MOONEY CASE
RECEIVES BID
(By The Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, Nov. 12, The Su
preme Court of the United States

Mooney in his attempt to escape the

WASHINGTON
CURRENT
COMMENT
(Continued From Page One) •
ing jury? Such a body at least
cannot be charged with being able
to think of but one thing at a time.
Neither the public not the accused
is likely to suffer from the effects
of a deliberative body which bases
its decisions on the sound theory
of hits and home runs and has its
eyes open for fouls and errors.
The first known instance of re
vival of a human being actually
dead, was reported from Moscow,
Russia. A blood transfusion brot
back to life for two minutes a man
who had been dead three hours af
ter committing suicide by hanging.
The recently made lens for a tele
scope, about twenty feet across, is
described in the papers as being
shaped like a slice of canned pine
apple with a hole in the center, a
clear and understandable statement
which ought to be enlarged, framed
andv hung before the eyes of every
scientific or technical man who has
occasion to put his ideas across to
a public not familiar with the jar
gon of his particular trade or pro
fession. When doctors, for instance,
talk like the man who explained
the structure of the telescope, we
shall know what really is the mat
ter with us.
