by Lord Reading to the service of England his country
and England recognized and rewarded his high ability
with high office and great titles.
Contrast this treatment of brilliant English Jew with
the treatment of similar in Germany Compare Lord
Reading for instance, with Prof Fritz Haber the Ger
man scientist who served his country by perfecng the
synthetic production of ntrates, which made it possible
for Germany to carry the war; and was later driven
to suicide by the prosecutions of the Na government
Which government do you think, will outlast the
other-that of the Nas who drive Jews of great ability
like Professor Enstein Professor Haber to foreign
countries or to Suicide England free from racial
religious prejudice rewardng ability in proportion to

Much has been said concerning
nepotism at the Capitol.
Probably one of the most
choice bits of payroll juggling is
accomplished by a member Of
the House.
Until late last autumn he had
q Washington bus driver on the
payroll as his secretary. But an,
other man in his district became
more important so the member
of Congress named him as his
secretary although the gentleman
never appears in Washington.
To make matters even more
complicated, this member Of the
House forces one of his en-
ployes to kick back" 500 per
month in order to pay for the
services of one of the Congress
mans very close relatives.
And this particular member is
one of those gentlemen who con-

are made to better the wages

While its principal use is in the

also is capable of causing cancers

not properly used.
Examples of the baneful effects
were furnished by the deaths of
the women in New Jersey, who wet
the brushes with their tongues
while painting watch faces with
radium.
LONG SEARCH
Science and medicine have been
searching long for synthetic "a.
dunn. Its scarcity can best be
imagined by recalling the fact that
Bellevue Hospital, in New York, is
now using the largest radium pack
ever employed in the United
States for treating deep-seated
cancers, and this largest pack"
contains about one-eighth of an
ounce of the metal.

Now, I am perfectly well aware
that these boys were killers-a
public menace more dangerous
than wild beasts. I also realize
that the cry will Immediately arise
that "it's sob-sister sentimentality

That cry is not new. 1t has

It is the stock protest Of the

"Sentimentality" means an ex-

no more dangerous SentimentaliSt

Such people, unfortunately, are
always sure of an admiring follow

always follows the one who praises
its stupidity, endorses its brutality.

AN INDICTMENT
Sentimentalists are truly the
bane of American life. But never
vet did a sentimentalist lead the
forces of progress. It takes too
much cool courage and controlled

WHEN WOMAN GOES SLEUTHING

, I have often wondered why the
police begin their cross-questloA.
ing by bullying and intimidatlng
a suspect, when they could do it
so much more effectively by lead,
ing him on with flattery. You
can flatter a man into admitting
anything when you couldn't bully
him into telling his middle name.
The clever little HearthSide
Sleuth knows better than to let a
man know what the charges are
against him. Her method is to
begin by telling him what a won
der-boy he is and how deVaStat-
ingly attractive he is to women.
After that, she can gradually
and almost imperceptibly lead up
to THE Woman, THE date of THE
Woman, THE date or THE incl
dent, until he steps. all unSuS-
pecting, into the trap.
One point on which she can
nearly always nail him is the
point of TIME. Because no man
except a gangster or detective
can time himself; and, unless he
was in jail, the average man
never can remember where he
was at any given moment. Or
WHY!
Besides, a man is always guilty
of SOMETHING, either foolish
or otherwise. And when a woman
starts accusing him, it is toss
up with him which would be more
nominating: To admit the
imaginary crime, to invent an
other one, or to tell her the truth.

The day of his return was when
that recent high wind swept the

The value Of radium and it,
usefulness lies in the rays which
are thrown off by the explosion
of atoms in the metal. There are
three of these, the invisible alpha
and beta and the deadly gamma,
which are particles, electrons and
electromagnetic waves which
travel with the speed of light.
The smallest particle Of radlum
contains all three and sends them
forth for as long as 1000 years,
until it dissipates itself into
worthless metal.
Pure radium is rarely used in
the treatment of diseases. A by.
product is employed, generally
radon, a gas which is obtained by
heating or dissolving radium.
The alpha and beta rays are
stored up in tubes, and the gamma
rays absorbed in solid blocks of
lead, and a small quantity Of
radon is as radioactive as a large
amount of radium. Also. radon
is produced without impairing the
original radium.
Thirty to 40 tons of pitchblende
yield just one gram of radium,
and it requires half year of re-
filming to produce that very small
amount. Hence the interest OF
science in producing the artificial.
OF equal or greater Importance IS
the fact that Acknowledgements
radium is short-lived; salt radium,
for example, lasting only day
or so. This is an advantage be-
cause natural radium, as men.
toned above, lives on for cen
turtles.
POSSIBILITIES
Therefore, it cannot be injected
into the tissues of a living human
because it is both poisonous and
its continued radiation leads to
death.
Prof. Ernest o. Lawrence, Of the
University of California, pioneer
in the field. says that artificial
radium is near the stage of being
produced commercially from COM
mon table salt and other cheap
substances. He made the original
cyclotron.
In addition to the one at
Cornell, another is being built at
the University of Rochester and
third at Columbia University.
Columbia aims to have the most
powerful of these demonstrating
guns and is using an electro
magnet weighing IS tons, which
was used up until last year in the
Nays 100000 watt radio station
in Annapolis.
All these atomic race tracks,
for such is the meaning Of the
term cyclotron, primarily are for
the creation of artificially radio
active elements. But their posi-
bilities are limitleSs in the mat
ter of extracting wealth and en-
ergy. They are the crucibles Of
the modern alchemists.
1t is an interesting coincidence
that during this discussion of
the cyclotron the report comes
from Vienna that the age
OLE effort to create gold from
baser metals has been accom-.
plished by a scientist in that
city. Maybe so, most likely no;
by the cyclotron which has made
radium from common salt also
has transmitted gold into mer-
cury-but not mercury into gold.

Why Couzens is for The New Deal


 Philadelphia Record)
 The public is asked believe that all successful business men opposed to the reelection of Presi dent Roosevelt.
 The truth of course, is that thousands of far sighted business leaders recognize that Roosevelt has saved and bolstered up the American system in which their success made.
 Senator James Couzens Michigan Republican, is of these-typca of the best type of American business man. And Couzens announces that he is for Roosevelt
 Beginning early stockholder and bookkeeper in the Ford Motor Company he rose to be general manager of the Ford plant In 1915, he retired from the Ford company after selling out his interests for $50 GOO 900.
 While still with the company, Couzens worked out the Ford high wage policy, which the company adopted and which had far-reachng effect upon American industrial life and economic thought Couzens then devoted himself to the public serv- ice not in order to increase protect his great wealth, but to make his city of Detroit better place for its average citizen to live AS Mayor of Detroit Couzens carried out his plan for municipal ownership of the street railways which met with such widespread public approval that when Truman Newberry resigned from the Senate in 1922 he recognized the logical to the post Although paying large income tax himself, Cou- zens for of the leading advocates of in- taxes that fell heavily upon the rich very rich In this hole, he repeatedly clashed with Sec reary of the Treasury Andrew Mellon who dominated the fiscal policies of the Federal Government in the 1920s
 Couzens is Republican but he has never been subservient to the party leadership which is con- troled by blind and selfish big business interests Couzens himself has given away between IS and 20 million dollars of his fortune in philanthropies. In Michigan, he is both respected a hard headed business man and loved who does not forget his humble origin lose his realization only in the security of the plain people the nation as whole be secure
 Where else in American political life today is there place for such man but in the ranks fight ing for the continuation of the New Deal? It would be unthnkable for Senator Couzens to make common cause with the Liberty Leaguers the budget baancers and the axers who are using the Republican party as their personal instrument for the protection of special privilege
