The Common Good

DR.. Frank Crane draws such Won
derful graphic picture of our world
especially Of our country as 1T Will
be to future generations who will dis
cover what cooperation can mean
and the real delight that will come
from seeking the Common Good
where we now in childish ignorance
enthrone pride and precedence. He
says we are wasting nine-tenths OF
our energy fighting one another, fool
ishly believing that competition is
necessary to efficiency. He says that
one day we shall be born again and
with new spirit enter into the king
dom of achievement without waste.
"Then what cities we shall build" He
foresees old cities torn down and
built on single artistic idea, not
without spires and domes and towers,
but with plenty of courts and open
spaces besides, and acres of roof play
grounds for children and all struc-
lures adorned by the craft of future
artists who will serve the People of
the land and not privileged few. DR..
Crane extols that competition only
which has its outlet in the play of
mems minds, in art, science, sport
and such, but never in human toll
which is the cause of millionaires,
paupers, overfed privilege, starving
labor, strikes, armies and all these
things that some future day will seem
like Il dreadful dream,
Crane is an optimist who says that
mankind is tiptoeing on the edge Of
the greatest discovery OF history, the
need, the joy of the Common Good.

Heiinz's 81

February 26 was noted by the H. j.
Heinz Company as one of unique an
niversary. 1t was the 57th day of the
57th year of the operation of their
factories, now have ing a worldwide
reputation as producing 81 varieties
of pure food products. 1t was not the

good horseradish. Rather it was the
principle that still continues to be in
corporated in the business policy of
the firm that only food of high quail
ity should be offered the public They
have demonstrated another motto that
"To do common thing uncommonly
well brings success"

Smithsonian Expedition

Hunting expeditions are generally
of private enterprise even where the
government institutions are bene-
fitted by the presentation of speci-
mems and trophies. Just now the
Smithsonian Institution is 10" sar!ng
a huge EXPEDITION to Afr,c:, though
large financial aid is being extended
by Walter Chrysler of automobile
fame. This is said to be the largest
undertaking yet made by the Smith
sonian, and 100 species of animal life
varying in size from the largest to
the smallest are expected to be cap
tured for display in the geological
park in Washington which is, of
course, national park.

Church Pension Fund

One of the most splendid enter
prises that any church can institute
besides its definite missionary work
is one that provides for its wornout
or dependent workers after the age
Of service is past. Such a practical
plan is being waged as nationwide
campaign by the Presbyterian
Church, with the goal of $1,000,000
set as the adequate sum from which a
permanent pension service can be adj
ministered. It is true that all
churches have small fund for their
superannuates but it is only a dole.

National Research Needed

So far the largest aid to scientific
research has come from private en-
dowments to institutions or for GER
tain lines of work. Thirty college
presidents have endorsed plan tof
a National Academy Of Science TO
start a fund whereby wider oppor-
tunity for research may be afforded
those professors who possess the skill
for scientific investigations but are
handicapped by lack of apparatus or
have their energy Slapped b ythe bur
den of teaching. Secretary Herbert
Hoover was appointed chairman OF
the board who are to agitate TINS
campaign.
D. A. r. Receives Favor
The annual conference Of the Geor-
gia D. A. R. will meet in Americas on
March 16 to IS. A side trip planned
for the delegates will be visit to the
national cemetery at Andersonvllle
lust a few miles away. At the re-
quest of the Council of Safety OF
Americas, President Coolidge has
granted an unusual courtesy, sus-
pension of the standing rule that no
motor driven vehicle may enter the
cemetery. The visiting ladies will
very much appreciate this concession
as the time taken to view the grounds
on foot would be greatly heightened,
to say nothing of the fatigue that
such an inspection would cause: Now
they may by this special permit drive
leisurely through the wide eXpanse
of the park and retain only the most
pleasureable experience of their visit
there.
