GOOD YEAR FOR GOOD SHOWS

The current theatrical in New York, ac-
cording to observer is really unusual in
spect That is the fact that the successful plays
record and the failures playing to incredibly
smaller business Many plays that might have got
by in a small way in other years have failed outright
this year.
This same observer, on a recent trip to the Me-
tropolis 10 plays in week all of which play
ing to full houses and all Of which of sound and
exceptional merit either in themselves in the
of their presentation. There other worthy pro-
ductions which lack of time prevented his seeing.
This seems to imply several things, one being that
the theater-going public does know good stuff when
IT it, and goes to it in throngs when it has the
chance. Another may be that there more good
plays available so that the restless theater patron
doesn't have to go to the second-rate shows.
1t is lively situation and consequently hopeful
one-hopeful from the viewpoints OF playWrights, pro-
ducers and audiences alike.

HUE[AN ETOLLTION

Some of the anti-evolutionists in the churches,
suggests American biologist really pretty thor
ough-gcng evolutionists, because:
"If all the races of the world have arisen among
the descendants of Noah since the Flood this carry
ing on human evolution far faster rate than any
zoologist would dare claim before scientific audi
ence"
good deal of the argument, in this field as else
where, is due to misunderstanding and eiudices a.
bout words. If the word development used in
stead Of 'evolution' many people would be clearer
and camer about it. Nearly everybody will grant that
life develops"
It would help, too, if the science-region argument
were narrowed down to man. Most people don't
how animals and plants created and probably
willing to accept scientific proc that horses and birds
and other creatures have come from lower forms.
Then, narrowing the argument down to man, it
would help still more to distinguish between mans
body and soul
"If the scientists prove that mans physical
body developed from lower forms along with the bod
les OF inferior animals says open-minded minister
what of it? The thing that makes Man is not his
body, but his spirit That dfferentiates him from the
other animals. 1t is the human spirit. not the body
that religion is concerned with Science says nothing
about that.
CAS- long scientists let explain man spirit
afford to let science explain his body"

SPIRITUAL PROGRESS

Perhaps foreign visitors who have sized up the
American people wholly interested in business and
material progress have failed to take note of certain
signs OF artistic and spiritual interests which deye
oping. The head OF f0urishing art school remarked
to an audience recently:
"Americana are proving the truth Of the conten-
ton that business alone doesn't satisfy AS they get
along toward in business, they turn to music,
the fine arts natural history and education as new
outlets for their energies.
Anyone who follows the news and observes daily
events in his community can see for himself that
this tendency exists. Even when the cynical observer
suggests that much of this interest in cultural sub
iects is superficial and rooted chiefly in fads Of the
moment, he can be answered With evidence that ire
quenty superficial interests become deeper. Spirit
ual progress has begun.

A LOAD OF AIR MAIL

The most notable thing about that last flight of
Lndbergh's the load he carried. On the trip from
ST. Louis to Chicago and return he bore total weight
of 4278 pounds of mail, estimated to number 100000
pieces.
The postage that mail more than $4,000,
paying generously for the flight
1t special performance, of course, aided by
the appeal of the most popular of pilots and great
deal of publicity But it showed in a spectacular way
what may be done in the way of sending mail matter
by air transport instead of the usual earth-bound
routes.
More Of such advertising the part of Lindbergh
and others, will help rapid development Of the air
mail service. 1t would help still if the postal
rates for air mail were reduced.
Most people cannot afford, except in special cases,
to send their letters by present rates. drastic
cut in postage would provide far bigger cargoe for the
air mail lines and doubtless pay for the service.
