A new electrical brain which will
do in half an hour problems in
trigonometry which would take a
competent mathematician equipped
with a calculating machine about
two days, was described to the
American Physical Society meeting
here today.
The machine, invented by DR..
Louis r. Maxwell of the Agriculture
Department, is sine curve adder"
1t is expected to save vast amounts
of labor in getting at the bottom of
some of the most intricately hidden
secrets of nature. It calculates auto
matically by means of induced elec-
trio currents which are made to vary
in complex fashion.
Nearly all the continuous phe-
nomena of nature-weather, tides,
growth of plants and animals, etc.
take place in irregular recurrent
waves, it was explained. The curves
used to depict these recurrent waves
are extremely complex because most
of them represent combinations of
many regular curves. always recur-
ring in precisely the same way,
which are known to mathematicians
as "sine curves" For example, there
are probably 40 or so different re-
current things which determine the
heat of any particular day in the
year. according to the degree with
which they coincide with each other.
One of the great triumphs of me

WILL WAR COME?

The probability of war in Europe con-
tinues to engage the attention of the Am
erican people. Nearly everyone wants to
know whether there will be a war and the
answers are somewhat conflicting.
Those who look for war assume that
Hitler is bent upon establishing a great
German empire and that his expansion
will inevitably meet with resistance, which
will begin great struggle. Some even
believe that the beginning of war depends
solely upon Hitler's conclusions as to Ger
many's chance to win
Another argument, frequently heard, is
that the internal condition Of Germany
has reached such point that the collapse
is a question of time. This being so, the
argument is that before permitting such
collapse the German leaders will risk
war.
On the side of those who maintain
that no war is near, the argument is that If
Hitler and Mussolini had intended to fight
the democratic nations, they would have
done so; the theory being that Great
Britain and France, through vast rearma-
ment programs, are catching up with the
dictator states and that every week sees
them gain in relative strength. Conse-
quently, those who accept this reasoning,
say that if Hitler and Mussolini had in
tended test of strength, they would have
taken advantage of their superiority dur
ing the past six months.
Another line of thought, advanced by
those who do not expect war, is the
thought that the economic condition of
Germany is so bad that it would be hope
less for Hitler to attempt war. Already,
it is pointed out, there is scarcity of food,
as we'll as raw materials. Gold is virtually
non-existent and the finances of the nation
seem hopeless. The argument is that Ger
many today cannot withstand a naval
blockade, that she cannot expect short,
quick and successful war and that there
fore, knowing that defeat is certain in
long war, the German leaders viii not
start to fight.

Let the warning nations linger
Pause in all their pomp and
splendor
And pay tribute to a few of us
We who persisted in the Squalus.
We sought neither fame nor
glory
AS all heroes in a story
But rather; died in preparation
To defend our glorious nation.
In the Naval history pages
There are names of men; all ages
Who have gone this way before
us
We who persisted in the Squalls.
AS we go to our new station
At our makers invitation
Toward our comrades who are

We shall always feel forgiving.
We do not regret our fate
For we all 60 soon or late;
So goodbye sweethearts and
mothers
We now go; to join our brothers.

HELPING THE HOMELESS

Monroe County is planning to do its
of the Children's Home Society of Florida,
one of the outstanding organizations of its
kind in the country.
AS explained by officials of the society
before the Rotary club and group of in
terested citizens in Key West last week,
thousands of homeless, orphan and needy
children are annually placed in the homes
of childless and bereaved men and women
throughout the state other thousands of
such children are given food and clothing
until they may become the legal wards of
worthy couples.
At such child placing agencies as that
maintained by the society at Miami and
other central points, normal and placeable
children who have lost their homes and
parents permanently, or children who
should be removed from their homes per-
manently by court procedure because of
neglect, abuse, immortality and similar
reasons are received and maintained in
healthful and happy surroundings until
proper homes can be found for them.

ganized effort and certain that the So
ciety's aims are adequately attained under
the society's present method of operations,
a Monroe County Sponsoring Committee
has been created. The Committee is
headed by the Rev. John C. Gekeler whose
effort in lettering the lot of our needy and
less fortunate citizens has been one of the
bright spots in the black cloud of economic
blight that has been blanketing our COM
munity life these last few years.
Since similar committees are being set
up in the other &c counties of the state, it
is estimated that Monroe County's spon-
sorship of the societys activities will entail
raising only $3.50 locally. This sum is
sufficient to take care of one child one year
in one of the society's receiving homes.
Death can strike unexpectedly in any
household Parents of little children do
not know when they may leave them home
less orphans in bewildering world of
harassed and worried grownups too busy
individually to rectify the cruel mistakes
of fate. Collectively these grownups, the
parents of happy little children, have it
within their power to aid homeless orphans
and needy girls and boys without putting
a severe strain on their purses. All they
have to do is contribute modestly to the
Monroe Sponsoring Committee of the Chill
dren's Home Society of Florida. 1t is a
clear call to duty; it should be pleasure
to contribute to such cause.

This column stated the other day that
during the incumbency of Judge Rogelio
Gomez as county Judge in 1886 the So
called ''hot" absentee vote had reached
the stratospheric number of 400 and that
never before had total absentee vote
reached as many as 100. The last part of
this statement was in error. The writer's
attention has been called to another alti-
tudinous absentee vote when in the cleo
ton of June 4, 1882, the number of alb
sentee votes was 315, and at that time no
hullabaloo was raised. The files of The

this is most commendable.

It seems to be flourishing and
prospects for the tobacco farmer
seem to be on the Threshold of
better times. The land looks
fine, the young plants healthy.
and of note is the fact that new
curing houses, outbuildings and
homes are being erected, which
lends an optimistic view to the
growers, the merchant and the
general inhabitants of this sec

with good prices and that's great
