tine warriors, seeking to mlSlead the
crews of 10 italian planes which
flew over them, lighted fires all
over a field some distance from
their position. The airplanes
sweeped low over the field, detected
the ruse, and rained down 6S-pound
incendiary bombs on the warriors
encampment.
Italian planes bombed three vii
lagos which form a triangle be-
tween 30 and 40 miles south of
Makale on the present front line.
The villages are Antalo, Baia and
Afgho-Gropghi. They were bombed
for one hour.
A scout plane made a reconnais-
sance flight before the 10 bombers
took off, and kept them advised by
wireless of the nature of the coun-
try.
The most important observation
made during the flight was that of
a huge tent, big enough to hold a
small town circus, which military
authorities believe must be occu-
pied by one or more important
chieftains, possibly including Ras
Siyoum commander in chief on
this front, II was the first time
that such an enormous tent had
been seen. It was surrounded by
armed groups, mostly without tents.
Tt was announced officially that
airplanes have succeeded in drop
ping supplies and water by means
of parachutes to the advance guard
of Gen. Mariotti's column, which is
proceeding along the edge of the
Danakil region east of Makale.

LAS VEGAS, New, Nov 16. tU.P)--
George w. Norris, veteran Republi-
can senator from Nebraska, said he
would reply formally to President
Roosevelt's refusal to permit him
to retire shortly after his arrival
here today.
Senator Norris was indisposed in
his hotel at Boulder City, New,
when the president protested his de-
cision not to run, and refused to
comment until today. He had been
inspecting Boulder Dam.
Roosevelt said that the people of
Nebraska and the United States
need Norris, and that he should re-
main in the Senate until he dies.

Relief and Idleness.

When wholesale relief bounty reaches
the point of depicting the labor market
when there is work to be done and jobs
are available it becomes public la
bility. This is the situation IN North
Dakota, where abundant grain harvests
await the services Of men at good wages
and the farmers are unable to enlist
enough "hands" to bring in the crops
There is no actual shortage of potential
labor, just a shortage of willing labor.
So the drastic move of suspending $4,000
heads of families from the relief rolls
of that State had been made, to supply
the needs of the farms Six other Mid
western States have taken similar meas
ures to insure the gathering of the crops.
The demoralizing effect OF promiScu-
GUS relief is a constant factor in any
wholesale endeavor to supply sustenance
to the needy. If living" can be
had by not working premium is put
upon idleness. The present country
wide system OF combined Government
and State succor for the unemployed
has undoubtedly retarded industry to

Unnecessary ANNOYANCE.

With the principle of the automobile
House most people will agree. Maryland
and a number of other States have
found compulsory annual inspection of
automobiles an effective method of
guarding against some mechanical de-
fects which might contribute to acci-
dents. What is more, the windshield
sticker denoting the inspection serves
as reminder to the driver Of its purpose.
It may make him more careful.
But the bill for the District passed
yesterday creates another Government
bureau; creates an additional fee for
automobile drivers; calls for an annual
appropriation of $4,000 after the first
year-when it will be $l60,000-and
promises unnecessary inconvenience and
delay to drivers. Instead of following
the practice in Maryland of designating
approved service stations for the inSpec-
ton of automobiles, leaving to the owner
the choice of a repair man, the local
bill will set up an Automobile 1nSpec-
ton Bureau and create more Govern
ment jobs for the taxpayers to support,
And if the Inspection Bureau runs true
to form, it will probably be undermanned,
underequipped and, because Of niggardly
appropriations, altogether inadequate to
perform its functions. Getting an auto
mobile inspected will doubtless require
long waits, with the automobiles
stretched in line for blocks.
Private service stations can do the
job more efficiently, more quickly and
with less inconvenience to the owner
In Maryland, no fee is charged the
motorist. Most automobile owners are
willing enough to remedy defects, once
they are pointed out, and the service
stations are compensated by the repair
Jobs. In the District the automobile
owner would have to take his machine
to a private service station for the
repairs ordered by the Inspection
Bureau.
Is it impossible for legislation to be
enacted without creating more bureaus,
more red tape, more job-holders, more
ways to annoy the hard-pressed
taxpayer?

Notebook of Science Progress in Field,
Laboratory and Study.
L Laboratory and Stud
BY THOMAS r. HENRY

Intricately interviewer are the threads
Of life and light.
The existence of very narrow bands In
the light spectrum-poSSibly even single
wave lengths of radiation-with power
full specific biological effects is being
demonstrated in various Washington
Laboratories.
One such discovery has just been an
nounced in joint paper by Lewis H.
Flint of the Department Of Agriculture
and E. d. McAliSter of the Smithsonian
Institution, and came about as result
of further studies of the termination of
dromant lettuce seeds when exposed to
radiation.
Last Winter DR.. Flint found that such
seeds could be made to germinate by ex-
posing them to red, orange and yellow
light and inhibited from terminating by
exposure to green, blue and violet light.
One end Of the spectrum, in a sense,
would put them to sleep and the other
end would wake them up.
The inhibitory effect was general for
the whole upper end of the visible light
spectrum, but it was found to be most
powerful for two narrow bands of wave
lengths in the blue-green region-lying
around 400 and 1890 Angstrom units in
length.
Meanwhile the division of radiation
and organisms of the Smithsonian In
stitution had been conducting expert
ments on the effect of light on totally
different biological phenomenon-photo
tropism. This is the curious tendency
of plants to bend toward the light. 1t
had been demonstrated that this bit Of
plant behavior was due to the fact that
the growth of the plant shoot was in
hibited on the side toward the light.
1t was found, further, that the inhibi-
tory effect lay in the green-blue- violet
end of the spectrum and that 1t seemed
to be concentrated in the two regions
of 400 and 4,8OO Angstrom units-the
same ones that inhibited most powerfully
the termination of lettuce seeds.
The two findings fitted together and
it seemed that the experimenters, work
ing in apparently unrelated lines, had hit

great extent, perhaps ineScapable re-
suit of a social experiment without pre-
vious experience for guidance. This
labor stringency in the grain areas OF
the Midwest would not have occurred
if the habit of reliance upon public
sustenance had not been formed.
The measures adopted to meet the
situation are only reasonable, if severe.
The harvest season is short and when
the crops are garnered there will be a
slump in the labor market, when 1t may
be necessary to resume the dole. But
there remains the hope that with the
harvesting of the crops will come re-
newed industrial activity on scale to
absorb the labor that will then be re-
leased. Those who have loitered while
the call for harvest hands was sound
ing and have been drafted for field
work by the cutting off of their
emergency SuStenance will be the first
to apply for restoration to the rolls.

dependence without effort.
There are always the families to be
considered, the dependents who will
suffer if there is no employment and
no public relief. They must not be per-
mitted to suffer. But the demonstration
of the principle that relief will not be
granted if there is work available must
be made effectively, to check the dispo-
sition to lapse into dependent idleness
which seems to be the trait of many
thousands of people today.

significance as the most necessary i'm
provement.
Rock Greek is nothing short of an
open sewer. If any one doubts this, let
him go down into the park, say in the
vicinity Of the Connecticut avenue
bridge, for an evening of rest and re-
Taxation on any of the hot Summer
nights. In spite of the efforts made by
your paper and others in a strenuous
campaign several years ago to correct
this disgrace, the condition is no bet
ter today than then. Regardless of
where the sewage comes from, it should
be corrected at once. No other civilized
country would stand for it 10 minutes.
If necessary, the entire drainage area
of Rock Greek, from its very source to
its mouth, should be condemned by
right of eminent domain and set aside,
just as such areas draining into reser-
voirs for drinking purposes are protected.
This is certainly the one big improve
ment needed in Washington, and now,
while the money and unemployed engi-
neers are available, it seems to me is
most propitious time to act.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

In the main, there seem to be two
great classes Of desk users-thoSe who
keep 'em neat and they who keep EN-
untidy.
There is no in between.
Either a desk is immaculate or 1t Is
so cluttered with papers, books, baskets,
pipes, telephones, and so on, that not
even the owner can find what he wants,
others may say.
It would be dangerous TO INFER tnat
this has anything to do with the thought
processes of the individuals concerned.
Keepers Of neat desks do no more
orderly thinking, 1t may be believed,
than those who permit hodge-podge TO
exist on the top of a desk.
1t is impossible to judge from such
circumstances.
The times have changed.
Once it may have been easy to deduct
certain things from outward signs.
Consider the householder.
At one time it was fairly easy to tell
what sort of people lived in q house
by the way the yard was kept.
1t can't be done any more, although
the idea that it can dies hard.
Perhaps 1t never could pe done WIN
desks.
A desk is more than just something to
hold necessary working tools, supposedly
of the intellect.
A desk becomes a part of the being
of the person who habitually sits at it.
An English novel of several years ago
gave an interesting description of q
wartime occupant OF a desk, going
through the drawers and pigeonholes,
sorting over the possessions OF former
occupant.
Most of it he considered junk, to be
thrown away.
The diSorderly desk may not be as
untidy as it looks TO a stranger, who
is looking at it from the simple stand
point Of the stranger.
Every paper, every book, may mean
much to the owner.
When he sees the desk he sees what
the papers and desk mean.
He sees uses, customs, enthuSiaSms,
necessities, work, play.
The stranger sees nothing but desk
and there is not much to a desk, just
as a desk.
It Is Just another piece of furniture,
when the rightful occupant is gone.
1t is as the body or a house or a
city, deserted by the spirit of life Of the
body, the house or the city.
An old roll-top affair, battered and
worn, scarce fit to be hauled away, but
for many years it held in its equally
worn chair a man.
No doubt he dreamed, too, from time
to time. Few desks see nothing but
work. They see dreams, hopes deferred,
love and expectation.
The worn blotter, dog-eared at the
corner, could tell tale fit for fine
novel, if some one should come along
who possessed the key to the mystery.
Maybe it could not tell much of a
story, after all. Not all desks can, any
more than people.

Six deSkS-and you couldn't possibly
tell about the occupants by looking at

The untidiest desk is occupied by the

The very orderly desk is held down
