It could well be applied in politics, and especially by some Senators and Representatives in Congress.

Basically, the scientific method involves considering unemotionally all the facts that seem to have any bearing on the matter under study and then trying to figure out a causes what and why. The working idea or supposition is then test ed in all manner of ways, trying to prove the supposition wrong. For instance, Doctor Jones supposes that cooking food in aluminum pans hurts the people who eat it. Unless the idea is scientifically tested- no one knows Dr. Jones is barking up the wrong tree.

If Dr. Jones were like some politicians, without any scientific disciplines in reasoning, he would have gone off half-cocked without making any tests. He would have orated against using aluminum pans. If anyone had disagreed with his untested ideas, he would have shouted louder and oftener about their danger. He would have denounced his opponent as un-American and a poisoner of little children.

Perhaps those who disagreed with him might eventually have been stopped from presenting their views at all on the grounds that any advocate of using aluminum pans or of testing their danger is himself dangerous to the commonweal. How Scientists Work This is emotional, not scientific, behavior. It doesn't provide the atmosphere in which the best way or even the facts of the case can be discovered. It is the behavior of a lynch mob as opposed to the considered opinions of the public courtroom or the laboratory. A real scientist doesn't care whether his idea is true or false.

But he does insist on finding put whether it is false before talking loudly about it. Actually, Dr. Jones would follow the scientific method instead of blindly orating about harm he hadn't proved. He would quietly set up all sorts of tests involving aluminum pans and food. Let's see the testing of Pomona Grange Hears Forestry, Wildlife Talk At Meeting A talk on forestry and wildlife was given at the Newport County Pomona Grange meeting Saturday night in Nonquit Grange Hall, Tiverton, by James Corr, Youth Committee chairman.

He spoke of the loss of watershed and wildlife because of the loss of woodland through fire. Anthony Mendonca, Agricultural Committee chairman, presented a soil conservation program and described the work being done by the Eastern R. I. Soil Conservation District in Newport County. Count Agent Fairchild showed slides illustrating the work done to prevent soil erosion in Newport County.

At the afternoon session. Mrs. Cora Richards, lecturer, conducted a safety in the home discussion. Visitors Attend Attending were members from Kent County, Old Colony South, Slate and Franklin-Worcester Pomona Granges, and Litlle Compton, Nanaquaket, Nonquit, Portsmouth and Aquidneck Subordinate Granges. A supper was served by the Nonquit Grange with Mrs.

Clara Cory in charge. The welcome address was given by Vornon Wordell, Nonquit master and the response by Mrs. Arvilla Metzler, Pomona secretary. Wilfred J. Richards, Pomona master, presided.

The May 9 meeting will be held with Nanaquakot Grange. the aluminum-pan theory becaus it is the sort of careful approac ideas and people under in vestigation deserve. Obviously, aluminum from pan can't hurt you unless the alum num gets into the Just be cause the two are near each othe doesn't mean that the pan contam inates the food. So acia, alkaline and nuetral foods are cooked ir aluminum pans and the foods ar then tested to see if they contair aluminum. Suppose a little trace is found in the food.

Then the tests must be extended to find out if that mucl aluminum or even 10 times tha amount ever hurts animals. The easiest way to do this is give some aluminum first to somt healthy animals. Untested and pos sibly dangerous new chemical can't be tried out on people righ of. Enough Animals must be usec so that even if aluminum only oc casionally causes illness, it woulc be discovered. In.

this case, the animals ca through with flying colors. Even in amounts many times that ever found in food, aluminum causec no trouble. All Facts Considered So it was tried on people. They, too, were entirely unaffected. The tests were repeated with the same results.

Then, and only then, can anyone be reasonably sure that the initial idea was wrong. In this case, of course, it is actually true that no harm arises from cooking in aluminum pans. The scientific method is essentially a discipline of the mind. The facts are considered all of them without any emotion or prejudice. Wherever possible, careful tests are done and repeated.

These may be small pilot tests to see if large-scale research is needed. Surely, the scientific approach could well be used more widely to everyone's benefit. The basic attitude of unemotional consideration of all acts could be applied to the wider arenas of life to politics, economics, and international affairs. Maybe you couldn't call it true science in those fields, but such an approach might lead us out of the woods. Even Cherry Blossom Atmosphere Fails To Soothe Savage Breast TOKYO Iff)--They were viewing the cherry blossoms Sunday, all 30 men.

They marveled at the tender blossoms, soft as down, the delicate tints, the equisite shading, the sweet fragrance diffused like a breath of heaven in Japan's springtime air. Two men traded blows. Others tried to break up the fight. In a monient all 30 were brawling. A policeman rushed in, arms swinging.

He became so engrossed in his work that when other police broke up the melee, they had to grapple him to the ground too. Eleven were jailed, charged with assault--10 brawlers and the policeman. MRS. FDR'S SECRETARY DIES NEW YORK (ffl--Miss Malvina Thompson, 61 secretary to Mrs. Franklin D.
