Although radium has been detected
by modern testing methods in almost
every sample of earth and water that
has been examined, the quantities
are usually so small that they could
not be profitably collected into an
amount great enough to do any good.
In fact, all the radium in the world
that has been collected for use would
not weigh as much as a golf ball and
could be put inside a pill box. Yet

to you."
Helena was crying now into her
pillow.
"You don't know what I've been

as we were married, and I tried to
make myself believe that he just

Minnie told her. "She has just I'M

"All right, Minnie, I'll go right In.

Her eyes narrowed as Natalie came
over and sat down on the edge OF the

"Well?"
"Don't be a boob. Helena. Wouldn't
YOU rather have me fiirt with John

Helena made no answer. She sim

Natalie had hurt her deeply, or at

ready to compromise.

in the sand. You might as we'll face

around with a Jerk. She stared fix

After all, this was Natalie, her little

What In your judgment should be
the attitude of a Christian man
toward the question of war and the
problems it presents?
Answer.-The best answer I know
has been given by 2S Of the leading
Christian churches in America. in
cluding the Greek Orthodox Com
munion. They declare that war Is
not inevitable and is usually futile.
They agree that 1t should be made
a. crime by international compact.
They also draw clear distinction
between the use Of force in police
service to suppress national and In.
ternational lawlessness on ono hand
and aggressive war on the other.
They further contend that such use
Of police force should be inspired by
the desire for human welfare; cor
rective and remedial in its nature and
having justice for all concerned as
its aim.
These statements Of a very Inn
portant conference depend for their
practical realization upon the reduc.
t!on of the suspicion. fear and hatred
which breed needless conflicts. That
these passions must be reduced with
view to their ultimate extermina'
ton and that moral disarmament
must precede physical disarmament
seem to be the logical conclusions.

Is 1t not true that the uneducated

Is it not this type of mind which

and persecution?
If Socrates was right. knowledge is
virtue. What do you think Of his
position?
Answer.-To be sure. ignorance is
big hindrance to virtue. But 1t
does not follow that knowledge as
sures virtue. Nor Is a mans ability
to form correct moral judgments an
assurance that he will actually prac.
tice them.
Lamentable pre3udices frequently
prevail In people whose personal be-
havior Is irreproachable, whereas
others Of a generous temper and wide
