Philosophers and Scientists
Must Have a Holiday

As carnivals 60 the learned gentle
men conducted themselves with marvel
lous decorum and restraint. They were
a little extrayagant, Of course, what
with their dinners and luncheOns, and
reckless expenditures in the way OF
programmes, badges and cigars. But
then they have only one convention
year. and boys, in the scientific for
mula. will be boys. All the year round
thew have to stay in trim laboratories
and quiet libraries, behaving impecca-
bly even to the fourth decimal place
and minding always their slide rules
and logarithms. Philosophers and SCI
entists must have holiday, and the 20
lice Commissioner might well be CRATE
ful if all carnivals went off as profit
ably and as calmly, and interfered so
little with business.
There was no confetti thrown around
even in their lightest moments the
learned gentlemen remember that
there is a famine in wood pulp and rags.
And. as far as could be learned, there
wasn't a single tin horn blown. The
scientists. in their holiday abandon,
would not go so far as to use any metal
needed for their Woodworking brethren
the ammunition makers. 1t was all
very we'll behaved and quiet and jolly.
Even in their most ecstatic moments,
when, for example, paper was being
read on 'The ParaIlax Of n. e. I.
1862" with lantern slides, for five
minutes the listeners remained quietly
in their seats.

Entomologists they were by profession
| learned by careful eavesdropping. AT
first they talked much the same as do
when | meet a friend, say at luncheon.
'Nice weather for the day after
Christmas"
Still in my depths. Perhaps | wasn't
so little of scientist as had imagined.
Then they went on to tell each other
that they had been corresponding with
each other for years. One was an as
sistant professor somewhere in the Da-
kotas; the other was connected with
a research station in Georgia. They
had evidently been having delightful
correspondence from way back in their
respective youths; had gotten to be real
friends, as it were, in a long-distance
way. And what kept the correspond
ence from dropping was the fact that
they had been at swords points con-
corning the Origin of Social Habits
Among the Vespidae. They had once
made q plan to go insect hunting in
CAMERON, West Africa. but the eXpe-
dition had fallen through. SO outside
of letters they scarcely knew each other
at all. And now for four days they
were going to have chance to lunch
and dine and dream entomology, and
possibly in the lull between sessions
they would have a chance to settle that
moot point about the origin of social
habits among the Vespidae. ] couldn't
help thinking that this cemented
friendship ought TO be put down at
least among the Minor Proceedings. 1t
might throw light on the origin OF So
cial habits among entomologists.

As at the Circus, Ii Was Hard
To See the Whole Show

Usually, at these monster festivals
every one wants to see everything at
once, but here, from the start, all was
order and good breeding. Considering
that some of these people had come all
the way from Florida for their one an
nual spiritual spree, it was remarkable
TO see the Self-control they displayed.
The programme was perfect chaos OF
temptations. A three-ring circus or
complicated table d'hote was a simple
straightaway proposition compared TO
this. At one part of the session, for
example, you had the choice Of going TO
hear a paper on "Asymptotic Satellites
About the Straight Line Equilibrium
Points" which was to be read by title
only, or of rushing across the street to
the philosophers, who were about to
spend the afternoon discussing, among
other things, "The Validity of Dividing
the Entities Present in Experience into
Two Reciprocally Exclusive Classes, and
Allied Questions. And there were still
other engaging possibilities. There
we're some sections at which one could
listen to papers ten minutes long and
get five minutes for repartee. with OPP
portunity for further informal discus
sion at the end of the meeting. And at
the same time one discovered, after
reading the programme carefully, that

to answer my questions. was an ecol-
ogist, he reasoned, and probably didn't
know a thing about the structure of

man, and, to be on the safe side, talked
about the chances for peace, the cost of

The Cup That Cheers Plus
Scientific Gossip

1t seemed hopeless from the very
start to attend all the meetings, so 1t
seemed best to have some general plan
laid out with the dinners and luncheons
as the core of my schedule and tea from
4 to 6 in the Philosophical Building
(poured by the Columbia University
Ladies' Committee). 1t would be easy
enough over a cup of tea, and fancy
cakes. to switch the conversation so
adroitv that could know all that had
happened at the various sessions
through the day. All one had to do was
TO pick out some one that looked like
an ecologist, consult ones programme,
and say, in a CHEEKY voice, Interest
ing, wasn't it, that little piece on the
structure and development of bitoic
communities ?"
If he were of the geological clan, |
was sure he would smile back sympa
thetically, and say: "Oh, yes, indeed"
And. after the ice was broken, he would
begin to confide to me the weaknesses
of the discourse.
The first man | sounded was tall.

~ an ecologist, | thought, from the
very cut of his beard. He turned
out to be a highway engineer, come
from a good roads conference at the

structure, left him cold And the next
man | met was all aglow with the fire

Wise Men Walked in from
Az Over the Country

Not so the members Of the A. A. A.

actions, as well as their blue badges (of
which | found myself extremely jeal-
Gus. until ! reflected that if two people
nominated me and | paid So | could
wear one next year. And the So could
be easily scraped together). They
walked in from all over the country,
registered, and turned the pages of
the programme, passing hundreds of
Turing goodies until they came TO the
one intellectual sweetmeat to which
they had consecrated their devotion.
While | loitered by the wayside amid
the dear delights of geology and seed
analysis. they went straight through
the catalogue to their goal. One man
set his teeth and went off to hear the
paper on Salicylte Oedema, although |
could see by the wistful glances he cast
at the programme of the Folklore sec
ton that, if it weren't for his sense of
loyalty, he would have gone down to the
Museum of Natural History to hear
Elsie Clews Parsons read a paper on
"The Substitution of Animals for Men

1t was much easier for the philoso-
piers. They had only one programme,
and had to take what was offered. 1t
may have been because they were
little temperamental, and felt they had

The Layman Suffered from an
Attack of Memory

Conscientious though | was, it soon
became utterly hopeless to cover the
ground thoroughly. The teas and
luncheons and dinners took enough
time, goodness knows, and one simply
had to stop somewhere. 1t wasn't as if
| were a regular scientist who had come
up to enjoy himself in one particular
booth. It was too big temptation, this
monster carnival, and, like the little boy
at the circus, | made the mistake OF
taking the whole universe, sideshows
and ALL for my province. Probably
most of the scientists themselves went

things they had missed. But they need
have no regrets. Next summer, when

let them take along-though they
hardly need to be reminded of 1.-THE
Report of the Proceedings, and stow it
with the blankets in the bow of the
canoe. Then, over the camp fire, they
can read it all. 1t will all be there, word
for word and diagram for diagram, ex-
cept for the menus of the dinners. And
if they read steadily until next Christ
mas they will begin to know what was
done for American Science in the last
week Of 1916. 1t might be good idea
to print the reports a year ahead, so
that the conscientious layman will come
to the meetings prepared to know what
is going on.

Girls With Beautiful Faces
or Graceful Figures

American girls have a worldwide
reputation for beauty, but, at the same
hme. there are girls in our cities Wild
possess neither beauty of face nos

suffer from nervousness. the result of
disorders of the womsnly organism.
AT regular intervals they suffer SO
much that their strength leaves them
they are so Frustrated that it takes days
for them 10 recover their strength. Of
course, such periodic distress has its
bad effect on the nervous system. The
withered and drawn faces, the dark
circles and crows feet about the eyes,
the straight figure without those
curves which lend SO much to feminine
beauty are the unmistakable signs of
vonanly disorders.
When girl becomes woman, when
a woman becomes mother, when Z
woman passes through the changes a

needed to withstand the pain and
