NONSENSE ABOUT
DEGENERACY

There is one word in our language
which have come to hate with a viru-
lence far greater than that reserved
Tor many mortal sins: the word de
generate. First popularized by half
educated coNcomb, who tried to explain
the universe in terms of q before

now genius, insanity and crime are all
Jumped under the one oVerworked
heading, This is an extreme instance
or course. The term is usually applied
10 criminals-any sort of criminals.
The man who breaks the law-and gets
caught--is not simply one of us who
has gone wrong, but n degenerate
creature apart, being outside the pale
OF human sympathy. This hand-me-
down moral classification is backed by
host of physical signs" stigmata of
degeneration" they are called. A
lobeless ear gives you so many points
toward Lombrosn diploma OF degen-
eracy; low forehead. SO many; a high
palate, so many; defects of hearing
mouth breathing insenstive skin, all
have their assigned value. On every
hand we are asked to drop the old
fashioned notion that man is a re-
sponsibe creature that he belongs to
the "cducabilia." as Cuvier would say,
and IS capable of learning, even though
with stripes. Instead we are told that
man Is mere test tube full of diverse
moral or immoral chemicals and that
tho expert can foretel the inevitable
reaction by the color OF the hair and
the cut of the front teeth
There is an element Of truth in all
this. There are human beings whose
natures are SO warped that they can-
not go straight. But these unfortu
mates. while they furnish many of our
sensational n-jalderstandable crimes,
are really only tiny proportion az or

There is only one flag that the sun

American flag Is a close second, for
the sun during half the year never sets

the year round and the other during
exactly half the year, from March % to
Sept. %.
OF course 1t is true that on no day at
all during the year can the sun be seen
from any two points Of continental
United States at all times during a
period Of twenty-four hours. But the
United States naval observatory has
made careful calculations which by in
