He Just Keeps Going

IF Huey Long enslaves white Louisiana, the Negro
suffers no loss of his rights because he never was
allowed to vote or who happened to be his
master. Having no stake in the game and no mind
with which to wonder whittier his country is drift
ing he hoes his patch minds his business and leads,
to hear his white neghborS tell it, ideal existence
free of worry and responsibility
1t would seem, therefore, that the white man
needlessly and foolishly scourges himself when ne
sends himself off to the state university and pre-
pares his mind for lifetime of wishing and self
sympathy.
But who then, is the dumb one? Is it the Negro
who guards his happiness by preserving his
ignorance or his white superior who knows the secret
of the Negroes happiness yet wlfuly ncurs the curse
of knowledge?
There is Just one why your correspond
ent has fully believed in the idyhc happiness
of the Negro fied-hand. 1t has always seemed, in
view of the white mans well-known propensity to
claim the best things in life for himself, that If the
Negro were so enviable in his ignorance and pow
erty he long ago would have been driven out OF his
little cabin and compelled to live in the big house.

More Doubts, Less Diplomas

VXTHEN a young puts a cap and gown

and murmur in puzzlement. Where am -"
A good rOusing doubt is more valuable than any
diploma. An educated man is one who does not
believe everything ne reads in the newspapers or
hears the radio He should be insulated against
the prOpag anda for war and mouth washes.
And that reminds me of the fact that if teachers
arc TO protect academic freedom they will have to
organize along broad lines 10 get it. NY own belief
is that authors playwrightS, radio broadcasters,
screen writer's and newspaper have large inter-
ests IN common.
These the folk who. in combination, tell
America what IL is thinking and what it is going to
think in a weeks. a months or a years time. The
responsibility ought not TO be taken lightly with
out communal discussion.
After all. the educators of the land. using the
term in its largest sense. have right TO demand
that they should be the knights the bishops and the
queens and kings upon the board and not merely
the pawns to be sacrificed in the gambit of some

Today S Science

CPEAKINC before the National Academy of
- Sciences meeting in Cleveland. DR.. William D.
HsrinS described the latest experiments in artificial
radio-activity carried on at the University of Chi
caCo.
Fluorine was bOmbarded with a stream Of neu-
irons DSinteCration of the fiuorine which has an
atomic weight Of nineteen. produced nitrogen. But
this new kind Of nitrogen. never before seen.
II was heavier than ordinary nitrogen. which has
an atomic weight Of Il 1t had weight of six
teen. the weight of oxygen.
Almost immediately this new nitrogen became
radioactive turning itself into oxygen Such changes
frequently spoken Of as induced radioactvity."
The physicist knows Of many OF them today. The
first ones were performed by Professor F. Joliot of
Paris and his wife Irene Cure Joliot the daughter
Of the discoveries of radum. Similar experiments
have been carried on IN many laboratories both in
Europe and America.
Most active in the field Of research have been the
Italian physicists among them Professor E. Fermi,
E. Amaldi, o. DAgostino. F. Rasetti and E. Segre.
4 IL OF the forty distintegrations found by Fermi
n and his associates involve induced radioactive
itv.r That Is there initial transformation due
10 the impact Of the neutrons. followed by an in
duced subsequent radioactive transformation.
An outstanding aspect Of the work OF Fermi and
his associates that they have succeeded in getting
these changes in some OF the very heaviest chemical
elements.
Earlier work Of this sort was done with charged
particles for proiecties. namely. the positively
charged alpha particles deutons and protonS. These
were successful in causing transformation only in
the lighter chemical elements, those of atomic
weights Of twenty less.
THE neutron. being a particle without electrical
IL charge proved a much more penetrating pro-
lectile II succeeded entering the heavier nuclei
which were barred 70 charged particles
Regarding the second transformation. the one
which constitutes the induced rado-activity. Fermi
and his associates have found that in each OF twelve
cases where they have accurately determined its
nature that il consists Of the emission OF negative
electrOn.
Or. Karl X. DaTrOw calls attention 10 inter
eSting fact in this case. In previous experiments
IN which charged particles were used for lombard
ment. the induced radio-activlty was always accom-
panied by the emission OF a positive electron
poSitron.
The fun explanation Of these differences is not
yet known.

TINE disease that used to be called Group nowadays
is likely TO be called acute aryngtls or OCCASION
ally streptococcic sore throat
1t represents an inflammation Of the laryhX ana
throatn which usually the sreptococcus is involved,
but occasionally a germ called the staphylococcus
may be the cause.
The most serious form of infection in the throat
is that due to the germ Of dphtherla. In the other
types the tissues of the throat usually swollen
and red and there is a good deal of thick, gummy,
mucous material so that the voice is hoarse and
breathing occasionally difficult.
In dphtheria thick, adherent membrane forms
in the throat and in certain forms OF strepo-
coccus infection a membrane will form also out IN
general thick white membrane is typical Of diph-
iberia.
occasionally the swelling in the throat may
~ be so large as to cause great difficulty in BREATH
ing with wheeling In other cases the swelling may
spread rapidly from the throat into the bronchial
tubes and pneumonia may follow.
In the worst forms the fever is high the breathing
rapid and the patient is very ill., Such cases DO not
occur frequently in summer, but with the coming Of
cold weather, children often affected.
In the simplest cases of Group, the doctor usually
advises that the child be put promptly to bed given
plenty Of fluids and occasionally relieved by the IN
halation Of steam which may may not be medi-
Gated, according to the doctors orders

cases it may even be necessary to make an opening

ANY case in which there is great swelling IN the

serious because breathing IS necessary 10 LIE ana

The long spell Of disuse of the
Abbey as a royal wedding church
was broken in February, 1919,
when Lady Patricia, daughter of
the Duke of Connaught, (uncle Of
the present king, was married
there.
In February, 1922, the Abbey
once more was the scene Of royal
rejoicing when Princess Mary,
only daughter of the present king
and queen, was married there to
Lord Lascelles, now the Earl of
HARDWOOD.
Fourteen months later, the
Duke of York followed the ex-
amples of his sister and cousin
and also was married there amid
royal pomp and circumstance.
DUT, if with these exceptions,
- Westminster Abbey was for
centuries not the place for royal
weddings, it is, nevertheless, init
mately connected with the royal
house of England. Many sover-
eigns lie buried there, the last one
being George II, who died in 1850.
Since then most of them have
been buried in Windsor Castle.
Within the Abbey every English
king since Harold has been
crowned. with the exception of
Edward v, who never reigned. The
Abbey has been the scene of some
of the greatest national services,

There is a strange conflict in the thinking of the
educated white population of the south which always
has puzzled your correspondent.

little patch and handling almost no money from

the cabin Negro does seem content and there is no

American, Washington Irving.
The Abbey, originally dedicated
to st. Peter, was the church of the
Benedictine order and founded
about 958. It's site was that OF
an ancient Saxon church. AS an
Abbey it was dissolved by King
Henry VIII when he broke with
the Vatican.
Parts of the present structure
we're started as long ago as 1O5O
by Edward the Confessor.
The present building dates
mainly from the thirteenth CEN
fury, having been begun by Henry
III in 1245 in commemoratiOn Of
King Edward the ConfessOr. Its
type of architecture is mainly
what is known as Early English.
The present two towers were the
design of Sir Christopher Wren,
the immortal architect of ST..
Paul's cathedral and so many
other churches in London. They
were completed in 1740.
