The question was trivial but the at

How Work Drive
Started
Air-Conditioning
Essential
The City Beautiful

When the Secretary of the
Interior, Harold Ickes, called his
staff of 1000 employees together
the other day and warned them
against soldering" on the Job, it
sent a cold chill down the backs of
nearly half a million Federal job
holders, even though the thermome-
ter in this hot and humid city stood
at 100 degrees in the shade. The
idea that the department stats are
expected to do any real work in the
Summer is shocking, even to the
seasoned civil servants. To the re-
cent political appointees, who got
on the Federal payrolls because they
were efficient workers in the cam
paign of 1882, it is almost paralyz-
ing. What sort of. a reward is it,
anyway, to have to do some work
as well as drawing a salary?
The idea is gaining strength here
that Mr.. Ickes is about efficient an
administrator within the sphere of
his departments activities, as has
been seen in Washington for some
time. He intends to get things done
if everybody in his department has
to sweat to get 'em done. What
started him off his disciplinary pro-
gram war an incident that occured
when he went into the office of a
minor bureau assistant and saw the
occupant Of it with his feet on his
desk, reading a newspaper and
smoking a cigarette.

Some of the new Federal build
ings are unconditional. equipped
with modern mechanism to keep the
temperature and humidity at a COM
Portable degree all the year around.
But none of the old ones and not all
of the new ones have yet set up this
modern method of enabling people
to work in comfort. Both houses Of
Congress have air-conditidnang
systems, and so has the Presidents
private office. Mr.. Hoover had that
done when the structure was re-
built, after the fire that DESTROYED
it in 1880.
Now President Roosevelt is hav-
ing his offices enlarged. and the
whole wing of the White House will
be unconditional. Some parts of
the new Commerce building, the
offices occupied by the Secretary
and some Of the higher officials, are
also so equipped, but Congress has
never been willing to appropriate
money to extend the system to en-
tire buildings.
Under the present Governmental
system, whereby the President is
handed a few billions to spend about
as he pleases, it is expected that a
fair slice of the Public Works Ad-
ministration funds, which Secretary
Ickes manages, will go toward re-
moving the last excuse of Govern
ment clerks for loafing on the job.

The young man didn't know Mr.
Ickes by sight, SO when the Score
tary of the Interior asked, mildly:
SIS this the way you usually re-
ceive v%isitors?" the nonchalant re-
ply was: whats that to you?"
Then the Secretary identified
himself, and one young man in the
Federal Service has been shaking in
his boots ever since.
That incident started Nj. Ickes
on a quiet tour of inspection of the.
Interior Department. He found, as
he told his assembled staff, many
men and women in the cafeteria,
after the time they were supposed
to be at their desks, eating their
breakfasts on Government time. He
found many others spending more
time in the rest-rooms than in their
offices. Some of the feminine en-
ployees had got the feet-on-the-de
habit. Those things, he told them,
must stop. The heads of depart
ments and bureau chiefs are work
ing overtime, days, night and Sun
days, in all of the Federal Offices:
and least in a full days work,
The hours are not onerous, seven
hours a day for five days a week:
and he didn't see any reason why
they couldn' t stand that amount of
work.

The Irresistible NeuIrOn.
(New York Times.)

Still ignorant of the precise nature of the neutron physicists already see it's possibilities both in battering the atom to pieces and in competing with the X-rays therapeutic agent. Unlike the positron the eectron and the proton, the neutron is electrically dead For this it has penetrating powers possessed by no other material particle. Hurl an electron proton or an alpha particle at bit of matter and it must penetrate wall after wall of energy. The odds against piercing these intangible yet very real electrical defenses very great Electricity is pitted against electricity in the unequal battle What the physicist obviously needs is a projectile which has no electrical pre- affections, and which will therefore dash through the protective walls of energy and strike the nucleus within full and fair
 The neutron meets the requirements. To hurl it is another matter There is no way of pulling lit pushing it at high speed toward the target, So, as we learned in yesterdays account from the University of California Dr. Ernest Lawrence uses it indirectly With kind of electric sling he whirls charged deutons-the cores of the newly discovered heavy hydrogen atoms-unt at least they acquire speed enough to penetrate the walls of energy by which the atoms of lithium, beryllium and other elements defended. shower of neutrons from the target is the result, shower that passes through most matter light passes through glass
 Given this powerful weapon in his assault lon matter it is clear that the physicist stands on the brink of great discoveries Transmutation the release of energy-these have ceased to be merely romantic possibilities. Indeed, they are almost by-products It is the secret of matter that lis of vital mport-the secret held by every stone and star. Fathom that and the cosmos becomes an open book and assumes a deeper meaning The only doubt is the ability of the physicist under stand his discoveries Thus far his atom smashing has served to perplex than to tighten Protons positrons, electrons, alpha par ticles, deutons, neutrons-they have not aided him much in comprehendng what we mean by the solid ity of brick the fluidty of water or what we call the real nature of things.
 The truth about the atom may be unknowabe. We expect at least working formula which will partially appease the questioning mind-all that science ever do for us. The neutron is the name of something that we may never understand. But it is also an aid in devising the formula that we have been seeking since began think ing about the universe.
