an increase in the storage of fat
resulting from the disproportion be-
tween the fuel taken in and the
fuel consumed.
It is interesting also that at this
time the greatest ACTIVITY is shown
by the creative and productive &C
tons of mankind.
In analysing human advance,
Doctor Warthin is convinced that
the success Of life, the career in
business or profession, the fullest
mental and spiritual development
and happiness are closely related to
and dependent on the management
of life during the period between
80 and As years Of age.
After that period has passed, the
human being begins to pass through
the regressive periods of senescence
and old age. Changes take place in
the body, beginning gradually and
insidiously about as years Of age and
continuing until the ages of IS
and 70.

Need for Calm

Inventiveness runs to politics as
well as machinery, to religion as
well as industry, to things spirit
ual as we'll as things material.
New theories of art, literature and
even creation itself keep pace with
labor saving devices. AS much sales
resistance is required to keep out
Of the insane asylum as to keep
out of the poor house.
Modern life not only presents us
with more contraptions than we can
buy, much less use intelligently, but
with an even greater number of
curious ideas. The stage, art, lit
erature and even the pulpit fling
them at us from every direction.
It is democracy asserting itself, but
the individual should watch his
step. So, too, should those who
have the job of teaching him to
walk.
There never was time in human
history when poiSe, calmnesS and
disposition to reason things out
were more essential.
we IRE pIdylub Will JOO OdIlSSI-
Gus instruments to trust anything
but dispassionate judgment. The
pressure brought to bear on appe-
titles and desires of every descrip-
ton to help business, to create a
market for amusement, to make
room for new cults, to provide work
for all kinds of specialists, experts,
quacks and freaks, demands a
superior degree of intelligence not
only for self-protection, but to pre-
serve society, government and So
cial stability.

Reason

0NCE a week scientists, scattered
~ over the British Isles, try to
broadcast through one Of them
seeking to project the thought and
the rest concentrating and trying to
pick it up.
They claim to have had more or
less success, which reminds us OF
similar performances, though the
actors in them were from scientific
and their vocabularies did not con-
tain the word psychology.
There was a certain family where
the mother sensed almost infallibly
the return of her children from time
to time, and acting on this feeling"
she prepared the articles Of food the
expected one preferred, and almost
without exception the forecast would
be verified by the appearance of the
one whose coming had been fore
seen.
This occurred so often it ceased to
be a matter of interest.

Then there was another time when
this same mother senSed the return
of her husband from Libby prison
during the Civil war and so strongly
did she sense it that she brought out
his clothes and made them ready.
AS she was explaining her feelings
in the matter, to a neighbor, the
gate clicked and they saw the re-
turning Union prisoner, from whom
no letter or ordinary message had
been received.

There's only one real plan and
1t is to create such a sentiment for
the amendment that its enforce

the only way to create such a SEN

It. The senate is challenging the Presidents noni-
nation of Roy O. West as secretary of the interior 1t
can follow no other course.
y Since West last summer was given h'S interim ap-
pointment to the interior department, there has been
wide public protest No questions Vests ability
as lawyer and man of affairs. Whether he is an
honorable man or not is beside the point
I The sole question is the proprety of putting pub

matters in which West has selfish personal interest

n AS secretary of the interior, West is member of

the government oil leases which there has been
such scandals in past administrations. In his hands
would rest the acute problem of conservation of

iment is unthinkable

Every one knows the chief condi-
tions associated with this period.
The teeth begin to decay and de-
mand more dentistry; the eyes fail,
so that glasses are required; the
hearing begins to lose it's acuSeness;
after IS the memory weakens, and
is extremely poor after 10 in most
cases.
After so years of age, the appe-
tite becomes less and the digestion
is not infrequently disturbed. The
pulse becomes slower and the blood
pressure somewhat higher.
Breathing changes during life
from a rate of % per minute in the
newborn, to 10 per minute in ma
turity and to 16 or lower in the very
old.
AS one grows old the hair becomes
gray and most often with the gray
ing is the development of senile
bristles in the nose, ears and eye
brows. The skin tends to become less
elastic and to wrinkle.

Fit to LGoyern2

Superstition, degeneracy, fake
stocks, mysticism, graft, obscenity
and crime would lose much of their
terrors were it not for the eternal
quirks and twists by which human
nature can be hynotized with some
notion, no matter how preposterous
or abominable.
Insofar as it can be solved by
purely human effort, the problem of
making people better goes back to
the task of teaching them to think
clearly and independently.
The theory that people are fit to
govern themselves collectively rests
on the assumption that they can do
so individually. 1t is false gospel
which teaches that society can be
better than the average Of it's mem
bers.

Habit Of Law

Law like liquor, can become a
habit and lead to just as great in
temperance.
When people permit themselves
to become slaves to an idea, they
are no less slaves because the idea
may be good. Sanity not only pre-
supposes power to distinguish be-
tween sound and nonsensical ideas,
but to resist obsession with either.
When you come to ize it up, OBJ
session with ideas is and always has
been responsible for most Of our
troubles. 1t can make an other
wise sensible man commit murder,
or suicide; is at the root of all
queer cults and furnishes the
ground for promoting vulgarity in
the name of art and making fools
Of ourselves in the name of liberty.

III 4ANos WhhAEh FEhIUSON
TINE well-to-do American wife is
4 coming in for more than her
share Of criticism. She is hauled
over the Goals with regularity be-
cause she does not do her own cook
ing and sewing and nursing, as her
grandmother did Dire prophecies
are sounded as to her ultimate fate.
And she is indeed one Of the most
pitiful figures of our civilization.
Not culpable, but pitiful. Hedged
in on every side by social custom.
softened by luxury, with her mind
atrophied by idleness, she still strug-
giles valiantly to overcome almost
inSurmountable handicaps. She
goes in for politics, reform, and con-
tract.
OF course, we say that the wife of
wealthy man would be infinitely
happier if she were obliged to do
her own housework and look after
her children. That is a self evident
fact. Nobody argues it. But how
is the poor creature to set about
doing this?
We all know that when man
has acquired a certain amount of
money he sets up a certain stand
ard Of living. His wife is in honor
bound to cooperate with him.
The first thing both of them do
is to hire somebody to do all their
work for them. And I am not one
who is entirely convinced that rich
men, as a class, work much harder
than their wives. They think they
do because they go to their offices
and sign papers.
But compare them with any ener-
getic laboring man, and do you re-
ally believe that they have very
much on their wives when it comes
to industry?
Indeed, it is the woman upon
whom devolves all the social re-
sponsibility for the farnily--a gi-
gantic task. And both husband and
wife suffer from the unnatural life
they are forced to lead, the nervous
strain, loss Of sleep, stimulants.
But does the wife have any in
centive for. changing her ways?
Quite the contrary. She is expected
by all the world to spend her time
identifying herself and cultivating
what is known as her charm"
The emptier her mind, the dearer
she is to her husband. che Is
little skittish of improving herself.
She knows too many self-made mill
lionaires who have left hard-work-
ing wives dangling while they moved
to eastern cities, taking younger
brides with lily-white hands,

half of it is directly traceable to
the late war.
In the first place, there is $685.
100000 for principal on the public
debt. In the second place, there
is 100000 for sinking fund. In
the third place, there. is $64O, 100000
for interest. In the fourth place,
there is $597,000,00O for the vet

IN a scientific consideration of the
l. changes that take place in the
human body during the aging pro-
cess, DR.. Alfred S. Warthin finds
that the peak of life is reached
somewhere in the level plateau of
years between 80 and so.
1t is not possible to say in what
year the peak is reached, because
the processes of life are gradual,
and there is a complicated inter
locking of activities.
The peak is that point at which
the vital energies make use of the
food taken into the body to run and
repair the machine without adding
to its substance.
There is usually an increase in
weight for both sexes during the
period from IS to 40, which is due to

Are Brazil and Venezuela in South
American agricultural countries?
Only small portion of the sur
face of Brazil that is suitable for
agriculture is under cultivation. The
agricultural population is small and
the farms and plantations are titled
in a very primitive manner. The
most profitable and largest crops
are coffee and sugar; tobacco and
cotton coming next. Small farms do
not flourish. Venezuela's chief in
dustry is agriculture. Coffee is the
most important crop. For domestic
consumption cereals, beans, potatoes,
manioc, fruits and vegetables are
produced, but the demand for wheat
exceeds the home supply.

the net number of extra (surplus)
positive electrons in the nucleus
Il. e., it shows how many positive
charges are in the nucleus and how
many negative charges are circulat-
ing in the orbits Of neutral atom.

OF a nucleus of positively charged
electricity, around which rotate at
very high speeds varying numbers Of
negatively charged particles.
