pre- winner in Physics, will be,
cone the Sherlock Holmes of the
great coSmic ray mystery if his
plans, announced in Chicago, are
successful.
The University of Chicago pro-
fessor who has spent years study
ing the habits of the cosmic ray,
believes his newly perfected in
styument-carrying balloon which
automatically sends signals to the
Ground by radio will do much to
clarity what many believe is the
greatest mystery now confront
ING scientists. Some believe that
the truth about these strange
rays from the unknown will be
the key to unlock the power now
stored in the basic elements. All
agree that they pack the great
est wallop of energy known to-
dayl.
The balloons, which Compton
announced would make tests from
the Equator to the Arctic re-
gions, include instruments to rec
ord altitude, temperature and the
intensity of cosmic rays. With
this knowledge, it will be possible
to determine if these rays are
influenced by the earth's mag
netic fields, if they are changed
by their collision with our atmos-
phere and if they are, as one
scientist claimed, the birth
cries" of the atom.
Tests made on the earth's sur
face and within limited range
showed that cosmic rays could
furrow through a half mile of
water. DR.. William Beebe, who
went down a half mile in the
ocean in his specially constructed
bathosphere said light rays did
not penetrate that far. Other
experiments demonstrated that
cosmic rays could cut through
layers of lead which withstoOd
even the powerful X-Rays and
radium rays.
Experiments have indicated that
the rays are influenced by the
magnetic poles so that they in
crease in the North and South
Arctic regions and are relatively
scarce at the Equator. This,
scientists believe, indicates that
these rays are attracted to the
magnetic poles much as tiny stee
particles would be picked up if
they were thrown into the air
near the magnet.
Just what happens when the
cosmic rays strike out atmos-
phere long has puzzled scientists.
Do these rays hit matter and
replace their hearts or nuclei?
That is one supposition which
would explain the change of ele-
ments. All that is really known
is that tests have shown an in
creasing number of cosmic rays
as the Instruments were taken to

COURT DOPESTERS
HIT BY CUMMINGS
"Esoteric" Group Unnamed
in Constitution Talk to
Gotham Bar.
Nv the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, December 19.-Attor-
ney General Homer S. Cummings last
night took to task what he termed IAN
esoteric group of specially endowed ill-
dividuals" who attempt to forecast Su-
preme Court rulings on constitutional
issues.
The Attorney General, speaking be-
fore the New York City Bar Associa-
ton, did not define any group by
name.
Dealing first with historical changes
in Supreme Court thought and the
shifting emphasis from one class Of
guiding considerations to another"
Cummings said:
"Of late we have been confronted
with the further assumption that a
correct understanding of the meaning
. of the Constitution is revealed not
merely to the Supreme Court, but to
certain individuals who, from time to
time, deplore the course of events and
express exaggerated anxiety as to the
safety of our institutions.
Our Process of Inference
1.-THE precise meaning of the ConSti-
tuition becomes, therefore, the par
ticular meaning which they, as an
eSoteric group Of specially endowed in
dividuals, have elected by their own
processes of inference from the pre-
Vious decisions of the court.
This would seem to present a some
what novel phenomenon in the mat
ter of constitutional Interpretation.
1T may we'll be asked, however,
what intellectual, professional or
political right has any individual or
any group of individuals thus to pro-
claim an advance, and as if from on
high, a constitutional Interpretation
which can be authoritatively supplied
only by the Supreme Court itself,
which has so frequently confounded
by its decisions the forecasts and
opinions of Congresses and Presidents,
as we'll as of private critics and COM
mentators?
The absolute theory of one and
only one rational construction of the
Constitution renders impossible any
proper understanding of the nature
Of our American constitutional method
and of the functions of our Supreme
Court
Defends Court Criticism.
Cummings. taking up the propriety
of public criticism of the Supreme
Courts decisions, said that such de-
cussions had gone on from the begin
ming of the Government and that they
could be "an important and valid aid"
to the court.
AS to the question of the right of
the legislative and executive branches
of the Government joining in enact
ment of laws of doubtful constitution
ality, he declared:
THE theory that any member Of
Congress violates his oath who votes
in favor of legislation not free from
constitutional doubt would entirely
exclude the possibility of legislation
in new fields or of novel character. ;"

LONDON LP.-Proposals for ina

manifesto issued by the Social
Credit party of Great Britain.
Several Social Credit candidates, it
Is announced, will participate as can

Success of the Social Credit ex-
ponents in Canada has brought new
enthusiasm to the British party, COM
monty known as the Green Shirts.
The stated hopes of the party are
for national credit Office which
would issue the national dividend to
every citizen. Employed and unem-
ployed alike would share in the plan.
Prices would be controlled, it is stated,
to prevent a rise in prices through in
creased purchasing power.
1T is estimated" declares the most
recent manifesto, that Great Britain
is doing less than one-fifth of its pos

Death Takes Jesuit Guardian
Of Famed Bell of St. Mary's

town in 1888, and at the Founders
day celebration he tolled for the last
time the bell he loved SO much. He
always claimed its chimes were the
sweetest tones he had ever heard.
Friends of Father Barrett who only
knew him casually were surprised to
hear he was only 70 years of age, for
his feebleness and white hair made
him appear many years older.
Entered Society at Is.
Father Barrett was born in the old
st. Aloysius Parish in Washington
on July %. 1862. He was educated in
the parochial school and at Gonzaga
High School, entering the Society
of Jesus when he was scarcely more
than Is years old. Practically all his
years as a Jesuit were spent at Wood
stock College, which brought him into
close affliation with Georgetown. He
was as well known at the college as
had he lived there.
At Woodstock he was professor of
dogmatic theology and consultant in
the archives. editor of the Wood
stock Letters" and censor of Jesuit
publications. For a period, 1928 to
1888. he spent almost all his time in
charge of the archives at Georgetown.
So far as could be learned, Father
Barrett is survived only by nephew,
John Barrett, and two nieces, Misses
Margaret and Agnes Tholl, all of this
city.

more than $50 persons, including
some who had been members Of the
church since it was organized.
Justice Josiah Van Orsdel OF the
United States Court Of Appeals for
the District, an elder Of the church,
gave "reminiscences of his early days
in Washington and of the early his
tory of the church. Other speakers
included Rev. DR.. David S. SHAH,
Rev. DR.. Charles Richmond, Miss
Helen Childs, a charter member OF
the church and chairman of the
Jubilee Committee. The benediction

by letter from DR.. w. L. Darby, its
secretary, who attended the dinner,
and participated in the closing cele-
bration. Many kilograms and letters
from former members Of the church
and its friends in many sections OF
the country were received.
DR.. Albert Joseph Mccartney, min
.ster of the church. was Ill and un-

TINE old bell of st. Mary's, which
tolled the hours of services in
the first Catholic church
Il founded in Maryland until
transferred years ago to the archives
of Georgetown University, has lost
one of its most faithful guardians in
the death Wednesday of Rev. Timothy
B. Barrett, S. j.. former archivist.
Father Barrett. 73 and a native
Washingtonian, died at Woodstock

Kept Watch on Bell.
For many years, before and after
the time he was the active archlvist
at Georgetown, Father Barrett kept
faithful watch over the historic bell
of st. Marys City. He was familiar
with its history as we'll as the history
of the Lord Baltimore colony and the
early Jesuit fathers who were the
progenitors of Georgetown University,
whose records are kept in the college
archives.

year in the liquor industry was made
yesterday by Samuel Freedman CT
Cincinnati, vice president of the Ma

Speaking at a convention of the

IN TEST
LAID TO STUDENTS
Dr.. BaIIou Clears Wilson
Teachers College and Ex-
animation in Report.

Neither Wilson Teachers College
nor the type of examination given It's
graduating class last June is re-
sponsible for the great number OF
failures among students in the kinder
garten-primary courses, according to
DR.. Frank w. Ballou, superintendent,
who has made report of his investi-
CATION requested several months ago
by the Board of Education.
DR.. Ballou was asked to make the
Investigation when II out of IA Will
son graduates failed to pass the test
for licenses to teach. At the same
time, four out of five candidates from
other schools also failed and the board
asked if the examination itself was at
fault.
Finds Test Reasonable.
ct have reached the conclusion"
he reported to the board, that the
teachers examination conducted in
June, 1885, for elementary school
teachers was a fair and reasonable
sampling of the professional equip
ment which the candidates possessed;
that it measured the general cultural
BACKGROUND, the educational theory
and the understanding on the part OF
the candidates to solve teaching prob
lens that will confront them, and
that the examination was properly
within the general scope of the pro-
gram of any accredited teacher-train-
ing institution, including the Wilson
Teachers College.
With regard to the graduates in the
primary course of last
June, so many of whom failed IN the
examinations, I have also reached the
conclusion: That the students of Will
son Teachers College. who entered
that institution in 1881 were not a
highly selected group, but were instead
a cross section of all levels of ability
from among the senior high school
graduates: = and that the un-
usually poor showing of the kinder
garten- primary group is not incon-
sistent with the general scholarship
record of these students during their
respective college courses"
Cites Selection of Students.
DR.. Ballou also pointed out that
when the class entered, the total num-
ber Of applicants did not exceed the
number of places open and that no
effort was made to select only high
school graduates with outstanding
scholarship records.
In fact, he said, some of the men,
bers of the class were permitted to
finish their courses. although the
faculty at the college felt that they
could not successfully complete the
prescribed work
The report was filed with the men,
bers of the board, but action was
deferred until the several members
have an opportunity to study it in
detail.
