The Optimism, Gland

- NE of the most curious things
about the human body is the
~ ductless gland. There are
several kinds of such glands, in
cluding the thyroid and the supra
renal.
The strange element about them
is that they manufacture some mys-
terious chemical substances which
60 into the blood and are distrib-
u'ed throughout the body, and reg
ula.P and harmonic the vital
process
Some Of " products are call
ed. hormones, which stimulate or
gans 10 activity an others are
allied chalones, which put on the
br@ Ees. An over-active thyroid
gland, FOR instance, accelerates the
heart and makes the person ex-
tremely nervous hile an under
active thyroid MAKES one stupid
and slow.
We say that one man is naturally
cheerful and another naturally mo-
rose, or that one has a suspicious
nature and another is trustful.
May not this temperamental differ
ence be due to the secretion of some
glandf If that is so, may not hap
piness be the product of a spe-
cial glandf
Doctors and scientists are con-
tinually probing into the causes of
disease. The Rockefeller Institute
spends millions looking up the
life story of hookworms and ma
laria-breeding mosquitoes.

Psychic Stuff
THERE seems to be rather

THERE seems to be rather q
prevalent idea-at least, we
i often see it advanced as a
self-evident truth-that the realm
of psychic phenomena lies before
us, and that the next great advance
in science will be by way of CATCH
ing the spooks and discovering the
laws of telepathy and hypnotism,
and reducing the mystic chaos of
spirit stuff to understandable laws
and rules.
The fact is, however, that the
phenomena of spiritualism lie be-
hind us, rather than before us. In
other words, they were here long
before science. Men saw visions
and got messages from the dead
AID played other Eva Fay tricks
long before the era of arithmetic
and the steam engine.
"Cannibals," writes an explorer
recently, "are masters of hypnotic
power. They have dancers who
can hypnotize an audience during
the performance. I myself have
seen one of these hypnotizing
dances, and, although I was not
affected, many others were"
Those who imagine that they are
far in advance of their fellow
human beings because they have
all sorts of psychic lunches, pre-
monitions, spirit messages and
scary dreams, are mistaken. As a
matter Of fact, they are away
behind.
They were doing that sort of
thing fifteen or twenty thousand
years ago, at that stage of evo-
luton when language was an inco-
herent gable and thinking had
just commenced.
That mind is in the forefront
OF progress that thinks clearly, that
refuses to yield to chaos. that
adjusts its mental vapors to the
hard facts of common sense, and
that attributes its vague and mystic
spookeries to mince pie or a bad
liver, rather than to the effort of
some disembodied spirit to broad
cast information from some celestial
radio station.

No GenHeness
In Next War
IN the last war bombs dropped on
London weighed one hundred

I'm the last war bombs dropped on
London weighed one hundred
pounds, flying machines made
such noise everybody knew long. in
advance of their coming, and fled
to the cellars.
The Parliamentary Air Com
mittee predicts that in the next
war, flying machines will be noise
less and invisible, flying twenty
thousand feet up in the air, drop
ping bombs weighing TWO TONS.
A half dozen of those bombs would
destroy London; few with deadly
gas now manufactured would kill
every human being in the city.
England, once made impregnable
by the water around her and by
her fleets, first of wood then of
steel, now looks forward to a time
when NOISELESS, INVISIBLE
fleets will come in the night,
"aerial squadrons," travelling two
hundred miles an hour. That is
something for the governments of
civilized nations to think about.
The smallest nation in the world
to-day could in six months manu-
facture enough flying machines
and bombs to destroy the cities of
the greatest nation.
More pleasing flying machine
news tells of fund of a million
dollars being raised to build the
first big airship to fly around the
world, carrying one hundred pas
sengers including the crew.
That "gigantic" airship would
be to ships of the future, what
Fulton's little Clermont is COM
pared to today's Leviathan. The
real ship will come when men build
a boat that will stay up in the air
five or six miles, going around
the earth, taking on and sending
off passengers by smaller flying
boats, and coming down rarely,
perhaps once year, for repairs.

THE ELEVATOR MAN

T DON'T believe 1 care to be an elevator
Few people seem to think that he pursues a
proper plan;
When he is at the fifteenth floor some wild
man far below
Exclaims: "Confound it! What the deuce!
Why is the fool so slOw?"
He keeps his thumb upon the place from
which the buzz is started;
A frown is always on his face; his patience
has departed.

His passengers are always fused; each en-
ters with a frown; -.
The fat folks crowd around the door, unwill-
ing to step back;
When humbly asked to make more room
their looks are always black;
Umbrellas, when the weather's wet, are flap
ped against his coat,
As if their owners wished to get the opera
tors goat.
TIE has to listen to old jokes, because
IL there's no escape;
He's crowded by perspiring folks OF every
size and shapei
He mustn't saw his souls his own, or he will
lose his job;
The man who's carried past his floor Is
quick at raising hob:
He seldom gets a word of praise while at
his cheerless duty;
He mover has a chance to gaze outside at
Natures beauty.
THE caged-in elevator man is there day
i in, and day out;
He has to serve as best he can, and watch
what he's about;
The lives of those who tread upon his toes
are in his care;
But they forget, and help to make his trou-
bles hard to bear;
He has to know his as and p's, and mind
them all the while;
He does the best he can to please, and sell
dom wins a smile.

Science Queries and Replies
Edgar Lucien Larkin--
Director Of Lope Observatory.

"On what dates are the long
est and shortest days in the
year?'-Mrs. w. R. .LYALL,
JUNE q aver"se' is the long
u est day for all points north
Of the equator and shortest
south Of it. And December 21
(average) is the shortest day
north of the equator and long
est south. But all the planets
in the solar system attract the
earth and 1t therefore does not
reach the solstices at the same
exact time. Thus in 1880, sum-
mer solstice was on June 20 at
eight hours Washington mean
time and winter solstice on De-
cember 20, seventeen hours
Washington mean time. This is
due to perturbations or disturb
ances in positions of all planets,
due to their mutual attraction.
The difficulties Of computing
these variations were great, but
have all been conquered by the

Premature

TALK of Beveridge of Indiana
as the conservative candidate
i for the Republican Presiden-
tial nomination two years hence has
begun.
Obviously it is premature.
Until the November vote is
polled and studied, we shall not
know whether there will be enough
welcome for a conservative candi-
date in 1924 to make the race in
teresting.
Moreover, there is the President
himself to consider. If he shall
want a second try, competitors in
his party may find the going rough.
Speculation upon distant posi-
bilities is one Of the charms of
politics.
But it yields very little nour-
ishment.

Money Too Good

vUyHE Canadian government is
sues a proclamation forbid
i ding all gold exports. No
gold coin or gold bars can be
shipped from Canada until JAN
uary, 1923. We had such law in
America during the war. Now we
don't need it; all the gold of the
world is pouring in. The result is
embarrassment, strange to say. Our
money is so GOOD that we find it
hard to compete in world trade
with nations that have cheap money.

BY PRINCE BIBESCO,

that. knowing life, it WAS a

A Surprising
Side Light

WYE hear so much about canni-
w balism and black misery in
w famine-stricken Russia that
it is gratifying to print the follow
ing excerpt from a letter lately
received. The writer, it should be
said, is an American visiting Russia
on business and having the best
Of facilities for observation.
He says:
Moscow is q most wonderful
town, and it Is now alive with
eager people starting up their
affairs under the new free-trad-
ing policy. The streets are full
Of people-the wonderful theaters
and opera houses packed to the
doors, while the cooking is
superb, ETC., etc.
A happy bit Of information like
this serves as stimulus to faith in
the early resurrection of Russia.
Indeed, it brings encouragement
even to America, where there are
too many desperate folks who claim
to believe that the world is going
to the demnition bow-wows.
1t will take the world long to
regain its pre-war strength, but
determination, persistence, patience
and cooperation will assure and
speed the recovery.
