League of Women Voters President Says
Human Intelligence Need Know No Bounds
Distinguished civic leader, Mrs. John G. Lee of Washington, D. C.
reveals her personal creed. This is one of a series of statements
prepnrerf. for broadcast h thinking, useful people in all walks of
lite. The program is presented by Edward R. Murrow over KERG ot

He was an Inventor and a scientist

loved and was greatly stimulated

was keen though kindly and his en

was asked how he got. the idea for

"hy watching the way water be

This simple statement opened up
for me a whole realm of ideas
which led to a firm belief that hu

intelligence we will move progres
sively closer to an understanding
of man and of the universe around

Although the equinox may give us
no immediate and noticeable wea
ther changes, yet it does mark the
time after which such changes are
apt to occur, since the sun has
reached the sky position when Ihe
nights thereafter become longer
than the days as the sun is getting
farther south.
Since the earth's rotational axis
is inclined 23V4 degrees from its
upright position in the annual orbit,
the. sun seems to us to make its
daily trip across different parts of
the sky at various seasons. On Dec.
22, old Sol rises far toward the
southeast, is low in the. south at
noon, and sets well toward the
southwest. On .June 22, these three
positions become "far toward the
northeast," "very high in the
south," and "far toward the northwest."
Now let us consider that we can
draw a white curve entirely across
the blue of the summer sky to
mark the apparent track of the sun
during the longest June day; and
another for the shortest winter day.
These curves will be 47 degrees
apart, or twice 23V4 degrees. Mid
way between them we draw anoth
er linp. This is the approximate
celestial equator and is the sun's
path on the dates of the equinoxes.
