TO SPEAK OR NOT TO SPEAK

Probably there is no gift more fascinating than that of
fluent speech. Nor is there any other gift so likely to lead its
possessor into excuses and indiscretions. An oratorical tenn
permanent, coupled with really marked ability, is a combination
of peculiar possibilities. A cynic once said that when the Lord
gave a man a high tenor voice he seldom gives him anything
else. By the same token a musical speaking voice and extra
ordinary fluency are not always accompanied by studious
habits and sound judgment.
Most gifted orators speak too often. No man, not even a
super-man, can go on forever speaking for the edification of his
hearers. Either he will suffer physical breakdown or become
a rhetorical parrot. Recently the president of a university
In a western state remarked, as he-appeared before a convention
of some sort or other, This is my fifth speech today And
the day was but two-thirds gone when this confession was made
What is this but oratorcal dissipation?
Public speakers who are in constant demand might profit

Not To Speak, That is the Question" Which is to say that

The above slogan was the invention of Old John Robinson

WHY DIDN'T HE CALL THE DocToRY

The Journal of the American Medical association has made
a great discovery. Analysing the vital statistics furnished by
the census bureau, it has found that in the United States sal
most invariably the number of male births exceeds the number
OF female. This is true, not only in the United States, but also,
1t appears, in England and Wales"
10 be sure. 1t is also true in France, Germany, Canada,
Japan, Guatemala and the Island of Tahiti. Scientists have
known o a long time that it is the general rule that 104 to
Ioo males are born for every 100 females. The fact has even
crept into the encyclopedias. If the correspondent of the Jour-
nal OF the American Medical association had called up any doctor
VINO knows his business, he would not have been so startled by
the census bureaus figures.

"THE PROBLEM'

That one Of the greatest world
problems presenting itself for solu-
ton in the not distant future will be
in connection with the relations be-
tween whites and Negroes in those
parts of the world where they live to-
gether is widely recognized. Hence
it is no surprise that at the European
Bantu Conference held recently in
Cape Town the desire of the South
African natives for direct representa-
ton in the Union parliament found
strong expression. In South Africa
indeed, many feel some of the first de-
cisions will be reached regarding this
question. In the past there have
been two extreme points of view held
on this issue, that of the white man
who desired to dominate the Negro
completely and that of the native who
desired absolute equality with the
white man. The final solution of this
difficult problem is likely to be found
in the direction of an increasing rec
ognition of both sides to the rights of
each to self expression, the true well
fare of all being the fundamental re-
quirement of its Chris
