Short Science Lesson

At one time there was no male and female.
Living things threw of their offspring 10 de-
velop In the forms which were often like those
Of different kingdom OF nature.
This and other interesting problems concern
ing the "origin of male and female" have just
been simplined for popular reading by an Eng.
lish scientist. Kay Robinson.
There certain things in nature which do
not produce their like. They skip generation.
The young Of the Jelly nsh are not dear little
jelly fishes who swim In the wake Of their fond
mother. They resemble stationary vegetables
much like the sea-anemone. They stick TO the
bottom Of the sea. and presently little bits OF
these plant-like creatures break away. become
independent. and develop like their grandpar-
ent, the jelly fish.
The fern does not grow ferns. II develops
tiny bits OF itself which are called spores"
These spores germinate in the ground and be-
come little green plants called prothallus. These
plants are male and female in one and they
produce seeds from which grow the next genera
tion OF ferns.
In these strange alterations OF generations >"
Kay Robinson traces one OF the earliest stages
in the long road OF evolution.

A Boston Papers
View of Brandeis
Webster.

Men say today that he does not
possess n judicial mind. They are
probably unaware Of an incident In
a Massachusetts, court not many
years ago. A legal point was raised
with which the opposing attorney
admitted he was unfamiliar and the
Judge offered 10 adjourn the court so
that the attorney could make In
vestigation. The lawyer had come
from New York and did not wish n
delay. 40 IL was decided that Mr..
Brandeis should address the court
on the legal question raised.
For more than an hour Mr.. Bran
deis explained this law, going into
ifs history as far back as the old
English common law. and gave such
an impartial analysis of IT'S ramifi-
cations that both the opposing coun-
sci and the presiding Judge express
ed their gratitude. Could any exam
pie he cited better proving the Jud
cial fairness OF the man.
Besides his great legal ability Mr..
Brandeis would bring 10 the supreme
court an intimate knowledge OF the
problems of the working classes who
form such large percentage OF our
population. They have a right to be
represented in this important body
of men.
Today the supreme court Is looked
upon askance by the laboring
classes, for they feel II is out of
touch with the conditions under
which they struggle There Is no
doubt that Mr.. Brsndeis would really
strengthen the supreme court in the
opinion OF a great many people In
the country. II can do no harm for
them to be represented IN the high
est court In the land.
MIR. Brandeis' activities have been
such that they naturally have arous.
ed bitter antipatby. but this opposi.
tion can hardly be sufficient to pre-
vent him from receiving an appoint.

the fatiguing malnutrition may in

Finally. the tiredness may result
from the weakening influence OF
some specific disease germ.
Not few of the chronically tired,
in fact, are the victims of slow poi

various ways.
Tooth-decay is particularly COM

absorption of pus from dental abb

food laden with the poisonous pro-
ducts OF the decaying teeth.
Accordingly. the man who feels
tired all the time. and wishes 10

A good many people suffer from a
chronically tired feeling without be-
ing thereby prevented from work
ing. But such people are sure TO do
their work poorly, or at any rate
far below the level of their pos
sible attainment.
Consequently II is important for
them to find out, just as soon as
they can. exactly why they feel so
tired. There is always cause for
the feeling. and II usually Is a
remediable one.
Often the cause ia wholly mental.
They are the victims OF false. OBJ
sessiye belief that they are so con-
stituted that any exertion Is bound
10 fatigue them unduly.
In this case their cure depends
entirely on the ability OF some
friend or physician TO reason or per
suade them into an opposite be-
lief.
II is a question OF substituting a
helpful idea--the idea OF strength
for a hurtful one. This may be done
in various ways.
Frequently all that is needed Is
to induce the sufferer to submit to
thorough medical examination.
The mere reinsurance by a physi-
clan that there is no physical cause
for the constant feeling of fatigue
often acts as curative agent.
The tired one seizes the happy
suggestion conveyed by the physi-
clans words. and converts II into
conviction having sufficient force
20 overcome and expel the false be
lief that previously dominated his
mind.
But chronic fatigue is by no
means always due to faulty mode
OF thinking. Sometimes--indeed,
frequently--it has a physical basis
in an impoverished condition OF the
blood
This affects unfavorably both the
body and the mind. Because the
blood Is poor the brain is badly
nourished, and consequently mental
effort as we'll "a phys'cai quickly
gives rise TO feelings OF fatigue.
There are numerous causes for
blood impoyerishment. Lack Of
fresh air is common one. Many
chronically fatigued persons are vic
tins merely OF bad habit OF work
ing and sleeping In inadequately
ventilated rooms.
Once they begin 10 lake more out

The Effect of the Tour

Is the president achieving on his
speaking tour what he set out 10
achieve? The answer 10 that ques-
tion must be looked for in the ac-
tion OF congress. The presidents
speeches have been fully reported
throughout the country. so that the
effect OF them will not be restricted
TO the states he visits.
Large crowds have heard him with
apparent approval; but possibly
those who oppose him have not been
to his meetings. The Milwaukee out.
pouring was especially notable In
size and cordiality. but Milwaukee
contains many thousands OF citizens
who were anxious TO seize this op-
portunity to refute the unwarranted
accusation that Milwaukee Is not a
loyal city.
