Psychology
BY DR.. JESSE w. SPROWLS.
Philosophy and Science.

Philosophy and Science.
IF YOU attempt to answer big ques-
tions in small phrases. or If you
try to reduce complexities to simplici-
ties, you are philosopher. You are
doing this all the time. more or less
unconsciously. Philosophy resides in
the household of dreams-down below
the surface of everyday affairs.
Suppose you asked yourself this big
question: How does science evolve?"
You might say that some men are
curious about things, and make their
scientific discoveries while trying to
put their curiosity to rest That would
be philosophical answer. 1t might
not be the correct one But it would
be an attempt to reduce a complex
problem to a simple explanation.
Yet curiosity sometimes does lead
to science Back in 1895 an aStrono-
mer at the Greenwich Observatory
dismissed his assistant because he kept
making an error of about one second
in his readings of the lime that the
stars swept across the center of the
telescope. The man was dismissed for
carelessness. Some 20 years later that
same astronomer. looking back over
the records of other assistants. found
many small errors. He became Gu
rious. Were they all careless? Hardly.
And so a search for the reasons of
error began. The coInplexity was
finally answered in q simple phrase.
personal equation" And the SCI
entists have been working on "reac-
tion-time" ever since.
Philosophy is the messenger boy to
science.

the appearance of Chapayev puts

the last ray of light from the pro-
lection booth, there was the kind of
response that only great cinema can
draw out Of the great masses.
Pravda, in its editorial on Cha
payev' pointed out how infinitely
important films of this type could
be in widening the meager knowl-
edge Of the youth of the Union as
to Russia's past. In "Chapayey" the
Party has been given a new and
powerful aid in the class education
of the young people. They see the
enemy with their own eyes and
hate him all the more. Hatred for
the enemy, together with the pious
homage paid to the heroic memory
of the fighters who fell for the Rev.
olution, acquires the same strength
as passionate love for the SOCIALIST
fatherland."
The picture was seen by Mi

Remarkable NeuU Soviet Film
To Open at Cameo Saturday

OUT of the Soviet Union comes a
" film which has been heralded by
Prsvda, the Association of Revolu-
tionary Film Directors, Moscow
News, Eisenstein. Pudovkin, Dow
jenko, Voroshilov, Budyonny and
the 10000 Moscow spectators who
saw the film in its first ten days,
as landmark in Soviet film his

1t is called "Chapayev" and deals
with the Civil War in 1919 in gem
eral, and with the courageous leader
Of sone of the Partisan Bands of
that time. the remarkable Chapa-
yey, in particular. The release of
the picture was timed with the 18th
Anniversary of the disaster which
overlook Chapayev and cut short
the brilliant career of one of the
most popular and colorful of the
early Red Army commanders.
Not since The Road to Life"
writes Moscow News, has a film
aroused such enthusiasm among
Soviet audiences as 'Chapayev' is
evoking in the seventeen Moscow
cinemas where it is now on view
Despite the number of simultaneous
showings, it is impossible to obtain
tickets anywere unless you go well
in advance"
The American premiere of the
film takes place this Saturday at
the Cameo Theatre, And Street and
Broadway.
'Chapayev'," comments Pravda,
strengthens and multiplies the in
visible ties between the Party and
the masses, eloquently and convinc-
ing demonstrating the organizing
role of the Party and showing how
the Party wins over the masses and
directs them along the path of rev.
olution and victory!
THE entire country will see the
picture. Hundreds of copies will be
made tor the sound screens. Silent
versions will also be made, so that
'Chapayev' can be shown in every
corner of the enormous land-in the
cities, the villages, the collective
farms, the hamlets, the barracks,

Eddie Lewis Shall Judge

AFTER he was dead, after the white race-hatred
a of the boss class had killed him. after he was
slain by the hospitals, there no trial in Jack
sonville. Neither in Clay County nor in Duval
County There were reporters sent down by
the metropolitan press to write the story of the
murder Of Eddie Lewis. Was Duval County Hospital
charged with his death? Then one should indct
not the hospital authorities alone but the whole
class who were accompces in the murder of Eddie
Lewis. The white bourbons, the plantation owners
the factory owners of the South These are the ones
who are responsible for the murder of Eddie Lewis
They killed him. They murdered Eddie Lewis as
surely as though they had smothered him in dark
woods, or slain him in secret house off some un-
frequented road.
Today they are trying Bruno Hauptmann for the
murder OF a rich mans son. But somedav Eddie,
Lewis murder will also be avenged Someday the
criminals will be brought to trial for the murders
and crimes they have committed against millions of
obscure and unknown workers
On that day, when the murderers the class which
rules America, will stand trial. Eddie Lewis will wear
the authority of judge. He will sit high with those
others who will be there to judge and pass out SEN
tence on the criminals. He will sit and preside with
Sacco and Vanzetti, with Harry Simms with Claude
Neal with the host of others unknown and nameless
who have been murdered by the ruling class And
among their voices, the voice of Eddie Lewis will
not be least.
