THE SURPLUS
By DR.. Frank Crane

Humanity is always producing surplus.
The ordinary healthy man can and does
produce more food than he can eat, more
clothes than he can wear, and more other
goods than he needs; that is to say, his labor
is worth more than money enough TO sup
ply all his purposes
When you take nation full of men all
busily working the surplus becomes enor-
NOUS
1t is this surplus that supplies the materi-
al evidences of the advance of civilization.
Out of the surplus fund humanity has
built it's cathedrals and palaces has thrown
up it's great cities and laid out it's parks,
has supported it's kings, mobiles and other
magnificent ones, has bought tissues and
gauds to bedeck it's women, has sustained the
theater, the church and all the arts; and
out of this surplus from time to time it has
paid for it's wars, it has dipped it's hand into
the accumulated treasures of life, and in a
mad orgy of adventure has sown death in the
hollows of the sea and in the trenches Of the
earth.
The great problem before the race and
before each nation that is part of it is
what to do with this surplus, for it continu-
ally piles up, and while part of it is invested
in more or less sensible ways, the most Of it
is wasted either in foolish experiment and
extravaganza, or supporting even more fool
ish traditions.
AS the bee stores honey, and as the ant
lays up it's winter food, so the human animal
is constantly storing up the result of his
labor.
There is no doubt that when in the course
Of the ages we learn wisdom, the lot OF man
will be much more pleasant Most of the
labor that is now performed by human beings
will be performed by the harnessed giants Of
steam, electricity and solar and radio en-
ergy.
With proper attention given to the sur
plus, man can make a living with his mind.
In 10 centuries from now we shall look
back with amazement upon an era when the
great mass of human beings toiled like oxen
or asses of burden, just as now from the deck
Of our transatlantic liner we reflect unon
the time when boats were propelled by galley
slaves, just as now riding in a luxurious
transcontinental train at so miles an hour
across the plains we think in pity of our
forefathers who made the same journey in
prairie schooners drawn by mules.
The curse of work originally laid upon
man that he was to earn his bread by the
sweat of his brow is to be lifted by two
things. First by the development of his in
teligence so that he can employ the tire
less forces OF nature as his servants And
second, by the process of social evolution
whereby in course of time men learn team
play, learn how to live together in co-opera-
ton and not struggle in competition, learn
how to organize humanity so that they shall
be comrades in the great war against the
hostile elements of disease, decay and de-
struction.
We are slowly moving on our way from
the heritage of the beast toward the Defect
able Mountains. That Promised Land and the
race shall reach when at last it shall under
stand what to do with its surplus.

I'm the Days of the Dinosaur

The earliest known reptiles were beasts
with great bellies aid not very powerful
legs, very like their kindred amphibia, wal
lowing as the crocodile wallows to this law.
but in the mesozoic they soon began to stand
up and go stoutly all-fours, and several
great sections OF them began to balance
themselves on tail and hind legs, rather as
the kangaroos do now, in order to release
the lore limbs for grasping food.
The bones of one notable division of rep
tiles which retained a quadrupedal habit, a
division OF which many remains have been
found In South African and Russian early
mesozoic deposits, display number of char
acters, which approach those of the NAM
malian skeleton, and because of this resem-
blance to the mammals (beastsJ this division
is called the theriomorpha (beast-like).
Anothei division was the crocodile branch,
and another developed toward the tortoises
ana turtles The p-esiosauurs and ichthyo-
saurs were two groups which have left no
living representative; they were huge rep
tiles returning to wnale-like life in the sea.
Pliosaurus, one Of the largest plesiosaurs.
measured thirty feet from snout to tail tip
OF which half was neck. The mosasaurs
were third group of great porpoise-like
marine lizards.
Long Beasts; Long Names
But the largest and most diversified group
of these mesozoic reptiles was the group we
have spoken of as kangaroo-like, the dino
saurs, many of which attained enormous pro-
portions. In bigness these greater dinosaurs
have never been exceeded, although the sea
can still show in the whales creatures as
great.
Some Of these, and the largest among
them, were herbivorous animals; they
browsed on the rushy vegetation and among
the ferns and bushes, or they stood UP and
grasped trees with their fore-legs while they
devoured the foliage.
Among the browsers, for example, were
the d. lodocus carnegii, which measured
eighty-four feet in length, and the atlantic
saurus. The gigantosaurus, disinterred by a
German expedition in 1912 from rocks in
East Africa, was still more colossal It meas
ured we'll over hundred feet! These great
er monsters had legs, and they are usually
figured as standing up on them; but it is
very doubtful II they could have supported
their weight in this way, out of water
Buoyed up by water or mud, they may have
got along
Another noteworthy type we have figured
is the triceratops. There were also a number
Of great flesh-eaters who preyed upon these
herbivores. OF these, tyrannosaurus seems
almost the last word in "frightfulness
among living things. Some species of this
genus measured forty feet from snout to tail
Apparently it carried this vast body kanga-
roo fashion on it's tail and hindlegs. Prob

lous quality, A leaping elephant would be

Andrew had told her If she would drop
into his office about 2 o'clock he would
go out to the Country club with her and
watch golf game. When he came in from
lunch he opened the door to his office and
found her tilted back in his desk chair and
swinging her feet merrily while she hummed
q little tune.
Hello" he said, kissing her. "You are
early, aren't you? Hop up minute till I
sign few letters and then will be with
you"
''For the love of Mike" he exclaimed,
looking at his desk. His face flushed and
he turned to his stenographer angrily:
Miss Sparks, what has happened here?"
You wife arranged your papers, SIR
said the stenographer. ''I tried to -
'She tried to stop me-" broke in Imogene,
a little spitefully. "She said I had better

couldn't even find one of your collars al
home and that I had been picking up and
arranging things after you for twenty years
and 1 would not let your desk get in any
such shape.
II took all the papers out of the pigeon
holes and busted them out, and then I ar
ranged them for you. See, I put all the
ones which were the same size in the same
holes, so that they would not all stick out
ragged, like they were, and then I put
those which were scattered around your
desk in piles of the same color and put
them away, too.
"The pink ones are in this hole. The
blue ones are here, and it took two holes
to hold the white ones.
'"There were some which Miss Sparks
wanted to work on this afternoon, and she
took them over to her desk and she is
going to put them in with the proper color
when she is finished with them.

Realism or Romance
INDICATIONS are that Realism" and
Romance" will once again go to the

INDICATIONS are that Realism and
Romance" will once again go to the
mat; that is, enter the lists. The two
no longer live in amity on the book-shelves
of the twentieth-cen.u
The younger school of realists seem not
now to have the blind following that has
been their since the day of the war, now
and again romance comes looking Wlsttully
from between the covers of book.
1t would be a nard task to define what is
generally meant " either terms, but II may
be taken as fairly accurate that realism is
meant to mirror nature. II this definition
is even remotely near the truth, then our
realists are not realists at all; for, far " m
mirroring nature most realistic novels mir
ror their authors.
The case for romance is equally difficult;
but paradCxically enough, the dltflculty
seems equally simple, if we assumed that
every work of art has for it's origin an emo
ton.
The romantcist to speak very broadly,
shows us a beautiful structure; slim, fairy
like building flung high against skyline
of night and myriad stars. The picture IT.
self is enough; just the picture and the
emotion that it arouses; the inspiration mat
it gives
night and the stars with many words. He
shows us instead Il many laborers digging
in the dirt of the city; he pictures in words
the clangor of metal on metal; the bony,
steel-like Orders; the crashing Of a cement
mixer, and tells us Of the swearing OF a
marble-cutter who barely missed is thumb
with huge, wooden mallet.
And that, it seems, is the difference be-
tween the schools of the romanticest and the
schools Of the realists. The appreciation OF
either. or Of both, is entirely unnecessary to
the merits of tho question that is being pro
pounded to the readers OF the nation: Will
you have romance or realism?

ably it waded half submerged in pursuit of
the herb1vorous river saurians.
A Bat With Finger =
One special development of the dinosau-
rian type Of reptile was a light, hopping,
climbing group of creatures which developed
a bat-like web between the fifth finger and
the side Of the body, which was used in glid-
ing from tree to tree after the fashion of
the flying SQUIRRELS These bat-lizards were
the pterodactyls. They are often described
as flying reptiles, and pictures are drawn of
mesozoic scenery in which they are seen soar
ing and swooping about. But their breast
bone has no keel such as the breastbone Of a
bird has for the attachment of muscles
strong enough for the long sustained flying.
They must have fitted about like bats.
They must have had a grotesque resem-
blance to heraldic dragons, and they played
the part of bat-lik- birds in the mesoZoic
jungles. But bird-like they were, they were
not birds nor the ancestors Of birds. The
structure of their wings was altogether diff
ferent from that of birds. The structure of
their wings was that of hand with one
is like an arm with feathers projecting from
it's hind edge And these pterodactyls had
no feathers.
The Beginning of Feathers
Far less prevalent at this time were GER
tain other truly bird-like creatures, of which
the earlier sorts also hoped and clambered
and the later sorts SKINNED and flew. These
were at firstly all the standards of CLASH
fication-reptiles. They developed into true
birds as they developed wings and their
reptilian scales became long and complicated
fronds rather than scales, and so at last by
much spreading and splitting, feathers.
Feathers are the distinctive covering OF
birds, and they give c power of resisting heat
and cold far greater than that Of any other
integumentary covering except perhaps the
thickest fur. At very early stage this novel
covering of feathers, this new heat-proof con-
trivance that life had CHANGED upon, enabled
many species of birds to invade a province
for which the pterodactyl was ill-equipped.
They took to- sea fighting-if indeed they
did not begin with it-and spread to the
north and south poleward beyond the tenn
perature limits set to the true reptiles. The
earliest birds seem to have been carnivorous
divers and water birds. To this day some
of the most primitive bird forms are found
among the sea birds Of the Arctic and Ant
arctic seas, and it Is among these sea birds
that biologists still find lingering traces OF
teeth. which have otherwise vanished com
pleteIy from the beak Of the bird.
The earliest known bird (the archoeop.
teryx) had no beak; 1t had row OF teeth
in jaw like reptiles. 1t had three claws
at the forward corner Of its wing. It's tail
too, was peculiar. All modern birds have
their tail feathers set In a short compact
bony rump; the archoeopteryx had a long
bony with a row Of feathers along each side
