How to learn About Mem

How to Learn About Men
NIPLING may have written
IN the authentic line on how to
learn about women''-but the
only infallible way to learn about
men is to buy country house
and go in for weekend parties.
The thing that a suburban hos
tess learns about human nature,
in a few weeks, would make the
psychologists sigh with envy.
No matter how much she may
know about her own husband,
she soon discovers that she was
merely in the kindergarten, as to
the varieties of nuisance a man
can BE, and the number Of hid
den peculiarities he may possess
She learns that. after. twenty
four hours, all men are pests
around the house, no matter how
fascinating or how decorative
they may be.
That there IL very little differ
ence in husbands-and that her
own husband is no worse, and
probably a little better, than the
rest.
That mans much admired chiv-
airy develops a flat tire, when 1t
comes to changing a mattress
from one bed to Misunderstanding
up to close the attic windows
in a storm, economizing on hot
water and bath towels and max
ing his own bed on the maids
day off.
That there are more varieties
Of masculine stomach than of
American flora and fauna-and
that one little innocent green
peach can produce a knock in
the engine of a whole weekend
party.
That, while woman may have
gotten her rights in the legisla-
ture, she still suffers from all her
wrongs in the kitchen, where
mans tyranny began.
That the surest way to lose
caste among your friends is to
offer them the hospitality of your
house and the use OF your beach,
your car, and your club-and then
let them see behind the scenes of
your domestic menage.
That all men keep the break
fast waiting, not for any particular
reason, but just on principle.
That one man permitted to mix
a punch or make a rarebit in
your kitchen can do more dam
age than the American Army
could clean up in a week.
That one rainy weekend around
a country house has more to do
with the marriage and divorce
statistics than the laws of the
country.
That any woman with an attrac-
tive country house could marry
at least once a season, II It were
not against the law.

GARRETT P. SERVISS APPLIES
SCIENCE IN SCOPES CASE
Says There Is No Conflict Between Science and
Religion Because No Contact.

; The conflict is not between
science and religion, but between
science and dogmatic theology,
as Andrew d. White demon
strated in two historic volumes
years ago. A conflict of that
kind has been going on for
centuries. from a time even ante
cedent to Calico, and while it
has always been theology that
was the aggressor, 1t has always
been science that triumphed.
Attacked, prosecuted, impris-
oned, tormented, burned at the
stake, science has yet survived,
and marched on over the ashes
Of its martyrs, never striking
back at religion. but always over
coming its true enemy, dogmatic
theology by disarming it Of its
weapons of falsehood.
The fatal mistake Of theology,
one which 1t is repeating again
in this Tennessee tournament
(Which irresistibly reminds one
OF Mark Twain's picture of one
OF King Arthur's knights Of the
Round Table pitted. with couched
lance lance, against Connecticut
revolver)-the fatal mistake is IN
trying, against the fundamental
principle Of religion, to find out
God by searching, and searching,
too, among the ordinary facts of
Nature! 1t Is only following the
exploded Paley method, which
took seriously the proposition
that the moon was made purpose
ly to give moonlit nights Ito
favor romantic Romeos and Jul
lets, for instancel and that the
wings of birds are visible proofs
of a design to save them from
cats.
Dogmatic theology makes an
idol, or a fetish. and calls 1t God.
The fact that it constructs it's
fetish out of strands of the imagi-
nation instead of out of n block
of wood or of stone does not
change the nature OF the product.
Dogmatic theology pretends to
speak for religion, and in truth is,
by thousands, taken to be re-
llgion! But its struggle against
science betrays its real character.
1t Is a very imperfect invention
of mans restricted intellect. 1t
tries to base itself upon Nature
for facts, and upon reason for
proof, but misrepresents the facts
and misuses the reason.
The sacred books" of every
theology that has arisen in the
history of universal religion have
been the rocks on which it split.
They fatally hold it back until
the resistless sweep of the cur
rent of progressing knowledge
tears it to pieces and scatters it's
wreck down the stream Of time.
But the Bible does leave room
between the lines of its text, and
hints in some of it's sentences at
the principle of evolution fact
that the fundamentalists would

ANE of the most unfortunate
" results of the foolish legisla-
ton that has led to the Scopes
trial Is that it strengthens the
mistaken notion, evidently enter
tanned by the Tennessee legisla-
ture, as we'll as by thousands who
luckily have never been called

exists "a conflict between science
and religion.
There can be no conflict where
there is no contact. Science has
no more to do with religion than
has the automobile industry or
the effort to fly to the North
Pole.
All that science seeks to know
is the facts of nature, and as far
as possible the natural laws that
govern them. The object Of re-
ligion is the worship of a power
superior to ordinary nature and
independent of its laws. Neces-
sarily and confessedly, such a
power is mysterious and incom-
prehensible. 1t transcends reason
and the experience of the senses,
upon which exclusively science
depends.
who by searching can find
out God?"
There, in sentence from the
Bible, is shown the very corner
stone of religion. Science does
not strive against the edict of the
unknowable. 1t searches solely
for what may be known to ordi-
nary human capacity.
Science Is altogether earthly,
like the body of man; like the
natural life of man, which de-
ponds upon the enourishments
that the soil. the air and the
waters afford. 1t does not con-
tradict religion, it does not touch

which are not in accord with

teachers, 1t does so without in
tention; 1t does not make the
facts, it finds them. If there be
blame, it lies upon Nature.
Should man shut his eyes to
Nature because he cannot find
out God? Nature yields to his
search, and says to him ever more
distinctly as he goes on: "All my
mysteries are only apparent. l
do not forbid you to find out my
secrets. They belong to you, for
you are part OF me-.

IN TRADING TODAY
Speculative Rail and Oil
Liens Heavy-Foreign
Group Stronger.
BY GEORGE IT. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, February 25.-Trac-
tion bonds were the features in to-
days trading.
On the one hand, Chicago Railway
5s were active and strong and on the
other hand Third Avenue adjustments
were weak. Chicago Railway 5s
closed Tuesday at S3 and opened to-
day at Sc, up 3 points and within a
fraction of the high of the year. This
sudden jump brought heavy profit
taking and the price receded points
from the opening, rallying again
later. The motive back of the buy
ing was the result of the Chicago
aldermanic election, which was in
terpreted as favorable to municipal
purchase of the property.
Third Avenue Weak.
The drop in Third Avenue adjust
ments, which at one time was more
than 2 points. was due to the an
nouncement of a cut in the interest
rate, the semi-annual payment on
the bonds being reduced from 2k
to IA per cent. Today's price was
new low for the year and con-
trasted with high of 50k. Hud-
son and Manhattan incomes were
fractionally lower
Speculative rails were irregular
New York, Westchester and Boston
4hs receded from their new high
above 20, made Tuesday. Other New
Haven bonds were very firm.
The st. Paul group continued to re-
fleet the prevailing doubt over, the
refunding program. In the high grade
investment group prices were shaded,
but only trif1e, in response to money
conditions. There was especially good
demand for short term securities of
the type of Columbia Gas and Elec-
trio.
Foreign Bonds Stronger.
In general, foreign bonds did bet
ter. Austrian Is were higher and so
at one time were japanese 615s.
Reports were circulated of new
German loans to be offered here. It
was also stated that the Canadian
Pacific might do some financing in this
market. Today's new offerings in
cluded $2,100.000 Southwestern Light
and Power 6s to yield $50 per cent
and $3,000,O00 Standard Plate Glass
