All our organs. the heart,

Therefore, it undoubtedly is true
that the stars, which abundantly
emit these rays, exercise influ.

bad? Either proposition could be
sustained. 1t is possible that,
through the atavistic pressure of

iZation without precedent in the
records of hypothetical science.
On the one hand, purporting to
proceed from a highly respected
scientific source, we have the
theory that these super X-rays
from space, whose kinetic energy
is so great that they easily pene-
trate six feet of solid lead, are the
agents that supply and maintain
the life-energy of all living cells.
On the other hand, but having
far less important origin, is the
speculation, transmitted by cable
from Europe, that these same
rays may be the secret cause of
cancer and other mysterious hu-
man ills.

If We live courageously here on

We feel the whirring of the

to LIVE enough.
And in the second place, suicide

If your life and mine 20 on there
