WATER NECESSARY TO LIFE
Al Vitality Has Been Well Called an
Aquatic Phenomenon" as French
Student Expressed 1t.

All life is lived in water. Where no
water is, no life can be. The necessary
machinery may have been already
made. as in completely dried seed.
but that seed cannot actually live I'M
til water reaches it again. To live is
to be wet; or, in the phrase of a
French student, "Life is an aquatic
phenomenon"
When the supply of water is with
held from living things, they may sur.
vive, but their life Is slowed down,
as it were. In the completely dried
seed, life is arrested altogether, yet the
creature Is not dead. The French call
that a case of vie suspendue-or, in
our language, suspended animation.
After astonishingly long periods, such
seeds will terminate if they are wa
tered. tsN1'a
The astronomer tells US that our
planet is only one of many belonging
to innumerable suns, and he wonders
whether this little "lukewarm bullet
of ours Is really unique in bearing
burden of life. There is one path that
leads to the answer of his query. Ii
he finds no evidence of water on
other worlds, he cannot expect to fino
life there.

WRONG TO BE TOO SENSITIVE
Business Man Who Takes to Brood.
ing Over Small Things Stands In
His Own Light.

"Wagner, you've got ability" he
cried, "but you'll never get anywhere
in this world until you quit tearing
yourself to PIECES! I've watched you
for the last three years twice I've had
it In mind to push you up a notch In
the Office, and every time I've passed
you and picked some one else because
/ know you aren't fit to handle other
men. No man is fit to handle other
men until he has learned to control
himself. You can't; you're too blamed
sensitive.
Little setbacks break your heart.
A letter of complaint comes in from
some customer and you take 1t as
personal criticism, and lose a days
! work brooding over it. You see me in
conference with some of the other
men, and you stab yourself, wondering
why you weren't invited and imagine
that I have turned against you. You
hear about some one who is making
more money than you, and immediate
ly all far fields look greener. You're
fairly useful cog in your present job,
and 1t might put me to some annoy
! ance to lose you. But you'll never
hold big job until you can forget
your own petty self and learn to laugh
when the world takes a crack at you.
Hanged if l don't think sometimes it
might be better if you were to get out
and try your hand somewhere else.

IT'S A PREMATURE MONUMENT
Tall obeIisk Was Raised by the Turks
to Commemorate Anticipated
Capture If kut.

Approaching Kut-el-Amara from the
south by the River Tigris, the first
thing one sees nowadays is a tall ODE
lisk. 1t stands on ground sacred to
no people in the world but the Brit
ism, Eleanor Franklin Egan writes in
the Saturday Evening Post. 1t stands
on the wide, sheil-torn and deeply
| trenched neck of land-base of the
| peninsula on which the town is built
where for IA days the shattered rem
mart of q British army withstood a
double siege of constant bombardment
and slow starvation.
This obelisk- was raised by the
Turks to commemorate the surrender
Of General Townsend and their vic
tory over the British forces that had
tried so long and so herOically to re-
lieve him. To me it was an exclama-
tton point to punctuate my own aston
ishment!

Was ever anything quite so prema-
ture? 1t makes one realize, as moth
ing else could, how confident the
Turks and the Germans were that they
had the British in Mesopotamia per-
manently defeated. Defeated! 1t
seems incredible that anyone could
have imagined it. In the face of things
as they have become, that obelisk
seems to me to express kind of
whimpering enmity, as though it felt
itself strangely inappropriate and
would get away If it could to follow
its builders on the long trail of re-
treat to the north. 1t is a monu-
mental misconjecture, the ironic hui
NOR of it being unique and thing in
which Englishmen may now rejoice.
