Today S Science
by DAVID DIETZ.

XXT1TH the choice of DR.. Edward R. Weidlein as
w preSident-eect the American Chemical So
ciety has called one of Americas most far-sghted
scientists to the task of shaping its policies DR..
Weidlein, who is director of the Mellon Institute
of Industrial Research of Pittsburgh, will serve
president-elect during 1886 and assume the office
of president in 1887
DR.. Weidlein sees the future safety and pros
perity OF the United States in the wise and active
prosecution of scientific researches While he adj
mts that the invention of new machine or process
may cut down the number of men needed to do a
particular job he points out that the advance
OF science means more jobs instead of fewer jobs
in the end. This is because science creates whole
new industries.
THIS has been the whole philosophy behind the
Il activities OF the Mellon Institute where during
the most diScouraging days of the depression $50
scientists were kept busy working on more than so
projects.
Scientific research has progressed beyond the
point where 1t is chiefly concerned with the me-
chanical side of industry and the development of
1abor-saving machinery" Dr. WeiGlein told me on
my last visit to Mellon Institute. The chief con-
of scientific research today is the creation of
new industries, new products and new uses for old
products"

Your Health
BY DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN-

TT is difficult enough for the average persons
Il stomach to digest the fats Of the foods that
eaten, necessary as they are but sometimes poor
cooking can make such digestion difficult.
Of course, you needn't be reminded that taking
too much fat will digestive disturbance Foods
that excessively fat stay longer in the stomach
than do those which not so fat.
When foods cooked in fat, the fat forms a
coating other foods and thus delays action on
these substances of the fermens and engines which
are necessary to digestion
On top of all this, if fats overheated in cook
ing substances develop that may irritate the lining
of the stomach and of the nteStineS. Diettians
of the cook who does not know how to prepare or
use fats properly.
1t is safe to say that as many digestive troubles
caused by bad cooking as by improper foods
The most easily dgeSted fat next to that of eggs,
is that Of milk This is because the fat in milk is
pended state. In addition, milk fat generally
tains more vitamin than any other common food
fat.
A MONG the common food fats are those of but
ter, oeomragarine, lard cottonseed, and other
vegetable oils.
Butter provides most vtamin A from natural
in diets Certain fish liver oils as those of
halibut or cod, especially rich in vtamin A and
far richer in vltann D than any natural food sub
stance.
Nevertheless nutritional authorities are convinced
that the Vtamin D in butter is factor of real i'm
portance for ordinary health
Simply because of these facts nutritional author
tiles are likely to look aSkance at any attempt to
substitute artificial substances for the natural fats
which have been mentioned
1t is interesting to know that the fat of beef con-
tainS fair amount of vitamn A. although it does
not provide significant amounts of B, C and D.

THERE is something to be
II said for the proposition that
the free spending of money helps
trade and hence works for general
prosperity. Most health resorts
live, to a considerable extent, on
the money spent by outsiders who
frequent the resort and who bring
their money with them. 1t would
not stimulate business at a Ger
man Spa, for example, if the
money spent by the visitors had
been obtained by collecting it first
from the people of the town
through a sales tax or any other
form of taxation!
And herein lies the fatal de-
feet in the Townsend plan. 1t
takes away from all the people
Gncluding the Townsend pen
sioners) over half their income,
and thus makes it impossible for
the 90 per cent of the people not
in the Townsend plan to spend
any money!
If good DR.. Townsend, the
apostle of this faith, could get
the Is billions (plus expenses
from some outside source-per-
haps the planet Mars-and hand
it out to the 101a million 60-year-
olds to spend, his faith would be
justified by his works. But there
is no way to get the 25 billions, ex-
cept to take it away from the in
comes arising from wages, salaries
and interest on investments. Main
ly, it would come from those liv-
ing on wages and salaries-la-
borers, clerks, college professors,
school teachers and all who earn
their livelihood by service in one
form or another.

on a profound fallacy-tile as
sumption that by taking billions
away from all the people and Civ
ing it a small minority to spend
we can bring in prosperity. 1t is
something like another theory with
which we are now familiar-to
bring in prosperity by going into
debt
Townsendism is a sincere re-
ligion on the part of those who
practice it. But sincerity is only
one quality which a religion must
have. 1t must not only feel, it
must think straight. Neither re-
ligion nor economics can endure
on a false foundation.
The politicians who are flirt-
ing with the Townsend plan are
playing with fire.

United States military reserva-
lions, the famous Preside and
Fort Baker, parts Of the harbor
defense plan.
The problem of keeping the
Preside in condition for it's func-
tions as headquarters of the Ninth
Corps area was solved by a sue
cession of grade separations en-
abling traffic to approach the
bridge without interfering with
Preside activities.
THE financial challenge was
u met by organizing San Fran
cisco County and five Redwood
Empire counties into a Golden
Gate Bridge District, authorized
by law to build and operate toll
bridge. After small tax assess
ments to pay preliminary costs, a
100000 bond issue was sold,
and the bridge cost held within
that figure.
Both Army and Navy authori-
ties have been satisfied that the
bridge is so built that even its
destruction by an invading force
would not cripple the Army posts
nor would its wreckage bottle up
the harbor to stop access to the
navy yard facilities within.
The lighthouse and reduction
In ferry traffic will both be navi-
cation aids, and mobility of the
military forces will be increased,
an important item in national
defense.
The catwalks now stretch across
the Golden Gate, and steelwork-
ers skip back and forth as the
job of cable-spinning takes the
strands of wire the length of the
bridge in thousands of trips.
Traffic should begin to flow in the
spring of 1887.
Slowly and steadily rises a struc-
ture breath-t taking in its bold ap-
plication of advanced engineering
to architectural beauty, creating a
bridge attuned in design, form,
and even color to its unique loca-
ton.

The Townsend plan would be-

away half of his $4,000.
1t is at this point that the
prophet of the Townsend religion
introduces his chief article of
faith. Under the terms of the
plan every 60-year-old must spend
the entire 5000 by the end of the
month in which he receives it. For
example, the 5000 received Jan. /

Charles A. Beard
Is Appointed to
Commission

Scripps-Hotoard Newspaper AHiunc
WASHINGTON, Dec. %.
President Roosevelt's ap-
pointment of the acted
historian, Charles A. Beard,
to the commission in charge
of the sesquicentennial cele-
bration of the Constitution
in 1887 met with approval
of liberals today but some
what dismayed conserva-
tives.
Prof. Boards concept of
the Constitution is that it is
a dynamic instrument of
government which can be
made to meet the needs of
modern times, as opposed to
the static ancestral master
piece apostrophized by
James M. Beck and other
Liberty League lawyers.
An inkling of Prof.
Boards attitude toward the
Constitution was contained
in a recent article by him
in the Virginia Quarterly
Review.
There he declared that
the old conception of states
rights" is forever outmoded
and warned that the
United States can not go
back to 1923 or 1889 any
more than a grandfather
can recover his boyhood."
