CREGG'S PLAN
FOR WEATHER
BOT TOLD
Late Scientists Idea
Studied at Farley

RICHMOND. Dec. 28.-Weather
forecasts. made for instant in
formation at any time or any
place.
The idea was expounded here to-
day before the meeting of the
American Meteorology Society, in
a report submitted by DR.. w, c,
Devereaux, senior meteorologist at
the Cincinnati Weather Bureau.
But the idea is the brain-child
of the late DR.. Willis r. Gregg,
veteran chief of the United States
Weather Bureau, who died sud
denly last summer.
ROBOT MACHINES
A close friend of Dr. Gregg, DR..
Devereaux disclosed that the late
chief of the bureau had been ex-
perimenting with robot machines
that will go soaring out into
space.
These instruments, known as
acknowledgements, will pick up
information far out in the Strato
sphere, and send back their re-
ports by radio.
These robot reports will give
complete weather map of condi-
tions that are coming. and in time
will be available on any radio re
ceiver, in the opinion of the Sclen-
fists now working on the problem.
NEW OPIATE
Cobra venom. first revealed as
q pain killer three years ago, has
been established as more effective
and far less depressing than NOR
phine and other opiates and Seda-
tives, the scientists were told to-
day.
David I. Macht and Moses B.
Macht of Baltimore, outstanding
in cobra venom research for many
years. asserted that the venom
has proved over a long period that
it provides more lasting relief
from pain than other analgesicS,
and at the same time increases
the acuteness of faculties dulled
by morphine and other opiates.
WILL SPUR USE
Final approval of the venom by
the MachtS was expected to spur
its use in cases of advanced can
Ger, arthritis, neuritis, neuralgia,
tabetic crisis, and ParkinSon'S
disease. It's use In such cases was
especially recommended by the
MachtS.
AS the nations biggest scientific
convention gained momentum to-
day, a retiring leader declared
that sciences quest for knowledge
continuously confirms the exist
ence and power of a Supreme
Being.
FAITH INCENTIVE
DR.. George D. Birkhoff, Har-
ward University mathematics pro
fessor and retiring president of
the American Association for the
Advancement of Science, as
serted that at is this Spon-
taneous faith which furnishes the
most powerful incentive and is
the best guide to further prog
reSS."
Admitting that the immediate
effect of scientific advances is
often very disQuieting," DR.. Birk-
hoff declared that, nevertheless,

uate technical conclusions in his

COLOMBIA ADOPTS

Employed Women Are Given the
Right to Return to Jobs
After Childbirth.

The government Of Colombia took
another step In advancing It's social
welfare program when on April % 1t
passed a law for the protection Of ex-
pectant mothers.
The law provides that an employed
woman shall have paid leave for eight
weeks at the time Of childbirth and
that her position shall be kept open
for her On her return, she shall be
given time at regular intervals to
nurse her child. No woman worker or
employe may be discharged because
she is pregnant or nursing a child, and
any one discharged without justified
cause during the three months before
or after childbirth is entitled to 90
days pay.
Piece workers and those under con-
tract shall have the same rights, the
amount paid them during absence for
this reason to be based on their aver
age monthly wages. The employment
Of pregnant women in unhealthful or

quiring physical exertion. and in work

Of the government, as she was with
the encouragement which is being
given to the building Of small homes
by the offer Of special concessions on
the part of the government in the way
Of freedom from certain taxes.
Life, she feels. is serious to the Ger
mans despite the fact that there seems
to be little unemployment. It is her
impression also that they particularly
fear Russia's influence and worry q
great deal over the fear of another
war. although the belief of many is
that If war comes, 1t will be despite

him.

ments upon her surprise and amaze
ment in finding many Germans talk
ing more freely than has been their
custom in previous years concerning
their sympathy with the government
and what they consider it is accom-
plishing for their country.
Life for the Jews in Germany, she
emphasizes. is very dimcult and Is
hedged about with infinite major re-
strictions Is well as hampering minor
ones.
For instance" she cites. "the head
Of Jewish household cannot even
