Aronld has entered into his in
heritance as a citizen.
what has Arnold done to merit
such a great reward? What has
ne endured to prove his right to
this priceless thing?
Arnold has never earned q
dollar in his life. He has never
been forced to endure single
privation. He has never con.
tributed one valuable service to
the government. He has never
titled a field, or raised hog or
built a house or mended his own
pants. He knows no useful trade.
He has depended entirely on the
services of other men. He has
lived on their labor and ingenuity.
He's a bunch Of human mistletoe,

When Go-go entered the Devil.
Bush he was eleven. His first
lesson was q severe one-he
learned to endure pain. Before
he could begin to study the crafts
he must receive the tribal mark.
This was made with a knife in
the fleshy part of the back and
filled in with wood ashes so
that 1t would heal in a heavy
welt. In some parts Of Africa
.Go-go would have had to endure
even worse pain than that be-
fore he could have become q
citizen. He might have had his
teeth knocked out or filed down.
he might have had to endure
torture by fire or fasting. But
whatever the method, Go-go must
learn to bear pain and hardship
before he can be citizen.
He must also learn how to
make cloth from bamboo and
raffia palms-how to make soap,
nets. spears and arrows--how 10

NEWTON'S LAW
By Garrett P. Seryiss

ISAAC NEWTON, who established
i the law of gravitation and gave
mathematical basis to astronomy
and natural philosophy, died on
March 20, 200 years ago. 1t is a
custom to commemorate a very
great man on the centenary of
both his birth and his death. The
period of 100 years is treated as a
sort Of pendulum swing In the life
Of q nation or the history OF a
civilization. This great pendulum
OF the centuries has now licked
twice since Newton died.
His name has long been a syn
onym for the highest form of
scientific genius. Until Einstein
and the Relativists arose in our
own day no challenge was made to
the Newtonian law of gravitation.
But their late challenge is only
partial, has not been universally
accepted, and Is put in a very
modest way, for, as a French phys
icist has recently said:
This law (Newton's) serves as a
foundation for the whole Of celes-
tai mechanics, it applies as well to
the revolution Of the moon around
the earth as to the fall of an apple,
and 1t is only within the last ten
years that Einstein showed that
the law OF Newton ought 10 be re-
touched, very lightly retouched."
No Real Conflict
It is only necessary to repeat
that not all of those who are
competent to judge have ad-
nitted this claim Of Einstein 8.
But let that pass. The complete
success of Einstein's theory would
not affect the essential correct.
ness of Newton's law.
It is noteworthy that. some Of
the warmest encomiuns upon
Newton on the occasion Of this
second centenary Of his death
have come from French leaders Of
science. This recalls the fact
that 1t was in France that New
ton found some of his earliest
admirers and disciples. Voltaire
stoutly defended Newton's teach.
ing, even against the doctrines
Of his great French predecessor,
Descartes. Voltaire was not a
man Of science, but he could ap-
preciate Newton. and whatever
he appreciated Voltaire was not
afraid to advocate.
He rebuked his countrymen for
stupid ignorance of the great
Englishman. When Newton in.
vented his telescope, voltaire
says, he was little known in
Europe. Il have seen a little
book" he adds. composed about
that time, In which. in speaking
OF Newton's telescope, the author
took him for asspectacle maker.

2. Would you say that this is a
formal affair? II so. what should
wear, dress suit? 1t is to be
at $50 o. m.
3. Can you suggest q gift?
4. To whom should it be ad-
dressed?
S. Should It be sent before the
wedding. to her mothers house.
or at her home later? C. B.
II the formal invitation is for
the church ceremony only. it is
not necessary to acknowledge it.
II. however. it includes an invi-
tation to the wedding reception
o. the wedding supper. or what.
ever form Of party is to be given
after the ceremony itself. 1t does
require an answer: A formal ans

In this way he pays honor to the
formality Of the occasion.
3. Anything for the home is
appropriate. A pair Of book-ends
is delightful present for a man
to send bride. Then. too, just
at present, anything in glass is
very welcome to the housewife,
since it does not mean so much
service to maintain as does the
formerly-popular silver. A serv-
Ice of glass salad plates, lovely
glass vase. large or small, a pair
OF glass candlesticks, all of these
would be welcome.
I. The wedding gift is addressed
to the bride at her home. This
is true even II one does not know
the bride.
5. The wedding gift is sent to
the bride. at any time before the
wedding. 1t is, however, more
convenient to her II the gift Is
sent fairly early, for then It gives
her time to write her thank.you.

Organization.

recommendation that a call be
issued for meeting of representa-
tives of civic and industrial organ
izations to consider establishment
of an Industrial Foundation here is
to be made to the indianapolis
Federation of Community Civic
Clubs Friday night at the Chamber
of Commerce.
A special committee, composed of
John F. White, Federation presi-
dent; E. O. Snethen and A. Leroy
Portteus, has made study of in
dustrial foundation proposals and
will make such recommendation in
Its report.
In its study of the situation the
Federation committee has been led
to conclude that the material inter-
ests of the city have been suffering,
that its prosperity it hindered and
further threatened, and its growth
retarded largely through lack of a
cordial and widely distributed CO.
operataion," says the report to be
presented
Must Face Facts
The committee also feels that
there has been a heSitancy to can
didly face the facts, which first
seems necessary in order to clear
the way for constructive action
looking to a healthy and prosperous
growth of the industrial and COM
mercial interests of the city.
I'm attacking this problem of in
dustrial development, various groups
are apparently working at cross pur-
poses, with none of them having
made any, substantial progress.
They have been doing this work
in civic atmosphere clouded with
uncertainty, if not distrust, and
however earnest and sincere such
efforts may be little progress can
be made. Large results do not seem
possible until some general plan of
cooperation is evolved in which all
elements of our city life can have
an honorable and useful part.
IuucptHucnt EStdUiiSuHlcHI
"It has been suggested that an
industrial foundation be established,
having for it's sole purpose the util-
ization of our natural resources and
the development of industry, using
the foundations facilities and it's
technical equipment whenever need
ed for constructive service to local
enterprises and in a larger way
bringing additional concerns to the
city.
1T Is the understood intention
that this foundation shall be indie
pendent of all other organizations
and to be widely subscribed. Such
foundations have been very effective
in other cities and have proved
potent means Of adding to their
growth aid general prosperity"
