Bible in Schools
7ditor 81 M Times

To the Editor Of The Times
All sound minds Of the world must
work together for one another and
establish worldwide peace and inter
national justice.
The great question is how can the
nations of the world solve such a
difficult problem? There is only one
way to settle this vital subject and
that is by teaching our boys and girls
that it Is not the great men Of
country that place us into wars, but
it is great men that keep us out Of
war.
If the coming generations are taught
worldwide peace and international
justice it will shine throughout their
lives and their posterity. Causes Of
all the wars in by-gone days were
brought on by the lack of real neces-
sary education.
What are we going to teach our
boys and girls in order to form in
their hearts this international or even
national peace.
The only thing that will bring this
to a reality is teaching Of the Holy
Bible in our schools. If the example
of the life Of Jesus Christ is set be-
fore a boy or girl and taught by the
teacher, what else is hs or she going
to be but be a real supporter Of in
ternational justice AMI worldwide
peace.

That much bus d adjective,

The Flapper has grabbed for her

To use in a manner eclectic
To qualify everything known;
She seems to have almost a passion
For making it fit any noun,
Or characterize every fashion
OF person or party or gown.
I'm feeling just hectic this morning!
That party was hectic last night!
And father, today, gave a warning
That-well, 1t was hectic, all right!
I've got new gown-very arty,'
Though awfully hectic in hue!
That new man we met at the party
Is hectic, think, over you'll"
Now here is the humor sardonic;
Consult Mr. Webster, you'll CLEAN
The knowledge that hectic means
Chronic"
Not brilliant" or vivid" or
keen"
But who cares what books say about
It?
The Flapper does not, I aver,
For hectic's her word, and she'll
spout it
Because it is chronic with her!

Science

It is probable that there is no such
thing as a natural DEATH"
If this is true, all human beings die
from injury or disease. and 1t should
be possible to prolong life indefinitely,
if complete protection against dis
ease and accidents could be secured.
There is scientific evidence that death
Is not inherent in the individual calls
that make up living beings. Certain
organisms seem to be immortal DIR.
Carre1 has isolated connective tissue
from the heart of chick embryo and
cultures of these calls, living on the
extracts from chick embryos, have
been kept alive for ten years.
Efforts to prolong human life have
made wonderful progress In the last
few years. Science has practically
eliminated smallpox and typhoid, vel
low fever and malaria, and has con-
quered rabies, diphtheria, tetanus and
other disease. If person escapes
accidents all disease finally is con-
quered, there is no reason why he
should die.

MAMMALS ARE DIVIDED
INTO TWELVE CLASSES
Each Type of Life Gains ASCendency and Has Attempted to
Spread to Every Environment,

which frequent streams-beavers and
the so-called ''w4ter-rats."
The fifth class Is as much at home
in the water as on land-the polar
bear and the otter for example.
The sixth class lives on the shore
Of the sea. This class includes the
seal, the sea-otter and the walrus
In the seventh class we find NAM
mails who have deserted the land en-
tlrely and gone back to the sea where
their fish ancestors originally came
from. These include the whales and
the porpoises.
A type of whale called the deep.
diving fln-back whale dives into the
deeper abysses of the ocean where
a specialized form of fish life is
found. Accordingly this whale is
classified as a mammal which has
conquered an eighth type of environ
ment.
Conquer Air Too
The remaining types of mammals
lave attempted or succeeded in con.
quering the air
Glass nine includes the mammals
which spend part of the time on land
and part in trees. The gorilla is an
animal of this type.
The tenth class lives almost en-
ttrely in the trees-squirrels, tree.
sloths. and lemurs. for example.
Next we find in the eleventh class,
the mammal which is beginning to
conquer the air. The flying squirrel"
which volplanes or parachutes from
one tree to another, is an example.
Lastly we have the twelfth type.
the bat, which has actually learned
to fly and conquer the air.

1T is interesting to note that each
type of life, in the period of its
- ascendency has attempted to
spread into every type Of environment
Thus in the Age of Reptiles, we find
reptiles which could swim and dive
reptiles which could climb trees, and
even winged reptiles. the so-called
pterodactyls.
Man with the aid of the airplane and

When mammals gained the ascend

But behind it all-this selecting

And that reason is-Indians.
For the population of Mexico is
essentially Indian.
Elghty@five percent are of In

But the natives do not like mod

Take the case Of Santa Inez ranch,
near Cuatla.
Two carloads Of the most modern
agricultural implements were installed
under the urge of an American sales
man. The wages Of the workers were
doubled. New houses Of wood were
constructed for them.
A year later the American returned,
thinking that with the showing this
ranch must have made under pro-
gressive management. he would be
able to make large sales TO the neigh
boring ranches.
He found the modern implements,
broken and rusted. stored in a barn.
The wages were back TO normal and
the workers We're once more living in
the brush shacks to which they were
accustomed.
They had deliberately wrecked the
new implements; the larger wages had
caused them TO lay off as soon as
they had earned the amount to which
they were accustomed; and the nice,
new wooden houses were gratefully
received, as Il saved them the labor
OF obtaining frewood from the woods.
Extreme, maybe-but typical.
