A YOUTHFUL SCIENCE

Whenever there Is some unusual
manifestation of natural forces such
as earthquakes, tidal waves, change in
the relative land and sea levels and
the display of the aurora borealis. the
tendency of the public is to criticize
the students of physical science for
being unable to explain fully the causes
of the phenomena.
Seismology. which concerns itself
with the study of the tremors, pulsa-
tons, the elevation or subsistence of
land and the cause and effects of
earthquakes is one of the newer
sciences. 1t had its beginning about
40 years ago in Japan through the
work of a group of British scientists.
However, today the greatest living
authority is DR.. Omori of Japan, who
has made n life study of earthquakes
and the various circumstances attend
ing their occurrence.
Seismology s still in its infancy al
though a great mass of material has
been collected. 1t is predicted that
within reasonably short time scien-
fists will be able to forecast seismic
disturbances so that they MAJ warn
the dwellers in the affected regions.
When that is. possible there should be
no repetition of the great disasters.
Forewarned. the people could move
into safer areas and perhaps, avoid al
together the perils of great earth
quake.-Seattle Times.

Poets Corner
WHY so SAD?

Why do you look SO sad;
Quite happy you should be,
Your days are almost DER;
Death lowering close to thee.
Your troubles almost DER;
Your work is almost done,
Your life is leaving fast;
With each descending sun.
No more to know life's cares;
You undisturbed to be,
No more of sleepless nights;
No more adversely. g.
No more to work each day.
Your nights devoid of ease,
Your days will be like dreams;
Nights filled with melodies.
In heaven you shall dwell;
No more to know of pain,
No more to meet on earth;
Sons of The branded Cain.
You'll know amending peace;
Nothing you TO annoy,
What else could be more fine?
What else could hold more joy?
Cheer up then, dear old friend;
Why wrinkles in your brow?
Thanks you should give, old friend /;
If you could pass on now.

HAPHAZARD PROSECUTIONS

A federal judge recently informed at
torneys for the United States govern
ment who had undertaken to prosecute
a construction company for alleged over
charging on wartime contracts, that
they would have to make their allega-
tons more specific if they desired to
gain a hearing in his court Whether
that particular company deserved prose-
cution is question unto itself. Like
wise irrelevant to the broad principle
invoked by the judge in this case is
the general matter of wartime profiteer
ing. But irrespective of anybodys or any
company's guilt or innonence under such
charges as those OF which the federal
Judge refused to take cognizance on the
ground that they were too indefinite, the
case calls attention to a tendency on
the part of the government which no
court should countenance.
The United States government should
be no less bound by the countrys laws
and by rules of procedure than any
citizen who goes into the courts seek
ing justice. If any difference could
properly obtain, the government should
be under the greater obligation to ad-
here to legal principles. If the govern
ment is not going to set an example for
the proper conduct of litigation. then
individuals could hardly be expected to
establish a higher standard.
In various cases the United States
government. through executive branches.
has been rather lax not only about COM
plying with the requirements of "the
law" but also about observing principles
which define justice.
A few weeks ago case was reported
from Dallas wherein a resident of that
city had been haphazardly charged with
Justification of his income tax return.
The allegations had been published. and
consequently the defendants reputation
was impaired. Doubtless he was marked
by some people as a dishonest man. OF
course he had to prepare a defense; that
meant the expenditure of real money
and the loss OF no little time from his
business. Naturally, too, he worried
about the mater.
The case did not go to trial. The
federal authorities withdrew their charges,
admitting that there had been nc
Justification of the income-tax return and
no ground for such an allegation. In
short, the government had acted pre-
maturely-before proper investigation
had been made. In the meantime, mcst
likely, irreparable damage had been done
to the man who was falsely accused.
This is by no means the only case
of the kind that has come to the atten-
ton of the public. When the federal
government makes baseless charges, OF
alleges categorically, without citing
specific acts, that some individual OF
company has been grating" it is no
likely to establish itself more securely
in the confidence of the people. 1t il
more likely to create the impression
that it is not worthy of the confidence
which any government, to be highly Ell
ficicnt, must have.

THE FIRST KISS

Two hearts that beat, as if 'twere one !;
As l hold you in my arms,
The eyes that seem to enchant me;
The lips that hold their sweet
charms.
You smiled, when in my arms EN-.
braced;
Lips parted, as if to speak,
Close to my heart l then pressed you
Imprinted a kiss on your cheek.
The moonlight shone through the
window;
Bathed us with its mellow glow,
Seemed to smile and to guard DER us I;
1t alone our love shall know.
Oh love! Help now to guide me on:
\ Comfort me, when I'm alone,
Help this dear girl TO remember;
My love she holds as her own.
