X-RAY RESEARCH
llesearchi\!‘.’g’ the field of X-rays, now
under way - Cornell University, has
led to the %covery of certain laws
governing the actpn and effgct of the
vays which shed eohsiderable light on
a present ni’bblem of great scientific
importance&flue interaction between
radiant energy and matter. ‘
Dr. F. K. Richtinyer, professor of
physics at ~ Cornell, has established
that the absorption of X-rays in mat
ter is propdrtional to the cube of their
wave lengt;h._ His graduate students
have demonstrated, to one part in
ten thousand, that no change in ab
sorption of the rays is produced when
iron is magnetized; that there is a
slight change as the tempemtunre of
the absorber is raised, and that
chemical eombination seems to
change the absorption.
The students also are working on
the problem of scattering X-rays,
which are spread in much the same
manner as d@ust in a sun beam csat
ters light; the effect of various fac
tors, such as temperature, magnetic
condition and chemical combination,
ou absorption, and the polarization of
X-rays. '
Professor Richtmyer asserts the ex
periments thus far have led to no
practical results, and that they were
undertaken with no thought of their
appllcalion-’ffh industry or elsewhere,
except gs they have a direct bearing
on lscienllfic'theorles. 1
“The pr'obiems we are studying.‘
however, may have a practical eftecti
upon the lives of the future genera.
tiong”, he ‘said. “For instance, if we!
kpew absolutely what the effect of
XNaays upfiiMnu:-no--lght have
gomewhat more of a clue as to wheth-
er X-rays could cure cancer, We can
not anticipate the commercial or
other problems of the future, but we
can determine and formulate the
laws of nature with the confident ex
pectation that future generations will
make use of these laws In solving
their problems.”
Roentgen quite accidentally discov
ered X-rays in 1869 when he was 'work
ing on the discharge of electricity
through evacuated tubes, Professor
Richtmyer pointed out, “It is ahso
lutely certain that if Roentgen had
been interested in finding some way
to assist surgeons in setting bones,
he would never have been studying
vacuum tubes and electricity. Yet out
of his accidental discovery came this
new tool of X-rays which hag revolu
tionized certain phases of medical
practice.
“Thus the scientlst never knows
how close he may be to some mighty
discovery. The laboratory experi
ments of today may suddenly divulge
one of the great laws of Nature vhich
heretofore had been hidden.” '
THE FARMERS’ POLITICS
That radical western farming group
ay they are' called for some reason,
better join hands with southern ag
ricultural forces and seek their reme
dies at the ballot box in the next na
tional elections. Class legislation is
now stylish, we know, and the farmer
la the latger and more powerful ele
ment -at the ballot hox and yet he
hasn’t cooperative sense enough in
his poor 'head to understand that the
farmer can have what he wants if he
but will.
‘ Wealth huddles all the manufactur
ing interests into one pen, puts up
Ia great pool as an election slush fund
—and controls the government. That's
all the science there is in the republi
can political program. That’s all
there can be. But republican control
of the governoent has meant rank
discrimination in favor of the .manu-‘
facturing interests—the trusts and
great combines. It has been possible
to lay greedy hands upon every com
modity we have under this republican
rule.
’ President Coolidge Is set against
farm relfef. He calls it radical—and
!speclal legislation for any one classl
is radlcPl in ity every nature. It is
that with regard to the wealthy trust
‘operators. but they have money
enough to hire it to be called legiti
mate business. 'Western farmers who
are seeking relief are not radicals.
They are simply moved by hard, com
mon sense views and are seeking to
get out from under the injustices im
posed by the manufacturing interests
who levy preposterous tribute in thel
Fordney-McCumber tariff. The west
ern fanmer is tiring of paying this
trlbutev on evergthing he has to buy
in the open American market. Peo
ple who believe in justice ang fair
play have no right to criticise the
westarn farmer or the southern farm
er, or the farmer anywhere in this
coumtry for protesting.
There isn't going to be any farm re
lief. There can be none in the form
of class legislation that is safe. And
just now there can be no farm relief
that will set the farmer on the same
footing with other American business
because he will require a subsidy
equal to that which goes to the man
ufacturing in the Fordney-McCumber
tariff law. When he asks for that,
then the manufacturing interests
which are in charge of the republican
party and the government will raise
objections. The wealthy are not go
ing to agree to any farming esual foot
ing either by remedial legislation or
control of the government,
That makes the farmer's only
course the ballot box. 'And the farm
er cannot have that remedy unless
all farming interests the country over
pool their interests, name a farmer
candidate who is capable of leader
ship, and then elect him. Control of
the congress isn't as hard a task as
that. The farming interests 'would
control congress today if they had a
man in the White House who had a
lpar(lcle of sympathy. Coolidge knows
iwho gave him his office. He isn't go
ing to let justice or fair play or any
}thlng ‘else separate him from loyaity
‘to the trusts and the special interests
lthat domiunate his. party. far
When the south and west learn
front bearing heavy hurdens that their
}lntercatn are one and the same, they
will vote in that light and lift the
Fordney-McCumber tariff laws, They
‘can get rellef by that procedure and‘
only that, That kind of campalgn‘
sent Wilson into offcle In 1914 and
gave this country tha greatest farm
ing properity it has ever enjoyed.
TEACHING FILIPINO WOMEN
Mra., Sofia Reyes de Veyra, wife of
the former resident commissioner at
Washington, takes much pride in be
ing the pioneer in the work of teach
ing Filipino women to be of service in
improving health and sanitation con
ditions in the Philippine Islands.
In 1907, in conjunction with an
American woman, Miss Mary E.
Coleéman, Mrs, de Veyar organized the
first training schoel for nurses. To
day there are nearly 1,000 Filipino
trained nurses in the islands who are
distributed thrdughuot virtually every
province of the archipelago. She al
-80 has taken great interest in the or
ganization of some 400 women’s clubs
in the Philippines, all of which seck
to uplift the native women.
While uml a yoafig teachér she was
instrumental in starting the first do
mitory for girls at Bconhd. ,bccident
al Negro province,, = '
Mrs. de Veyra fiasj ‘educated in a
prlvgte school in Iloilo, which for
‘more than forty years has heen con
)ducted by the five sisters of the chief
Tjustlce of -the Philippine supreme
supreme court, Ramon Avencena. Her
inetruction at the school was entire
ly in Spanish, but in order to learn
English she exchanged her Spanish
for English instruction with an Amer
ican teacher shortly after American
occupation,
Six years residence in Washington
while her husband was resident com
missioner gave her an opportunity to
acquire muchk information which she
is now employing for the benefit of
her own people. She became the
head of the domestic science depart
ment of Centro Escolar de Senoritas,
a school of girls, in which an Ameri
can cooking outfit is used in demon
stration.
“If T can be of some as:istance in
teaching my pcople to eat proper
food and in building up the health and
sanitary conditionss of my country, I
shall feel that 1 have dcne something
really worth while,” said Mrs. de
Veyra. |
She is a strong believer in woman
suffrage and hopcs that the recom
mendations of Governor Gencral
Wood to the legislature for the pas
sage of a suffrage bill will be acted
upon favorably.
“Already Filipino wcmen have
equality with men in everything ex
cept the ballot,” declared Mrs. de
Veyra. “When they marry they go in
to partnership Wwith their husbands,

TL A TRIBUTE TO FARM MOTHERS
Progressive Farmer: |
We know of no custom that Is murel
appealing to the best impulses of the
heart than the setting aside each year
of one spring Sabbath as “Mothers’
Day.” And certainly no mothers in
all the world deserve more apprecia
‘tion than farm mothers, As {that elo
‘quent Georgian, the late Senator Thom ’
as B. Watson said on one occasion:—-—'
i “There are thousands of devoted
iand absolutely admirable wives and'
\mothers in our cities, in our towns,
‘and in our villages, and it gives me
pleasure and pride to testify to the
fact; but if you ask me to carry you
to the home of the true wife and the
true mother, one who loses herself en
tirely in the existence of her husband
@and her children, one who is the first
to rise in the morning and the last to
retire at night, one who is always at
her post of duty and who carries up
on her shoulders the burdens of both
hushand and children, one who i
keeper of the household and its good
angel, utterly unselfish, happy in mak
ing others happy, with no thought of
fashionable pleasures, perfectly con
tent in quiet home life in which she
does mnobody harm and everybody
good, taking as many thorns as she
can from the pathway of her hushand
and strewing it with as many roses
as possible, strengthening him by her
inspiration as he goes forward to
fight the battle of life, smoothing the
pillcw upon which he rests his tired
head when he comes home, tenderly
rearing the boys and girls who will in
‘t'urn go away from the door, some
day for the last time—the boy to be
come a good soldier in life's contin
uouy warfare, and the firl to become
uous warfare, and the girl to become

‘What Tom Watson said is true; we
all know it. It only remains for us to
ask ourselves whether we are doing
what we should to show our apprecia
tion of the work and love of farm
mothers. Is the kitchen as well equip
ped with labor-saving conveniences as
it ought to be? Have we really in
stalled the most modern water and
light systems we can afford? Does
the farm mother get a real vacation
once a year? Do we cooperate with
her as much as we might in giving ex
pressoin to her love of the beautiru:

Is there some source of cash income
the farm mother can claim as her
very own? Is her counsel sought
about all matters affecting the wel
fare of the fanm and family? Are
husband and children thoughtful of

which will lighten all her burdens and
