TALKING TO MARS

but might throw back his reply as
a sort of chance shot. He might
think, for instance, that the mes
sage had come from Jupiter,
whose huge globe will be glowing
brightly in the night skies OF
Mars in November, when the earth
is concealed in the sunshine.

the difficulty underlying any at
tempt to communicate with an
other world, even IL that COM
munication should consist of moth
ing more than a simple exchange
of signals. No ineligible mes
sages could be exchanged unless
there was community of language
between the inhabitants of the
two different worlds. But once
let an actual exchange of mere
signals be effected, and 1 should
not doubt that in the course of
time human genius, aided by the
intelligence Of our correspondents
in the sky, would bring about
that meeting of minds" which
a mutually understood language
implies.
Mars May Be First
1t may be that not we, but
some more intellectual race than
ours, dwelling, say, on Mars or
Venus, will be the first to span

been spread of the actual reception
of "mysterious" electric signals

above the earth. All such things
are taken with many large grains
of salt, but yet the physical pos

hardly be denied. If only the in

the way Mr.. and Mrs. Tremain
put it. God is not a vague, mys-
tical force, one-daya-week cere-
mony, to Mr.. and Mrs. Tremaln.
God is a person. Like you or
are persons A person they can
talk to. Who knows everything
they do and who will give advice
in the small affairs of their lives.
A loving, wise person who COM
forted and helped Mother Tremaln
that time when little Jimmy had
the bad sore throat. A friendly.
understanding person who is will
ing to listen to Dad Tremain's
worries about the monthly bills.
That's the way the Tremains
feel about God.
A good many people felt that
way about God when this coun-
try was young.
The Tremains are members of
a religious sect known as 1.-The
Elijah Voice Society,""
All the people of that sect feel
the same way about God. They
are a quiet. peaceful people. They
do not have any trouble with
their neighbors. They work hard
and observe the law. They are
good citizens and make no trouble
for the police.
But although they are excellent
citizens of the United States of
America they insist that God is
the Supreme Ruler and should
command their allegiance. How
ever, they feel that He is a
friendly ruler. They are sure that
He likes their good country of
America and wishes them to
stand by it and work for all its
interests. Which they have done.
That's the way the Tremains
feel about God and America and
that is the way they taught little
Russell to feel. They thought it
was the right and beautiful way
for little boy to feel about his
God and his country.
Then Russell went to school.
He was a good boy in school.
But one day something happened.
They had certain school eXer-
cises. In those exercises the chill
dren saluted the flag. Russell

communication" we ordinarily
mean exchange of intelligence,
which in this case would imply
the existence of intelligent beings
on another planet with whom we
could communicate. 1t might
then be said that before we try
thus to communicate we ought
first to establish the fact that
such beings exist. But. on the
other hand, it could be claimed
that the success of an attmeDt
at communication might be the
first available evidence of that
very fact-namely, Of the exist
ence of such beings.
No telescope is ever likely to be
powerful enough to actually show
living creatures on another planet,
not even on the moon. But if we
could send a complicated wireless
signal in the direction of Mars
this autumn while that planet is
in opposition to the sun, and con-
sequently relatively near the earth
and if we received the same signal
back, repeated apparently from
outside the earth, there are not
many who would not conclude
that intelligent beings on Mars
had perceived our signal and
echoed it back again, as their only
available way to let the senderS
know that it had been received.
Implying Much

Martians had wireless Geographic
apparatus. and that there was
some one there WideaWake enough
to notice a peculiar signal caught
by his wires and to trace it's origin

NEGOTIATIONS
OF A WIFE
BY Helen Rowland.
Mans LOve-and WOman's

Mans LOVe-and WOman's
To HIM, love is a scarlet cloak.
He wears it for a day
Then doffs it with the dying sun,
And drops it by the way.
To him, love is a little flame
A pleasant candle light
That burns a little while or 50,
And dies out with the night.
To HER, love is a lamp aglow-
A flame Of hearts desire;
BY night, a star that guides her
BY day, an altar-fire.
And yet, they seek to walk a
while,
As lovers, hand in hand.
HOW can they ever find the way?
A Mans heart is like a parking
"A space these days; if a girl
fingers there a minute over the
usual time-limit. she gets per-
emptory notice to remove herself.
A married man never knows
what he wants TO do until he
discovers what his wife doesn't
WANT him to do; then he gets
a real inspiration-and does it.
Too many girls are trying TO
make a career" Of love these
days-but love isn't a career.
It's either a curtain raiser to mar
riage, or just an amusing little
aVOcation.
