Today S Science
BY DAVID DIETZ-

PORTABLE X-ray machine makes it possible
N to examine steel conduts going into the
Boulder Dam for faulty YIELDS. An "electronic
frieker" is being used in the Chicago detective bur-
eau means for locating concealed weapons in
prisoners clothing Thus does theoretical science
become practical in widely divergent fields.
It is now common to X-ray machine to
test electric YIELDS in boilers pressure drums, and
similar devices. But usually, the X-ray apparatus
is installed in special room and the work to be
examined is brought to it. At Boulder Dam, some
of the conduits consist of pipes which are thirty
feet in diameter and which have walls two and
quarter inches thick Under the circumstances
it decided that it would be simpler to bring
X-ray machine to the conduitS and so a. portable
apparatus developed
Testing the YIELDS is highly important because
these pipes will have to stand pressure of 800
pounds square inch.
The "electronic frickef' consists of a small coil
of wire connected to suitable radio amplifers and
alarm bell. This small exploring coil" is passed
rapidly the suspects clothing. If he has any
articles of iron steel concealed whether gun
a blade, or much smaller object the apparatus
will locate it. This fact is Immediately announced
by the ringing of the bell.
A NEW branch of applied science has grown I'D
IA in the last decade. Gradually, it is becoming
known the science of electronics Its largest sub
division is that of radio, but it includes all fields
which make of electron tubes.
The vacuum tubes in your radio set are electron
tubes because their action depends upon the emission
of electrons by the hot hlaments within the tubes
Scientists call this phenomenon the thermo-
effects.
Another important subdivision of electronics is
built around the photoelectric effect The heart of
the apparatus used in this field is the photoeecric
cell electric eye Eectrons again are at the basis
of the action of the photoelectric CELL The beam of
light entering the CELL knocks electrons out of the
metallic coating upon the inside of the cell.

Some Money Available

MOTHER court decision given by Federal Judge
L William P. James of California says that "the
conclusion is unacceptable that Mrs. Lowe and her
attorney, McGugin, working in harmony with
the Indian agent to obtain control of large por-
ton of the bonds"
The judge also quoted from a contract between
the affectionate lady and Statesman McGugin'S law
firm whereby the law firm to receive Is per cent
of all the money she might receive from Barnett
or his estate. Statesman McGugins firm was not
greedy, however, the statesmans firm agreed to call
it all even if their share ever reached $5000O0
And there is a record in the supreme court of the
District of Columbia in which old-t time Justice
of the peace in Coffeyville, Kan told of marrying
the happy couple and, at the brides request sending
in a lawyer Immediately after the ceremony. The
justice of the peace said he happened to meet the
1nclplent statesman he going down the street
and told him about the client in return for 10 per
cent of the fee. This was the beginning of the
pleasant professional relationship between Attorney
(now statesman McGugn and the lady who mar
ried Indian.
Unfortunately, however, Judge James of Cali
forna in his recent decision annulled the marriage
and Statesman McGugin now is confronted with the
task of convincing the honorable court that it should
not be necessary for his firm to return to the estate
$135000 representing the firms share of the S550OO0
received by the blushing but level-headed bride.
The government seems to believe that all con-
tracts dependent on the romance null and void,
too and, altogether, Statesman McGugin has reason
to view with alarm
The statesman is quite busy at this time fighting
for the fine old American principles which he holds
dear, but later he might be induced to pose for
his statue depicting honor, dignity, ethics and
Scrupulosity, all in one.

pointed.
Perhaps that might have hap
pened in the old days, when the
reichstag had more influence, but
now, when things are different,
Germany's position would not be
modified in the least. She will
not demand more, but certainly
she will not demand less.
I remarked that in the United
States and elsewhere abroad
there seemed to be a growing fear
that Europe might De headed to-
ward another conflict.
The baron replied that nobody
wants war and he does not be-
lieve there will be, one. Any
statesman who lets his country in
for another war, he said, would
be a fit subject for an asylum
for lunatics.
If there is another war in Eu-
rope, he went on, it would mean
the end Of Europe, which can not
survive another conflict. There is
not a single problem before the
European powers today, he in
sisted, which can not be settled
by peaceful methods.
All that is needed is a little
good will on the part of all.

concerned, Baron Won Neurath

anathema to Glass. He has
stormed and ragged at Steagal,
who has gone his way uncon-
cernedly-a fact which has not
endeared him to the trigger-tem-
pered Virginian.
Now Steagall has again thrown
a defy into Glass teeth.
Recently, the senate, with Pres
ident Roosevelt's approval and
under Glass leadership, passed a
bill continuing for another year
the present $4,000 limit on federal
bank deposit insurance. The
measure went to Steagalls COM
mittee.
He took his sweet time in acting
on it. And when finally he got
around to reporting out the meas
ure it was a Steagall bill and not
the one Glass favored.
Not only had the deposit guar
antee been tipped to $4,000, but,
adding insult to injury, Steagall
had calmly tackled on a provision
for paying depositors in closed
banks.
If there is one thing to which
Glass is adamantly opposed, it is
the popular proposal to use fed
eral funds to liquidate frozen de-
poSitS.
Steagall's proposition is merely
permisSive, authorizing the adj
ministration to pay off depositors
if it sees fit. The inside whisper
among congressional leaders is
that it is merely gesture to quiet
the nation wide agitation for such
legislation.
But it is not soothing Carter.
He has already started thunder
ing against it, and when it reach
es the senate floor the lightning
probably will be both brilliant and
devastating.

unless the court minded to suppress this revou-

traditional faith in democracy and make choice
between fascSm and communism.
He pointed out that the right to picket and per-
suade was definitely a part of the constitutional
guarantee of free speech and free assembly. He
called attention to the uncontradiced testimony that
violence was injected into the strike for the first
time when picketS were attacked with gas and mis-
sileS from the windows of the plant. The judge
himself, slow moving ordinarily, was almost galvan-

NEW issues since the inception

system than the present cat-and-

the fight has been so bitter and

obscured the real issue-whethe
American business is to be in
dividualiStic or is to develop into
system of chain stores, chain
factories and vertical trusts.
The United States was founded
on a system of individualism. On
the other hand, it has been the
small factory owner, the sweat
shop proprietor, who has exploited
labor, driven wages down to the
starvation point. The big COM
panies, despite attacks upon them
by the administration, despite
many unfair practices, on the
whole have paid better wages.

w like?
That is the question that people
are asking since it was announced
that she was a co-star with Douglas
Fairbanks Jr. in Catherine the
Great
In Europe she is talked about just
as we talk about Greta Carlo in
Hollywood. She is the pride of the
Strand, the Prater and the Rue de
Ia PaiX.
When she previewed her first i'm
portant European film, "Nju," she
dashed out of the projection room
in costume and makeup and she
never came back.
She has been compared to DuSe
and Bernhard but shushes people
who mention their names.
She loves to say unfattering
things about herself to people and
then leaves them wondering whether
it is true.
She is crazy about dogs and goes
to every dog show in London. She
is in London now playing the lead
in Escape Me Not" This show
with it's original cast will be brought
to New York in September.
Miss Bergner is said to look most
feminine when she is wearing boys
apparel. She really hates to see
women smoke but smokes continu-
ously herself.
Miss Bergner is in love with her
husband, DR.. Paul Czinner, who has
directed all of her film successes,
including Catherine The Great"

He's Just the Type

ON his record in the case of Jackson Barnett he
~ is obviously just the type the citizens need to
guard their property rights and protect their good
old sacred heritage. There might be depreciation
on their property and some wear and tear on the
good old sacred heritage in the course of the Strug
gle, but Statesman McGugin hardly could be ex-
pected to replace all divots in contest that kind
The point is that Statesman McGugin stands
ever ready to challenge the destructive and down
right dishonest philosophy of the reds which would
law and uphold his own honest, homespun principles
1t is quite another matter to take property by due
process of law
Statesman McGugin now is involved in some pro-
ceSses OF law having to do with the estate of the
feeble minded Indian, Jackson Barnett, whose
quarter-Section of land allotted him by the govern
ment, was discovered one day to be floating hum
mock lake of oil.
