What Po;ncare FORGOT
THE Premier of France is said to make,
as a rule, at least one public speech

THE Premier of France is said to make,
as a rule, at least one public speech a
day. But on September the fourth
he was silent. 1t was the anniversary of the
founding of the Third Republic.
There may have been nothing studied in
the omission. Nevertheless it was meaning
full. If NJ Poincare forgot, how significant!
But it is commonly assumed that he remem-
bered, in which case-hoW much more sig
nificant!
There is little enthusiasm about the Re-
public in France" writes William Ivy, who
adds that a commemoratory speech would
certainly arouse the ire of the Royalists, who
are at the moment Poincare's faithful sup
porters." America is not the only land where
politics sometimes cuts the acquaintance both
of tradition and of principle.
In his Outline of History" now running
serially in The Journal, Mr.. Wells has noble
sentence on the struggles of French democ-
racy to exist against fearful odds. That it
could survive and go creatively on, latter it
had been caricatured and Knocked in the gro
tesque personality and career of, Robes
pierre" witnessed to it's wondrous vitality.
And what of the years and decades after his
downfall? 'Leaderless, for his successors
were group Of crafty or commonplace men,
the European Republic struggled on, and
presently fell and rose again, and fell and
rose and still struggles, entangled but in
vincble''
For a nation with such history there is
hope, even in these darkling times, when her
Premier, keenly mindful though he is of Shy
lock diplomacy, ignores the anniversary of
the Republic. 1t is not the real France that
counsels for international discord and boil
sters up the Turk, any more than it is the
real America that turned recreant in the
face of world crisis hardly less grave than
that of the itself. "Entangled" the Re-
public of France Enthusiastically is; but STILL
let us hope, "invincible"-even against her
own visionless politicians.

MANKIND IN THE RIGHT
PERSPECTIVE
By DR.. Frank Crane

IT 10 most Interesting and rather shatter-
ing to get the whole compass Of mans ex-
istence upon this planet in its right per-
spective.
Professor Robinson in his book, THE
Mind in the Making" assists us to do this
as follows:
He says that we can get a good idea Of
the probable relation Of the existence of the
human race to the universe by imagining
that a single generation of men has man"
aged to progress as far in fifty years as the
whole race of mankind has progressed dur
ing the entire space Of time it has existed
on the earth.
That is in fifty years suppose that the
race has made as much progress as 1t has
made in the five hundred thousand years or
so it has lived upon the planet.
Each year in the life of this generation
would then correspond to ten thousand
years in the actual life of the race
According to this illustration, and on
this scale, 1T would take forty-nine years to
get Intelligence enough to settle down to
the business Of filling the ground, growing
crops, demonstrating animals and weaving
garments.
Six months later, or half through the
fiftieth year, some of the cleverest Of them
would have invented writing.
Three months later another group would
have carried literature, art and philosophy
to high degree of refinement, and set the
standard for the succeeding weeksy
At the end of the fiftieth year our gen
Grafton would have been living for two
months under the blessings Of Christianity,
the printing press would be fortnight old,
and they would have had the steam engine
for week.
For two or three days they would have
been fastening about the globe in steam
ships and railroad trains. Only yesterday
they would have discovered electricity.
Just few hours ago they would have
learned to fly in the air and to navigate
under the water.
Whereas a week ago they were burning
and torturing those who differed from the
ruling party on theological questions, hang
ing and mutilating those who had new ideas
Of government and numbering old women
who were accused of traffic with the devil
they would but a few days ago have dis
covered how to make war not by armies
fighting each other, but by extermfnattng
entire populations, including women, chill
dren and cripples.
AS just about year ago they were all
vagrant savages, they yet have so much of
the savage blood in them that they do not
know how to run governments, carry on
business, prosecute law suits, or even man
age churches without fighting.
From all this we can get an interesting
sidelight upon how recent our civilization
is, how much Of savagery still clings to US,
and how precarious is our advance.

s-THE FIRST LAND ANIMALS

VIZ know that for hundreds of thou
wv sands of years the wetness and
warmth, the shallow lagoon condi-
lions that made possible the vast accumula-
lions OF vegetable matter which, compressed
and mummified are now coal. prevailed over
most Of the world. There were some cold in
tervals, 1t is true; but they did not last long
enough to destroy the growths. Then that
long age of luxuriant low-grade vegetation
drew to its end, and for a time life on the
earth seems to have undergone a period of
worldwide bleakness.
We cannot discuss fully here the changes
that have gone on and are going on in the
climate OF the earth. A great variety of
causes, astronomical movements, changes in
the sun and changes upon and within the
eartn, combine to produce a ceaseless fluct-
uation Of the conditions under which life ex-
lists. AS these conditions change, life, too,
must change perish.
When the story resumes again after this
arrest at the end Of the palaeozoic period we
find life entering upon fresh phase of rich
ness and expansion. Vegetation has made
great advances in the art of living out of
water.
Before Grass or Flowers
While the palaeozoic plants of the coal
measures probably grew with swamp water
flowing over their roots, the mesozoc flora
from It's very outset included palmlike eycads
and low-grown conifers that were distinctly
land plants growing on soil above the water
level.
The lower levels of the mesozoic land were
no doubt covered by great fern brakes and
shrubby bush and kind of jungle growth
of trees. But there existed as yet no grass,
no small Towering plants, no turf nor green
sWard. Probably the mesozoic was not in
age of very brightly colored vegetation. It
must have had -lora green in the wet sea-
son and brown and purple in the dry. There
were no gay flowers, no bright autumn tints
before the fall Of the leaf, because there was
as yet no fall Of the leaf. And beyond the
lower levels the world was still barren, still
unclothed, still exposed without any mitiga-
ton to the wear and tear Of the wind and
rain.
When one speaks Of conifers in the meso-
zoic the reader must not think of the pines
and frs that clothe the high mountain slopes
of our time. He must think of 1ow-growing
evergreens. The mountains were still as
bare and lifeless as ever. The only color ef-

W OUTH, read the other day, lasts as
Y long as the mind stays young. and the
mind stays young till forty.
But actually youth is a matter Of the heart
even more than of the mind. Actually, too,
both heart and mind may stay young many,
many years after forty.
Recall, If you please, some Of the character
istics Of youth.
Outstanding in youth is joyfulness in the
mere fact of being alive. Everything on which
the gaze of youth rests is seen as though
through rosecolored glasses
Youth does not doubt that Browning told
truly that Gods in His Heaven and alls right
with the world. Yet youth does not take the
world for granted.
To youth it is a world Of ceaseess marvels,
world of fascinating mysteries which hold
youth wondering and which youth ardently
aspires to understand. Youth, moreover, Is
firm in the faith that through effort under
standing may some day be achieved.
Youth is willing to make the effort, youth
is eager to make it. For youth is nothing If
not boldly adventurous. And youths is a
glorified adventurousness, the adventurousness
of a loving and generous heart, burning to
help ones fellows.
Is there warrant for saying that at SUCH
and-such a specified period Of life youth
ceases to be?
It is a fact Of common, everyday observa-
ton that for myriads Of people youth ends
long before forty is reached Nay, youth for
many is a thing of the past ere they are out
of Their teens.
They have lost ardor, they have lost faith,
they have virtually lost all desire to under
stand and to accomplish. Inert beings, they
let time whirl them along, craving only self
centred, and the accomplishing.
But also observation happily shows that
there are Eeople-large numbers Of them-who
contrve to keep youth all their days, albeit
they may reach more than twice forty before
they breathe their last.
You yourself must know such people. The
images of several among my own acqualnt-
ances-some now dead, some still living
come vividIy to me as write. One In part1c-
ular appears, a teacher known internationally
and beloved of his pupils because he sought
most of all to help them keep youth even as
he had kept It,
To the day of his death he retained youths
fervor, generosity, creative wondering and
zeal for effort. His laughter was as a singing
brook, sun-illumined through the forest. His
handshake was the handshake OF one who
knew not fear or hate or any of the other
ugly weaknesses that creep in when youth
ends.
AS he was so it were we'll II all OF US might
be- For then would the world be the glad
some place Of it's intending, WORLD wherein
the purposes Of creation would be un1nter-
ruptedly fulfilled as they can be only when
youth survives to cooperate in the fulfilling

The Outline of History-By H. G. Wells
|. The Romance of Mother Earth

fects among the mountains were the color eff
fects of naked rock, such colors make the
landscape of Colorado so marvellous today.
Amid this spreading vegetation of the
lower plains the reptiles were increasing
nightly in multitude and variety. They
were now in many cases absolutely land ami
mails.
There are numerous anatomical points of
distinction between reptile and an ambphi-
bian: they held good between such reptiles
and amhpibians as prevailed in the carboni-
ferosu time of the upper palaeozoic; but the
fundamental difference between reptiles and
amphibia which matters in this history is
that the amphibian must go back to the wa
ter to lay its eggs, and that in the early
stages Of its life it must live in and under
water.
A Momentous Change in the Egg
The reptile, on the other hand, has cut out
all the ,tadpole stages from It's life cycle, or,
to be more exact, its tadpole stages are got
through before the young leave the egg case.
The reptile has come out of the water alto
gether. Some had gone back to it again,
just as the|hippopotamus and the otter among
mammals have gone back, but that is a
further extension of the story to which we
cannot give much attention in this Outline"
In the palaezoic period, as we have said,
life had not spread beyond the swampy river
the like: but in the mesozoic, life was
growing ever more accustomed to the thin
ner medium of the air, was sweeping boldly
up over the plains and toward the hillsides.
It Is we'll for the student Of human history
and the human future to note that. If a
disembodied intelligence with no knowledge
of the future had come to earth and studied
life during the early palaeozoic age he might
very reasonably have concluded that life was
absolutely confined to the water, and that 1t
could never spread over the land 1t found
a way. In the later palaeozoic period that
visitant might have been equally sure that
life could not go beyond the edge of a swamp.
The mesozoic period would still have found
him setting bounds to life far more limited
than the bounds that are set today. And so
today, though we mark how life and man are
still limited to five miles Of air and depth
of perhaps a mile or so Of sea, we must not
conclude from that present limitation that
life, through man, may not presently spread
out and up and down to a range of living
as yet inconceivable.

~ NE of the most curious things in tie
world is that when people are going
to have child of their own they al
most tnvariable importune the stork to bring
them boy baby, yet if they are going 10
adopt child they nearly always choose a
girl baby.
Orphan asylum officials tell you that they
have a never ending demand for female in
fants, while scarcely anybody is willing to
( take as a gift the male of the species. Yet
in the family circle, where peoples babies
are wished on them instead of having a
chance to choose the kind Of one they want,
boy babies are universally regarded as a val
liable family asset, while girl babies are al
ways below par, and generally below M A.
in public estimation.
or course it is easy to see why boys should
be In demand in Europe where there are IT,
tiles to be inherited, and great names to be
perpet, ated, and where a dot has to be
thrown in, like chrome with pound Of tea,
with girl, to get her married at ALL
In America, where all babies are born Free
and are equally entitled to get out and sup
port the family, there seems no reason for
this invidiOus class distinction
Nobody will deny that it exists however
When the first baby turns out to be a GIRL
instead of the expected boy, the good wishes
offered her parents are polite, but without
effusion, but everybody gushes over a bounc-
ing baby boy.
Now, regarded as babies, it would seem to
the dispassionate observer that there was
no choice. Both are mere wobbly masses of
muslin and lace, in which only parent in
sp1red gaze can distinguish difference. Both
are leather-lunged, and when a girl baby
goes after in the Silly watches of the
night, she can fetch it with the same uner-
ring precision, and murder sleep with it as
effectually as any boy baby.
Moreover, both are equally valuable as
training partners for Papa when he qualities
in the long-distance nocturnal walking
match. Both prove that the art of oratory
is not lost art by saying "Goo' in a way
that the mendacious parents translate into
bursts of eloquence, and bith achieve the
unparalleled feat of cutting first tooth that
the satellites around the cradle regard as the
most beautiful and rare object of virtue in
the world.
OF course, it will be urged that the chief
pleasure to be derived from baby is the
pleasure OF the imagination, and the stimulus
it gives to fancy. All the great romancers and
liars have been parents. The cruel world
may see nothing remarkable about wobby,
moon-faced little creature, but it's father and
mother can detect genius in a countenance
With no more expression in it than a saucer
Of breakfast food; they behold intellect

Turnip tops are not commonly grown
for green's, and yet are delicious when
forced in dark cellar. Dig up some Of
the late turnips If you want to try the
experiment and plant them in boxes OF
light soil which can be kept in a warm
place, but darkened in some way, per-
haps by putting another box over them.
The soil must be watered frequently, but
not allowed to become wet. The turnip
tops will be very light in color and very

Editorial Echoes

Women are seldom up to date in the mat
ter of birthdays.
The gauge of hope is the long distance
sight of ruccess.
Anybody who speaks the truth in the
hour of danger possesses true courage.
Many a man who gets his back up like a
camel acts like a bear.
Somehow the average boy lacks mania
for acquiring good conduct marks at school.
A man may be short of ideas and yet be
able to hand out long line of talk.
Although the dignified man may not know
much, he has to be awfulIy careful of what
little he does know.
A burglar is not inclined to be talkative,
but he is likely to be gres. bore when he
finds the safe locked.
'Oi can see red roses bloomin'!" sang the
street vocalist inharmoniously, and he was
about to tegin the second spasm when a car
penters helper beckoned him to his SIDE
'Tll give you dime" he eclared, gener-
ously, eff you'll stay in this shed until
come back. I'm lying for drink O. milk"
And the songster assented.
Soon the helper reappeared, wiping his
mouth, and paid o. the reward he had
promised.
'I s'pose," said the vocalist knowingly,
chat my voice is about the same as your own,
an that you thought your boss wouldn't
know the difference-eh?"
The other looked at him Indignantly, and
he replied
'Your voice the same as mine! I should
hope not If you want to know, it's the same
as the noise my saw makes, and 1 wanted the
boss to think 1 was workin' hard on these
planks!"

DR.. Elmer Lynn Williams, the

at the weekly Rotary club luncheon
at the Hotel Eccles Tuesday after
noon and gave a fine talk for the
benefit of the Rotarians. DR.. B. H.

DR.. w. WI. Beck, who recently
visited in Salt Lake, reported that
the crippled lad, who is a protege of
the Blackfoot Rotary club, is doing
well and that the surgeons hope to
have him walking with braces
within month and perhaps it will
be possible for him to discard the
braces. He will then be able to at
tend school for the first time in his
twelve years Of life. Before the
Rotary club adopted the boy as
their protege and sent him to Salt
Lake and secured the best possible
surgical attention, he had never
walked on his feet, but was able
only to hobble along on his knees.
The lower part of the legs, from the
knee down, were fully formed, but
useless.
