This is just as true of your
spiritual CUTS as it is OF your
physical CUTS.
You may have the finest COM
plexion in the world, the most
classical features, a lovely ankle
or a punch like Jack Dempsey.
But If your Cuts are inadequate
you're going to fade from the
scene pronto. Any doctor will
tell you that.
BY the same token, you may
have an AL standing in the soci-
al register, a wonderful knowl-
edge Of etchings, perfect French
accent and the clinging allure Of
a porous plaster, but If you
haven't the requisite Cuts you're
a flat tire spiritually, dearie.
And nothing in all the world
can make up the lack. The sur
geons can lift your face and the
beauty experts can put a perma-
nent wave in your hair. But
there isn't specialist on earth
that can give you Cuts, if ma
ture left them out.
Which same applies to the in
ternal ramifications of the soul.

The American nation was
founded on Cuts.
The humans who filled the May
flower were not conspicuous for
their culture nor social standing
nor were they the most popular
members of the Home Town
Gang. But they had Cuts.
They saw a vision Of a greater,

beside 1t the huge, round form
of the earth, less black than
the sky and probably encircled
with red rim. And all the
stars would be shining. un-
abashed by the presence Of the
SUN.
Left 10 Imagination
You would be among the low
ridges Of the lunar plain called
the Sinus Medii, with two little
craters near you, but the great
ragged mountain rings, with
their cavernons abysses, would be
beyond your horizon. Would you
see any living thing or creature
in that airless. brazen furnace?
Ask your imagination, for science
does not answer.
To escape from the awful heat
you would have to mount your
magic horse and rein him across
those flaming deserts, yawning
craters and wild, repellant noun
tains to that side Of the moon
that is never turned toward the
earth. AS you crossed the bor-
der Of night on the rim OF the
lunar world you would go from
unclouded daylight into complete
darkness in the twinkling OF an
eye. And the cold Of empty
space would drop upon you like
a mantle of frost.
A faint radiation of absorbed
solar heat might rise out of the
blackness from the rocks be-
meath you that had been baking
during a fortnight in continuous
sunshine, but quickly as your
horse flew onward toward the
center Of the other hemisphere
of the moon, the temperature
would sink as far below the
poles Of greatest cold on the
OF midsummer's day.
The heavens above you would
still be jet black as they had APP
peared on the sunward side, and.
as there, would be ablaze with null
titudes Of stars that the darkest
night on earth cannot reveal
Day and Night
The side OF the moon where
you would now have arrived has,
like the earthward side, its regu-
lar succession Of day and night,
each about q fortnight in length.
For. as the moon circles around
the earth, turning the same face
always toward our planet, 1t has
its earthward side toward the
sun at full moon, and it's oppo-
site side toward the sun at new
moon. So daylight does, in it's
turn, shine upon that hemi-
sphere which no human eye has
ever beheld, beyond q narrow bor-
der, which is alternately swung
into and out of our sight by
what is equivalent to a slight
balancing motion Of the moon.
But two-fifths Of the lunar sur
face Is forever hidden from us.
1t Is the back of the MOON"
which she never turns toward us,
though the sun and the stars,
and the other planets also, are
privileged to see it. What would
you find there, II you could main
tain life amid such surroundings?
Even more than before, you must
depend upon the imagination for
any answer that you can get.
The curious theory that, be-
cause of a supposed reformation
OF the moons globe, oceans and
an atmosphere may exist on the
invisible hemisphere, was once
seriously discussed by astronom-
ers, but no evidence that such a
really exists has ever
been obtained. AS far as we can
at favorable times see beyond
the average limit, the surface of
the moon resembles that which
Is continually in view; but by
law of the human mind what ia
unknown Is assumed to be I'M
common, and the imagination is
free to find marvels on the back
of the moon.
