 England, France and Japan, says MT. Garvan, have learned the lesson and are preparing to devote millions toward chemical advancement In the field of medicine, as well as in the commercial field, other nations are awake, appreciatfng that the future of medicine rests upon chemical de- velopment-and hence the future health of a people.
 Our progress through the Age of Chemistry cannot be assured" de- clares MT. Garvan, without the un- derstandtng and help of all. We must build up our high school chem fstry courses, our college staffs and laborator1es, and we must maintain and encourage our postgraduate schools; our chemical industries"
 It is more than figure of speech to say that Americas future is in the chemists keeping. Whether it shall be American chemists, or foreign,Ger- man chemists-that is for Americans who are not chemists to say. Their participation holds more of moment than has any other opportunity since the day when America went overseas to France, asserts MT. I1eavenworth.

ADVICE TO THE
 LOVELORN
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
To Win Back a Friend.

To Win Back a Friend.
 Dear Miss Fairfax:
 My sister had a friend whom she loved dearly, but they quarreled, 1r being partly his fault, but chiefly hers, and she hasn't heard from him in al most two years I have tried to make her forget, but it seems she can't Now, she tells me she is going to write him, she cannot live with out him. I told her it would be ridiculous to do so now. He may be married for all she knows; but she said if he is he can tell her-she is willing to take the chance, but will await your advice We live together and have no one else to advise us.
 A. G.
 Your sister probably will never be contented until she has written to this man. Let her send a dignihed letter saving that she misses her old friend and hopes that if he is free to do so. he will come to see her and let her tell him how sorry she is for her share in a sad misunderstanding She must be prepared to find that his in terfests are elsewhere. But the blow to her pride won't matter in compar1- son to the amount of unrest she is now enduring.

HORSE RACING BACK
 AFTER YEARS OF WAR
(BY Gnitad Pressl

London, April 7.-Horse racing, the Engishman's favorite sport, has be- gun and this season promises to be q record one. The prewar standard as regards the number of horses in train ing has not yet been attained but there are plenty of horses and another year or two should bring the turf back to it's original standard.
 Never were such large sums of mon- ey offered for blood stock as now and there are no signs of slump. It was the owner-breeder who saved the sit uation during the war. With few ex- captions all big breeders kept their studs going, with the result that to- day while turf situation is better than might have been expected
 Race-courses are overcrowded and the executives are perplexed as to how they can accommodate the thou sands of people who now attend.
 No where else in the world is horse racing quite so exciting" as in Eng land. The raucous shouts of the book makers, the picturesque gipsies, the blare of color as the as the horses go Hitting past, the frocks of the society danes in the grand stand, from the roof of which the "ticktack" men send their mystic signs down to the col leagues in the ring, the deftness of the three-card trickers who reap golden harvest among the unwary, the frenzied shouting and stamping of the betters as the horses dash past the winning post-all these things go to make an English race-course one of those sights" so dear to the hearts of tourists.

SAUCY COSTA RIGA
 HAS ETERNAL SPRING
(By Unitec -ressl

Washington, April 7.-School teach CTS are more numerous than soldiers in Costa Rica according to reports from that country in bulletin issued today by the National Geographic As sociation here. The trouble between Panama and Costa Rica, which has stopped by offers from the United States 10 mediate, has brought the little Central American republic to the front page.
 Although approximately equal in area to West Virginia, the great ma jority of the half million inhabitants of Costa Rica live on a mountain fringed plateau 50 miles square, in the center of the country. The region bor- dering Nicaragua on the northwest and Panama on the southeast are al- most uninhabited, except for Indians.
 Practically all of the original Indi- an inhabitants of Costa Rica were exterminated when the country was taken by the Spanish and the popula- tion has for that reason, remained predominantly European. This is in striking contrast to most Latin-Amer- ican countries where the blood of Spaniard and Indian have mixed
 More than 10,000,000 punches of ba- nanas are exported yearly from the country, mostly to the United States, and this, together with coffee culti- vation, has made Costa Rica very prosperous. A high percentage of the population are land owners, the farms being for the most part small in area The central plateau has a climate of perpetual spring and is from 5000 to 4,000 feet above sea level.
