HOOVER PLAN FOR GERMANY

Since it was first announced that former
President Herbert Hoover was TO visit
Germany 10 appraise food and collateral
problems, as the personal representative
OF President Truman, the scope of his in
vestigations has been extended. He will
not only study the food needs of the Reich
he will also develop a plan for recon

will launch an unrestricted survey Of the

HOW o COMBINE

AS we told you in a previous
article. only about a hundred diff
ferent kinds of atoms, or chemical
elements, have been discovered.
Every bit of matter in the world
is made up of some combination
of these into molecules. Although
they. are all different, nevertheless
some show d sort of family rela-
tionship.
Atoms or chemical elements are
listed in the order of weight. as
shown in the partial table below.
The first column tells the name OF
the atom. Tho next column gives
the usual abbreviation of the name,
or its chemical symbol. Then fol-
lows the atomic number, which
ranks the atom in order OF weight.
Next is the atomic weight. using
as a basis the hydrogen atom. with
weight i. For example. the helium
atom, being the second on the list
Cor the second lightest), has 2
as its atomic number. It's atomic
weight, 4, means that If is four
times as heavy as the lightest
atom, hydrogen. The letter in the
last column tells whether the atom
ordinarily joins with other identical
atoms to form a metal ND, a non
metal N(, a gas 60, a liquid
d., or various substances 90 ac-
cording to the way in which the
atoms are Joined.

ACCIDENT DEATH TOLL

Plane, train and bus fatalities have beer
so conspicuous in the news for some time
the death toll in motor vehicle accidents
has been partially crowded aside, save as
community newspapers have recorded
fatalities in their circulation areas. Vel
highway and street deaths were more
numerous in 1916 than in either OF the
other means Of transportation.
The National Safely Council reports
automobile fatalities rose TO $4,000 mo
torists and passengers last year, an in
crease Of l9 per cent. Council statisticians
estimate the automobile and taxi toll was
I2.9 per hundred million passenger miles
Plane deaths for the same mileage were
IL persons. Rail deaths figure about .l6
and buses II.
The staiistiCians have found that one
in every thirteen persons IN the United
States suffered disabling accidents in
1916. A total Of 100000 persons were
injured in all forms Of accident.
There is nc way 10 place a value on
human life, but the Council estimates thai
recorded accidents cost the nation $780,
100000.
What is TO be done TO stop this waste
Of life and properly. To a large extent it
is a personal problem, so far as motor
vehicle operation is concerned.
There are some unavoidable accidents.
AT least court records so declare. But
with this exception, the person behind a
steering wheel on the highways or the
streets who is always alert 10 the traffic
sltG4tion, who lakes no chances, who
obeYS common sense rules of driving,
reaches his or her destination whole and
healthy.

made. Mr.. Hoover's life. before President
Wilson called him into the governments
service and later while he was President,
was devoted to great engineering under
takings. He displayed exceptional under
standing Of the European food needs fol-
lowing the First World War and later Of
administering relief in flood disasters at
home.
This experience coupled with his engi-
neering skill land GermanY's rehabilita-
lion is as much an engineering as any
other kind of problem) fits him tor his
present task. We may depend upon ii
that the Hoover plan" for Germany will
be consistent with the countrYs needs and
ability TO help itself, so far as the area
occupied by American and British forces
is concerned.
Not even he can hope TO do much tor
eastern Germany, where the Russians are
in control.

SHRINE PAPER DRIVE

The time is all TOO short for the people
in this Immediate vicinity 10 hoard a
hundred thousand pounds Of waste paper.
the goal set by the Arab Shrine Club
for their solicitation on February l6. But
If everybody pitches in with good will
the total may not only be reached bui
topped.
And it is right that everybody should
help, considering the use TO be made Of
the revenue from the sale Of the paper
collected. Every penny, as the Shrine Club
has emphasized, is TO go TO the New Han
over High School Band which in turn will
apply ii 10 purchasing new and needed
uniforms for members.
The Pigh School Band, among the bes
in the state, has been under the handi
cap Of not having sufficient uniforms fol
the personnel far TOO long Here is youl
chance. and ii will not cost you a cent
All you are expected 10 do is hoard al
waste paper, including magazines, tie i
tightly into bundles for convenient handl
ing, and have if at the curb the morninl
Of Sunday week.

every last resident, and the Shrine Clu]

OFF THE TRACK. AS USUAL

Senator Taft objects TO an extension OF
wartime controls as requested by Presi-
dent Truman in a special message to
CONGRESS. The Senator has taken a posi-
tive stand but with his customary shallow
ness of thought offers a poor excuse for SO
doing.
That is one Of the greatest faults Of the
Ohio Senator. Even if he occasionally
thinks right he does moi know how TO voice
his thought convincinglY.
In the present case, after explaining
that the republican majority in Congress
proposes TO deal separately with certain
controls, notably sugar and perhaps coal,
he adds: Il won't go along with the grant
Of powers TO meet a national emergency
that we do not now foresee."
He might as we'll have said he doesn't
believe he has a backbone because he
can't see it.
With conditions what they are. it is
inevitable that emergencies will arise
with which the President must deal. II
he lacks legislative authority TO act he
must appeal TO Congress as each case
arises and Congress is not famous for
quick action.
We are not offering unlimited defense
Of the President, nor holding that the con-
trolls he seeks TO retain are the best, but
we do believe that because Of the dis
|turbed national and international situation
it might be hazardous TO let the Second
Warpower Act expire on March 81, as it
is now destined TO do.
We do not like administrative controls
more than the next person, and wish they
could all be set aside, but until the ship
Of state stops rocking we cannot go along
with Mr.. Taffs flimsy reasoning. If he
cannot ~foresee emergencies in the future,
at least during the next year, it is be-
cause he is voluntarily blind.
Certainly he is not capable Of providing
a cure-alI policy as a substitute for Presi-
dent Truman's plan.
Inasmuch as the Chief Executive has OF
late displayed the sound judgment re-
uuired by the office he holds, WE have
no reason TO assume he would misuse
the authority he requests.

By IRVING DESFOR
FACES OF DESTINY, por.

traits by Karsch (Ziff-Davis).
Yousuf Karsch, an Armenian
photographer. has climbed to inter-
national fame on the faces Of the
worlds most newsworthy %personali-
ties. Take a look at his new book,
and see why he is the most sought
after and most highly paid portrait
photographer.
The book unfolds revealing
glimpseS of people we have seen
time and again in countless news
pictures. But these are portraits
with insight into personalities
missing from news pictures. whose
best defence might well be that
they we're never reproduced as
large or with the fine engravings
seen here. But there'd still be a
difference - in lighting, textures,
posing and technical ability.
The common denominator of
almost every n of the pictures
seems to have been simplicity and
su~bordination of background. A
salient feature of Karsch's por-
traits seems to be the attention he
has given in almost all cases to his
subjects hands. With each of the
IS studies, he has added an anec-
dotal biographical note that Is in
teresting reading in its own right.
His headquarters are in Ottawa.
Canada, but Boston, where he
spent his apprenticeship, gets due
credit as a Photographic founda-
ton. But one question still bothers
me. What photographer was good
enough. to take Karsch's portrait
which appears in this book?
