ORIGIN OF LIFE
Science, Says London Professor, Has
Failed to Solve the Great Enigma
(Pall Mall Gazette J


Prof Sims Woodhead's lecture a
the Royal Society of Arts will have tn,
effect of putting an end, for a time a
least, to the wild claims of the young.
.er generation of scientists who every
year or two announce that at Least
they have made life"
Prof Woodhead held out little hope
of the secret of the origin of life being
discovered in our time; indeed, he de-
clared that even before any advance in
our study of this subject can be made
We must have great philosopeI
whose outlook is wide and who can
found his philosophy on a broad
scientific basis"
He declared that in the production
of antitoxins in the animal body we
have probably one of the strongest OF
our proofs of the existence of some
thing more than any mere chemical or
chemico-physical process. Ehrlich and
Weigert have demonstrated that these
antitoXins are the result of some spe-
cific reaction between proteid toxins
and the tissues of the body.
For my part" said Prof. Woodhead
q am convinced that the study of the
origin of life must in future be very
closely connected and concerned with
these adaptive processes that can only
be carried on with any promise of sue
cess in organisms whose tissues react
to the various nutritive, Preventative
and toxic proteids, and, in reacting
produce antibodies in great variety
but of high speciticity.
But though the vast amount of time
and knowledge that have been eXpend-
ed in pursuit of this great secret ..
life have resulted in no revelation o!
the object of search, they have at least
in an indirect way added to the sum
of our knowledge Prof Woodhead
closed his measured and sober lecture
by stating his belief in a personal God
by "rebelling against Whose laws We
are bound to suffer directly or indi-
rectly, but, obeying with the freedom
of sons, we become more like thai
from which We have come"

With all these facts in view, we are
necessarily compelled to abandon the
definition in the dictionaries and to
seek for one which will recognize that
this noble manifestation of character
belongs to man as man.
In a conventional sense the words OF
the American Sumner are strictly true
The age of chivalry has gone. The
age of humanity has come. The horse
yields the foremost place to mani"
But our contention is that the soul of
chivalry remains to animate the age
of humanity" Ist historical and acct
dental limitations have been left be-
which inspires us to think noble

and modest way.

EUROPE, CALIFORNIA AND ASIA

After much digging and much use
less throwing of dirt, which had %
come out, hut need not have been used
for argument, the root of the question
raised in California begins to appear.
The opinion that the question is eth
meal, and neither commercial nor po-
litical any farther than commerce and
politics are parts of an ethnic con-
seriousness.
Sir Valentine Chirol writes lengthilv
and of course learnedly, in the Lon
don Times, in saying that: The ul'i-
mate point in the dispute does not al
feet America alone, but is essentially
a world question. There should he
plenty of room far the surplus millions
of Japan and China in the undevelofM !
Asiatic territories for many decades TO

In this note is sounded the alarm o.
Europe; one which has been often ex-
pressed in less diplomatic ways. Th1
German kaiser expressed it a fe!
years ago in a way so much more di-
rect and forcible as to result in tn
coming of the phrase, the yellot
peril" This fear is not military any
more than political or commercial. Il
il social in origin and in essence. Il
springs out of a realization that tt
maintain Christian standards of livinl
in Christian lands, against waves o.
immigration of Asiatics with much
lower standards, would be impossible
Unless Asiatc standards could b,
raised by the contact.
Caucasian standards would of neces
sity be lowered. Prices would find tn,
new levels made by new labor condi
tons, and a lowering in the level D
prices would include lowering of tn,
standards of living and a falling away

of the West. Such is the fear of AS
iatic invasions, not only in this coun
try but in Europe Men wise only II

CHIyALRY IN MODERN LIFE
Its Spirit Belongs to All Nations and
All stages of Their Progress.

(E. j. Brailsford in the London Quar-
terly Review
Although the definition has especial
ly in view the brave deeds of the civ
ilized sons of Europe, the spirit OF
chivalry has shown itself in all nations
and in all races in all stages of their
progress. While the Crusaders were
endeayoring to wrench the holy sep
ulchre out of the hands of the Sar-
aeon whom they despised, Saladin was
sending his own physician to heal
Richard Occur de Lion, his deadly en-
envy, of his mysterious sickness.
There is probably no tribe of me-
on the face of the earth which has not
some tradition of a brave and noble
action. 1t may not be regarded as at
all extraordinary, and yet it will be
cherished and retold, and run like I
thread of gold through the memory o.

Records of an Adventurous Life" re-
Gently published, there is the story of
such deed which is worth repeating.
The Lebuga. the chief of the Island
of Ovalau was out in a big double
canoe when a sudden storm came on
and it capsized in a part known to be
infested with sharks. Immediately
