The Track Of F;rebaH

Mr.. Adams has made a remark
aDly accurate representation of
the chief stars of the constelIa-
ton CAMS Major Greater Dog),
of which the brilliant dog star"
Sirius, is the leader, and across
which the fireball moved in near
ly a north-to-south direction.
Such chart at a glance gives
to the astronomer, when COM
bined with the date, hour and
place of observation, much of the
information that he needs for
calculating the real course Of the
celestial projectile during the
few seconds-for it could not
have been more-that 1t was
passing through the atmosphere.
When several observers at
widely separated points have seen
the same meteorite or fireball, If
all make similarly careful charts
of its apparent course 1t often
becomes possible to determine the
changing height, the actual direc-
ton of flight and the speed of the
object, and sometimes even the
place where Il probably struck the
earth.
The origin of those wonderful
missiles. which shoot through the
atmosphere at great heights ana
with enormous velocity, is still a

save to make him more skfIlful
and more reveneeful?
And who was really to blame
The baby who came helpless
into that infernog
Or We who permitted him to-
be reared III such bestiaIity?
That's the question Tolerance
forces us to answer. It's q hard.
ruthless, searching Question. It's
infinitely more ruthless than the
.old-fashkoned firmnesss which
Mrs. Horace Williams advocates.
That old-fashioned firmness was
q one-way firmness. It was firm
for the other fellows, but It neveF
laid any of the burden for his
sin on the shoulders az those who
judged him
Tolerance distributes the burden
Of sim Tolerance makes us who
look and permit abuse ais respor
sible as the chap who commits the
misdeed. And that's why Toler-
ance is the true law Of God. and
why the oId-fashioned domination
was simply fortified selfishness
and cruelty.
That domination did not main
tain decency 1T maintained weak
ness and hate and fear like cow
ering beasts in corral. 1t was
fairly easy to do that In our fore
father times. There were less
people and fewer facilities for
crime. The beasts have broken
out of the corral now. THEIR
number grew too fast to be longer
restrained by bonds Of law. They
are out at last and they are fac
ing the people who are jointly
responsible for their plight.
Only one thing win ever bring
harmony out of our present evil
confusion. Not Force-nor Law
Only Tolerance.
And the readjustment which
tolerance will bring.
