.. Tugwell
and it should also be authorized to hear testimony
as to the nature and reason of the vast newspaper
and periodical campaign against him. I think it
would be decidedly interesting to hear of the money
srant by food and drug makers to get the assistant
secretary of agriculture. think that the American
public has right to know just what is in the mind
of the editor or the congressman who takes off his
coat and begins to sail into the bolShevik brain
truster"
It would be salutary to ascertain just how much
of this is conditioned by DR.. Tugweus attempt to
limit far-fetched and fake advertising.
AS a matter of fact, as an admrer of Mr.. Tugwen
there nothing would like to see better than to
have his ideas spread out on the record. 1 think
the plotters have lOOSed a genie they will not be
able to get back into the jar 1t is the desire of all
the reactonaries to drive everybody back into the
tight confines of 1926 and then stamp the lid down.
In the eyes of these statesmen 1926 very close
to Utopia, but Bugs Baer once said concerning
the makers of near bea, they are bum judges OF
distance.

Principal reason for indianapolis

Your Health
by DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN-

DURING the last ten years enough new informa-
II ton has been developed about scarlet fever TO
make it possible for the medical profession to offer
protection against that disease.
Before that time the definite cause of scarlet
fever by germ had not been established. Now that
germ is identified as a streptoooccus which. under
the microscope; looks in numbers like chain of
bears
These germs are coughed from the throat, or
otherwise expelled from the body of a person who
has scarlet fever and are breathed by those who
are well.
i resistant to scarlet fever he will not come down
with the disease when the germs invade.
However the majority of children are not Sufi-
GENTLY resistant TO overcome the invasion of vru-
lent germs; hence when they are in contact with
those who have scarlet fever. they likely to be
themselves infected.
Even If child does not incur the infection. it is
possible for him to carry the germs to some one
else.
A the germs of scarlet fever grow in the throat
"a they develop poison which is taken up by
the body and which produces the symptoms Of the
disease. These symptoms include fever. nausea von-
iting and the brilliant red eruption all over the
body which gives the disease its name.
The rash. or eruption. usually appears the
skin first on the chest and abdomen and then
spreads over the whole body except the face
However the tongue and even the face may have
have red glow or flush typical of the infectious
fevers.
In many instances scarlet fever is mild disease,
but there are some cases in which attacks the ears
the kidneys, and the heart and thereby produces
permanent damage if not death.

a CCORDING to the testimony, DR.. Writ has
never seen Mr.. Tugwell never talked with Mr..
Tugweu, talked with anybody who had talked
with Mr.. Tugwell. Just why he should be summoned
as a Tugwellian authority is still mysterious. The
only explanation lies in the curious temper Of some
members OF the committee. Some of the radio
listeners complained that too tight rein was put
on Mr.. MCGugin of Kansas
However, 1 can testify that with my own ears
heard the gentleman PROFOUND a query which seems
to me a low for any semi judicial hearing.
Laurence Todd had just testified that at the dinner
he said nothing whatsoever and Mr. McGugin asked,
We'll. if you had said anything it would have been
COmmunistic, wouldn't it?'
There is an excellent authority Mr.. Tugwell
now living in Washington His name is ReXford
Guy Tugwen. If the house wanted to get at him
why didn't they vote the appointment of COM
mittee to investigate him? AS matter of fact,
the committee set up merely authorized to in
quire into certai charges made by William Writ.
These as it developed did not remotely touch Mr..
Tugwen. AS a result We had a farcal hearing in
which young who had never read line of
his books or speeches was soemny asked to eXpound
his philosophy.
