PUBLIC AFFAIRS
TRAINING PLANNED
Conferences on 0rganlza-
ton Being Held in
New York.

Considerable progress has been
made on plan to establish IN Wash
ington a National Institution of Pub
lie Affairs for the purpose of train
ing selected students in the functions
of the Government and to increase
interest in service in the civil branches
of the Government.
Chester H Mccall, asSiStent to Sec
retary of Commerce Roper. is in New
York today to continue conferences
looking to establishment of the or
ganiZation. Otis T. Wingo, jr.. both
of whose parents were members CT
Congress, has been giving his full time
to the institution since shortly after
the meeting of the National Student
Federation of America here last De-
cember.
Secretary Roper, who first Sug-
geSted the plan. has described it as
training school for the civil branches
0. the Government, corresponding to
West Point and Annapolis in train
ing Army and Navy officers
Roper Asks Cooperation.
Secretary Roper has called upon the
Office of Education in the Interior
Department and the Civil Service
Commission to cooperate with the
National Student Federation in con-
Quoting the school.
The plan, as at present outlined,
Is to have from $50 to 200 students
selected from leading colleges in all
parts of the country, come to WASH
ington during the months of January,
February and March, on leave of alb
sence from their classes, to study the
10 executive departments and Con-
greSs in action.
The students would be introduced
to the several departments first by
addresses made by cabinet members
or other high-ranking departmental
officials. The lecture would be fol-
lowed by visits to the bureaus where
the students would learn the detailed
processes of the several governmental
functions. These visits would be sup
plemented by further technical lee
lures by experts from the bureaus or
Offices.
Varied Studies Planned.
A similar study of Congress would
be made by having the students OBJ
serve the Senate and House OF Rep
resentatives in action. attend COM
mittee hearings, and then hear a
series Of lectures on parliamentary
subjects by members Of Congress.
The plan does not include any f.
nancial expenditures by the Govern
ment. which would simply supply the
Laboratory" by permitting the stu
dents to make close contacts with
Federal offices and departments.
The institution was approved by the
student federation and a committee
representing that organization has
been working on the plan since the
first of the year.
Mccall is expected to return to
Washington tomorrow and a definite
announcement of the establishment of
the institution is expected within a
few weeks.

"Fair Weather Flyers"
A general would be called stupid II
he trained his soldiers only in fair
weather, in balmy climates and dur
ing the daylight hours. Yet our mil
itary and naval aviation, as the rec
ords show, has almost generally fol-
lowed this procedure during the past
eight years. A military machine, to
be of any effectiveness at all. must be
able to take the field or take to sea
in anv season, no matter how inclem-
ent the weather or how dark the
night. Surprise-perhaps the greatest
essential in Warfare-unusual or un-
suspected occasions must be chosen
for such attacks.
Army and Navy aviation, on the
other hand, has studiously refrained
from becoming other than fair
weather flyers" We find most OF our
air fields and aviation training CEN
tiers in the Southern portion OF the
United States, where there is little
fog. less rain and maximum OF ultra
violet rays To expect flyers trained
under these gentle conditions to ny
amidst ice storms and snow storms or
in cold, foggy weather, is akin to ex-
pecting a Florida bathing beauty to
withstand successfully the rigors of a
Saskatchewan Winter. Indeed, the
Army indicts its own Air Corps when
it reports that Army training courses
in flying include 10 hours blind fly
ing minimum and 20 hours minimum
night flying. During the last fiscal
year only per cent of the Army's
flying was done at night"
Coupled with this ambition to excel
in weather flying, is the Air
Corps deficiency in assigning to its
aviators definite constructive work
for the individual. No matter what
amount of money may be given to

Today's Science
by DAVID DIETZ

A UTUNIN ended the drought in big way. In
I \ many Of the interior states where the drought
had hung from the first of January to the end of
August, the weather picture changed completely from
then on with abnormally heavy rains in September,
October and November. These facts are pointed out
by J. B. Kincer of the United States Weather Bureau
Washington.
However, despite these heavy autumn rains the
subSO moisture is still deficient in many states and
the average rainfall for the year will remain below
normal in these same sections
Another interesting fact about the autumn
that every state in the nation had temperatures above
normal This happens only rarely Mr.. Kincer says.
Usually when part of the country is than
normal, some other part is colder
Many states in which the rainfall up to the end
Of August had averaged only so per cent of normal
had ranfals of $50 per cent for September October
and November. Here are some of the figures given by
Mr.. Kincer:
Iowa, IS per cent from January through August;
$50 per cent from September through November.
Nebraska, so per cent, 103 per cent? Kansas 81 per
cent 1874 per cent; Missouri SO per cent, 164 per cent
and illinois, 81 per cent, 154 per cent.
The fact remains, however, that many of these
states will be below normal for the year.
A Ii of the nation, however did not fare well in
n autumn the Mddlewest and the Central VAL
ley. The Ohio Valley remained dry.
Ohio, Mr.. Kincer says after moderately dry sum-
mer had only 80 per cent of normal rainfall for
September, October and November. The far South
west and the Northern Great Plains also continued
dry through the fall.
North Dakota, after 50 per cent of normal rainfall
for the first eight months of the year. had only So
per cent for the next three. This means that North
Dakota will finish the year with only little more
than half normal rainfall.
THE Southwest likewise had dry autumn Colo
RADIO, with 81 per cent of normal rainfall for the
first eight months of the year. had only 81 per cent
for the next three In Utah. the corresponding per-
centages were So and go, in Arizona, 81 and 54 in
New Mexico SO and &c.
Autumn rains we're abundant in the middle Allan
tic states and in the Mississippi Valley states Among
those with the larger percentages were Wisconsin,
40; Maryland 1874; Virginia, 152, and Mississippi 148
Rain was plentiful in the East during autumn
with the exception of Georgia and Florida. These two
ran into serious dry spell during the latter part
Of the fall.
The abrupt change in weather conditions in many
states fom summer to fall illustrates the difficulties
facing ,ne5eorologsts in making long-term weather
forecasts.

Your Health
= BY DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN-

A PROMINENT specialist in diseases of the bones
and joints has described the case of a girl 10
years old who suffered from pains in her feet, and
VINO finally began 10 use crutcheS because it hurt her
so much to walk. When careful study of this child
was made it found that she was inclined to fat
that one leg slightly shorter than the other that
she had knock knees md turned ankles a certain
amount OF curving in her spine unevennesS in the
shoulders. and that she held her head in the wrong
position.
The trouble with her feet was apparently the
slightest OF her difficulties and most eXplanable
by her overweight 1t was, in fact, merely a part
of a general disturbance of posture. X-ray pictures
disclosed complete twisting of the SPINE includ-
ing the pelvS, which really the most important
and serious of the conditions that troubled her
1t became possible through use of correct Shoes
Swapping of the feet to hold them in the right DO
sition and suitably applied exercises to obtain COM
pete relief from the trouble with the feet in about
six weeks
OUCH Investigations are particularly important fol
~ growing girls. While they are active in their
school work and in their gymnastics they are like
ly to pay little attention to their posture
AS they get older, the conditions accumulate
and eventually they begin to suffer from pains in
the back sciatica similar troubles which could
have been prevented by proper consideration during
the period of youth.
Sometimes all that is necessary after the child
is examined is the raising of the heel of the shoe
on one SIDE or treating of the heel to correct faulty
twisting Of the leg.
Some girls develop fitting of the pelvic bones
due to habitual sitting on one foot.
IF you notice that your child is having difficulty in
walking, that it carries its body badly, that it
complains a great deal of fatigue when standing
have a proper examination made of the child's pos
ture.
Such examination will include not only study of
all the usual things that looked at in physical
examination, but also determination as to whether
the peviS is even the spine normal and the legs of
equal length.
In making such measurements it is desirable to
use a plumb line such as builders use to determine
alignment in buildings and also actually to measure
the distances with measuring tape rather than to
guess at them.

The Character of the Press

stick its chubby little face up to the microphone so
that it could squawk innocent babes appeal to the
jurors on Christmas night. But then, on the other
hand, this might have been inadvisable as tending
TO remind the jurors that the son of Charles A. Lind
bergh also may have cried babes appeal to the man
who stole him out of his crib at night and crushed
his head
There was delicate decision to be made there
But, considering the risk involved against the result
which might have been obtained, perhaps it was
wiser not to pinch or jab the Hauptmanns innocent
paoe and make it Squawk its heart-cry for its daddy
on Christmas night.
American Journalism, always a leader in the fight
Tor swift, unconfused justice in the courts v have
reason to take particular pride in its conduct of the

Baroness EloiSe BoSquet de Wag-
ner Wehrborn, once of the gay
life of Vienna and Paris salons.
There was slight, unimpreSsive
Alfred Rudolph Lorenz, her lover
and her business partner when
they ran a dress shop in Paris.
And there was Robert PhiHppSon,
just a good friend of both the
others.
So here were the makings of
modern Eden. But the old resi-
dents were soon Scandalized by
the goings-on of the new candi-
dates for bliss. On this island of
nudism and unfettered freedom,
they we're shocked at the baroness
traipsing about the island in a
costume that consisted mostly Of
a large pearl-handled revolver.
n
CORDIAL with Partisan
~ SAVIOR faire to the infrequent
explorers who put in at Charles
Island, there were runorS that
the baroness was domineering by
nature, and had imprisoned visit
ing fishermen and threatened the
occasional natives who from time
to time visited the island.
In so far as there can be Cos
sip and political intrigue on an
island with only 10 inhabitants,
they pointed to ambitions Of the
baroness to become empress Of a
south sea CONAN.
She began to dominate Lorenz,
who had been her partner and
lover, reducing MIN to a sort of
dish-waSher and general mental
in the scheme Of Things. AS time
passed, she showed an increasing
preference fer Fnilippson.
It was a very old story Of two
men and a woman, tne only diff
ference being that 1T worked out
somewhat more Savagely under
primitive conditions than in
Vienna or Paris. Several savage
fights between Lorenz and Phil
ippson varied the tedium of life
on Charles Island.
In fact, a Norwegian sailor who
called there and talked with
Lorenz wrote letter in which he
said Lorenz told him they fought
with hands, clubs, and rocks for
the one-time noblewoman, while
she stood on the sidelineS and
egged on the combatantS with
thrilled enthusiasm.

counters. once he left the love
nest and stayed some time with
the WittmerS. Then he returned.
But the rivalry with PhilippSon
continued. Sometimes they fought
as often as three times a week.
Finally it become plain that
Philippson had replaced Lorenz
definitely in the affections of the
tempeStuouS baroness. The snake
of jealousy not only had reared
his head in Eden, but he had
taken his first bite.

happened.
Lorenz told visiting sailor
that the baroness and PhiIippSon
left him behind when they sailed
away together from Charles Is
land in a small boat, evidently
seeking another and even more
IelIlOCe pdIdu1SSs
But a month or more ago the
partly mummified bodies of Lo-
REM and a Norwegian sailor
named Nuggeruud we're found on
the beach of Marchena Island
by Capt. Borthen. There, too,
was a pile of baby clothes, some
French money, Lorenz' passport,
and bundle of letters in Ger
man, Swedish, and English, most
ly bearing the name Of Mrs. Mar
garet Wittmer. Here certainly
was a pretty mystery for desert
island.
IT appears that the letters and
L baby clothes were the Witt
mers', possibly, being sent out by
Lorenz as a messenger who was
to match the clothes and mail the
letters when he reached a steamer
lane. But he did not reach it.
Apparently the small boat was
wrecked and Lorenz and Nugge-
ruud reached temporary safety on
barren Marchena Island, only to
die slowly and miserably of star
walton and thirst on coast that
has neither food nor fresh water.
But the baroness and Philippson
have vanished. No one knows
where they are. Did they sail
away, as Lorenz indicated before
his death, in a direction in which
there are no habitable islands?
Are they, perhaps, even today in
secluSion somewhere on Charles
Island, having forced Lorenz to

hopeless odds, Nippon, by mir
acle, won.
Today, she is on the point of a
bigger gamble still. And for still
bigger stake. Supremacy over the
entire Orient. The odds seem to
be overwhelmingly against her.
If she wins, half the population
of the globe will be directly or
indirectly under her control.
If she loses, she may face the
future as a third class power.
That Nippon is aware that she
may be stalking her future on the
next few throws is amply evil
denced. That is why, tomorrow.
she will notify the United States
of her withdrawal from the naval
pacts. She then may try to build
herself a navy second to none.
That is why, too, her munitions

and why she is accommodating re-
serves of oil, iron, acids and other
raw materials needed for national
defense.

on Charles Island.
Should search uncover such a
cache, it would lend color to the
murder theory, for it is assumed
that not even so cratic a soul as
the baroness would depart, leav-
ing such trove behind her.
Such a finding would seem to
indicate that murder had been
added to the vicious quarreling
and pitiful deaths which have al
ready marked this latest effort to
find paradise by leaving all the
