Light Holds Secret
of Life, Says Scientist

CHICAGO-"Light is life" and evo-
lutionists seeking the source will find
it in the study of physicist ever it
is found, declared DR.. J. U. Giesy of
Salt Lake City in a lecture before the
Physiotherapeutic convention. Instead
of searching for the primeval germ in
the protocol, science must go back to
the colloids and beyond them to the
action of the suns rays, he said, and
there the spark of life and light alike
prabably will be found.
DR.. Giesy explained that for years
it has been known that cod liver oil
carried the quality of sunlight into
the body literally and affected through
it the biology of the cell itself. The
same principal is being carried out
with other foods, radiated with either
sunlight or a synthetic equivalent. He
warned against too prolonged expos
ure to sunlight. Prolonged exposures
are decidedly harmful because the
body thus absorbs too much ultra vio-
let radiation.

these contraptions, filled with differ
ent kinds of ore. He claims that
when walking on the ground near an
ore body, the chemically loaded pen
dulum suspended from his hand will
swing toward the ore. When directly
over the body, the ore finder will
swing in circle. He was perfectly
willing to give demonstration using
a copper oil can as an ore body. His
ore finder did swing toward the oil

Parents Blamed for
Daughters FrivOls

ELGIN, Ill.-"She was the most
frivolous fapper have ever known
remarked Dr. Bert Edward Smith,
somewhere about mid-channel in an
address before the Rock River Con-
ference of the Methodist Episcopal
church.
"She bobbed her hair She calci-
mined her face. She wore her clothes
half mast. Yet she became the queen
Hest mother I have ever beheld. She
achieved her glorious motherhood in
spite of the fact that she had been
hurt in her youth, hurt somewhere
back in her tender childhood. The
thing that had hurt her was not,
probably, the motion picture, the pub
lie dance, or any of the other forces
of a iazzed civilization, but her own
parents.
Somewhere about quarter of a
century ago, there emerged upon the
stage of life a generation of incom-
petent fathers and mothers. They
have proved themselves ignorant of
nearly everything in the world and
chiefly ignorant of the psychology of
youth.
"Our present younger generation
has been unfortunate in it's choice of
its parents. The average father of
today conceives himself as a cross
between a cash register and a speak
ing machine. The average mother is
helplessly and pathetically ignorant of
the processes of her child's spiritual
development. Both have delegated
their responsibilities to the teacher
and the church, when as a matter OF
fact nothing in the world can take
the place of the home in the spiritual
education of the child.
Nevertheless our fiappers, most of
them, will come back. They change
so fast I can't change my speeches
fast enough to keep up with them.
Some day they'll take the right turn
in the road +"

Potential Disaster Stored
for Years in Box of Rocks

MONTREAL - Two organizations
discovered that their members had lit
orally although unknOwingly, been
flirting with death for years.
Unpacking wooden box of rock
specimens, the gift of some long-for-
gotten mineralogist to the Natural
History society museum, experts at
the pathological institute Of McGill
university saw something which made
their scientific hair stand on end. To
the casual eye there was nothing to
get excited about-just a quart and
half bottle of nitric acid and ditto
bottle of glacial acetic acid, lying low
ingly together among the rocks.
But the men of science paled,
gasped for breath, then gave a shout.
In the quickest possible time those
two bottles were as far apart as space
allowed. They were locked up in sep
arate cabins.
Nitric acid and glacial acetic acid
together are as harmless as gun
powder and a lighted match, or a
naked flame in a gas tank. Yet the
deadly pair had been bedfellows for
years. Glass that jolting of the
rocks would have smashed, a COM
monplace cork and glass stopper
that might have sprung leak
these were all that stood between
fire, explosion and sudden death.
For many years that boz, with po-
tential explosion inside, had stood in
the cellar of the house on Mountain
st. where the Natural History society
regularly held its meetings. On the
floor above the Plymouth Brethren
held, and still hold, their services.
Ignorance and bliss, too, were the
portion of the men who moved the
box from the Mountain-st to the path
illogical institute, at the top of Uni
versity-st. A slip of the foot, jolt
or a crash and the next call would
have been for the hearse.

THE SEEKER

A soul like mine-as rich, as poor
Knocks both at HelI's and Heaven's
door.
1t cries all night, it seeks all day,
And never finds the faith to pray;
But f1utters on its feeble wings,
Searching about for precious things.
To have had some dreams my heart
has had
1 think might make an angel glad;
So I believe, if God there be,
His love is given to fools like me.

SHEEP GRAZERS
FIGHT PRESENT
FOREST CONTROL

Sheepmen of Arizona had their
say in the long controversy with
forestry service officials when
they appeared in force before the
senate subcommittee on public
lands at the opening hearing of d
three-day session at Flagstaff
Monday.
Lou Charlebois, one of the states
largest sheep grazers, protested
against the present method of for
est control by the federal govern
ment, asserting that recent actions
of the forestry department have
been discriminatory against the
sheepmen.
Charges of overgrazing have
not been substantiated in single
instance, in the Investigations now
under way by the committee of for
est service officials and members
of the Wool Growers association, y
Mr.. Charlebois testified. He ex-
pressed the fear that if federal con-
troll of the public domain were eX-
tended, the sheep industry of the
state would be ruined He advo-
Gated that all unreserved public
lands in Arizona be turned over to
the state for state administration.
A. A. Johns, of Prescott, presi-
dent of the Arizona Wool Growers
association, continued testimony
started at Prescott and said that
the time is not riDe to extend fed
eral control on the public domain.
