Explaining the Real
Function of the Mind

Mind was not created for the
sake of discovering the absolute
truth. The absolute truth has its
own intangible reality. and scorns
to be known. The function of mind
Is rather to increase the wealth of
the universe in the spiritual d.
mension by adding appearance to
substance and passion to necessity.
and by creating all those private
perspectives, and those emotions
Of wonder, adventure, curiosity.
and laughter which omniscience
could include. If omniscience were
alone respectable, creation would
have been O mistake. The single
duty Of all creatures would then
be to repair that creative error by
abOlishing their seveVnl senses and
desires and becomin. 'ndistinguish-
able from one another and from
nothing at all; and If all creation
could attain to this sort Of sal.
walton, the absolute substance, in
whose honor all else had been aban-
doned, would become unconscious.
The time will doubtless come for
each of us, If not for the universe
at large, to cease from care: but
our passage through life will have
added a marvellous episode to the
tale Of things; and our distinction
and glory, as well as our sorrow,
will have lain in being something
in particular, and in Knowing what
it is.-G. Santayana in Yale Re

Comfort for the Bald

Bald people usually bemoan the
loss Of their hair and sigh for the
locks which have gone forever, but
there is at least one advantage
which comes from badness.
For example, have you ever met
a bald man who wae consumptive?
It has been found that bald men
are peculiarly immune from this
disease. One doctor has said that
out of 5000 consumptive patients
not a single one was bald.
Badness Is sometimes caused by
bad dieting; but more frequently
by letting cold and damp penetrate
to the roots Of the hair. A man
will emerge from a BARRIERS shop
with his hair wet even on the cold
est day. , ....
Excessive exercise is likely to
bring on badness. Athletes become
Overheated and, when they cool off,
their scalp becomes chilled.

Variety of Particles
Gathered by the Eve

Few people have never expert
enced the pain or discomfort that
comes Of getting dust particles or
other foreign bodies in the. eyes.
Few, 1t is safe to say, realize the
true source Of some of these irri!
tating distractions.
Tell the average person 1t Ii pos.
sible to collect in the eyes the dust
Of falling star and you will prob
ably be .disbelieved. Yet micro.
scopic examination has shown this
to be fact. When meteor
reaches our atmosphere It dis
charges heavy vapors.. which con-
dense into myriads Of minute par
ticles, and one of which may lodge
in the eye that is gazing skyward.
Volcanic eruption may cause dis.
comfort In q similar fashion. Lava
flowing from an active crater gives
off clouds Of vapOr containing NIL
croscopic particles that make their
way round the world in the upper
air currents, ultimately to fall II
showers upon the earth, where
wide-open eyes may easily collect
them.
Again, the great deserts contrib.
ute largely, to the number Of for
eign bodies gathered In this way.
Sandstorms do not cease from tro,l-
bling Immediately they subside.
Their particles are borne the world
over. many Of them finding lodg-
ment in our eyes, as the microscope
has repeatedly proved. -,
Pollen from the big pine forests
Of Canada may affect us in like
manner. not less potent cause of
this special form Of Irritation is the
scales OF butterflies wings. shed as
a rule during: the first flights after
emerging from the pupa. %
The sources, and variety Of things
gathered, in the eyes during nor
mai lifetime are, in fact, amazing
and form an astounding common
tary on the distinguishing forces

ASKS CORNELL CO-EDS
TO GIVE UP CHEERING

ITHACA, y. Y, October 21.-The
following editorial was published in
the Cornell Daily Sun, demanding
that co-eds be prohibited from sitting
in the cheering section at football
games. Under the heading of so
prano Cheering" the Sun says in part:
Perhaps these spirited girls an
swered craving for masculine COM
pany, for the excitement of close
proximity to mems voices raised in
praise and entreaty. but cheering is
not usually presumed to be perhaps
roditic. AS a matter of fact, mixed
duets of Cornell I yell, yell. yell
Cornell do not particularly enhance
tho effect of cheering. Feminine
squeals of glee and screams Of fear
are charming in their place, but that
section of the Cornell Crescent.
1.-The question of women in the
cheering section (if we are to con-
tinue to have such a thing) is dis
tinctly an undergraduate one. The
question Of women representatives on
the Honor Committee, on publications,
involve the university, to some extent.
They, the women. are, to be sure, a
substantial part Of the student party
and should be considered so until
adequate facilities permit their segre-
cation. But they can at least remain
in the background when the students
make an attempt to improve cheer
Ing. Our cheering has been deplor-
able and those in charge should be
congratulated on their endeavor to
build up a definite body of so-called
rooters. If we are finally to boast
of our cheering prowess, women must
be prohibited from participation.
Undergraduates should weep that,
like the modern smoking car there is
evidently to be no odor of masculine
aloofness about the cheering section"

ILLINOIS MAIN TOPIC
IN Big ten CIRCLES

CHICAGO. October 21.-The team
to dispute Illinois claim to the 1924
title is the all-absorbing topic in the
Western Conference as an aftermath
of last weeks contests.
The challenger may be provided
this week. Chicago, the only team
with a conference record equal to
that of the Illini, which it meets
November 8. will get a severe test
in meeting Ohio State, conqueror OF
Purdue and third in the big ten
rating.
Another contender is likely to
emerge from the Iowa-Minnesota
melee at Iowa City. Michigan, tenn
porarily out of the running as a
result of its defeat by Illinois, has a
chance to come back at Wisconsin, S
expense, but the Badgers, with tie
on their record, hope to advance their
own standing.
In practice this week Chicago's s
attack has worked more smoothly
and its defense has improved. Par
ticular attention has been directed by
Coach Stagg to the aerial game he
anticipates from Ohio State.
