WITH the opening of the Hayden Planetarium
w at the American Museum of Natural His
tory, New York will join the select group of Amer
lean cities fortunate enough to possess planetar-
iums.
First came Chicago where the generosity of Max
Adler built the Adler Planetarium the lake front
as part of the splendid group which includes the
Field Museum and the Shedd Aquarium. When Chi
cago held its worlds fair, the planetarium was
fenced into the fairgrounds and for many visitors
proved the most spectacular part of the fair.
The Adler Planetarium was followed by the
Fels Planetarium at the Franklin Institute. Pha-
dephla. and more recently by the Griffith Planetar-
ium, Los Angeles.
The Hayden Planetarium will open on Oct.
with eight shows a day weekdays and five on
Sundays. Two of the weekday shows will be
cluSively for school children and the present plan
is to show the planetarum to 100000 school chill
dren year free of charge.

motions. The aspect of the heavens thousand
years ago or a thousand years hence can be shown
IN the space of few minutes.
A planetarium is a glorious device and hour
spent IN one is a thrilling and exciting experience
But it is an odd commentary upon human nature
that many persons who have travelled long distances
to visit the Chicago or Philadelphia planetariums
had never previously spent any time studying the
heavens themselves.
The planetarium car teach nothing which can
not be learned from the study of the sky itself and
TO regard it more wonderful than the heavens
themselves Is to say that motion picture of Niagara
Falls is superior to the falls themselves.
ONCE you have learned the motions of the
~ planets make it habit to follow the real plan
cts in the real sky. Note, for example. that Venus
which dominated the evening sky all summer has
disappeared from view. In another month, you will
find the planet has become the morning star shin
ing in the east before sunrise
Note, also, that Jupiter and Mars, whose positions
were commanding in the summer heavens are slip
ping from view. Mars is inconSpicuouS OBJ

Jupiter likewise is lower in the sky and sets early.
But Saturn, which came over the eastern horizon
in the course of the summer dominates the
evening sky.

Lindbergh baby there is who doubts that he will
walk that ast mile without having added word to what
is left of the kidnapping mystery.
Each morning since last Feb. 16, when guards

his calendar.
He does this impassivey enough. Calmly too, he
has torn off the leaves of spent MONTHS until there
only few chapters left in his book of tme-Septe
ber October, November, December. Or will there be
December? Hauptmann doesn't to worry about it.
He says good morning to his guards, and sometimes
asks what kind of day it will be. He hated the pitiless
heat that beat down the little brick death house
in the prison yard
He dresses in blue denim trousers blue cotton shirt

Efforts to free Mooney will be
renewed tomorrow in the San
Francisco Hall of Justice In a
hearing directed by the State Su-
preme Court. The issue this time
is MONEYS charge that the tes-
tinlony on which he was convicted
and sentenced to death was per-
jured and that prosecuting au-
thorities knew their witnesses
were lying.
If he can prove that contention
he will go free.
Mooney will be given a temper
airy respite from the daily task of
peeling potatoes in San Quentin
prison during the new fight for
his liberty. He will be brought
secretly from the gray stone bas-
tile on San Francisco Bay to the
city-county prison in downtown
San Francisco, where he will be
held until the arguments are COM
pleted
1t will be Moneys second trip
from the prison since his convic-
ton.
Originally sentenced to die,
Mooney is serving life sentence.

TTERE is what it is like: Along
L l. one wall is wide corridor
with a door and there is an opaque
skylight. Against the other wall
are two tiers of cells, nine in
each tier.
They are extra large cells, twelve
feet square. Between each is a
solid partition. None has a win
dow.
New Jersey considers its death
house escape proof. In 1919
condemned man did succeed in
climbing through the skylight,
but was still within the prison
and Immediately was recaptured.
Extra guards are said to have
been assigned to watch Haupt-
mann, but Col. Kimberling de-
clines to discuss any special Secur-
ity measures.
One security measure seems to
have been assigning Hauptmann
to Cell 9 at the end of the row
in the lower tier. Thus it is farth-
est from the main entrance from
the prison yard, but right next to
the gray door that leads to the
death chamber.
For Hauptmann, the "last mile"
would be a matter of only about
10 PAGES.

Three other men were executed
in March-George de Stefano,
Michael Mule and Connie Scar
pone. The terror of two of them
during preceding days unnerved
even veteran guards, but appar-
emily did not affect Hauptmann.
When they passed him he called
out a single admonition Pray TO

According to Col. Kimberling,
Hauptmann's neighborS in the
death house now are William
Henry Jones, a Negro; a Jewish
inmate named Zied, and an Ital-
ian, Favorito. The latter recently
received a last-minute reprieve,
and appeals are pending in the
cases of the other two.

Furthermore, the issue they
were fighting over was not con-
fined to them but extended right
through the Cabinet. Mr.. Hop
kinS and Mr.. IckeS were the
duelists picked for public exhibit
ton. But what the public doesn't
know is that other New Dealers
secretly felt just as keenly about
it.
The battle started back around
Thanksgiving last year. when Mr..
Roosevelt was at Warm Springs.
At that time, Mr.. Ickes and DR..
ReXford c. TugWell spent all of
one afternoon arguing with him.
What they both commended was:
Spend large amounts of money
through big building program,
but spend it through private in
dustry. This starts heavy indus

CWA projects send no orders to
the steel mills.
But the President was adamant.
He claimed PWA-that is, heavy
conStruction-waS too slow. He
wanted lot of money spent i'm
mediately, wanted people taken
off relief rolls. felt that the gov
eminent directly should supervise
the spending.
II AFTER the same argument was
~ brought back to Washington.
At that time it was a difference
not between Mr.. Ickes and Mr..
Hopkins, but between the Presi-
dent and his chief advisers. Mr..
Hopkins took no sides.
Mariner Eccles, Federal Re-
serve Board governor, was hard
est-hitting supporter of Mr. IckeS.
He wanted to spend 10 billions in
stead of four-but through pri-
vate industry. Most of the Inner
circle" favored the IckeS plan
except one man. He was young
Henry Morgenthau Jr., Secretary
Of the Treasury.

about spending it,"
He threw his weight with the
President. Thus the job Of re-
viving CWA. cloaked under the
Understanding title of Works.

A Ii this was not definitely de-
N cided until the time Con-
greSS appropriated the money.
Criticism for this delay was
heaped undeServedly on Mr.. Hop
kin'S head. and he, Smarting I'M
der the shower of vitriol. leaped
at the job.
Harry made his plans through
the simple process of long divi-
sion. He had 3,500,000 unemployed
to put TO work, and he had $4,000
600 to spend. So he divided the
first into the second and got S1140,
which he figured was the approx
made amount of money he could
pay each man a year.
But then the President Clipped
of a large chunk of money for
Rex Tugwell'S Rural Resettlement.
and another chunk for Rural
Electrification. which brought Mr..
Hopkins annual mAn-wage down
to about $500.
Later S50.OOO,000 more came off
for the Youth Administration. by
which time poor Harry was Won

We Don't Appreciate

THE penniess inventor who has in some way or
L other been euchred out of any return on his dis
cOvery is by no means wholly hctional figure But
I am waving such cases. Leaving gross fraud out
of the picture, it is still true that with few excep-
tons, society is niggardly with the men who
actually do things, the who make things through
hand and BRAIN and that it reserves its grand prizes
for those who merely manipulate money.
In any debate of this sort the name Of Henry
Ford would be brought up to disprove the implied
argument of The Times. But if I may come in to
lend my fragile aid to that newspaper I might point
only that there is but single Ford. but the
further fact that even Henry Ford has not achieved
complete security in the duel between the makers
and the takers.
FOrdS own spokesman have said at times that
they feared the invasion of the bankers Specifically
the argument was raised that the tax plan had
moved-or at any rate, moving-n direction
which would turn the Ford plants over to Wall
Street.

ReUiSing Story of Success

TN school little children taught that in land
i of equal opportunity a poor boy can become
another Ford or Edison. Those generally the
names useo to cOnjure with. But some pupil with
even rudimentary conception of betting odds might
well reply Teacher, why do you try to steer us or
on such terrific long shots? Why don't you tell us
the life story of H c. HopsOn?'
And if in that same school John is working at
home on airplane models and Ned is lending nickels
to his classmates, to be paid back in dimes on

eyed about the scaling of the rewards by which We

HIS was where the row with
Il Mr.. Ickes really began to get
hot.
Originally, Mr.. IckeS was sup
posed to have a certain amount of
the four billions-in fact, he was
to spend all amounts above 5000.
Imagine his delight, therefore,
when he found friend Hopkins
resorting to the cute trick of di-
viding the cost of his projects into
multipleS of $4,000. For instance,
SO many miles Of road would be
built in Colorado at $4,000 a mile.
the total running into several
hundred thousand.
Also, Mr.. Roosevelt gave Mr..
Hopkins the right to veto Mr..
IckeS' projects. So, Mr.. Hopkins
began vetoing Mr. Ickes' projects
right and left. He turned down
a PWA schoolhouse for Palermo,
N. D., while neighboring areas
were given bird sanctuary and a
golf links under his own WPA.
In Arkansas, Mr.. Hopkins We
toed Mr.. Ickes' PWA projects for
sewage and water works for
Hughes, Mt. View, Hartford,
Bearden. LuXora and DierkS, in
stead gave them sewage systems
under his own WPA. Thus the
towns will have the pipes, but no
water to flush them.
All this was justified on the
basis of using more men and less
materials.
DUT now Hopkins went in for
- activity's sake. His men be-
gan combing each state looking
for projects, bidding against Ickes'
PWA. To do this he amaSSed a
staff of $4,000, the most elephan-
tine and tOpheavy in the govern
ment.
And finally he began going in
even for heavy projects, definitely
of the PWA type. where material
is more expensive than labor.
Naturally some cities were
pleased But thousands of others,
whose PWA projects got the Harry
Hopkins veto, were not. Mr.. Ickes'
men had gone to great pains to let
the country know just who had
killed them.
Result: Newspapers through
out the country blazed with head
lines reading:
Hopkins Throws Out Veterans

only too glad to have his row with

Your Health
by DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN-

THE peculiar, racking headaches called mgrafne
i usually affect persons whose families have been
susceptible to these Affections, and they more
likely to strike women than men,
Generally, the attacks sudden and follow a
period of nervous strain. BY nervous strain mean
emotional excitement such arises during quar-
rel Sometimes, it is a result of eyestrain which
comes after long periods of reading, especially in
bad light.
Nervous strain occurs also as a result Of insufi-
cient Sleep digestive disturbance overeating, over
drinking, or 0verndulgence of any kind 1t is par
ticularly associated with too much concentration and
work.
This overstrain, however, is not the cause of the
migraine it is more like the trigger that sets off
the headache.
USUALLY these attacks begin in childhood or
- youth, but there have been cases in which they
came on after 80 years of age. sometimes migraine
suddenly disappears after 40 or so years Of age.
Migraine differs from ordinary headache in that
the person who has it usually has first feeling Of
fatigue or depression, and is dizzy. Others merely
say that their vision becomes blurred.
The pain usually begins around eye and
then spreads various parts Of the head, but
with many the trouble begins in the back of the
head Any slight noise. any flash Of light or any
mental effort may make the migraine worse.
MANY years ago French doctor observed that
WI sick headaches may be associated with the
eating of some particular food substance as is the
case with asthma, skin eruptions, and hay fever.
Since then sensitvities to certain foods have been
found rather constantly associated with the onset
Of migraine.
The foods usually associated with these sick
headaches are the same that are usually associated
with digestive disturbances. Those which lead are
chocolate, onions cabbage, cucumbers apples, pork,
and melons If you have migraine headaches and
eating these foods, you should avoid them in your
diet.
