SCIENTIFIC NATIONAL PROGRAM

We have had numerous national programs pro- posed by American business men, statesmen, and ec- onomistS Here is from scientist which seems to deserve more than usual attention It suggested by Dr. Karl r Compton, president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science It covers the fields of natural resources, agriculture, industry health, welfare, and research.
 First stop unbrided exploitation of our natural resources and apply sound engineering principles to their development and conservation.
 Second make thorough study of overproduction and low prices and scientific effort to develop in- dusrial uses for farm products
 Third seek industrial prosperity less through gov ernmenta support than through scientific and technical developments of new products and processes.
 Fourth, undertake the prevention of physical and mental diseases in big, constructive way.
 Fifth in order to plan integenty for the future welfare of the country begin adequate collection of phy scal and social information.
 Sixth, establish closer cooperation between govern mental agencies and the non-governmental scientists and engineers.
 This program obviously aims to handle big pro- bems in big way combining the facilities of govern ment and science to apply modern knowledge to the practical problems of modern life It should have the support of every thinking person There is no sense or safety in merely drifting and trusting to luck and im- proving remedies in hurry when we get into ecopom ic and social trouble.

Now. there are lot Of foods which
have come to be labeled with the op-
probious word "devitaliZed". For in

But, as a matter of fact, this Is en-

and filling. Irrespective of how much

Furthermore. they are made lip of

Good cooks are the best dietitians.

plays, experimenting with eight
o'clock curtains instead of the usual
$50 or 8:45 openings, for first night
performances, have tossed a bone of
contention into the critics circle
Reviewers for morning papers have
always lived a life of split seconds and
menacing headlines. Some of them
keep hote- room sanctuaries to which
they can rush in the middle of the
third act, or even at the beginning
Of the second, in order to pound out
copy for next mornings editions,
which go to press early.
Afternoon paper drama tasters, on
the other hand, enjoy leisurely din
ners and object to the early firstnight
dwellings. The ordinary run-of-the-
mill first-nighter, who attends pre-
mieres to be seen and to be in the
social swim rather than for any pro-
found interest in the drama, doesn't
matter anyhow. He will have to adapt
himself to the convenience of the
critics.
In the case of the few plays with
which the early curtains have been
tried, results have been mixed Giving

New York Lawyer
. Makes Gift to Duke

Durham March 18-During the
past several years the Duke univer-
sity law library has received a col
lection of 1000 letters and several
thousand press clippings relating to
Chester D. Pugsley, prominent law
yer of Peeksllill N. Y, the gift of
Mr.. Pugsley.
The interesting collection of cor
respondence and clippings reveal Mr..
Fugsley's wide interests, his efforts
directed toward the development of
international law and the improve
ment of international relations, and
his support of many constructive
movements concerned with these
fields. Mr.. Pugsley's varied interests
are indicated by the. fact that his
biography in Who's Who requires
full column.
Mr.. Pugsley has indicated his inter-
est in education through many bene-
factions to educational institutions
and by the establishment of a large
number of scholarships. He has on
numerous occasions presided over, di-
rected or sponsored international in
stitutes and conferences, and has,
through subventions, made possible
the publication of important docu
ments and other material relating to
international law, international rela-
lions and other subjects.
