Growing Older

And so while many people of ripe experience
view the passing of another year with wistful'
ness they need not view it with sadness or dis
pouragement.
True another year with all its sins, sorrows,
~frailties and disappointments, as well as Its trt-
umphs and joys has passed never to be recalledi
still there is another year before them in which
there is an opportunity for growing older, If they
so desire; not perhaps in that make believe fash
lon in which a little boy dreams Of "oyer the
hills and far away" but in such a real fashion
ps to enable them to carry over into it all the
experiences of the past for warning, suggestion,
example, encouragement. The wise man will seek
to avail himself of this opportunity for the pass
ing of the year will remind him once again Of
the rapid flight of time and with its opportu-
mites for making the most Of life.
Someone has likened the course of life to the
marble statues which frequently are used as
fountains In public gardens. There they stand
cold, placid, lifeless, yet out of the lips of these
marble figures a clear stream of water continu-
ally flows. In some respects the analogy is ap-
propriate. Time, like the water which passes
through those marble figures, runs swiftly with
out pausing until II has run itself out so far as
an individual is concerned. But there the analogy
ends. for men are not marble statutes, The water
in passing through the marble figure on the .oull
tain, makes no appreciable difference In the fig
ure, but in the course of time through the life of
a man, he either becomes better or worse. III,
therefore, at the passing of another year a man
realizes that at some period the course of time
must of necessity come to an end, SO far as he is
concerned, such a milestone will not be meaning
less. Indeed, it will be full of instruction.

Power of the Atom

Chemists in various parts of the world are
busy irving TO break open the safe that contains
the most wealth of any in the world. This SAT
is the atom. For wealth is the product Of work
and work is the application of energy, and the
most powerful and concentrated form Of energy
consists Of the balanced forces of the positive and
negative electrical particles inside the atom.
These forces are most intense in the nucleus
OF the atom, the sun of the atomic system. The
atom of radium is in an unsta BILE state and oc-
casionally throws off a fragment from its nue.
leps with a velocity of ten thousand miles a sec.
ond, This speed is twenty thousand times faster
man a rifle bullet, and consequently its energy
is four hundred million times greater than that
of the bullet, mass fer mass,
Now if it were possible to excite a similar in.
stability in the atoms Of other elements than rad.
ium' we might get enormous streams Of energy
out OF them. Is II possible? Most scientists today
are disposed TO doubt it.

Public Has Inviolable Right

The Railroad Labor Board in a brief filed in
the United States circuit court of Chicago, sets
forth the proposition that, though the railroad
employees and the railroads may default them
selves in matters in which the board has juris-
dictlon they cannot thus default the third party
interested-the public. The public has an inter
est because an increase in rates of pay may be
reflected in a demand for increased rates for car,
riage, which it would pay. 1t also has an interest
in the rules governing working conditions and
hours of labor, aside from their social aspect,
since the rules may be unnecessarily burdensome
causing unnecessary expenses, and 80 sustain.
lug rates of carriage at an unnecessarily high
level, the brief argues. The action is brought by
the board against a brotherhood official who re
fused to testify in a wage dispute.
