Today's Science
BY DAVID DIETZ

EORTY sounding balloons are to be sent into the
stratosphere by scientists of the Massachusetts,
Institute of Technology The balloons carrying deli
cate recording instruments, will be released from
Lambert Field Airport, st. Louis, Mo-, sometime
within the next few week. This announcement gains
increased interest in the light Of news from Russia
that the balloon, Syrius rose to a height of 12A
miles, new world record for stratosphere flights.
Each of the M 1. T. balloons is about four feet
in diameter when inflated. The Instruments which
are of special design, weigh only few ounces Auto
matlcally, they Will record temperature, humidity
and atmospheric pressure. The instruments will be
inclosed in bamboo, shock-absorbing frames
AS the balloons mount higher and higher into
the stratosphere their internal gas pressure will be
counteracted by the smaller and smaller pressures
from the atmosphere AS a result the balloons will
expand until they finally burst Fragments Of the
broken balloons expected to slow up the descent
of the instrument frames sufficiently to bring them
down without damage.
1t is hoped that most of the balloons will reach
an altitude Of at least twelve miles.
DROFESSOR CARL G. ROSSBY, director of the
L NJ L T. Meteorological Laboratory. will direct
the stratoSphere studies at St Louis Dr. J. Bjerk-
mes, famous Norwegian meteorologist who is now a
visitor at M. l. T., will cooperate with Dr. Hurd G.
Willett of the M. I. T. staff in making the weather
forecasts upon which release of the balloons will
depend
Each balloon will bear an identification tag offer
ing reward OF 10 70 the finder provided the nstru-
menus ana tner RECORDS are not tempered with.
For two years now NJ. l. T. has been using an
airplane TO make high altitude observation fights
over New England in a program of research on
weather conditions. Lieutenant Henry B. Harris,
research pilot Of the plane, will go to ST. Louis to
make several flights daily three when the stratosphere
tests are in progress.
The proposed studies have been made possible by
a grant Of $4,000 from the Rockefeller Foundation.
THE United States army also has its eyes on the
l. stratosphere and is making plans to snatch the
stratosphere laurels from the navy The army air
corps is planning to build the largest free balloon
constructed for flight to be made next sum-
mer. 1t will have capacity of 100000 cubic feet
nearly half the size of the big drigible the Macon
It will be five times the size Of the balloon used last
summer by Lieutenant Commander T. G. w. Settle
of the navy and Major Chester L. Fordney Of the
marine corps
Last November they reached height OF 6l,25T
feet setting what was then a world record.
The army ba,oon Will be manned by Captain
Albert W.-SteYens and Major William Kepner They
hope to reach height Of fifteen miles or more.

At Ladoga, they halted to get
married. At Charlottesville, they
paused to celebrate the wedding
with a luncheon. They were on
time for the game, although
neither admits remembering much
about it.
The schemers decided to keep
things quiet for a while, but the
Danville weekly paper published
the license notice the following
Saturday. The Danville weekly
had more circulation than they
had imagined. Every one of their
friends and acquaintance claimed
to have read the license notice.
That ended that secret.
Mr. and Mrs. Denny, by the
way, have one son. His name is
Christopher and he is twenty-one
months old. Don't ask George
about him. For George will bore
you to death telling about his
infant. Some fathers are that
way, you know.
In the middle of last year,
George joined The Times. He
was placed on the copy desk, told
how many units went into such
and-such a head and was handed
a story.

"Copy-read it," said his boss.
"and head it up"
A few minutes later, George
handed it back, headline Oh and
all.
The boss looked at George out
of the corner of his eye. He
handed him another. Same per-
Torrance. After the fourth Incl
dent of the kind, the boss leaned
over.
Ever work on a desk before?"
he said.
Never" said George.
Hmm" said the boss. That
was all he ever said. But he's
still wondering.
A FTER a few months on the

on the late police shift. He's still
there, but he fills in his mornings
writing features and stories about
the Power and Light company.
He admits that he eyed politics
enviously for while, but decided
he'd rather be a newspaper man,
because it's a quicker way to get
things done"

Suggests Deal With WalmsIey

T RESENT this Walmsley who is said to be 200
\ FOUNDER with an athletic back ground because.
from the stories about the man, it appears that he
should be able to find plenty of people he can lick
without moving in and trying to take my sucker.
I wish Mr. Walmsley would lay off my man and
l appeal to him on the basis of craftsmanship and
equity to recognize my need and my right, but if
that won't persuade him willing to give him
many as half dozen somewhat tougher suckers
that don't think I can handle myself but who
ought to be many Joey Becksts to him. I should
think we could make deal
But Huey's slashing victory over the 110-pound
reporter, armed though the senator with his
loaded stick and protected by his bodyguard is
bothering me. I don't want for my sucker anybody
who can lick anybody anyway and this sudden
versal of form in Huey's case makes me wonder if
he has been taking fighting lessons in secret or
reading one of those mail-order books which tell
at night. I believe such books all presume that the
student will always be armed with a loaded walking
stick. There might be something in this theory
Of course logically you would think that l ought
to get waivers Huey and take the pound re-
porter for my sucker, but would want to know
more about him. These 110-pounders are not re-
liable. I have seen them reach up and bust 190-
Founders right on the and knock them among
the ash trays and empties in hotel room and
man in my position, who never had a sucker of his
very own before, has got to know something about
the candidates record

Russell Boardman, famed trans
Atlantic f1ier, was Georges boss
and while George denies vehem-
emily that he ever was a cowboy,
the fact remains that he rode a
horse and did all cowboys work
except round up cows-and there
were no cows on that ranch.
After leaving the ranch, George
worked on all sorts of odd jobs IN
Arizona and Colorado, coming
back home to indianapolis for
Christmas, 1928. He decided he
liked the hometown hearthstone,
so he got himself a job in furni-
ture factory.
He claims he put chair legs to-
gether.
COR anyway" he explains, Il put
together the things that make
chairs later on"
THEN our Mr.. Denny started
Il to be a park policeman. 1t
was at Pleasant Run, and he was
a ranger, keeping 'em in line"
One day at far end of the
course, he sighted three Negroes
searching for balls. He ordered
them off. All three charged him.
George sized up the situation
magnifcently. He took to his
heels, the trio behind him. Across
a narrow, one-raan bridge he fled.
He pulled up at the end of the
bridge and smiled as the pursu-
ing trio came on, single file, across
the bridge.
Mr.. Denny took firm grip on
the niblick in his hand and took
a few practice swings.
All three stopped in the middle
of the bridge. They eyed George
anxiously. That gentleman meas
ured his swing and took a par
ticularly vicious cut at nothing in
particular. The three on the bridge
conferred. A foursome hove into
view and the trio disappeared,
swiftly.

TT was about that time that
4 George went into the insur-
ance business. Mr.. Denny and
Miss Mary Lois Ketcham, a
charming and witty young lady
of this city, decided to get mar
ried. Parents objected. They
were too young, they were told.
So George and Mary Lois made
a date" to see the Wabash
homecoming football game on
Nov. %, 1929. A couple joined
them. At DanWlle, Ind. the party
halted and Mary Lois and George
procured a license to wed.

Soup to Nuts in Three
States.

TNDIANA'S gross income and
= sales tax has railroad officials
worried.
One of them has appealed to
Clarence E. Jackson, director of
the income tax department, for
solution of the following problem:
A passenger boarded the train
in Illinois and Immediately went
into the diner and ordered a meal.
It was served as the train entered
Indiana. Eating leisurely, Mr..
Passenger didn't get around to
paying for the meal until the train
was in Ohio.
In such a case, does the rail-
road owe a sales tax here?
Mr.. Jackson admitted that he
didn't know either.

Here is Barrymore acting which

Here is character work that
stacks up not only as individual
but as grand acting Of the OLD
school. Barrymore voice has
been magniflcently recorded this
time.
His death is a tragic one as 1t
is suicide when he realizes that
the love life of Janet and Rob-

cleverly indicated. The director
