Which Does Not

INCIDENT MAY BE
STARTING OF WAR
Major Conflict Might Be
Outcome of Wanton Attack
By Japanese, Despite Re-
ports of Truce at Tientsin;
Japan Charges Gross Vio-
lation

Tokyo, July 10 (AP)-The Chinese
government vigorously protested to
Japan today that Japanese scouting
planes had machine-gunned Chinese
troops and supply trains in Hopeh
Province, violating China's territorial
sovereignty.
The Chinese counter-charge came
but a short time after the Japanes gov
eminent had officially accused China
of aggravating the tense North CHINA
crisis by a direct aggression on ia
panese interests.
Despite reports of truce being
reached at Tientsin between local Chi
nese and Japanese military authorl-
ties. it was considered here that the
strafing of the Chinese military trains
might have been the first such action
of a major Sino-Japanese war.
Japanese admitted their planes had
fired on the trains at Yuanshih, ITO
miles south of Peiping, on the Han
kow railroad, but declared the troops
aboard the trains had fired on the
Japanese war craft.
The Chinese declared their troops
had suffered many casualties in the
attack.
Japan, scouting reports that any
truce had been reached at the Tient-
sin conference Sunday, charged heavy

Honolulu, July 19-(AFD-The mys-

the silent, watery wastes of the vast
Pacific today. Four naval vessels and
the $500 weary men who sought her

More than 100000 square miles of

dropped from sight July 2.
Somewhere near the dot which is

Rattles More Used by
Adults Than by Babies

Ties have been used more by adults
than by children IN most lands ex-

Soldiers in ancient China were
stirred by music of bronze rattles
in military orchestras. African
tribes devised many kinds OF rat
Ties for use in magical rites. Egyp-
tians had kind Of rattle called a

Babylonians We're
Fathers of Science,
Says Orientalist
Knew Much of Medicine
and About Astronomy
Nv DIR. WALDO H. DUBBERSTEIN
The Oriental Institute,
University Of Chicago

Chicago.-Assuredly the an
cient Babylonians deserve the
title Fathers of Science.
Through 5000 years of docu-
mented history we can trace
their slow steps toward modern
science. We today have no rea-
son to feel smugly superior IN
our advanced knowledge. The
really hard steps in progress
are the first ones. Those were
taken for us thousands OF years
ago.
Four thousand years ago, Babylo-
MAN surgeons set broken bones,
made major and minor body incl
sions. and even attempted eye OPP
erations. A. pictorial representation
shows the physician with his inev-
table case and bandagcs.
Sicknesses were known BY specific
names. and symptoms were record
cd. Magical and religious elements
Of Babylonian medicine are easily
over-emphasized. while honest med
ical prescriptions are overlooked.
There is reasonable purpose IN
Babylonian magic. Once gods ana
demons had been accepted, then
charms and incantations for their
control were also necessary. Had
magic been omitted, the patient
would certainly have lacked conf
dence in his physician. 1t was part
Of his professional bedside tech
nioue. But scores Of simple medi-
cal prescriptions have no magic In
them. Some even have real lmedici-
nal value.
Mathematics and Astronomy.
Mathematics was obviously prac-
teal in 4 complicated business de-
ve1opment such as Babylonia expo
rienced almost 5000 years ago. An
cient textbooks offer simple and
complex problems.
In the oldest texts are found addi-
ton. subtraction, division. multlpii-
cation, and fractional numbers,
Square and cube root tables, as vel
as multiplication tables, were also
compiled. Even the theorems com
monty ascribed to the Greek Pyth
aroras and Thales, who lived IN the
Sixth century B. C.. seem to nave
been known, empirically at least
in Babylonia 1000 years ago.
Astronomy began its climb to
ward q respectable science as al
assistant to that pseudo-sciencc, as
trology. Yet by 1000 B. c. Babylo
MAN astronomy had assumed mucl
OF it's later form as practical SCI
ence. The necessary adjustment be
tween the lunar and the solar yea
was made by inserting extr'
months. All this demanded specifi
astronomical information. The pat
Of the sun through the heavens ha
been charted through the ~ cor
stellations, whose names still SUI
vive in our zodiac.
II was their practical compile
ton OF observed phenomena, as we
as their discovery OF general truths
, that made the Babylonians pioneer
ing scientists.

sides business and personal news,
the radio also brings entertainment
to the fishermen when their days
work Is done, effecting a change in
the lives Of the men as remarkable
as any since the day of the heroic
Gloucesterman of legendary fame.
The use of radio sets on fishing
craft has developed almost entirely
since the perfection of the air cell
battery. Storage batteries proved
unsatisfactory for radio purposes
because they require recharging
and, as they gradually wear down,
provide fainter and fainter recep-
tion. The air cell battery furnishes
uniform power for more than 1000
hours of actual service. In addition,
air cell radio sets pick up none Of
the rumblings and other interfer-
ence caused by the proximity Of
machinery.
A few shippers have also install
ed radio telephones on their boats
and call their families every night,
but this is a luxury that can be en-
joyed by only the most prosperous.
Air cell radio sets, however, have
been brought within the reach of all.
