Bigger and Better Sins
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE

a CANVASS Of citizens in public and private life in
n New York the other day revealed the fact that they
did not make any year resolutions but that they
wanted bigger and better sins.
The trouble with sins that there too few Of them
There too much of sameness There only ten com.
mandments and when you have broken all there is
nothing to do but 60 back and break them over.
After all the SHINING business pretty much
in rut and the people whose nerves are greatly
affected and the bored are those who make bust
of SHINING
The problem Of being good and doing good is adventurous
much Of samenes.
You often find those who have dedicated their lives to
doing base and full Of worldweariness but rare
to find whose life has been occupied IN doing good
who is not sereneIy happy.
The human being is Like everything else part Of nature
He is just much part of nature as tree is and the
way for him to enjoy perfect happiness possible
is to conform with natures laws.
And that is what doing good is merely conforming to the
the general order of things When you do wrong
it is simply like lose bolt in piece Of machinery The
whole structure rattles and goes to pieces.
Another for doing right is keeping ones self
used always to the scheme Of things In that case

Sometimes when you couldn't

questions, haven't your And
wished that you knew the ans
wer. Seemed as If life would be
a lot more exciting
somehow you could know what
it meant and why it was. Then
you've shrugged your shoulders
and sand "Aw, what's the use?
There isn't any answer"
But there IS an answer. Per-
haps it isn't the correct answer
but it Is an answer which stands
amazing tests and opens up aInaz.
Ing possibilities.
The answer which our wisest
men are giving to your questions
10 this-''LIFE is ELECTRIC
FORCE AT WORK"
We don't know much about
electricity. We first became
acquainted with it in June, 1852,
when Benjamin Franklin hooked
It out Of the storm sky on a wet
kite string. Before that men had
known lightning as flaming
wonder in the heavens. But they
had not known electricity as an
ever-present marvel in our lives.
For It's years we's experienced
with that mysterious Juice and
all science has been revolutionized
by those experiments. Check

The modern thigh schools"
throughout the country have
great space taken up with ''physi-
cal laboratories" chemical lab
oratories," biological Iabora.
tories" ETC., which enormously
increase the local taxes of the
community, while, in many cases,
the interior Of the laboratories is
as mysterious to ninety-nine one
hundredths Of the boys and girls
of the school as was the chamber
Of horrors to Bluebeard's wife.
The proper business OF primary
grade schools, and even of high
schools, is to teach with patience,
with care, with consideration, and
never with haste, the fundamen-
tai elements OF education, such as
lie at the bottom Of every mans
and woman's lifework, leaving
; the higher branches" for the
technical schools, colleges and
universities.
Basis Of Learning
To do this is not to deprive
any person of the means Of edu.
cation. but it is to make sure
that every person who goes to
school, and Is capable OF passing
through school. shall be thor
oughly grounded in those univer.
sal studies on which the whole
edifice Of education and of life
rests. In the race for higher edu.
cation. in the effort to push a
few exceptional individuals ahead
into studies that belong within
other walls. the great majority Of
the pupils are wronged through
neglect and through the effects
OF hurry. All minds do not receive
or handle impressions with equal
facility or rapldity. but 1t Is q
great mistake to think that slower
perception means inferior quality:
on the contrary 1t often accom-.
panies great mental ability.
There is no proper room In
public schools for researchers:
their place is elsewhere. The great.
need is for teachers who possess
q genius for. and love Of. teach
ing. They will send no candi-
dates to college who do not know,
the alphabet and the nultiplica-
ton table.

which we can. as vet. compre-
bend, and he calls this smallest
unit Of electricity the "electron."
You and / are but masses OF
electrons. says Professor Millikan.
Masses of electric force in a
film of matter. as the light in the
reading lamp is electric force in q
film Of glass. But It isn't the
glass film that makes the light.
or the body film that makes the
love and hate. the laughter and
tears and strength and desire OF
our lves-it's the electrical force
within.
The electrical force which runs
through all things ~ all acts.
That's Life-according to Profess
sor Millikan and the other great
scientists.
Mysterious force, whose source
or destiny we do not know, whose
energy, we are just beginning to
control, but which nothing can
destroy-think about that the next
time you wonder about life. Think
about that the next time YOU
grteve over Death. II this is true,
then well know how to conquer
life as we learn how to use elec.
tricity, won't we? And better
than that. we'll know how to con-
quer Death-for there will be no
more Death. Only the breaking
OF a film around q radiant force
which nothing can ever break.

NEGOTIATIONS
OF A WIFE

Rowland
on Loyers and Husbands

A LOVER. like a letter, is
"A something which woman
never gives up hope of getting
land which she always expects
to find in "the next male"
Woman is the responsible sex
and the average man always
lives either up to his wife's ex.
pectations or down to her sus-
picions.
If she ever listens in at the
husbands aIibi hour the
switchboard operator. is apt to
lose lots OF her beautiful illu-
sions about the sweet home life.
A wife. like dull toothache
or chronic neur!tis, Il something
of which man is only half
conscious, most of the time.
If marriage licenses cost as
much as diamond rings and could
be bought on the installment plan
like furniture, fewer license
clerks would be routed out Of
bed, at midnight, by impetuous
young lovers.
A man Is never hopeiessiy
confirmed bachelor until he
reaches that stage Of emotional
inertia where he can enjoy MAX
ing love to one woman while
he is thinking Of another.
Only one man In four thousand
becomes eminent" according to
statistics. That leaves the other
S,999 to pan him, and point out
his mistakes.
Nowadays, the most convinc-
ing .business-Iife story" Is that
in which the poor young heroine
works her way up from office

URGES RARE

HNHE discovery Of a germ reputed
