A bright girl who is taking . special
course in natural science in one of the
woman's colleges has elevated her opinion of
humankind considerably since she began
her studies. s'Talk about the wickedness of
human beings!' she wrote back home, not
long ago, 'it isn't circumstance to the N.

watching some of the Ameba under the

one enterprising member, they steal each
others wives and children and lie and rob
and practice polygamy and they're slyer

There is . story that a testy old land
holder in the District of Columbia often
said to our first President when he was
planning the Citv of Magnificent Distances:
'Mr. Washington, I'd like to know what
