BUSINESS As SOCIAL SERVICE


Labor's position that industry
should be operated largely for social
service instead Of for maximum prof
its is receiving support from a mum
Der Of business leaders Among them
is Edward A. Filene, Boston merchant,
who frequently discusses economic
subjects.
In his testimony before the finance
committee Of the United States sem
ate in favor Of the extension Of the
national industrial recovery act, Mr..
Filene asserted that there is really
40 logical conflict between the higher
interests Of business and the general
welfare. He said:
The trouble is that there used
to be just a conflict. There was a
time when business could get
more profits if the masses got
less. There was a time when EN-
ployers could make more profits
if their employees got less wages;
and It was during that time that
most Of us business men develop
ed our theories Of business. But
that time has passed. The trou-
bic is that the theories are still
sticking around. All that business
needs for recovery today is TO re-
cover from these theories
Mr. Flene was equally explicit N
his statement that the depression
which started in 1929 was actually
caused BY the unequal distribution Of
the earnings Of industry, which was
and still IS, the dominating theory
of business. On this point lie said.

either had to be passed around or
the whole machinery Of production
would choke up. It wasn't passed
around and the machinery did

plete story Of the depression"
Unfortunately most Of our business
leaders are still animated with tht
theory Of maximum profits for those
who own and control the system d

that he was forced to resign from the

Another was chased out after he had
publicly denounced the barbarous con-
ditiors in the Pennsylvania coal fields.
Az other was fired because he col

brutality Of Pennsylvania coal and

Highway Commission Will
Consider Projects in
Six Counties.

Bids on bridges and state high
way construction in six counties, in
Guiding Marion, at an estimated cost
of 1858, 900, will be received July %,
James D. Adams, State Highway
Commission chairman, announced
today.
Two of the projects, the elimina-
ton of a grade crossing of the c.,
c.. C. & ST. L. Railroad at Flack-
Vile and bridge near Delphi, will
be financed with Federal funds.
State allotments will be used on the
others.
A bridge 300 feet long with two
foot passenger walk will be erected
at the Flackville site.
Other Marion County projects will
be repairing of the overhead at State
Road 81 and the Illinois Central
Railroad, and a bridge over Big
Eagle Greek on State Road 81 at
Raymond-St and Belmont-av. The

Today S Science
by DAVID DIETZ-

A ROW of test tubes standing in a laboratory in
n Columbia University may eventually solve the
farm problem by sboishng farms solve the problem
OF nations hampered by lack of farmland and make
It possible for the earth to support many millions of
persons more than the most optimistic figure now
given for its maximum possible population.
The test tubes represent preliminary experiments
with heavy water which DR.. James Curry and DR..
Sam F Trelease think may point the way to solving
the riddle of photosynthesis.
Photosynthess is the process by which green
plants absorb carbon dioXide out of the air and
water out of the soil and with the aid of sunlight
turn them into sugars and starChes. If science
petely understood this process. mankind could be
freed from the cycle of the soil and food instead
Of being grown on farms could be manufactured
in factories
DR. CURRY and DR.. Trelease have been carrying
II on experiments to learn the influence of heavy
water on the process of photosynthess
Heavy water. it will be recalled. contains double
weight hydrogen instead of the ordinary hydrogen
which is found in ordinary water Samples of ordi-
nary water of course contain minute traces of heavy
water.
In the experiments. samples of chlorella uni
cellular green plant or algae used. Ordinary
water was added TO some samples and similar
amounts of heavy water to the others.
The rate al which photosynthesis went on was
then determined by measuring the amount of oxygen
liberated by the plants During the process of photo
synthesls, oxygen is given of.
THE experiments revealed that with e9e per cent
pure heavy water the rate of photosynthesls
was about Al per cent of that with ordinary water
In other words heavy water slowed up the process
by more than half of the normal rate
The difference in rates of photoSyntheSls with
heavy water and ordinary water can not as yet be
explained in terms of the mechanism Of the reac-
ton" the two experimenters state in a preliminary
report to Science official journal of the American
Association for the Advancement Of Science.
But We continuing our experiment with
this object view. The of heavy water provides
a experimental approach to the problem OF
establishing generally satisfactory theory for the
mechanism Of the photosynthetic process"
The Use Of heavy water has already proved OF
considerable in other types of experiments. Be-
cause molecules of heavy water can be later denu-
ned such, they may be regarded tagged" or
labeled molecules. Thus they being used in
experiments to find out how long sample of water
Is retained within the tissues of animals and for
other experiments
