Evolution Is Spiral

uYHOEVER first conceived the
w idea that evolution is spiral
" had a bright inspiration.
There are many indications that
this world is not progressing in a
straight line up. Indeed, there is
large and raucous chorus Of pes
simists who can furnish us proofs,
wholesale and retail, that the world
is going to the bow-wows.
On the other hand, the busy opti-
mist can prove to you that we are
undoubtedly advancing and that
the steamfitter who rides to his
work in an automobile in 1922 is
better off than the gentleman that
fixed pipes in Neros palace in for
mer times while a slave driver
stood over him with a club.
In other words, in certain
sense we seem to go round and
round and not get anywhere, and
in another sense we seem to go for
ward. This paradox is explained
by the figure of the spiral. We do 60
around in circle, but at every lap
we are little higher up.
It takes a deal of suffering and
struggling and senseless quarreling,
but we do manage to get on. "Step
by step since time began we see the
steady gain of man."
There are plenty of reactions, the
wave often recedes.
"Still, somehow, the round
Is spiral, and the races feet have
found.
The path rise under them which
they have trod."

LOGIC IS POOR COMFORT

LOGIC Is POOR COMFORT
CHE gives me no relentlng sign;
~ We meet, but never as before;
Her soul a stranger Is to mine,
Her smiles are meant for me no more!
The bloom is fresh upon her cheek,
Her beauty claims attention still;
And once she could not hear me speak,
She sweetly said, without thrilll
I MEET proud people here and there,
l. watch them pass, from sorrows free,
And wonder why they fail to care
Because the world seems dull to me;
As one from some far-distant land,
go my gloomy way alone
Since she has ceased to lay her hand
For trustful guidance In my own.
CCENES that were once attractive, now
-. Lack all the love'iness they had;
The haunts that once were dear, somehow,
Possess no charms that make me glad
The worlds a dismal. dreary place
Where nothing's right and all is wrong,
For sic has told me to my face
To take my hat and run along.
7 KNOW that I shall live II down
i And be heart whole and fancy free;
I know that there are in this town
Girls who are lovelier than she.
Some day III learn to hear her name
And still be undisturbed. I tnow;
Oh, III survive, but all the same,
Recovering Is tough and slow.
