|WHAT OTHERS SAY

Grand Rapids Herald Review-Be
respectful to the pickerel.
In order to dignity this fish we have
given it a special name-Great North
ern Pike. Under this name he tastes
the same but sounds better.
The Great Northern is a good fish.
He is a game fighter. He takes the
lure with a lunge. He is a good fish
to eat, especially when large enough to
stuff and bake.
Many visitors come to Itasca county
They catch Great Northern. They
are proud of their skill Then some
one of the natives comes around and
refers to the catch as snake" That
helps to spoil the reputation of the
fish and the pride of the fisherman.
We, who live in Itasca, must remem-
Der certain things. We can catch fish
when we wish. We take the kind we
wish and we eat what we wish. Some

straight from the shoulder and
omitted the array of figures

in addresses of this kind. His
talk was of the heart-to-heart

The high scale of the mini
mum wage law passed few
years ago has raised heck with
thousands of boys looking for
a chance to learn a trade. The
labor leaders who secured the
passage of these laws were
sincere in their desire to in
crease the wages of every per-
son who has to work. Their
we'll meaning efforts, however,
while affording the lucky ones
with a few cents a day more
wages, have also worked to
make it impossible for en-
ployers to hire inexperienced
boys and pay them wages
which they are obviously I'M
able to earn. The last legis-
lature passed an apprentice
ship law which provides that
boys can be employed under
certain agreement with en-
| ployers and work at such
wages they can earn while
taking a two-year course. The
placement supervisor is Will
bur M. Bennett of Duluth for
the district and can furnish
boys for such places if applied
to but not more than he can
find employers. This will help
out some who would have no
chance to learn a trade.

INN S4ASAAA SAAJSJ Az
Fairmont Daily Sentinel Captious,
caviling carpers eager to smear the
state administration and foist them
selves as slobbery champions of the
suffering and real little sisters of the
poor, find great fault that the Legis-
lature, in its wisdom, aided and abet-
ted by Republican governor, lawed it
so that old people on poor relief are
required to turn their property if any
over to the state instead of leaving ii
to the children.
Harping on this single string the
anvil chorus of the discounted Farmer
Laborites produces much wierd and
varied sound. Senator Geo. Lommen
head chorister, turns his tear wringe1
round and round and, gosh, how she
gushes!
Farmer Albert Eisele, post chaiseing
for the Blue Earth Post, dispoSes of the
matter with clarity and logic. Here's
what Albert thought up as he cogitated
while getting the corn ground ready.
Senator Lonmen, speaking of the
new old age homestead lien law, says
'StaSsen defended law that strips the
old, honorable men and women Of
Minnesota of the one and only heri-
tage which kind Providence still gives
them-taking away the home-the
hearth-the birthplace of the children
granting it to the state for the misery
fifteen or twenty dollars of old age
assistance
We believe, on the contrary, that the
homestead lien law is a good piece Of
legislation. EVERYBODY, known that toe
many people receive old age pensions
when they could easily be taken care
of by their children. Even on direct
relief there are people in every COM
munity who could be taken care of by
their more fortunate relations. Child
rem let the state take care of their
parents, but when the parents die then
the children rush to divide the prop
erty That they act thus is of course
unfortunate, but it is merly in keeping
with the philosophy of the times, and it
requires law to revert people to their
duties and honest obligations, then by
all means let it be law. That law is
required, is disgraceful, but nevertheless
necessary.

lege of studying for two years at the world
renowned Cavendish Institute of Cambridge
University, England. Few indeed are accorded
that privilege Arthur H. Compton, later win
ner of the Nobel Prize, was one of the few
Americans so privileged. Katharine Blodgett
could scarcely believe her good luck. She
studied at Cavendish those two years under
the personal guidance of Lord Ernest Ruther-
ford, director of the Institute, and one of the
worlds greatest scientists. In 1926 she was
the first woman ever to be awarded the
Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by the
Cavendish Institute.
She came back to Schenectady and resumed
her work with DR.. Langmuir. Together they
went on with the study of tungsten flaments
for electric lamps, the filament that DR..
Coolidge, the director of their laboratory, had
devised and for the invention of which he had
received the Rumford Medal in 1914. Early
in 1892 after four years of this research, they
published paper embodying their studies of
the formation of hydrogen and oxygen films
on tungsten at varying temperatures. The fila
ments of tungsten used we're less than one
fftieth of an inch in diameter. Yet they
measured the invisible films formed on its

discovery of the 'Iangmuir space-charge

distances is made possible.

graduate year at the University of Chicago,
winning her Master of Arts degree with a
thesis on the subject of absorption of gases by
carbon, the underlying principle of gas-mask
construction.
Enthusiastically sponsored by all her teach
ers and by Albert G. Davis who had sue
ceeded to her fathers position, she found the
doors of the great laboratory at Schenectady
magically opened to her. And soon after she
entered she learned of Dr. Langmur' achieve
ment of measuring film composed of a single
layer of molecules.
But, after that first work by DR. Langmuir, he
had turned to other fields of experimentation,
and she mentally marked the subject of in
visible films, "Pigeonhole to be taken up
later. For the next six years she worked with
DR.. Langnuir on the measurement of elec
trical currents flowing under restricted con-
ditions. Then the result of their studies was
announced in distinguished scientific journal.
One of the two names jointly signed to the
article was that of Irving Langmuir, already
so famous for his work that he had been
awarded the Rumford Medal of the American
Academy of Arts and Sciences and the Hughes
Medal of the Royal Society of London. The
other name signed was that of girl, hitherto
unknown in the world of science - Katharine

describing their further experiments in that
field, and then, amazingly, she won the privi-

Miss Lolita Smith, who for a num-
Der of years has held a secretarial
position in the law office of Godfrey
Child, Esq, this city, has been sworn
in as Deputy Register of Wills and
has assumed her new duties in the

While Miss Truths resignation is

We feel sure she will make an able

The services of Representative T.
Alan Goldsborough, of Maryland,
Ranking Majority Member of the
Banking and Currency Committee was
lauded on Tuesday last by Democratic
and Republican Members of the Group
at a luncheon given in Mr.. Goldsbor-
ough's honor by Representative Steag-

and expects to resign as a member Of
the House to take up his new duties
on the Bench about April 1.
Speaker Bankhead, in reviewing the
service of the Marylander, said that
without disparaging the work Of any
other Committee of the House, the
work of the Banking and Currency
Committee during the past five or six
years has been the most important.
Speaker Bankhead has been a close
personal friend Of Mr.. Goldsborough
for many years. In the 1924 cam
paign, he spoke in every County in the
District which is represented by Mr..
Goldsborough.
In his remarks on Tuesday the
Speaker said, also, that if some Of
the bills which Mr.. Goldsborough had
had been accepted by Con-
gress, the country would have been in
a INCH better condition than it is now.
Among the measures which Mr.. Colds
borough supported was the enactment
of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act,
which insures all deposits up to $4,000.

The following was contributed with
regard to Mr.. Whites death:
The Pitts Creek neighborhood lost
one of it's most highly respected and
best loved citizens last Friday, March
Bird, when Mr.. Francis w. White died
in the home of his son, Mr.. j. Russell
White. He was 70 years old. His
exemplary Christian life had won fol-
him the admiration and esteem of all
who knew him and his daily walk was
of such character as to command
the respect of even the most skepti-
cal.
Mr.. White was a Baptist and was
for long period of years a deacon OF
the Pitts Greek Baptist Church. He
loved his church and its interests and
was ever ready to do whatever he
could for it advancement. Funeral
services, held at the Pitts Creek Bap-
fist Church on Monday afternoon at
two o'clock were conducted by Rev
John A. Ditto. Interment took place
in the community burial grounds on
the old Baker farm where his re-
mains were placed beside those Of his
deceased wife.
The message brought by Rev. Ditto
was of the highest order and was Of
great comfort to the family. The
church was taxed to its capacity.
The favorite hymns of Mr.. White
"Jesus Lover of My Soul" and "Hear-
er My God to Thee" were beautifully
sung and played by Mrs. VIM. E..
Bounds and her son, Mr.. Herbert
Bounds.

Be Crested For Use OF
Male Students

Western Maryland College is now
erecting new dormitory and field
house, both for men. The buildings
will be located on the old athletic
field on the north side of the campus
where ultimately quadrangle OF
buildings for men will be constructed.
The dormitory is to be available to
men from all four classes and will
be ready for occupancy by the open
ing of the next school year on Septem-
