pipe before turning in. The door
bell rings.
A lanky farm youth stands on
the porch, oil lantern in hand. He
has walked nearly seven miles to
ask DR.. Dafoe to look at his child,
who has a heavy cold. He is Wor-
ried. He has no car, no horse. He
walked.
The doctor kicks off his romeo
slippers and laces up his heavy
shoes. Yes, of course, he'll go.
Out through the woodhouse,
redolent with new-cut poplar. In
his flashlights glow he opens the
garage door and yard gate. Per-
haps a mile out the main road,
then he turns off on side road
into the brush.
THERE is an appallingly bright
i moon, and the white birches
stand out in the dark spruce
woods. The radio on the doctors
new car is playing as the car
splits the silent night. Of all
things, it plays Lullaby of Broad
way"
Doctor and anxious father feel
the incongruity of the tune. The
doctor snaps off the radio-"Guess
l didn't want to hear that very
much" he says.
Roads better out this way
now" he losses over his shoulder
to the silent farmer. Wasn't like
this when I used to drive out here
in a buggy to see your mother
when she was sick. Used to take
the best of day to drive out
here"
In a clearing now, well off the
road in the bush, you can see a
light burning. Light in country
house in this district at TINS hour
means only one thing--sickness.
The car pulls to halt at the
side of the road, and the short
figure of DR.. Dafoe, with the lanky
lantern-swinging farmer beside
him disappears in the clearing
toward the house. Then they
rear shadows across the lighted
window.
THERE are cries of night
l. things near and far in the
thickets, chirpings and croakings.
But they only emphasize the
lonely stiffness.
Soon shadows pass again across
the lighted window and the doc
tor returns to the car. Thanks,

BANKS TO OBSERVE
SUMMER SCHEDULE
City and County Houses to
Close One Hour Earlier.

Beginning June 10, all Indianap-
oils and Marion County banks and
trust companies will close one hour
earlier on week days except Satur-
day, according to an announcement
made today by Arthur V. Brown,
Indianapolis Clearing House and the
Indiana National Bank president.
William c. Grauel, Merchants Ma
tional Bank cashier and Marion
County Bankers Association presi-
dent, said his organization would
join in the new hours plan. The
closing hours of banks on Saturdays
will not be effected.

the pro-bonuS tactics shows that
o. every step they played into the
hands of the opposition.
To begin with there was no
unity among the bonuseerS. The
American Legion backed the Vim
son bill. The Veterans of For
eign Wars clamored for the Pat
man measure.
Whether the VinSon bill, with
its conservative bord financing
provision. could have been put
through the Senate over the Pres
identS veto is debatable. But it is
significant that Administration
leaders were secretly much re-
lieved when the currency-inf1a-
tionary Patman bill was enacted
instead of its rival measure.
A MOTHER thing that ham,
n pered the bonus cause was
the fact that there we're too many
personal horses being ridden I'M
der its colors.
The currency inflationists used
the issue for their ends. King
fish Huey worked the bonus for
all it was worth in behalf of his
anti administration crusade. His
filibuster to prevent the Senate
from inviting the President to
read his veto message was petty
politics and offended bonusites as
well SIS foes.
And Father Coughlin's antics
did not help. In fact, the radio
priests attack on Senator Bob
Buckley of Ohio cost the bonus
forces a possible vote. Buckley was
wavering on the issue and veter-
ans lobbyists had high hopes Of
winning him over. when Coughlin
upset the applicant by denounc-
ing him in his Toledo speech. Out
of self respect. Buckley couldn't
do anything else but refuse to
yield.
The bonus will be paid before it
is due. But it will be in spite of
its tub-thumping champions in
and out of Congress.

But there is another concep-

Even if the statute itself has
fixed the meaning of fair compe-

bounds of the authority conferred.
What is excessive is not Spo-

Today S Science
by DAVID DIETZ-

DIGGER and better demonstrating is to start at
ID the Round Hill station of Massachusetts, 1nsti-
tute of Technology this summer
The research workers have the Van De Graaf
generator to the point where it develops 1000
900 volts and they are getting ready to hitch the
huge vacuum discharge tube to it.
1t is in this tube that the atom smashing will
take place. The Round Hill research staff has spent
the last year designing and building this tube
Three detectives lie behind the atom smashing
experiment The most immediate is the accumula-
ton of more knowledge about the structure of the
atom and it's behavior. The more remote detectives
are the perfection of methods of turning chem
ica element into another and of releasing atomic
energy for the use of the world
The Van De GRAF generator it will be recalled.
was the invention of DR.. Robert J. Van De GRAF.
1t is based upon the fact centuries Old that fric-
ton develops static electricity Moving silk belts
against which brushes rub are utilized to accumu-
late electricity upon huge metal spheres.
THE present generator with metal spheres so
! large that several men can stand inside their
hollow interiors stands in arship hangar upon
the estate of Col. E. H. r. Green at Round Hill,
Mass.
The giant electrostatic generator has now been
equipped with accurate voltage and current controls
and with vibration eminators, DR.. Karl T. Comp
ton. president of M I. T., says.
One of the difficulties Of getting an electric
charge above 100000 volts is due to the escape at
higher voltage Of miniature bolts of lightning the
IOOl gIToeIS OF Ine airSnlp hangar. IL IS tnOught
that system of shields be worked out which
will permit higher voltages.
However, the present voltage Of 1000 900 volts
exceeds any other source of direct current available
in the world and is adequate for the contemplated
atom smashing experiments, DR.. Compton says.
ATHEN the vacuum discharge tube is placed be-
w tween the huge spheres of the generator all
the current generated by it Will be shot at that
tremendous pressure or voltage through the tube,
concentrating its full effect upon the atoms of ma
terial placed in the tube
Construction Of the tube made possible by
grants from the Research Corp. of New York DR..
Compton states The tube consists Of five identical
units. joined end TO end and sealed TO metal cans
at the two extremities.
To date only one Of these units and the two
metal caps have been constructed, but experiments
at lower voltages will be started with the one unit
while the other four being built.

When the average man is first examined by a
dentist he learns that four five Of his teeth are

dental care and that the annual cost person in
this group is about $500
The remaining rs per cent OF the population
