The Indiana House of Representatives today voted to

By a vote of 66 to 20, the lower house approved the
amendment adopted by Congress in 1924 and now accepted by

concurrence is expected.
The Senate Committee on Constitutional Revision has
recommended ratification and Democratic leaders predict the
upper house will vote approval by a substantial majority.
Shouting charges that the amendment was written by
Communists and is a Russian plot to natonaEze the youth

Users to Universal Pipe
Line Company.

A list of stockholders and records
of the board of directors of the Cit
liens Gas Co. will be subpenaed to-
day by the legislative committee in
vestigating Marion County gas OPP
eratiOnS.
The committee will ask officers of
the company who have those books
in their possession to appear before
it at 8 tomorrow.
The committee also will ask Off
Gals of the Columbia Gas and Elec-
trio Corp, described by one witness
as the only possible company that
could furnish Indianapolis with nat
ural gas, to appear and testify.
Decision to issue these subpenas
followed testimony today of Charles
E. CARL Jr., managing editor of The
Indianapolis Times, and yesterday
of Gilbert Wagner, attorney for the
minority stockholders of the Mis-
souri-Kansas Pipe Line Corp.
Likely Backers Named
MI. CARL told the committee that
an extensive and intensive investi-
cation by The Indianapolis Times
into finance houses in Chicago, In
diana, Ohio and New York had re-
vealed the Universal Pipe Line Co.
and probably Frank A. Vanderlip
ST., New York fnancier, as the most
likely hackers of Users Gas Co.
The users Gas Co.'S persistent at
tempt to get a franchise to sell
natural gas in Marion County at a
rate quoted in advance at about half
the current rate for artificial gas,
precipitated the entire gas investi-
cation here.
Clinton H. Givan, attorney for the
Users, Mr.. CARL said, would not con-
firm or deny that Universal backed
his company. No officer or direc-
tor of Users ever has publicly iden-
titled its hackers.
Investigation Results Barred
Mr. CARL read into the record re-
ports of interviews Times represent
atives had with Frank Vanderlip Jr.,
speaking for his father, in New York,
in which Mr.. Vanderlip said his
father had been interested, though
not financially involved, a year ago
in Universal.

declared.
Communism is back Of this
whole thing" Rep. Evans shouted,
"it was written by four Communists
women who never had any children.
How any mother or e~xpectant moth
er can support a measure of this
sort which will chain the youth of
this land is beyond me.
If this is passed, the New Eng
land farm boy can't pick blue
berries on the hill, the city boy
can't sell papers and even the COL
lege youth would be prohibited from
working his way through school,"
the minority floor leader charged.
Sturm Leads Fight for Bill
Rep. Paul B. Sturm Cd, Dana),
chairman of the House Labor Com
mittee, led advocates of approving
the amendment in an imprisoned
speech in which he denounced out
of-state industry for using low-paid
child labor in competition with In
diana adults.
Action of the Representatives
came following the filing yesterday
in the House of a motion by Rep.
Fred G. Thompson, Democratic
floor leader, to reconsider previous
action making the resolution a spe-
cial order at 11:15 tomorrow.
Immediate passage of the ratifica-
ton bill was decided upon yesterday
as Representatives began receiving
an avalanche of kilograms, letters
and circulars urging a favorable
vote to make Indiana the Z3rd state
to approve the amendment.
Legion, Times Active in Fight
The galleries were jammed with
representatives of the American
Legion and women's groups which
have st%eadfastly upheld the ratii-
cation. They carefully took down
the names of those legislators who
voted in opposition to the bill.
The galleries burst into wild APP
plause when Rep. Clyde Jordan (R.,
South Bend, who, with five others.
bolted his party, explained that he
favored ratification on behalf of the
5 10000 children who are killed or
manned yearly in hazardous occupa-
tons"
The American Legion and The IN
.dianapolis Times Monday informed
supporters of the amendment that
the fate of the bill was in doubt as
a result of a Democratic caucus de-
cision not to bind party members.
Voters favoring the adjustment
Of child labor were urged to write or
telegraph their Representatives at
once. =
Rep. Evans said when the amend
ment was first written it would nave
children from working at
hazardous labor.
Nov the word child has been
out and the word laoor'
has been substituted for hazardous
employment he declared.

Today S Science
BY DAVID DIETZ-

II EXPERIMENTS in the newest field of physical
L research have yielded spectacular and par
ticularly convincing proof of the Elnsteln theory
Thus 1885 begins with the theory of relatively more
firmly entrenched than ever.
Every hunter is familiar with the recoil of a gun
When he pulls the trigger. the bullet flies out of the
nuzzle of the gun and at the same instant the
gun kicks" back against his shoulder
According to one portion Of the relatively theory
enunciated by Prof. Albert EinSten in 1905, when
light is radiated from atom it leaves suddenly
in the form of a compact bullet of light. the So
called quantum. The theory requires further that
the atom recOil when the quantum is emitted, pre-
cisely as gun recoils when the bullet leaves it.
That recoil has now been measured by Prof R.
Frsch of Germany, who finds 1t agrees with tne
theoretical value for it by Prof EinStein in his
theory. Prof. Frisch made his discovery working
in the field of molecular rays. a field so new that
practically everything of Importance in 1t has been
done since 1881.
II EFT us suppose that have a quantity OF gas
l. inclosed in vessel The molecules are in con-
tinuouS motion moving in all directions with various
speeds. Collisions between molecules are constantly
occurring.
molecular ray is a stream of molecules con-
fined to a narrow angle and moving in one drec-
tion having low density, that is having so few
molecules present that there collisions. The
term is also applied to stream Of neutral or I'M
electrified atoms under the same circumstances.
1t is also possible. by the use of toothed wheels
r vibrating Sits to limit the molecular ray to par
icles which all have the same speed, but this re-
ouces Stin further the intensity of the ray.
AS the ray becomes more and more homogeneous
both as TO the direction and the speed of the par
ticles the behavior of the ray comes and more
to parallel the behavior Of the individual particle
Consequently. the molecular ray. in the hands of
skilled experimenter, is tool Of the highest value
making it possible to determine many things about
the behavior Of molecules and atoms which not
be gotten at by any other means.
exrerirneufS Prof. FriSch made use of
i beam or raw of sodium atoms. This was illum-
mated strongly from side only by light of the
same wave length as that of one of the strongest
spectral lines of sodium. This wave length, there
fore is one which the sodium atoms will absorb and
re-radiate Recol of the should occur in both
cases on the basis of the Einstein theory.
II such recon took place, the beam should be dis
placed sideways and broadened. Prof. Frisch found
that this took place. the displacement being the
amount required under the circumstances By the
Einstein theory.

Your Health

FARMERS who handle food particularly milk and
l. the flesh of animals and all workers in slaughter
houses ought to be particularly of the disease
called undulant fever 1t gets its name from the
fact that the fever goes up ana down in waves.
Once it called Malta fever because it
first definitely described by a British army officer
stationed in Malta; that was in 1861
Investigators found that the Island of Malta
goats we're responsible for spread of the disease
through infection of their milk
The first cases began to appear among American
soldiers in the southwestern portion Of the United
States around 1904 and 1905 At first the malady
thought to be typhoid fever because the disease
resembied that condition. Again it was discovered
that the were associated with the drinking Of
goats milk.
A the same time investigators were studying an
IA unusual condition in cattle, called contagious
abortion. Around 1913 Miss Alice Evans Of the
United States Public Health Service found that the
same germ responsible for Malta fever.
Then it was found that cattle also transmitted
this germ to human beings and also that the flesh
of the pig might be responsible.
Now it is rather well established that Malta fever,
undulant fever, may develop in human beings in
two ways: First, through getting the germ into the
body with such infected dairy products milk,
cream, butter, or cheese; second, through direct
handling of livestock
When a person gets undulant fever, the condi-
ton develops usually from u to Il days after he
has been exposed to the germ. It begins like most
infectious conditions, with feeling of sickness,
chilllness, and some fever later on affecting the
body generally.
ONCE the condition is not common it is frequent-
~ ly diagnosed as some other Infection such as
typhoid fever influenza tuberculosis or malaria
and sometimes even appendicitis Inflammation
of the gall bladder In other cases there
pected infections of the kidney, the heart or the
bladder.
There are, however, certain definite ways of prov
ing whether the disease is undulant fever. The one
Of greatest value is the blood test.

prevent disease of this kind We must prevent con-
tact by human beings with the germs of the disease
they in infected meat ami in infected dairy
products.
If milk is thoroughly pasteurized under controlled
conditions the germ Of undulant fever is destroyed.

Anew Castle is in the heart of the English min

spung up a means Of expressing the idea that
