A READER, referring TO some
~ thing that said about the
Almighty in an article de-
scribing mans place in the uni
verse, writes me a letter In which
he demands, in what seems de-
liant tone:
who is God? What is God?
Where IL God?"
In meditating. on this smashing
volley Of questions I happened TO
recall what Sir Isaac Newton
wrote on the subject Of God, In a
most unexpected place, to wit, the
close of his Incompatible "Prin-
cipia," or Mathematical Principles
Of Natural Philosopsy," OF which
Laplace, the great French mathe-
NAUTICAL genius, said that 1t was
"pre-eminent above all the other
productions OF the human intel
lect," while Of Newton himself It
has been averred that he was the
greatest man who appears In the
history of science and possibly the
greatest intellect that has ever
worked on earth"
And Il occurred to me that my
correspondent might be more i'm
pressed by what 30 great a mind
as that OF Newton thought about
God than by anything that I could
offer on the subject, particularly
since Newton covered all the three
points OF inquiry, viz, the per-
sonality, the nature, and the loca-
ton Of God.
Song of Praise.
In a general scholium," at the
end Of his mighty masterpiece Of
mathematical reasoning, Newton
says Of the solar system and the
systems of the fixed stars that
they could only proceed from the
counsel and domination Of an in
telligent and powerful Being"
Then he goes on to develop his
idea Of God, in measured SEN
fences that are like a magnificent
song Of praise, bursting unexpect-
edly upon the ear as the reader

Of the Poor and the Brother Of the
Sun expanding gloriously under
the fiattery of It?
Poor little Zuleika! don't
blame her much for saying any
thing.
Life in a harem must be such q
frightful bore. And then it was
the only way she had to get the
pearls.
Jealous? Women jealous Of
each other? Well, so they are, to
tell the plain truth, and they're
jealous of men, too. But don't
think, oh, sweet student Of human
nature, that jealousy is essenti-
ally a feminine trait.
Men are also jealous of each
other-jealous in love, jealous in
war, jealous in business. Tell one
piano player that another musical
genius is an inspiration, and
watch the piano player turn green.
Out Of the Fashion.
Mention to Romeo that you
think Mercutio is rather good
looking himself, and observe
Romeo's enthusiasm for Mercutio
turn cold.
Tell the best insurance man you
know what wonderful work some
one from another town does in his
own particular field, and you'll
have to put on all your furs to
keep from getting a severe chill.
Ask any woman who's. ever
worked in a downtown Office what
she thinks about men being jeal-
GUS of each other. Take a day
when you have plenty of time.
You'll need it if you listen to one
half of what she'll start to tell
you.
I'm sorry for the woman who
doesn't like other women. There's
something wrong with her, just as
there's something wrong with q
man who doesn't like other men.
And then, she's so hopelessly out
of the fashion, too.

Jealousy Is a Creature B0r,
in HarenlS
By Winifred Black

(<1 DON'T care much for
women" said the woman
in the black dress with the
yellow trimmings, they're so
jealous"
All the men in the room laughed,
and all the women pretended TO
laugh-and the woman who didn't
like other women felt herself to be
very clever and fascinating, and
dangerous, and worldly wise, and,
oil, so alluring.
OF course, she was charming, or
the other women wouldn't all be
jealous of her. You could see that
the men thought that-at least
some Of them did.
But there was one man, middle
aged, distinguished and more than
usually clever. He laughed when
the woman said that, but somehow
/ got the impression that he
wasn't laughing with her, but at
her, and dear me, what a differ
ence that does make!
He has a wife of his own, l hap
pen to know. She wasn't able to
be with him that evening. How
she would have smiled across the
coffee cup into her husbands eyes
when the fascinating" woman
said, "Other women are always
Jealous Of me-"
The mans wife is beautiful and
fascinating, too, but TO one is ever
Jealous of her, or if they are she
doesn't know it
She's never jealous of any one
else either. She's too busy help
ing them, and giving them chances
to help themselves and admiring
them and praising them, and ap-
preciating them and loving them.
Jealous! l don't believe she
knows the meaning of the word.
The Old Wern.0ut Weapon.
They say that before he met her
the distinguished man was rather
admired by women, and had many
sentimental affairs. Perhaps that's
Iu6 TehbOu MS oAullc Hdu buCu q
hint OF mischief in It the other
night over the coffee.
He must have heard that little
sentiment expressed 80 often, and
so often, and so often.
And always with the same per,
fectly apparent purpose-to make
men think the speaker was SO alb
solutely irresistible that all other
women turned green with envy at
the very mention of her name.
There was q young fellow there
who smiled satirically, too. He has
a mother and q sister. and he
knows they are the most loyal, de-
voted creatures TO each other and
TO their women friends that ever
existed.
What q pity It is for q woman In
this age Of the world 10 take that
old harem attitude, for that's. Just
where this other women are so
Jealous" attitude came from-tha
harem.
Can't you hear Zuleika telling
the Protector OF the Poor that she's
SO glad he gave her the pearls
yesterday They were such a
comfort to her when the other
women ! nthe zenana were SO de-
voured by envy OF his attention.
And can't you see the Protector

Of the preceding demonstrations.
"This Being" he says, governs
all things, not as the soul Of the
world, but as Lord over all. -
The Supreme God is a Being
eternal, infinite, absolutely per-
feet. =" The word God usually
signifies Lord, but every lord Is
not q God. It is the dominion Of
a spiritual being which constitutes
O God. - And from His true
dominion It follows that the true
God is a living, intelligent and
powerful Being, and from His
other perfections that He Ia su-
preme or most perfect, He Is
eternal and infinite, omnipotent
and omnlseient; that Is, His dura-
ton reaches from eternity to eter-
nifty, His presence from infnity to
infnity; He governs all things and
knows all things that are, or can
be done. He Is not eternity or in
finity, but eternal and infinite; He
Is not duration or space, but He
endures and is present He en-
cures forever, and is everywhere
present, and by existing always
shd everywhere He constitutes
duration and space. 80
I'm Him are all things con-
tanned and moved, yet neither az
fects the other. God suffers moth
ing from the motion Of bodies;
bodies find no resistance from
the omnipresence Of God.
As a blind man has no idea Of
cplors, so we have no idea Of the
manner by which the all-wise God
perceives and understands all
things. He is utterly void Of all
body and bodily figure, and can
therefore neither be seen nor
heard nor touched, nor ought He
to be worshipped under the repre-
sentation Of any corporeal thing.

Eve know Him only by His
most wise and excellent contri-
vances Of things, and final causes.
We admire Him for His perfec-
tons, but We reverence and adore
Him on account Of His dominion,
for we adore Him as His ser
wants. and a God without do
minion, providence, and final
causes, Is nothing else but Fate
and Nature. Blind metaphysical
necessity, which is certainly the
same always and everywhere,
could produce no variety Of thinRu.
"All that diversity Of natural
things which we find suited to
different times and places could
arise from nothing but the Ideas
and will OF q Being necessarily
existing. But by way Of allegory
God Is said to see, to speak, to
laugh, TO love, to hate, to desire,
to give, to receive, 10 rejoice, to be
angry, to fight, to frame, to work,
to build; for all our notions Of
God are taken from the ways of
mankind by a certain similitude,
which though not perfect has
nevertheless some likeness. And
thus much concerning God, to dis
course Of whom from the appear
snce OF things does certainly be-
long to natural philosophy"

j. S. WILL SET
STANDARD WAGES

As one step in stopping the ever
upward trend OF prices and wages,
the Government proposes soon to set
a standard wage in each line of war
work. At the same time. a more
careful checking on prices will be
attempted, and in so far as possible
standard or fair price lists will be
enforced.
The Standardization OF wages prob
ably will be undertaken in a few
weeks through Presidential procla-
nation. By this means, a ship rivet-
er in Newark. N. J.. will get the
same wage as the riveter at San
Francisco. and so on through the
Government and private war work
factories of all kinds.
Heretofore prices have risen, and
wages have been boosted to meet
them. This process appeared con-
tinuous. Now, II Is proposed to stan
dardize the wage. and II possible
stabilize prices. Price fixing may
have to be more widely used. In any
event, II Is likely that the Govern
ment will tell producers that they
cannot have raw materials unless
they sell their goods at a fair price.
