ToDAY's SCIENCE
by SCIENCE SERVICE

In a laboratory cage, two mon
keys quarrel. One of them assumes
command That animal is boss.
The other must dance to the tune
he calls.
Why does the one become tyrant
and the other slave? This is a
problem that a psychologist has
set out to solve. 1t is one having
many implications for man in a
world of dictators, political bosses,
Office tyrants and the myriad petty
and glorif1ed rulers of other mems
lives.
Why is it that man may be
subdued and helpless in his own
home, but become a tyrannical
slave-driver when he reaches his
Office desk? This is one of the
universal human problems on which
light is thrown by the study of
monkeys now being conducted at
Teachers College, Columbia Univer-
sity, by DR.. A. H MaSlow
Inc size or the group is very
important in bringing out bullying
tafiavior, DR.. Maslow has found.
When three individuals are placed
together, the situation is entirely
different from what it is where
there are but two or where there
are four.
When Dr. Maslow's animals were
paired, two by two, it soon became
evident which were the most domi-
nant monkeys in each conceivable
combination of two. Then he in
troduced the third animal and the
picture changed. Perhaps the new
conner was more dominant than
either of the pair already in the
cage and became over-lord.

A BETTER TAX

THE House having tossed the mystery tax bill
lette brings forward again the same simple tax
amendments which he has urged for several years
1t is a relief to get chance to discuss again some
thing we all can understand.
The La Toilette amendments would make income
taxpayers out of about 100000 citizens who now
pay only invisible taxes would boost the normal and
surtax rates, and would produce $446,0000o0 addi-
ent tax structure and present business conditions
More important the long-range purposes of
the La Toilette fundamentally To make visible
taxes pay larger share of the governments costs,
and thereby reduce the burden borne through in
visible taxes, and thus CD to reconstruct our Fed
eral tax system on the sound and socially just
principle of ability to pay.
The present percentage is all awry. More than
so per cent of all Federal revenue is obtained from
upon the poor and only lightly tap the rich.
Let's get some of these invisible taxes out where
we can see them and feel their weight Let's look
at them again in the budget of that midde-class
family, the Joneses-John and Mary and son oscar
whose financial and tax problems we have dis
cussed previously in these columns. John Jones
has q good white-collar job He earns $500
year, which that the Joneses are better than
twice as well of as the average American family
tax OF 1880.

THINKS LEGION SEEKS
SPECIAL PRIVILEGE
By Parlor Pink, Terre Haute

~ aAAuA AHAs 1eTIc hduLe
For two years I have heard Ameri-
can Legion speakers talk about
Americanism with its freedom and
equality. At the same time we have
heard other American Legion speak
ers trying to obtain special favors
for the ex-service man.
This and Legion -fostered legisla-
ton has proved that they favor spe-
clal privilege instead of equality.
Now another DOGGY man has them
scared. This time it is the alien who
is better qualified to hold a job than
they are. Again the Legion favors
special privilege by wanting a job
given to a man not upon his ability
but upon discharge slip. Evidently
some of the boys without ability are
holding their discharge slips, and
aliens with ability are holding jobs.
Looks like we need saving again
but not from the Kaiser.

Am marching at attention,
United States Army regulations
specify 1913 thirty Inch steps min

command is regulated by that of
the foot troops. For infantry the
rate prescribed for drill is 100 yards

good card kibitzer-probably the
best we have-but we never knew
until yesterday that his interest in
sports extended beyond that. 1t
now turns out that Mr.. Lieber is
the eSt-informed man in Indian
apolis on the Olympic games to be
pulled off in Germany this summer.
He didn't deny it when we vent to
see him about it.
Mr.. Lieber Began at the begin
ming, which is what we like about
Mr.. Lieber. The games, said he,
will start with runner carrying
a torch lit by the suns rays in the
temple of zeus at Olympia. None
of your new-fangled electric but
tons or magnetic gadgets, said Mr..
Lieber.
This fire will be brought from
Olympia through Saloniki, Buda-
pest, Prague, Vienna and Dresden
by 5000 runners. Each runner will
be provided with a torch which will
be lit by the runner he relieves. The
last runners torch will light this
years Olympic fire which, accord
ing to the tradition established by
Baron de Coubertin, must burn
throughout the games.

Ava of Baron de Coubertin, despite
the fact that he was Frenchman.
The Baron, it turns out, thought
up the Olympic idea in 1884 but he
didn't get it to work until 1896. Since
then it's been going all right,
though.
Mr.. Lieber attaches great i'm
portance to the historical fact that
the Baron thought up his scheme
just at the time Adler, Dorpfeldt,
Hirschfeld, Treu and Furtwangler
completed their excavations and
archaeological studies in Greece. He
thinks that it might have had some
thing to do with the Baron's idea
and that maybe the Baron's idea
wasn't so French after all.
Anyway, said Mr.. Lieber, the
Germans this year aren't going to
be satisfied with sports alone. They
are going back to the original idea,
which was a correlation of the arts
with the games.
Olympia and Greek art belong to-
gether, said Mr.. Lieber, and we
heartily agreed with him. Indeed, we
never saw anybody bring out the
Greek in us the way Mr.. Lieber did.

u. 5. TO DEFEND
EMPLOYEES
ON PANEL
Validity Is Contested
In Conviction For
Larceny Here

Seventy-five per cent of the Gov.
eminent employees in Washington
have voting residences in the
States and are thereby prohibited
from serving on District juries.
And, under the drive to bring out
the VOTE, in the present cam
paign, this percentage will be in
creased.
These statements are included
in a brief on file in the United
States Supreme Court today in
the case of Raymond Wood which
will be argued before the court
this week.
Mr.. Wood was tried in Police
Court on a petit larceny charge.
He attacked the validity of the
trial on the ground that six of the
jurors who tried him were under
obligation to the Government.
Four were Government employees.
One had received a bonus and the
other received a Civil War pen,
sion.
Upheld by Court
The District Court of Appeals
upheld him, declaring the recent
law allowing these people to serve
on the jury unconstitutional.
The Government has appealed
from this decision. This case is
highly important to trials in the
District, the Government petition
points out, because 44.3 per cent
of the jurors chosen in the Dis
trict are Government employees.
If they cannot serve, the courts
will be hard pressed to try cases.
In answering the argument, Mr..
Woods attorneys made the state
ment IS per cent of them were
barred from serving anyway be.
cause they vote in the States.
Historical Debate
Besides this statement of facts,
the arguments before the court
promise to be a highly favored
historical debate.
The Government claims that
under the British common law
the Kings servants were allowed
to serve en- jurieS, thereby provid-
ing a sound basis for Government
employees to serve on local juries.
Answering this argument in
their brief, Mr.. Woods attorneys
express the doubt that the Colon.
lists, in drawing up the Constitu.
ton, meant for the courts to fol.
low the British law in this respect.
They point out that it is expressly
stated that an impartial trial
shall be allowed citizens and they
declare it is doubtful that Gov
eminent employees can give i'm.
partial verdicts in cases in which
the Government is involved.

GAY FEAST
BY HELEN ESSARY

Washington wing room
rumors insist that a muchtalked
of international romance is soon
to end seriously.
Augusta Rosso, until a few
months ago, italian Ambassador
to Washington, is, the goSsips
say. about to marry the lovely
Mrs. F.. Wilkinson Bunker
formerly of Chicago and Denver
and now of Washington.
Within few weeks Mrs
Bunker will depart for Moscow
where Signor RosSo is now rep
reSenting Mussolinis government
The marriage will take place
there, rumor has it.
Mrs. Bunker, it seems, already
has applied for naturalization
papers which will make her an
Italian citizen.
The romance between Ambas-
Sador RoSSo and Mrs. Bunker has
been the subject of much interest
during the past winter and sum-
mer. Mussolinis rule forbidding
his diplomatic representatives to
marry foreigners complicated the
situation.
But Mrs. Bunker, after a visit
to Rome from which she has just
returned, has taken the first step
to become an Italian. Other steps
must be made before she is able
to meet the requirements Of the
italian State Department. But
the proceedings, we understand,
have been formally begun by Am
bassador RoSso.
Another obstacle to the mar
riage is the fact that Mrs. Bunker
is a divorce. A special dispense
ton from Pope Plus is necessary,
therefore, before the Catholic
church can recognize the wedding.
Mrs. Bunker is a fascinating
person. She is tall and slender
with black hair and large blue
eyes. She has two children, a

Before she came to Washing

Signor Rosso was tremendously
popular in Washington. He was
regarded as one of the most de-
sirable bachelors in town. During
the difficult period of the Italio.

office with admirable dignity. He
has a brilliant record as a diplo-
mat.
