SOCIAL CREDIT
ACTS DROPPED
IN ALBERTA

EDMONTON, Alberta, Feb. 1s
UN.S0.-Premier William Aber-
hart, who mixed evangelism with
craftsmanship in an attempt to
make Alberta the first North
American Utopian state, today an.
nounced abandonment of more Of
his "social credit" experiments.
Licensing of newspapers, one Of
his most criticized and controver-
sial proposals, was dropped on ad-
vice of more conservative dele
gates to the Social Credit League
convention.
It was pointed out that redress
for unfair or untrue reports could
be obtained under existing libel
laws.
Industrial Codes Dropped
Codes for BARRIERS, printers and
garage owners, jammed through
the last Alberta legislature by the
social credit majority, will remain
on the books but will not be en-
forced, Aberhart said. They re-
sembled the American codes which
operated under the late NRA.
The master code for retail and
wholesale trades will remain in
effect.
But the portly parSon still was
optimistic about his prospects of
putting the rather involved prin-
ciples Of social credit into opera
ton in Alberta.
A new set of proposals will be
presented to the legislature open
ing February IS, he announced.
He hoped to do something that

not look favorable, Aberhart hoped

swept him into office-to pay each
citizen $25 a month.
Its principal effect was an i'm

Policeman JailS
OWn Wife After
Man Is Killed

CHICAGO, Feb. 18 GN.S0,
Policeman Edward J. Kelly had
enhanced his reputation as "a
good copper" today.
officer Kelly has had some
tough jobs during his IA years
on the force, but battling Grim
inals as a member Of the gambling
and vice squad was easy work COM
pared with what he had to do yes
terday.
Kelly arrested his 30-year-old
wife and saw her booked for man
slaughter.
Walking into the office of Police
Capt. Andrew Barry accompanied
by his wife, Kelly declared:
"She is ready to confess. She
drove the automobile that killed
Attorney Henry L. ChatrOOp the
night Of January H."
Mrs. Kelly said she fled from
the scene because she was afraid
the accident would hurt her hus-
bands standing on the force, but
that her conscience finally forced
her to tell him. She said:
'T haven't been able to sleep.
I don't know why 1 didn't tell
Ed sooner. i feel better now"
The good copper" proved to be
a good husband when he declared:
"When we married we were
married for good. This won't
make any difference"
The officers wife, released On
$4,000 bond, was to be arraigne6

Science Disciplines Electrons

When Complete Mastery Gained

As an example, the statement
POINTED to the interior OF a gas
( discharge tube, such as the SODIUM
lamp, which is coming into WIZ
use on highways.
Scientists, said the state
J ment, "can measure the current
of electrons flowing inside the
tube from the heated cathode TO
the anode. They know that there
are millions upon millions OF So
dium atoms in this place. They
can, of course, see neither elect
rons nor atoms, but they do see
the characteristic yellow color oil
sodium light, and that tells them
the elecuons speeding across the
tube are colliding with the sodl1m
atoms. Many of ta1 collisions
between the speeding electronS
and the sodium atoms cause pro-
found changes in the atoms struck,
and when those atoms return 20
their normal condition they give
off the golden light that is the
principal evidence of the whole
process"

"The great universe of elect

Yet scientists know that with

SCHENECTADY, n. Y, Jan
22. (UP)-General Electric sci
entistS working in research labor
atories are training electrons to
serve man" In fact, the scien-
lists say the eiectron promises to
be the greatest and most power
full servant that man has.
In statement to the United
Press, the General Electric Com
pany said the electronS are being
sub jected TO training, and that the
discipline they are being taugnt
evidences one more step IN mans
control over the forces Of ma
ture. r..'''
Scientists today have fairly
good idea of what an electron Is.
They know that it weighs l-l845
of a hydrogen atom. that 10 Is
charged with negative electricity,
and that its mass increases as It's
velocity approaches that of light.
IT'S 2oTH CENTURY
PRODUCT
The electron. admitted by mod
ern physics and chemistry TO be a
probable ultimate constituent of
all atoms, is product Of 10Th
Century research. '
Scientists say that until the
goth Century, the structure OF
atoms was entirely a subject for
theory, and conjecture. .E
with modern research meth
DDS and equipment the General
Electric statement said, "it be-
came possible not only to theor-
ize. but in some instances to study
the interior of atoms and the
movements of electrons.
Experimentation with clec-
irons, scientists are going far be-
yond tbs limitations of our visible
world. They have long forgotten
the age-old commOn-senSe adage
that seeing is believing. They
are seeking knowledge in an UNI
seen, unknown universe.

smell, hear or taste. The five
senses that serve us so well in
ordinary day-to-day events, are,
however. hopelesSly inadequate in
receiving impressions from elec-
irons. The reason is that elec-
irons are so tiny.
OFFER IDEA OF SIZE
"0ur five senses are not keen
enough TO be aware of them. Any
things that weighs 1-lSI5 of hy-
drogen atom, in turn weighing
of a gram, is quite outside the
realm of human SenSitivity; and
that is what an eleetron weighs.
It's too minute for direct observa-
ton"
With modern instruments, it is
possible now for scientists to oh
serve the effects of electronic
activity. From the study of the af-
fects, scientists work back to the
causes. IL is also possible TO define
certain laws of action the elect
rons seem to follow.

-BRITONS PLAN
HOMEDEFENSE
.FORDOMINI0NS
No Overseas Aid Expected
In Next War Unless
Island Attacked

(. LONDON, Jan. 22u (UP)-
Canadian and Australian soldiers
iamay not be called upon to sail
overseas for the next war.
That is the answers given in
well informed quarters of Lon
. don 70 the statement of the RI.
, Hon. William Hughes at Legacy
Club luncheon in Melbourne that
/ air development had so destroyed
Nsnaval supremacy that il would be
difficult to ship Australian troops
TO Europe in event of war.

Were directly attacked would
"Great Britain exepect the DOmin-
lions 10 send troops, it is said. lr
{ event of war in which Britain
became involved by European
commitments, il would not seek
manpower from the DOriinions.
2 TWO REASONS CITED
This line of argument is based
on two basic reasons:
Pit would be too difficult a
task to convey large bodies of
troops across the world in these
days of planes and high speed,
tying up too many warShips COM
pared with the value of the men
in modern warfare.
! 2-1he air arm has radically
altered war, increasing it's tempo
so that the time lag between the
beginning of q war and the arrival
of troops from overseas would be
comparatively much higher than
in the last world flight.
Furthermore, the geographical
line UP for war in which Britain
might be involved probably would
show japan on the opposite side,
which would mean that Australia
and Canada could do more by
keeping their troops at home rs
n holding force to prevent any
diversion compaign by the Japa-
neSe.
HOME DEFENSE VITAL
' A glance Of the map of the
Pacific shows how essential 1t
would be for Australia and Can
ade to look to their defenceS and
conserve their powers if Japan
were fighting on the opposite side
Z TO the British Empire.
All was well i'm the last war,
when the Anglo-Japanese Treaty
existed and Japan fought with the
Allies. Now there is no such
, treaty and q fair amount of fric-
ton between the former allies, it
is pointed out. That makes it I'M
perative that the Dominion troops
should remain on the home front.
/. unless the United Kingdom were
directly attacked. Even then the
; time element would make il diff
ficult for Australia to send troops.
:, II is understood that the Brit
ish government will request DOM
inion authorities to discourage any
flow of volunteers TO Britain in
event of war, pointing out that
all overseas man-pOwer should be
conserved for home defense.
What Britain will need from
the Dominions, il is emphasized
Lare supplies, food and war
Materials, and these must be care
fally conveyed at all costs. That
will take, enough warships out of

sidering the conveying of troop

CIRCULAR READY

Circular No. 70 on crested wheat
grass by Ralph Mercer is now avail
able at the county extension office.
Among the important recommend
ations are the following:
Time Of seeding-May 10 to June
LIST on a well prepared seed bed. In
late fall, October 1st to December
18th on abandoned crops or stubble
land.
Method of seeding-For seed pro-
duction. in rows 80 to AZ inches
apart without a nurse crop. For for
age, in IL inch rows.
Amount of SEEDS to 5 pounds
per acre.
Depth of seeding-Shallow plant
ing is important. In no case should
seed be planted deeper than p inch
and better to seed a inch deep. Soil
should be well packed. On dryland,
never plow a field which has been
seeded to crested wheat grass if any
plants show up.
Other points covered in the circu-
lar are harvesting, threshing, clean
ing.
Any of the above recommends
tions if met are eligible for the ag-
sicultural payment, according to
County Agent Peterson.
For lawn seeding, the above rec
