TODAY'S SCIENCE
by SCIENCE SERVICE.

TRULY amazing is the only way
l. to typify the discoveries on
plant hormoneS which won the
$1,000 award OF the American Asso-
citation for the Advancement of
Science for Drs. P. K. Zimmerman
and A. E. Hitchcock of the Boyce
Thompson Institute for Plant Re-.
search at Yonkers, N. Y.
A hormone, sometimes called a.
chemical messenger, is chemical
substance capable of arousing or.
stimulating activity. More familiar
than the plant hormones which Drs.
Zimmerman and Hitchcock investi-
gated are hormones produced by the
body's glands, with insulin as a good
example.
Some 16 chemical and plant ex-
tracts have been discovered which
induce growth in a few days when
placed in the soil or when rubbed
on growing plants in the form a
Salve. Tiny rootlets grow out of
stems at the point where the salye
is applied, or come out all over the
main plant stem if the growth ma.
terial is placed in the soil.
u n
EOR one thing practical agricul-
l. ture will have new means of
propagating plants, for the new.
hair-like rootlets can be made to
grow several inches back of
branch tip. When the whole end,
roots and all are cut off, the scien-.
fist has new little plant to be
placed in the soil ready to grow.
when the new substances are
placed in the soil of a growing to-
bacco or tomato plant" says DR..
Zimmerman, they move up the
stem and out into the leaves, caus-
ing recognizable responses within 30
minutes under favorable conditions"

AS the political campaign draws

RATHER SPEND FOR HIS
OWN PROSPERITY

BY Horse Sense
A. j. Colt is aroused by the ig-
norance of the non-supporters OF
the Townsend plan.
We ignoramuses know this much,
however. We know that three per-
sons below go will have to pay $66.66
apiece every month in order that
one person over 60 may have his
5000.
If A. J. Colt is under so, perhaps
he will be willing to pay $66.66 in
taxes each month, but for me, I'd
rather spend that $66.60 myself and
bring prosperity to me.

the value of it to a broker who had
a nervous breakdown during the de-
preston and had to be hospitalized.
One day he happened to mention
to his doctor that in his boyhood
he had always wanted to be a ma
gician. Next day the doctor turned
up with an elaborate set of magi-
clans properties and an out-of-
work vaudevillian. He set the idle
stage magician to work teaching the
mental invalid. The result was
that the patient recovered, is back
in business and has a hobby which
keeps him from brooding in his
spare time.

OTHER OPINION
On Cne Du0SeC
president ROOSEVELT


On the part of the Federal gov
eminent the many legislative acts
creating the machinery for recovery
were all predicated on two inter-
dependent beliefs. First, the meas
ures would Immediately cause a
great increase in the annual eX-
penditures. Second, as a result of
the simultaneous attack on the
many fronts receipts of the govern
ment would rise definitely. Rising
values end the stopping of losses
would diminish the need for work
relief and thereby reduce Federal
expenditures.
Our policy is succeeding. The fig
ures prove it. Secure in the knowl-
edge that steadily decreasing deficits
will turn in time into steadily in
creasing SURPRISES, and that it is the
deficit of today which is making
possible the surplus of tomorrow, let
us pursue the course that We have
mapped.

On the Constitution

Howard Lee McBain, Columbia University
am one of those who believe
that the Constitution as it now
stands is inadequate to meet the
requirements of the governmental
action that will be pressed heavily
upon it in the next 10 or 20 years.
I say this despite the sorry sam
pie of confused and haphazard GOV
Ornamental control that has been
given us by the New Deal. To my
mind, the most serious of all charges
that may be brought against Presi-
dent Roosevelt is that in the midst
of a national crisis giving him OPP
portunities for reform never before
possessed by President he has
chosen for personal and party in
terests to play the usual game of
party politics

W.P. A. CONSIDERS
100000 ARMORY
City Contribution, Site, and
How Expended, Factors
of New Project.

officials in the projects control di-
vision of w. P. A.. it was said today,
are making careful study Of the
plans submitted by District Works Ad-
ministrator George E. Allen for 81
900. 900 National Guard armory.
1T is not so much the question Of
money as it is of the ways the money
is to be spent and how much the
District of Columbia, as sponsor of
the project, is willing to put up they
explained.
The projects control division is the
first hurdle that must be overcome III
the routine procedure before rec
ommendation is made to Works Prog
ress Director Harry L. Hopkins. Pend
ing the outcome of the present studies,
officials declined to comment on
whether the armory project. largest
w. P. A. undertaking Of its kind pro-
posed for Washington, was likely to
receive favorable consideration.
If built on aforementioned land
on the site of the National Guard
rifle range and training ground in
Anacostia, they believed the chances
of its approval would be more favor
able. That is one of the sites pro-
posed by District authorities.
Considerable time will elapse, at
any rate, before the matter is brought
directly to the attention of Admins
traitor Hopkins. Should he approve it.
the favorable recommendation would
then have to be acted upon by Presi-
dent Roosevelt. SO it is reasonable to
expect there is no immediate pros
pect of the project going through in
the next few weeks
The fact the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission drafted the
plans with the assistance of Col. John
w. Oehmann, commander of the Dis
trict Guard regiment, makes it COM
paratively certain that the proposed
armory would conform to standard re-
quirements.
The armory question has bobbed up
persistently over period of years. in
Congress as well as in the Public
Works Administration, in connection
with the proposed stadium at the end
Of East Capitol street, on the border
of the Anacostia River.
Neither the Public Works nor the
Works Progress Administration coun-
tenances any project where the cost
of land would be excessive. For this
reason, w. P. A. officials said, the site
to be determined upon for the armory,
whether already aforementioned
or to be purchased, is an all-important
one in connection with any proposal
for a grant of works funds.

He was seriously injured.

asked to go to the wash room and
was followed by Beck. while Brass
went out to bring the suspect a sand

FEDERAL WORKERS
OFF MARCH JUR|ES
Action Taken Pending Test
Case Challenging Validity
of New Law.

Because case designed to test the
validity of the Districts new jury serv-
ice law is pending in the United States
Court of Appeals. Justice Daniel w.
ODonoghue Of District Supreme Court
has kept all Federal employees and pen
sioners off the March criminal juries,
it was revealed today.
Persons receiving compensation from
the Government were made eligible
for jury service here by the new stat
ute. which became effective last Fall.
Both the grand juries this year have
had on them Federal workers or pen
sioners or notaries public. and large
number Of the District Supreme Court
petty jury panels have included per-
sons drawn from the newly eligible
class. The test case, which arose in
Police Court. reached the Court Of
Appeals last month. 1t was impossible
to ban Immediately Government en-
ployes from the juries. since jurors
serve for terms of one month.
At the beginning of March, however.
Justice O'Donoghue thought it wise to
keep persons in the doubtful class off
criminal juries until ruling on the
constitutionality of the new law can be
obtained from the appellate court.
Whenever the question has been
brought before him, Justice O'Dono-
ghue has held that the law is valid
stating he studied it at length before
the beginning of the Fall term of
court.
Although a ruling by the Court of
Appeals invalidating the law would
affect numerous indictments still
awaiting trial, only three cases
already tried in District Supreme
Court will be involved, it was said.
One is the huge liquor conspiracy case,
involving 81 defendants, which was
concluded recently after two weeks of
trial.
Federal employees have sat on juries
which convicted many other persons.
but the question of the validity of
the jury service law was not raised on
their behalf.
