ways the healthy desire to explore;
the love of freedom and independence;
but as we grow older we often lose
these because it has become more and
more difficult to free ourselves. AS
the years go on so many of us seem
to lose our keen desire for knowledge
and experience and truth. From too
much staying at home we lose the
longing to know the world better and
more widely. And by and by some of
us get so used to the little narrow en-
closures of our own lives that we not
only do not care to go far outside of
them but are actually afraid to, or,
what seems to me worse, we have be-
come quite Indifferent to the whole
matter"

the French ships. like the Italian, de-
pend on live stock, fresh vegetables,
etc, which they carry on board. and
we had expected to get a large supply
of such stuff at Spezia. Long before
the fourteen days were up we were
out of these things, and had to live on
anything we could get hold of-mostly
bareback, coffee and cocoa.
We loaded a cargo of airplanes for
the Italian aviators at the French fly
ing schools, and started back to Brest.
On the way back we had target prac-
tice. In fact, at most times on the
open sea, it was a regular part of the
routine.
II was during one of these practices
that the French officers wanted to
lind out what the Yankee gunner knew
about gunnery. At a range of eight
miles, while the ship was making eight
knots an hour, with a fourteen-inch
gun / scored three d's-that is, three
direct hits out of five trials. After
that there was no question about 1t. As
a result, / was awarded three bars.

MAN AS A MECHANIC.

New York Tribune: Do you re-
member when automobiles looked
like carriages, very awkward car
riages, drawn by something invisible
out in front under tin box? That
was in the earliest days of the game.
"Horseless vehicles" they were call
ed. Now it is the horse drawn We
hicle that looks peculiar, and our mo-
tor cars have undergone the expect
ed evolution. They have ceased to
look like carriages. They have
ceased even to lock like boats, which
marked one transition period. They
are designed today, as the recent
show displayed. to look like automo-
biles and nothing else. The body is
built to conform with the facts OF the
thing-not of something out in trent
pulling, but of self-contained. SELF
driving unit, every line from radiator
to tire-carrier combining in one NOV
ing organism.
Are there many such cases of in
herited clumsiness in machines? Yes
if we can believe that cheerful phil
Iosopher, our great Samuel Butler, who
was very fond Of comparing man with
his machines and tracing the parallel
between their evolution. Rudiment
airy organs in machines, he called
them And he was confident that
they were quite as striking as the
external ear, the appendix and sim
liar rudiments in man. He wrote In
1853 in letter to The Press OF
Christ church, New Zealand:
Gould we give any example of such
organs? We pointed to the little pro
tUberance at the bottom of the bowl OF
our tobacco pipe. This organ was
originally designed for the same pur
pose as the rim at the bottom OF a
tea-clrp. which is but another form Of
the same function. It's purpose was to

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. OF TRUTH.

When a tr11tb can be compacted into a winged
word or phrase it travels fast and far. 1t may
even 90 to the ends of the earth, but the danger
in such case is that it usually outruns its real
meaning and comes to convey to the MINDS II
reaches ideas which are less than the truth or
very different from it. The phrase to make
the world safe for democracy is one OF TINS
kind which means one thing to us and quite
another to the proletariat of eastern Europe
Other classic examples are the phrases struS.
Gle for existence and Survival of the tittest.
These have gone into all the important Ian
guages Of EARTH but are not infrequently taken
to mean that the world is battlefield in which
the strong and remorseless conqueror mas
right to live by his superior prowess; ana the
Germans have built upon it their atroclous
doctrine that might makes right. But they
lose sight of the fact that the highest htness,
and as such entitled to survival, may be spH
itual and founded in compassion rather IMAM
based on cruelty and greed.
It is true that there is a relentless and Zero
cous battle for existence among certain orders
of life many species preying on others. But
this is only small part of the truth that nature
shows us. and only one phase of her myriad
life. The real struggle for existence IS not
destructive of other life forms but it is rivalry
to persist by successful adaptation to environ
ment Only the superior and fortunate UNITS
can persist; but they do not accomplish this by:
warning on the rest.
The organic theory of society, undoubtedly
the true one finds analogy between nations and
the multi-cellular higher forms of life The
individuals which make up the nation CORE
spond to the cells which compose the body, and
only where these units have established

or among the groups of units which are the or,
CANS of the physical body and the classes ana
divisions of the body polite results IN disorder
and death. Hostility among them, warning
of the members, is fatal alike to the ANIMAL

beings which has no common purpose ana IN

"a herd. Nor is it different with the world body
of which the races and nations are the organs

keep the heat of the pipe from mark
ing the table on which it rested. Orig
inally, as we have seen in very early
tobacco pipes, this protuberance was
of very different shape to what 1t
is now It was broad at the bottom
and flat, so that, while the pipe was
being smoked, the bowl might rest
upon the table, Use and disuse have
here come into play and served to
reduce the function to it's present
rudimentary condition. That these
rudimentary organs are rarer in ma
chinery than in animal life Is owing
to the more prompt action OF the
human selection, as compared with
the slower but even surer operation
of natural selection. Man may make
mistakes; in the long run nature
never does so. We have only given
an imperfect example, but the in.
telligent reader will supply himself
with illustrations"
The cheerfulness with which Butler
shifted the labor to his readers sug-
gests an unworthy doubt that exam
pies Of atrophied organs in machines
were not easy to find. The buttons
on the sleeve Of a mans coat are the
first Illustration that comes to mind.

can be considered a man-made ma

most wonderful of all our machines
If it can be so regarded-those super

Intelligent reader can help with
other cases.
Our suspicion is that while such
rudiments do constantly carry over
from one invention to another they
are very soon utterly removed, as In
the case of the automobile. Man
may not be as intelligent as nature,
but he at least has more control over
his medium. He can remould his
automobile completely between seas

leaves the job in mess!
