Beveridge a question. It has moth
ing to do with the old party labels,
or with the emotional side-issues
fought over by politicians in sham
battles. 1t is fundamental ques-
ton, as proved by the fact that
when Congress votes upon it, both
parties are split wide open amidst
a nationwide uproar
This is the kind of question that
came up on the holding company
bill. In presenting the bill to the
House, Chairman Rayburn made a
statement. We submit the question
(the words in quotation marks are
the words of Chairman Rayburn) to
Mr.. Beveridge as follows:
Will Mr.. Beveridge tell the Pro-
gressives of this district, if he, like
Mr.. Ludlow, would vote against the
consumers of light and power, to up
hold new master of the American
people holding in it's control bill
lions of dollars worth of property
k. whose decisions can shut down
mills, move factories, reduce en-
ployes to a state of serfdom, strip
the stockholders of local companies
of their equities, siphon off the
earnings of profitable companies be-
yond the reach of their stockholders
to the stockholders of other COM
panies?
In other words, would you, Mr..
Beveridge, vote to preserve these
legal devices by means of which the
consumers of light and power are
forced to pay extortionate rates in
definitely in order to make good the
promises of high-pressure stock
statesmen, made when they unloaded
watered stocks upon the people?
The Progressives see how in Wis
consin a son is following in the foot
steps of great father. And they
would like to prove to you, Mr.. Bev-
eridge, that the voters of Indiana
are no less intelligent than the vot-
ers of wisconsin, if you will do like
wise.

TODAY'S SCIENCE
BY DAVID DIETz-

A N increasing willingness upon
I N the part of scientists to declare
their religious views is one of the
outstanding trends of the last dec
ade. DR.. Arthur H. Compton, DR..
R. A. Millikan, Sir Arthur Edding-
ton and Sir James Jeans are among
the famous savants who have given
expression to their views in this
field.
Undoubtedly there is a marked
change of view from that which OBJ
tanned at the beginning of the CEN
fury, when many authorities felt
that there must be a state of war
fare between science and religion.
The chief reason for this changed
point of view is to be found in the
decline of the mechanistic theory of
the universe. Heisenberg's principle
of uncertainty may be regarded as
the foundation upon which the new
relationship between science and re-
| llgion is being constructed
The mechanistic view enshrined
the law OF cause and effect. Every
phenomenon which occurred could
be traced to a previous one which
was its cause and so, in the final
analysis, the whole universe was
nothing but the unfolding of an in
evitable series of consequence. Man
was completely robbed of free will
by this point of view.
This mechanistic view of the Nine
teenth Century carried over into
the Twentieth Century, and at the
time that physicists were beginning
to abandon it, found its chief ex-
preston IN the realm Of psychology
in Prof. John B. Watson's school of
behaviorism.
Based on Pavlov's discovery of the
conditioned reflex, this school re-
duced human behavior to a mecha-
niStic basis.
The new point of view grew out
of experiments attempting to
measure with great exactness the
behavior of the electron within the
atom. 1t was soon discovered that
it was not possible to measure both
the position and the velocity of the
electron with complete accuracy.
In fact, the accuracy of one
measurement, introduced a CORE
spending inaccuacy in the other,
so that if one was known COM
pletely, the other remained COM
pletely unknown.
This meant that the behavior of
the electron could not be predicted.

Some states have a strictly en-
forced law against improper use of
lights and Indiana needs a similar
law.
Approximately one-half of the
motoring public has good lights and
uses them properly. and the other
half is divided into three groups,
first, those who have good lights
and refuse to use them properly;
second, those whose lights are in
needs of repairs or establishments;
and last, the drivers who do not
know enough about their cars to
use their lights properly even if
they are in good condition.

PROPER USE OF LIGHTS
BY MOTORISTS URGED
BY Jack Holdin.

BY Jack Holding
The recent and present drive on
traffic violators is an excellent idea
and I'm sure it is going to elimi-
nate deaths and accidents.
However, one very important fac
tor not being considered is lights.
Faulty lights cause numerous acct
dents and deaths. The motorist who
will not lower or dim his lights is
a menace to safety. One bright
headlight is worse than two. AS a
rule, if one light burns out, the
driver keeps the other one bright
making it difficult for an oncoming
motorist to face the glare.
All cars are equipped with a con-
venient switch with which to lower
or raise the beam of light. Bright
lights are absolutely unnecessary in
congested areas, and in outlying
districts they should be lowered. or
dimmed when meeting another car

BY JOSEPHINE DUKE MOTLEY
Are you strange. my tiger cat,
Wanting to explore
Life that seems to radiate
Beyond the kitchen door?
Patiently you sit and wait
For the latch to turn,
Sit and watch with blinking eyes
While hopes within you burn.
Now it opens, and you dash
To freedoms boundless plane.
What shall you be wanting next
But in the house again?

MEXICO CITY, April l6.-Peo-
AVA pie who have been around are
always repeating that old phrase
about there being only three cities
in North America that have char
acter-San Francisco. New Orleans
and Quebec.
Once in a while, you hear one
say that maybe Mexico City
should be included, but he never
actually includes it. I can't exactly
tell you why, but wouldn't include
it either.
If were making out list (Which
I seem to be- I'd put New Orleans.
San Francisco and Quebec at the
top for charm. and then I'd make
a secondary list of Mexico City,
New York and Washington,
wouldn't include New York for
charm. but just because it's so big.
Mexico City is beautiful, but, it
seems to me, not as beautiful as
Washington. 1t is big, too-a mil
lion and a quarter. 1t is old-more
than 800 years old. 1t doesn't have
subways or elevateds or skyscrap-
ers. But it has fine buildings and
street cars and taxis and traffic
lights and running water and night
clubs. And it has more statues
than Baltimore.
II LIKE Mexico City mainly be-
L cause of the people have met.
They are grand. Intelligent, court
eous, and generous about putting
themselves out to do things for you,
trait which is at its lowest ebb in
the United States.
I like Mexico City because you
can taxi anywhere downtown for
IA cents (our money!. And, despite
warnings to the contrary, no driver
has tried to overcharge me.
I like Mexico City because its peo-
pie are park lovers. All classes.
old and young, go to the parks at
night and on Sundays. And they
seem to have a good time.
I like Mexico City because it is
colorful, and full of old cathedrals,
and relics of history that really are
history, and lots of frescoes by
Diego Rivera painted on walls in
side of public buildings, and because
it has barefooted Indians right in
the heart of town carrying immense
loads on their backs.
A ND on the other hand:
l. n dislike Mexico City, first of
all, because of the sand in the air.
And because the trees are all COW
cred with brown dust, and every
thing looks dry and thirsty.
And dislike Mexico City because
it is 1900 feet high, and makes your
heart pound, and you have to stop
and swell up every now and then to
get enough air-until you get used
to 1t, which I haven't yet. They
say even natives have heart trouble
from it.
I dislike Mexico City because it
has so many automobiles and buses,
and the drivers all think they're on
the indianapolis Speedway. They're
great horn hooters, too.
I don't like the trend of architec-
ture which is making Mexico City
look like combination of Holly
wood and a futuristic Russian
movie
I dislike Mexico City most of all
because it isn't really Mexico, any
more than New York is the whole
United States. You see barefooted
Indians on the streets, it is true,
but just the same Mexico City no
more represents the bulk of Mexi-
cans (who are still full-blooded In
dians) than New York represents
the American redskin.
Oh yes. I dislike Mexico City also
because, on the whole, the people
don't like Americans. But then 1
dislike the Americans for making
the MexicanS dislike us.

Town
ANTON sCHERRER

NTINOR note: Pembroke Cor
IVA nelius raised a crop of blue
roses last year. It's too early to
know what he thinks Of this year.
Werner Jansen, who lives in our
midst except when he is called away
to Helsingfors, New York, ST. Louis,
Philadelphia or Detroit to conduct
their symphony concerts for them,
is generally credited with being a
profoundly serious young man.
So much so that people who are
supposed to know something about
human behavior suspect that it's a
defense mechanism to throw every
body off the track. Well, as it turns
out, they're tight. Mr.. Jansen has
a vice for punning.
He started early. Most purlsters
do and it's been our observation
that they live to ripe old age, too.
Anyway, it was in the Great Neck
High School that MIR. Jansen was
asked to construct a sentence IL
Illustrating the use of the word
atom" Cup and at EN-" answered
Mr.. Jansen.
That was % years ago. He got
better after that.
INDEED, his best pun dates from
n his Dartmouth days. Shows what
education will do. Asked If he was
related to August Jansen, who runs
the Hofbrau in New York, he said !:
my father is the Hofbrau and /
am the low brow" It's probably the
collectors item of the entire lot
unless, perchance, it's the one about
Emmanuel Kant, who, for some I'M
fashionable reason, happens to be
Mr.. Janssen's favorite author.
Asked if he understood Kant he
said, Sometimes I can, sometimes
I can't"
Once, but only once, Mr.. Jansen
cashed in on his puns. He's the
man who gave us the song, "On the
Lido With My Libido,"
A S evidence of our widening
4 n wonder we cite the shabby
treatment accorded our unmarried
women by the telephone people.
The wonder widens with the dis
covery of the scrupulously nice
treatment accorded widows by the
same telephone people.
A widow, for instance, gets the
benefit of a Mrs" in front of her
given name in the telephone book.
An unmarried woman gets nothing.
To be sure, an unmarried woman
may have Miss" if she's willing
to renounce her given name but she
gets mad at the mention of it.
Which is why you don't see Miss
in the telephone book.
If you ask the telephone people
about it they will tell you that a
Miss" with a given name, a sur
name and an address take up too
much space. Two lines, as a matter
of fact.
Shucks! We know a lot of widows
in the telephone book, we mean
who get a Mrs" a given name,
surname and an address and it
takes up all of two lines. We don't
know why the telephone people like
widows the way they do.
Religious Note: The candles used
in the Easter services we attended
were bought from the Standard Oil
Company.
