New Murillo Believed Found.

After lying for 80 years in the Gel
lar of st. Johns Church, Southwark,
picture of st. John sur
rounded by angels has been found by
the rector, the Rev. A. M. Cazalet.
On being cleaned and restored, the
signature on it appeared to be that
of the Spanish master, Murillo. The
picture will be submitted to expert
examination, and II 1t proves to be

It is far more horrible than the

Stallings in collaboration with
the same publisher. For the
war book showed only blood

would say, Here is life as is,

A Bill to Wreck Aviation

shining example Of New Deal legislation consider the
socaed Mcclellan bill before Congress- entitled, AN Act to
Authorize the Extension of the Air Mail Service
The title should be- IAN Act to DESTROY the Air
Mail Service
The bill provides that company have air mail
contract if any employee officer director IS
paid than $1750O year for full time.
Also that person employed by a company can obtain
compensation from any other company which would make his
total pay than $17,500 year.
These provisions specifically designed not only to
BLOCK the development of aviation but to SMASH what is
left of the aviation industry.
Many aeronaucal engineers and other experts worth
two three times $17500 year to their companies.
# their salaries limited to this figure they will quit
their employment and go into fields where they GET what
they EARN
There old saying that you haze done man
injury you hate him thereafter, because the sight of
him reminds you of your oWn risdoing.
In view Of the sabotage Of the air lines by Postmaster
era Farley and other politicians that saying appears to be
point here.
Certainly the is ideally framed to halt the scien
tc progress of aviation and to complete the wreckng Of
the companies.

a stroke of General WinShip
the presidential pen. 1t could
have been averted in the begin
ming by the same medium. 1t
has been allowed to drag on I'M
til the bitter quarrel in the Vir-
gin Islands was transferred to
the Federal City and the PreSi-
dent found himself under the
necessity of rebuking a cabinet
officer and appealing to the Sen
ate leaders to suspend the Sen
ate's Investigation until he could
clean up the situation by a
series of removals.
In justice, however, to Mr..
Roosevelt. it ought to be re-
membered that the first mis-
take in dealing with the Virgin
Islands was made by his pre-
decessor, Mr.. Hoover.
The government Of these
islands had been administered
since their acquisition, by the
Navy Department. AS is the
habit of the Navy they were
honestly administered. But
the needs of the islands were
not in the realm OF administra-
ton. What the islands lacked
was a legislative policy better
suited to their development.
HOOVER YIELDS
At that time, a group of
League of Nations busybodies
in this country, aided by their
allies at Geneva, undertook to
divorce these islands from the
supervision of the Navy Depart
ment. They got the ear of Mr..
Hoover, himself an advocate of
American entrance into the
League and no friend of the
American Navy.
So Mr.. Hoover yielded to the
pressure of his League of
Nations friends and obtained
the transfer of the supervision
of the islands from the Navy
Department to the Interior De-
partment.
This was flying in the face
Of history. 1t was disobeying
the lessons of experience. The
Interior Department generally
has been a miserable failure in
the past as the supervisor of
dependent peoples.
Mr.. Hoover then selected a
college professor of elocution-
a League of Nations enthusiast
as the new governor Of the
islands and soon thereafter
trouble started.
When Mr.. Roosevelt entered
the White House, great pressure
was brought to bear upon his
Administration to retain the
Hoover" governor. There was
also pressure for the appoint

Now there MAY be times when such activity on the part

would fall off after shutdown.
If the radiation does not come
from the sun, then it must come
from outer space.
If it comes from outer space,
the most likely place is the
great body of stars in the Milky
Way Galaxy. Observations were
made wher. the most dense parts
of the Milk. Way were over
head, and compared with OBJ
servations made when the thin.
nest parts were overhead.
There was no difference. It
was then concluded that the
radiation must come from all
directions in space, regardless
of stars or galaxies. This was
a poser" and it called for an
entirely new concept.
While scientists were hunting
for this new concept, obSerVa-
tions were reported which indi-
Gated there was less reception
near the Equator than toward
the poles. This Immediately
suggested that earth's magnet
ism eXerted an influence, be-
cause the magnetic lines OF

the Equator. where they are
more and more concentrated
the nearer the approach to the
poles.
Here was a very important
clue. The particles sought the

sity.
RECEPTION DIFFERS
Then it developed that the
reception is weaker in the
Western Hemisphere than in
the Eastern. Earth's magnetism
is. also weaker in the Western
Hemisphere. This checked with
the previous magnetic observa-
lions, which was important.
When the National Geo

vastions are analysed we doubt:

facts. When these are COM
pared with what we now pos
sess. some big news may break
in the world of science.
There is one theory offered
by a well-knoWn astrophySlclst
with which we may amuse our
selves while waiting for the
final solution of the Cosmlc
Ray mystery.
It is offered by the Able
Lemaitre, champion of the idea
that we live in an exploding
universe. His theory is that the
radiations are the last rem
nants of the cosmic disturb
ance which originally created
the Universe. Such a disturb
ance. he reasons. must have
emitted all manner of radia'
tions. One was Cosmic Rays.
What we are receiving today,

that no change occurs at night.

ment of new governor from
among the hungry Democrats
seeking political reward at pub
lie expense for their alleged
services to their party.
The Administration appears
to have straddled the problem
by retaining the Hoover" gov.
ernor, which pleased the League
of Nations group, and then send.
ing as Federal judge a lame
duck Congressman from MiSsis.
Sippi, who was probably less fit
to be a judge than he was to
be a member of Congress. Pre-
Sumably this judge had the in.
dorSement Of Postmaster Gen.
eral Farley, which was enough
to earn him the enmity of the
1ckes-supported governor.
The merits of the quarrel be-
tween the Hoover-IckeS governor
and the Roosevelt-Farley Judge
have yet to be sifted before an
impartial tribunal. But all the
while the prestige of the Amer
lean Government in the Virgin
Islands and throughout the
Caribbean area has suffered
heavily, and the dependent
people of the Virgin Islands have
not been helped by the quarrel.
This is not the first time that
using offices in our insular ter.
ritories and possessions to re.
ward politicians and other self
seeking minoritieS has proved
a costly blunder to this Adj.
miniStration.

PoStmast, General Farlev
supported for governor of Puerto
Rico a candidate so utterly I'm.
qualified for his post that his
administration provoked a vio-
lent protest among the Puerto
Ricans. He finally resigned and
the President sent to San Juan
an able adm illustrator in the
person of Gen. Blanton Winship,
OF Georgia, a retired judge adj
vocate general of the Army. and
aide to Gen. Leonard Wood.
If the President will now
draft a naval officer to restore
an honest and efficient admin
istration in the Virgin Islands,
he will do his best to remedy
the mistake which President
Hoover made in the first place
and the mistake which Presi.
dent Roosevelt made in the
second place.
In the case of Mr.. Hoover, it
should be said that he made
his mistake on his own initia.
tive, whereas Postmaster Gen
eral Farley, Secretary Ickes and
Senator Harrison of Mississippi
appear to share the blame for
President Roosevelt's mistake
in permitting the government
of the Virgin Islands to become
a hiss and byword in the Carib-
bean area.
Surely after this series of
blunderS, future Presidents
should muster the courage to
refuse to yield to the demands
of pork-barrel politicians and in.
ternational busybodies in or
dering the affairs of the gov.
ernments of dependent peoples
under the Flag.
American honor and prestige
have suffered altogether too
much in the past by the fail
ure of the Government at
Washington to uphold its trust
and to refuse to subject these
wards of the American people
to political exploitation.
