"M-R-DFOITD MAIL TRIBUNE. rEDFOTCT). OTtTT.Qy. FTTTAT. JULY P. 1037. PAGE ELEVEN URGED TO FLOOD CONTROL STUDY Famed Geologist Believes Mississippi River Can Be Conquered 'Macro scopic' . Method Advised. HONOLULU (UP) Tha problem created by Mississippi valley floods can be solved by tha application of the "macroscopic" method, according to Dr. T. A Jaggar, world famous geologist and volcanologlst or the U. 8. national park servlos In Hawaii. Engineering alone, Jaggar Insisted, will never bring permanent relief, but only the close co-operation of such sciences as physics, geology, chemistry, biology and meterology. together with a staff of statlstlclsns. all working "macroscoplcally." Jaggar attributes much of his success In predicting volcanic erup tions In the Hawaiian islands to the "macroscopic" method and In leis ure time has worked out an out line for Its application to the Mis sissippi valley flood problem. According to the scientist, thla aituatlon must not be viewed merely aa a local engineering problem In the delta region, but must embrace the entire Mississippi valley region with all Its tributaries, covering a region occupied by some 70,000,000 people from the Alleghanles to the Rockies. Central Bureau Suggested Dr. Jaggar'a plan for the control of the Mississippi flood problem pro vides for installations of a "macro- scope" at St. Louis or some central point, consisting of a series of lab oratories embracing every science that has anything to do with the problem. At least four laboratories handling different aspects of the problem would be accessary, he declared. The first laboratory would handle uch problems as river physics, hy draulics, gravity, geodesy and seismo logy. The second would be concerned with river geology, erosion, silting, uplift, subsidence and mapper, A third would have for Its task the, problems of chemistry, solution, sus pension, colloids and analyses. Fin ally, the fourth laboratory would be devoted entirely to river meteorology, atmosphere and moisture. According to Dr. Jsggar, such a "macroscope"" would be able to see and study the river as a whole. Just as a microscope Is the magnifier of little things, the "macroscope, he explained. Is the dlmlnufler of big things and would bring the whole Mississippi valley under the close study of a selected group of scien tists who oould see the problem as a whole. Jaggar, formerly a professor of geology at Harvard university when Franklin D. Roosevelt was a student there. Insisted that the discovery of critical and strategic places for rtvor measurement can come only from an organization of scientists that can study every contributing element In the situation. "Much To Be Learned'' "There la an Immense amount of knowledge yet to be learned about the greet river," Jaggar said. "To date. Just aa It sometimes happens that a physician treats a patient for symptoms - Instead of the real cause, which has not yet been dis covered, efforts to control the Mis sissippi floods have been centered largely on engineering feats at points where floods occur. "What Is needed la a complete study of the river valley as a whole and the scientific determination of very element that enters Into the problem. The knowledge to thla end has never been compiled but It In volves the laws of a continent, the law of mountains, the law of rain fall, of mud, of soaking, of rocks and many similar elements. "The latter can only be attained by the use of the 'macroscopic' method. This method of study has been applied to .ocean currenta. cli mates, the mapping of the form of the geold, to the study of volcanoes and there Is no reason why It could not be successfully applied to the study of the Mississippi river vsl ley as a whole for the prevention of floods." . --- - ""sai Everyday Cooking iMiracles BY VIRGINIA FRANCIS Dinelmr Bmtftmt ZUctrU Cmktry fasUiaM Take plain everyday food, add a cup of originality and a dash of imagination and you've "got some thing."

Let's vow to make mealtime as ex citing as today's fashions, or tomor row's baseball game. What started me thinking along this line was a dandy recipe for baked beans and ham that was de veloped in our Horpoint kitchen in the miracle electric range. This recipe illustrates my point to per fection, because it takes a common garden variety food like beans and actually makes 'em glamorous. You'll find it an ideal way to use up those left-over baked beans. You know how one thing leads to another. Well, this recipe led to our conjuring up a broiled tomato cheese concoction. Then nothing would do but that we should have merinsrue-toDoed butterscotch pie. And so we called it a meal a broiler-oven meal, made in precious little time.

Albert Lorenz, son of the famous "bloodless surgeon," Adolf Lorens, In an article on "American and Euro pean Orthopedics," published In the "Vienna Clinical Weekly." Dr. Lorena. an orthopedist like his father, has spent six months in the United States every year since 1933. Being an apostle of bloodless sur gery, he naturally Is disappointed by the readiness with which American doctors undertake operations In order to achieve "quick results." According to Dr. Lorens. "the en tire life In America is permeated by hysteria and mass suggestion. Hys teria, especially In women, accompan ies every orthopedic ailment. ... It la no overstatement to say that, among the better classes In America, one hardly ever meets a woman pa tient with normal psychic reactions. A doctor, guided merely by reason and logic, runs up against walls of glaas. Hence the surprising popular ity of psychoanalysis on the other side of the ocean." Land of Hysteria "American orthopedic therapeutics are," Dr. Lorenz wrote, "closely con nected with general American men tality to which both doctor and patient are subjected In equal meas ure. It is In conformity with the feminism of the country, ruled dl reotly or Indirectly by women for women, that America Is the land of mass hysteria and mass suggestion. Mass suggestion reaches Its pseudo sclentlflc climax In the strange phe nomenon of American advertising, taught as a pseudo -science at the universities, which means the acme of diabolic bamboozling. This adver tising also affects medical practice." As a gregarious animal, the Ameri can, according to Dr. Lorenz, "half subconsciously wishes to standardize and schematize all and everything, to reduce everything to a brief, com prehensive formula. ' The brilliant formulation of such slogans deceives htm on the fact that seldom In life. and hardly ever In natural sciences. the manifold and complicated con ditions can be compressed Into a brief, glittering slogan. But, because the slogan means more to him than truth, he consciously cripples the latter In favor of the former. An American considers It a personal de feat of his energy, prized above ev erything by him, if one of his enter prises proceeds slowly. 'We want quick results' is one of the proudest American slogans. ... In the domain of sciences this slogan Is a complete absurdity. Compares Two Types In his own special branch Dr. Lor ens found that "the American orth opedist with respect to the surgeon suffers from a sort of subconscious inferiority complex. The American orthopedist always takes good care to appear as surgeon-like as possible, because he fears to be thrown Into the same category with his ances tors, the be nda gists, the teachers of gymnastics and the corn operators. This may be a subconscious reason for their conspicuous readiness to operate upon their patients. Doctor and patient alike are eager for the newest operations. Displaying rich casuistry, the doctor frequently seeks to forestall a colleague, while the patient is afraid of appearing un modern and un-American, If he does not willingly submit to the new op eration." On the other hand. Dr. Lorenz readily admits that, In contrast to widespread European opinion. Amer ican science In all branchea Is long past the spoon age. and he highly praises American medical literature, although he does not approve of many American medical practices.
