BRAIN WAVE NOW
TAKENBY CAMERA
Apparatus Installed in Lab.
oratories of Rochester
University.
b, the ASSOCIATED Press.

ROCHESTER,. N, Y. November 13.
"A ''brain-wave apparatus that am
plifies one million times and records
ON a Photographic film the electrical
wave generated by the normal human
brain, has been completed and in
stalled in the psychological laboratories
Of the University OF Rochester.
Its electrodes of pure silver are linked
TO two specially constructed electrical
units capable of magnifying electrical
currents million times. These elec-
trodes are. placed against the head OF
the person being studied, and the
minute electrical currents are stepped
oscillographs.
Zig-Zag Tracing.
The latter consist of small mirrors
that are turned by the electrical i'm
pulses coming from the amplifiers. A
beam OF light Is reflected by them
to moving Photographic film which
shows q regular zig-zag tracing when
it is developed.
DIR. Leonard Carmichael, chairman
OF the department of psychology and
dean Of the university's College of
Arts and Science, said today that
some OF the most fundamental inves-
legations Of the nervous systems func-
ton have been made by studying these
electrical changes or ''action poten-
tials."
Dr. Hans Berger. German scien-
tist, he said. first demonstrated that
it was possible to amplify and record
the rhythmic electrical phenomena
from the human brain without
operating upon the subject.
Wide Interest Develops.
His findings were confirmed two
years ago at Brown University by DR..
Carmichael and DR.. H. H. Jaspar, and
since that time wide interest has de-
veloped in the so-called Berger
rhythm"
The apparatus was built for the
university by DR.. Howard Andrews of
the physics department at Brown
University.

King Edward the Eighth of England flies from sandrng
ham London take up his duties ruler Of the British
Empire.
Americans will remember the equally dramatic flight Of
Franklin Roosevelt from Hyde Park to Chicago when he
was nominated for the Presidency in 1882
The flights symbolic the tremendous changes that the
world has undergone in the brief space of generation
When the King born years ago. who could have
foreseen that he would literally travel through the skies
assume the burdens of kngship?
few poe few visionary novelists, few eccentric in
ventors perhaps but who else?
Now flight is commonplace and only of many mracu
ou commonplace like the motor the radio and the
SCREEN which have transformed life within the memory of all
who have reached middle age.
Less than hundred years ago the Kings journey
might have taken him week-over miry roads in cumber
coach with equeres and outrders protect him from
highwaymen and bandits.
England has rid herself of her bandits
She hanged most of them and sent the rest America and
Australia.
She KEEPS her monarchy, having carefully limited its
powers that it can do her much good and harm.
In theory the King has all the prerogatvs of William
the Conqueror.
In practice he little than personal influence
in government and that must be tactfuly applied,
America learn nothing from England about aplanes
about anything else which requires mechanical ingenuity
and aptitude
There we lead the world
But can learn much from England about GOVERN
MENT-honeSt IN sound government, government
under Which the rights Of the hunblest Engshnran
jealousy guarded the rights of the King himself
Which does discard tried and tested insu
tions merely for the sake of change.
The British keep their kings they tolerance for
criminals crackpots.
Over here don't tolerate kings, We keep hundreds
Of thousands of criminals and crackpo and keep
them in truly regal STYLE
They seem to be OUR royalty. And HOW THEY CAN
RULE!

WEST INDIES

If you can't get away to make
a protracted cruise or trip around
the world, there is a splendid
substitute not so very fa1 from
home. For, down in the West
Indies, in the nearby isles of
the blue Caribbean. you will find
every type of country and ma
tionality. French, Dutch, Brit
ish, creole, all are represented,
as well as our own Virgin
islands.
Yes, for a real voyage of dis
covery, romance, and enlighten-
ment, we can think of none bet
ter than q Caribbean cruise.
Two days out of New York and
we have left behind gray skies,
chill winds and snow, and for
them we find substituted waving
palms, coral islands, villas set
in jungle-like gardens under a
cleaning sun. Our first stop Is
as the Virgin islands, where an
effort is being made to attract
a bigger tourist trade.
Our next stop is at Martinique
where Fort de France, trimmed In
mountains and dominated by the
volcanic Pelee. rises abruptly from

Three-Minute Journeys

>the sea. Here you find yourself
in France, not the France that
you know, but a more languorous,
lush France which manages to
be gay without being hectic. and
colorful without OVERRIDING things.
You will visit st. Pierre, that most
beautiful place that was said to
be too beautiful to last.
Next we head for the port of
st. George at Grenada, also a
British protectorate, but where
many of the natives speak a
strange French patois. Grenada
is quaint and beautiful and you
will want to linger there. 1t is in
strong contrast to Trinidad with
it's many races.
You will enjoy Port of Spain,
which is as British as Barbados in
structure and spirit, but which is
yet more colorful, especially out
side the city. over $4,000 East
Indians live in Trinidad and there
is a Hindu temple that looks for
all the world like India.
For another country we put in
at Willemstad, the port of the
Island of Curacao, a little bit Of
Holland in the tropics. There you
will pass through quaint streets
with quaint Dutch dwellings.

They we'll know that the Su-
preme Court of the United States
is in very truth "the keystone OF
the arch" which is the American
system of government.
That is why "the Great Tri.
bunal" is the target today for
another insidious assault by Rad
icals engaged in a sapping expe-
dition to alienize the American
system.
That is why various and sundry
proposals have been revived in
Congress to shackle the Supreme
Court by one device or another.
That is why Radicals are again
appealing to passion, preJuolce
and ignorance in an ATTEMPT to
make the Court distrusted, If not
despised, as a first step in their
campaign to rdiscredit the Amer
lean system.
Books, magazine articles, broad
casts are pouring forth-au WIN

resenting the Court and the sys-
TEN of Government Of which 1t
is so essential part.
OPPOSED CHECKS
There is nothing new, for ex-
ample, in the proposal to make
Congress the supreme and tlnel
Judge of it's own powers. TINS
proposal was put forth in the
early years of the Republic. 10
seph Hemphill. Representative in
Congress from Pennsylvania. in a
speech on the floor Of the House,
on February Is. 1902, declared:
"They wish that con-
struction be put upon the Con-
Stitution by Congress which
shall be considered as the Con-
stitution itself, and are unwill-
ing that there should be any
check to oppose it; and Of
course every construction put
upon it by the different legiS-
latures will exhibit the appear
ance of a new constitution, a
constitution to be tossed and
blown about by every political
breeze. The powers of Con-
gress will be equal to the pow
ers of the English Parliament,
tranScendant. splendid. and
without control"
Speaking in the Senate of the
United States on January 26. 1880,
Robert Y. Hayne, of South Caro-
lima, said of this same proposal.
then under discussion:
"NOw, will anyone contend
that it is the true spirit of this

Congress is to be the supreme

Constitution is a dead letter and

These salient quotations from
the early days of the Republic are
cited by Charles Warren in his
brilliant discussion of this pro
posal to make Congress the SUI

authoritative book, entitled Con

VITAL QUESTION
OF the Radicals who would
make the Supreme Court the SER
want of the Congress and destroy
the independence of the Judiciary,
Mr.. Warren says:
MEN and women alike who
have been dissatisfied by some
particular decisions rendered by
the Court in holding an Act of
Congress unconstitutional have
launched an attack upon the
Court, challenging the funda-
mental right of the Court to
render these decisions or any
decision involving the validity
of a Federal statute Such an
assault is of course, of a most
serious nature"
But there are other assaults
even more insidious now aimed
at "the Great Tribunal" by the
Radical followers of the Admins.
tration now in power.
These assaults are aimed at the
impartiality of those members of
the Court responsible for its re-
cent decisions.
Where does the Administration
stand as these assaults upon the
keystone of the arch" of the
American system increase IN vol
ume and in violence?
The country has yet to get a
straightforward answer to this
question. But the Administration
cannot hope to go to the great
jury of the people" for its verdict
next November without at least
attempting to answer the vital
question raised by the Radicals
who seek to alienize the American
system of government by destroy

others on the rolls who should

One specific example which
Dickstein deplores is that of a
man who was to be called by
the chairman to appear before a
congressional committee to an

Dickstein advises that the man
