Yes or No?

|. Iron oxide scum on the surface
Of water is often mistaken for oil
scum. Is there any way to tell the
difference?
>. Is there any reason why under
nourished children so often have such
poor appetites?
3. Has the germ which causes the
disease known ms sleeping sickness or
Encephalitis lethargica ever been dis
covered?
4. Could animals smell before the
nose was developed?
>. Is it possible for n person to
live without n ccrebrum:
Answers TO these questions may be
found:
/. Yes. When iron scum is brok-
en-, it forms angular fragments which
do not readily unite, while oil scum
breaks in round fragments which
unite very readily.
.. Yes. In cases Of undernourish-
ment, the greatest loss in weight
comes from the loss of the fat tissues
and the next greatest per cent comes
from the gland tissues. With this
loss comes a diminished activity of
all the glands, a decrease in, the gas
tic juice and corresponding indiffer-
cnce to food.
3. Yes. 1t is now believed that
Encepbalitis lethargica or sleeping
sickness, which is more common in
this country than is ordinarily
thought, is caused by n rather un
usual strain Of the ordinary strepto
coccus germ.
I. Yes. The sea anemonc, which
is an animal and not plant, is
able to detect odors by means of
olfactory reccptors all over its body.
,. Yes. A child born without a
cerebrum lived for four years.

Why is a family?

Why is a family?
Are families conversation?
Can you talk about EN- free and
noisy. just the way you would about
prohibition or petting parties or Aunt
Etta's wart or what a crab the boss
is?
Or may you only mention them in
whispers after bowling three times to
the west and burning n hair from the
tail of a cross-eyed cat?
The latter would seem to be the ac-
cepted mode in our ritzier circles. if
President Campbell's recent decision
is 10 be taken as law.
President Campbell is at the head
of the University of California. There
are quite a number of young women in
that university who will presently be-
come wives and mothers. Naturally
they have large ideas about the I'm
portance of the job and are determined
to improve on mama's and grandma's
technique. So they planned public
debate with the girls of Stanford on
the subject: Resolved, that the fam
lily is not necessary for the progress
of civilization"
NnercupOn 4FeSluenL CampDcll
placed n damper on the festivities by
ruling that such a subject was not a
fit subject for public discussion and
forbade the argument.
Now. we're willing to agree that We
personally know lot of families that
aren't fit subjects for public discus
sion. but why pick on them all?
These young ladies were not about
TO advocate free love, divorce. birth
control, polygamy, polyandry or any
other improper propaganda. They
were going to discuss an institution
which has undergone an infinite num-
Der of changes in human history and
from all appearances, seems ripe TO
undergo a lot more.
This statement itself may surprise
many who think Of The Family az an
argument which has existed from time
immemorial in its present form, and
can, indeed, know no other form. But
the family can and has known other
forms. 1t was at one time a Matri-
archy-with Mama debating the sem-
lily policy. At other times it was

LISTEN, WORLD!
Why Is a Family?
BY ELSIE ROBINSON

| mother, father and children were
under community supervision. Some
times papa played big part in the
family life. Sometimes he didn't.
Sometimes the mother gave all the
years Of her life to service of child
and father. Sometimes she didn't.
We have at present many forms OF
family life in the world. The Ameri-
can plan differs materially from the
English plan. They both differ from
the French plan aud all three are at
variance with the Chinese plan.
The college girls were going to dis
cuss these variations.
They were going TO discuss whether
it's better TO raise children in GEN.
tralized nurseries. under government
regulation or allow them to grow up
under the present hit-or-miss regime.
They were going to debate whether
it was better for Mr.. and Mrs. to
spend seven days of the week together
or only occasional wcck-cnds.
They were going TO consider whether
love might not be prouder and more
constant thing, if both husband and
wife were doing creative work outside
the home.
In short, they were going to discuss
any possible change or modification
which might enable men and women TO
work together and raise their children
with greater fairness, honesty and
kindness. Which is something the
present family lineup often falls far
short of doing. But which might pos
sibly be accomplished by some other
argument.
That's what the co-eds OF Berkeley
and Stanford were going to debate and
that is what Professor Campbell de-
clares TO be an unfit matter for public
discussion.
If so. what in time is a fit matter
for public discussion?
Is there any institution that is at
present in greater confusion than the
institution of the family? There is
not. Is there any problem that is n
greater menace to our national we'll
being than this problem of the broken
home? There is not. Then in the
name of all that's decent, sane and
urgent, why not discuss families:

Meditations of

The happiest marriage in the worll

FRIENDSHIP.
Why shouldn't a husband and wife

need is FRIEND-not a lover.
Why shouldn't two people be the
best pals in the world-after the gloiy

ment of young love have worn off:

for them TO play, any sentimental fenc-
ing or any false role for either Of them

eyes open. after the nine-days' Won

She has seen him with his face GOV.

She has known his judgment to

has watched him hopclessly struggling
to make q garden grow or a motor car
go-and stilled his muttered curses.
She has caught him fibbing--and
forgiven him.
And SHE knows that she can't
bluff him into thinking that she is a

FERROUS creature. any longer.
FIe has seen her covered with

He has soothed her Mysteries and

There is no Clamorous mystery

Echoes.

Were one to ask, could not tell
whence these glad fancies stray; l
only know the joyous stream keeps
flowing day by day. All hours cannot
be bright and fair or wholly free from
pain, and yet / find the song of life
still runs to glad refrain. Some radi-
ance ever penetrates the Swallowed
ways Of earth, aud still on drifting
breczcs ring faint tones of distant
mirth. SO ] weave only brightest
threads, emitting hate and wrong, that
they may form from day 10 day the
fabric Of my song. And all the little
shining rays that add their bits OF
light arc but reflections Of tho CLEANS
from other souls delight. Were ono
TO ask, could not tell what lifts my
spirits wings only know my echoes
rise from some deep voice that sings.

the merits of a tonic, giving
the hair an exquisite softness
and lustre besides thoroughly

flow Of immigration into the United
States has been stemmed by an in
telligent selection Of aliens at the

One of the outstanding accom-
plishments in the immigration bur
eau's administration during the past
year, the report said, was the extern
sion Of the foreign service to con-
tinental Europe, technical advisers
on immigration questions having been
assigned to Great Britain, Belgium.
the Netherlands. Poland, Germany.
Norway. Denmark and Sweden.
A decrease in the number Of i'm
migrants refused entry after reaching
Ellis Island resulted. .the report ado
ed, l.2 per cent Of the 276,646 aliens
who arrived in 1925 having been ex
cluded. but only six-tenths Of one
per cent of the 27O,O74 being re-
jected.
The total number of aliens admitted
during 1926 was 496,lO6. including
1871 ,168 non-immigrants. compared to
45S,435 with l64,l2l non-immigrants
in 1925.

admitted during 1896" said the re-
port, "came from countries on the
eastern hemisphere, but the net re-
suits Of immigration and emigration
gives the western hemisphere a high
