Human Side of the News = By Edwin c.. Hill

T. E. Powers

nault Pelterie, well-known phys
icist, is devoting his life to rock
cts. In Czechoslovakia, it is
Ludvik Ocenasck, also an en-
gineer and physicist. In all
countries they are strangely &C.
cupied with this idea Of hurting
hot iron into the face of an
cient and immutable gravity.
Why?
ANOTHER REASON
The French think they have
an answer which has nothing to
do with the stratosphere. A few
months ago, there was a big
scare in France about the Ger
mans having built rocket pits
close to the border. There were
sensational newspaper articles
about the Germans being all set
to direct an explosive-carrying
rocket at any spot in France,
and land it there. There seemed
to be a touch of brain fever in
all this. unquiet memories, no
doubt, Il the Kaiser's Big Ber-
tina nicking off a cornice of the
Madeleine - but that started
France working on rockets, too,
and now they're all at it. There
is, of course, the plausible as
sumption that if the scientists
do what they hope to do with
rockets the missiles would be
formidable in warfare. But our
own American Rocket Society
seems entirely pacific.
A rocket big enough to leap
clear of the gravitational pull
would have to be just about as
big and heavy as a first-class
battleship. That being true, it
might be good idea to soak
Mars or Jupiter With a thing
like that, and then start an
interplanetary war scare. That
would stir up world patriotism
and England, Italy and Ethiopia
would get together with the rest
of us under a world flag and
we would at last have universal
peace.

pelling something or other out
through that choking prison
wall of gravity.
While Mars and the moon
probably haven't heard about it,
it is pretty serious business, all

been going on, in many coun-
tries, for the last six or eight
years. The American Rocket So

rector of the physical laboratory
of Clark University and DR.. H.
Sheldon, head of the department
of physics at Wash n gton
Square College, of New York
University. J. Edward Penray,
president of the society, is an
engineer and a writer on scien-
tific subjects.
ROCKET PROPULSION
The newspapers give the scien-
fists a little the worst of it in
always getting the Jules Verne
stuff in the headlines. The moon
trip is just as an added starter,
just a string of formulas and
calculus, but shooting a rocket
across the moon and back are
both part of the same theoretical
picture, and if there was an i'm.
portantsr sreason for doing so, and
we didn't mind burning up a
few million dollars we could
plug the man in the moon right
in the brisket with a thousand
tons of hot metal-we'd have
to use some such tonnage to get
clear of gravity.
But the scientists are concen.
trating on Immediately practl-
cable and sensible aspects Of
rocket propulsion. just now the
physicists are primarily con-
cerned in using their rockets to
explore the stratosphere.

and, once they solve the problem
of equalization of inner and
outer air pressure, they ought
to be able to rise to a tremen-
dous height and pretty nearly
coast across the ocean at unbe-
lievable speed.
Rockets are expected to
answer many problems of re-
sistance and trajectory in this
semi-vacuum, which this gene
ration has been the first to in
wade. Furthermore, the scien.
lists are contriving instrument

parachutes, automatically to re-

Once Overs
Give Employment

~~NAS
Those who have steady en-
ployment should feel that they
are in duty bound to distribute
some of their incomes in paying
for those services which the un.
employed are able to give.
Often little jobs about the
house and property might be
done by the owner or the renter.
But if you are one of those
who has a position and a regu-
lar salary, why not pay some
one to do these odd jobs?
In that way a deserving per-
son may be benefited, and you
are helping to distribute pros
perity.
Isn't it better to give employ
ment than to donate charity?
There are some people who
are naturally lazy and shiftleSS.
But most folks would rather
work than gather aims.
There is not enough distribu-
ton of small jobs.
If there were a greater move
ment that way, more idle money
would be put into circulation.
It is true that those who are
working should also save for a
rainy day.
But the savings can be made
by cutting out unnecessary ex-
penditure for things Of no real
value.

The Greatest Show On Earth
By John Snure, T.

dence is at the town of Nc
Lean, Va.
From this same town of Nc
Lean, Mr.. Leigh once issued a
booklet entitled New Deal or
Constitution"
1t seems that a that time he
had some views which were like
those of Senator Glass, at vari-
ance with the present Admins
tration.
AS a matter of fact, Mr.. Leigh
was once director general of the
national oratorical contest on
the Constitution.
In discussing the Constitution
in his booklet, Mr.. Leigh said:
"The lack of an adequate
government had brought about
a condition bordering upon
anarchy, a condition in which
all the traits of character for
which the people had been dis
tinguiShed, such as reliability,
honesty, and industry, were sub:
merged.
Then came the revulSiOn of
feeling against such conditions,
and the general determination
tc n"t an end to them. That
determination finally brought
about the framing of the Con-
StitutiOn."
Later on. speaking of the
same document, Leigh said:

the business of a single rip roar

The pressure of the inert and
non-inflammab nitrogen
pushes the oxygen and gasoline
up into the head where they ex-
plode. There are a number of
nozzles here, through which the
explosion gases are elected, and
the whole contrivance is kicked
backwards and upwards by the
recoil.

One method of assault may
be to effect, in the forms OF
the Constitution. alterations
Which tDould impair the energy
of the system, and thus to
undermine whdt cannot be d.
Tectly oUerthroWn.
From the FGreWeH Address,
One hundred and thirty
nine years ago, come the seven
teenth of next September,
George Washington predicted
the sinister plan of campaign
which the radicals at both ends
of Constitution Avenue have
adopted in the sapping expedi-
ton they are organizing to
Europeanize the American sys-
tenn of government.
These radicals have already
started a stumping tour of the
country for the purpose of agi-
tating alterations" in the form
of constitutional amendments
which they intend shall impair
the energy of the system" that
we call the American system.
These sappers seek thus to
undermine what cannot be di-
rectly overthrown," namely the
American system of government
established by the Constitution.
SUNDRY SCHEMES
With a view to confusing the
plain people of this country and
concealing from them the revo-
lutionary objective of this sap
ping expedition, these radicals
have proposed a new amend
ment to the Constitution al
most every week since the Su-
preme Court of the United
States in May last handed
down those three unanimous
decisions which gave welcome
assurance to the American
people that "the government
at Washington still lives"
This series of drastic amend
ments includes various and SUM-
dry schemes to cut the heart
out Of the Constitution, put a
ball and chain upon every mem
ber of the Supreme Court, and
establish in Congress an alien
form of despotism that can in
the twinkling of an eye abdi-
cate in favor of an alien form
of dictatorship in the White
House.
Secretary Wallace has for
months been going up and down
the country threatening the
people with all sorts of "altera-
tions" in the Constitution which
he seems to think they must &C.
cept if they would safeguard
their right to ''life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness.
Undersecretary TugWell has
been pontificating for nearly a
year about the constitutional
changes that must be compelled
before the blessings of "the
more abundant life" can be
bestowed.
