VIII the speeding-up and driving
qualities which have pushed the
American business man to the top Of
the heap also put a period to his SUI
premacy by ending him and his line?
The possibility is hipted in a volume
just issued by two famous Johns
Hopkins professors on blood pressure.
The organisms adaptability to new
conditions would seem to be the only
compensating factor warding off this
outcome.
High blood pressure is becoming
the typical American ailment. and It
is attributed by these physicians in
no small part to constant pep" con-
tinuous striving at top tension and
speed without intermission or relaxa-
ton. The disease terminates the
usefulness of some of the most eff
cient men, in their prime.
Tenseness, anxiety and fear are bad
mental habits which impair the phys
ical structure through the simple
process Of keeping the body keyed up
in unconscious preparation for either
fight or flight, with a corresponding
rise in blood pressure which strains
the system as much as if the violent
muscular effort were gone through.

Workers Together With Him

Read Mt. I2:46-13:9. Text: 1880.
For whatsoever shall do the viii Of my
Father. he is my brother, and sister.
and mother.
He said Of all who would join
him in doing the will Of God, in work
ing for a friendly and honest world,
that they would be mother. sister ana
brother to him. lie would gather men
about him IN such close personal rela~
tionshlp as TO share his own religious
experience with them. They would
feel God as he did
MEDITATION: In doing the worlds
work we are not to fell that we work
alone in the Fathers field, but that
the upward life Of the Will Of God is
with every unseldsh workman; also
the good impulses Of men may be
called into active cooperation by ef-
fecIve invitation. When men unite
to make the best in life prevail they
will be conscious Of the approving love
Of their Heavenly Father and come
to a new realization Of the brother
hood Of men.

thing that would separate us from
Christ be far removed and tender

Murder Case
II Of The Times

To the EDITOR Of The Times
In regard to The Thomas Shaw muir
der case:
Regardless Of the statement he
made when apprehended. as to where
he was that night the motor Of his
car was warm, which evidently was
the result Of use.
He connected his host. John. with
the case. but John proved by his
brother that he was home in bed all
the time When questioned by the
police next day he was exonerated.
At the formal trial and conviction
Of Shaw, he succeeded in establish
ing an alibi when he proved by repu-
table white women that he had passed
that and the succeeding night at their
house in the 500 block of S. Delaware
St. more than one mile away from
402 w Maryland St, where he lived.
How does the jury reconcile the
two stories and arrive at the solution
Of the case?

From Spanish "Xet"
he Editor Of The Times

To the Editor Of The Times
In regard TO the bonus for World
War soldiers. why not treat all sol
diers like Civil War and Spanish War
veterans?
In Oregon the klamath Lake prof
ecr opened lands to entry exclusively
for veterans Of the World War. The
veterans of any other war are denied
all rights under that law. It is not
likely that any veterans Of the Civil
War or the Spanish War desire to file
claims. yet II only one soldier de
sired to take advantage OF it he
should have the right TO do so.
We are not opposing these benefits
to World War veterans. but are op-
posing the principle Of discrimination.
It is wrong
Although we have many Govern
ment hospitals and nine more in pro-
cess of construction, and although
there are more than 10000 beds va
cant at the present time. the Spanish
War veterans cannot be admitted to
these hospitals. They are discrimi-
mated against even on their death beds

as to providing the pine box, the flag,
and transportation of the body.
The Spanish War veteran cannot
understand this. He served the same
flag and for a cause equally meritor
ious. His loyalty cannot be ques-
toned. Every one Of the 100000 men
who fought in that war was q, volun-
teer. They acquired the volunteer
habit for so 600 OF them volunteered in
the World War. Eighty-f1ve per cent
OF commissioned officers in the World
War were Spanish War veterans.

Our earth. at the close Of its for

Then in the course Of time life came

Of living matter. Then life differeu-

From simple animals in the sea-

life invaded the land there developed

lastly the mammals which eliminated

Whole Universe Composed Of

Science Editor of The Times
DOWNRIGHT. by David iDetz

T. began with a survey of the
WI universe, the millions Of stars
H and the thousands Of nebulae
scattered through space. We paid par
ticular attention to one star which
we know better than the others be-
cause it is closest to us-our sun.
Then we narrowed our field to one
particular planet circling around that
sun-the earth on which we live.
Then we narrowed our field a sec
ond time. This time to a study Of
one particular phenomenon upon our
earth-the origin and development Of
life
The theory Of evolution, as we saw
unites all these things into one con
nected story.
The great nebuae are the starting
point. In time, many astronomers
believe, they condense into the giant
red stars. These go through a proc
ess of evolution, reaching the top Of
the scale when they become giant
white stars Then in time they begin
to lose heat and finally become dwarf
red stars.
