Physics in a "New-Deal'
WHEN the writer's father attended academy some sixty
years ago he studied "Natural Philosophy". His text
book remained in the family library; out by the time this
writer attended high school no such subject was taught. The
title was changed to "Physics"; and the change in content
of textbooks was as radical as the change in the titles. For
t "Natural Philosophy", as we recall it, was confined to me
chanics, laws of motion, and a few other of the rudiments
of physical science as taught in that day. The chapter on
electricity was very brief.
Now the third generation comes along and has brought
home his textbook. The high school has adopted a new book:
"The New Physics in Everyday Life", and what a change it
is from Hoadley's "Physics" which flowered aboai the turn
of the century! Take the definition of "matter", once 30
jxsitive; and now:
i "Matter may be defined in a provisional way . . .
What has happened to the certitude of science? And the
atom is no longer the unit of matter. "Electron" is a new
word whose meaning the scientists are just now exploring.
"Thfs text for high school students doesnt g very fax into
new theories of matter. It is old-fashioned euought to clirjg
to ether. It .mentions the quantum theory, but not relativity.
Here are matters which the new physics includes: Aero
dynamics radio, although it is but an extension of the wire
less telegraphy which Marconi discovered in the W; elec
trical radiations including the new rays, alpha, gamma, et
aL, though these were forecast by the X-rays discovered by
William Roentgen in 1895, and radium.
However there is not the difference in the "new physics"
over the physics of 130 that there was in the latter over
the "natural philosophy- of the 1870's.
Much of the scienee of physics is of ancient origin, going
back to "where man first learned to use a pole to pry up a
rock, or a wheel to move his burdens with. We see many f am- j
iliars is this volume: the lever, the theraiarneter, the prism.
Newton's lava of motion are still in good standing; and
Galileo is pictured with Ms law of faJJhrg bodies. Familiar
names appear : Pascal's law of hydraulic pressure ; Archi
medes' principle, Boyle's law; the kinetic theory of gasses,
the Leyden jar; erg; ampere and calorie; and names like
Hertz and Maxwell and Faraday azui Edison. The problems
at the ends of the chapters look as forbidding, as they used
to in the older texts.
This partkalar vslmne is written by WUHa D. Hender
son of the University of Michigan; and deserves commenda
tion fear its presentation of physical theories and laws in plain
language for high school youth; and for its wealth cf mate
rial showinjr the application 'of physical laws to practical
ends. This might expected from the publishers, Lyons and
Carnahan, who as we recall, began bashaess pobBshmg a
good bookkeeping system.

Mrs. Farrell sniffed. She picked
up her basket and started out. Mom
said: "And it's mnch. better for
Tommy to be playing; the golf with
bis school chums than.it is to be
loafing; at the pool room like most
of the boys round here.'
Mrs. Farrell turned quickly. "If;
it's my Joie you're hinting about
you can just change your tune, Mis'
Randolph; my Joie is working at
an honest job instead of wessrinri
d idles in public"
-Why Mis' Farrell P Mora1
started to say more; but the irate
mti. Farreu spoke again: "And as
far as them millionaires is con
cerned I always say it's better to
go around with the devil you know
than the. devil you don't know.
Then she walked out, swishing
her skirts. Mom had not been pre
pared for such a show of temper.
"Never mind her," Mrs. Johnson
consoled, "she Just ienlo

Mrs. Johnson told hex husband.
"He was cut out for a bum,1 the
somewhat subdued Mr. Johnson
corrected. It was like Mrs. Johnson
always said, her husband didn't talk
much but ho thought n lot.
Tommy had made the town
clothes-conscious without half-trying;
but if the subject was moot
throughout the town in general it
was almost critical within the Ran
dolph household. Pop looked aghast
when ho had first seen Tommy in
his sport regalia; hut before he
could say anything- Undo Louie had
so plainly indicated that he thought
thsf Fop had immediately gone
ovtflr to Tommy's side.
Uncle Louie was growing sour.
As time had come for Tommy's re
turn Mora had begun to hint that

which was hard for her to do be
cause she knew he didnt have
much neoey; in fact ho owed a big
bill at the hoteL Undo Louie had
let it be known that he would con
aider snaring his room with Tommy
but Mom knew that would never
do; then she had dropped a hint to
Pete but Pete had shaken his head
very firmly. :
Anyhow Pete needed his rest and
Uncle Louie not only snored but
had to get up at night to drink
hot water whenever his stomach
bothered him; and Pete was alsot
working; at the garage a few hours
each day and when ho did get to
bed after his two jobs he couldn't
be bothered by Uncle Louie. Then
Uncle Louie! played hie last card:
since Pop and Pete worted on. dif
ferent shifts he would bo w3Sae
to sleep in Pete's bed one weeki
and on the couch in the front room

in a hurry. ;

gasped, "just imagine I"
Tommy's clothes attracted more
attention in the town than since
Loretto Grenato had run off with
a show company and come back a
year later to establish a profound
influence upon junior feminine
styles for many years to come. His
was not the first knickerbocker suit
but it was the first white one and
he was the first to appear almost
continuously in this garb. Further
more, others -of the young bloods,
including some who did not go to
college, also began to wear them
although none of theirs had the
flair of Tommy's, as they were
mostly the short pants which came
extra with sport suits.
It wasn't just knickers, either;
for the first Sunday evening he was
at home Tommy made his appear
ance in cream flannels and a blue
coat, just like the musical comedy
actors wore when they used to
eome to the Elysium Theatre before
it had been turned into a movie
bouse. And it wasn't just the
slothes he wore but the manner in
tvhkh'he wore them, as it there
taey weren't half-filled anrjfcow:
and if Al Smith got in and Uncle
Xouie got the postmaster's Job he
would pay in full for he was honest
na the day was long whenever be
nod the money to nay.
But .he was back for meals most
of the time and he was there when
iommy first came in with the white
knickers; he was ill-tempered any
how because it happened to be
Thursday night and that was the
night Pop shaved and Mom always
neia supper up Decease she believed
that the head of the house should
always be at the table when the
vittles were served hot and Pop be
lieved so, too. The boys always re
spected this custom and Mom saw
no reason why Uncle Louie couldn't
wait a half-hour being as he had
done nothing but wait all day any
how and had nothing else to do. In
fact Uncle Louie had spent most
of his life waiting for something.
wouia never take a job like any-
J eise was a big job or noth
ing for Uncle Louie.
So Uncle Louie was waiting near
the table, which Mom had set in
the dining room on account of the
first night Tommy was home, when
Tommy came in;
"Dinner not ready?"
"It's ready but the km l.nt "
Uncle Louie said tartly. "Anyhow
it's supper where I coma from.
What kind of a monkey suit ia
that!"
Tommy looked at him kind of
cold as if he were an insect. Pop's
eyes liked to have popped out when
ho saw Tommy but before ho could
say anything Mom said quickly:
"Everybody get ready to sit down.
Uncle Louie hurried to bis seat;
Tommy looked; at .him and Mom
was afraid he j was going to say
something because Undo Louie had
Tommy's seat; but she looked at .
Tommy so ho wouldn't make
trouble and said: 's
"Here, Tommy, - sit in Pete's
seat." -
Tommy did; and Pop came in,
wearing a fresh blue shirt and
looking; clean and handsome like he
always did whenever he shaved.
He looked at Uncle Louie and said:
"What's the matter with that
suit!".
Undo Louie laughed very nasty
and said: "Everybody in town's
talking about him. He's disgracing
us."
Mora almost dropped the hot
gravy bowl before she. got it on
the table. Tommy was drawing
back from the table with those nar
row eyes again; but before he could
do anything Pop pounded his fist
on the table so that the dishes rat
tied and the gravy almost pitched
over the side of the dish.
"Everybody in town's been talk
ing about them white ties of yours
far forty years,1 Pop shouted, "and
if we ain't disgraced by them we
never will be."
Undo Louie laughed sarcastic.
"Ton should talk with them blue
shirts and running around in your
ox I suppose nobody ever talked
about you."
"Here," Mom said to Pop, "be
still, alt as! you, and have some of
this grab beaore it gets cold."
But Pep wnsst throuea. Verv
pointedly he said, glaring at Cade'
Louie: "Wen, there aint amy laws
forcing you to look at saytamig
'round here."
Quickly, Uncle Louie pushed back
his chair and .arose. Mem shook her
head and couldnt think of anything
to say. Unde Louie shouted: "J
dent have to be insulted like Oat
by aayboay. I know when I'm not
wanted."
He readied for his hat, which he
always had a habit of putting right
under his chair, and started to walk
out. He walked kind of slow? then
Mom thought of something: to say:
"Uncle Louie, you're not going
without your supper."
"Somebody's got to apologise be
fore I come back," he stated stout
ly. "I ain't used to being treated
like that." He looked at Pop. Mom
looked at Pop. Pop reached for the
potatoes.
"YouTl wait till hell freezes
over," be said. Uncle Louie marched
out. Mom looked at Tommy. He
was smiling.
"Attaboy, Father," he said.
Pop looked up at him, smiling a
little, as if they had an understand
ing. Mom was glad of it, even if
poor Undo Louie had to go with
out his supper but she would save
a little food and he would probably
come back after they had all gone
out.
Pop was a Ettle puzzled, though,
how to take the Father tlta vJt

Protect Residential Zoning

In this particular case the major portion of the lot which

be reserved for the purposes which the zone defines.
Salem should grow more and more beautiful as the years
pass. Decrepit buildings should be torn down and not moved
alongside attractive homes. The zoning commission and the
city council should go very slow before allowing any retro

On Dog Valuation;
$50 is Assessed
Jury sitting in the dog-killing
damage action brought by W. M
Reid against D. W. Push found
against Pugh In the sum of $50
after about a half hour of delib
eration. The case occupied all of
yestrday in Justice of the Peace
Hayden's court. Reid sought 3100
aamages ior alleged klUlng of a
German police dog last June 22.
Testimony as to determination
of the value of a dog. brought
rays of bumor Into the trial. A
aog "expert" Introduced hv de
fense stated that his valuation of
dog wal guided by "whatever
he could get any sucker to pay
for it."
Reid himself stated he placed
1 10 valuation on the dog in
Question because "2100 is an'
easy figure to use; you Just need
a figure one and two zeros." Reid
testified he paid: 230 for the dog
a month before It was found dead
in front of the Pugh residence.
There was no

though Henry George declared he
saw, from a distance of four
blocks away, Pugh in front of his
house on the morning in ques

shotgun in his arm; George said.
adding that about that time he
heard a shot and the cries of a
dog. Defense attempted to im
peach this witness.
Pugh denied shooting the dog.
but did not attempt to set up an
alibi. He declared he had no rec

' V V li ;,V 'ir
(Continuing from yesterday:)
The late medical term for moun
tain sickness Is puna sickness,'
from puna, a cold arid table land
in the Andes. It la like seasick
ness, some persons more suscept
ible to It than others, and. at dif
ferent altitudes. Men making, their
homes on high mountain regions
are as susceptible to puna sickness
at still higher levels as those from
the plains countries; even, it
seems, in some cases, more so.
Any way, Mrs. Moores got puna
sickness, then only known as
mountain sickness, and was un
able to reach Jefferson's highest
points, and her husband was oblig
ed to halt with her.
(From the same root word
comes punaluan, a word applied
to certain tribes of the natives of
Hawaii; a type of family marriage
tin which they have- wires and hus
bands in common; every man the
husband of every woman and
every woman the wife of every
man on a level; like a table
land. But that is aside from the
conquest of Jefferson's Upmost
top or topmost tip.)
S
Another word bergschrund,
heard lately in connection with
what happened to the luckless
three young men on Labor Day.
It is from two German words,
berg, mountain, and schrund, a
cleft, crevice or gap; or the verb,
schrunden, to gape, crack or split.
Or the female form of schrund,
schrunde. So a bergschrund, or
bergschrunde, is a mountain gap,
cleft or crevice, or crack or gape
or split, applied to- an srralanche
that breaks at eome point, and
leaves a sce of great danger to
mountain climbers.
Major Roblln remembers well
Lem Gates, guide on both his as
cents; remembers him with affec
tionate thoughts. Especially on
the second dimb, when the thun
der storm described by Judge Bur-,
nett was encountered. They car
ried alpenstocks shod with steel,
and tnH steel drew the electricity
of the lightning flashes; a terror
izing experience. The members of
the party could feel every bolt.
Lem Gates was a tail, wiry man
with black hair and eyes. Every
lightning flash caused Lem to
jump as If he were shot, and made
his black hair stand on end, liko
the "bristles of the fretful porcu
pine." In the first trip (July), Major
Roblin recalls, they encountered
sheet ice forming what is known
as a chimney. This was about a
third of the way up the pinnacle.
Not a true chimney, but having
no bottom. It would not hare been
a pleasant chimney to fall Into
bottomless. Not like a Santa Claus
chimney with a place to land. The
party of August found no chim
ney there. It had fallen into the
eternal depths below.
On the July trip they cut a
large green jack pine pole about
eight feet long and planted it on
the topmost point, with an Ameri
can flag fastened to it with some
electric lighting wire. On the sec
ond (August) trip, they could not
see the flag from the base of the
pinnacle. The high winds had bent
the green pole almost flat.
S
Among his harrowing experien
ces near the top of Jefferson, Ma
jor Roblln has reasons to recall
one especially. He stepped off of
a rock onto frozen snow and be
gan to slide. His alpenstock would
not hold; finally he got the alpen
stock firmly between his legs,
gripping it with both hands, and
rode it until he made it get be
neath the surface of the Icy sub
stance and help to halt his mad
career to destruction and was
able to crawl back to a safer posi
tion, after tense moments the
recollection of which are like the
nightmare of a bad dream to this
day.

Returning, to his latest1 task
with tangled land titles of the
California Indians; not alone the
"Mission" Indians of the southern
portion all the original . inhabi
tants of that state, for the old
Spanish Catholic missionary work
touched every, tribe. And there
were originally 135 s e p a r a t e
groups with as many tongues or
dialects. -
There were 21 mission estab
lishments, reaching from. San
Diego to Sonoma, a day's horse
back ride apart They "converted"
in some measure 80,000 Indians;
taught thousands of them to pur
sue productive labor, and many
of them to foUow more or less ef
ficiently scores of different trades,
until they were able to erect great
groups of buildings and surround
them with fields of grain, or
chards and vineyards and gardens,
and become herders of literally in
numerable cattle on a thousand
hills, and to breed and train vast
bands of horses, many of them of
strains that for speed and endur
ance have not been excelled even
by the finest of the famed steeds -of
Arabia. Their line outraced all
the blue blooded thoroughbreds in
the pony express that ran ahead
of the winds of the prairies and
the arrows of the savages in the
early sixties.
V .
Mexico seceded from Spain in
1821; the c r r u p t officials of
Mexican rule robbed and ravished'
the old missions, and outraged
every former toil gained right of
the , Indians. The ruthless
Mexican governors lavishly be
stowed upon their grandee favor
ites land grants that ran to dimen
sions .In d o 31 a I n that covered
square miles equaling the size of
states in New England.
? - Thai United States, after the
Mexican war, recognized the land
grants of ,the, grandees, without
the least regard for a single right
of the original owners, the In
dians. Bad enough, God knows,
have been the treatment of other
Indians In the United States; in
California' badness outdid itself,
100 per cent,
m U
Finally. In 1851-2. 18 treaties
were made, with the 135 tribes or
groups; solemnly signed and seal
ed, granting many thousands or
acres of land left out of the gran
dees vast domains. The treaties
went before the- U. S. senate. The
war of the states was in the mak
ing. Gold had been discovered ia
California. The geld-mad Inr ush
ers from ail the earth did not
want the Indians to have the lands
covered by the treaties. Gold
might be "in them thar hills."
They besieged congress, and that
body was at grips over sectional
differences. The 18 treaties were
not ratified; not one of them; not
one to this day.
m m m
Uncle . Sam's solemn contracts
became scraps of paper. They so
remain.. But there is a ray ef hope
ahead for the remnants of the
