ADVENTURES STILL AHEAD

There are no e worlds to discover.
The frontier has gone. The big woods
and big game have disappeared. Ad-
venture Is dead. It's become a hum
drum, dull old world with nothing for
the red blood of youth to do. So walls
the spirit Of adolescence, seeking a
comforter 1t is sure cannot comfort.
+ Why, bless you, there are more
worlds than ever before to discover.
We've just begun to get the tools to
discover them with. Every now and
then somebody's telescope picks up un-
heard of worlds out beyond the milky
way. Every day or so somebody's
microscope bumps into a new world
In a drop Of water, a world of tiny or
ganisms in a world of their own and
capable of making a world of trouble
for the master of the world, man.
Every day OF two some young engineer
finds a world of usefulness in some
new combination of known forms of
motion. The forms of motion were
known before. 1t remained for the
young engineer to discover that parti-
cular form Of motion.
Adventure is ii you seek? Why,
boy, we're not nearly out of the big
woods in lots and lots Of things. Take
that pear tree in mothers back yard.

worlds and worlds of insects that are
bigger game than the lion and that
have been able to thrive and increase
with civilization, when the bears and
tigers couldn't. Adventure is to be
had In almost every counting house,

there for the finding and the reward
is great for the finder. Only 1t doesn't
