THE SOUL SEARCH

A N ENGLISH scientist has devoted
"A a lot OF time and effort to writ
Ing a book which he calls an Search
of the Soul"
At the end the scientist finds him
self no nearer discovering the where
abouts Of what he was searching for
or even knowing the character Of the
thing he sought than was Plato or
Seneca or Pythagoras or Epictetus,
all great teachers, but all disagreeing
when it came to the thing which none
Of them KNEW anything about.
Always there has been doubt as
to whether the soul was within or
without the body.
One Investigator who died not long
ago spent years Of his life in an at
tempt to devise a weighing mechanism
so delicate that he would be able to
determine if there was any deter
minable difference in the weight of a
human body just before and just
after death, hoping thereby to es-
tablish the weight of the soul
There were reports, never perhaps
justified, that the government bureau
Of standards had under consideration
a similar line of experiments.
1t would be just as satisfying in
all probability, to try and weigh a
thought, for it is probable that moth
ing more tangible leaves the body at
death.
Did you ever wonder what becomes
Of the thinking power when the body
no longer has power to breathe and
move? Is the thinking power the
soul?
Where goes the genius of d BeethOv-
en- or Mozart and that indescribable
power to group sounds into harmony
when death has robbed those fingers
of writing down the notes upon the
ruled paper?
What becomes Of the analytical
powers of a Newton or a Euclid or an
Einstein when he can no longer pen
his formulate or give to the world his
conclusions?
What becomes of the genius Of the
painter when his hand can no longer

the most advanced races Of the Old
World were on the border line between
savagery and barbarian. 1t far ante
dates any but the simplest mechanical
arts. Yet, while our knswiedge Of the
laws Of nature as they apply to ma
chimes has reached great magnitude
and completely, 1t has been compare
lively a few years since the principles
Of breeding have been more than col
lection Of unrelated traditional beliefs.
The same superstitlons on which the
shepherds Of Asia based their practices
at least 30 centuries ago are still wide
Iy current, while the one sound princi-
pie known to the ancients- selection Of
the best for breeding stock-ls still
much neglected.
The principles Of successful animal
breeding, as they have been learned by
practical experience In the United
States and older countries, and by care
full scientific study along definite lines,
are outlined in Bulletin 905, recently
issued by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.
This bulletin goes into the first prin-
ciples Of reproduction and follows with
the means by which certain character
istics Of one or the other parent are
transmitted to the offspring, the meth
DDS of selection best suited to intensity
the desirable characteristics and weed
out the undesirable, the Characters
tics which can with certainty be ex-
pected to continue from one generation
to another, Those which are uncertain
and those which cannot be inherited.
Aside from mere increase in num-
bers, the purposes which the breeder is
likely to have in mind fall under two
more or less distinct heads, namely,
production of uniform product, and
improvement. A uniform product de-
ponds on such control over the heredity
Of the stock that matings can be made
with the assurance that the offspring
will be of a certain definite type for
which there is a demand. Improvement
is, OF course, closely related to control
over heredity, but the methods which
give the greatest control are not neces-
,sarily those which lead to the most
rapid improvement.
In broad sense the whole subject
of practical breeding comes under the
head of selection. The most obvious
basis for such selection is the perform
ance of the animals themselves. I'M
fortunately, the merits of most kinds
Of live stock cannot be measured direct
ly. The study Of conformation as an
index of useful qualities has according
ly held high place as basis for Sc
lection of breeding stock. Live stock
judging has this for its purpose. An
animal Of good breeding is a. better one
to breed than one of equal individual
merit but of mixed or common breed
Ing. Pedigree, though often misused,
is valuable aid to selection, apart
from following a general policy of mat
ing. The soundest basis of all for Sc
lection Of breeding stock Is the record
of past performance as a breeder pro
vided the record is sufficiently extern
sive to give fair test.

THE GIRL ON THE JOB
How to Succeed-How to Get
Ahead-How to Make Good
By JESSIE ROBERTS
TEACHERS

PREACHERS are looking about these
4 days for opportunities that will
give them better returns than those
the schools yield. This may be a
pity from the point Of view Of the
schools, but 1t is fact.
But many women love teaching, and
feel that they are particularly we'll
suited to this work. Yet they must
earn more money. There is an OPP
portunity for joining the two in teach
ing craftsmanship. Many Of the big
department stores run classes for
teaching their salespeople better meth
DDS and for giving them chance to
advance to the higher positions.
Teachers are now taking special
courses In selling and then going into
the teaching of this branch Of COM
merce.
There Is also an opening in doing
special research work for retail and
department stores, and teachers are
qualifying for such positions. Natural
ly they soon make fur greater salary
than ever they got by school-teaching
and what is more the life itself is
broader, more various and fuller Of
opportunity. Teachers who go into
commerce from this angle often de-
velop into saleswomen themselves, and
grow to prefer that work. Executive
positions in retail and department
stores are also open to them after
the experience that comes with teach
ing.
A certain time spent in teaching
school is good practice for almost any
job Witness how many of our IA
nous men were at one time Of their
career teachers in country or city
schools. But the young woman who
wants to get out into the world and
make a real future for herself will
not stay too long in the classroom.
She will use her training to bring her
the best results possible. Executive
positions in wholesale and retail trade
are one possibility, and an excellent
one.

Has $50 Species Of Birds.

Costa Rica Is about the same size
as West Virginia, but over ESQ species
Of land birds have been found In that
little Central American republic
whereas, in all America north of Mex
leo only some 500 species are known
And in the Andean region, within an
even smaller area, a larger number Of
birds has been recorded than from
Costa Rica. In Andean Colombia, for
example, expeditions Of the American
Museum of Natural History actually
secured specimens of over 1,150 spe-
cles of land birds, or more than twice
as many as exist In the United States,
Canada and Greenland. In tropical
South America birds are practically
nonmlgratory. They are, therefore,
continuously subjected to the lnfu-
ences Of their surroundings and do not
mix with birds from other localities
two factors of the utmost importance
In the evolution Of species.

MANY COWS NOT PROFITABLE
Ten Million "6oarders" in United
States Whose Yield Is Less
Than Cost Of Feed.

Not over a third Of the so-called
dairy cows Of the United States are
profitable to their owners. Ten mil
lion ''boarder" cows are MIXED whose
yield Is worth less than their feed.
Their owners seem to keep them for
the sole purpose of milking them four
teen times a week, cleaning out after
them, and otherwise enjoying their
society.

that cows when deprived Of salt be-

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"cATcHPENNY"

TTSED in the sense Of an In
~ feTi0r article, made merely
to sell, this combination of two
words has recently gained for
Itself a place IN English die
tiCnaries, though the word it
self Is nearly a century old,
dating back to 1924 when Thur
dell was hanged for the murder
Of Weare, a crime which was
one Of the most sensational in
the annals of London police.
1t happened that a printer by
the name of Catnach saw
chance to make a considerable
sum of money through the pub
LEGATION Of what he alleged to
be the murderer's speech from
the gallows. The paper con-
tanning this report sold fairly
well, but the receipts did not
come up to Catnach's expecta-
tions. SO he printed a second
edition, with a headline in large
letters across the top of the
sheet: I'VE ARE alive again !"
These words actually appeared
in Weare's speech, as reported,
but the printer purposely left
very little space between the
first two words Of the phrase
and, reading the line "WEARE
alive againl" thousands Of per-
sons bought the paper before
they discovered the deception.
The London Times referred
to the matter as "catchpenny
device" and the printer was
thereafter known as Catch
penny" Catnach. So descriptive
was the word that it has re-
NAMED in the language to this
day.

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT
THE JOB AND THE MAN
BY F. A. WALKER.

hold the brush or of the sculptor
when his hammer and chiseI have
been laid down for the last time?
Is there tangiblllty to knowledge,
to talent or are they wholly spiritual
and without dependence on material
things and existencel
Plato said, 'The body is a prison,
from which the soul must be released
before 1t can arrive at the knowledge
of those things which are real and I'M
mutable."
Is the soul really imprisoned within
the body or is the body only an IL
fusion which our belief gives a de-
ceiving reality?
The scientist who is studying mat
ter, for no one yet KNOWS what
matter is, tells us that everything
material is made up Of electrons and
that electrons are really only a mani
festation OF electricity and that cleo
tricity is not matter but only energy,
and we, therefore, end up with the
statement that matter is not material
but only a demonstration Of energy,
50 after all what is there to the thing
which we ordinarily think Of as the
home Of the soul?
What an enigma! What an eternal
problem! We stand upon the edge of
great ocean and wisely discuss it
as whole when we do not know more
than the merest fraction of the truth
about the one wave that washes at
our feet.
We write books with sounding titles
and confess at the end, If we are
truthful, Il know nothing"
Only ONE thing man really KNOWS.
That is that he is conscious, that he
has been endowed with some power
Of recognition and reason. Whether
his use Of that power results in a
truthful conclusion he does not know.
1t may be that one of the greatest
glories and privileges Of the hereafter
viii be to know something and know
that 1t is the truth.
There are many question marks In
the paragraphs above but all life is a
question to which none of us have
ever known the satisfactory answer.
